Do you have your towel at hand? Today is both Nerd/Geek Day and Towel Day! So lay back and relax! Wrap yourself in your towel and sleep under the stars of Kakrafoon, or for those of your looking for a bit more adventure – engage in hand-to-hand combat with your towel or use it to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal. Whatever you like, you big nerd – this is our day!
10 Nerdy/Geeky things I have done in the past 48 hours:
1. Yesterday I saved confused, lost caterpillars from the hot tennis court by scooping them up with a leaf and put them back on their trees. To be fair, we were at the tennis courts to play tennis, not just to save caterpillars.
2. Last night I caught myself singing “Oh Doggy Dog” to the sound of Shenandoah. To the dog. More than once.
3. The Hubby flies his pirate geek flag in Michael’s on Sunday:
4. I wrote a blog post about Geek/Nerd Day and Towel Day. And a facebook status update.
5. I staged this photo specifically for Towel Day. With my leather-esque bound omnibus of The HGTG.
6. I’m a gal who knows where her towel is.
7. I know that CONvergence is less than five weeks away. I either lose geek points for not having a costume in mind, or win points for being anxious about it.
8. This morning I whistled “Hi Ho, Hi Ho it’s off to work we go!” as I walked to my car *and* I didn’t get embarrassed when my neighbor caught me doing it.
9. I played Anatomy Quiz and checked out the NASA app on my iPod Touch this morning. Before 8am.
10. I changed all four of my desk calendars when I got to work this morning (Dilbert, Bunny Suicides, Sudoku, and Words of Wisdom for Women).
Fess up! What are you geeking out about lately?

One of my commenters let me know that saving tent caterpillars was perhaps not the most ecologically-smart thing I could be doing with my day. Then I read this: Thanks, MPR. Now my guilt is complete!
