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
Cooking with Hot Nerd Girl: Butterbeer
I don’t cook. Let me repeat. I. do. not. cook. I decided a while back that I should at least TRY to learn. And if I was going to risk setting my kitchen on fire then I wanted to do it while making food that sounded appealing to me and what’s more appealing than food… Continue reading Cooking with Hot Nerd Girl: Butterbeer
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
Dear Walking Dead (again)
[youtube:http://youtu.be/grWV8WZtAQc] – Dear AMC’s The Walking Dead (again), I’ve had nightmares about you for the last four nights in a row. Not cool. It’s all your fault, you know. You draw me in with your compelling story telling, make me fall in love with you all over again, and then scare the living daylights out… Continue reading Dear Walking Dead (again)
Immortals (sort of) Beloved
Here’s the thing. Does this movie have a pretty basic plot? Yes. Is it full of pretty young people? Yes. Is it worth paying the $12 ticket price? I think so. I’ll admit that I liked Immortals much more than the two other people I attended it with and it’s probably because of the gratuitous violence… Continue reading Immortals (sort of) Beloved
For Veterans Day 11-11-11
In my family Veterans Day is the most important day of the year, revered more than Halloween, Thanksgiving or Christmas. Whereas Memorial Day is marked by a certain degree of sadness, Veterans Day is about celebration. It’s about giving thanks to those among us who have answered the calling to serve their country. I often… Continue reading For Veterans Day 11-11-11
Long Beach Comic Con wrap-up 2011
On Saturday I went to Long Beach Comic Con, a fairly young comic book convention that is small enough that comic books *GASP!* are still the primary focus. Imagine that. Anyhooters, it was pretty epic for me because I attended as a “professional” aka a member of the press. My list of press passes has been steadily… Continue reading Long Beach Comic Con wrap-up 2011
Xena: Warrior Princess Photoshoot
Soooo, it doesn’t typically take me 6 months to complete a project but this also wasn’t your typical Summer. I undertook a huge move and a lot of changes to my life in the past 6 months. So what started with this resulted in this. The donations came in pretty quick (thanks to those who… Continue reading Xena: Warrior Princess Photoshoot
Remembering the Great Bird of the Galaxy… (I miss you, Gene Roddenberry)
October is a bittersweet month for me. On one hand, there’s Halloween and all of the fun festivities that the holiday entails. But October is the month when several of my loved ones have passed away so there’s also a lot of sadness. Even though I never met him personally, the one anniversary of someone unrelated… Continue reading Remembering the Great Bird of the Galaxy… (I miss you, Gene Roddenberry)
