Originally posted to http://www.diaryofashieldmaiden.com Some days it is hard to remember when I wasn’t struggling to get my Warrior to remember something. Then those days come that I have too many things that need remembering in my head and then I forget. HOW IRONIC. I talk about different ways to help him all the time but…

Why Dracula Untold Is Exciting
In a recent, brief post on summer movies, the subject of the upcoming Dracula Untold came up, and I have to say, I feel like I’m more excited than anyone else about the potential of this film. In fact, I glanced at Coming Soon for a look at the rest of the year to come, and I…
Summer Movies 2014
I was just about to order tickets for Dracula Untold and thought about the movies that we saw this summer: I feel like I enjoyed this summer more than previous ones because the movies were highly entertaining. Interestingly enough, a large majority of them were really trashed with reviewers. That really never impacts how…
What makes a book a classic?
Towards the end of every year I work on my list on intentions. I do this no matter what and I work on those lists all year because, well, I just don’t want to be the kind of person with a larger list of regrets than accomplishments. I know that over the next year, one…
Web Round Up
There is entirely too much going on and I have not had enough time to put any blog up as I intended. I was sidetracked on Easter by a big Twitter jerk from doing the “what the hell is wrong with people” blog so that didn’t happen. I might get back to that as…
Work In Progress
I envy writers that stick to the same genre for their entire career. I don’t know how they do it but it must get annoying after a while trying to only be that one thing. I am not good at that. Some days I am a super nerd, others I am a political activist. Once…
Monster of the Week: Everything in Pacific Rim
I have a long, documented history with monster movies. Also, similar to my mind classifying all martial arts movies into a Kung Fu category, I also lump all scary and awesome creatures into the Monster category. If that irritates you, just stop reading now and don’t feel the urge to send me any hate…
Great Comic Mashup
If you are ever here, you have probably seen my nerdy kitchen or know how much I love Halo (the artist, not the game). When I saw this Kickstarter come across my dash, I immediately went into fan girl mode. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was one of those cartoons much like He-Man, Thundercats and Transformers,…
30 Days and Nights of Literary Abandon!
Okay peeps! How many of you are doing this? This will be my fourth year participating and hopefully my second win! I know life gets in the way and you end up with a messy draft at the end but I can testify to the fact that it is a great accomplishment to finish!…
My Nerdy Kitchen
Living in a 100 year old tiny house is difficult. There is always something breaking, not working or needing updating. While I have advocated down sizing before (and still do) it can pose quite a problem for a cook. There are many things I don’t need in other rooms of the house but the kitchen…
