The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

What's the nerdiest thing you've done lately?

Talked to some other Former Vampire LARP people about maybe, just maybe, starting up a troup game.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

What's the nerdiest thing you've done lately?

Last night I was looking at a comic book encyclopedia of various pagan deities to get names so I could look them up in more academic sources and figure out some stuff for a role-playing game that I don't actually play.

not your mom's socks.

oh I'm totally washing all my bags. YERK.

What's the nerdiest thing you've done lately?

Teaching HPF to advocate for "Han shot first."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm proud of our nerd-dom.

Please keep them coming. I want a full accounting.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm sorry, but I don't think anything I can come up with could possibly beat "mapping out the nerdhood of my various internet friends and associates."

Actually, Jon B.'s "I went to Theremin camp" is still in the lead.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I've been relatively unnerdly lately. Next weekend is the Brooklyn Comics & Graphics Festival, though.

Truly it is the magnetic north of your nerd map.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

I think I fail as a nerd this month. The nerdiest thing I'm doing right now is going over the copy-edited version of my ms for errors added during copy-editing. Close to zero on the nerd scale I fear.

Thrive to spite them

It's not really nerdy but I went to see if there was any info about the Shelburne Museum's next season exhibit "Time Machines: Robots, Rockets, and Steampunk".

So far nothing, but I can't wait (it opens in May).
