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! :)

Wow. It's been a looooong time.

Ok, so as you might or might not know, I love kidrobot. This store contains not just its own merchandise, but also numerous other artistic toys, clothing, bags, and books. One of these other labels is Friends With You.

FWY is an amazing company. The Miami-based artists that created this brand have done an outstanding job promoting Friends With You through toys, art, apparel, film, and events. If only I could go to Miami and see Rainbow City, an art installation in Miami's Design District, or go to Taiwan to see the massive Field of Dreams art piece on the side of a building in the city of Taipei.

And to show how much I love this brand, I even have my very own Malfi toy. ;)

band geeks

Have you heard of Silly Bandz? Well prepare yourself for the latest fad.
I'll admit it, even I have gone crazy with these awesomely simple rubber bands.
From as cheap as a dollar to as expensive as five, Silly Bandz have taken over the world.
Many kids have literally COVERED their arms with them. Don't believe me? Check out the website: http://www.sillybandz.com/photoweek.php
You can get Silly Bandz shaped like superheroes, animals, sunglasses, and other random things!
Sounds silly right? I mean, they're rubber bands shaped kinda, but not really, like objects!
There's a reason why they're called "Silly" Bandz.
