Everything Walking Dead!


Here it is, the new season is upon us! Tonight! And I am on the West Coast but watch it in HD, so I get to watch it at 6pm! BOOYAH! I mean, I can't watch it then, because my son is awake and it might be a tad inappropriate, but whatever. He's seen zombies before. We are all obsessed in my house.

You know what I am almost more excited about than the Walking Dead premier?? NATHAN FILLION on Talking Dead immediately after! WHAT?!? Castle/Mal/Nathan is the best ever!






Ok, with that done and over with. Onto the Fun! In celebration of Walking Dead season 4, here are some of my favorite memes! Enjoy!

Weekly LOLs: October 11th

Welcome to my second week of Weekly LOLs. That is, my favorite memes and things I have seen across the internet (thank you George Takei!) Here they are this week, for your viewing pleasures...



This isnt funny, but necessary :) Because we ARE the Harry Potter Generation




Truer words were never spoken. Simon Pegg is a genius. I have always embraced my nerdiness, especially when it WASNT cool! (Hey, how many chicks know D&D rules, thanks to COUNTLESS hours watching and playing video games as a child, of which I have my mother and stepfather to thank)



TURTLES RULE! And its Leonardo, my favorite turtle!! 



OMG I used to play countless hours of Tetris on my computer as a kid to procrastinate doing my homework. This is almost disturbing...ALMOST...makes sense tho to the macabre....




MATH HUMOR! This stupid shit makes me LOL



Ok, this is just awesome, my son playing with a Tardis and looking badass while doing so. 


I completely agree with Sheldon, I hate weddings! I even hated my own. I think I only had one to appease the masses



Superheros against iPhones!! (well, technically this is iPhones against Superheros...technicalities..)




Because Star Wars rocks and we all love Obi Wan. Score 1 for Luke


More Star Wars!! Oh, but score 1 for Darth...



YES, give me Aragorn any day over Prince Charming!




Right? you know you would be suffering....




This is not funny, its just awesome! This is in honor of me getting the original Turtles on Amazon this morning.  Scoot over honey, your in the way of my Leonardo Turtle pillow! WANT! 




Now, Here we pay homage to the fact that WALKING DEAD returns this Sunday! TOMORROW!

WALKING DEAD!



I am so glad she's dead.


Ok, Technically not a Walking Dead image, but I haven't posted a pic of Nathan Fillion in a while, so it was necessary...

Oh, and plus he is the guest on this weeks TALKING DEAD! BOOYAH! I think I am more excited about that than the actual show! 



And this is a pic that my lovely sis-in-law got us for Christmas last year. I am determined to have the whole collection on our walls ASAP! 




I heart Glen and his lack of puberty!


Oh ya


SO true


Ok, I have a ton of these so I think I will dedicate a whole new post tomorrow to the return of the Walking Dead! SEE YA THEN!

Weekly LOLs: Oct 4th

SO, I usually only post memes that make me literally LOL, not figuratively, like doubled over at my computer desk at work whilst my office mate looks at me oddly laugh-out-loud. I compile my favorite ones and VOILA, for your entertainments...


Yo momma mixed with the greatest wizards of all time? SURE!



This one especially hits home for me because I am the worst sore loser ever. People refuse to play with me... I alleviate my sore loser issues my simply refusing to lose!



This one is an actual text sent from my friend Melissa to her husband...I immediately made the effort for it to go viral. I did not succeed, but they made it into my weekly Meme list!



HAHA - Ok, Harry Potter book titles for the literature challenged (aka, Americans). Since they had to change the title from its original British "Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone" so simplify it for us dumb Americans, some genius decided to just translate all the books! 
(BTW, if you need a list of the original titles to compare with the "new" titles, then get off my blog. You are clearly not nerdy enough to be here)



EPICEPICEPICEPIC



I am not a science person, but my general knowledge allows me to understand the joke, while still enjoying the witty pun. 


This is in no way nerdy, it just made me smile. 



You know you  thought it. Wait, scratch that, you know you SANG it!



I have a new appreciation for Europe. Think Russia would be offended if I decided to visit St. Petersburg, MORDOR??? No really, it is a personal goal of mine to live in Hobbiton and the Shire. Hell, throw Bree in there too! 



