Pixie Dollhouse: Revenge Of The Nerds

Hey all y'all! Q & A time! "Where are you now?" is always a popular question posted by you, my devotees. Where am I? Let me think...Oh my God, where am I? Oh, right. Of course. Right now I am hunting. I am in some place, with some people and I am hunting. That is clear. I am still unaware what these people have hired me to hunt, but it is extremely clear that whatever it is I am hunting, I am hunting it very well. Another thing I am currently unsure of is what I am required to do upon finding the unspecified creature. But I am prepared nevertheless to hug, wrestle, remove the teeth of, or even make an intervention on the creature the minute I am formally asked to. I am paid well for these skills. Hold on. Right now Benny is asking to be fed. More accurately, he is rapidly poking me while pointing a finger toward his mouth. "Benny," I am now answering him, "if you're hungry, there's lunchmeat in the refrigerator, but unfortunately you can't eat it right now because you're not actually hungry."

As I was saying, I will continue to hunt and I will continue to be successful. (Though I will never shoot anything because hunting is not good.) But what about you? Do you know what I find interesting, as you bombard me with questions about my life and what I am up to, is that you have yet to disclose anything about yourself and all of your great accomplishments. What have you been doing? While I've been making out like a globe-trotting Alfred B. Nobel incarnate, have you invented or revolutionized anything? Nothing? Seriously? Okay, I am going to close my eyes and count to twenty and when I open them if you're not holding an abacus or a cell microscope in your hand I am going to find out your address and-Wait. Excuse me. Benny is now crying. I must go.

Scattered fondness,
Dr. Doris Haggis-on-Whey

Revenge Of The Nerds

~~~

Bryony and I had a merry time behaving like nerds.

The new Spock and Chris Pine as Captain Kirk were fantastic. Am not really a Trekkie but I think this was the best Star Trek film I've seen yet. Admittedly, the only other one I can actually remember is the one with the creepy perfect borg beings, though I've been dragged to a number of others in the past... ones that clearly weren't too memorable.

SAURON

Yep, I was so excited to see this till every single person I know informed me what a disaster this movie was. I grew up idolising Optimus Prime and trying to turn my Transformers action figures into vehicles, but I think I'll wait for the DVD release and rent it.

Not a fan of doomsday movies or this franchise. Sam Worthington was excellent, though. Unsure why Christian Bale turned down the Marcus role to play John Connor. Honestly baffled.

The Yoda ass grab.
This was not... apparent till later.

A friend of mine calls these my 'kitty cat shoes' because, when paired with black tights, they make my legs look like they belong on a black cat with white feet.

Lawrence and I both wore kitty cat outfits to dinner. By accident.

B wearing a Batman shirt to go see Christian Bale in Terminator.
