Picture Update
Annnd We’re Back!
Well that was a rather long hiatus, wasn’t it. Okay maybe not that long but considering I was supposed to be doing this daily, that was pretty long.
Good god, I’m watching The Bachelorette because I am house sitting and the DVR is recording it so I can’t watch anything else. Here is an actual line that someone, a guy, said:
“That’s just my heart. Jump in… stay awhile.”
Jesus, did this guy learn how to talk to women by watching Anchorman? He is a little crazy actually. It’s weird watching this show because all these guys are attractive, in their own way. I think they’re all generally more attractive than normal but man… are some of them so NOT normal. They are kind of freaks, in terms of personality and acting like a rational person. I don’t know why this surprises me. I should just assume that since they are on a reality t.v. show to “fall in love” they are a bit off.
So back to real life. This weekend included dim sum and Renegade Craft Fair with friends.
Sunday I ended up heading beyond the orange curtain via Amtrak. Spent the day with Darren and Pancake
Darren and I ended up baking two pies last night. One from scratch and I made a fucking excellent crust if I do say so myself.
ugh, blogging
I’m so tired. I’m not sure if it’s because of the heat, because it’s late, because I went to the gym, or what but man do I not want to be blogging right now.
I suppose I should post something… something.
so like, middle of season 6 of Lost. stuff is happening and I don’t really care what is going on but I just want it to be over. OVER I TELL YOU
O k
time to sleep
Adventures in Nerd Dating: A Practical Guide
Add this to the list of great ideas and Jewlie and I have.
Last night we went to Crazy 4 Cult, which is an annual group art show created by Kevin Smith. The theme of the show is cult movies and culture and with the content being what it is, throw in a comic book store right next door, the crowd is usually of the geeky variety, which is good for Jewlie and me.
So Jewlie and I were talking about being each others’ wingmen, or wingpersons if you will. Except that we then realized we had no idea what a wingman actually does. We tried to look it up but the Wikipedia entry needs some work. (Update: The actual Wiki entry for a flight wingman is much more informative.)
Then a genius idea, we should write a book, no a blog, a nerd’s guide to dating. What is a wingman? What are appropriate topics for first date conversation? What happens when nerds date nerds and what happens when nerds date non-nerdy types?
Of course, just like any other idea I have, I thought, wait has this been done before? Probably, Wasn’t it called Sex and the City?
Uh, well, not quite the same but that’s the general idea. Seeing as how we didn’t know what the “right” answers to all those questions were I figured we’d just blog about our experiences, but then you have to wonder, “Who is going to read that?” We’d have to be entertaining ALL the time. That is really tiring. Sometimes Jewlie and I just like to take a break, sit around, and be desperately boring, bland and humorless. So, you know, we just scrapped that idea, went to the show and ended up going home at 8:30 so we could be in bed by 9.
