Star Wars Episode VII: 1 Year To Go

Today marks one year until Star Wars Episode VII hits the theaters. And if you’re a Star Wars nerd like me, then you have been waiting with baited breath for each and every scrap of news that’s come out. But we have to beware, everyone. There’s a lot of false prophecy out there that you must…

30 Days of Nerdy Hair

Day 6: Yvaine from Stardust If you’ve never seen the movie Stardust, then you are missing out on a cinematic treat. This movie based on the novel by Neil Gaiman, is funny, romantic and action packed. It’s as close to a modern day Princess Bride as any movie could possibly get. And since it was…
