Sadly this is not an April Fool’s Joke. I just didn’t realize what the date was when I scheduled it. Ok, so we’ve all seen Akira, right? I mean, it is kind of considered one of the really important works of anime, along with Macross, Gundam, or Ghost in the Shell. Akira takes place in… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #162 – The Whitewashing of an Icon
Ok, so there’s this young adult anthology scheduled to come out fairly soon. The theme of this anthology is dark romance, the name Wicked Pretty Things, and the cover blurb included author Melissa Marr’s name as an example of the sort of thing one could expect in the anthology. Then one of the authors, Jessica… Read More Geek Girls Rule #161 – Reading a Gay Character Won’t Make You Gay
You may have noticed I finally got around to posting the “Donate” buttons over there on the right. Well, as much as this place is a labor of love and all, it does cost me something to keep it going, and if you guys like reading my rants, reviews and wishful thinking here, and listening… Read More Geek Girls Announcements!
Wherein you get to hear me sputter incoherently over Scott Adams, whine about writer’s block, be enraged over the whitewashing of Akira, talk about the winners of the tattoo contest, announce the new “Geeks are Generous” contest, celebrate getting the new Erickson and McGuire books and mispronounce things because I finished recording around one in… Read More Geek Girls Rule!

Ok, so you may have heard that Scott Adams of Dilbert fame opened up his big old mouth, and slipped a foot into it.

Ok, after many delays due to illness and drunkeness, I have the winner and two runners-up for the Geekiest Tattoo contest. The results were hotly contested, as we weighed geekiness of entry, skill of tattoo artist, and wide-based nerd appeal. The over all winner of the The Guild DVDs is: Jess Sides with her Werewolf… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #159 – Winner of the Geekiest Tattoo Contest.
I spend a fair amount of time trying to figure out what to blog about, since a large portion of my time is taken up with actual work and I do not get to live in my geeky little world 24/7. Believe me, this is a bitter, bitter disappointment to me, and I do what… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #158 – Echo Bazaar by Fail Better Games
I talk about the tattoo contest, Seanan McGuire. Go listen.
A finishing school for geeks. For those of you who did not grow up reading victorian literature for fun, finishing schools (which still exist, I found out) are schools that teach young ladies the finer points of etiquette and proper behavior. Yeah, I’d probably flunk out, if they didn’t run screaming from my tattooed freak… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #157 – Sometimes I Want to Open a Finishing School
Well, I’m coming off the plague, otherwise known as Deth Flu. I’m still coughing my lungs out, constantly, but I’m no longer fevery and stuff. However, while confined to my couch, I watched a lot of stuff. First up, The Unusuals. This ABC series was cancelled mid-season, and I know why. It’s because it’s funny,… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #156 – State of the Geek Girl What Rules
