8 Geek Items for the HUNGER GAMES Fan
Wednesday, February 29th, 2012
Okay, so yes I said I’d post pics of my writing retreat this week, but…really, this post is so much more necessary. Tomorrow kicks off HUNGER GAMES MONTH (yay the movie!!!), and, of course, I’ve got to do my rabid fangirl part to obsess celebrate. (Also, before I forget–in the completely boring line of business–just an FYI that Google is supposed to be pulling their Google Friend Connect button–that thing over to your right with one hundred-and-fifty-something pictures of happy people and their cats–from all non-blogger sites tomorrow **sniff, sniff, waaaail**, so you might want to consider following this blog via email. Do you see that cute little envelope icon at the top, right edge of this post? That’s the one. Go at it.)
And now on to our post.
Because what book do we adore more than almost any other on the planet???
THE HUNGER GAMES!!!
(Side note: If you don’t love it, then leave now. You’re not allowed to laugh, snort, or guffaw with us today. Also? I cast a shrinking curse upon your underwear drawer.)
And WHAT, my preciouses, do we adore almost just as much as THE HUNGER GAMES?
The rabid fan girls and boys! All drooling and crazy and running around in our their cute little camo, sticking arrows in people and making the Mockingjay sign into our their PB&J pita sandwiches. This post is for us them. The brave rabid souls who need more HUNGER GAMES items to maintain our their rabid geek status. To us thee I bequeath (in order of random awesomeness):
The Hunger Games lightbulb. (buy it at Amazon)
And what better use for said lightbulb than to illuminate your desk as you write lovely emails texts letters to your family back home. Although, too bad this doesn’t come with President Snow stationary. I’d totally use that for my mean official correspondence, like bills and income taxes. (buy it at Amazon)
And ooh, Katniss’ bow! How cool would it be to slink amongst the trees at the mommy-and-me park playdate, looking all Katniss-like, while the other moms talk pedicures and Jershey Shore? BEST. THING. EVER. (buy it at Hot Topic)
Also, single guys? This would be cool on your car’s dashboard. Probably even get you chicks. Hot geek ones. (buy it at Amazon)
And if you’re worried girls won’t go for you because your man-beard hasn’t grown in yet. NO. WORRIES.
Clickety-click –> for a cutout of Seneca Crane’s beard!
Just trim and paste onto desired scum-stache area. (Make sure to use Gorrilla Glue or cement paste since glue sticks will only give you about an hour’s worth of stickage. Also, duct tape is acceptable.)
And if you’re headed to the gym, don’t forget the Hunger Games water bottle. This baby’ll allow you to work out like a District Tribute while imagining Haymitch tossing croissants your way on the treadmill. (buy it at Cafe Press)
Of course, to go with that fancy dancy water bottle, you’ll need some fancy dancy food. And what could be more enticing than meals based upon the forages of the impoverished district residents. (buy it at Think Geek)
And finally…
Wait for it…
Wait for iiiiiiiiiit…
The HUNGER GAMES snuggie!!! Hahahaha…heck yeah. (buy it at Cafe Press)
Do you love them? If so, please take the Rabid Fan Girl Test so we can be warned to see how dangerous far your rabid fangirl status reaches. And not to brag or anything but…I’ve got movie tickets for HUNGER GAMES’ opening night. Do you?

8 Bookish Things Wrapped in Ribbon and Pretty Strings
Wednesday, December 21st, 2011
As with last year’s Christmas week post, I’ve collected an array of Christmasy pics and links and bits of bookish loveliness I think are heavenly. They’re perfect for you or me or any other book lovers in our lives who might be needing their “BookNerd” status affirmed. Go ahead, scroll on through (and click the green links to visit, or purchase from, the sites).
You know you want to buy these:
Phone Book Cover for sale from Pad & Quill on Etsy.
Book covers for the Kindle for sale from Spoonful Of Chocolate on Etsy. Seriously, how adorable is this?!
Same with this Giving Tree iPad decal (<– click to see it)
And the next time you go camping, you can wave your BookNerd flag loud and proud with this Book Tent from Field Candy. It sleeps two. The perfect purchase for the bookish canoodling pair.
Or you could stay in and read next to these handcrafted bookcase stairs.
But if you DO go out, be sure to take this Hunger Games handbag.
Or this Alice in Wonderland tote from Spoonful of Chocolate on Etsy.
Oh, and someone should buy me these BookNerd bookends from HolyCool for my desk.
Happy Christmas, everyone! May your holidays be peaceful and bright (and full of good reading)!
