So it took me a week or so, but I finally realized that in my post about pets, I totally spelled Betta fish “Beta” fish… like beta testing. Which is pretty much what my hubby does for a living. Which is where my mind is. So our fish are not Chinese Fighting Fish, they are nerdy test fish. (And by the way, testing isn’t going so well, because they just all kind of die eventually.)
And more of the nerd-stink rubbing off on me? I’ve been walking around for days singing “Still Alive”, the end song to the sweet spacial intelligence challenging game Portal. If you have no idea what I’m talking about — if you’ve never heard that song or you’ve never heard of that game — it’s okay. It means you are not a nerd. I, on the other hand, am becoming a nerd via osmosis. I bump up against my husband and I get a little smarter (which is nice), but then I invariably start talking about nerd-ish stuff. Even if I don’t want to. Because I sort of hate that song!!
…but I 5-starred the vocals to it on Rock Band…
on Hard mode.
uber-Nerd.
In truth, though, the game came out last fall and I’m just now singing about it. Hard Core nerds were singing it at Thanksgiving. At least this is what I tell myself as comfort… while I practice my Rubik’s Cube algorithms.

that game looks awesome… I need to return my nerd abilities, I didn’t even know about it until now.
