What makes YOU a geek? What makes YOU sexy?

I'm always curious as to the lives of others and how they relate to me. So, the thought of the day....

What makes YOU sexy? What makes YOU a geek?


For me, I'm obsessed with all things sci-fi and fantasy. I love cosplay. I love living in a fictional world. Sometimes people don't get my jokes or my sense of humor. But, I'm perfectly happy living in my little world. I love it when I meet others who share that same sense.

As far as "sexy" goes....I'm comfortable in my own skin. I am confident and pride myself in my intelligence. That is what sexy is to me. And swords. Swords are sexy. Meet Gwendolyn. I love her so.

Another completely random thought of the night.....who has seen The IT Crowd? Well, I'm a huge fan of the show and can relate to pretty much every single character on there.

Well, almost every character. 

So, in case you were wondering......stop reading now....and go type GOOGLE into Google. But, if it self destructs, I'm blaming you. 

I surely hope you aren't a pirate either. ARGH! Unless there's rum involved. 

So, with that said....leave a message. Share your answers to my questions. Always love to read and respond to comments. 

ARGH! I mean, Cheers,

Numero Dos.......How do you pick and choose with the cosplay greats?

Bloggity bloggity!


Hi everyone! So, as I'm creating my current cosplay masterpiece, I can't help but wonder.....


How do YOU choose who you want to cosplay?

Maybe you choose your favorite character from childhood, someone you resemble, or just pull a name out of a hat?


What is it about your character(s) that make you spend the time and money to recreate them?


Here are a few reasons why I pick who I've picked thus far:


I have a thing for strong female kickass type characters.....

Lara Croft:

Alice:

Lee Loo:

Other things I like to consider when choosing a cosplay:

1. Do I look kind of like that character? (I'm not a huge fan of wigs and not looking as close to a character as possible.)

2. How much work is needed for the costume? (I like instant gratification. And I don't sew.)

3. Is it someone that has been so overdone that I'll likely be the 572nd character at my con? (Insert sexy Supergirl here.)

So, yeah. 

And here's some bits and pieces of my current cosplay creation. Why choose her? She's awesome. I love villains. And my hair is currently red...

I delight in her evilness.....

but currently, I'm just me. 

Who are you currently cosplaying? Who do you really want to cosplay? 

Cheers,

Today, you all get not 1, not 2, but 3 wonderful posts!!!!! Yep you heard that right!


For the first of the day.......


A little home away from home action.......

How many of you live in cubicle land 40+ hours a week? Well, I do. Sometimes it drives me bonkers. But, I've managed to liven up my space a bit.

Thought I'd share my home away from home with you.....

My favorite book in this joint. I'm kinda an expert. ;)

IT GEEK STATUS REPRESENT! Word.

It solves all kinds of problems.

And gives me something to play with while waiting on hold with vendors.

Coveted Monkey Face.

In my spare time, I build Daleks. Shhhh don't tell.

Just a little RAM, for a rainy day.

 Because running from zombies is way more fun than just running.

Umbrella Corporation is trying to buy me off.

I'm still going to blow them up.

And me. I hang out in my cubicle with me. And coffee. and tea. It's a fun time. You should try it.

Until we meet again.

Cheers,

Please stand by...........

A message from my immune system:

Sorry I've been MIA this week. Due to some unforeseen (and frankly, unwanted) illness, I haven't been online much or been able to post.

I will be responding to those of you who've emailed me and will be updating the blog this weekend hopefully.

Please be patient, and I'll be back in a flash!

(In the meantime, I could really use some soup! And tea. Always tea.)

The YouTube black hole.....

Hello Sweeties!

Have you ever found yourself looking for one particular thing on YouTube, only to look up and it's 5 hours later?

Yeah, me too.

In prep for my next vlog appearance, I thought I'd share some of my recent findings....

Jenna Freakin' Marbles! Yep, she's hilarious. 

albinwonderland! This chick cracks me up! 

(This was a great point to beat the FAKEGEEKGIRL stereotype)

BadAss Digest

(Mmmyep. I am an IT, not a chick or a dude, an IT, dammit!)

And yet another reason why I like Karen Gillan! 

