I work on digital house plans a lot at my job so I download books on tape and listen while I work. I 'read' about 2-3 books a week.
The lovely volunteers at the local library know my name and they smile and wave whenever I come in to check out my weekly stash of books.
As I borrowed three new books yesterday, a librarian approached me...
'Hey Rebekah, you know, you're in here so much you should join our book club!' She said with a smile.
'Uhh' I stumbled.
Did I want to cement my status as a nerd?
As if being a film major and a card carrying member of the blogosphere isn't bad enough!?
Did I want to add 'book club member' to my lengthening list of geeky attributes?
I was about to say no thanks but she quickly blurted, 'We have a $40 gift card as part of a raffle at the end of summer!'
Hmm. Maybe now I can get that 'Jacobean Visions: Webster, Hitchcock and Google Culture' series - a study that underscores the interdisciplinary thematic concerns between Renaissance Drama, the cinema of Alfred Hitchcock and contemporary digital culture - I've been saving for.
Shoot.
Did I just say that?
Book Club Member.
Add it to the list.
When all else fails...
Blame my mother.
A very happy weekend to all of you. Chris and I are heading up to Palm Springs this afternoon with our church for a retreat.
That's not geeky right?!?!

Blame it on mom?!? Need I remind you which one of our parents wore plaid with stripes (ok, I know it is trendy now...)
Although, mom is often seen with only one shoe on, so I guess it could be a toss up :-)!
As for the resort, definitely not nerdy, unless you play scrabble or something of that nature while there.
If you can't beat 'em, you might as well join 'em!