Because new weekly Meme week isn't complete without ZOMBIES!!





Hope you enjoyed! And if not, well...its not like I wasted too much of your time right?

Author Spotlight: Jennifer Armentrout AKA J.Lynn (for the "adults")



Simply speaking, this author is amazing. She has many books of many genres, but that mostly fall into the YA paranormal/fantasy realm (Duh, just look at my blog thusfar). However, she also delves into quoteunquote adult literature (YUM). The thing in common with most of her books is they involve some sort of bad-ass female (a must, in my opinion), some totally swoon worthy male lead (yes please), and the BEST PART? Wait for it….

Keep waiting….

This is the major selling point for me….

NO FUCKING LOVE TRIANGLES!

 

Ok, let’s be real. At some point in most books there has to be some sort of emotional conflict. I get that, and her Covenant book series toys with a love triangle…but it is never brought to full fruition like many YA books that make the female look like some wishy-washy, weak, wet willowy wimps (like the alliteration? I roll with it), and the males look like domineering, stalker, obsessive compulsive morons who have nothing better to do than fight primitively (not physically fight, that would show some strength and manhood, but fight with vicious JEERS and STARES and NONSENSE) over their one and only beloved woman…No I am not hinting to a particular book series (what that word for dawn? Dusk? Not quite dark? Sparkly? I digress).

In terms of writing, Jennifer “J.Lynn” Armentrout writes in a very relatable way. It is easy to read without being elementary. Plus, she uses quips and phrases that are just funny and sarcastic (hmmm, methinks I like that style). I mean, with a quote like “holy alien babies” it has to be good right? The writing keeps you entertained the whole time, even if there is a lull in the plot point (which there rarely is).

Dual POVs. Awesome. I have never personally been a fan of books with a male point of view, mostly because I am a female, and can relate to female thinking. However, dual POVs is awesome because you get the same brilliant story, told from a completely different perspective. One of the greatest things about Miss J is that she has short stories told from the male POV of some of her most memorable book scenes on her website. So when you have finished reading the book, and have to wait forever and a year for the next one, you can satisfy your urges by visiting her website and reading her stories, adding fodder to your already expanding obsession (which you will be, obsessed that is, which also happens to be the name of one of her ADULT books).

PLETHORA to choose from! This woman must never sleep, because she has a lot of books! I only discovered her back in beginning of 2012 when she had 2 major series she was writing (Lux and Covenant), and now she has tons! All of her books are great, no matter which universe you are in, and each series explores new topics, genres, and themes, while still staying faithful to what makes her style unique.

I have read a ton of books these last 2 years, after taking an almost 10 year hiatus from reading. JLArm is the one author whom I love and look forward to each and every one of her books, like always pre-ordered and anxiously awaiting delivery status.

BOTTOM LINE: If you like YA or Adult fantasy, paranormal, or fiction, try her books. They are great! Individual book reviews coming soon!

Its been awhile...Here is some Nerd Fitness



Yes it has been a while. I have been really trying to start my personal training business, while still prepping for competitions and being a wife and mom, while working full-time for the Military...I am not busy at ALL..../sarcasm. But I miss this, my secret little joy, my clandestine nerdisms, my thing that is MINE and nobody elses in my household (except maybe Robin, my roomate/manny/friend).

We all need to hold onto that little piece of us, so here I am, putting off writing a fitness blog, article, training a client, training myself, etc. so that I can post this lovely picture of Daniel Radcliff (see my hot nerds post), with Malfoy seemingly staring viciously at his junk (thanks Matt for that one, I shall never unsee it now!)

May I add that I can bench more than Malfoy?  (we are just going to pretend its him, even if its not). Just putting that out there ;). Peace out MuscleNerds! I will be back because I have about a zillion /notsarcasm book reviews I have to write!

FAKE NERD GIRL MEMEs...Whats so "fake" about it??

We love the nerd girls, fake or real. Don't be a hater! :)

It's really just absurd.

People are allowed to like *some* elements of a culture. In fact, this happens all the time!

So instead of accusing people of being posers...

HAHA...sarcasm is my best friend.

Just stop.

And to all those out there who have been accused of being the 'fake geek girl'...



Thank you!
