Book Con and the Fun (Part 2)
So I make it to the Javits. Blood washed off my hands. And I pace outside deciding… should I go in? But in the end I decide to go and be distracted by books and reading and panels and fun. Cause when faced with the brevity of life it’s important to embrace what you have…

30 Days of Nerdy Hair-Nerdvember
Day 28: Katniss Everdeen from Hunger Games: Catching Fire Today I woke up late. After a day of eating and eating and games and volleyball and more eating I just couldn’t rally this morning. So I apologize for being a little lax. This is more of an inspiration than a duplication. I did 2 braids…

Review: A Taste of Blood and Wine
It’s becoming a tale as old as time. No… not Beauty and the Beast, but rather, Beauty and the Vamp. You know the one… Girl meets mysterious boy. Girl is resistant at first but becomes mesmerized by mysterious boy’s charms. Boy ends up being the princely undead. Love story ensues. What I liked most about Freda…

Imma nerd for…
Bobby Kennedy I have no grand delusions about the Kennedy’s. Camelot was a myth. There was scheming and dirty deals made. But there is something that enchants me about RFK. (Could be that Kennedy hair.) He was by no means perfect. Men who die young have all the priviledge of being immortalized for deeds not…

Men Who Write
I am a gigantic nerd for all things Jane Austen. Many women are. In a world in which romance is rapidly vanishing, the Austen novels offer up some of the most romantic stories available to humanity! My two very favorite Austen men are Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice and Captain Wentworth from Persuasion. They…

Read This: The Aylesford Skull
If you’re like me, then perhaps you’d heard about the steampunk genre but didn’t know exactly what it was all about. Let me shed some light. Steampunk literature is a mixture of science fiction and fantasy set in the Victorian time period. With that in mind I dove into James P. Blaylock’s ‘Aylesford Skull.’ This…

Clean watching
Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Harry Potter, The Chronices of Narnia, Lord of the Rings… all beloved sci-fi/ fantasy film/tv/books. And every single one almost completely devoid of salacious sex, drugs and harsh cursing. Is there such a thing to be found these days? It is rare to say the least. Sure… there’s the…

10 Things I Love!
So I realized that I spend a lot of my day being pissed off at things in this city. I hate pigeons. I hate slow people. I hate mean people. I hate gross guys that hit on me. I hate wet sidewalks. It’s pretty gross and negative of me! I decided to take action against…
