Author Archives: Christina Myers

Christina Myers is many things, but a mother first and above all. She has a seven year old girl and a newborn son whose name proves her geekthnicity. Dante Jay was named for two Clerks characters, and if that wasn’t enough, his lovey has been dubbed Randal. You can’t keep best buddies apart!

She was a nerd long before she was a geek, spending most of her childhood buried in books and studying her heart out. It wasn’t until she met her husband 12 years ago that the overgrown nerdiness died and the spark of geek in her grew, and her grades showed it! No fancy degrees here. Though she once intended to become an elementary school teacher, she later decided that she’d much rather teach her own children.

Being a stay at home, home schooling mom gives Christina time to fill. Her love of books was instilled early by her mother and she has her own library to prove it. Television is an addiction and must be on in the background at all times. Movies are a love shared with her husband and many late nights are spent picking apart crappy B movies. Whatever spare time is left is devoted to writing smutty altpair Inuyasha fanfiction and keeping her fans impatiently waiting for updates while she starts new projects instead of finishing the current ones! She’s even finally attempting to write an original fiction after years of encouragement from her readers.

Christina would be a hermit if she could, absolutely despising the heat and humidity of her home in Central Florida and dreaming of moving someplace where seasons actually change and snow exists. Until that dream comes true, she does most of her socializing through her laptop and her blackberry.

She only just got a Twitter account, but you’re welcome to follow her as she tweets random thoughts during late night feedings and diaper changes. http://twitter.com/SunsetMiko

I had never before seen a Lionsgate film I didn’t like. After watching this movie, however, I can no longer say that. I was very disappointed. One word easily sums up Camp Hell not only for me but for my husband as well: pointless.

I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I was to find this year’s Ripley’s book in my mailbox. It wasn’t just me either. My husband and eight year old daughter were thrilled too. We all loved last year’s edition, and this year’s Strikingly True does not disappoint.

Overall, while it wasn’t what I’d imagined it would be, I enjoyed this anthology of Hellraiser stories. They were all very different, both content and style-wise, and it was interesting to see how much they varied. Some of the stories I could have done without, but some had great lessons that make you think. This was definitely worth the read.

Overall I think the book is great, and it has actually reignited my interest in all things Harry Potter. From a cookbook perspective it isn’t the best, but it still succeeds in giving you a deeper look into the Harry Potter world, one recipe at a time.

Just reading the summary of this comic sent me rushing to watch 28 Days Later again. It had been so long I barely remembered any of it, but I’m definitely glad I refreshed my memory because otherwise the beginning of this comic wouldn’t have made much sense.

You know, while I was typing up my last Futurama review I was thinking that we hadn’t really seen Nibbler for a while now. Well, that problem has been solved. This episode is a very Nibbler- and Amy-heavy episode, an interesting combination necessary to save the world!

Yay! This episode of Futurama really focused on Fry and Leela, even if they weren’t in the same place, or even the same time, for most of it. It was still really romantic and drives home how they’re meant to be together. Yes, I am totally a fangirl for Fry and Leela.

As if getting to interview the artist of Hybrid Bastards, Kate Glasheen, wasn’t great enough, I got the opportunity to pick the brain of the author himself, Tom Pinchuk. It was so much fun to peek inside the mind that created such hilarious insanity!

“Lethal Inspection” is a very Bender-heavy episode, where Bender learns some important information about himself. It was nice to see more of Hermes, too, as he always seems to be more of a background character, and this time we got to learn a little about his past!

TV Review: Futurama 6.05 – “The Duh-Vinci Code”

Ah, The Da Vinci Code; liked the movie, loved the book, and absolutely loved the episode of Futurama it inspired, “The Duh-Vinci Code.” Professor Farnsworth and the crew follow obscure clues that lead them to a stunning (read: amusing) discovery and send Fry and the professor on an adventure.
