This is one of those blogs I really hope any girls I might be trying to date don't read. Actually, I would hope they would read it, and be as geeky as me, but I am a realist... so Kaley Cuoco, go ahead and stop right here.

I went and saw the new Transformers finally. I was entertained, as expected... but my favorite parts were transparent appeals to the nerds of the world. Casting Firefly's Alan Tudyk is genius for any movie hoping for approval from the Comic Con element of society. Especially in a comedic role, and especially if you are going to let him play it with a ridiculous accent. Even more so, having Nimoy do a voice had me, and other Trekkies everywhere smiling... and I wasn't the only one in the theater to geek out at "The needs of the many..." line. I love movies that throw in little stuff to make us nerds of the world smile.

Similarly embarrassing to my admittance to having geekcred, I went and played Laser Tag again last Wednesday, and loved it. Nothing quite like getting together with some fellow nerds, laughing on the inside because they actually play D&D, where as I am much cooler than that and just own TNG on DVD, then walking away incredibly sore but proud to have won 5 of 8, and taken second in the other 3. For the record, I was playing mostly against others who are chronologically adults. Also, for those I played against, pwned.

Since I am talking about stuff I enjoy that no one I expect to read this blog does, I am quite happy with my St. Louis Blues recent free agent signings. If David Perron gets healthy... we really have a shot at not just making, but going somewhere in the playoffs, with a little bit of luck as far as injuries. And once we are in the playoffs, if Halak gets hot... I will be riding the high of the Blues winning the Cup for a solid year after they do.

Well, I will try and be more clever next time. Apologies to everyone who doesn't know the difference between a Klingon and a Wookie. BTW, sign that Trekkers are winning the internet over Star Wars fanboys... Klingon doesn't have red "You spelled this wrong" lines under it, but Wookie does. Keep going boldly, my fellow Trekkers!
