Dear Bunny,
I just went through another breakup, this is my fourth breakup with the same guy in about a year. I know that’s a lot but I just kept hoping it was gonna work out this time and he seemed like he really wanted things to work too. I know it’s bad that I kept letting him come back but I was just so in love with him. It was a lot less traumatic this time…

Geek and chic are becoming synonymous these days. I was looking at a fashion blog this morning that was praising the fashion-forward notion of horn-rimmed glasses and suspenders. And, while capitalizing on or bastardizing a culture of people who, only years beforehand were ridiculed for the same appearance seems a bit odd–to say the least–there is something to be said that now–more that ever before–it’s easy for you to look cool. And, trust me, it’s worth it if you want to get the high score with the nerdy ladies.

There are two different kinds of geeks: those that take the blue pill and the ones that take the red…and depending upon which color you subscribe to; your interaction with the world at large (and the l33t ladies within it) will vary widely.
Take the blue pill and you’ll find that you’re unable to stop talking in social situations. You may not even be conscious of it, but to other observers they can see the looong green lines of code just spilling out of your mouth without end. Take the red pill and you’re so cripplingly shy, you can’t seem to talk to anyone. You just wander thorough various social situations as an observer.

It’s hard to hold back your inner Julie Powers or Regina George, sometimes. Life is full of difficult people. Some you can avoid. But then there are those you can’t, like bosses, coworkers, clients, friends, family members, your girlfriend’s evil exes, etc. We all can’t tell an aircraft of passengers to go fuck themselves before making a grand exit down the emergency slide with two bottles of beer in hand or be even bold enough to tell a boss they’re the reason we’re quitting.
Getting signed is at the top of a lot of bands to-do lists. It marks the pinnacle of their careers, a sign that you’re really ‘making it.’ But with things the way that they are in this digital age, the whole industry structure of record labels, who historically found bands and other artists, signed them for a (sometimes) nice advance, then released, promoted, and distributed the album (or at least oversaw all of this happening)… has changed.
Dear Bunny,
I recently IM’d a friend of my girlfriend, just to be nice. I said “hello” and asked her how her weekend was. That was it. Her friend replied “hello,” but was then silent. Shortly after, I endured an hour long lecture from my sobbing girlfriend over the phone about how it made her friend uncomfortable that I would try to contact her at all, and that I needed to understand that her friends would never see me as anything more than their friend’s boyfriend, and that I shouldn’t ever try to reach out to them.

Sure, you could take a girl to dinner and a movie…if that dinner happens to be at Ninja and the movie is Predators. But, why not invite her out to something that will really catch her eye? After all, geeky girls love limited edition items…give her a one of a kind date to remember:
1. Pretend like your Dr. Who and take your companion on an amazing trip through the stars! Invite the lady out to your local planetarium or history museum–like San Francisco’s Academy of Science or Philly’s Franklin Institute — clad in your scarf or bow tie (depending on your doctor of choice) and she’s sure to swoon. (And, she may even touch your sonic screwdriver.) You’ll even get bonus points if you read up on astrophysics and can lend some geeky tidbits about the doppler red shift effect and string cosmology…after all, the Doctor’s had 907 years to learn it all. You’ve got a lot of catching up to do. Better jump in your Tardis now!
