IRONY: HIS NAME IS ADMIRAL ACKBAR

Without belting a familiar Alanis Morrissette tune (although I reeeeally want to right now), I will state that it is indeed ironic that I host a game show called Anime Trivia Trap and clearly associate one nerdy entity with another one—and a magnanimous one at that, hence the above video. Every time I push “play” = 14 seconds of LOL joy. This nerd is warmly embraced.

#knowyourmeme and stay proud, peeps.

ROAD TO ANIME ST. LOUIS

6:25am: Boarded the Megabus to STL. Super-quiet and peaceful ride thus far. So happy that their Wi-Fi works smoothly so I can…well, post stuff like this on Tumblr. Ah-hyuck.

Blatant self-plug for the wired otaku out there: Come check out Anime Trivia Trap this weekend at Anime St. Louis at the LaSalle Ballroom at the Gateway Center in Collinsville! Tryouts at 3:00pm and the game begins at 4:00pm. Connect with me on Twitter at @AnimeTriviaTrap for trivia, updates from the road, photos, convention highlights, and more! See you today, friends!
