It may be $20 more, but frak me those $20 are worth not waiting in line for three to four hours. ..read more

DragonCon, that is. After not sleeping at all and heading to the airport at an unearthly hour, checking a bag that weighed exactly 50 lbs, declining to bump to an 11:30 pm flight, I am now in a giant security line waiting.

On a side note, it was my now completed Clara costume that resulted in not sleeping. Don’t worry, pictures to come. ..read more

My Day As A Guild Extra

9:53 pm

A few months back I was taking a break at work when I saw a twitter from the guild asking for volunteers to be extras for the 4th Season.  I believe I twittered back something along the lines of “heck yeah!”  Anyways, a week or two later I was sitting in a restaurant before dawn with Codex, Fawkes and Vork, Zaboo, and Zaboo’s mom, who instinctively I felt like I should behave around her, like visiting a high school friend’s house and meeting their parents.  I have an active imagination and if someone shoots lighting on tv I give them wide berth in real life.

After the shoot Felicia came to our table ..read more

Whew!  I’ve been doing a lot of vacationing, but I’m back now…I’m good again…wait…my roommate just finished Season 7 of Buffy, so the Buffy quotes slip in all the time and I picked up more that a few things in Hawaii.  But I’m back to posting as I get ready for DragonCon.   The last two weeks in Hawaii were fan-frakking-tastic.  I may have had shave ice everyday, sometimes twice.  Therefore I am in need of +5 CHA Community which is geared towards geeks supporting geeks as we endeavor to be healthy, lose weight, and/or gain muscle.  The movement was started at GenCon and is gaining members quickly.

Check it out!  +5CHA

How Geeks Name Their Pets

Autumn

It’s no surprise that the geeks of the world name their pets geeky names.  That is, after all, one of the biggest reasons of getting a pet, besides, you know, companionship, stress relief, love of fluffy things. 

I could blame my family.  Maybe I have a chip on my shoulder cause my mom let my sister name me after her friend’s dog (I don’t, I think it’s awesome, so whatever a reverse chip on the should is). 

 We named our Cocker Spaniel Lady.  My brother had a cockatiel named Gumby.  I had hamsters named Buffy and Xander.  And then there was my rat named after an actress ..read more

Jane Austen Violence

6:30 pm

So I’m finally reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, and, as on the nose as that title sounds, it should really be called Pride and Prejudice and Zombie and Kung Fu, because Lizzie, in this version of the classic tale, has been trained in the orient.  Having expected blunderbuss’ and cannons and having received katanas and ninjas, I must say it’s taking me out of the story more than the zombies are, simply because I was completely not expecting that. 

It has, however, totally put me in the mood to watch the 6 hour version the BBC made forevs ago.  Other things that put me in the mood to watch Jane Austen ..read more

Twittering At Last

Yes, I finally opened a Twitter account.  Mainly so I can send updates live during Comic-Con rather then sending them through Josh to post for me.  (Thanks again Josh)  So, if you’d like to be in on my Comic-Con shenanigans among other things, then follow me. ..read more

I have girl arms and I’m going to answer this call.  I tried reading ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ while on vacation.  I kept hearing how everyone loved it.  I made it through the Eat portion and then wondered, “Why the hell am I reading this?!  I don’t give a frak that you had an orgasm over a pizza in Naples.”  I threw the book from my floating raft across the pool to scrape along the deck and hit a lounge chair.   (Sorry roommate for returning your book unread, water logged, and gouged with pool deck ..read more
