Siskoid Radio: Geek Out! - April 28th

"If you've named your kids after character from Battlestar Galactica, you might be a geek..."

True story. When I used to work in a medical clinic, I handled files of all the Rodriguez kids who had names like Apollo, Athena, Starbuck and... Superman. Little Superman Rodriguez would be around 25 now. Episode 13! I can feel the bad luck voodoo already (why do my shoelaces keep getting untied?). Technical difficulties next? We'll see. As I write this we're a few minutes before it all starts. If you couldn't listen or understand my Frenchie French French, I supply the episode's playlist, with You-Tube links where available.

Game of Thrones is tv for me at this moment. Did you see the birth of /////////////.

Game of Thrones is a good recommendation.

I'm gotten pretty deep into each of those recommendations, and they're probably the DVDs that most come out of my collection for friends to borrow.

I'm current with GoT. And yes, pretty whack!
