What does a geek who’s chic do on a Friday night? I’m kicking ass on Spider Man Friend or Foe (tonight I’m Blade), and tomorrow I’m getting my stragedy together to kick more butt on Soul Nomad and the World Eater.

I was additionally flipping through channels and saw Tyra Banks- Geek Chic and wow. I was livid. Strangely livid. I don’t snort when I laugh, I’ve never been in marching band, any sort of school band or club for that matter (except drama club) and I surely don’t dress “geek”. Girl needs to redefine what IS geek.

As Ben puts it best:

“Are you a geek? Do you want to be a geek? Did you know that geeks can not only fix your computer, but they can also:

• Install telephones
• Design visually stunning websites
• Drive over the speed limit legally
• Carve life size statues from butter
• Rap
• Strip wallpaper
• Chrome your harley

So you see learning about your inner geek is the key to releasing your super powers.”

We are more than a fashion faux pas. We are the leaders of society. We can balance a check book, put fashion week to shame, we define YOU, and we spay and neuter our cats… and yours! We are smart, funny, adorable as hell. We are wickedly awesome in the sack, our kisses can render you our slaves and we can still reimage your computer by the time you finish the most awesome orgasm ever.

So what did THIS sexy geek do on her prelude to the weekend? I kicked video game ass, did my nails, drank a glass of wine and took hidden pleasure in my magazines. There’s nothing sexier than a well rounded mind.

In other words- Yeah, spent another Friday night being dateless.

The premise of the game is simple: You sit in one spot and try to capture cars on your camera as they zoom by going over 40mph. With a lesser camera it could pose quite a fun challenge. With the Exilim by Casio, it’s no challenge at all (which is both good and bad)

 Today’s Results:

And then a snap shot of a pretty autumn afternoon taken from my backporch on a weekday when everyone else is at work BUT me

A yellow cat laps up soy milk from a glass vase and I can’t seem to match my mascara to my shoes. DAMN IT! I wish that the rain would cease over the scarred pickles that rot in the empty lot near the steaming field of rice.

 If you’ve no idea what I’m talking about, sorry- I’m not willing to dumb it down for you (that and I’ve no idea what I’m talking about, but I think it makes me cool if I talk in code).

It’s been a very busy week of milestones, seeing growth and strength within the workplace and once more my living space has feng shui flow. Top it off with a three day weekend and a three new video games to satiate my cravings and it’s all good baby.

 THREE DAY WEEKEND. A three day weekend in itself is awesome times ten. Now take that three day weekend and factor in that while you’re at home on a week day, sipping your coffee at nine in the morning in your pj’s while your co-workers/friends are doing the job thing… YOU AREN’T!!!! It’s not a “I’m home because I’m sick and I can barely move. Please kill me… kill me  now…” It’s a “I’m home playing video games, reading, zoning in front of the television and NOT AT WORK while everyone else is!”

Its 12 a.m. on a weekday and it’s OKAY!

That being said… People please, quit giving attention, money and time to untalented skanks- this includes non-scientific or educational periodicals. Use your turn signals. Stay off the freaking cell phone while you’re driving (you are not that important and whatever the coversation is about… it can wait). Quit shelling out the bucks for Hollywood crap and spay or neuter your plants.

Remember:
Never sacrifice your intellect for attention
The fashion industry is a long running joke
Chunky highlights make you look like a collie
If you’re still doing the club scene past the age of 30- please seek a mental professional
There is no such thing as “eating to fill a void”. It’s a control issue, get over it.
Southern California truly needs to be shaken up and tossed in the ocean

If you weren’t in the “know” of what had been actually going on the past week, then I guess the blog seemed a little coded.

Still cryptic I can say that I was unhappy about a certain move as I didn’t see any logic or sense placed behind it.

My foot! Jonathon is grossed out as I had an accident tonight when I moved his wheelchair. A piece of the back sliced into my foot. Jonathon told me, “OMG I feel sick! It’s like on Buffy when Willow’s skin was being peeled like an apple! I’m going to be sick! You’re making me sick!” I quickly bandaged myself! There was no gore! My heart is broken as I make my child ill.

