Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day!
Today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day! (Look it up… it’s really a thing.) And it’s awesome. Basically everyone in the world has permission to throw in some ‘Avast matey’s’ and some ‘Arrrrrs’ into normal everyday conversation.

Star Wars and Harry Potter
Before I write another word, Star Wars has always been and will always be my very favorite movies of all time. I know every line. And every time I watch any one of them my heart is immediately lightened. It’s nostalgia and joy and all manner of good things wrapped in a bow. Sort of…

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…

30 Days of Nerdy Hair
Day 22: The Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of Oz Dorothy isn’t the only one with fabuloufabulous hair. Once the gang hits the Emerald City the Lion gets a primo makeover. Since my hair is already lionish curly, all I needed was to add this adorable red bow.

30 Days of Nerdy Hair
Day 20: Sally from The Peanuts Sally has always been my favorite Peanut! Precocious little sister to Charlie, perpetual stalker of poor Linus. She’s hilarious. Her hair, however, proved difficult. And is a case of inspiration over imitation. I started off with rolling my hair into knots before bed last night. Like I did for…
