Catching Up With The Windy City

The last time I went to Chicago was to celebrate my 30th birthday. Yay! This very important milestone required four star treatment so my husband booked us a room at the famous Drake hotel (referenced in the original Tom Cruise Mission Impossible movie), and I got courtside seats (well row 8) to a Chicago Bulls vs. […]

Letting Go

Broken hearted you cry, Releasing the anger through your tears, Vowing to move on, To stay strong, To fight and live another day. It happens naturally, Regaining your composure, Becoming a new person, reborn, with no need to wallow on the pain, Once bitten, twice shy, But with the acumen to win when, not if, […]

10 Reasons to Move Now

The loyalty of the Millennials has been questioned because according to studies and polls, these “kids” switch jobs every 2 to 3 years and don’t believe in the corporations. Who wouldn’t with the constant threat of layoffs and dwindling pension and benefit packages? Baffling as it may sound, this generational group does not run at […]

Death of Thrones

George R. R. Martin promised the readers that by the end of the books you would be in the middle of a war torn decimated land full of tombstones. It comes as no surprise that as season six winds down, the kill-o-meter is going haywire. Early on I realized that falling in love with a […]

My First Role Model: She-Ra, Princess of Power

My mom can attest to the fact that I had every possible item of the She-Ra collection. She was my favorite Princess, right before Allura and after Aurora, aka Sleeping Beauty. My devotion to her and to He-Man was so spectacular and all consuming that to this day, I win trivia games because I know […]

Sci-Fi At The Pops

A few years ago, I went to the Boston Pops, an offshoot of the city’s symphony orchestra series that specialized in popular music functions. From the introduction, we learned that for a time John Williams had directed the Pops, which must have been a treat for the locals. Upon our return home, and during our […]

Moving on up! Chateau Enginerd coming September 2016!

There is so much promise in moving and starting over in a new home that it would be hard to contain it all in one page. The apprehension alone of having to pack boxes and not forgetting that you moved when coming back from the office is a welcomed change. However, I am taking the […]

Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman

To my utter disbelief, Rebirth will not include Sensation Comics, a compilation of Wonder Woman short stories. From encounters with Cheetah to tales of love and war, this offshoot covered alternate story arcs for our favorite Amazonian heroine, unrelated to her main title series. It was full of color, innovation and diverse writer/artist content; a […]

The Legend of Wonder Woman

When the New 52 was up, DC decided to gift me with an – online 23 chapter and print 9 part – alternate origin story of Wonder Woman which they aptly called Legend of Wonder Woman. The intent, as I saw it, was to allow a woman writer and artist take a stab at the […]

Rebirth, The End of DC’s The New 52

DC Comics, and Marvel for that matter, have gotten into the habit of rebooting and rebranding comic book serials every decade or so to attract new customers to their material. Since I wanted to jump back into this hobby, I took advantage of their 2011 initiative called The New 52. The reboot included popular titles […]
