i had the best, most low-key, nerdy night at home last night. i got off at a decent time, came home and made dinner while watching music videos, then ate dinner while watching an episode of futurama with my roommate (directv/tivo is the best). then i really hit my geek stride when i fired up the ps2 and played my brand new copy of god of war, which i scored for free from work, for about two hours. jesus, is that game fun. i beat unholy hell out of those ancient greek zombies. then i did my dorky cool down by spending a little while reading comics, and relaxed at the end watching some batman: the animated series on dvd while eating oreos and milk. at the end there it was like a flashback to fifth grade, and it made me strangely happy.

side note: those batman dvd’s have to be one of the best gifts i’ve ever received (thank you mom/santa), but i didn’t even realize there are TWO MORE volumes already out there! that’s a total of almost 90 episodes, i.e. the bulk of the series, dude.

anyway, i’m thinking of repeating the experience tonight, because i feel like things have been crazy so far this year and i need a little bit of a lull, even if it’s just for this week. the real trick, though, will be finding some beautiful girl who finds all of the above endearingly cute and not repellantly lame.

but i won’t hold my breath.
