I have a confession, a confession that I’m not guilty about at all. I love Romance (note the capital R).
This has always struck me as being kind of weird, considering my reading quirks. I read paranormal romances, but I’m extremely picky about them. I don’t care for many romance (note the lowercase r) tropes. [...]
“Game of Thrones” is popular now that it’s a successful TV series, and I’ve seen that a lot of fans have questions about the backstory. The problem is that going onto the A Song of Ice and Fire websites risks spoiling the many twists and turns of the plot. Since I’ve [...]
Happy Star Wars Day, everyone!
Let’s take a little trip down memory lane on this, the geekiest of days.
I was but a glint in my parents’ eyes when Star Wars came out. I was, however, 6 months and 26 days old when The Empire Strikes Back came out. So… still a bit too young [...]
“Winter is Coming” are the words of House Stark. Winter is here, y’all! I’m so excited about the arrival of Game of Thrones that I can’t make a coherent review. So I shall post a lot of random thoughts!

Dragon Age II was released this past Tuesday, much to my delight. I rushed home and found my pre-ordered copy waiting for me and proceeded to play for about four hours — and well past my bedtime. There’s still a lot of the game left to go, certainly, but I thought I would take some [...]
[Ed: Thanks to Tracy Falbe for this awesome guest post! Uhura is one of TDF's favorite fangirl role models.]
I possess an enduring love of Star Trek. I have no memory of life without it. As a little girl in the 1970s I watched reruns of the Original Series with rapturous pleasure. What girl could [...]
Hi, everyone. You might have noticed that I’ve been a bit quiet for the last week or two, and I’m very sorry about that. My grandmother passed away on February 8th, and I’ve been back in Texas, helping my parents out. WereGeek was wonderful enough to hold down the fort here while I was out [...]
I wasn’t expecting to try to get San Diego Comic Con passes this morning. I was kinda broke, so I just gave up and figured I’d try for a couple of day passes later. Nevermind that I was fully expecting the servers to crash and burn once again.
So when I got an email saying [...]

The Avengers… now with more ass!
This will be a short post since I’ve thrown my neck out or something. But I had to take a moment to register my irritation with the promo material for the upcoming Marvel Studios film The Avengers.
First, there’s this gem:
Let’s see… can you spot the issue here? All the dudes are looking [...]
