Geek in Heels

I'm shaking as I write this. I hardly got any sleep last night after witnessing my beloved Knicks win Game 5 of the 2026 NBA Finals, marking their fourth win and sealing their status as champions. I still can't believe it, and I keep reading the news and scrolling social media as if I need to confirm that yes, we did in fact win the Finals.

It's been 53 years since New York won a championship. It's been 27 years since we were in the Finals. (Coincidentally, we were playing against the Spurs then too. And then, the Spurs won games 1, 2, 4, and 5....and the Knicks won exactly the same games this year.) There have

Elmo Gets Bullied by Knicks Fans for Staying Neutral

Jun 05. 2026

So have you heard? My beloved New York Knicks are in the NBA Finals. Many analysts say that the Knicks had it easy going through the weak Eastern Conference, and that they have no chance against the West. But the Knicks are on a historic run, having won TWELVE straight playoffs games, and having lost their two lone games by a total of 2 points.

Sure, Wemby may be a one-in-a-generation freakish alien phenom whom some consider to be the best player in the world, but the Knicks have two centers that match up well against him. And they proved it on Game 1 by beating the Spurs by 10 points on their home turf.

Dean, Sam, and Castiel Meet on ‘The Boys’ (Supernatural Cut)

May 25. 2026

(Spoiler warning!)

Confession: I'm a huge Supernatural fan. I'm not as obsessed as to attend conventions and write fanfics, but I have watched the entire series (all 15 seasons) at least 5 times and I admit a shed a tear or two when the last strains of "Carry On Wayward Son" faded away.

I was tickled pink when Supernatural gave a shout-out to Jeffrey Dean Morgan (who plays Dean & Sam's dad and was at the time playing Negan on The Walking Dead ) by including Lucille the bat in a scene in season 12 where Dean exclaims, "Man! Dad loved this thing." 😛

I was delighted to learn that Supernatural produced not one but three married/engaged

Aquarium Posts Naughty and Good Penguins of the Month

May 24. 2026

The National Aquarium of New Zealand must have one heck of a social media team, because they have been posting "Penguin of the Month" pictures for years to shine a spotlight on their most popular residents.

With the "naughty" penguin of the month pictured next to the "good" penguin of the month, you can't help but chuckle over these adorable animals' antics. Some of the penguins, like Mr. Mac, Dora, and Dave are featured more than once, which only makes you become more invested in them. Scroll down to see them all, and if you want more, you can see pictures from earlier years here .

An Asian American Online Multimedia Textbook

May 23. 2026

Our website of the day is Foundations and Futures: Asian American and Pacific Islander Multimedia Textbook . Created by the UCLA Asian American Studies Center, Foundations is a free massive online textbook on Asian American history and culture. It's authored by an impressive list of Asian American studies scholars and incredibly well-put together and researched.

it's a great resource if you want to learn anything about Asian American history, issues, and cultural production. I was delighted to see a mention of Dae Jang Geum in the section about Hallyu — I knew it was a hit drama (and I loved watching it), but I never knew its cultural significance. (Fun fact: Dae Jang Geum was the last

The Best Show You’re Not Watching (‘From’ on MGM+)

May 03. 2026

I'm a big fan of the horror genre. I love being scared. I can watch B-list horror flicks all day, but I especially love it when a rare horror film/series is thoughtfully made with truly scary villains, intriguing plotlines, and perhaps a bombshell or two.

I also love mysteries, and thrillers.

So if your tastes are anything like mine — heck, even if you can handle scary entertainment, you have got to check out From on MGM+ . (I also believe the first season is available on Amazon Prime .)

From is produced by the same producers of Lost , and it bears some similarities. The characters of From are trapped in a town, as the characters

My Current Makeup Routine, Spring 2026 Edition

May 02. 2026

Why do I make myself up every day when I do not have a job and my only outings are errands and chauffeuring my daughters to their extracurriculars? For one, I do not want to be a frumpy mom. I was a frumpy mom for a period of time, but only when the girls were babies and I barely had time for myself. I like devoting some time to my appearance each morning and I like to think of it as a self-pampering ritual. Also, getting myself put-together gives me a sense of readiness and confidence to face whatever the day brings.

Since I have been using a few new products since the last time I did
