The Nerd Handbook

Rands In Repose: The Nerd Handbook

A nerd needs a project because a nerd builds stuff. All the time. Those lulls in the conversation over dinner? That’s the nerd working on his project in his head.

I was going to tease Quutar about this. Then I got to the parts that sounded like me. :-)

Too busy to blog

When I have time to blog, I have nothing to say. When I have stuff to talk about, I have no time. Tanya woke me up a 3 Friday morning to take her to the ER because she had serious pain and nauseau. I having no clue how serious this could be, wasn’t too worried and complied. We got out at 5:30, diagnosis - just her concussion. They drugged her, we came home and went back to bed. Later the idiot insists on coming with me to Knoxville to get my iPhone. *author does inner tap dance* So that’s 6 hours sitting in the car and wheelchair and while she loves hers too, she wonders why she’s so sore today.

How sore?

She had to call me on my phone to wake me up to get her something to take her pain meds with.

That’s things here. We’re playing with our new toys to take our minds off our pain.

But they’re really goooood toys.

Ah Tanya

She goes to Georgia to meet her family for a couple of days. Falls off a horse and breaks her ankle. Then calls me from Walmart where they’re shopping high as a kite on meds and plans to drive herself back home the next day.

It’s all just so her.

Dog and Cat Food Recall

Menu Foods has issued a recall of over one hundred pet foods for both dogs and cats–largely cutlets in gravy type food. Animals are suffering from organ failure and even dying from the contaminated food. Dozens of brands like Iams and Eukanuba are included. If you have a pet, check the recall website to make sure that you’re not poisoning him or her.

Saturday

Went out to dinner and a bar with Tanya Saturday night. Dinner at Red Lobster was good. The funniest part was when a server came in through the front door carrying a couple of pizzas back to the kitchen.

The bar was … a bar. The music was so loud you couldn’t hear anything (I had to unclench my teeth), the smoke was thick (I’m allergic), and the tvs were tuned to sports channels. I was really bored.

I’m so blogging this

Tanya and I are talking about Christmas presents at dinner tonight.

T: Is it bad that I’m thinking about getting you a present with an ulterior motive?
L: Is it worse that I’m thinking the same thing?
pause
L: Now I have to know. What is it?
T:Doctor Who - The Complete First Series
L: That’s what I was going to get you!
We both break down giggling.
And start to talk at the same time.
L: So you get me the first season and I’ll get you the second.
T: That was what I was going to say.
We both break down giggling again.

Later.
T: Now if Torchwood was out in the US…
L: … We would each be getting our own.

We’re spending waaaay too much time together. The world may be in trouble.

Quu’s secret

Boing Boing: Gamers are as good as bilinguals at solving mental problems

Gamers are as good as bilinguals at solving mental problems
Video gamers may have the same mental agility as bilingual people — an ability to swap out one task and bring another online quickly, which is useful in multitasking and is linked to lifelong mental acuity. A study at Toronto’s York University showed that gamers performed like bilinguals in hard mental tests, and that bilingual gamers were even better.

I Met Dave’s Good Twin

You know Dave’s the evil one.

His name is David. He’s tall and thin. He has a long beard and he’s a computer geek. He also has some similar manerisms and the same laugh. We interviewed him at work for an open position.