(Amy Pond FTW)

Enjoy! Stay tuned tomorrow for my new Vlog! 

Cheers,

.....in other news........

This made me silly happy......

Umbrella Corporation comes to mind. Expensive marketing ploy? Hell yes. 

Alien encounter? Doubtful. 

Read the article here

I have to break out my kick ass gloves....just in case. 

Ready and waiting. Bring it Umbrella Corp! I see through your plan.

How do you cosPLAY?

There are many ways to be part of a con.....

-Some come to watch, lurk in the shadows, in their signature black t-shirt, faded jeans, and chucks.

-Some spends hundreds of hours constructing an exact replica costume from the ground up.

-Some wait until last minute and buy something that "will do" at the local costume shop.

-Some piece their costumes together from other pieces and parts of old costumes, found things, and some        newly aquired items.


I don't sew. Sometimes I really wish I did, but sadly......I have no patience for it. I'm an instant gratification kinda girl.

With that being said......this year, I'm going to be constructing a bit more than normal.

I'm working on a costume that is definitely taking a bit more patience than I'm used to. But, I'm hoping it will be well worth it.

Here's a sneak peek.......can you guess who I will be cosplaying next month?

Here's the beginning. And no....I would never build a corset from scratch. Eep! That scares me just to think about. I'd likely end up taking a baseball bat to the sewing machine. So, we saved the violence and went with an already constructed version. 

More pictures to come soon. So make sure you check back. It's going to be.....shall I say.....Dangerous?! ;)

Now, I'm interested in seeing who you are portraying? Do tell! 

Who is YOUR favorite female cosplay character?   

Here are a couple of mine.....

P.S. Anyone who shows up to a con that I attend dressed as the Doctor will immediately win major bonus points! :)

Home is now behind you, the world ahead...A review of The Hobbit.

The Hobbit!

“Home is behind, the world ahead,

And there are many paths to tread

Through shadows to the edge of night,

Until the stars are all alight.

Then world behind and home ahead,

We'll wander back and home to bed.

Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,

Away shall fade! Away shall fade!”

-J.R.R. Tolkien

Enough said.

I'm sure by now, most of you geeks and geek goddesses have seen the great Tolkien theatrical interpretation that is The Hobbit. I've read it many times as a child, and was over the moon to see it finally come to life in imax 3D! SWOON!

The Good: The graphics and frame work were second to none. The characters and introduction to the world we know and love were gratifying and a gave a sense of comfort ability and excitement. Being given that "AHA" moment in seeing how things came to be in the Lord of the Rings trilogy was what I was looking for.

The Bad: With the new filming style by Peter Jackson, at times the frame work was difficult to watch and I found myself having to remove my 3D glasses once in a while to refocus. I would have liked to have gotten a bit more understanding of who the 13 were in the first, nearly 3 hour, movie. Instead, Jackson only introduced a couple of characters properly. Character connection is important in building a story line and understanding the creators reasoning in having them there.

The Ugly: Okay, I think I've already heard it many time. It was SO long! The first hour was painfully slow. While I understand Jackson's desire to carefully set up the adventure, I feel that an hour was a bit overkill. There were also points in the movie (frequent points) that the camera slowed down, drawing out the scene. It's great for epic effect, but not when used so often.

So, yeah. Overall, I totally dug it. How do I know I fully did? At the end of the movie I was left going "WHAT??? OH COME ON!!!" when the credit began to roll, because I wanted to see what was going to happen next.

**Oh, and Gollum still stole the show!

"We's like to thank the academy, precious..."

And now, we wait. Until the end of the year to see where the journey takes us....

What did YOU think of the movie? 

Cheers,

What are you waiting for? Movies for 2013! Oh, Happy New Year!

So, the question is......

what are YOU most looking forward to seeing in 2013? 

(And lets pretend that item #1 is accurate with 12/25/2012 release date instead)

My list of must see movies: 

Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare

IronMan 3

Star Trek: Into Darkness

Man of Steel

The Wolverine

300:Rise of an Empire

Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters

Riddick

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

If I had to pick just one movie that I'm most looking forward to, it would be a toss up between Man of Steel and Hunger Games. I guess I need to start buying stock in the theater industry. :) 

What's in your list? 

Cheers,
