Harry Potter Photo Shoot & Contest
photo Today is my birthday (that’s right, I’m a Groundhog baby) and for the past three years I’ve posted a photo shoot to mark the occasion. In 2012 it was Batgirl. In 2013 it was a superhero character I created named Delilah. Last year it was the Dread Pirate Tracy. This year I FINALLY got my acceptance letter to…

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Reviewed
I’m ready Gandalf, let’s go on an adventure! I really need to stop burning the candle at both ends. I woke up Sunday morning with a horrible sore throat and a pounding headache that is making my head feel like it weighs about 800 lbs. But nothing was going to keep me from seeing The Hobbit:…

San Diego Comic Con, Part 1 – The Panels
I promised detailed blogs about Comic Con and by golly, I aim to keep that promise. There’s just one problem. There’s waaaay too much for just one post. I tried. I’ve gone through approx. 1000 pictures (no joke) and narrowed them down to the best of the best and even then I was left with…

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter reviewed
Let me start off by emphasizing how much I loved the book Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith. Fun, adventurous, perfectly intertwined with historical fact. It was truly brilliant and inspired. Now let me emphasize how much I didn’t like this movie. I almost can’t believe the script was written by my beloved SGS. …

Snow White and the Huntsman reviewed
The previews for Snow White and the Huntsman were gorgeous. People morphing into ravens and shards of obsidian, a T-1000 mirror, Charlize Theron bathing in a vat of white paint. All very cool visuals. So I was super excited to see all of these beautiful shots come together in one stunning example of marvelous movie…

A collection of random thoughts about A Song of Ice and Fire
I finally finished reading Book 5 of the Song of Ice and Fire series by George RR Martin (which took me an abnormally long time compared to books 1-4). As I read and finished each book in the series I wrote down my thoughts. Sometimes they are snippets, sometimes they are discussions I’m having with…

7 Guys Worth Nerdgasaming Over
My sister-in-law and I were at WonderCon on Friday and somehow we got on the topic of “Cheat Sheets.” And no, I’m not talking about the school variety. The “Cheat Sheet” I’m referring to is a list of people you’re allowed to get it on with and your significant other can’t hold it against you. …

Underworld: Awakening Reviewed
If there is one thing I love it’s badass chicks beating the crap out of people, or, in this case, people and Lycans. My friends told me to be honest (most of them thought it was the worst of the four Underworld movies) and it’s true that there was virtually no plot line in Underworld:…

Best Nerdy Cakes Ever
I’m not gonna lie, I’m more of a pie girl than a cake girl…Mmmmmm…rhubarb….but one thing that cake has going for it that pie doesn’t is it’s artistic possibilities. Seriously, you can do ANYTHING with cake. As a Food Network afficianado I know this for a fact. A friend recently sent me a photo of…

The Nerdy Nine – In Memoriam 2011
It’s that time of year again. The time when we pay homage to those who passed away in 2011. Last year I wrote an In Memoriam post that turned out to be very therapeutic for me because I wrote about the loss of my step-dad. It’s been over a year now and I still can’t…
