I know, I’m sooo behind on my comics. I’ve been busy. Comics are my second hobby, so they fall by the wayside for work, family, and exercise. At work: we’ve been closing in on the new exhibit. Here’s a picture of the giant sloth skeleton getting installed. Here are my comic ratings for the […]

Geek Girl Con 2013: Day 2
Geek Girl Con 2013 Day two, October 20. I missed the panel on “The Changing Role of the Character of Color” because I stayed up late playing board games with Jenny and Simon, who kindly hosted me on my trip to Seattle. I was really sorry to miss this panel and I hope to find […]
Geek Girl Con 2013: Day 1
Here I am at Geek Girl Con, my first pop culture con since my teen years. My students Kelsey and Brianna, who blog at Fossilosophy, bought me tickets for Xmas this year. I’m going to post my reactions today and tomorrow. I’m hoping to use this as a dry-run for blogging at science conferences. If […]
Comic Reviews for 10/2 and 10/9
OK, I’m a week behind in my comic reviews. I have two good reasons: I had a weak haul on 10/2 (as you will see) and I was in the field collecting a mammoth tusk. Look: First, the two books I got on 10/2: The Shadow Now #1, Liss, Worley, Steen, covers by Bradstreet and […]
Comics for 9/23/13: The end of Villains Month

For example: this month, I have purchased 11 Villains Month books, and I usually get 11 different books from DC’s […]
Comic pull list 9/4/13
I’ve decided to merge two of my hobbies by blogging my reactions to the comic books I read each week. Here’s my first installment. Are there spoilers? You betcha! This was a big week for me, with eight books, because I skipped last week (it was a fifth Wednesday). As you know, comic books are […]
My comics pull list
I’m a big comic book fan. I have been since I was a little kid. To give you an idea of my mania: when I was in college at the University of Tennessee, I discovered that I could buy comic books with my meal plan money… I went through a phase, as many comic book […]
You can only have three hobbies as a scientist. And you should!
It’s been a while since I’ve blogged. That’s because blogging trades space in the third of my three hobbies. You’ll understand if you read to the end. The title of this post might sound like I’m going to prescribe three hobbies from which scientists must choose. Nope. Instead, I want to suggest that as a […]
