I can’t believe I spent my birthday weekend at the fabulous Playboy Mansion and still managed to be a nerd about it.
One thing some of us actors do to earn extra money over the Halloween season is play improv characters or dress up as monsters for Halloween parties, haunted houses, and the like.
I personally haven’t done this type of thing in years, but when invited to do it for said mansion, I decided to get back into it, because…
1. I would get to go to the Playboy Mansion.
2. I would get to go to the Playboy Mansion.
3. It sounded like a lot of fun.
4. I would get to go to the Playboy Mansion!!!
I appreciate everyone who sent me emails, MySpace comments, and smoke signals to wish me a happy birthday yesterday. I really appreciate it. You all are such wonderful friends, even those of you who I only know from your profile picture or AOL Instant Messenger icon (why does my new friend look like Rainbow Brite?)
Some of you have been asking what I did for my birthday. I will tell you in blog form, but the “experience” is still continuing tonight, so I’ll put it all together in one blog soon. I would give you a hint, but this “bunny” has to “hop” out of here, so I’ll talk to you soon.
Doing this website and videos have been loads of fun. I love it. And now it’s nice to know that others love me, too, just like people love New York (the state, not the VH-1 “celebrity”).
Here are some hot blogs about black culture, nerd culture, and even Gremlins fanatics, that had great things to say “about your boy” (Is that how rappers say it? Or is that that movie that starred Hugh Grant?)
If you’ve seen my first vlog, “I’m a Black Nerd,” you know that at some point in my life, I’ve owned all the Nintendo systems… NES 8-bit, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Game Boy (Green-Screen, Color & Advance), GameCube, Wii.
I’ve owned every Nintendo system except one… not counting Virtual Boy because only 14 people owned that, I think.
And now my collection is complete. My roommate went to a taping of Deal or No Deal, and was surprised to find out it was a Christmas-themed show and they were giving away prizes.
Unfortunately, you have to pay taxes on everything you get, so she declined a lot of stuff (what is a black woman going to do with a Howie Mandel bobblehead, anyway?)
She called me up to tell me what she kept… a Roomba vacuum and such… then she said, “Oh, and I got this thing, I don’t know if you’d be interested in it. It’s a DS something…”
I pig-squealed. She had a Nintendo DS, and had no idea of the awesomeness she had!
She was planning to sell it on eBay, but after some intense negotiating and bartering, she got one of my old laptops (remember kids, a nerd always has a spare computer around), and I have the end of my Nintendo collection.
Oh wait, I guess I still have to get a Game Boy Micro, huh? But why?
This has to be one of the most fun games I have found on the Internet. You are shown a very close-up, blurry picture of a, let’s say “emotional,” look on a person’s face, and you have to guess whether it’s the face of a High School Musical star in mid-song or an adult film actor’s face in mid… um… let’s just stop at mid.
