Nicole’s 2015 Resolutions

It’s the start of another new year and tradition dictates that we come up with ways we want to improve ourselves in the coming year. Some argue that waiting until a specific day is silly, and that we should strive to better ourselves continuously. I understand where they’re coming from, but taking

Why Don’t Women Like X?

I see the “why don’t women like this too” question come up in enthusiast forums/blogs. I appreciate the thought, I really do. It takes a lot of self-awareness look around and say “we’re missing a significant part of the population here, what can we do to fix it.” That being said, I

10 Days Or Whatever Of Kwanzaa: Day ‘Or Whatever’

Well, this was certainly unexpected.  I received another gift in the mail from Cards Against Humanity on Saturday.  I thought maybe I counted wrong, and this was the 10th gift they sent, but after double-checking, this is definitely the 11th gift from them, which I am deeming the “Or Whatever” gift. I’ve

App Review: Brain Trainers

Any kind of gaming is good for your brain. Sudoku, Candy Crush, the latest AAA blockbuster, they’re all based in problem solving and working through them helps keep your brain active (to varying degrees of course). Lately though, there’s been a new subset of games that are designed to maximize this benefit

10 Days Or Whatever Of Kwanzaa Days 4-7

It’s been a week, since my original post about 10 Days Or Whatever Of Kwanzaa, and I have received 4 more gifts, taking me up to day 7.  It’s interesting considering that holidaybullshit.com only has up to day 5 posted.  Without further ado, here are the contents of these packages: Day 5: The Ghost

Review: Tyranny of Dragons

I don’t know what you guys do on your Friday nights, but here in Awesometown, we play games. We’re not picky on the type of games- board, video, tabletop, reindeer. (Especially reindeer.) Right now we’re at the beginning of a new Dungeons and Dragons campaign and I couldn’t be more excited. Buddy

Cereal Review: Chocolate Toast Crunch

For my money, Cinnamon Toast Crunch has always been the pinnacle of breakfast cereal perfection.  It’s great in milk.  It’s great dry.  The last bits at the bottom of the bowl that have gotten soggy are amazing.  The cinnamon-flavored milk when you’re done is the taste of victory (of a not so
