How nerdy are you?
This week Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons, died. A whole generation of pasty dice-obsessed nerds owes him big time. Me included.
So, in his honour, how nerdy were you? Are you still sunlight-averse? What are the sad little things you do that nobody else understands?
As an example, a B3ta regular who shall remain nameless told us, "I spent an entire school summer holiday getting my BBC Model B computer to produce filthy stories from an extensive database of names, nouns, adjectives, stock phrases and deviant sexual practices. It revolutionised the porn magazine dirty letter writing industry for ever.
Revel in your own nerdiness.

It's tricky
I'm dreading/excited about the forthcoming adaption of The Time Travelers Wife. I love that book so much that I will HAVE to go and see the film, even if I know it won't be like I imagine it to be in my head.
Some books just shouldn't be touched. That's why I pointblank refused to go and see Atonement. I'd rather eat the book, lightly toasted with a sprinkling of shit on top, than see Keira Pout Knightly attempt to act scenes from it.
