So I leave San Diego in 2 weeks. I've yet to pack remaining clothes and supplies in 20+ lb boxes, and meanwhile friends who are already in college are writing out essays and working their brains to death like it's the junior year of high school again. Friends who are high school seniors are frantically getting to their college applications, and friends who are high school juniors are finally getting a taste of academic hell.

Meanwhile, I have little…

In which John discusses his Vidcon experience, thanks his brother, and announces that you (yes, you!) need to read Part I of Ray Bradbury's FAHRENHEIT 451 by next Tuesday to prepare for our discussion in the Nerdfighter Book Club.

Vidcon was amazing. Thanks to everyone who was there,…

Along the way he visits places that were important to him and to the made-up people in his novel, including the Spui Square,…

In which John talks about the tour de nerdfighting 2012 and how much awesome can be packed into a single auditorium. The awesome song everyone's dancing to is "Shake-a-Booty," off of Hank's great album Ellen Hardcastle: http://dftba.com/product/y1/Ellen-Hardcastle-CD

1)  My April break really consisted of me sitting on my ass and watching 43 episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist on Netflix instant play. All my (3) friends were busy, and I was too lazy to call them to figure out a plan. I did venture outside a couple times, but they were mostly to walk the dog and visit my grampa in the hospital. I did buy new nerdy glasses frames, and they should be ready in a week. But yeah; I actually did SO MUCH NOTHING that I'm surprised I haven't developed a…
