I love to look at those lists that they give to professors that explain the state of the matriculating freshman class. You know what I’m talking about? The ones that say things like, “They have never lived in a world where Madonna wasn’t famous.” Naturally, I look at my daughter and wonder what kind of […]
Continue ReadingThe city was completely closed off from 14th street and below. If your license didn’t have an address that placed you below 14th Street, you were not passing the armed guards. To this day, I make sure my address on my driver’s license is always up to date. There were people who were unable to […]
Continue ReadingAs I write this, it’s another hot friday night in Los Angeles, my husband is out of town and that can only mean one thing: I am partying like a fool! When I say “partying like a fool,” of course I mean, noodling around on the internet, tweaking photos in Aperture, ripping DVDs to my […]
Continue ReadingI don’t have cats, but it doesn’t mean I can’t like these Star Trek Cat Trees…
Continue ReadingWe’re getting ready to head to Seattle in a week or so. It’s only a couple of hours on the plane, but I always like to have a few tricks up my sleeve to keep Vivienne entertained. So I’m in the market for some new apps to play with. Whenever I do a little refresh […]
Continue ReadingThis made me laugh. Game of Thrones in 16-Bit. WARNING: Do NOT watch this if you have not seen Game of Thrones. Major SPOILERS! Here it is: OH WAIT – ONE MORE WARNING! Lots of sexy bits, just like Game of Thrones. Possibly NSFW, definitely not safe for children – it’s for mature audiences just […]
Continue ReadingNothing, and I mean, NOTHING makes me RAGE harder than having my “gold time” frittered away by some nonsense. No, I don’t mean “gold time” in the sense of working more than 10 hours – I’m talking about a mother’s precious gold time. NAP TIME. I have a window of time to get things done, […]
Continue ReadingFantastic round up of the cosplayers at Comic Con this year – all of them lipdubbing Lady GaGa’s “Born this Way.”
Continue ReadingWell – at least IMO. This is one of the most beautiful costumes I have ever seen. Fellow Geek Mom, Melissa over at Bonny Glen, was there with me to witness it – and when she posted a picture of it on her blog, she got a response from one of the women who […]
Continue ReadingWell, hi. I’m the OTHER geek mom who went to SDCC this year and I guess you can call me “the quiet one.” I couldn’t write a post to save my life. That’s because Comic-Con, as a stand alone event, is already a whirlwind of awesome and adrenaline WITHOUT a 22 month old in tow. […]
Continue ReadingSo, I’m not heading down to Comic-Con until early, EARLY tomorrow morning. Seriously early. Gotta beat traffic and get there in time for the Attack of the Show! panel at 10 a.m.! That’s how I’m kicking off SDCC 2011 this year – but back here in L.A., I’m already so excited and jazzed up for […]
Continue ReadingA friend of mine just sent me a link to a marvelous photography blog. I’m enchanted with these self-portraits of Natsumi Hayashi- who always photographs herself levitating. That’s right, let me say that again – these are SELF-PORTRAITS! After years of following the Adventures of the Dancing Kids, I guess I’m a sucker for […]
Continue ReadingThere’s still time left to vote for your favorite Star Wars Fan Film over at the 2011 Star Wars Fan Movie Challenge ! You have until July 14th to cast your vote, and the winners will be announced at the San Diego Comic-Con later this month! Back in 2009, Olivia Munn asked me to write […]

Angel Does Stuff RELATED: This is Brilliant. ALSO RELATED: I can’t stop laughing at this blog. Thanks to @lizlet for pointing me […]
Continue ReadingMany moons ago, I used to have a little baking company called “Princess Yum Yum.” I’m using the term “company” loosely. It was me and an oven. I would make birthday cakes, wedding cakes, shower favors, home made candies and lots of other goodies, and I made some nice cash doing it. I stopped because […]
Continue ReadingOne day, I was shopping with my friend in Little Tokyo, when I came upon some super funky stickers. I showed them to her and then put them back, commenting, “I never really understood what you are supposed to do with stickers.” Without missing a beat, she responded, “Kristen. You put them in your sticker […]
Continue ReadingI am LOVING this 70’s style movie poster for Portal 2. Might even pick one up when it’s finally for sale in the Valve Store. It’ll go nicely with my Aperture Parking Permit, which I have been quietly sporting on my car for a couple of years now. What do you think… totally awesome for […]
Continue ReadingOne of the many nice things about working for G4 is traveling. Thanks to Attack of the Show and Ninja Warrior, my husband and I have been to Japan quite a few times – and this October we took our daughter (then 13 months) with us. Tokyo with a toddler in tow was just incredible. We met people […]
Continue ReadingLast week I talked about my obsession with love for cameras. In my post, I confessed to usually having around 3-4 cameras on my person at all times, one of which is my iPhone. Well guess what? Technically, the many photography apps available on iTunes transform the iPhone into SEVERAL cameras. I’m really not trying […]
Continue ReadingAnyone familiar with me knows that I have a camera on my person at all times. If you see me walking down the street, I have a camera. I’m here, therefore I shoot. Wait. My first post for GeekMom and I’ve told a lie. The truth is that I’m usually carrying anywhere from 3 to […]
