The Inner Geek

posted in This Little Blog |

My Roomie’s pointed out that my posts of late have been slightly more academic…more intellectual…more content filled then usual.  I half-heartedly protested, but was convinced when Rommie said, “Listen, I like them too much, okay?” 

When your brilliant, academically bent, seven year grad student, PhD candidate, former Harvard Law roommate tells you she likes your posts too much, you know it’s time to worry.  So I apologize.  I apologize for venting about the direction of the Supreme Court.  I apologize for raving about words I love.  I apologize in advance for the uber-geeky (but hilarious!) Christmas cards I bought and may or may not actually get around to sending out. 

I try to contain my inner geek, but sometimes she sneaks out.  Like at the holiday party I was at today – where I jealously eyed someone else’s white elephant (gag) gift:  a DVD documentary of the 1893 Chicago’s World’s Fair.  After having read Erik Larson’s The Devil in the White City, I find the 1893 World’s Fair fascinating.  Enough so that I ended up stealing the DVD at the end of the night, forcing me to face a fair* amount of derision from the other guests.

* Um, no pun intended.  (Okay, okay, I intended to make the pun – I’m sorry – I need help.)

P.S.  In an attempt to get my posts back on track, I should note that I spied this beautiful Michael Kors bag at the party.  I saw it in the bag room but never did find out who it belonged to.

    It’s not so much disappointment over the lack of comments as the disappointment over the fact that not everyone’s excited about “polymath” as I am. Anyways, per new leaf, I’m refraining from posting about Tookie, the death penalty, and the aptness of Schwarzenegger’s Terminator moniker.

    Don’t stifle your inner geek too much, or you’ll end up like Edward Norton in Fight Club. Only this time your alter ego will sneak out and work for H & R Block and clean up your apartment.

    I agree with what you probably have in mind about the Governator, but I’m trying to avoid political commentary in case my brother finds this blog.

    Yes, the consequences will be dire if your brother starts spewing conservative commentary on my blog! If your brother does stumble onto My Life however, I’m counting on my superficial prattle to be a sufficient deterent. =)

    I loved polymath, because it was used in a newspaper article the other day and I knew what it meant because of you.
