Nerdvember Day 6: Galaxy Quest

Inspiration: Tawny Madison of Galaxy Quest. Components: Red scoop neck. Grey hoodie. Star pennant my mom gave me. (Real diamond in the middle, yo!) And for the hell of it, Star Wars shoes. #Nerdvember Day 6: Never give up! Never surrender!

Nerdvember Day 5: Indiana Jones

Inspiration: Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark Components: White tank top. White button down shirt. Khaki. Brown leather jacket. Keffiyeh-ish hand-woven scarf from Thailand. #Nerdvember Day 5: Indiana Jones. A lazy one. LOL #settostunning A photo posted by oakley boren (@oakmonster) on Nov 11, 2014 at 7:00am PST Challenges: Southern California weather is swinging like a teenage girl’s mood. So, I couldn’t possibly wear the jacket AND the scarf at the same time. But that’s okay though. I don’t want to wear a leather jacket indoor when it’s 90F outside, and the scarf was just perfect to protect me from the...

#Nerdvember: a Creative Challenge

I’ve learned about #Nerdvember from my network of geek girls about a week before Halloween. #NERDVEMBER is a month-long contest we run over on Instagram. Participants are challenged to post a photo of themselves in a geek-themed outfit every single day of November. Outfits can range from something obviously geeky like wearing a Batman shirt or Star Wars leggings, or more vague, like an outfit inspired by a character through the use of a specific color palette. Of course, I’m in. But I’m not in it for the prize. I’m in it because I’m a geek. And I need motivation...

Day 9: Wolverine Doesn’t Care About Calorie Counting

5 Thoughts ….well, screw the five thoughts for today. I have ONE major rant. Whoever said that keeping a food journal and tracking your calorie intake is good for your diet must really and truly hate food, and therefore hate life. I mean, look at me. I have NEVER felt guilty about my food choices or what I eat. For the past few days, I have been anxious and upset over the fact that I’ve exceeded the 1,550 calories per day limit MyFitnessPal had given me. Sure, I gave myself room to be able to go up to 1,773 as...

Day 3: Eating Around A Nerd Adventure

OakMonster.com - Geoff Boucher & Jon Favreau

5 Thoughts I foresee interesting substitution meal and weird scheduling in the future if I don’t start the day with 8 a.m. Breakfast. I’m getting hungry almost to the minute of my schedule now. It’s kind of creepy… I stuck to the schedule quite well considering that I spent half a day running around LA on geeky adventure with my Team Wicket partner Christine. Hooray for Free Comic Book Day! I fucking hate LA. I did exceed the 1,550 calorie allotment by a little bit, but still within the 1550-1773 range. Considered that I was under the limit for the...
