Yes, I'm hopping on the that band wagon of creating nicknames for the wallop of two storms that covered the region. I am, as well as millions of others, Snowverdosed! Tell them you saw it here first.

With all of the time off from other jobs the past few days lots of studio time has been exercised. I ran in to deejay and producer William Hicks on one of my breaks walking to get a brew in the neighborhood. We talked shop including comparing notes on our different remix versions of Lazerbitch's "Coquette", software, hardware, CD length mixes, and podcasting. He has recently joined the world of podcasting to get his mixes out there. You can check out his first installment here:

Not to be outdone, here is the follow up mix to Afro In My Locks called Locks In My Afro.

Some of you may know that in addition to going to my podcast directly (linked above) you can subscribe to my podcast for free in the iTunes Store, keyword search "mgrooves".

Don't forget, Lust4Life is this Saturday night. And of course we head over to Deep Sugar afterward.

So have you made plans for New Years Eve yet? I know. It's over priced, over crowded, and generally a pain in the rear, right? Well, it doesn't have to be.

Scandal residents Fugami, Kochi, and myself will be rockin' in the new year at Gazuza. Already, 2010 is shaping up to be an interesting year and I, for one, am quite excited. But for this show you better be wearing good dancing shoes. NYE 2010 Scandal Style at Gazuza is quite reasonable and stress free. Check out the details here...

So I went to the movies this holiday season and I finally got my chance to see Avatar. After the flick--which I really enjoyed, by the way--I decided to look up some of the actors and actresses in the film. Why? Because I'm a geek and I've always done stuff like that--for the record, I'm a computer geek, car geek, useless information geek, and I used to read the dictionary (page by page), just to name the few of my geeky qualities.

And boy did the celebrity crush meter ping off the charts with miss Zoe Saldana. Ms. Saldana, born Zoe Yadira Zaldaña Nazario, in New Jersey, has also been trained as a dancer (ballet) as well as an actress. The other movie she most recently starred in was the revisionist Star Trek as Uhura.

However, not only did she have an interesting background and experiences (see: Zoe Saldana on IMDB.com), but she's an admitted Sci-Fi fan. Sci-Fi fan? Yes! She has also apparently said, "I am actually! I'm very proud to say I am a geek. But I'm kind of a cool geek." Geeky-cool? Hmmm... sounds good and familiar to me.

And on top of all that, she is credited with this quote:

"I tend to be very picky, so I look for the perfect man! So if Spock and Kirk can mix, they'd become my perfect man. That's the kind of guy I'd go for. I don't only go for muscles, I don't only go for brains. You just need to have a little bit of a bad boy and a geek and then you've got the perfect guy."

Shazam! I think I'm in love!! Or at least as I said at the top, I have a very strong celebrity crush. This is not only the type of personality that usually interests me, this is also the attitude that really gets my curiosity piqued! A hottie-geek who loves geeks too?! I would be all over it, or at least I would get over my initial shyness...

Now, if there were a way to get Ms Saldana my contact information... LOL!

How about you all? Who's your recent famous person crush? And especially you geeks out there, who are your favorite celeb-geek crushes and why?
