I admit it, I’ve been letting myself recover from one of the best trips of my life. I powered through to have articles publish when I was gone, but now that I’m home I’ve been letting myself just slowly wake up from the dream that is New Zealand. A proper post on the trip will [...]

Not too long ago, I was having a conversation about books with a coworker of mine who is only a few years younger than me. When I started talking about the Harry Potter series, he told me that he'd read the books up to a point but then stopped because it "wasn't cool" to read them. Instead of working myself up into my usual storm of righteous indignation about something I like not being considered cool, my first thought was, You poor guy. You poor, poor thing.
On Harry Potter, and the end.

Born For Geekdom: The Ravings of a Fangirl: Ashley Eckstein: Why "Her Universe" is More Than Star Wars Shirts
On June 12th, I stood in a long autograph line like I have many times before. It was the last day of Star Wars Weekends at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando, Florida and I had come prepared to meet Ashley Eckstein in the merchandise tent "Jabba's Hut." I had interviewed Ashley a couple weeks before about her company " Her Universe ". I thought that meeting Eckstein, the voice of "Asoka Tano" in the animated Star Wars show "The Clone Wars" for a photo op might make a great ending to the story.
I was recently asked to help spread the word about GeekGirlCon . As a geek, a girl, and rabid convention fan, obviously this is right up my alley. Of course, the powers that be then decided to host it in Seattle - a location which couldn't possibly be farther away from me and still remain in the continental U.S. - and I'm really trying not to take that personally. But, I digress. The convention isn't until October, but I'm telling you now because this is their very first year, and they're looking for people to get involved any way they can.

Andrea proved just how badass and awesome she is: perfect head shots, saving Carol, running from the herd for a full day, steadily taking out any walkers who got too close. Go ahead, Lori. I dare you to question her worth again.
When I sat down tonight I intended to write about my experiences with the Game of Thrones food truck last week and meeting George R. R. Martin.

Hey, everyone! It's been a while. Constantly busy writing for The Mary Sue .My kids tend to find a comic or series of books they really like and then immerse themselves in it until every book is done. Recently, I received the first two graphic novels in the Fangbone! series by Michael Rex. I left them on the counter so they'd see them after school and patiently waited for them to notice. The 8-year-old saw them first and after a quick glance, claimed first dibs.

Bear with me on this. It'll ramble. But I swear, I have a point. ;-) Unless you've been under a rock, you're somewhat up to speed on the Rush Limbaugh/Sandra Fluke story.There have been a lot of words spilled about LEGO’s controversial Friends line, designed, according to the company, as an attempt to pull in the girl demographic to the construction toy. A reasoning that rang jarringly to observers who pointed out that the company in fact had a completely gender neutral toy, that they had once marketed in that way, but for the past couple of decades had marketed it exclusively to boys, rarely building any female figurines for use with its sets or featuring any girls playing with the toys in their ads . Despite that, many women who grew up during those decades have fond memories of playing with LEGOS. It seemed like a change in overall product wasn’t so much warranted as a change in how it was marketed. On top of that, the Friends toys that LEGO actually produced smacked of stereotypical representations of femininity and the marketing de-emphasized the construction capabilities of the toys in favor of emphasizing those aspects.
