I’m not sure whether to go for more of a Yellow Wallpaper or Captive Cat flavor here. But I have a job that I can do from home. I have remote access. And, yeah… My kid sister is now laid off, well, “on stand-by” so she can get unemployment while they wait and see if… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #646 – Day 3 of my Confinement…

Literally, BleedingCool and Comic Book News are the only two places discussing this after the initial splash. And no matter how often I block Bleeding Cool, they keep showing up on my Google feed when I open the browser. Seriously. I keep hitting “NOT THIS PAGE!” But, there it is. Sigh.

It was fun, very much in the vein of popcorn and beer “thriller” that… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #642 – Life Inside a Michael Crichton Novel
Ok, so we finished watching the rest of the Harley Quinn series on DC Unlimited.

Hey, yeah, there’s been a lot of heavy thinking going on over here. and I kind of got it on you guys. I have a new things to talk about about but I don’t know that any of them merit an entire post. I kept seeing an article come up on my feed, or several… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #639 – Now with Less Morbidity…
Yeah, unsurprising after last week’s adventures, my mind turns to mortality, and what happens to our collections of nerd treasure when we die?
