An 8-Bit NES Christmas Album
Dec 09You read that headline, and you think, “Sweet Jesus living in heaven high above, is there really such a thing? Could such awesome coolness audacity really exist in the corporeal world? To quote Illinois representative Mel Reynolds, ‘Did I win the Lotto?'”
It exists. It is here. It is wondrous.
Oh Yeah – Yet Another Batman 681 Post
Dec 04
Here’s the truth: There’s no way this issue could have been anything BUT slightly disappointing.
Marvel = Boys, DC = Girls, Me = Wha?
Dec 03As Heidi MacDonald recently pointed out, H&M suddenly has a bunch of pretty slick-looking Catwoman t-shirts in stock. I bought one over the weekend. It’s not the one in the photo — full-body shot instead of a close-up, red instead of white. Still neat.
I noticed, however, a Big Two-related bit of oddity while passing through the men’s section. No DC for the H&M-loving dudes. No Bats, Supes, etc. Instead, they get a selection of Marvel-related tees. I bought my husband a Silver Surfer shirt, wherein Norrin Radd pontificates about something super-philosophical-sounding as he glides through the cosmos.
I’m definitely not complaining — finding unstupid superhero t-shirts cut for the female body is a feat unto itself, and should be celebrated when it actually occurs. But if you’re listening, oh gods of discount trend shopping, how about some Marvel love for the ladies? I’ve been having a recurring dream about finding a girl shirt with the Phoenix logo (green and gold, please) for ages now and it has yet to manifest into reality. I would be willing to pay top dollar (which, in H&M terms, means like $16) for such a shirt!
Giving Thanks

Happy thanksgiving, all you nerds and nerdettes.
I am thankful for my wonderful family and friends, for my fellow Alert Nerd bloggers (also great friends), for this lil’ nerdy community I’m fortunate to share in virtually via Twitter and comments and e-mails, for a decent job, for occasional freelance, for plentiful comic books, for NIMOY, and for Giada De Laurentiis, who better not be leading me foul with her Herbes de Provence and Citrus turkey recipe, or I will lose my shit.

Nov 26So remember that one time, that one time before, when they did that trailer for that one movie, that Star Trek movie, that new one with all the hip kids in it like Abercombie opened an outlet store on Seti Alpha VI?
Well, it’s back. And this time, it’s got the one thing I needed to make it perfect…Nimoy.
