There are nerds and there are NERDS. (Not that this baby is a nerd. In fact, I don't know this baby. Maybe he is nerdy. Who knows).
As you may know, this blog started from a few choice nerds betting me to blog. Yeah, yeah, I lost but I still stand by that they are uber nerd turds! They probably were first in line for the newest 10g mega version of the iphone dressed up like bitten out apples high fiving themselves for their purchase. I bet they face-talk-time or whatever you call it across Los Angeles when they are geeking out over some beep bop bits. Fine, I still have a lame 1999 blackberry that I barely can work and FINNNE, they have used the internet to be super successful actors, writers, producers, job hiring people WHATEVER! BUT…they are still nerds. (The nerdest thing I know how to do is 'control S' to save on my writing box. Yeahh! Take that!)
Now, I haaavvveeee had an occasional nerd moment like when I used to build barbie towns in my basement and then invade them with stolen stormtroopers from my brother, or the now occasional Harry Potter marathon on ABC family. However, this summer I nerded out on the set of 'The Guild' and got to partake in the nerd fest. Felicia Day is a long time improv actor friend as well as Kim Evey and they sure put on a fun show. I have to admit I didn't understand MOST of what I was talking about. There was one super cool costume embodied by may I say, a very cute 20 something gentleman so between takes I asked what he was dressed as. He scoffed and said 'DUH! Assassin's Creed.' I was like..'Appolo Creed? Cuz I remember him in sexy satin shorts!' He didn't get my joke nor was he amused that this old Aunt lady was talking to him. Anyway, Felicia and Kim are fucking pioneers in this genre and inspiring all around. Also, the guy that plays Vork is a dear pal. In comedy and life in general.
Watch if you haven't. I'm in episode 10, 11, and 12. A teeny tiny part. (I'm in process of getting the outakes). However, if you watch earlier eps…you may see one of our other 'nerd' friends.
Still..I have no idea what cos-play MMS hoo-dee-do is.
I was super excited when I recognized you in The Guild. Of course, I didn't actually pick you out until the last episode... the second time I watched it. Oops. But I was still super excited!

OMG, I thought that was you in those episodes! I am so happy to see you posting again. I, too, am getting back into blogging after a long absence. It's awesome for laying the burden of your soul open for all to read...for some screwy reason. Welcome back!

OMG!! You're back! Sorry if I'm late to the party. I meant to click on Wheaton's site from my favorites list and accidentally his Jesus' favorite instead (I never could remove it even though you were gone). I used to enjoy your blog and I look forward to catching up on your recent posts. Hope all is well!
