NAME: Andrea Johnson

SECRET UNDISCLOSED LOCATION: a secret whisky bar that is located in an unnamed public university's undergraduate library.

NERD SPECIALIZATION(S): aliens, language, snarky AI's

MY PET PEEVES IN NERD-DOM ARE: too much world building up front (let me discover it myself), crimes against adjectives, boring dialogue.

VAMPIRES, WEREWOLVES, ZOMBIES, ALIENS OR ROBOTS: aliens for sure!!

RIGHT NOW I'M READING: Ration by Cody Luff

...AND A COUPLE BOOKS I RECENTLY FINISHED ARE: Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, Conservation of Shadows by Yoon ha Lee

NEXT TWO ON QUEUE ARE: Mirrorstrike by Benjanun Sriduangkaew and The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski

WHEN THE WEATHER SUCKS OUTSIDE I'M MOST LIKELY TO BE... curled up under a blanket, reading or taking a nap

MY FAVORITE SUPERHERO AND SUPER-VILLAIN ARE: I don't have a favorite superhero, I'm more an anti-hero kind of girl. Favorite super-villain is The Monarch from The Venture Bros

IF I WERE A SUPERHERO/VILLAIN, MY POWER WOULD BE: the power to instantly make you fall asleep. I could do whatever I want and you couldn't stop me, and you'd get a good night's sleep.

THE BEST COMIC FILM OF THE PAST 5 YEARS IS: Tie between Into the Spider-Verse and Thor: Ragnarok

THE WORST COMIC FILM OF THE PAST 5 YEARS IS: I don't watch a lot of comic films, so not sure if the few that I saw were good or bad. sorry!

I JUST WATCHED The Witcher AND IT WAS AWESOME my twitter feed is currently 50% Witcher memes by volume. Toss a coin.

I JUST WATCHED XXXX AND IT WAS TERRIBLE. We stream everything in my house, if something is bad, i usually just turn it off in the first five minutes.

EVERYONE SHOULD SEE Castlevania (Netflix) BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE, the characters are self-awarely over the top and the banter is great! 2nd season is skip-able.

BEST SCIENCE/SPECULATIVE FICTION SHOW OF THE PAST 10 YEARS Tie between The O.A. (Netflix) and Ascension (Syfy).

NAME A BOOK YOU *NEED* A MOVIE OF (OR VICE VERSA) The Lies of Locke Lamora. When they get to the 3rd movie/book, I've got my Sabetha cosplay ready to go.
