Amphigouri: varnished nonsense

So, screw all the things I had queued up that I wanted to post before this; this is a 30-second post, those ain’t.

For the record, I’d be one of the librarians peeing myself. Well, maybe not peeing, but definitely giggling.

This morning I woke up early, snerking at a still-fresh dream. I could be hip, suave, and svelte, in my dreams — in the past, I’ve even been able to fly — but no, these day’s my subconscious still knows I’m a nerd.

In this particular episode, after a chain of odd-and-unrelated events, I found myself in a bar talking to a reporter-type that was friends with my brother. As I recollect, this “reporter” was rather Veronica Mars-esque (complete with cool cap similar to this thing that i totally want to learn to crochet… but that’s for another post), though tended rather a lot more toward the entertainment/tabloid end of the reporting scale rather than toward the NYT. She was bemoaning the fact that she was having difficulty getting an interview with Patrick Dempsey, despite being at some function-or-other where he was in attendance.

Hah. I have no idea from whence that nugget came; perhaps related to an ad we saw recently for Dempsey’s newest movie, and the fact that I follow Wil Wheaton’s tweets and have his latest book on my bedside table (which I’m enjoying as much as I did his previous books). He’s also a big ol’ geek (which you already know if you read his blog), and a McGeek like that, particularly one who can write so eloquently, and with such humor, about tech & geek life, trumps a McDreamy any day of the week.

Today’s useless online quiz:

Which Peanuts Character Are You?
	You are part Charlie Brown. You are always optimistic and persistent, and everyone appreciates your simple sweetness. Sometimes, however, your anxieties get the best of you, and life’s mysteries can confuse you.
	You are part Schroeder. You are brilliant, ambitious, and brooding; you tackle tasks with extreme focus. People don’t always interest you as much as other pursuits, though, so you can come off as aloof.

Nobody ever accused me of having a sophisticated sense of humor.
