Shae's Geeky Summer Checklist

There’s a 100% change that if this week doesn’t end soon, I may actually lose my mind. But that’s okay, because I have one more night of work left and then it’s a weekend…filled with a long list of stuff I need to get done. Hi guys! Did you like my last blog? Talking about the things that I am totally excited to watch over the summer? Yes? Good, because you’re kind of getting a part two today. Why? Because, listen, the blog I was originally going to do is on my laptop…which is at home…which is not where I am right now. So, you know, it’s the little things in life. That and, well, it’s hard to do a geeky gifts without the countless hours of research that goes into one of those. Which is already done and not being re-done. I mean, I could, but I love you guys a little less than doing that. And, well, time is always a factor.
 
So, things that have been getting me through this week also include watching movies with my favorite actors/actresses in them. Because you can never have enough eye candy in your life. Ever. Unless you’re secretly one of those gorgeous people, who works out, has abs, and stares at themselves in the mirror. Don’t worry, I’d be staring at you too if this computer wasn’t between us. I’d also probably touch said abs…because, listen, abs? That got weird…this is why we’re family! Things get weird and you still keep reading, because deep down inside, you think I might be remotely funny. We all know it’s true. So, tonight, I had the chance to sit and watch Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters. I don’t care what anyone says, and I will fight you over this, but this movie is awesome. Mostly because I say it is. My love of Jeremy Renner doesn’t hurt…It’s just a fun movie. And then I was like, oh my God, I love fun things! And my train of thought lead me here. Shortly after realizing I left my laptop at home. Yes, it took me 6 hours to figure that out. Fun movies are happening and I talked about a few in my last blog, but I mean, there’s also games and stuff coming out, right?

Like the new Batman game….of which I…totally won’t be able to get…because I lack a PS4…but hey, listen, I can still be excited for it. Summer is all about relaxing, enjoying the sun, or hiding from it, and just chilling out. The bonus side to this game coming out is all the YouTube people who will record themselves playing. It’s like getting a chance to vicariously live through them. Also, I do plan to finish a few games this summer myself. I have this habit of things taking me forever to do. I don’t even have an excuse, except adulting gets in the way (whoa, guys, that’s totally an actual word!), but finishing games will literally take me a year, if not longer. Same with reading books sometimes. Still haven’t finished The Hunger Games for that reason.

Enough with indoor stuff! Let’s talk about…more indoor stuff. Because, reasons. And kitchens? I like being able to be relative in the kitchen and one of my goals this summer is to learn to cook better. It’s been a great debate for some time, and while I can bake, my cooking abilities are lacking. They’re getting better; mind you, I haven’t caught the kitchen on fire in a few months, but, you know…life goals. Do you guys remember being kids and making Kool-Aid popsicles? You get the little ice trays and fill it with Kool-Aid and then put a toothpick in it and a few hours later, boom! Something tasty? Well, I really want to try doing that this summer, but with cool nerdy ice cube molds. It just seems like something fun to do, and really, with all the backyard BBQ’s I’m not going to get invited to, and pool parties that people will have without me, this just seems like a fantastic, nerdy, fun treat. Which is also what I want to explore. Making food more nerdy. You can’t have it nerdy enough, guys! You can’t!

Lastly for the day, I’m really looking forward to my trip to Disneyland. Now, it’s their Diamond celebration (which I just learned while looking at tickets) and that means it’s a special, wonderful, time of year. I haven’t had a Disney fix in quite some time, and I really am just looking forward to getting my Disney nerd on. Imma hunt down every Disney character I can and get a picture with them…because reasons. And buying stuff. Listen, I feel like Disney is a convention, in a way, I can’t wait to hit the shops and get pictures with people. The only downside, is that I can’t dress up. Which is very fair, I’d have way too much fun doing that. Just think of all the nerdy things I’m going to buy…all the things! And with Star Wars and Marvel now owned by Disney, the amount of really cool stuff at the park has, literally, exploded….I can’t even comprehend how awesome this trip will be. 

Either way, these are some of the things I'm looking forward to getting done this summer, and I'd love to what you guys have planned too! If you want to share, tweets us, email us, comment here and let's all share in the nerdiness! Enjoy your summer everyone!
