What was I thinking?
So, I decided to give up TV for Lent this year. I know, I know. You’re wondering if I can even do it, given my deep and abiding love for my stories. And yes it’s really hard. Here are 10 reasons why: 1. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is just getting good!!! SHIELD is finally poised to…

The Pinterest Wormhole
Have you ever got caught in the inevitable Pinterest wormhole? You know what I’m talking about. One little picture of Tom Hiddleston’s face and you are knee deep in pinning every expression he’s ever made. Which leads you to that one photo of him and Benedict Cumberbatch together. Which is just about the most perfect…

Why We Watch…
Last night saw the 86th Annual Academy Awards Ceremony. Broadcast to millions of people in many countries and tons of languages. I don’t have all the statistics as to how many, but given what live TV is these days, I know it was a lot. And it was a great show. Very entertaining and so,…

When a Man Marches
All week I have been thinking about the impact of Martin Luther King Jr. on the very fabric of our existence in today’s world. Monday saw the birthday of this honorable man and I couldn’t help but wonder what our lives and even more, our world, would look like without his work. And in that…

25 days of (nerdy) Christmas!
“Little Drummer Nerd!” Day 18: Snuggle time When it starts to look like this outside… Then it’s time to quit crafting… put on your PJ’s and fuzzy slippers, like this… And just watch terribly cheesy romantic holiday movies. The kind you see on Hallmark and Lifetime and ABC Family, basically anything with Melissa Joan Hart…

“O Christmas nerds! O Christmas nerds!” Day 12: Origami Nintendo mushroom ornaments The directions for this origami ornament can be found here. I just took the template and made it Nintendo specific by adding little eyes and then used a fine fishing line to string them into ornaments. This is super easy and a real…
