(Originally posted at Media Gauntlet) Why, yes, I am a masochist, thank you for noticing. After the resultant foo-for-all that came up after my “women in comics” post, which in turn resulted in my forming my own damn Livejournal community to discuss comics (women_n_comics at livejournal.com ), I’m almost afraid to keep discussing them. Even my bitchy,… Read More The Geek Girl What Rules’ Greatest Hits – #10 Comic Book Obsessions

It’s not as incoherent as I’m making it out to be.  I did drink too much vodka.  Who would have thought Kagome made such a great mixer? Go to the Podcast. Anyway, I talk about GoPlayNW and all the fun I had there, including the most awesome game of Don’t Rest Your Head I’ve played… Read More Geek Girls Rule! Podcast #5 – I drink too much vodka and talk about geeky stuff

In spite of the fact that my last little temper tantrum about 9 Chickweed Lane may have cost me a friendship, here I go again.  I feel I need to state again, that I actually enjoyed 9 Chickweed Lane until very recently, a lot.  That’s why I read it.  I generally don’t continue to subject… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #48 – 9 Chickweed Lane, again

I feel like I need to apologize in advance for the sheer chaos of this podcast.  But it was a lot of fun to record, although maddening to edit.  And believe it or not, I DID edit.  I hope you guys enjoy it!!! http://sirriamnicast.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=346323

So, in response to a meme I got this question from a friend, and I thought of two ways to take this question: 1. Why are you a Geek Girl (Grrl)? 2. Why are you so aggressive about being a Geek Grrl (Girl)? I thought about it for awhile, and could not decide which way… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #47 – Why all the Geek Grrling?

Well, the State of the Geek Girl What Rules has definitely improved.  I’m still coughing, but the end is in sight.  I did wind up on the losing end of a horrid spider bite, but antibiotics seem to be doing the trick.  One way or another, the job situation will be improving. What else have… Read More Wow, it’s been a while, huh?

Wherein we discuss the ridiculous ways in which comic and gaming artists depict breasts, and the physics behind having fairly enormous breast (two girls in the group are H-cups).  We also talk about Mr. Tweet and his ludicrous statements about women and gaming, and comics that we like. http://sirriamnicast.libsyn.com Thanks for listening !!!

Yes, I admit it.  I’m a giggler.  I giggle.  A lot.  I’m an easy crack up.  Ok, not as easy as Jimmy Fallon on Saturday Night Live, but still pretty easy.  This can be a problem when I’m trying to play super serious characters, which is something I tend towards because I like playing against… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #46 – Playing a Serious Character When… You’re not.

What makes a Geek a Geek? Lots of things, yes, I know. But there is one characteristic that I’ve noticed in myself and the majority of my geeky friends that I think is kind of a defining trait of geekdom: Research. Seriously, whether a Geek is a Geek for only one subject/genre or many, Geeks… Read More The Geek Girl What Rules’ Greatest Hits – #9 The Nature of Being Geek
