Girls and boys that like geeks, you may be interested to know...

Blizzard Entertainment recently moved down the street from my work and now every time I go out to eat for lunch, there are long haired, ruddy faced, chubby nerds. Everywhere. Lerking around inside every restaurant, whether it be deli or fine Peruvian cuisine.

So you are saying I need to move. Hmmmm.

Honestly, I think Irvine is the best city for nerds. It's clean, it's boring, it has a lot of right angles, but the roads are curvy and complicated. It also has tons of Asians, UCI, Google and Blizzard.

Ok What city do you work in, I would love to see the offices of Blizzard

Byron said, (744 days ago)

Ok I'm going to have to take a drive through Irvine, I am looking for a new place to live.

Irvine, CA

The offices are at Alton Pkwy and I think Laguna Canyon. One nice thing though, when I'm out walking around, I never ever see the nerds walking around. Apparently, nerds are opposed to the outdoors/exercise/the sun.

But does it have woodland areas where sweet martial arts moves can be practiced with PVC swords?

Alexis said, (744 days ago)

@Jesse: I used to do that.

jessehattabaugh said, (744 days ago)

@Alexis: that's... awesome?

Alexis said, (744 days ago)

@Jesse: Yeeaaahhh... why wouldn't it be?

jessehattabaugh said, (744 days ago)

@Alexis: cause if you had really been into it, you'd be a full time ninja by now. I smell a quitter!

Mrs. Cakes said, (744 days ago)

Jesse, no. In Irvine they use real swords.

@ilikedginger , Yes We Geeks are afraid of the sun and we may hurt ourself if we do anything physical. But mostly we are hiding at our desks using the spycam mounted on the remote control car. to follow ladies on there walk.

Speaking of Blizzard and nerds, I'm gonna be heading to the Art of Blizzard charity auction in Alhambra on the 8th.

Luckily it's indoors at night. I plan to bring my fat person scooter to avoid the exercise.

Aw, I love Nucleus. My friend Neil works there, it's lovely.

Mrs. Cakes said, (744 days ago)

@byron, I believe this with all my heart.

Alexis said, (744 days ago)

@Jesse: well after many years and countless injuries, yes, i am a quitter, but I am a certified bad ass.

Tim said, (744 days ago)

@ginge, Is this the kind of gallery opening, do you think, where there will be copious amounts of free booze?

Mrs. Cakes said, (744 days ago)

@tim, doubt it.

Mrs. Cakes said, (744 days ago)

It has a big decorative gate in front of it. Looks like a magical land... which I'm guessing during their breaks, they roleplay and pretend it IS a magical land.

@Johnny: I'm attacking the darkness!

@Jesse, Alexis: Do you wish to challenge my kung-fu? Back in the day, I was pretty badass with a PVC sword. They called me the...um...something with 4 letters, I think.
