Now that I’ve spent a month in New York City, specifically Brooklyn, I’ve adjusted enough to process the biggest mundane shocks for me. Everyone jaywalks. In Seattle, I’ve seen multiple people being stopped by bicycle cops and given tickets for jaywalking where there are absolutely no cars around. Here in NYC, if you’re able to […]

Small Victories (Part 1)
posted by tspofnutmeg
By: Meg Humphrey I spend too much time focusing on my big and grand long term goals that sometimes (okay, most of the time) I don’t appreciate the small things that happen that are just as worthwhile and satisfying as hitting 220 pounds on the deadlift. Here are some of those small victory moments. […]

5 Fandom Friday: Fandom Deaths I Just Can’t Even
posted by tspofnutmeg
By: Meg Humphrey Intense emotional investment in fictional characters is nothing new for those deep in fandom. A little piece of us goes with every character that was important to us and we mourn them as we would a flesh and blood friend. These are the deaths that my heart will never heal from. Dr. […]

posted by tspofnutmeg
By: Meg Humphrey If you’re home sick from work on a Monday and/or are in the mood to have some feelings about a silly romance anime, Sukitte Ii na yo, or Say “I Love You” is the perfect medicine. The show is only 13 episodes long so if you’re dedicated, have nothing to do, or […]

Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation
posted by tspofnutmeg
By: Meg Humphrey THIS DOES CONTAIN SOME SPOILERS!! I remember blowing through the first three Mission: Impossible movies before Ghost Protocol came out. They were alright – it was nice to see the famous scenes within context – but I didn’t have a strong desire to keep up with the franchise. Ghost Protocol changed that. […]

Meg-chan in Wonderland: Why I Revert to a Weeboo When Distressed
posted by tspofnutmeg
By: Meg Humphrey It’s fair to say that most things I do involve fantasy and escapism. The bulk of what I read is fiction, I cosplay, I’m entrenched in the online Star Wars community, and I daydream often. All of these things add some adventure and excitement to my life, but what do I do […]

5 Fandom Friday: Crossovers I Needed Yesterday
posted by tspofnutmeg
By: Meg Humphrey Like all fangirls growing up, I have often thought of what would happen if so-and-so ended up in this-and-that show and what drama would ensue. Growing older, my crossover ideas have gotten a little less romantic, but no less obsessive! Here are my favorite from past and present. Alien vs. Predator vs. […]

5 Fandom Friday: Favorite Fandom Phrases
posted by tspofnutmeg
By: Meg Humphrey The Star Wars online fandom is full of fan made things, phrases included. Here are my favorite ones. “Fangirl Flail!” Made popular by the wonderful ladies over at Fangirls Going Rogue, “Fangirl Flail” is something that I do a lot. And although it’s gender specific, it hasn’t stopped men from Fangirl Flailing […]

Paul Rudd is the (Ant) Man!
posted by tspofnutmeg
By: Meg Humphrey I loved Ant-Man all the way down to its teeny tiny pieces. I’ve been seeing things like “Ant-Man is Phase 2’s Hulk” and yes, it did pull in smaller box office numbers than more recent Marvel movies, and yes, the villain is basically an evil version of Ant-Man, but honestly I think […]

My Favorite Changes in the Harry Potter Movies
posted by tspofnutmeg
By: Meg Humphrey I recently binge watched the Harry Potter movies before embarking on my boyfriend’s first journey to the written world of Hogwarts (he had seen the movies, but hasn’t read the books). Here are my happy-face thoughts about what the movies made their own. Neville gave Harry the gillyweed for the second Triwizard […]
