Our friends from Ventura based Rockabilly band, Hard Six, recently won Best Band at the Ventura County Music Awards. So here’s a little bit of LOVE from us to them…

Do I hear a waltz? Track 4
25 AugIt’s been quite a while since a post focused only music but as the topic of this post has been one of the top albums for several weeks, it’s about time we came back to this series. James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy has spawned a huge following- just this weekend it officially became the highest grossing film of the summer in the US- and at least a tiny part of that has to be attributed to the amazingly fun soundtrack, the Awesome Mix Vol. 1.

Random MARVEL related thought for the day
23 AugI was stressing about coming up for a post for today and thus asked my brother for a topic idea. He reminded me that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has made a big philosophical change from season 1 to 2 as they had originally talked about distancing the show from known Marvel characters. We can see from announced casting spoilers, this isn’t true for season 2. Continue reading
Pondering a cosplay question- does not compute
17 AugI started a training this week for the job I am doing for the next year. One of the topics related to proper dress attire- should be common sense stuff,right? Especially since I am working at a prison. But apparently my institution is fairly lax and there are a lot of questionable things that have been worn inside…
The basic thing is don’t wear the same color as the inmates. And, ladies, remember that men are looking at you as though you are a piece of meat. And they are starving.
Pretty simple, right?
But it got me thinking about cosplay again- something that’s been happening a lot since I started this site. Continue reading
Take a seat- I have something to say about mental illness
13 AugYou will have bad times, but they will always wake you up to the stuff you weren’t paying attention to. ~ Robin Williams
I’m going off book today. I try to keep my real life and NerdLush separate but I think today it’s okay…
Earlier this week we lost a comedic treasure. Robin Williams had been a force of nature throughout my life. I can remember watching Mork & Mindy when I was a wee little one.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Ward… do we love him? Yes, we do.
26 JulAt the end of season 1 of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Char and I were working on a post about why we loved Agent Ward. Even though he was with Hydra and evil. Life happened, the finale aired, and we never finished it.
But it has lingered in the back of my mind ever since.
Ward is evil. He is Hydra. But we still love him. Below is an excerpt from the discussion we had regarding Agent Ward. Continue reading
Television Graveyard- plot 9, SeaQuest DSV
20 JulThings were different back in the 90s…
Sunday night television was actually appropriate for families. Shows didn’t aim to outdo each other by hitting extremes of violence, sex, language or gore. It was a different time.
Kids, in the fall of 1993, NBC premiered a sci-fi series from Steven Spielberg set in the near-ish future where the world was mostly at peace, and man had set out to explore a new frontier… the oceans.
Who are YOU really?
16 JulHave you ever watched a movie/TV show and flipped out because you are so used to seeing that actor as another character? For instance, Princess Diaries 2 pits Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) against Smallville‘s Major Zod (Callum Blue) for the hand of Catwoman (Anne Hathaway). It’s just weird.
I saw a meme a few months ago that hits home with this idea- Continue reading
