Need to see another store on the list…let me know!

* I don’t believe in Wal-Mart, so if you grocery shop there, you’ll have to find out about the specials your own self!

Wait a minute…what happened to “Nerd News…Week 7″??  Well, I haven’t been nerdy at all lately!  Two full weeks have past since my last nerd post and seriously, I am shocked, SHOCKED at how “normal” my life has been these last few weeks.  Work has a lot to do with it.  When I was with Fathead, it was all sports and entertainment al the time.  At TOMCAR, well, it’s all about cars and off-road and military and heavy industry…so focus shifts.  And with Lil’ Baird in the picture, the time to sit and play a game for 12 hours straight, or plow through my comic books or even just surf the interwebs as been greatly reduced.

So here was what little nerdy things I was able to come with during these last two weeks.

• “LOST” continues to rock.  I completed LOVED this last week’s Saywer ep.
• I picked up a little Indiana Jones figure at Toys R’ Us when we were getting Lil’ Baird a bouncy.  It’s the classic outfit from “Raiders” and he has a pistol, whip and fertility idol.  I have given him a place of honor on my desk.  It is too bad that “Crystal Skull” sucked so bad, because these toys deserved a chance.  Hasbro did a real good job with them.
• “Burn Notice” ended it’s third season this week and it was a doosey!!  Season four starts back up this summer.  One of my guilty pleasures and it has Bruce Campbell in it!!
• I did watch a bunch of “The F Word” when I got home from Chicago, eight episodes.  They were all from 2007, but I don’t care.  I am developing a man crush for Gordon Ramsey.  Not the U.S. version, but the REAL Ramsey on BBC America.  Also watched two episodes for “Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares” from BBC last night as well…it’s literally night and day his delivery back home vs. what FOX does to his shows here.
• I HAVE NOT SEEN “WATCHMEN” YET!!!  More of Lil’ Baird ruining my life*…we are going to try to see it this week…just need a sitter.
• And finally, I have rediscovered Ebay…to my own peril.  I was a junky back in the early days, buying just about my entire collection of 12″ Star Wars “dolls” on Ebay.  I hadn’t been on in about 2 years and suddenly found myself back last week.  I got to surfing around and ended up bidding on five things, winning three!!  One was a really cool 1980’s “Return of the Jedi” action figure case in the shape of a Stormtrooper rifle.  It still has a KayBee Toys price sticker on it and is in great shape.  Also picked up a Hallmark ornament that I missed three years ago (Imperial Guard) and a set of misc. figures from the late 90’s.  More stuff for the collection…now if I’d just buy the rest of my shelves, maybe I can show it off.

*I may love my baby, but I am not above callin’ her out.  NOTE: when I say things like this…please note that I am a sarcastic ba$tard.
