Hottie of the Week: Tom Hiddleston

It's impossible not to find someone this nice and funny and talented attractive. It's just impossible. Plus, the eyes. Seriously. This is a man who roleplays with fans on Twitter, and nothing is sexier than being awesome to your fans.

Another NaNo Twist


Alright, my NaNo novel has changed again. That's the point of planning, right? Instead of the true crime/fantasy hybrid I'd originally envisioned (it's still on the backburner, don't worry), I'm going to plunge into a novel that started as a piece of fan fiction. Actually, this will be a book set in that universe but not based off of what's already been written. I'm hoping to use this to shape and re-shape some aspects of the universe to fit where I want it to go.

So get ready for sexy vampires. Particularly sexy male vampires. Sorry, straight dudes, there won't be much for you in this one. I'm also trying to goad my husband into writing this November as well, though so far no success in persuading him. He keeps throwing out all these great ideas and not writing them down - hopefully we can change that this year!

So how is your NaNo progress? Any plotting done?

Hottie of the Week: Lea Michele

I won't watch the Glee ep "The Quarterback" until tonight. But right now I can't help feeling that Lea Michele is in need of all the good vibes she can get. So today? She's my hottie of the week. And good LORD is she a hottie. Seriously, can you see this?

It's Not Actually That Ironic

Proudly showing off my Clarissa Explains it all in front of my Jonathan Brandis pin-ups and Star Trek poster.
A couple of things: liking things is not ironic. Also? I don't hate hipsters. I actually like a lot of hipster music, covet many of their clothes, and think some of them have the most EPIC hair ever. But back to the real point - ironic liking of things. It's not a thing. It isn't. If you like something, you like it. Stop pretending you're liking it ironically. Just ENJOY it. With that in mind, here's me through the years letting my geek flag fly. Share your geekiest photos too! I want to see 'em.


With braces and my friend Meggan while wearing a Star Wars shirt that I still own and wear.


Dressed as Dr. Horrible with my hubby as Captain Hammer & some excellent Doctors.

Me as Eleven with another cosplayer as Four.

In middle school with a flannel shirt and ghostbusters t-shirt. I am both grunge and geek. Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

It's NaNoWriMo Prep Time

Write Back Soon

The time has come again - it's almost National Novel Writing Month! I'm thinking, I'm prepping, and I'm trying to make myself decide exactly which novel I'll be diving into for the month. I succeeded last time and actually hit my 50k words, so I'm anxious to do it again. It was my first NaNo victory. I want MORE! How many of you will be participating? We can start a blog-based support group right here.

Hottie of the Week: Hugh Dancy


Alright, I might as well make it a matched set, so to follow up on last week's Hannibal-related obsessing on my part, we've got Will Graham himself. Well, one of the Will Grahams. The hottest one (apologies to Billy Peterson, who got much hotter as he aged). I'm also including a bonus picture of him and Mads together because it's yummy.
