Being Geek Chic is a blog for stylish geeks, sophisticated nerds and people who enjoy the musings of a complete dork. Join us as we dream of driving the TARDIS, cuddle with our eBooks and test out an iPad sleeve. It's written by Elizabeth Giorgi and a team of brilliant lady nerds. Meet the team.
One full week back in non-Doctor Who action and I feel a little like we have a hang-over. I’m not quite sure we have fallen back into things just yet. And this picture of my Gram wearing a bow tie covered dress isn’t helping. It’s just so damn adorable.
RIP, Grandma Ann, you feisty lady. I secretly like to imagine her running around space and time with the Doctor in this dress. Speaking of RIP, I’m so sad that Roger Ebert died. He was a gem.
“We are put on this planet only once, and to limit ourselves to the familiar is a crime against our minds.” - RIP @ebertchicago
I may not have agreed with him about every movie, but he was always insightful and never mean. You could always count on Ebert to write genuinely brilliant words on any subject, but he was especially beautiful when he wrote about film. I will miss hurrying off to his website as soon as a movie was over. See you at the movies, Rog.
Here’s some good stuff this week… and yes, I’m going WAY over four things this week, because it’s been a while since we have gone through this exercise together.
The Nerdy Girlie asked me some questions about being a geek girl and it was so fun. She’s a doll.
Here’s my Five MUST VIEW indie movies on Netflix. Safety Not Guaranteed blows my mind every time. Love it.
I’m planning lots and lots of travel right now. NYC in June. San Diego in July (which reminds me, anyone want to share my hotel room with me?) and a Euro adventure in September. I’m constantly perusing Design Tripper. My friends, it’s hotel porn. And Gala Darling must have known I was obsessing too, because her list of bizarre and beautiful hotels is so fun. I want to visit every one.
Speaking of life list updates, fellow MSPer Sarah Von Bargen just knocked off another item on her list. Visiting Dollywood. Friends, are you ready? It looks fun.
Mid-season TV shows are back. Here’s another good one: my ultimate guide for avoiding TV spoilers.
Have a good weekend. Get out. Soak in some sunshine. Buy yourself some flowers. Wear a bow tie. Tell yourself you like yourself. And if you don’t, fake it til you make it.
xo,
Liz
