The Nerd Herd!

[lezzar]

I highly recommend Firefly, it's a great show, and very smartly written (the great thing about Joss Whedon shows is that the characters tend to act like they've watched a show or two from their genre, and thus don't act like complete doofs).

If you do end up enjoying the show, there are also some tie-in comics that expand a bit on the characters.

I haven't watched Firefly (but I'll get to it, eventually), but I have seen Serenity (which was amazing), and Nathan Fillion is amazing in Castle

And thanks a bunch Satin! Adorkableness is the best kind of dork

Ok, that made me laugh out loud!!!

I do have a thing for Legolas, I have to admit. Orlando Bloom, not so much. Heh.

Me too, but I'll take either. He is hotter as Legolas, which is odd as I don't like blond guys. Weird. Maybe it was the ears, lol.

Same here! He's more my type as Orlando, dark hair and eyes. I usually don't go for blond guys, either. I think it's the ears, and the bow and arrow and generally bad assery.

Plus, when he's hanging around as Orlando, it's easier to notice how skinny he is. Not my type ...

So what have my fellow nerds been up to recently? I've been having my mind blown by the Walking Dead.

Me too! Just watched tonight's episode and am now watching Talking Dead.

Walking Dead is such an amazing show.

I love the singing of the Firefly theme. I have that stuck in my head all the time! Sometimes, when I decide to pop in an episode or 5, I get teary when I hear it.

OMG! I should totally try to learn to play that on my guitar!!! I'm just a beginner, but it's pretty simple-ish, isn't it?

To be COMPLETELY honest, I have said most of those things, so... Does... Does that make me a girl?

 

[lezzar]

nope.

You have a pretty floral bonnet?

(still doesn't make you a girl)

True, although, who doesn't want to befriend dragons? Being able to ride them and have it eat my enemies would be like, 10 times more awesome.

From TodayIFoundOut.com:

The Actor Who Played “Scotty” on Star Trek Was Shot Six Times on D-Day
Daven Hiskey November 16, 2010

Today I found out the actor who played “Scotty” on Star Trek, James Doohan, was shot six times storming Juno beach on D-Day.

Doohan, a Canadian, after leading his men through a mine field on Juno beach and personally taking out two German snipers in the process, eventually took four rounds in one of his legs; one in his hand, which ultimately resulted in him losing his middle finger; and one in the chest. The shot to the chest likely would have been fatal except that he had a silver cigarette case there, given to him by his brother, which deflected the bullet. He would later give up smoking, but at least he could say that being a smoker actually saved his life.

Ironically, the shots he took were not fired by the enemy, but rather by an overzealous Canadian gunman. After his unit was secured in their position for the night, Doohan was crossing between command posts, when a Canadian gunman spotted him and opened fire.​

There's a lot more rather surprising information about Doohan in the article linked through the headline above.

Finally saw The Avengers. Awesome, awesome movie. Funny as hell too.

And for a lack of anywhere else to talk about this, had a collar custom designed online for the missus (her main input was that she wanted it to be something she could wear in public, and that it had green gems and a bell on it).
