Elusive Nerd Girl Commodity.

Ask a Cute Nerd girl is my personal collection of cute and nerdy lady friends. I have spent my time on earth as of now amassing a pretty fucking sweet collection, if I do say so myself. I have somehow managed to coerce them into transforming together into regional panel here to advise you upon anything from the everyday nuances of life to your deepest, darkest, dirtiest secrets. We don't claim to know it all. We do all have vaginas though.

Please write to us! We will answer. All emails are received and reviewed by Mary. To ask a question of the panel:

Email Mary

I will distribute anything that is not plain ol' porn** to my remaining beautiful and sensitive ladies. We will publish your questions along with our collective responses.
If you wish to remain anonymous to the internet public, I will respect your wishes.
Pretty much anything you send me, I own.
**I reserve the right to laugh at and publish any porn sent to me.

Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles and Whitechapel

Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles is terrible. I apologize for being excited to see it.

Here is something completely unrelated yet awesome I wanted to pass it along for all my indie comic pals. I saw this bulletin on ye olde myspace from Warren Ellis:

The Indie Comics Stage

Right. I opened my new little message board WHITECHAPEL towards the end of last year, to shake it down before the webcomic project it's bolted to, FREAKANGELS, gets launched. We're a month away from launch now, and I want to warm the message board up a bit.

So. If you create an indie comic, Whitechapel go to this thread and introduce your work. Indie comic? Anything that isn't published by Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, a book publisher or an Image studio (but I think Image Central counts). "Indie comic" includes webcomics, minicomics, phonecomics, whatever. You get the idea, right?

So go to that thread and show off. Whitechapel is built on HTML, not BBCode -- use the reply interface to post images, links, etc. Don't swamp it with eight full pages of art or anything, but, you know, show people what you've got.

There are currently 1700 people on Whitechapel. Many of them have money. And since I'm also posting this on my website, LiveJournal, MySpace and Bad Signal, there will probably be a few more people than usual taking a look.

Incidentally, if you're starting out as a creator and/or looking for a place to talk about making comics, you should really visit Panel & Pixel as soon as possible.And, obviously, those of you who don't make comics, but like reading them, should watch that thread to see what interesting stuff turns up. I'm hoping for a few nice surprises myself.

hah! I was right. I made it through like 20 minutes of that show and was bored. Summer Glau was lucky whe was in Firefly. She cannot act...at all.

yeah, the show is a wriggling louse of suck crawling on the scalp of american culture. the second, SECOND, school shoot-out, when the terminator impersonates a substitute teacher to find john conner, and right before the terminator bursts through the window to chase after john, he looks back at the assembled students and says "Class Dismissed." i watched that and wanted to kill my brain to spare it the pain of living in a world where someone pays another someone to say shit like that.
But Summer Glau looks cute so I'll be watching until the show is canceled.
Damn Fox for knowing how to market to me!

I disagree about Summer Glau's acting. I thought she was the best thing about that show. In fact, if the show was about her, I'd watch it. I just don't think Lena Heady is likable. At all. And neither is the kid. (That show needs Adam Baldwin. And he could stay on Chuck. And be on all other TV shows.)
