Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The fall lineup for television this year is chock full of delicious treats! But I am looking forward to ABC and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Kingpin of nerdom himself, Joss Whedon, is heading up the project as well as continuing his work on Avengers 2: Age of Ultron. (Busy man!) By far the most exciting…

There’s a Giant in my Pantry

From Skywalker to Solo
A Journey to Womanhood There are many theories regarding when, exactly, a girl truly becomes a woman. Is it her first training bra, first period, the first time she has sex? I say ‘Nay!’ to all of that. I subscribe to the ‘Skywalker to Solo Theory.’ Here’s the what: As I have mentioned many a…

Fitness for nerds
I hate to say it, but there still seems to be a stigma around being a nerd. I’m not quite sure why. Especially when our representatives look like this… And this… And this… And this… And, oh… hi…this… Anyways, if the sterotype does still exist I have found an ap to inspire the most sendentary…

I Like It and I Don’t Care What You Think!
Here’s the thing… I like Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Spike TV was having a marathon last weekend… as usual. And possibly in lieu of the 30th anniversary of Return of the Jedi. And sure… it’s a weak installment in the canon and I could write a list of things that didn’t work…

Tearful Goodbye
Last night was the series finale of The Office. And It was a beautiful goodbye. It had everything you could want from a finale. Happy endings, reunions with old friends (wink, wink), and a look back at the years past. In this case, the 9 years The Office spent on the air. I realized something…

Star Trek Into Darkness
Warning: This post contains spoilers. Star Trek Into Darkness is an amazing follow up to J.J. Abram’s 2009 Star Trek. It has everything you want and expect from something holding the illustrious title of Star Trek. But at the same time… this ain’t your daddy’s Trek. It’s updated and modern in all the right ways…
