I'm ready for today's National Holiday

I took today off to celebrate the National Holiday. It's really a shame that the significance of today isn't recognized with Federal Holiday status so that everyone has the proper time to attend the appropriate gatherings.
It's the same with Columbus day, which should be a national holiday in order to allow us to appreciate Italian American culture more fully.

But I digress: I've scheduled a day off, I'm ready to celebrate properly, and I'm quite pleased.

I've got everything I need ready to go:


1) my advanced ticket to the first (daytime) showing of Star Trek Into Darkness, in IMAX 3D!

2) A geeky T-shirt:
Web fluid and spleens not included



3) And some excellent reading material for before the show starts.
I loves it! Me mum was Irish, donchaknow.
I loves it! and me Mum was Irish, donchaknow.

CHEERS!

Have a great weekend everyone! Live long, and prosper.

Top 10 things I'm into that proove I'm geekier than ever.

In honor of my milestone Ten Followers, I'm posting a top ten list. I've been nerdy all my life, but I've really become very geeky in the past year or three, and I'm loving it, frankly. Perhaps as I get older my WISDOM has enjoyed a +1.
 (see?)

TOP TEN THINGS THAT DEMONSTRATE I'M A HUGE GEEK:
(in no particular order)

1) Zazzle Store for the Tesla Graphic Novel


1a) A Tesla Graphic Novel, you say?

2) I've become a huge fan of TableTop

2a) and a big fan of Wil Wheaton in general

3) The Big Bang Theory: Not just watching, but understanding most of the science stuff and actually agreeing with Sheldon a lot. A lot.

4) I literally gasped in joy when I saw THIS

5) and this

6) I spend way too much money buying new games and RPGs on Kickstarter

7) I'm developing a KS or two myself...

8) After taking a "Geekiness Test" where it said you can count to 31 on one hand, I had to find out how, and now I do it all the time.

9) I'm a huge cooking geek. Like This Guy and This Guy... and both publish outstanding books or magazines to help us all cook better! I don't just cook, I science my food to excellence!

10) I collect / horde DICE. Even if I don't use them... it's a sickness.

bonus: Zombie Cookie Cutters

HUZZAH!

(P.S. "Huzzah" might be # 11.....)
