She's now not using that degree to work as a project manager for a mobile app company. She reads voraciously, loves geeky movies and tv shows, reads comic books as long as she's not pissed off at Marvel, and when she's procrastinating, she enjoys playing video games.

Why hello there, blog.
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a grad student. I’m working on my MA in English, and the fall semester started three weeks ago.
Hi, I’m drowning in work. On top of reading a metric crapton of material for three classes (Teaching Composition, Film Theory, and Tolkien), I’m also editing my department’s literary journal this year. Add to that my work as a graduate assistant, the other departmental stuff I have to do, and attempting to have a social life, and the most I’ve done online lately is post to Twitter.
[sigh]
Anyone want to pay me to read books full-time so I can quit school and make it through my To Be Read stack? :D
Speaking of reading, I’ve created a list of my “Read in 2008″ books here on Ye Olde Blogge. For posterity. And geek cred.
Speaking of geek cred, I’m going to get a great birthday present this year. The Dallas Sci-Fi Expo/Star Wars Fan Day falls on my birthday, and OH MY SWEET LORD BRUCE CAMPBELL IS GOING TO BE THERE ON SATURDAY AND THAT’S MY BIRTHDAY AND IT’S BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE! [faints] Jewel Staite is going to be there, too, which would bring my total of Firefly alum met up to two. :D I am so excited, guys. I’m planning out a costume, but I’m kind of torn. I could do Inara Serra really easily, with the garb that I have from ren faires, but I really, really want to go as Lara Croft. So I’m hunting for some leg holsters… yes, I am an enormous dork.
