Ultimate Geekdom

My Dad obviously doesn't share my enthusiasm of Star Wars Pocketmodels! Yikes!

GEEEKS!!

Muhahahaha i have coerced my sister Leah to cross over to the dark side of SWPM!!

Here we are!! The coolest kids in the church!
Im obviously the most excited one... these other guys are serious gamers!

S&V, here is the collection i was getting together for game night
Scum and Villainy

Yes Tom... this is ridiculous!
And this is just the top part of the tackle box
Heres the bottom contents
getting fuller!!!
Ahhhh Scum and Villainy... i actually don't have room for them all yet in my box...

Note the really cool red Star Destroyer... its the Errant Venture... Pretty sweet if you ask me!

Oh and don't forget the two Slave 1's, each in a different flying position.

Our Future Geek

Well my wife just asked me if I blog about our baby that is coming in... "how many weeks honey?" 27 weeks!

I said to her... "Uh, no should I be?" "I mean seriously whats more important? our baby or a new member of the Geek Squad?"

But here we go.
OUR baby is now 13 weeks along. We went last Tuesday to our first meeting with the Midwife. She was highly recommended by our friends T and L, and J and C. They all loved her and said she was great. So our first meeting obviously was full of pressure on her! Good thing she didn't know about it! We liked her too and even in the initial meeting she gave us some good advice and answered some questions we had been discussing together.

She then got out the little "thingy-mabober", Jason or Rhianon could tell you the clinical term for it, and put the COLD jelly stuff on the end of it and went to work trying to find the heartbeat.
-Sidebar here a friend said this is the part he hates the "hmmm-ing" and "hmmm-ing" when they can't find the heartbeat makes a person very nervous!-
so that did happen... lots of hmmmss and nervousness and then finally~~

A very fast little beating heart could be heard! WOW what a feeling seriously!
That God would entrust to us a child is a privilege beyond words anyhow, but to hear that little heart... that little life growing inside Rhianon was indescribable... and here i am trying to vainly do just that!
Anyway it was awesome and quite a day and a bonding experience for us.
JOY JOY JOY!

Oh and the heartbeat was 160 and for all you superstitious people out there Rhi says that means its a girl. Ha silly people! You can't name a girl Han Chewbacca Kimmel.

SO yes this post is not soley about geeks and geeky stuff... but its about the future of my geeky heritage!

Faithful Readers

Look at the pure joy on my face!
Could I be any more excited?!?!
What great geeky sisters!
So supportive to all my Geeky endeavors!

Sorry all you Faithful Readers who have been disappointed by my lack of posting these past few weeks. Its been pretty busy around here with baby talk and the holiday and my BIRTHDAY and trying to finally finish my Math class!! And its pretty busy at work lately so that takes up alot of my time... arranging my schedule, staying late, etc...

So here are some updates for you all.

Lets see... on the 4th of July I played some with NW and CT, the game was delayed and then later canceled due to other activities taking presedence.

Later that evening we played some games with LW, CM, TK and RK and that was fun! We flipped from Pompeii (which involves throwing people into the volcano!!!) and Pandemic (which involves saving the world from diseases and outbreaks and infections!!)

Then I spread the Geeky love at church and gave one of the younger guys (NK) some extra SWPM that I had, he didn't have any yet and Im all about starting them young into the Geek Club. The look on his face was priceless! Makes it all worth it!!!

Now his mom is hounding me for good resources for cheap (good luck!) SWPM!

Still waiting for my shipment Mrs. K!

Hmmmm oh yeah then Rhi and I had an open night and stopped by a friends house and played GOA!!!!! love that crazy game!

And learned a new game that I plan on buying for my sister!! It was a fun easy quicker game... and quite humbling since you play as many rounds as there are players and each round you get a different persons hand from the previous round... it basically shows you how bad you did when someone else won with your hand that you lost with. Confusing? yeah it took us a little while to get used to it.

Then I played NW and blasted him outa the water with my MMP objective! He was beating me pretty soundly until I played that, and then I just started striking his objectives one after the other. He is getting to be a much better sport... to my face at least. He shook hands and said good game so... He's a cool kid!

Then on my birthday my wife took me to a Comic Book and Toy show. It was pretty much full of guys who either don't shower, still live in their Mom/Grandma/Dad/Brother's basement, don't have a wife, or were just plain cool like me! We walked around for a while and I oohed and aahed at all the cool toys and collectibles and comics and packs of pocketmodels. I bought a few packs of SWPM S&V at a pretty good price and a few SW comic books to try out and see if they are any good. I read the first one about Yoda (or as some call him Yogurt) and it was pretty cool!

Then yesterday as you can tell from the above pictures my sisters surprised me with my birthday present... 6 packs of Order 66 SWPM!!!!! The funny thing about it?

I bought a box of them a while ago and opened a few, sold a few more and then saved the rest... well then I sold them to my sisters so they could give them to me! AM I A GENIOUS OR WHAT!!??

Anyway that brings us up to now... but my mom said she would get me the next release of SWPM for my birthday (Clone Wars is supposed to come out at the end of July!)

Thats all for now. Im diligently working on math at night so it may be a while before I post again.

Oh and I found this shirt on ebay and thought it was hilarious!

New Recruit :)

oh and the book caleb is reading is a Star Wars and Science book (really cool)

Well i've got another recruit to the Star Wars Pocketmodel Armada. She is already a member of the Geek Squad since she can be seen reading Japanese Anime and playing her Nintendo DS lite.

So join with me and please welcome RACHEL WATERS!!!! She and Caleb came over Sunday night after church, sidebar: my dear friend Caleb is leaving us for Bible College in Florida :( i will miss him lots!!! Back to our regularly scheduled program of GEEKINESS!!

So I convinced her to play a game with me. She was very intrigued and thought the concept was super cool and the ships were really neat.

And she purchased some packs from me to give to her little brother for his birthday, he sounds like an up and coming Geek Squad member also; after opening his presents he went back to playing his Lego Star Wars video game.

Here are the pics... oh i just looked at the pics and forgot to mention that i got out my little Yoda figure and he reminded me that "do or do not, there is no try"
