Of The Week

Soooo.... I'm sorry. Again. I've been busy. Again. Want to know why? I was studying. AGAIN. Stupid exams -_-.
Anyways how was everybody's week? Mine was jam-packed with Physics. Oh, it's so much fun! *cough*not*cough*

So for this week's quote;

"Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check. But that is not what I have found. I have found that it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love," Gandalf (Ian McKellen) from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.

The song is....

Lastly, the weekly facts are....

1. New research has shown that children exposed to family violence show the same pattern of activity in their brains as soldiers exposed to combat.

2. A shrimp's heart is in it's head.

3.An ostrich's eye is bigger than it's brain! (I knew it! I knew they were that stupid from the beggining! *shudders* I hate ostriches. Absolutely terrified of them)

OH! And also the Nerd Word would like to mention a big belated happy birthday to none other then the actor who brought Frodo Baggins to the big screen, Elijah Wood! We love you! 

Love your friendly neighborhood nerd, 

Merry <3

Reviews for You!

So.... I know this was supposed to be up on Wednesday and I deeply apologize for the wait. Umm. I know I should be prepared and give you guys an awesome Review/Recomendation but I'm not quite sure what to type about. "thinking..." Hmm.. Wow, this is exactly how my review thingy started two weeks ago! Gah! I'm useless at blogging.
GIMME A MINUTE TO THINK! please :3
...
Ooookay.... think I got it.

So.. I know Pip did a recommendation last week for a website, but I'm gonna do one too!

There is little website called StumbleUpon. It's a great little site where you put in your interests, and within moments are welcomed with a whole bunch of websites connected to those interests. I personally haven't used this site yet (due to not being able to go on the computer lately- but I plan on using it soon), but a good friend of Pip's and mine is talking about it all the time. She is always saying "OMG I found this amazing website on StumbleUpon!" trust me, she says that a lot.
ANYWHO, about the site. For those who love cooking, just say that you like to cook new and unique dishes, and voila! New and unique dishes will bombard you. For you geeky/nerdy folks like Pip and I just say... geeky stuff. You know... What you like.

Umm... I think I'm done. Not quite sure what else to say. As I said, I'm useless at blogging.

Well then... I'm embarrassed at my lack of ability. I think I may go and fling myself into the fiery pit of Mount Doom.

HAHA JK.

Love your extremely embarrassed nerd, Merry <3

Of The Week

I'm going to tell you all about my week. First, I woke up. Then I ate Breakfast. Then I had Second Breakfast. Then I had Elevensies. Then I had Luncheon. Then I had Afternoon Tea. Then I had Dinner. Then I had Supper. Then I read. Then I went to bed. Every day this happened. (To an extent). But why you may ask? Well I shall tell you the reason. I was getting ready to go and see......... THE HOBBIT!!!!!!!!!  Yes! Last wednesday, I FINALLY got to see The Hobbit. I had been waiting to see it since I first found out it was going to be made into a movie. And when it came out on December 14th I was extatic. I wanted to go see it sooner but alas, I could not! But I tell ya, it was so worth the wait!!! Here's why I love it (don't worry no spoliers)

• The cinematography
• Cast (So beautiful)
• Plot line
• Music (I was defiantly transported back to Middle Earth)
• Crew
• Director (Peter Jackson is my hero)
• Setting
• Script
• Action
• Basically everything about it :D

I am so antsy until December when "The Desolation of Smaug" comes out. And then next summer when "There and Back Again" comes out!! EEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKK



Okay, I suppose I should get on with everything....


Your quote I have been saying in my mind since wednesday, "I'm going on an adventure!" -Martin Freeman (Bilbo Baggins) from none other than "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey"




And your song is one of beauty and magnificence :D "Blunt the Knives" from The Hobbit composed by a true musician, Howard Shore.

And here is the trailer, for The Hobbit.. cause I'm cool like that. :)

Here's the other one :3

Okay so that is all for today... I love you all!!!! Have a Hobbity day and go on an adventure!!! :D -Pip

 

Recommandations

Hey y'all! How has everyone's week been? Again I am sorry for the late update but I've been really busy. So I've decided to tell you guys about this really cool website call Pinterest! It's also an app so I encourage you to check it out.

What it is, is, a place where you can go and upload photos and videos of anything you want. IT IS NOT LIKE FACEBOOK! Just had to clarify. You can search for basically anything and a bunch of different "pins" or posts will pop up.

There are also many different "boards" which are usually catagorized. There are many catagories such as the usuall, gardening, heath, animals, ect. But, there are also some amazingly unusual boards such as, geek, science and nature, history, celebrities, and so many more!

