30 Days of Nerdy Hair
Day 18: Padme Amidala from Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones I know, I know. You’re thinking ‘she calls herself the Nerd in the City and she chooses hair from the prequels?’ But have no fear, Leia is still on the way. And guess what, whatever the prequels are to you, they still…

I Like It and I Don’t Care What You Think!
Here’s the thing… I like Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Spike TV was having a marathon last weekend… as usual. And possibly in lieu of the 30th anniversary of Return of the Jedi. And sure… it’s a weak installment in the canon and I could write a list of things that didn’t work…
30th anniversary, bad ass, Clone Wars, Costumes, Darth Maul, Darth Vader, Episode I, Episode VII, extended universe, foreshadowing, Jedi counsel, John Williams, marathon, original trilogy, prequels, Qui-Gon Jinn, Return of the Jedi, Spike TV, Star Wars, Star Wars Christmas Special, the Phantom Menace -

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…

You Gotta Read This…
John Scalzi’s ‘Old Man’s War’ series At Comic Con this past October, as I passed the TOR publishing booth, I happened to stop by to see if there was any Ender’s Game swag. (I love to show my support to my faves, and I l-l-love Ender’s Game.) I asked at the booth and the lady…

30 Days of Nerdy Hair
Bonus Day 2 – Princess Leia Ok, here it is. The one I’m sure you’ve all been wondering if I’d do or not. I just have to say… it’s called 30 Days of Nerdy Hair. Would it really be complete without the buns? Oh ye of little faith. 🙂 So… today’s inspiration is a fanboys…

30 Days of Nerdy Hair
Day 18 – Princes Leia Today’s inspiration comes from the original icon of geekery. The girl all little girls born after 1977 wanted to be. Princess Leia Organa (from any of the original Star Wars trilogy.) And I know you expected the buns, but I always liked her hair from Return of the Jedi, while she…
