San Diego Comic Con 2012 (Saturday Highlights)
It’s 2:00am again and I’m still sleep deprived. Yesterday was a BFD day for me. It was my first time cosplaying at a convention. I chose to dress up as my favorite comic book superhero/Norse God, Thor (I’m such a good little Norwegian). I put this costume together myself and even did some light sewing… Continue reading San Diego Comic Con 2012 (Saturday Highlights)

Lucky 13: Maxim’s Hot Nerd Women of 2012
Normally this post would have come out right after the list was announced as it did last year. However, this has been a crazy busy Summer and I just spent 2.5 weeks in New York helping to take care of my two nieces. In short, I’ve had very little free time. Better late than never,… Continue reading Lucky 13: Maxim’s Hot Nerd Women of 2012
An Out of this World Fair

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter reviewed
Let me start off by emphasizing how much I loved the book Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith. Fun, adventurous, perfectly intertwined with historical fact. It was truly brilliant and inspired. Now let me emphasize how much I didn’t like this movie. I almost can’t believe the script was written by my beloved SGS. … Continue reading Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter reviewed
Star Trek Captains Podcast (Ten Forward)
This is a very sleep deprived HNG coming to you from New York City. I’m here visiting my nieces and having a great time with them. Unfortunately for me, I usually go to bed around midnight-2:00am California time. Combine my sleeping habits with the time zone change and my body wants to go to sleep… Continue reading Star Trek Captains Podcast (Ten Forward)
“Ask a Foley Artist” – Interview with Dean Minnerly
As I mentioned on the HNG facebook page, I did an interview with Dean Minnerly, Foley Artist for Universal Studios. I also mentioned that he is my stepdad. Now, I should probably offer a quick explanation because I talk about my parents a lot and it can get a bit confusing because I have 6… Continue reading “Ask a Foley Artist” – Interview with Dean Minnerly
Snow White and the Huntsman reviewed
The previews for Snow White and the Huntsman were gorgeous. People morphing into ravens and shards of obsidian, a T-1000 mirror, Charlize Theron bathing in a vat of white paint. All very cool visuals. So I was super excited to see all of these beautiful shots come together in one stunning example of marvelous movie… Continue reading Snow White and the Huntsman reviewed
Happy 35th Anniversary Star Wars
The quality of George Lucas’ film making skills have been the subject of much debate for the past decade. But no one can deny the fact that 35 years ago today he changed the world as we know it. Star Wars was a tour de force and geekdom will forever be in his debt. Thank you… Continue reading Happy 35th Anniversary Star Wars
