I’m leaving… on a jet plane! Or actually, I’m sitting on my couch waiting for my brother to get here so we can drive to San Diego.
Stewart will be posting some info from SDCC… I’ll try, but who knows what kind of connection I’ll have.
What am I looking forward to the most? Spending days in the Nerd Mecca. I don’t have a specific thing I want to see… but I’m sure to find many awesome things to come back and share.
I’m already tired though… And ready for a nap.
Due to a last minute ticket, my brother and I are off to SDCC 2013 this week. I posted before about our previous adventures. Hopefully, we’ll have someone here at the site who can do daily wrap-ups (last year, Stewart did a great job. Think he’s up for it this year?).
I have no specific thing that we are going to see… though my brother is putting together a schedule. There are many friends there, though. We’ll definitely spend time in the big room and try to get into Ballroom 20 for some TV panels. And I have an idea for a few posts I’d like to put together. But… is there anything specific YOU’D like me get info on?
I will say that I’m super excited about no Twilight fans this year…
Last week, I wanted to come up with some ideas for beating the heat and still enjoying some nerd fun. Now that I am no longer melting from being on the surface of the sun (read- the central valley), my brain can actually process ideas!
So here’s a few of the things I came up with- Continue reading
I spent this week visiting my family in Central California… I am an idiot. Don’t get me wrong, I love my family- but it’s been blazing hot there! It was 109 almost every day I was home. Soooooo very very hot!
All I could stand to do was watch TV, float in the pool, and run errands early in the day. When I left LA it was supposed to be 90. Which is hot for LA. But when I got home, I appreciated the coolness of that temp! So much more livable!
So while I ponder what things are still fun in the summer heat, first I want to put it out to you- what things do you, my fellow nerds, find to do in the summers? Any places you love to go to beat the heat? Any particular things you do?
I think that I usually hang out at home with DVDs, maybe on the cooler days take a roadtrip with a friend, and I know that I love going to the movies on hot summer days. I’ll be back with a list after I hear back from you.
What about you?
Well… someone asked the other day what some of the things she needed to do to prep for SDCC (her first trip). I thought I’d put together a list of important things to remember when attending a convention but other than my CosPlay rules, I couldn’t find anything. Guess that means I need to write it.
Let’s start with the important things to do when attending a con… Continue reading
No, seriously, I want to talk about spoilers.
I haven’t made it to see Star Trek Into Darkness yet. Nor have I watched any of the last 2 years of Doctor Who. However, due to people not grasping what a spoiler is… I know details that I shouldn’t.
So what is a spoiler? Continue reading
Stewart here… and some spoilers follow in case you asked…
In this installment, I really want to start by taking the time to focus on the squadmates, and if you’re good about it, friends in the Mass Effect series. In this case, just to keep things light, I’ll focus on your squadmates from the first game. Everyone’s got their favorites they want with them on every mission, and I know I feel the same way. Sure I’ll shift them around in necessity of missions, but there are the “go to” squadmates every player of Mass Effect has. The only downside of the whole thing is the greedy part of me that wants to take more than two for my squad.
So, in no particular order, here are my thoughts on your team from the first Mass Effect (with some spoilers as to the whole trilogy): Continue reading
Stewart here…
Every television show has to end. There is no way to really avoid that for many loyal fans, but like many of those fans, I wonder when that time comes, is it too soon or too late. Keeping a show fresh and enjoyable for seasons is no easy task, but with changes in cast and crew, sometimes that task becomes harder to accomplish. Sometimes a show should know, in the immortal words of Kenny Rogers, “when to hold ‘em”, and “when to fold ‘em”. Continue reading
Today I need to share about my fear of Uber Fans.
Well, NEED is probably too strong a word, but… I’ve been thinking about the topic for a wee bit and today seemed like the day to write about it.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, or are new to the site, you are aware that we just celebrated our 1st birthday with a karaoke party. Wait… let me rephrase that- with a karaoke party of AWESOMENESS!
