Cool New Thing

This is my newest obsession. It’s called Loot Crate and it’s a monthly subscription to a box of nerd amazingness. I’ve seen subscription services like this for makeup and beauty products. I subscribe to Birchbox. But this is the first nerdy onei’ve come across. It’s less than $20 a month to subscribe and it just…

The Pianist, The Poem and The Captain of the Starship Enterprise

At his side was Emmanuel Ax performing the companion accompainiment on piano written by Richard Strauss in 1897. I studied piano for…

Wizard of Oz Revisited

Last night a friend and I went to see The Wizard of Oz on the big screen in Imax 3D. And let me just recommend, that if you have the chance to go while it’s in theters, you should go! It’s always been a visually beautiful film and the 3D element adds so much more.…

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. Personally, I think that if the whole world participated that we’d have a lot less international conflict.…

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…
