Becoming one of the nerds

Last week I read my friend Jesse's blog to find out he had something in common with Dwight Schreut...He loves Battlestar Galactica. It made me chuckle, "oh, Jesse falling for another bad TV show". Then later in the week my roommate Abinadi was watching it too! Now Abinadi is a sucker for all sorts of TV shows (Scrubs, Bones, House, Grey's Anatomy...well ok, I don't think he actually watches Grey's, but you get the idea). But on Saturday while I was sitting down in an attempt to read some more of Ayn Rand, I found myself catching a little peak of the show every now and then, but before I knew what happened it was 2AM and we were half way through season 3. I realize this is not what one would consider great television, but wow...I'm hooked.
And Dwight isn't the only nerd who I have a common interest with, I cracked up this morning when I found out Greg Mankiw also likes Vampire Weekend!

Speaking of things I'm addicted to here are a few songs I have listened to about 3,785 times in the past week.
Flobots
Paul Simon (I think I've watched the whole Central park concert about 47 times...it's just sooo good)
Pretenders (The original was good...but this is even better)
Okkervil River (My favorite songs aren't on youtube, but I'm obsessed with all of their music)
New Pornographers (My new favorite band...I can't stop listening)
