gotta catch em all

When I was about 4 years old, I became obsessed with Pokemon. I even had my mom memorize all 151 names and pictures that I had displayed on a poster in my room. However, I grew out of that faze of nerdom and went on to play Neopets and watch Heroes, which I also later grew out of. Now I design cosplay costumes and sulk about not going to Comic Con. (sigh)
Anyways, my friend and I decided to relive our love of Pokemon by creating an awesome video that was greatly inspired by this wonderful YouTube video:

So here's our version:

Whataya think?
Because I am very very bored, here are some other links full of nerdy-goodness and such. Enjoy :)

1. Nerdometer Test -- Think you're super nerdy? Think again.
2. Project : Rooftop -- Basically, it's Project Runway for comic book artists, in which they totally revamp classic superheroes' well-known outfits.
3. Addicting Games -- While this website isn't necessarily "nerdy" it sure is fun. 
4. Smosh -- Hilarious and entertaining, Smosh has even created their take on the Pokemon theme song.
5. Awkward Family Photos  -- If you think your family can be a little strange, think again.
6. Top 25 Geeks in Movies -- Self-explanatory awesomeness
7. SP Studio -- Make yourself into a South Park character!
8. 5 of the World's Biggest (and Most Worrisome) Toy Collections -- This truly scares me...
9. Hipstery -- Want a mystery hipster shirt? 
10. Famous Mii Characters -- For when you're super, duper bored.

See ya later! :)

oh your sweater is so delightful

The holidays are here (finally) so I suppose I should talk about holiday stuff.
And boy there are a lot of things to talk about.

First of all, DOCTOR WHO CHRISTMAS EPISODE!!!

This has like NEVER happened before. By the time the Christmas episode comes to America, it usually airs around March and that's not nearly as fun as watching it on Christmas Day. I am soooooo excited.

   

In other TV news, Christmas Specials are airing on pretty much every channel known to mankind. Just last week The Office seasonal episode entertained audiences through Dwight and Jim's snowball "battle" and Michael's ongoing heartbreak with Holly. On Community, viewers got to see into Abed's complex mind through clay animation.



Ok that's enough of tele talk. Onto clothing.

Oh 'tis the season for awkward Christmas cards with awkward families posing awkwardly with awkward ugly Christmas sweaters. You know exactly what I'm talking about. In fact, you might even have one coming to you in the mail, or you have been a part of one.

Every family has an awkward family photo, and perhaps even a Christmas one. A necessary component of these conversation starters is the all-important ugly Christmas sweater. These extremely artistic pieces reflect the awkwardness a family. They've gained so much popularity, people are even having ugly christmas sweater parties.

I think it's so awesome that people are embracing the "ugly Christmas sweater" phenomenon. It is so nerdy couture. Happy Holidays, from Mika Elan. ;)

I love looking at my family photo albums. It's really wonderful to see how much one has grown through photographs. Along with being in awe of the changes through our lives, I find myslef shocked by some of the... well... erm... fashion choices from each decade (especially the infamous 80s.)
If you think your picture albums are a bit embarrassing, then you just have to check out Awkward Family Photos.
I am in love with this website. It's absoluetly FAB-U-LOUS!

Take for instance this "enchanting" couple. First of all the girl is wearing a... umm... fairy outfit? The boy, however, decided to go a bit casual with a white, semi-dressy shirt and jeans. Isn't this supposed to be prom?

And don't even get me started on that charming bowl-cut.

Talk about swanky. These boys are simply adorkable.

I must say, I absoluetly love, love, love the plaid suit. Very boss.

Wearing sunglasses inside? That just screams cool.

Taking family portraits in libraries is all the rage.

Lastly, pop the collar.

I just love corny dance photos, especially if you can tell the mom is the mastermind behind the picture.

I have to say I am really taken by these outfits. I don't know if I've ever seen a silver suit look so bedazzled.

Jazz Hands Everybody! Pose! Smile! JAZZ HANDS!!!

So here's the link to the website (which is a lot funnier than me): http://www.awkwardfamilyphotos.com/ ;)
