The Usual Archive

It seems our little subculture is torn on The Big Bang Theory (the show, not the actual theory. We’re all agreed on the actual theory). We aren’t sure if it’s laughing at us, or with us. And people are firmly either in the love it or hate it camp. There seems to

I’m not super girly, or so I’ve been told. Personally I think I’m very girly. I’m just not that into fashion (related, is this circuitboard dress too much?). I’m not sure if it comes down to being the only girl in the neighborhood, being immersed in geek culture in middle and high school,  or

There are now “90s nights” at clubs around town (I’ve seen the flyers, they gave me a sad). ModCloth now has a 90s section listed along with the 20s, 40s, and 50s. And walking around various department stores has shown me they aren’t the only ones cashing in on the 90s trend. Which

Tumblr has a tendency to blow up over things that aren’t really important. Lately, that thing has been “Trends Men Hate.” Basically it’s just a list of things that some guy finds unattractive. Which whatever, people are allowed to find certain things unattractive. Plus, it kind of reminds me of the “fashion

It may not seem like it right now for most of the country, but spring IS coming. And spring means Spring Roll, my favorite derby event of the year. Spring Roll is a yearly derby tournament hosted by the Fort Wayne Derby Girls that features several men’s bouts. And since I’ve made

While Carrie Bradshaw ascribed thoughts of karma to the fortune cookie school of psychology, I’ve always been a big believer that you get what you give. It’s been the driver behind everything I’ve done, and I’m starting to wonder- is life really a boomerang? Is there really a driving force that brings

I have problems tracking all the things I want to read, play, and watch. Which seems like it shouldn’t be that big of a problem, until it’s Saturday night and my husband and I are playing the verbal Ping-Pong of “no, what do you want to watch.” It’s extra frustrating when you
