About Me
I am a nerd, blogger, and Whovian who enjoys practicing my stand-up comedy on the unsuspecting public. I love reading books, watching movies, and anything having to do with Firefly or Doctor Who. I go total fan girl at times. I Internet stalk my favorite dancers on SYTYCD. I can recall faces and names of random people who have caught my eye and who continue to show up in my favorite movies and television shows. People like Mark Sheppard (Firefly, Medium, Supernatural, Warehouse 13, and Doctor Who), Kevin Durand (Dark Angel, Dead Like Me, Butterfly Effect, 3:10 to Yuma, and Smokin’ Aces), or Christina Hendricks (Firefly, Life, and Mad Men). I love connecting random pieces of trivia, and often excitedly exclaim over these connections to my friends. They usually just look at me with sympathy for my weirdness. Hey, if I have to suffer how my brain works, they do too.
And now you can also. Aren’t you lucky?
I have an extremely eclectic taste when it comes to geekisms. I love searching the internet for random factoids and I really love sharing my tidbits of information with other people who don’t so much have the inclination to be up until one in the morning watching a YouTube video about a Sucker Punch and Disney Princesses mash-up. After months of posting Nerd Links of the Day on Facebook, I decided to move my tidbits over to this website per the requests of friends. I am still not quite sure if they were eager for other people to hear my comments on popular geek/nerd culture or just wanted me to stop posting so much nerdy stuff on Facebook. Either way I still post everything to Facebook, so hopefully it was the former.

I think I may be a nerd as well. Hmm, I never really thought that way about it, but a lot of the things you like, so do I! I call myself eccentric so maybe what I really am is eccentrically nerdly. Sounds fun! Sounds like a club I want to start.

Jami Zehr @http://absurdlynerdly.wordpress.com | April 7, 2012 at 12:17 am
Eccentrically nerdy sounds like a great club. I’m extremely eclectic in what I like, people seem to understand that when I tell them I’m a nerd. Or rather, when my other friends explain that I’m a nerd. Welcome to the club.

Glad to be part of all the fun that you create.

I agree! Your site is quite funny, I too have a disconnect between what my brain says to do and what my body does. Also, I have an evil right hand. I once accidentally flung white out all over my keyboard. It was my hand, not me! I swear.

Gemma | May 22, 2012 at 9:07 am
Aw thankyou!
Haha at least I am not the only one with such a curse 
Damn body doing what it feels like, I think you’ll have to keep a close eye on that evil right hand, who knows what it is plotting next! 
My right hand has a sick affiliation with pain, it likes to get in the way and burn itself every time I am cooking

Who! Brilliant! Bow ties are cool. So are Fez’s. I’m almost tempted to nominate you for my Regenerations Award on the spot, despite never actually reading a single post you’ve written. Yet.
I will.
Promise.
Maybe later though because it’s almost 2am and even a Timelord must find the time to sleep… although, if you sleep for 7 hours, wake up, get the TARDIS to go back in time 7 hours and basically carry on from where you left off, could you, in fact, never miss another moment again???
Hmmmm…

Wow.
As long as there is sleep in there somewhere. That is where I do all my time traveling after all.

Any Firefly fan belongs on my reading list! From one nerd to another,…..[thinks to himself “What the heck is the nerd motto? or is there one?” ….keep on truckin’
16.
Jami Zehr @http://absurdlynerdly.wordpress.com | July 20, 2012 at 9:57 pm
Thanks for reading and commenting. I think the nerd motto is whatever fandom interests you the most. Maybe, “Everybody dies alone” or “Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!” Hmmm, I can’t seem to think of a positive often quoted Firefly line. lol

This is the second time this week that Firefly and Serenity have popped up in interwebs conversations. I’ve got the whole season and the movie on DVD, I guess I’m gonna have to watch all of it now. I’ll try to pull an obscure quote (probably something goofy, like one of Jayne’s lines) for a motto, LOL

Kip Light | July 21, 2012 at 2:26 am
IMDB to the rescue, from “Mr Universe” in Serenity : “From here to the eyes and the ears of the ‘Verse, that’s my motto, or it might be if I start having a motto.”

Jami Zehr @http://absurdlynerdly.wordpress.com | July 23, 2012 at 9:06 am
Poor Mr. Universe.

Kip Light | July 23, 2012 at 5:45 pm
Yes, that movie was filled with pain for me. That’s what I liked about the show and the movie so much was that you got to know the characters like they were real people and were joyful at their accomplishments, angry over their frustrations and mourned their passing as if they were friends or relatives.

Just came across your blog from Allie’s Pro Tips blog. I’m not much a Dr Who guy, but I do like the other geeky references!

I try to have a little of something for everyone here. But I am partial to Doctor Who.
