TheatreNerds are for life!

5 Dec

The other day, Emily and I were driving through California on our way home from an adventure, listening to my favorite XM station (72, the Broadway station). I enjoy singing along or playing the guessing game (where I try and figure out what year the show/performance is from) and thankfully, Emily also enjoys the station- since I tortured her with it all weekend. 😉 Continue reading

When worlds collide…

27 Nov

As I was sitting at my moms this past weekend, watching the NCIS marathon on USA (as one would…), I was occasionally flipping over to Twitter to get the latest info (it’s better than wasting time trying to get info from online news sites) and discovered that Wil Wheaton was spending the afternoon cleaning out or going through old boxes in his garage.

Twinkies may be gone, but comics go on forever

23 Nov

Sitting in my moms dining room listening to friends I haven’t seen in a decade (at least) chat on the phone to other friends, while my brother hides in his office watching Bond (other friends have just heading out to the mountains to see another eccentric friend of theirs)… welcome to the holidays.

Oh Captain, My Captain… Take a Seat and I’ll Explain My Adoration for Scott Bakula

5 Nov

So it’s quite obvious if you read back thru my posts that I basically have no shame.  I mean… one of my earliest posts shared that I grew up crushing on Wil Wheaton and Marc Singer– who, by the way, could not be more different. And let’s not forget that in order to celebrate our success, I threw a costumed karaoke party. Shameless. Alright, probably not as shameless as my friend Jacqui– ask her, she’ll tell you she has absolutely no shame. Continue reading

SCIENCE ~ an argument stopper.

Once Upon a Bechdel Test

16 Oct

Sometimes feminism amuses me. Don’t get me wrong- I’m ENTIRELY about fighting the man and breaking glass ceilings and stuff but sometimes it just gets silly. I recently just discovered a little thing called the Bechdel Test.

Awesome t-shirt tutorial!

10 Oct

I saw this on the I Fucking Love Science facebook page and had to keep it for myself- you just never know when you need a galaxy t-shirt! However, I couldn’t just keep it quiet… so… I’m sharing it with y’all!

For the record… it appears the original came from szmoon.net Continue reading

Nerd Party For the Mother Effing Win!

2 Oct

So… a wee bit ago, we at NerdLush celebrated six months of nerdery with a costumed karaoke party with friends and fans. I admit to being a wee bit nervous before the event… I mean, this is LA! People RSVP for things here all the time (and then don’t show up!) (or the opposite-show up without an RSVP). And up til the actual party night- after arriving at the venue- there was that little whisper saying I should be ready with “It’s my party, I’ll cry if I want to”… but then… everyone (plus more awesome people) showed up. And sang. And had costumes. And laughed. And had fun. And it was AWESOME.

The only thing that made me sad is that Stewart wasn’t able to be there with us. 😦 Continue reading

SPAM! It’s What’s For Dinner!

30 Sep

I am amused by SPAM. I monitor the site comments pretty well and delete/block any and all bits of SPAM that appear. But sometimes… they make me laugh. So I decided that I really wanted to hang on to the comments while tossing what makes them SPAM.

I give you a new page on the site- Our Favorite SPAM. I’ll update it as I find entertaining SPAM.

FRINGE-y Things To Know — A FRINGE Primer

26 Sep

Stewart here…

First off, a big announcement: I’ll be recapping the final season of FRINGE exclusively here on NerdLush!  I’ll be keeping these recaps a little more informal than my usual reviews on A&V Stimuli, so expect them to start on September 29th, after the season premiere airs a day before.  Also, I’ll be covering HOMELAND and THE WALKING DEAD on my site this fall, so please check that out as well.  SO, with that out of way… Continue reading
