Part #3 of the ongoing NaBloPoMo experiment. Today was pretty grueling. I said good-bye to my uncle for the last time, and I’m pretty wrecked over that. I also had one of those weird conversations with an older relative that let’s you know they’ve finally realized you’re a grown up, too. But I’m not… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #273 – I don’t have a whole lot in me right now.
This post is part of my NaBloPoMo experiment. As always, if you have anything you’d like to see me write about, drop me a line in the comments or at my email. So, there are a couple of problematically obnoxious societal constructs surrounding geekdom and emotion, and they are largely constructed around male geek… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #272 – Geeks and Emotions
Coming to you from my cousin’s couch at 1:00 AM. Actually, I wrote this on the plane out. In addition to November being NaNoWriMo, it is also, apparently, NaBloPoMo, which stands for National Blog Post Month. I’m going to try to do a post here every, day, and I know I’ve already blown the… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #271 – NaBloPoMo Intro Post
Ok, so I finally got a new podcast recorded. I babble about a lot of things, like Geek Girl Con, AmberconNW, my nephew, books, movies, etc… //html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/2529176/height/360/width/640/theme/legacy/direction/no/autoplay/no/autonext/no/thumbnail/yes/preload/no/no_addthis/no/ Also, here’s a shot of the cutest nephew in the world wearing the pumpkin hat my mom knitted for him.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this convention so much!!!!! And this year I got to be a panelist!

We don’t have TV, so thank goodness for Hulu. LOVING IT SO FAR! I admit that the first episode of Agents of SHIELD had the biggest squee factor for me. The second Coulson stepped out of the shadows, I bounced up and down in my seat like a kid. Even the Geek Husband What Rules… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #269 – Agents of SHIELD
OMG!!!!!! No, seriously you guys! I love this book now. Had I read this as a 12 or 13 year old girl, I would probably have read it at least once more since finishing it at 2AM this morning. Disclaimer: I was sent an advance review copy, for free. Also, I am typing this with… Read More Geek Girls Rule #268 – The Department of Cautionary Tales by Katy Stauber
Well, so much for posting every week. Guess who caught the Death Flu last week and spent most of it sleeping in a NyQuil coma? Yes, me. Incredibly, incredibly sick. It was awful. I’m still not completely over it, but I’m giving it a shot. So, part of what I do when I’m sick is… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #267 – What Books Kept You Sane as a Kid/Teenager?
Ok, I’m not on G+ very often, and a lot of the people I follow or who follow me are game designers I don’t know very well, who I’ve “met” peripherally through other game designers. So. there are frequently people on there that I don’t really know how they’re going to take my “raging” feminism.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #266 – Yup, Sexism.
The Geek Nephew What Rules, from here on out to be referred to as “Pavel” (not his real name, but it’s the one I’m sticking him with) was born September 14th, while I was out of state, had forgotten my phone and had no internet. His mother, my younger sister, is doing fine and apparently Pavel… Read More So, um, I’m an Aunt.
