Being a nerd

Sunday, December 4th, 2005

One of the downsides of being a nerd is that you become very enthusiastically interested in things. And when you’re enthusiastic about something, you want to share that enthusiasm with others. But no one ever cares about what I’m interested in, so I have this huge unfulfilled need to share everything I enjoy with other people.

Thankfully, I’m very, very good at ignoring unfulfilled needs.

Finally, we geeks can celebrate!

Well, we thought it was all over after the Matrix and Lord of the Rings trilogies were over. There were no other upcoming good, geek-friendly movies coming out. Sure. Star Wars Episode III was coming out, and even though it has a cool title (”Revenge of the Sith”), most of us have written it off after Episodes I and II.

We were wrong.

Check this out. It’s the teaser for the upcoming film version of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and it looks great! Let’s hope it turns out as awesome as the teaser, because if it does, 2005 will be a good year for geeks.
