Hola, geeklings! I hope you're all doing well tonight. I know I'm a bit happier since I a) finished slogging through a book I was finding a bit tedious, b) started another new Star Wars book (which may also be tedious but not so much as the first, which was both tedious and a bit pointless) and c) just finished watching season 4 of Big Bang Theory. That show is hilarious! Unfortunately I'll have to wait for season 5 to come out on disc before watching it (we don't have actual television at our house, just discs and Netflix), but we're consoling ourselves by watching Downton Abbey for the time being.

In celebration of starting the new Star Wars book, I've got a set of all GFFA (that's "Galaxy Far Far Away" for those not familiar with geekish parlance) picks to share this week!

From the top left:

• Star Wars cupcakes (including Darth Vader) at Cupcakes Take the Cake.
• Star Wars origami (via TheForce.net)
• Awesome letterpress Star Wars cards at Dingbat Press.
• A look at the Knits for Nerds book at Zakka Life (I seriously need to learn to knit).
• An amazing Death Star cake at Bit Rebels.
• The reveal of the cover for the upcoming Timothy Zahn Star Wars novel, Scoundrels. Supposedly it'll be an Oceans 11 style heist story- fun! Here's a look at the full cover:
  
  
  
• These DIY terrariums are a cool way to show off your action figures.
• Star Wars character sculptures that fit in the eye of a needle. Really!
• Some zany rejected concepts for Star Wars merchandise.

Until next time, geek out, peeps!
