Christmas has come and sort of gone, and I stand here looking at my spoils. And all I can really think of right now is that I make it much too easy to shop for me.

Really, if it screams geek (or the sports teams I like) you know I will like it no matter what. And I will embrace it. I will wear it and smile at the confusing looks on the faces of those around me.

So its about the point where you are asking yourself what’s all the nonsense about a penis? I know, I know. But patience.

So I just wanted to share with you the highlights.

5 geeky things I did over the holiday

I hope you had a fantastic Christmas. My technosilence was mostly brought on by the arrival of my parents from the Midwest. The holidays were largely spent under the warm comfort of scotch and no fewer than a dozen varieties of holiday treats.

But I’m back, and snuggling in to the equally protective womb of technology that usually envelops me. Despite being fairly distanced from computers for the week, I had plenty of geeky moments to share with you. Five of them:

I didn’t realize how often I use those words as a self-effacing compliment. But every time I mentioned something about “a ..read more

I have a confession.  I love Lifetime movies.  It’s the cheesy, know what’s going to happen, bad dialogue, mediocre acting style of fluff that I can’t say no to.  I’m even more addicted to Christmas Lifetime movies.  I just counted 11 nuggets of Christmas cheese on my DVR and already had to answer the question of “What did you do last night?” with “I watched A Boyfriend for Christmas.” Here’s what I’ve learned, there’s a surprising number of geek show alums in Lifetime’s Christmas lineup.  So, here’s the spray cheese digest for ..read more

A Geek Girl’s Letter To Santa

Dear Santa,

I’ve been a very good geek girl this year.  I didn’t tell my Mom about ALL the art my Dad bought at ComicCon.   I only kissed one geek boy at Dragon this year.  And finally, I’ve brought others into the geek fold.  Most recently my roommate Karen.  I think I’ve convinced her to attend a convention next year.  This all brings me to my Geek Girl Christmas List.  For Christmas I would ..read more

The 80s Christmas gifts that never appeared

For me, the 80s were spent in a most Spielbergian fashion: middle class split-level home in a rolling suburb. Weekends were spent at the mall and summer nights were spent playing flashlight tag throughout the neighborhood.

In the fall, the giant JC Penney and Sears catalogues would arrive, and I’d instantly flump them over to the back pages where the toys awaited my approval. I’d pore over those dozen pages so carefully that the spine was permanently bent to visions of Transformers and Lego sets.

And, while I was usually able to make a pretty respectable haul for a pre-teen, some of the coolest gifts consistently evaded my grasp. Those toys haunt ..read more

Oh, how I want one of these.  They are currently available for pre-order at findmeagift.com for about $95 and will ship Nov27th.  I was going to ask Santa for something useful for Christmas like a clothes steamer or an industrial size cotton candy machine, but a jedi robe may now be at the top of my ..read more
