Geek Tuesdays

OMG IT'S GEEK TUESDAYS.

AND OMG IT'S A BORG MINI FRIDGE.

The Borg is my favorite villain(s)(can I say that they are plural or singular because they are one in many...) in the Star Trek 'verse. The mechanical zombie appearance, the drones, the Borg Queen, Locutus/Jean-luc, the list goes on. The fact that the Cube has been downsized to a mini fridge just enhances my love for them. Why do I love it so? Because resistance is futile. That's why. If you read down the comment section of the page someone had the brilliant idea of creating a microwave to look like a Replicator.

That was also the time when a lot of people were like "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY". ThinkGeek needs to get on the ball on this one, just sayin'.

For those in the Geekdom that don't have the sincere appreciation of Star Trek and its glory, you can purchase the Rubik's Cube Mini Fridge which is just as nerdy and just as awesome.

If, for some reason, my kids don't want to get into Star Trek (but that's ridiculous, why wouldn't they?) they can switch over to some other means of Nerd. Which is fine, my kids are nerds, they really don't have a choice - this is genetics after all.... *sarcasm implied, sorta* But I put it to you, when your four year-old asks you if you would like "Tea, Earl Grey, Hot, Mommy?" just like Captain Picard takes his, is she a nerd-in-training?

I think so.

Update

So I have decided that this thing needs an over haul. If you subscribe to my Facebook (which you do, I mean... why wouldn't you?) then you know that I've decided to pour my goals into concrete and really work on them.

Goal: To quit a job I hate.
Goal: To open my own damn shop.
Goal: To get a house in Yellow Springs with my kids and D.

I figure it's going to take some time for these things to come to fruition and I am well aware of all that entails. No seriously, I am very well aware. My first step has been to get a book on online marketing and time management. My second step is to join a gym because Momma loves cake and that muffin top has got to go.

Life tip: When your five year-old comes up to you, pats your stomach and tells you that there's a baby in there(when there is no baby) it's time to drop a few pounds.

I've discovered sterling silver wrapping and will be posting the glory of ultra-shiny things as soon as I have more than one finished. It's not as awe-inspiring when there's only one, people. Fire Mountain Gems is a thing of beauty, I really recommend anyone to them for all their jewelry needs. Plus tools, I was able to purchase nylon coated pliers and the like for all the sterling so it won't be all scratched and ratchet looking with my wire twisting ways.

And trust me, non-ratchet looking jewelry is always the best way to go.

I'll be posting with greater frequency. Hint: Geek Tuesdays are coming.

Art Affair On the Square and Upgrades

I went to Portland. I became Portland. I lived for Portlandia. . .

For a solid week and then, when I came home I snapped back into reality... Slightly. Only slightly. I missed my loves! But it was good to get a break, I think there are those times when separating from the kids is just completely necessary. Space. Air. Breathing room, etc.

Just to let you know, for all my nerds out there, that is in fact the Astoria from one of the best 80s flicks of all time: The Goonies. My best friend, O, wanted me to do the Truffle Shuffle but I declined.

Some of the best parts though?

This guy right here.

All in all it was a good week. I'll be damned if I don't go back soon.

I've been thinking about upgrading my stuff into silver and gold! My tools came this week so this weekend you'll be able to see my new wire-wrapped stuff! Oh yeah, by the way....

So, for some good fun this weekend you should make your way down to Urbana, Ohio if you can. Why? Well, Lemme just say Art Affair on the Square and all its glory. Because there you can find things like these:

This is what I'm saying. Saturday, July 19th from 10:00 am till 6:00pm I will be there with fantastically shiny, pretty pretty things!
You should probably be there...
