    I can't stop thinking about when I will get the Millenium Falcon (giant lego) and if I should wait to give to my husband on his b-day (in Sept) or when it arrives so we can put it together right when it gets here! (He has no idea I ordered this)

    Yeesh! I already whined about the 2hr 42 minute run time. I'm making my husband get up early so we can see it in the morning before I have my usual amounts of water/tea/coffee so I can see it without having to take a potty break.

    Today I'm a nerd because to motivate myself to wake up and get to work, I watched a few minutes of Doctor Who while in the bathtub :3

    if you've seen Futurama this'll make sense, said in the style of Hedonism bot 'Ooooh how decadent!'

    if not, well I guess I just look wierd

    totally makes sense :D

    Today I was ALSO a nerd because our office was reviewing the case of a particular co-founder of a particular annual Con in Georgia, and I was the only one who really understood how important it really was. On a related note, I referenced Pedo Bear and no one got it.

    Because a neuroscience fan asked a question on Facebook that I was able to answer fully, completely and accurately. On a side note - have just discovered the Geekiest-Game-Ever. Part of Sebastian Seung's Connectome project to map the human connectome.

    He's created a game that will help citizen scientists map neuronal connections of the retina. We're actually training A.I. while gaming.

    I'm going to sit through a couple of hours of a Citrix sales spiel so I can see Dark Knight Rises for free. Never mind we stopped using Citrix in 2005, but secretly, I really would like to see what they've done with it.

    I am so sad. We can't make it this year. This is my annual vacation. When I told my boss I would be here that weekend (First home football game) He went GREAT!....Wait.....Isn't that your vacation. v_v

    I am a double nerd today because, now that my car is totaled, I decided to bike six miles of busy streets to my high school to get my final transcripts for college. And later i had a heated debate with a friend over whether David Tennant or Matt Smith makes a better Doctor.

    Today I'm a nerd because my biggest dilemma at the moment is whether I want to play Radiant Historia or Xenoblade Chronicles... and then realized The Last Story comes out soon which adds yet another game to my already-very-full repertoire. /gamer problems

    Today I'm a nerd because I spent the better part of an hour teaching myself how to write in circular Gallifreyan (an alien alphabet from Doctor Who)

    scaled.php?server=515&filename=20229544915625339022871.jpg&res=landing

    Its supposed to say "Am I nerdy enough yet?" but I messed up the word "nerdy" so now it says "Am I neddy enough yet?"
