You tape the superbowl so you don't miss your weekly DnD game.
You fast forward through the game to watch the commercials.

The second isn't particularly geeky (or non-geeky); it just means you like commercials and don't like football (somewhat unusual, at least if you're an American male, but not really geeky or non-geeky).

Oh, no. If you're a US male and you don't watch or like feetball, you've got some geek points. Of course, I like NASCAR, so I go and lose those geek points right back...

It's my birthday. I just turned 40. Went to bed at 9:00 am because I was up all night on the internet after playing D&D for six hours with my friends.

I had chocolate cake for breakfast.

My parents gave me three gifts today: A white short-sleeved dress shirt; a pocket protector; and Joseph T. Shipley's The Origins of English Words. And I'm happy because they didn't give me any plaid socks this year!
