Ok, so when they asked me to review this, my hopes were not high. One writer (Adam Slutsky) lists rags like Maxim and Stuff as his notable writing credits. The other writer (Joseph Phillip Illidge) has worked for DC, his bio says on some Batman titles, but I’m having trouble turning up which runs specifically.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #50 – Comic Review: Ayre Force
(Originally posted on Media Gauntlet) Yup, it’s comics again. Well, my gaming life has been going pretty well. I like all my games, haven’t had to fire any players, finally got my all-girl game scheduled for this month. But, DAMN, the comics thing keeps getting my knickers in a wad. The WSJ on girls reading… Read More The Geek Girls What Rules Greatest Hits – #12 Girls and Comics
(Originally posted at Media Gauntlet) Get their obsession wrong. It’s a joke I first heard from a stand-up comedian. He was talking about driving by the lines for Star Wars: Episode I and yelling “Star Trek sucks!” just to watch the fans’ heads explode. I laughed. Because it’s true. And just recently I demonstrated to myself once again how… Read More The Geek Girl What Rules’ Greatest Hits – #11 How to Piss off a Geek
(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
Yes, I know. I SAID I didn’t need another hobby. I SAID I wasn’t going to get all excited about anything else until I’d finished a few more projects. I know what I SAID. What I did is pick up Voluptuous Panic: The erotic world of Weimar Berlin by Mel Gordon and become utterly enraptured… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #49 – My New Obsession and My Angry Feminist Rant
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!

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?
