I know what you’re thinking! You are thinking, “Hey, I thought CarrieS was not going to blog in December!” However, I’ve decided that in keeping with holiday tradition I owe to myself to remember some of the geeky joys that got me through a shitty 2017. There was so much great stuff! There was Orphan Black! And Wonder Woman! And more!
Usually I count the number of things that matches the number of days from November 1 until Thanksgiving. Since I missed Thanksgiving this year, here’s a full 31 days worth of geek joy.
