Geeky Stuff I Bought This Weekend

In addition to the usual haul of comic books, I also got this stuff:

Awesome movie. I've seen it already, so I listened to 2 of the audio commentaries first. The only thing geekier than the Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg commentary is the Edgar Wright and Quentin Tarantino commentary. The Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg commentary talks about how Wright would direct Pegg to "Marvelize" his performance by exaggerating his eyebrows like a Ditko drawing and references Norman Osborne's widow's peak. I now have a crush on Edgar Wright.

Can you believe I did not have a copy of this on DVD? Clearly, my life was incomplete and that needed to be rectified.
I mostly bought this for Ollie, but the Ultra Humanite was an added bonus. I love him on JLU. The Supergirl figure is kind of lame though.

Isn't that the cutest little Cyclops you ever did see? I seem to be building up a collection of Cyclops figures. When I was looking for this picture, I found that there's a set with Wolverine and Phoenix. I have no interest in owning a Wolverine figure, but since they never seem to make Marvel Girl figures, I need the Phoenix one. It would make the perfect mascot for my car.

This is my favorite though:

She's so pretty. It was right above the Buffy comics in the shop and I just couldn't resist. Sometimes I think the guys at the comic book shop do that to me on purpose. I haven't decided whether or not to take her out of the box yet. (Yes, I do do that on occasion.)

Geektress

I haven't mentioned this before, but one of the reasons for the increasing lack of posting is that my time has been occupied by another project. Some friends and I have decided to start a website. It hasn't officially launched yet, but it should be soon. It's called Geektress and the whole point is that it's just a bunch of girls writing about geek stuff, and it's only girls, just because we thought that might be cool. Anyway, the site may not be launched yet, but we decided kick things off with our very own podcast.

We're still getting the hang of all this, so if you listen, be kind. We're beginners. In the first episode, we mostly talk about Wonder Woman #14, with a little bit of discussion about James Marsters in Dragon Ball Z and In Like Flint. Brenda, Rania and myself had a lot of fun, so we hope that others have fun listening to us, and if anyone's got any helpful advice or constructive criticism, we're open to it. (Yes, we have already discover that we say "like" a lot and just generally sound like 1980s Valley Girls.)
