So, in the eternal quest to get the migraines to take a hike, I’ve been exploring options for reading ebooks. And I was messing around on the Amazon site, poking at Kindles. I asked the Martian if I could borrow his to see how it played with the migraines. To give it a shot I… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #572 – Review: Midnight Riot (Rivers of London Bk 1) – Ben Aaronovitch
So, the TV in the Geek Husband What Rules’s and my bedroom was dying a slow death. It had been my dad’s bedroom TV before we got it from my folks 6 years ago. They had been moving to Houston and the decision to leave it behind was last minute, and the remote had already… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #566 – New TV and Binge-Watching
Ok, I know that a fair number of you will attempt to argue that this is not a nerdy movie. And I am ashamed of you. Music nerds are also nerds, says the woman who plays/has played two instruments, keeps trying to pick up two more, and has fronted a punk band. Seriously, if I… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #564 – Review: Rocketman
Ok, so I was wrong. I misunderstood the wikipedia entry, there is no movie after episode 20. The movie encompasses episodes 18, 19, 20 or Weirdmageddon. There is, however, a graphic novel that follows the series. And I now own it. And a copy of Journal 3, and Dipper and Mabel’s Guid to Mystery and… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #563 – Gravity Falls the Last Episode (S2, E20)
So, the Geek Husband What Rules and I continue to watch Gravity Falls, and we just finished Season 2, Episode 19. Holy shit, that got dark!!!! I totally get why my friend Meera was all, “Strap in!” And as we are one episode from the end, expect another post. We are totally getting the entire… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #562 – Holy Shit, that got Dark.
First, Wednesday May 1st was my 25th Wedding Anniversary, and Sunday May 5th was my *mumble mumble* birthday. So, if this is less coherent than normal, blame it on old age. Anyway, I’ve been trying to ignore or pretend that a lot of the jokes about Thor in this movie didn’t exist. And I should… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #560 – Endgame’s Treatment of Thor
So I went and saw Avengers: Endgame on Monday night because several people told me that I’d likely enjoy it. And yes, in the moment, I enjoyed it a lot. It’s well-paced, beautifully shot, the effects are well done. And it doesn’t really give you any time to think about anything until it’s over. So… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #559 -Review: Do you want Multiverses? Because this is how we get Multiverses.
I call this a non-review because I made it less than five minutes before the gratuitous and immediately poorly handled rape as backstory to make a female character badass in the episode “Sonny’s Edge” made me turn it the fuck off. Seriously. I’d heard some mediocre to good things, and also some bad reviews. My… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #558 – Non-Review – Love, Death, & Robots
Sorry about last week. The Migraine Fairy arrived Wednesday night and hung out through Saturday morning. Whee. I hate her. Anyway, between that and a work conference Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, this week is going to be a little chaotic and I apologize. I’ll try to make it up to you guys. And on to the… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #554 – Gravity Falls
Ok, I liked Venom. I LOVED SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDERVERSE. The animation style was incredible, the voice acting superb, and the story was fantastic. This is another one I missed in the theater because of migraines, and man I wish I’d seen it on the big screen, however, I also suspect the migraine from that… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #552 – Review – Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse
