Irrelevant But Awesome

As we slowly get the introductions out of the way, I'm Claire. I'm mostly interested in the Movie/TV aspects of nerd/geek culture. I'm a big fan of a number of franchises and consider myself a member of a number of fandoms. At the moment I'm watching alot of Star Trek: The Next Generation and getting involved in the mythology of that series. Of the series currently on air, I'm adore Doctor Who. I'm just dripping my toes into comics/graphic novels to try and keep my literacy up. Neil Gaiman's Sandman series is a good introduction to comics for anyone looking to try. As my fellow Awesome-ites know I'm also a very interested in the social and cultural politics of being girl nerd/geeks and geek/nerds of marginal status. I tend to interject feminist analysis in everything I do, especially in a culture still so dominated by traditionally male concepts and ideas. With that said.

So this is what blogging is like, huh? I've not done anything like this since the days of xanga... Anyone remember the good ol' days? Anywho, I suppose I should introduce myself. I am Waffle.

Last week's episode was a little better. The action was a little sparse but Ahsoka's new outfit more than made up for it. She looks like more of a respectable character and less of a skank. She's still annoying but it...

At long, long last there is a layout up! It's looking pretty spiffy, if I do say so myself. It combines a wide range of our collective interests, so if you see something in the header you like, stick around to read some posts. I suppose I should introduce myself. I'm Megan, and I'll probably be blogging about fashion, crafting, cosplay, anime, and other nerdy things when I feel the drive to do so. I'll also be doing a lot of graphic stuff and general layout upkeep around here. If anything looks crazy or doesn't quite work, just let me know!
