The Introspective Geek

Random Geekery: 

I brought my dinner into the crafting room to sit down with my computer, eat, and use the interwebz.  In my right hand was my bowl of chili, and in my left hand was a perfectly ripened pear.  I put the chili down on the TV tray that had my laptop on it, and plopped the pear on this red and gold throw pillow on my futon.  I sat down and looked at the pear.

It looked so regal, sitting there on the scarlet pillow with its gold embroidery.  So official.  And somehow, it required an anthem.

So I hoisted the pillow into the air and sang out, "Genovia, GENOVIA!!!"

And my wife looked at me like I was on crack.

She might be right.

So, I needed some new clothes, and bought a few new t-shirts and Henleys.  You know - just comfortable casual stuff that I can wear without having to think.  I tried on the large and XL Henleys, and the XL was a bit too baggy, so I bought three larges.  Wore one last night, and it fit perfectly - that nice balance between fitted and loose.

Then I ran them all through the laundry.

Now, they're snug.  Quite... fitted.  And I was all o.O

So I walked into the sewing room  with my incredibly form-fitted Henley and asked my wife how bad it looked.  And she said, "Well, now it looks like you're channeling Zach Quinto, rather than Chris Pine."   And I'm even more o.O

The intent is not to look like a specific person, but I *am* preferring to go for the Straight Male look.  Mostly because that's what I kinda like.

And that's when she said, "It's not like either look is bad.  It's just that Zach is all, 'I'm obviously gay but we just don't discuss it publicly,' and Chris is, 'But of course I'm straight... *wrist-flip*... DUH!'"

At that point, I lost it, and said, "I need to put that on LJ."

So... there are your Sunday LOLz.  And now, I'm off to the store to get a size larger.  :p

My work here is done.
