Dear Hollywood, Gypsy Curses? NOT Okay.

dear-hollywood-gypsy-curses-not-okay
About a week ago I read a review for the new Sam Raimi horror flick Drag Me To Hell. The description offered went something like:
Christine Brown is  a loan officer at a bank. When she refuses to give an old Gypsy woman an extention on her loan, the woman curses her to be dragged to […]

Help Us Choose A New Header

help-us-choose-a-new-header
Now that we’re all settled in to the new blog space and I’m finally able to spend some time making things look more ABW-ish, I’d like to do something about our headers. Currently we have some rotating nature pictures which are pretty, but not very us. I could modify the old header and stick it […]

I’m sure Karnythia and possibly miss Nojojojo will have something to point to in comments. (Or they can edit this post.) Anyone else participating and […] Continue reading

[ June 13, 2009; 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm. ] I promised you a long time ago that we would have another NYC meetup for ABW readers and fans. Sorry it has taken me so long to set another up. As in my last post, layoffs, upheaval.

People who went to the FaceBook page may have already noticed that I scheduled another meetup for June 13. […] Continue reading

ABW and FaceBook, Round 2

abw-and-facebook-round-2
So something weird happened to the first ABW FaceBook page. Not a clue, and I didn’t have the energy to worry about it at the time (layoffs, life upheavals, you know the drill).  A second ABW FaceBook page has is now live and is more stable. I know a bunch of people became fans before… […] Continue reading

A Call for Creativity

For those of you not aware, there’s been a bit of a resurgence of Fail surrounding Race over in sciencefictionfantasyland. This latest debate/discussion surrounds a book called The Thirteenth Child.

Happy Mother’s Day

happy-mothers-day
To all the awesome mothers of color raising children of color (and every other mother, too!). I don’t celebrate Mother’s Day much since my mom died. But every now and then I do something to commemorate it.
This story is amongst those things. It is, for those of you keeping track, SF, with people of color, […] Continue reading

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

x-men-origins-wolverine
Like any geek worth her salt, I saw the movie this past weekend. I try not to pay too much attention to casting, spoilers, or even trailers, so I was really surprised to see will.i.am in the movie. As the sole brother, I expected him to make me proud. All I can say is that […] Continue reading

The problem with Dollhouse is not that I don’t understand subtlety

the-problem-with-dollhouse-is-not-that-i-dont-understand-subtlety
Yesterday coffeeandink pointed to this amazing Dollhouse vid set to the tune of “It Depends on What You Pay” from The Fantasticks. It’s so spot on I can’t even describe. Go watch, if you’re inclined, but be aware that it could be triggery. C&I mentioned in her post that the vid author warned […] Continue reading
