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 [...]
I was surprised to find that there was no post about the Temeraire series by fellow-geek-girl Naomi Novik on this blog. It’s about time we had one!
Several months ago, TDF Pamela asked us about “comfort reads”–books we read and reread all the time. I didn’t have an answer for her at the time, but [...]
In PCMag, Will Greenwald explains that “geek culture isn’t dead. It’s just hidden” behind a huge wall that separates what’s considered geeky from the rest of pop culture. Greenwald makes some very interesting points, many of which I’d agree with, but I see a major problem with his article.
Do geeks really need to [...]
Day 6:
It would have been nice to have all the Midgar Parts IN ONE BOX!
Breed Aerith? Sounds like a fanfic idea to me. XD
LOL, really? Breed Aerith to Red XIII? I would think that most biologists would know better than that. XD
Just got captured and now everyone’s in jail. How many [...]
Day 4:
Stuck in the Train Graveyard. Why are these things so wildly confusing?
YOWZA! The pillar’s going to fall now?!
Aw, man. Aerith’s been taken away. Do I smell the scent of a damsel in distress theme?
Day 5:
My mother says: “Barrett doesn’t look like a nice person” and “Their feet are [...]
My first encounter with the Final Fantasy series came when I sat down to watch Advent Children when I was nineteen. Up to that point, I hadn’t even heard of the series. As a consequence, at the ripe old age of twenty-three, I’ve just started playing Final Fantasy VII.
I thought, “Hey! It might [...]
On November 7, people from all over the world come to my hometown of New York City to run in the New York City Marathon. People line the streets the entire route, cheering the runners onward, waving signs and handing out water. Meanwhile, on the internet, thousands more are running a different kind of marathon–NaNoWriMo. [...]

What do you want in a book review?
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 [...]
