It's Wednesday (and not the Adams) ... and a list!

To start here's a little Wednesday for your Wednesday!

found here

I've always loved Wednesday Addams... can't go wrong with a self sure, slightly homicidal, little girl who knows that she wants and eschews pink! (My little girl is very into pink, but I think I may be on the right track for the rest).

I also wanted to share this:

Hehehehehe.... Nerd Approved used the header "This Pretty Much Sums Up How Spider-Man Felt About His Return To Marvel". Hope it gave you a good giggle like it gave me!

So many Movies to be coming out... hopefully I'll get to see them all in theater!! If I do I'll definitely let you know how they were!

Here's my List for Day 11: Favourite Words!

1) BLUBBER (makes me giggle if you say it over and over again)
2) Awesome!
3) Amazing.
4) Yupperoo!
5) Sounds Good.
6) Anything random my kids say and anything I can add an exclamation mark too.

So until next time,
Keep on Geekin on.

Yay Marvel... and yet More Lists :P

I was/am very excited to hear today about Marvel's deal with Sony for Spiderman crossover! For years I have been spewing my belief that it's only a matter of time that Sony, and Fox and the rest of those who have the various Marvel Product, realize the immensity of the Marvel universe and figure out a way to JOIN the MCU while still retaining the product. AND SONY DID!!!

If you don't believe me read about it here on NERD APPROVED.

Now I'm just waiting for the X-Men... not that I think Fox will ever stop messing up my favourite Marvel Series, but I can still hope.

Here is the updated Infographic of the Marvel Character movie Rights. If you had seen the original (also found HERE by Geek Twins) then you would have noticed originally there were a bunch of separated bubbles... but Marvel has acquired some characters back and is now working with the other companies creating a true Cinematic Universe (Other than Fox really... seriously casting 2 different Scarlet Witches and Quicksilvers in movies coming out within a year.... sigh).

Imagine if all the Marvel characters were back under Marvel control.... oh what a geeky world we would be!


Well, enough with my Marvel Universe Rant... to my list!


Day 10: Think I am good at!

1) Being a Mom!
2) Geeking out with the best of them.
3) Art... mostly drawing, but I'm working on Costume Creation.
4) Being overly blunt... yes I am that friend.
5) Not putting up with shit or rudeness.
6) Believing that I can make it through the worst situations (and I've lived through some crappy ones) if I keep going in a positive direction. "Things will work out"


I'm debating if I want to make these lists prettier... can anyone recommend a good program for that?? Something free preferably!

Keep on Geeking on!

Day 7 to 9 of Lists!

Well over the weekend I haven't had a chance to post much of anything... too busy with a makeup party with my 4 year old and family visiting.

Here's some pics of the kids after our makeup day... I could swear my little Rapunzel looks almost Amazon-like with her face makeup.

Well then, lets get to some lists :)

 Day 7: What would you tell your 20 something self??

1) Don't put yourself second in your relationship.
2) If you wait it will never happen... do it today, now! Right NOW!
3) Kids are awesome... don't worry about it!
4) There is no shame in you geekery... embrace it... screw the neigh-sayers.
5) YOU ROCK! Embrace it.
6) Yes you look go... wear it... be proud.
7) Look forward, even in the hardest times... You'll get there!

Day 8: About Me!

1) I am a mom of two wonderful little geek girls in training.
2) I love everything to do with pretty much everything geeky even if I don't know much about it.
3) I don't love my job... but I don't hate it. I love that it allows me to afford my geek stuff.
4) I will spend money for my kids over myself every time, with no shame.
5) Art has always been a part of my life, as well as Math... There is no shame in loving both.

Day 9: In my bag!

1) Wallet
2) Ridiculous amount of pay stubs because I forget to take them out.
3) Emergency diaper (for my 16 month old)
4) Usually a drink of some sort.
5) Papers, that I have no clue what they are. LOL


Yay Lists.... some of it I probably could write a novel on but I'm limiting myself!
Keep on Keeping On :)

A picture a week and 2 Days of Lists

So with joining IGGPPC I've been trying to get into the clubs lately. This allows me to A) start embracing my inner geek love and B) finds me a new outlet for getting my stuff out.

I've been trying to get costuming done for Fan Expo but with 2 kids under 4 it makes my time limited. This is a new way to start getting doing things without breaking into my family time!

So here's my Picture of the Week... this week's theme was Shadow:

Baby Groot Shadow. 