It such an amazing website. One warning though, one look and you may find yourself addicted. That's what happened to me... I also got Merry on it!! HAHAHA :D


Well, please take my advice and look it up. The app is free too!! So, have a nerdy day!! -With love, the freak, Pip <3 :)

Of The Week

Well hello again! How have you been? I've been great... Been doing a lot of 3D modeling.... but you know what? it's fun! Seriously. You guys should try it. Just download this program called Blender... and you're all set to animate 3D objects!
ANYWHO off to the cool stuffs.

The song of this wonderful week is "Daylight" by Maroon 5.

The quote is....

"You can't stop bullying- it's part of human nature.If you were bigger and more stupid you'd probably be a bully too. It's called 'survival of the thickest'." Neil (Tucker Albrizzi) from ParaNorman.

And because I enjoyed this one too...

Mitch (Casey Affleck): "You don't need to be hanging around weird people, okay? That's a tip."

Neil (Tucker Albrizzi): "Don't blow this one for me, Mitch. This one's not weird. He talks to dead people."

 Now the Nerd Word is starting something new this week everyone! Along with the normal quote and song, we will be adding an "Of The Week" FACT too! Cool, huh? Yes I know. It's so cool that you fell off of your chair.... or stool.... or whatever else you may be sitting on. So to start off the new thingy, here is your first fact!!! :3

The fact is....

The University of Florida has an emergency plan in case of a sudden zombie attack. And another university (or college... I forgot which) has it's dorms named after regions in Lord of the Rings. Pretty cool, huh?

And one more thing before I say goodbye,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ORLANDO BLOOM! <3
We love you!

Okay.. well goodbye people! May the force be with you!
<3 Merry   

Reviews For You!

Hellooooooo peoples. Whats crackalackin? ... I really shouldn't have said that but oh well! xD So... before I get to my review/recommendation of an awesome game I'm just gonna rant a bit about something, namely called "my phone". I hate it some days! Have any of you ever had the problem where your iPhone deletes everything on it? Like, contacts, music, videos, apps, and then says it's "to full" to download anything onto it? Grr... thats what happened to me, PLUS it was acting up saying that I had no service when I was smack-dab in the middle of a humongous city. -_- If something like this has happened to any of you and you know how to fix it PLEASE (I beg of you) PLEASE email me your suggestion! (thenerdword96@gmail.com)

*deep breath* Okay! And onto a review! :3

So I know this is a day early, and Pip did an update yesterday, but I don't care! I felt like doing an update.

So... Have any of you heard of this awesome game called...

???

If you have, YOU ARE AWESOME, and if you haven't then you will soon be enthralled by the horrible explanation I am about to do about this freaking AWESOME game. I love it. I... I don't really know how else to say it. lol

Reasons Why I Liked This Game:

1. Great graphics. They were very realistic.
2. The story line for single-player is awesome. Brings some insight about whats going on and how everything came to be.
3. The robots from single-player and co-op are all entertaining. The little phrases and gestures amused myself and the other player I was gaming with.

How Could It Be Improved?

1. Valve could have made it so that the player knows where to go when in the wide open spaces and how to get there a bit easier. I got stuck A LOT farther on in the game and I was confused on what to do. 
2. ... Umm.... I don't know... I think I'm done in this section. CARRY ON.

Soo... Portal 2. Great game. No shooting, just a strategic game. Good for those that love mind puzzle thingies. I liked it. Now I just have to finish the first game. ... Sweet!

Umm.. As I said, that was a horrible explanation, but please try it. You may find you like this game. Actually you will like, that's guaranteed. 

Have any suggestions of games/movies/t.v. shows/ comics or anything else for us? PLEASE we welcome all suggestions! Just email us the name of the thingy with a quick little blurb about what its about and we'll check it out! 

email: thenerdword96@gmail.com

Hope you peeps enjoyed!

- Merry <3 :D

A Review For You!

So, first of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I hope that you all had a great first week of 2013! May your year be awesome.

Second, Happy Birthday to my favourite author ever, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien!!!! He was born in 1892 on the 3rd of January! I have so much to say about him that I will just send you a link and you can read it yourself, http://www.tolkiensociety.org/tolkien/biography.html. There ya go! Also a huge Happy Birthday to my Grandpa Jack! (He's an amazing artist!) Warm hugs and wishes Grandpa!


Now, let's get down to buisness. Yesterday my wonderful cousin and his wonderful girlfriend introduced me to an amazing show. Unfortunatly it had only one season but no one knows why considering that it is FANTABULASTIC. So maybe you heard of it, Firefly? Now I'm not very good at recomendations so just bear with me. It has a great cast featering Alan Tudyk and Summer Glau. It's sci-fi yet the music is somewhat Celtic. I love it! If you like Star Wars or Star Trek or Sci-Fi or awesome shows, then Firefly is for you! When you're done with the one season :'( watch Serenity. It's a movie based on the show!!!


So, until tomorrow, uhhh I tried thinking of something great to say but I couldn't say anything..... Bye :D -Pippin
