This year's Halloween costume...






Hmm. I wonder whose idea it was for me to dress up as Sally Jupiter? 
Five points if you get it right.

"I met a traveller from an antique land" Part Two

So Optimus Nerd made me read The Watchmen, and of course I willingly obliged.  But I should get an award.  Seriously, I teach high school English!  I get paid to read, talk abut reading, and read some more.  Now if only I could get my students to stop writing "IDK" and "cuz" and write the actual words instead.  A girl can dream, now can't she?

Despite the fact that last semester I was reading three novels simultaneously, I still finished The Watchmen before the film was released in theaters.  Well, I finished it on the plane right before the epic movie night, but still.  I did it.  I was like a reading machine.  A proud one at that.  Also, it helped that Nerdman drilled with questions and mini-quizzes on what I had read like EVERY NIGHT.   I had to have something to report.  You don't understand what it's like to hear my nerdy lover's disappointing tone when I hadn't read the night before.  And he isn't exactly interested in hearing me yammer on about how I think it's cool that the author Alan Moore integrated two frame stories within the main story.  You know what I mean?

How do you know if your bf is nerdy? Part Two

You know your bf is nerdy when you relate to an episode of Greek, not only because sororities are the shit, but because this particular episode featured a trip to Comic-Con.  Ugh. My life.

P.S. I promise to write an extensive post soon.  That is, as soon as those Ninth graders give me a break.  :)

How do you know if your bf is nerdy?

After a long week at a new job (teaching high school English to be exact), a good boyfriend would offer to rub your feet.  A good nerdy boyfriend would offer to rub your feet and talk to you about Warhammer 40K.  An awesome one can do all that and make it entertaining.

I'm a very lucky girl.
