A Family Exploring the Worlds of Fandom Together
We are delighted you found Nola Nerd Couple. This website started as a way for us to share our travel experiences. The blog used to be CookTravelEat. However, we quickly realized that we kept attending nerdy events and doing all kinds of nerdy things. We evolved into the Nola Nerd Couple. We started writing about Star Wars, Comic Cons, comic books, etc. Then in 2017 we found out we were having a little girl and now we are a trio (even though we aren’t changing the branding til she pulls her weight by posting on this website!)
We hope you enjoy our site and if you want to see us cover an event near us, let us know! You can reach us at mrnolanerd@nolanerdcouple.com
I know, the title of this post is as cliched as they come. I don’t care. For me, it has become a mantra. I have palindromic rheumatism. Basically, my white blood cells attack joints and the muscles and tendons connecting them even though they are health. I don’t have arthritis;…
If you are a regular reader of this blog, you will notice that I, Mr. Nola Nerd Couple, write the majority of the blogs. Mrs. Nola Nerd Couple wanted to write more and even made a resolution about it: My third resolution deals with this blog. I love the idea…
We wanted to write a letter of thanks to our readers. We started Nola Nerd Couple as a way to tell our travel stories. In fact, we used to be called cooktraveleat.com. But then we realized we wanted to do more nerdy things, and in turn, write about them. While…
A re-post of last year’s coverage of the Krewe of Apollo’s parade in Lockport, Louisiana
My new year’s resolution is to make myself into a better me. My palindromic rheumatism seems to be in remission. I’m done with grad school. In other words, I don’t have any excuse. To quote Radiohead, I want to be fitter, healthier, and more productive (but not necessarily a pig…
On Friday, August 26, 2005, I was working out at the gym with my best friend Beth. We made plans to see The 40 Year Old Virgin at the movies the next day and I went back to the apartment that I was planning to move out of during Labor Day.…
Cristina and I both have been buying and reading comic books lately. I think one of the reasons why we both like comic books is that we are both just finished grad school. Reading intense historical works or detailed educational research just makes us want to read for escapism. Of…
I loved the X-Files and its spinoff, Millennium. Yet, they both had a major flaw if I remember correctly. They played on Friday nights. Friday nights in the fall in Louisiana are reserved for prep football. I tried to keep up with the X-Files as much as I could in…
One of my favorite things to do is to soundtrack my reading. For example, when reading a biography of Truman, I would listen to popular music from whatever time the chapter was set. If it is a fiction book, I try to figure out what music matches the mood. I…
