And this blog totally reaffirms my awesome nerdy way of life. Plugging: The Park Bench. Celebrating the girl nerd way of life with news, features, reviews and general musings on all things nerdy.
They have a Nerdy Man of the month which just- yes. Michael Cera! Nathan Fillion! Stewart and Colbert! All of whom make the little heart behind my pocket-protector go pitter-pat.
To the above I would like to add James Roday and Dulé Hill, stars of my new pet obsession- Psych. I've been watching the episodes in order and I think I may have a crush on the entire cast. You know that a show is good when its website makes you laugh just as much as exchanges like-
Shawn: Simba... I am your father.
Gus: Mufasa never said that.
Shawn: Mufasa, Vader, it's all James Earl Jones .
And, you know. You get the in-jokes and feel proudly geeky.
So. James Roday should be added because he's a theatre guy with a theatre background, who co-runs a theatre company in L.A., and theatre guys are oh so slightly more geeky. He's a writer. He's really, really, really funny. Plus, his character is just the most charming, incredibly joyful person on tv right now with a photographic memory (which, hot!).
Dulé Hill needs to be added because he's a West Wing alumnus and has an awesome name. And his character is the epitome of adorable nerdiness. Spelling bees, 6th grade accelerated law classes, the SuperSmeller(tm), Astronomy, Comic Books, Super Stealth Powers... and that's just the first ten episodes or so.
But the Most Important Thing that qualifies them for the nerd hall of fame- when the two of them share a frame, the HoYay meter cranks up so high it orders Apple Martinis and indulges in surreptitious foot-tapping in the restroom.
And just as a treat, one of the most awesome scenes in the series, ever. Gus and Shawn compete in 'American Duo'.
So, anyway. The blog. It is good. And Liz totally shares my digust for Sex and the City, which, thank you. SatC is just one of those TV shows that I wish had never been made. Like Two and a Half Men. Which, considering I've watched Ferris Bueller 6 times solely for Charlie Sheen's two-minute cameo, should tell you something about the depth of my hatred for that show.
I can't work on my essay, I'm too busy falling in love with fictional private-eyes. Later.

Oh dear god, yes. My bad. Sleep deprived-typo. Fixed now.
My opinion of the show remains the same, though.
