Ever wonder where to get your own Precious? Turns out the One Ring used in this episode is from our friends at Badali Jewelry. It just makes me smile to know that we can each have our own Precious to love and take out only occasionally when we go to the park to re-enact our favorite scenes from the ..read more

My Gramma taught me how to knit, though I’m not very good at it. These patterns are enough to make me pick up my needles again. Cylon Centurion and Starbuck’s Mandala. Pattern direction on the other side of the link.

I’ve never quite had the guts to costume up in public — short of last Halloween’s “Alien” costume — but I have a lot of respect for people who do. It takes guts to go to a convention with spandex, spiky hair, painful accessories and/or any combination of facial appendage.
As a Browncoat, I followed AbbyShot’s loving recreating of Mal’s Browncoat from Firefly, but I never looked to see the other things they’ve got.
AbbyShot has been tinkering with movie-grade clothing replicas for nearly a decade. During that time, they’ve come up with some really cool and shockingly accurate renditions of stuff from a number of science fiction and anime series.
I love ..read more

My fabulous sisters have out done themselves again when it comes to Christmas time/Nerdy Present time. What to give the offspring that has everything? Why, business cards of course – superhero business cards, and badges, and the bane of every superhero – paperwork.
The best part of the evening was when my youngest nephew – who’s name starts with an “S” protested that his name was spelled wrong on his manila envelope, an envelope that read “Top Secret.” Ah, to laugh at youth.
My sister Apryl has templates of all the paperwork for the Superhero Kit on her blog. It’s a good read (my favorite line item - “communications with sea ..read more

Well, look no further. This might be my new favorite thing from ThinkGeek.com. Magic Wand – Programmable TV Remote.
This magical wand learns directly from your current remote control and “maps them to particular magical motions.” For example, waving the wand from side to side will change the channel.
I plan to order it now and then when I eventually have children I will only change the TV volume, channel, etc with this. Just so they know that I really do have magical powers. Mwuahaha. As a side note, I was deceived on a regular basis as a child so I feel good about perpetuating the cycle. For instance, ..read more
