Something wicked this way comes
Witches have had a pretty bad rap. Throughout history they’ve been portrayed as ugly old hags bent on evil doing or using magic for profit. The Stygian Witches personify this stereotype. Three hideous crones sharing one eye and one tooth between them and practicing cannibalism (although how they managed to eat flesh with one… Continue reading Something wicked this way comes
Halloween Conundrum
With Halloween fast approaching and me not able to decide just what super nerdy character I should dress up as this year I thought to myself, “Hey! You have a blog! Let’s crowd source this sucker and get some help!” (And yes, in my head I’m yelling at myself….!!!!!) Here are a few of the outfits… Continue reading Halloween Conundrum
RED: Really Excited Dork
Actually, it stands for Retired, Extremely Dangerous and if this movie proves anything, it’s that they don’t make them like they used to. I say this for two reasons. There is the obvious one: the movie revolves around older and much more experienced agents battling it out against younger, less experienced agents. And the less… Continue reading RED: Really Excited Dork

X-Men Series II = greatest trading cards ever
It might shock you to learn this. But I was, at one time, the owner of a complete set of X-Men Series II trading cards. It’s true. I also collected baseball cards, because like any self-respecting tomboy I played baseball, not softball. Softball is for chicks. But Series II was my most favorite set of… Continue reading X-Men Series II = greatest trading cards ever
Red shirt, blue shirt, gold shirt, no shirt
Now there’s a Dr. Suess book I could get behind. Poor, poor redshirts. They never stand a chance. If I was a gal going in to Starfleet Academy in the year 2267, I would request a job that required a blue or gold uniform. Why were the redshirts always the first to go?