I couldn't pass up taking of pic of the adorable shadow that Baby Groot made!

Now to the Lists:

Day 5: Fears

1) Not doing things right.
2) Not being able to provide for my kids.
3) Loosing myself in order to "make a living"

Day 6: Antidotes

1) Spending time with friends.
2) Snuggling my kids
3) Watching my 4 year old daughter get excited about Avengers.
4) Reading a good book
5) Watching a good movie.


I'm hoping to scan a new pic I've done for costuming this weekend, so stay tuned.

Until Next Time.

Lets do some more lists

LISTS!!!!!!!! Lists!!!!!!!!!! LISTS!!!!!!! 

Where I got the pic: http://fromsarahwithjoy.blogspot.ca/2014/01/how-lists-might-be-enabling.html

So I decided I'd try and catch up on my 28 days of lists:

Day 1: Geeky Favourites

1) Cosplay (cause what adult doesn't want to dress up like superheros and run around in costume for a day... SERIOUSLY!)

2) Marvel, really I'm primarily and X-Men fan but I like all things marvel in general. Even the most awful of variations done into movies. 

3) I have a doll collection... some angels but mostly things that are a little strange... goth dolls, fairies, I'm particularly in love with Pullip and Monster High/ Everafter High dolls, things like that... also quite a few toys (Nightmare before christmas, Groot), and NO my girls are not allowed to play with them, they have their own dolls LOL. 

4) Laurell K Hamilton, my favouritest author in the world who I wish would come to Canada... but I digress. 

5) Anime... I'm partial to the cuter ones, like Soul Eater and Chobits... but I'm flexible and haven't had time to really get into them as much as I'd like. 

6) Anything Sci-Fi, and Fantasy related... who wouldn't want to fly through space on the back of a dragon fighting badguys with lazer swords... 

Day 2: Who Inspires me

1) Wil Wheaton... cause he's Wil Wheaton!

2) Jessica Nigri

3) Laurell K Hamilton: heck she actually learned knife fighting to write her books.

4) Kato

5) Anyone who pushes people to do what they love and screw what society thinks!

Day 3: Things I would tell my Teen Self

1) Marks don't matter as much as you think.

2) Don't worry about careers as much as learning new things you love.

3) Embrace the Geek... don't let anyone make you feel like it's not right to be geeky, everyone is geeky they just don't always show it. 

4) Don't put your stuff on hold for someone else to achieve what they want... YOU ARE IMPORTANT!

5) Don't limit yourself to a stigma... you can be good at art, math and anything else you want at the same time... Don't listen to those that say you can't be good at both!

There I think I caught myself up :)

Now to catch up on the Picture of the week challenge! WOOT!

Until Next Time

Doing Lists... for IGGPPC (starting on Day 4)

Oky so usually you start a Lists Challenge on Day 1 but I'm starting on 4 because I missed the first 3 days... if I get a chance I will post lists 1 to 3 at a later date!

Here is the list of Lists.... so for DAY 4 we have Geek girl powers:

1) The ability to love something cute and horrifying at the same time.
2) The ability to argue till I pass out about how much I dislike Halle Berry as Storm and feel the Iman should have played the character.
3) The power to let adaptations be adaptations without feeling like the whole world has crumbled.
4) Being a 33 year old woman with kids who can still wear and design costumes.

Here's a design of my current Cosplay I'm working on for Fan Expo Canada. There may be some things I may change in the actual costume versus the design, and I still haven't decided how I want to make the dwarf shrunken heads... so here's hoping it all comes together.

Until Next Time.

A New Blog and New Life.

WELCOME to all those joining me from Artsy You, and all new followers.

I have decided that starting fresh was the best way to get going with joining my online communities and starting to get involved within other communities who have similar interests to me. I like everything from Comics to anything Marvel Universe, from Board Games to Art. I currently have a slight obsession with Costuming and Cosplay and am starting to attempt at creating stuff for that. I also have been designing my own stuff.

I made shoes!

I had these shoes for years and started not really liking the colour anymore, so I made my own handy dandy comic book shoes with images from Comic Pages, Modge Podge and a Brush. (I am planning on sealing them in time. Once everything is sealed then I won't be so worried wearing paper shoes outside LOL).

So hopefully this will be a start of a new journey where I can share my progress and maybe make new friends who also enjoy all things Geeky.

Until next time.
Angie