All is less cryptic today. All was less cryptic yesterday as well, but I was too tired to write come nightfall. I was too busy snuggling with my new Chanel bag that houses my sleek, awesome digi cam and my “never leave home with out it” Flip camcorder and Zen Stone. <-you never know when you need to capture a moment and add background music.

 Speaking of background music, I nabbed Jonathon’s Hannah Montana CD to take to work so I could check out what the music was all about (he LOVES her). My friend and I were head bopping all morning to the point we wanted to get the puffy sticker with the google eyes as were transformed to twelve year olds. Then work hit full force shortly after and we were over stressed 80 year olds and I was in desperate need of some Lawrence Welk. Hmmm are 80 yr olds really that dated? Isn’t their generation the Rolling Stones?

Dare I write down my true thoughts here? Dare I open myself up for reprimand because I voice myself on my own site? Prithee, what will happen should I have an independent opinion.

I fear the scolding that comes along with showing my concerns. It doesn’t seem to matter which sector of my life I’m referring to as people from all different areas seem to take offense. My time, surroundings and preferences can be molested and if I dare pipe up, I’m scolded. Me, a grown woman who has managed to live independently for over half of my life. I’m supposed to be a good little girl in the presence of others and not gripe or feel bent out of shape when people bully their agendas on me. Well I suppose I do have a choice- [censored]

The past week has definitely challenged me, hell the past month has. The shocking reality that if I vent- [censored] …(I’ll just say I [censored]…- that’s it…). Rather than realizing you’ve been there for [censored].

[censored]… Damn them all to hell! I hate polyester.

That coupled with a flu shot that kicked my ass, psychotic gnat [censored], a friend who was supposed to [censored] (I guess I haven’t learned the art of gracefully being truthful), and then I’m still adjusting to the damned [censored] are paid. Thank goodness I don’t own a credit card?

GAH! I don’t even want to know what’s next.

Okay, I’m breathing. I will plaster on a smile and hope no one looks at the scgrowl in my eyes. I will focus on Jonathon, get into the mind frame to write happy or at least interesting things, enjoy my friendships with those who are sane, train my betta, play my video games, read my books and watch my films while trying to gain some of my wacky goofy energy back as Lara Croft needs another dating adventure SOON.

But as for [censored], [censored] can [censored] in [censored] and I hope [censored] because [censored].

It’s become a habit recently when I get Jonathon off of the bus, “April BABY!”

Comic Con in NYC 2008! Birthplace of Gotham City, Spidey web slinging action and Tiffany and Co!

Yesterday right before my battery died in my camera, I popped in the Spider-Man games trying to find the Javits convention center and the hotel we’re staying it. Spider-Man 3 didn’t have it, but Spider-Man 2 totally kept us from being lost!

I needn’t worry about though as I was assured we will be picked up and delivered to the hotel by a true visionary. A master mind genius who will not get us lost. I will not be destined as a bag lady wandering the streets of NYC with a shopping cart full of cans and screaming “I AM a lady!” Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

COMIC CON! All the creative juices from all industries coming together in a huge mental orgy of collaboration, news, and inspiration! While Jonathon is hub nubbing with his heroes I will take notes for my Manga adventures of Nekura Akegata. Ah hell, I’ll be too busy feeling his excitement I won’t be able to take notes.

SO many people have contributed so far in money, support and well wishes, including Midtown Comics in NYC who are providing two nights of hotel stay right near the convention center.

I’m still pinching myself as the reality of all this happening is NOT feeling real! Jonathon has been through SO much, inspired SO many people and has been my soul for SO long that I’m in tears just grasping that his dream is coming true.

ACK! APRIL!!! I think we’re going April 16th – 20th… OMG ACK!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME TIMES TEN SQUARED INFINITY.

Well I’ve had a very long day of the good, bad and the ugly, so I’m calling it a night while I’m still on my NYC high.

