Happy #BlooperBriday: 'Friends' Edition (Blooper Reels from the TV Show)

a while back, my staff at my day job and i came up with an awesome, simple, and always joyful way to celebrate the onset of FRIDAYS... by assigning one of us to find an AWESOME and HILARIOUS blooper reel on the web, and sharing it like viral wildfire via IM to anyone who felt a full blown TGIF coming on.

in honor of that tradition, i present to you, dear friends, a blooper reel that always makes me laugh: one from the 90's sitcom Friends. happy #BlooperBriday to you too. :)

oh, and as a bonus, here's a post that i did in honor of Gene Roddenberry's birthday last year containing none other than some of my favorite Star Trek bloopers. double happy #BlooperBriday to you all.

cheers!

NerdAlert: My name is Daria, and I am a Domain Name Hoarder.

that's right, i said it. for a long time, i've had this secret problem with coming up with what i deem to be clever URLs/domain names, and when i look them up on godaddy and they are available and reasonably priced, i buy them. and then, sometimes i do something with them, like i did with this blog and my SundayLA site, and other times, well, i just have these names sitting there.

but this, my friends, is not a case of that! this post has dual purpose: first and foremost, i bought a new domain name for this blog. i've never LOVED the fact that "knows" is at the end of this blog url, because when i say it out loud to people sometimes they think i mean "nose". and of course, just plain geekgirl was never available to begin with, so recently, i purchased geekgirldotcom.com, and with the redesign of my blog to a full blown site in the works right now, i wanted to come to you guys for a gut check. vote in the poll below and let me know what YOU think!

which URL do you prefer?

and the second purpose of this post was to give you guys a sneak peek of what the new site will look like. i was so stoked at finding this amazing new web design tool that is TOTALLY free, that i was inspired to redesign GeekGirl. so in the meantime, here's a tiny sneak peek at what the new site will look like, and i promise that its inaugural post will be about this rad website design software is, and how easy it is to use!

until then, cheers!

Coldplay+Electronic Wristbands=Most Amazeballs Concert Ever

Video I shot of #Coldplay concert in Chicago, performing "In My Place." 

Complete with awesome electronic wristbands that light up to the music.

And yes, that's me screaming. But look at the wristbands. :)

So, recently i went on a work trip to Chicago, a city which i ADORE. I realized that while i was there, one of my fave bands, Coldplay, was playing at the United Center. It was kismet. i HAD to get tickets.

Now, i've seen Coldplay live probably at least 2 times on each tour (so about 10x total). to say that i'm a superfan would be to understate my excitement for their music and performances. but this concert was different; it contained something i had NOT seen before. and now, concert has forever changed for me going forward: the electronic wristbands. 

Today is Gene Roddenberry's Birthday Y'All! Let's Have Some Star Trek Bloopers!

Eugene “Gene” Wesley Roddenberry, aka “The Great Bird of the Galaxy”, would be 91 years old today

TrekNews posted this lovely article in honor of Gene Roddenberry, the creator and visionary behind Star Trek, and who's son, Rod Roddenberry, now runs Roddenberry.com, formerly a proud sponsor of this here GeekGirlKnows.com blog! (oh, and he also produced Trek Nation, an awesome documentary about Trekkies!)

And to celebrate Gene, let's all have a laugh. I know it's not "Blooper Briday", but in honor of today's special birthday, here are some bloopers from various Star Trek films and TV shows (there are 3 total, 2 are after the "jump" when you click "read full post" at the bottom). Since Gene Roddenberry's remains are out in space, orbiting earth, I have a feeling he's looking down on us and feeling the love and laughter radiating from the surface of this tiny, blue dot that we call Earth. And Home...

PRODUCT REVIEW - Necomimi Brainwave Cat Ears: The Cat's Meow?

This is the debut blog from my new blogette, Yvonne! (@Yvonks), reviewing the product and a launch party that we went to together at the SoHo House in Los Angeles this past Friday night. Enjoy, and make sure to give her your feedback! Cheers. 



When you're invited to a launch party for this product:

In my opinion, you don't ask questions. You RSVP with the faith that if nothing else, you'll end the night with a good story tell. 

Meet @Yvonks, My Hot New Blogette!

Everyone, let's welcome Yvonne (aka @Yvonks), my new blogette, aka, another fresh POV on all things Geeky proudly brought to you on this blog.

Yvonne, at the Necomimi Brainwave Cat Ears Launch Party with me Last Week

Yvonne is a bright, young mind, with lots of quirky interests, most of which we share. (Except for her strange love of Jackie Chan. Who I respect, no doubt, yet I'm not obsessed with him as she is). But never mind that. I hope to bring you lots of great posts written by her (which will be tagged @Yvonks) as we expand the GeekGilr power here on the blog.

Stay tuned later tonight for her review of the kooky product on her head in the above photo. Yes, I have a pair too and stay tuned for my review shortly to follow.

Here's to a fresh new look and feel for GeekGirl.

Cheers!
GeekGirl (aka Daria)
