J has been offered a prestigious position at a new company. 🙂 You don’t know how stinkin’ proud I am — he always busts his behind at work to provide for our family, and he is finally being recognized for his dedication and hard work. He gave his two weeks notice yesterday, and will be […]
Claire has been a big fan of pop-up books since she has been able to reach for, and grab at objects. And as soon as she turned 1, she began a love affair with books of all kind (just like her mama) and finally stopped ripping out pages or ruining the pop-up mechanisms. I too, […]
The praise I receive most from readers of this blog is regarding my honesty. How I am not afraid to tell it like it is. And while I must confess that I have shared some nitty gritty details of motherhood and parenthood (and gotten in trouble for it in the past), I have found myself […]
This one’s a doozy! Illustrator Matt Cowan has created a cool piece of geek art titled “Heroic Table of the Elements,” where superheroes and villains from the DC and Marvel universe are displayed in the style of the periodic table of elements. You can tell that a lot of thought went into compiling the chart — the […]
I love the melding of pop culture and fine art. I especially have a fondness for art that features my favorite fictional characters — whether from books, television, or movies. For instance, my 3-year wedding anniversary will always hold a special place in my heart because J took me to catch South Park‘s 15th Anniversary […]
One of the most frustrating factors in dealing with depression — at least for me — is finding the best medication (or combination of meds) for yourself. Back in my early twenties, I had tried various meds before finding the combination that worked best for me: Prozac and Wellbutrin. This time around, since it had […]
Sorry for the lack of posts as of late. Just as Claire got better from her cold, I caught it…and managed to pass it on to Aerin as well. 🙁 The good news? J’s parents gave me some Chinese cough medicine that made me feel infinitely better. Only when I looked at the label did I […]
So this was announced yesterday: (image source) As someone who vastly prefers physical keyboards to those on touchscreens, I can’t help but show some interest in the new Microsoft Surface. And as much as J and I love Apple computers, we aren’t fans of iOS due to its restrictive platform. Both of us own Android […]
Artist Cynthia Rodgers has created a reinterpretation of Picasso’s Guernica, featuring none other than our favorite mutants — the X-Men! Can you identify them all? This piece was submitted to the Comic Book Resources contest The Line Is Drawn, where contributors were asked to imagine radical re-designs for classic comic book characters. Be sure to head on over to the […]

I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
