Like many of you in geekdom, I felt a slight bit of sadness upon hearing the recent news of Leonard Nimoy’s passing. While a lot of his friends, peers, and fans who have met him over the years have laid their own tributes as of this writing, I thought I should talk about how he influenced me. Or in this case, how his iconic performance as Spock influenced me.
Take a trip with This American Journey
24 FebThe first thing you need to know when planning a trip? Where the best diners are. And that is exactly how the route for the cross country trek at the center of Paul Blackthorne’s This American Journey begins. Which tells me that I picked the right film to watch.
But that is the last simple moment of the film- everything after… digs deeper. Continue reading
Stargate SG-1 Minicaps / Season 2, Eps. 1-4

So at the end of season one, we had SG-1 go rogue and end up on one of Apophis’ Goa’uld pyramid ships on its way to Earth. Add to that Skarra is now Apophis’ son, Klorel, and O’Neill having to kill him, the trouble keeps piling up as Apophis and his invasion force are about to start their invasion. So how will this go down for the outmanned and outgunned SG-1? Well, let’s jump into season two and find out… Continue reading
Daytime TV is for the birds!
20 FebI have been sick at home since Wednesday evening… nice to be able to get the rest I need but man, is it boring!

That apparently if you are at home on a weekday watching cartoons, it is apparently because you have a drug abuse problem and you need to go seek treatment at Passages Malibu.
Seriously? Continue reading
Guest Post!!~ Geek Mom Raising a Geek Baby
16 FebNerdLush friend, Jackie, is back with another guest post– this time she returns to the topic of raising a baby in a world of geek.
********************************************************************
I’ve attempted to write this piece for several months now. It first started out as a piece on my experience taking a toddler to the Chicago Comic Con back in August.

Stargate SG-1 Minicaps / Season 1, Eps. 15-18
8 FebStewart here…
What’s there to really recap from last time? The team has learned a lot of new things about Teal’c (surprise, he killed a lot of people under Apophis’ orders) and about how Goa’ulds reproduce (basically its like normal sex, but instead of a baby, its a tub full of larvae). Let’s see where this next round of minicaps takes us… Continue reading
