I think the sexy Halloween costume phenomenon has entered a Sexy Event Horizon wherein “sexy” is spaghettifying into “satire”. (That’s probably not how event horizon and spaghettification work, but this topic makes me want to use smart words).

Sometimes amidst stuff like the hoopla of Apple TV, the proposed CW adaptation of Sandman, and the puppy throwing girl, we could stand to get an outside perspective of just how tiny all that really is.

In what is probably the coolest news I’ve read this week, we’re about to start looking for the mirror universe via the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (which totally sounds like a supervillain’s doomsday device).

I’m not sure which is more confusing – the concept of Chewbacca Pink as a color in fashion or the fact that fashion has interpreted Chewbacca as black and white stripes with mangey patches of pink fur.

One of the things I miss most about my college years are those time at Denny’s at 4AM when we got into drawn out, geeky conversations. At my age, I get the impression that I’m supposed to have grown out of that, but I still like those conversations. It’s just impossible to engage anyone in my offline life in that sort of thing. Everyone wants to talk about their episiotomies, but no one wants to talk the Doctor.

I read recently that the European Space Agency is planning a Doomsday Ark on the Moon. The ark would be initially be a data bank with DNA sequences and instructions for labor tasks like planting crops – stuff most of us have no idea how to perform in our current consumerist state of existence.

Sometimes we talk about dudes at Pink Raygun. Sometimes we even talk about them in a non-objectifying ways. That’s because we understand that men aren’t just pieces of meat that look great in leather pants or loosely wrapped towels. They have media imagery to struggle with, as well, and it looks like comic book heroes aren’t projecting the best image of masculinity.

The first person to ever call me a geek or a nerd was Barbara, my kindergarten nemesis, at the DOD school in the Azores. She singled me out for special torture every day of kindergarten, usually hurling one or the other of those words along with it.

I’ve been having a bit of an existential crisis of geek lately. My geek-out response has been subdued, to say the least: Wonder Woman’s new costume, the casting of Kevin Bacon as an X-Men villain, seeing Ryan Reynolds all dolled up as the Green Lantern. . . these are all things that, normally, I would have gushed over at least a little and they garnered no response from me.

I’m on vacation this week and part of vacation means planning ahead for content. But, I waited till the last minute and am quickly running out of time before I have to leave for the train. So, here are some gratuitous photos of hot dudes to entertain you.

In what was probably the most bizarre moment of Elena Kagan’s confirmation hearing, she was asked to weigh in on the pressing issue of Edward vs. Jacob.

The more I read about the oil spill and the effects it may have, the more I feel it’s necessary to start sewing my apocalypse wardrobe. It’s the kind of atmosphere that has me eying leather goods at the thrift shop. Luckily, I’ve seen enough post-apocalyptic movies to get a sense of what I can expect and what I need to know.

It looks like my scientist/musician/superhero fantasies will have to settle for Kevin Costner, who may be the closest to a real live Buckaroo Banzai that we’re ever going to get.

With the exception of True Blood and The Fabulous Beekman Boys on Planet Green, there’s not much that interests me on television this summer. That means this geek girl has a lot of time on her hands. What the hell am I going to do?

Recent reviews have called Sex and the City 2 dated, but I beg to differ. SATC2 has switched genres – it’s now firmly in the realm of fantasy, right up there with Lord of the Rings and The Neverending Story.

One their website, the PTC argues that clean, non-offensive, toddler friendly nightly network content is a right because the public owns the airwaves. The airwaves may belong to the public, but the public doesn’t have a right to quality programming. If we did, Lost wouldn’t have a magic golden cave, Sylar would have stayed dead, and Pushing Daisies would still be on the air, along with Journeyman (damn you, NBC).
