Mom and dad went to a pow wow today. Dad spent a lot of time talking to one fancy dancer which he then told me all about (a Blackfoot). There was another dancer who had a tattoo from shoulder to wrist that spiraled around his arm in Elvish or so dad thought.

Me: that's possible or Klingon

Dad: No, it was Elvish, like on LoTR. I know what Klingon looks like and this wasn't Klingon. (pause) That says a lot about me, doesn't it?

Me: Yes dad.


Speaking of geekery, I didn't feel well enough to truck all the way to Huntington to use up those Borders Bucks from last time but now you can use them on line. Oh good. I picked up enough Manga to qualify for free shipping. The weird thing was 07 Ghost #4 was for sale but NOT in stores (and it's backordered in spite of coming out last month). Is really wondering why. Betting that it didn't sell well enough. It's getting a little annoying this year. It's getting harder to get NEW manga. They're only carrying the big sellers and while I get that they need to make a profit, I'm surprised they're not expanding just a bit.

Lol @ you and the Elvish. I know it by heart in all three movies, or at least most of it. XD

Wait, 4 is out? I haven't even seen 07 Ghost 3 out yet! This area sucks when supplying anime/manga and I think they've given up on this series. Hence me relying on the streamed anime episodes. *sigh* I do want to buy this one SOMEDAY.

that is awesome. I used to dance at powwows, and I have been a a couple in the last few years, but I wish I had the time and money and energy to dance again. *sigh* those were good times.

I do loves the Elvish/Klingon discussion. It made me clap my nerdy hands in glee. Too funny.

Yay for more manga. Need to go read the new chapter of Loveless online, but I hate reading things in tiny chapter bits.

*clicks eggs*

Radar (the military nephew) is a geek, but we don't get to talk about it very much. :(

I knew he was a military history geek but not the comic book/sf geek (he's more into movies, I think, than the actual reading of, but still).

Yes, we were playing Scatagories and I claimed "Bad Horse" for someone notorious - which Radar promptly and happily backed up for me. :D

Best dad quote ever!

Glad you got new manga. I might redeem my credit card points for an Amazon gift certificate (which would then become new manga).

*giggles at the Klingon vs. Elvish* conversation.

I have to admit, they're pretty easy for me to distinguish as well.

yes they're pretty easy to tell apart
