Coming to you from my cousin’s couch at 1:00 AM. Actually, I wrote this on the plane out. In addition to November being NaNoWriMo, it is also, apparently, NaBloPoMo, which stands for National Blog Post Month. I’m going to try to do a post here every, day, and I know I’ve already blown the… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #271 – NaBloPoMo Intro Post
Ok, so I finally got a new podcast recorded.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this convention so much!!!!! And this year I got to be a panelist!

We don’t have TV, so thank goodness for Hulu. LOVING IT SO FAR! I admit that the first episode of Agents of SHIELD had the biggest squee factor for me. The second Coulson stepped out of the shadows, I bounced up and down in my seat like a kid. Even the Geek Husband What Rules… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #269 – Agents of SHIELD
OMG!!!!!! No, seriously you guys! I love this book now. Had I read this as a 12 or 13 year old girl, I would probably have read it at least once more since finishing it at 2AM this morning. Disclaimer: I was sent an advance review copy, for free. Also, I am typing this with… Read More Geek Girls Rule #268 – The Department of Cautionary Tales by Katy Stauber
Well, so much for posting every week. Guess who caught the Death Flu last week and spent most of it sleeping in a NyQuil coma? Yes, me. Incredibly, incredibly sick. It was awful. I’m still not completely over it, but I’m giving it a shot. So, part of what I do when I’m sick is… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #267 – What Books Kept You Sane as a Kid/Teenager?

The Geek Nephew What Rules, from here on out to be referred to as “Pavel” (not his real name, but it’s the one I’m sticking him with) was born September 14th, while I was out of state, had forgotten my phone and had no internet. His mother, my younger sister, is doing fine and apparently Pavel… Read More So, um, I’m an Aunt.
Ok, I’m breaking my no Penny Arcade links for this. And I waited to talk about this so I could really think about what it says, and why we don’t have to accept it. First, about the “apology” strip: “That was a mistake and I apologize to this day for that strip. It was a… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #265 – Yes, Gabe Apologized, But That’s Only a Start
Yes, I know he also named Gene Wolfe. Women still outnumber men on that list. Ok, so it looks like all my fandoms and subcultures are just trying to kill me through high blood pressure induced strokes. First, the fucking Dickwolves, now this. Really? A. I hate genre policing. It’s a bullshit empty past time.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #264 – Lady Writers Getting Their Cooties on SF