Start spreading the news, Im leaving today (actually it’ll be April)
I want to be a part of it – new york, new york
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it – New York, New York

I wanna wake up in a city, that doesnt sleep
And find Im king of the hill – top of the heap

These little town blues, are melting away
Ill make a brand new start of it – in old new york
If I can make it there, Ill make it anywhere
Its up to you – New York, New York

New york, new york
I want to wake up in a city, that never sleeps
And find Im a number one! top of the list, king of the hill
A number one

These little town blues, are melting away
Im gonna make a brand new start of it – in old new york
And if I can make it there, Im gonna make it anywhere

It up to you – New York, New York

This is why apartments should allow dogs I’m trying to make the most out of having a new betta for a pet.

It actually started last night. I’ve had a week of pulled muscles, pinched nerves; basically an over all senstation of feeling sprained. It’s not a huge deal as it typically happens when I’m out with the boy and I accidentally move the wrong way when lifting him in and out of the car.

In addition to this and perhaps the pain being the root cause, I’ve had insomnia… BIG TIME. Last night I took some Tylenol PM with a glass of wine and went to bed shortly before 11 because when that ten minute window of feeling TRULY tired is there, you don’t skip it (I guess I really don’t need to recall every little thing). Anyway. I had a bowl of cereal earlier that evening while I was wearing my black lounge pants, a black t-shirt, and my hair was in a pony tail. HGTV was sounding on the television and the temperature outside as approximately 54 degrees with scattered showers.

25 cars probably passed by my patio that evening… a few SUV’s, a bicycle… dog, a couple pedestrians… Okay around 11 I figured I’d turn in as my eyes had been doing the sleepy watery thing for a little over an hour despite my legs and body feeling completely active. FINALLY everything felt perfect for falling asleep.

I finished teaching my Betta fish to dart up to the surface, do fishy kisses with me and then dive and plop on the rocks. It’s adorable! The next time I feel like it I’ll try to capture it on my Flip Camcorder.

Off to bed I went. As I went to lay down, I felt myself roll towards the center (I have a King sized mattress so there’s a little bit of room when I roll). It felt like it was sagging! I went to lay on the other side of the bed… back to the center again I went. OMG! I was sooooooo tired that I just remained where I was at and decided to be depressed about it in the morning.

It’s a Serta, it’s not supposed to sag! I knew I gained a couple of pounds, but not THAT much! Is it the end of my mattress??? I popped a water pill at work and pouted as I questioned my weight and it prompting my bed to give in to it.

So while that was heavily sitting on my mind, a friend had returned from NYC after a weekend holiday there. Hearing about the experience had my other friend discuss her experience. I was feeling excited, and frugal (OMG 18 dollars to ride an elevator up the Empire State Building? The planes weren’t shooting at King Kong because he was threatening, he just didn’t pay for the view). I’m cheap, I can’t help it.

Aside from gasping at the twenty dollar bottled water and everything else that came attached with a price tag, I viewed the main NYC transporation site and almost passed out. Jonathon and I may not meet up with our friends there until a day after we arrive! WE’LL WIND UP LOST FOREVER! All these thoughts of us getting swallowed by the city flooded my head! I asked my friend if it would be wise to hook up a GPS device to Jonathon’s wheelchair- or if all fails I could bring one of the Spider-man 3 games as I’ve web slung in all four games and if I were mid city level, then I could probably find my way around. Michelle suggested a tour guide/map. Yeah- that sounds a little too logical and I’m not familiar with a real map… just the Marvel maps provided in the game.

When I got home I mentioned this to Jonathon and he gave me that look like “Oh please it won’t be a big deal”. I asked him what he suggested and he replied, “We’ll just bring the Spider-Man games, duh.” Heh. Smart like his mama.

After we figured out how to save ourselves from never being seen or heard from again, I went into my room to look at my mattress.

Ugh. It was visibly sagging! I don’t weight THAT much!!! I went to flip the mattress and noticed that the frame came apart. “Ooooh that’s right, I was trying to find my lucky rock and went to move the bed, it must have come apart then…”

I put the bed back together and the mattress is once more nice and firm! Now to get my butt to follow suit so the next time the bed sags it really won’t be due to me!
