I'm on the all-woman Halloween party planning committee at my genetics research workplace and I named us the 'Women In Pumpkin STEMs' and I don't think I'll ever top that, personally or professionally.

For the past three months I kept seeing this little stuffed dog on my favorite hiking trail, lost and completely taken over by moss. Finally rescued him and bought him a terrarium. I...don't even know what's going on with me anymore, man.

Sorry not sorry, we were SO psyched to finally meet the four hobbits (with Gimli and Eomer!) this year on our 18th wedding anniversary! They all congratulated us which made our 6 year journey to finally meet them all the sweeter. #hobbitday

Dear god, nothing made me feel older than the Bikini Kill concert I was just at. Why was the audience 90% 16-25? At least these 40 somethings can still hold their own in a Monday night pit.

Did I have a shitty day and self-medicate by purchasing Over The Garden Wall makeup because my time here is fleeting, OTGW reminds me of that, and it was my favorite color scheme? ... ... 🤫😬

Sex is great but have you ever read Edgar Allan Poe whilst enjoying dark chocolate mousse and a vintage bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon in front of a crackling fire in an ominous Victorian mansion under a full moon with the sound of owls in the distance on a cool October night?

If you don’t want to read Dracula together by candlelight whilst sharing dark chocolate cheesecake and a vintage Cabernet Sauvignon in an ominous Victorian mansion during a full moon on a cool October night as wolves howl in the distance, then please don’t tell me you’re “open to trying new things."

I dunno, gently getting back into my Monkees hyperfixation as a 41 year old is healing teenage elvenashes who was mocked at school even by some friends...but, full disclosure, also ran a popular Monkees chatroom in the official sever at home THE LATE 90S/EARLY AUGHTS WERE WEIRD.

The 3rd episode of the Monkees TV show, Monkee vs. Machine, is a shockingly accurate look into the future about the dangers of AI. In this essay...

I had the best, most bittersweet time last night. These 3 years of fandom have meant so much to me and the Ghovie was such a perfect culmination of it all and a, again, bittersweet way to close the chapter. Miss you already, Papa. #2big2rig

I have sensory issues with loud noise. My husband: I thought you said you'd never do IMAX again. Me: Oh, Papa can scream in my ear all night. My husband: ...sigh. Also, the ghovie was amazing! I cried during Future Is A Foreign Land. Felt so cohesive. 10/10. #2big2rig

Mixed feelings on 2 Big 2 Rig tonight. It's going to be years before we hear from Ghost again. But while we still had the ghovie to look forward to, we were still alive, damnit.

Have I been annoying to everyone I know about my hobbit fun weekend? Oh, most assuredly. One of my favorite parts was skipping any and all after con parties and doing this back at our hotel room with a large pizza to split. Middle aged cosplay can be more fun if ya do it right.

I seriously can't describe how much this weekend meant to me. I've destroyed myself with stress and burnout but I felt like a teenager again during all the events with the four hobbits at Fan Expo Boston. Just this sense of hopeful, peaceful happiness that I haven't felt in quite some time.

Second in line for Second Breakfast with the Hobbits! Concert pit training has ensured we are annoyingly early for most events.
