Completely Crushable: Coco's Nerd Loves

by cocodevaux 11 weeks ago

Oh Geek(ette)s. You’ll have to excuse my absence last week. I was so overcome by this Nerd Love double header, that I was paralyzed with pleasure.

Completely Crushable: Coco’s Nerd Loves

Long before sci-fi spectacles like Heroes or The Faculty, some Buffy-featured baby butch stole my heart.

*gasp* YES! She was, literally, magical. (And, maybe also the devil's spawn?)

Right? I didn't like the dark twist they gave her character at the end. Seemed like it was a cheap/failed grasp for season 3 renewal. Thinking about her is making me want to watch the first season again, though...

Why fly amidst the stars when you can take to the seas in a Deep Submergence Vehicle? Yeah, the next nerd love I have to share is none other than seaQuest DSV’s resident computer prodigy and teenage heart throb. So let’s, uh, dive right in.

Completely Crushable: Coco’s Nerd Loves

by cocodevaux 16 weeks ago

You guys, last week was special. I told you my crush, you squealed, and we hugged it out sleepover style. My wallflower days may be long behind me, but all this pent up twee teen tenderness has got to go somewhere. So, what do you say? Another round of “I’ll tell you mine, if you tell me yours”?

~~Captain Jean Luc Picard~~

Captain of my Heart

A man who IS (he and I talk) an excellent leader and listener, compasionate, quotes philosophy, will, no doubt, buy awesome wine, a gentleman, regal as a beagle, and. and. and. SWOON~

Having lived in an apartment full of lesbionas, I will have to concur with your 2/3 Kate Moennig theory. There was a wall of posters behind the telly where all the The L Word box sets were on proud display. Miss Moennig is bigger than I thought...

Once upon a time I was a socially awkward teen (maybe you relate). My best friends were band geeks, my diary, and Jesus. On the occasion of this holiday of love, let's crack open my Lisa Frank confessional and review which popculture hero(ine)s made me drool.

a+e 4ever (and ever, amen)

by cocodevaux 18 weeks ago

I reached through the interwebs to ask author Ilike (pr. Ah-lee-key) Merey a few questions about his 2012 Stonewall Book Award honoree, a+e 4ever. He was kind and enthusiastic enough to respond promptly, despite the six hour difference in Munich.

I've been watching "Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes" and Luke Cage makes an appearance. It was really awkward, and that episode just came about a year ago.

Eesh! I hope Luke and the other Heroes for Hire are being paid a competitive wage, at least.

Talking Spit & Passion

by cocodevaux 26 weeks ago

A couple of months ago I sort of attacked Cristy Road at a Bluestockings bookstore reading. I mean, how could I not? I’d recently read her illustrated memoirs Indestructible & Bad Habits and couldn’t contain that wonderful/embarrassing "Oh my god. She read all my diaries." feeling.
