    A very special After Who

        Over the weekend I was invited to attend the screening and After Who taping for Doctor Who, Series 8. And incidentally the premier of the brand new 13th (if you’re counting correctly) iteration of The Doctor. Host Chris Hardwick of The Nerdist, and proclaimed die-hard Whovian, had a panel of fellow nerds on…

    Yeah… It Matters

    After seeing video after video of friends, family members, acquaintances and celebrities douse themselves in freezing water I thought it was the dumbest stunt I’d ever heard about. How was it gonna raise money if everyone chose the bucket over the donation. But that has not been the case!! And in fact as of yesterday…

    The Good, The Bad and The Bigger Problem

    This weekend I went to see Marvel’s live show at the Barclay Center. And let me begin by saying that it was amazing! The costumes, the sets, the background CG work, the stunts, the pyrotechnics. It was a complete joy ride! And with the partnership of characters that we can only dream of seeing in…

    Let’s Start Talking About It

    Photo : © Matt Sayles Today the world lost a wonderful and talented actor to a horrible disease (if the reports that are coming in are true.) And it has effected me more than I thought it would. The sad truth is that you can never perceive the internal struggles a person goes through. We saw…

    Rom-com Syndrome

    Saturday night was a lazy night of bumming it at home with some ice cream and a bunch of romantic comedies. This is a very fun activity when in a group of like minded single ladies. But I caution watching these movies alone. It’s akin to an alcoholic at home alone with a bottle of…

    Leaky Con

    Yesterday was a very full and eventful day at Leaky Con. I simply adore Harry Potter, but I admit, I had an alternate purpose for attending this Con. I am currently in production on a little web series that I hope to share with you very soon. And wanted to soak up the creative energy…
