There's lots of fun, quirky, and geeky stuff out there. I write about it.
Every time I head out on a trip, I begin to get anxious unless I’ve packed a book for every day I’m going to be away. I’m not talking comic books here. These are novels. They’re heavy. They take up massive amounts of space. There’s always a nagging feeling I’ve forgotten something unless I have […]
Read More I Can RelateI like exploring the unfamiliar, rare and strange. It almost always turns out to be marvelous. Every time I uncover a gem of knowledge and get to polish and shine until it becomes part of my collection, it makes me happy. ‘Til next time, Jessica
Read More Exploring the Strange and MarvelousOh, oniochalasia, I know you well. Otherwise known as I’m-having-a-bad-day-I-need-pineapple-shoes. Not always the best way of coping with the vagaries of life, but surprisingly effective. Life lesson – don’t use credit for retail therapy. You require more retail therapy when the bill comes due! ‘Til next time, Jessica

Read More StormbornI’m beginning to put together the logistical pieces for my graphic design firm, and in all the immense excitement, there’s a little kernel of fear too. However, this is no castle in the air I’m building here. The Fraud Police get no niche carved out for them. Its early stages yet, but when I’m […]
Read More This is No Air CastleI need a place to hide today. I didn’t have something quite as sophisticated as an abditory in mind though. If you want to find me, I’ll be in my pillow fort coloring. ‘Til next time, Jessica
Read More A Hiding PlaceI recently gained access to HBO programming…brace yourselves. My first discovery? Foo Fighters: Sonic Highways. I’m completely addicted. If Dave Grohl didn’t already have “rock god” status, he attained it when he broke his leg during a show and still finished it…then created a Foo Fighters guitar version of the Iron Throne (Two guesses what […]
Read More InspiredI looovvveee this comic book. It features a mercenary team comprised of four women. Sassy, opinionated, hard partying, ass-kicking women who are heroes when necessary…or when they feel like it…or when the pay is good enough. Betty, Dee, Hannah & Violet make me the laugh-out-loud-while-reading kind of happy. The Rat Queens by Kurtis J Wiebe & […]
Read More Rat QueensWhen I was a little girl, my Grandma Joye and I would sit on the front porch of her Craftsman style house and make up stories about fairies together. Under the sweeping mimosa trees, we’d build fairy houses of twigs, shells from fallen nuts and acorns, bark, moss, grass and flowers to make sure the […]
Read More Fairies and Other Good StuffHave you ever heard of Saul Bass? Even if you don’t know the name, you’re probably familiar with his work. Some of the most recognizable logos in the world were created by his hand, United Airlines, Girl Scouts, United Way, and that doesn’t even touch on his film work. Psycho, Spartacus, Exodus name a few of […]
