One of MY students performing Seiuchin kata at our semi-annual tournament and competition. Aside from just posting pictures of strong, confident, capable women, I love the idea of being able to maybe just help shape a few for the future myself. :)

Answer:

Ummm… I know I haven’t been as attentive as I should be to it until the last couple days, but this is it.

As happened with Mass Effect 2, it took Borderlands 2 coming out to finally get me inspired to start playing the first Borderlands. I like Lilith’s PhaseWalk power as it reminds me of Infiltrator Command Shepard. I can snipe from far away and then when they get close, just go invisible. I don’t like getting my hands (or guns!) dirty! :)

Sure, the season is only two games in so far, but at least briefly, Appalachian State senior Anna Freeman (center) is leading the entire country in scoring. She’s backed up by Courtney Freeman (right, no relation) and Maryah Sydnor (left).

Hurricane Sandy wasn’t all bad to me. My company wanted me to work so they put us up in a hotel in PA for three days. During that time, I found a Bargain Bookstore that had a TON of Marvel Graphic Novels at like half price or better. I picked up two volumes of the NextWave series from Warren Ellis and Stuart Immonen and starring the one-time Captain Marvel, Monica Rambeau.

Congrats to Stacy Lewis for winning the LPGA Player of the Year award for 2012, the first American to win the award since Beth Daniel in 1994. Diagnosed with scoliosis at age 11, she was in a back brace until after high school when she had five screws put in her spine to fix things up.
Those kinds of stories are how you become role models in sports.

Since I didn’t have any luck in finding a picture of Power Girl with a unicorn to sum up my enthusiasm for trying to start up on tumblr again, this will have to do! :)

Etta Bishop, we hardly knew you before you were gone.
And I imagine there was so much more to tell.
But that’s the limits of a 13-episode finale season. Everything’s on Fast Forward. (Sorry, that’s another show!)

Right. You can call her Commander “Palmer” if you want to.
But, the voice? The attitude? (I love in the new Spartan Ops episode when she walks up and just kicks the alien object giving everyone the heebie-jeebies.)
Welcome back, Commander Shepard! :) Glad to see you’re taking care of the Halo universe as well now too!
