...But I do have a fair amount of geek and nerd culture ingrained into me.
My evening tonight started with the Faceoff Premiere, though my family made some rather...judging...comments that made me feel a bit uncomfortable. Love the show, and think this season holds promise. (My family's not impressed with half the contestants, though.)
After that, Syfy in their wisdom (and I say that with absolute sincerity! For ONCE in Syfy's life!) decided to revive their trend of showing geeky shows after Faceoff. In this case, repeats, butstill, they're repeats that I hope they keep showing every week: Geeks Who Drink is a geek trivia show (I was surprised by how much I know, and got the Isaac Asimov one!), and Reactor is basically the Wil Wheaton Show without Wil Wheaton.
By which, I mean, it has the exact same style and formula that I remember, and it is HILARIOUS. I love. LOVE. that show. I know a ton of people who're larger geeks/nerds than I ever could be, and they help to keep me in the know somewhat, so that I actually GET the humor. And even if I didn't get the reference, well, they do a good job of making me laugh ANYWAY.
I really hope I get to keep watching those two shows after Faceoff. It truly is a pleasure.
...Now I've got work to do.
