– Right now my brother is halfway around the world serving his country. Right now I am sitting comfortably in my house in sunny San Diego. He is a better man than I, it’s true.

The Star Wars Experience
My Dad came to SoCal to visit my brother and I and being the family o’ nerd that we are, we decided to go to the Discovery Science Center’s Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination exhibit in Santa Ana. I’ve always wanted to visit the giant black cube that looks suspiciously Borg-like so this was… Continue reading The Star Wars Experience
Best Nerdy Cakes Ever
I’m not gonna lie, I’m more of a pie girl than a cake girl…Mmmmmm…rhubarb….but one thing that cake has going for it that pie doesn’t is it’s artistic possibilities. Seriously, you can do ANYTHING with cake. As a Food Network afficianado I know this for a fact. A friend recently sent me a photo of… Continue reading Best Nerdy Cakes Ever

Nothing says “party” like a large punch bowl full of fresh blood wine. Blood Wine is the favorite alcoholic beverage of the Klingons, a race of warrior aliens from the planet Qo’noS. Originally an enemy of the Federation, the Klingons have been allies for quite some time. Just don’t ask them about how their foreheads went from being smooth… Continue reading Cooking with Hot Nerd Girl: Klingon Blood Wine
The Nerdy Nine – In Memoriam 2011
It’s that time of year again. The time when we pay homage to those who passed away in 2011.

It’s been over a year now and I still can’t… Continue reading The Nerdy Nine – In Memoriam 2011
Cooking with Hot Nerd Girl: Ambrosia
Remember when I told you that cooking was NOT one of my many talents? Well, it’s about to become very obvious to you. The Butterbeer recipe was the last one we shot so I had kind of gotten in to the swing of things by then (and had a few drinks…ahem). Ambrosia, on the other… Continue reading Cooking with Hot Nerd Girl: Ambrosia
Trek Nation and the Next Generation of Greatness
About 10 days ago I got an email asking me if I was interested in joining Rod Roddenberry at a private viewing of his documentary Trek Nation being held for his friends and a few fans. Uh…does the Enterprise have warp nacelles?? It was not a difficult decision 😉 Rod and his peeps were kind… Continue reading Trek Nation and the Next Generation of Greatness
7 Nerdy Things From Hot Nerd Girl’s Office
A while back (maybe September?) I posted on the Hot Nerd Girl facebook page that I was having a hard time figuring out how to organize all of my Star Trek stuff in my office. The fans a) thought it was a really great problem to have and b) demanded pictures. I promised I would… Continue reading 7 Nerdy Things From Hot Nerd Girl’s Office
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 – the End of an Era
Yes, I cried. Quite a bit at one point. And while the scenes were touching and poignant and emotional and all that good stuff, a large part of it was a sense of mourning that this was it. No more books and now, no more movies either. The posters and billboards plastered everywhere are clear:… Continue reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 – the End of an Era
