I recently went to see Deadpool and Wolverine in the cinema and had I suddenly realized why GenX love these characters so much. There is no doubt 80s (and also 90s) kids love the Wolverine, but it seems like Deadpool has become very popular in our demographic, even though his humor and sensibilities are more in line with those of a 13 year old boy. So why do we like these characters so much? Because they ARE us. We have the rough and indestructible Wolverine who just wants to be left alone, but…

Today is a great day to read all day (and all night)!

"Hmm. Difficult. Very difficult..."

Don't you find it strange that we don't have a distinct "look" these days? If we look back exactly 100 years to the Roaring 20s, fashion had a unique style; you could instantly identify people from the 1920s just by their clothes. if you look back at past decades - the 1940s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s—each of these decade had its own unmistakable fashion trend. But ever since the new millennium arrived, it feels like people just started dressing… "normal," whatever that means. Today's fashion…

Have you ever found yourself laughing like a lunatic as your Sim's kitchen catches fire or calling your friends over to watch you remove the ladder from the pool? There's something deeply fulfilling about playing The Sims, where we can live out our wildest (and often most chaotic) fantasies, like being able to buy a house. From designing dream homes to orchestrating elaborate parties where the guests actually arrive, The Sims lets us be the puppet master of our own virtual world. You can meticu…

You just rolled a nat 20

You know what's better than being correct? Winning the lottery! But also being technically correct . In this age of social media, where we engage with complete strangers daily, there's no better feeling than shutting down a conversation or an argument with one perfect comeback. Look, anyone can be correct on the internet (and most people THINK they are, all the time), but being technically correct —that's the ace up your sleeve. It allows you to walk away victorious from any argument, even if y…

Even the smallest meme can change the course of the future

This listicle is like hitting “Shuffle” on your browser history (Do people still use “Shuffle” anymore? It used to be such a big deal that apple came out with the iPod Shuffle that will only play random playlists, Remember that?) It has a little bit of everything - Some Star Wars mixed with Alien, some Ghostbusters mixed with Lord of the Rings, Back to the future with Die Hard - anything goes! This is the secret to a good Geeky T-shirt, too, By the way - If you want people stopping you on the s…

What is it about this black, bitter, hot beverage that I love so much? And I do love my coffee! I am dead serious when I say that if it were up to me, I would only drink coffee. Come to think of it, it IS up to me, and I DO only drink coffee. I drink about 7 cups of coffee a day and only recently stopped making EVERY one of those with a double shot of espresso . If you are worried about my health - don't. I have asked Google several times, "How much coffee is too much coffee?" and as it turns o…

Resistance to these memes is futile

When I was in high school, I used to think that I was too strange to hang out with . I could hear everyone talking about the music and TV shows that they liked and it was so far away from what I was watching that I would just smile and nod. They would yap about whatever happened on the latest episode of whatever reality show they were watching, while my mind was still traveling across the latest fictional land I was reding about in my latest book series obsession. But what I learned when I got…

Let's do a Geek test - Close your eyes and think hard about Jerry's apartment from “Seinfeld”. Ok, now open your eyes because you can't read this text with your eyes closed. But let's do a little memory test - I want you to Imagine you are standing in Jerry's kitchen, facing the living room, and now you start walking towards his bedroom. Did you take a right towards the bathroom and then take a hard left right into the bedroom? Pretty impressive considering we never actually saw his bedroom in…

Up B like your life depends on it
