I need to start off this review by stating that I’ve known Mr. Bodewell, the curator of Sepiachord for a very long time. He is a good friend.

Two great tastes that taste great together! So, for a while, the Geek Husband What Rules has been going to a local venue where bands play in someone’s living room.

I decided my first several days of actually accomplishing things at work deserved a reward, and for that reward I chose a bottle of my new (and only) favorite wine, Cetamura Chianti. I’m not a wine drinker… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #131 – When the Misogyny Gets Me
“The Lodger” is another fun episode of Doctor Who. Matt Smith is rather deft at the comedy bits. Also, the trailer for part one of the two-part season finale is awesome. Spoilers abound, of course. With only two episodes left in the season, here are some of my thoughts so far. I shared some of… Read More Doctor Who: The Season So Far
Screw Bill Willingham. Apparently at a convention, he said, “I wanted to gun down those girls who kept asking about the memorial case.” This is in reference to Project Girl Wonder, which is a fan request that Stephanie Brown, the one female Robin, get a memorial case in the Bat Cave, like all the male… Read More On a more annoying note…
