Too geeky?

Now, I love transformers. Love 'em. I've got a collection of the new Alternators line, based on licensed real-life cars. Further, I love Star Wars. I've got Star Wars legos all over and I'm lusting after the Lego Death Star. But I must say that this might even be too much for me. Transformers Star Wars ships? I want to get behind it. I really do. But I'm having problems wrapping my head around it. Okay, a wheel bike thingy that turns into General Grevious, that sounds okay. I mean, he's a robot-like thing anyway. But an X-wing that turns into a giant robotic Luke Skywalker? That's something else.



Well, maybe it's kind of cool. Just for the big "what the fuck?" factor. I mean, I'd definitely check out a Millenium Falcon that turned into a giant robotic Billy Dee Williams. Hmmm. Maybe I judged too hastily. I think I might have to clear some space on the toy shelf.

Contagion!

Anne got me sick. I just blew my nose and I think my brain came out.

That is all.

Math ain't nothin' but trouble.

So, once again, I was wearing my math shirt this weekend and I get an inordinate amount of attention from a gay man. Except this time, I had completely forgotten about the shirt and just couldn't figure out why this guy was smiling at me so much. It wasn't until I was telling Anne about it that she pointed out I was wearing my math shirt at the time. It's definitely of flattering, but why does this only happen with the gay folk? I mean, I wear non-GLBT affiliated clothing all of the time and girls consistently fail to throw themselves at me. I just don't get it.

Geeks reach out

Those of you who are both ubergeeks like myself and also want to help with the horrible aftermath of Hurricane Katrina might want to check out this auction. Organized by Brian Michael Bendis' (comic writer) message board and endorsed by him, it's an online auction where all of the monies received will be donated to the Red Cross relief effort. Comic book creators like Bendis, Robert Kirkman, Michael Oeming, David Mack and others have contributed or plan to contribute items such as orignal art and signed scripts, etc. The items are still coming in, but there's some cool stuff there already. So check it out. Pick up some geek memorabilia for yourself and give to a worthy cause at the same time.

The Bendis Board Charity Auction

I've got my eye on the Powers Zippo lighter, so hands off!
