In lieu of any real postings, because nothing is pissing me off overly much except that my teenaged years were FAR too recent to be retro thank you very much, you get a post on my musical tastes, apart from Adam Ant. Some of you may have noticed the inclusion of the NerdCore category on… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #115 – What’s on a Geek’s MP3 player?
A friend of the Geek Girl What Rules, Dmitri of Tormented Artifacts (link to be found along the right side of the page) has created this absolutely brilliant card deck. The images are all steampunky, Cthulhu-esque and just gorgeous. He had initially thought he’d sell just a couple and print them up at home, since… Read More Promotion post
Several years ago I discovered Adam-Ant.net, the official Adam Ant website, which is not run by him but by fans. Which is totally cool. I’ve been an huge Adam Ant fan since the early 80s, pretty much from the first I had ever laid eyes on him via MTV and Nickelodeon’s Saturday Night Concert series. … Read More Geek Girls Rule #114 – On Being Authentic
Ok, if I were to make Forgotten Fiction a regular feature here, would you, my readers, be interested in nominating books for me to read? The caveat here is, I have to either own them, or be able to pick them up on the cheap. You can either respond here, on the Facebook entry that… Read More A Proposition for all of you.
The Wild Hunt comes out this year, and I, for one, will be skipping it. A friend of mine posted the trailer in his Livejournal, and I’m sure if you really want to you could track it down. The tagline for the movie is “It’s no longer a game.” Yes, you guessed it, a Medieval… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #113 – The Wild Hunt… Are you kidding?
I really don’t have a whole lot to say about Golden Dreams. I enjoy it. It makes me tear up in the right places, and laugh out loud where it should. Ardath Mayhar captures the essence of Fuzzies very well, although there are a few inconsistencies. For one, she has all Fuzzies aware of the… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #112.9 – Golden Dreams by Ardath Mayhar
I just finished Fuzzy Bones, and started Golden Dreams, so you’ll get my analysis of that one, too, as soon as I finish it. Ace contracted William Tuning to write Fuzzy Bones to either coincide with, or ride the success of, the re-release of the first two Piper books. I find it sort of … Read More Geek Girls Rule! #112.75 – Fuzzy Bones by William Tuning
Ok, I don’t know how forgotten the Little Fuzzy (Little Fuzzy, Fuzzy Sapiens, Fuzzies and Other People) books actually are. But I’m one of the few people I know who has read them. H. Beam Piper wrote them in the early 60s shortly before committing suicide. The first two books, Little Fuzzy and Fuzzy Sapiens saw… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #112 – Forgotten Fiction 1 – H.

Via the blog Jezebel, I found a link to a year old article by Carrie Fisher in the Daily Mail, essentially a synopsis of her life to that point. I strongly recommend reading it. I’ve also added her blog to the blogroll on the right hand side of the page. It did remind me that… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #111 – I wanted to be Princess Leia
THIS has got to be some frat boy console-gamer* doucheface’s idea of a joke, right? Tell me it is, because seriously, this is one of the biggest pieces of bullshit I’ve seen in ages. The article claims the Microsoft is planning a way to link your gaming avatar’s appearance and access to facets of certain… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #110 – This has got to be a joke, right?
