Last night I went with a friend to see a screening of the new Rachel McAdams movie, About Time (in theaters on November 8th). It was not what I expected. It was so much more. I honestly loved it. I’m not saying it was oscar caliber or anything- it’s rom com inside a dramedy; but it’s sweet and touching and funny and heartfelt. I loved it.
But it made me wonder- If you could… would you? Continue reading
The other day was our NerdLush Halloween Extravanganza. The evening ended at midnight as I turned into a pumpkin who had to be up at 6am for classes (on a Sunday). Of course, my plan for getting a few hours of sleep was derailed by the Epic Dance Party © that happened in the street from 1 to 2am (that’d be when the cops I called came to break it up and turn off the horrific club beat “music” they’d been blasting into the night). So I’m too tired to come up with a proper post. Continue reading
Today’s the day.
At 8pm tonight, NerdLush, and friends, will gather at Soop Sok Karaoke in Los Angeles for a night of silly ridiculous fun. With costumes. And karaoke. And PRIZES!
We will celebrate the birthday of my bestie and one of NerdLush’s own- DeeDee! (Happy Birthday Lady!!! Love You!!!!)
We will sing and laugh and make merry.
We hope you will join us for some merrymaking!
Also, I hear we’ll be visited by Stewart in spirit, Scanners style.
I’ve often been asked by people who don’t use any form of Social Media as to what the point of it is. This got me thinking as to just how powerful a tool it could be, so I thought about my own experiences with Twitter and how just one tweet from Wil Wheaton 18 months ago changed the entire direction of my life.

So… it’s one of those months. There is both too much and too little to post on. And I’m completely swamped. My brain is too tired to come up with a topic for today and sadly, I’m out of backlogged and scheduled posts.
It’s been a while since I did a music post though, and I’d really like to do another. Continue reading
I’m back with the final piece to my Karl Urban obsession. Just checking but… you’ve read 1, 2, 3, and 4, right? Well, then… let’s just dive in, shall we? Continue reading
Well, it’s been a few months since our last shindig and Halloween is one of our favorite times of year… put those two bits together and BOOM! you have NerdLush Halloween Extravaganza!
OCTOBER 19th!!! 8PM!!!
We’ll be doing the costumed karaoke thing. Again. I think it’s our thing… who cares, though- it’s a lot of fun.
We’ll also be celebrating the birthday of one of the crew (weird how this seems to keep happening)- Dee2.
We’ll have a costume contest, a karaoke contest, and snackies! Probably a cake or something too… it’s what we do!
The venue is a lot of fun and has free parking! No cover! But drinks and food at the venue are on YOU!
where? Soop Sok!
Drop a line to RSVP as space is limited- comment here, on the Facebook invite, on twitter, or send us an email! Whatever! Bring a friend!
Never been to a NerdLush party? Well… check out our first one and also our birthday party back in April!
Very excited to announce (though I mentioned it the other day on the twitter page) that NerdLush will be attending Stan Lee’s Comikaze 2013 and the 2013 Long Beach Comic Con this fall. We’ve attended Comikaze the last two years, but this’ll be our first time at LBCC.
So I have two questions- check the guest lists, who should we talk to? And what other SoCal events should we try to make it to?
Okay, I’ll admit I’m extremely late to the party. Heck, Stu’s already written up a page! But, I wouldn’t be the Casual Gamer if I didn’t have an Overly Delayed Video Game Review for you! (EDIT: This entry has been sitting as a draft for months. Sorry Nerdlush, maybe I need to change this to Overly Delayed Post For Overly Delayed Video Game Review…) Continue reading
This is probably the last significant post we’ll do about SDCC 2013, but I wanted to do a personal round up of my time there. Last year’s post still gets regular hits, so for some reason this sort of thing is of interest.
