Further proof that I'm a huge nerd.

So I've been wanting to share things that I love and/or find interesting. Here's a short list of what I'm reading/watching/playing right now:

Reading:
The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan - Right now, I'm a little over half way through this huge epic storyline and loving every second of it. Granted, Jordan gets a little tedious sometimes with his descriptions of every mundane detail of a character's attire, however the basic plot and world more than make up for it. Well worth picking this up.

Y The Last Man - Okay, granted, I'm not technically reading this, because the last issue just came out and finished up the storyline. If you're not put off by the whole "comic book stigma", please give this a chance and pick it up. It is a story of Yorick Brown and his monkey, Ampersand, who are the last living males on Earth after a plague wipes out anything with a Y chromosome. I think there will be a movie about this in a few years.

Watching:
Stacy and I are currently re-watching season 1 of Battlestar Galactica, which was an awesome gift to me by a really cool friend of ours. She's absolutely hooked now, so it looks like I'm going to have to pick up the other seasons before the new one starts later this year. While it is set in space, it has quite a bit more appeal to the non sci-fi nerd than other shows like Star Trek and the like. Highly recommended.

(This should be its own sub-section) Video podcasts:
Diggnation: If you're familiar with Digg.com, you probably already know what Diggnation is. The hosts basically read and talk about some of their favorite top stories on Digg every week, except they usually do it while drinking/drunk. Which tends to make the shows quite amusing.

Geekbrief.tv: Their tagline is "Shiny Happy Tech News" and it's absolutely as advertised. Most of us are interested in tech, but the people that would normally host a show about it are completely uninteresting and boring. This definitely isn't the case with Cali Lewis and Geekbrief.tv!

Experiment of the Week: Okay, I feel like such a kid when I watch this show because it reminds me of watching Bill Nye the Science Guy when I was a kid, but it's a great weekly science lesson. Who says you stop learning when you get out of school?

Lynchland: Remember "United States of Whatevah"? How about the Sifl & Olly show? Liam Lynch was the creator of both, and now has a video podcast where you can see more of his skits and songs. You also might see cameos from Queens of the Stone age, Tenacious D, or Alex Albrecht from Diggnation.

What You Ought To Know: This show is exactly true to its name. It's a humorous look at things you ought to know. They've done subjects like how to avoid or waive various fees and what credit card pick, to subjects like the weird things that are in food that we all eat.

Wine Library TV: Gary Vaynerchuck makes learning about wines fun and is easily the most energetic wine reviewer you'll ever see.

Playing:
Hotel Dusk-Room 215: For some reason lately, I've been obsessed with point-and-click adventure games, and the DS is a great place to play them. I'm not very far into Hotel Dusk yet, but it looks very interesting from what I've seen so far.

The Legend of Zelda-The Phantom Hourglass: I'm going to be lazy here and not really tell you much about this game. I'm almost done with it and every keystroke I type is a millisecond that I'm not spending finishing it.

World of Warcraft-Come on, it just hit 10 million subscribers. If you don't know what WoW is, you've either been under a rock or are over 50.

You know, this turned out to be alot longer than I thought it would.....
