MoviesGeek Girl Navigating the World for BSCKids – Godzilla!
The sticky-hot, bright days of summer have just started to unfold and nothing screams summer more loudly than a movie featuring giant monsters destroying a metropolis. When I was little, Godzilla movies were mostly seen late at night on a tiny TV screen when a local network affiliate didn’t have anything else...

BooksGeek Girl Navigating the World for BSCKids – Paper Toy-Palooza
While I may not talk about it much, I like making things. I sew, I write, I draw, I paint, there’s a whole list of things that I do creatively. One of my favorite types of crafting projects is papercrafting. The projects are usually inexpensive and there are a wealth of resources...

MoviesGeek Girl Navigating the World for BSCKids-Sequel! Sequel! Sequel! Muppets Most Wanted
When it comes to the Muppets, I have very fond memories. I was a “Sesame Street” kid. I had seen “The Great Muppet Caper” and “The Muppets take Manhattan” in the theater. “Muppet Treasure Island” was still a Muppet movie and I did think it was funny, but it made me wonder...

MoviesGeek Girl Navigating the World-the Lego Movie Everything IS Awesome
I feel kind of embarrassed to admit that after being bombarded with ads in theaters and on TV that I found myself wanting to go see ‘The Lego Movie.” It was the worst kind of sugar-frosted, kung-fu action grip, Super Saturday fever binge induced “I want that” to get pushed into my...

MoviesGeek Girl Navigating the World for BSCKids- Can Disney’s New Movie Freeze Out “The Nut Job”?
It’s winter again and chances are cabin fever is settling in to your house. With any luck, and weather permitting, you might be able to venture out and catch a movie or two. It seems like family movies take a back seat to the serious awards-type movies during this time of year....

MoviesGeek Girl Navigating the World – You Can Never Be Too Prepared for Next Thanksgiving
When I was a tiny, little starry-eyed sprocket, Thanksgiving was practically another holiday entirely. Mom and I got up before dawn and started working on a meal big enough to feed my entire family and everyone they decided to bring along with them. There was no such thing as an RSVP in...

BooksGeek Girl Navigating the World-All Hallow’s Read
It all started with Neil Gaiman. That seems like it should be the best beginning for a story in some kind of neo-Lovecraftian anthology. He wrote a blog post in 2010 suggesting that during the week of Halloween people should give each other scary books or comics. All Hallow’s Read has since...

BooksGeek Girl Navigating the World for BSCKids – Some Thoughts for the Geeklings out There
Yesterday, I was treated like a stupid girl. I’m still fuming about it. It’s not just because I know that I’m not a stupid girl, it’s because the person who did it was a male co-worker who has known me for almost ten years. He’s probably twenty years my senior and has...

MoviesGeek Girl Navigating the World for BSCKids – Mom Made Me A Geek, Too!
I think my mom has kind of gotten a raw deal in my columns. This isn’t because I don’t love her or don’t get along with her or something. She’d just asked, when I started doing this, that I keep her out of it. I’d thought she’d meant keeping her out of...

MoviesGeek Girl Navigating the World: Despicable Me 2 vs. Monsters University
Making sequels means making money, or, at least that’s how Hollywood seems to operate these days. In some cases (like the Avengers) this is true. In other cases, it’s a gamble at best. Both “Despicable Me 2” and “Monsters University” were pretty much guaranteed to be hits this summer. If nothing else,...

MoviesGeek Girl Navigating the World – First Look at Man of Steel
Wal-Mart stores offered a special screening of “Man of Steel” to anyone able to purchase tickets the day before it saw general theater release. I’m very happy to say that I managed to score one of those tickets and, so, was sitting in a dark movie theater at 7 PM to watch...

TV ShowsGeek Girl Navigating the World for BSCKids – The Value of Looney Tunes
When I was a starry-eyed little sprocket, we had one television in our house. If I wanted to watch something, I was going to be watching it with my parents. If I wanted to play a video game, I was going to be playing it on that same TV. From cartoons to...

BooksGeek Girl Navigating the World- Preparing for Free Comic Book Day
One of my favorite days of the year is coming up next week. On Saturday, May the Fourth (Star Wars Day, too!), it will be Free Comic Book Day. Participating local comic book stores will be hosting events and giving out special editions of a variety of comics, all for the effort...
