Geek-style Brunch

OakMonster Hangout

I might have just done one of the geekiest things so far. A few Saturdays ago, I joined a tweet up tequila brunch via Google+ Hangout. Flash back about a year or so ago when Annette/@dananner, being the instigator of all things social media, introduced me to a very small group of tweeps who get up with the birds to go to work. Our little group  greet each other daily at the crack of dawn.  And once in a while we’d joke about having tequila for breakfast. So I said, how about we all meet up for a tequila brunch?...

Getting All “Doctor” Up

Obviously, we’re a Halloween household. I usually start planning the costumes earlier in the year. Some year, we don’t have to do too much. Some year, we’d go all out.

About that Slave Leia PSA…

The Nerd Machine Slave Leia PSA I'm kind of in

So, that Nerd Machine’s Slave Leia PSA I participated in finally came out. Did you see me? Don’t watch it again. Because you won’t see me…unless you know where to look. My Slave Leia is absolutely not in the picture, I can tell you that much. My Jawa outfit, however, is. Pause at 0:48. See Gigi/Chun Li’s talking to somebody? And that shadow behind Lauren’s Wonder Woman and the white spot on the floor behind her (might I add, fine) tush? That, my friend, is the left side of me covered in my Jedi/Jawa robe. And the white spot on...
