Posted on June 5, 2014 by

Oh Comicpalooza. I know it’s been over for two weeks now, but I kind of feel like my recap in the last post didn’t do it justice. It was lazily written and it only served to recap what I did, … Continue reading →

Comicpalooza 2014: The recap!

Posted on May 29, 2014 by

COMICPALOOZA! This was my second time going to Comicpalooza and I still stand by my belief that it’s easily one of the most fun geek-cons out there. If there’s one thing I’ve learned about geek-cons, it’s that bigger does NOT … Continue reading →

This little piggy went to market: Showin’ some crochet love to Revival Market

Posted on June 14, 2012 by

Confession: I’m probably one of the least “green” eaters you’ll find. Maybe it’s because I don’t have enough cooking prowess to justify paying premium for organic/local food if I’m going to screw it up, and maybe it’s in the interest … Continue reading →
