My son is obsessed with AT-ATs. The other week he asked me an AT-AT shirt, so like any (newly) Star Wars loving mom, I was happy to oblige. Naturally everywhere I looked online didn't have them in his size. The next day, I happened to stumble upon this amazingly perfect shirt while shopping in … [Read more...]

A Little Late to the Party: I Love Star Wars
I realize I'm about as late to the party as I could be, but thanks be to the geeky gods and my insistent friends, I now love Star Wars. My road to Star Wars love didn't start out so pretty.

Too Cool for School – Blog Awards

I Read My First Comic: Why I Love Fables
I'm pretty sure in my 30 years of existence, I've never once read a comic. If I did as a young kid, it obviously wasn't memorable as I can't recall. While at Barnes and Noble last week buying something nerdy, I also decided to have a peek at the comic/graphic novel area. I had no clue what I was … [Read more...]
Enlist me with the Browncoats – I Love Firefly
So I realize I'm over a decade late to the party, but I just finished the series Firely and I absolutely loved it. This was my first time watching a space-related series and it was better than I expected. I'll admit I was a little lost in the pilot episode as there was no intro on Netflix. Why was … [Read more...]
