Want to celebrate Geek Pride Day, but have to work? Don’t panic, I’ve prepared some tips so you can enjoy the best day of the year!
Hi, I’m Snappy, HostGator’s official mascot. This is my first post on our blog, and what better way to start writing than by talking about my favorite subject: Geek culture!
You’ll probably agree with me when I think this is the best time to be a geek. This is our moment of glory!
The rise of pop culture has brought all things geeky into the mainstream , and now it’s become fashionable. Some people aren’t special database entirely comfortable with this idea, but I, for one, think it’s the best time in the world.
We can start by talking about movies; films are getting better and better; incredible productions are hitting the big screen frequently. This year we’ve already seen the release of Avengers: Infinity War, Deadpool 2, Black Panther, Tomb Raider, Ready Player One, Han Solo, and many more are yet to come.
And of course! We can’t forget the video games, comics, and our beloved TV shows that keep us glued to the couch for hours on end.
May 25th is the best day of the year!
But is it Geek Pride Day or Towel Day?
Do you know why Geek Pride Day is celebrated on this date? Let me tell you!
May 25th commemorates the release of the first film in the Star Wars franchise (Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope), which was released on May 25, 1977, and is considered a landmark in pop culture. But the story doesn’t end there.
This day also marks Towel Day , in the company must also establish deadlines for responding honor of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, a series of books created by Douglas Adams, another geeky icon. In his book, Adams claims that one of the most important items for any intergalactic traveler is a towel, as it can be used in all situations.
But, regardless of the main reason for commemorating May 25th, what matters is taking advantage of it and showing our pride in being geeks . Right?
Preparations
For us, every day is a day of geek pride; but since the official date is May 25th, there’s nothing better than starting the day off on the right foot. To do so, it’s essential to prepare ahead of time.
First: choose the funniest bedding you have . It could be from a movie you like, a game, a book, etc. I’m sure you have some sheets with fun prints. The next step is pajamas. How about wearing one of your favorite superheroes? To wake up fighting laziness.
Setting your alarm clock should also be essential. To start the day off right, you can choose a song from a movie soundtrack, like the Star Wars or Harry Potter theme, for example. If you’re interested, the movie Guardians of the Galaxy has a great playlist .
The most important thing is to spend the night before comfortably. You’ll need to sleep well, because the next day will be full of activities, and you’ll want to enjoy the day with a lot of geeky pride.
You might want to think of a way to greet friends on Towel Day: Live long and prosper; May the force be with you; Bazinga; See you later; and thanks for the fish are some of the expressions you might use.
Feeding
A good day starts with a good breakfast. It’s time to think about the best things a geek can eat to feel good, happy, and productive. There’s the RD-D2 -shaped coffee maker ; the BB-8 waffle maker ; Infinity singapore data Gauntlet-inspired oven mitts; and more. Of course, we can’t forget our geeky mugs (Speaking of mugs, if you don’t have a super geeky one on your desk at work, it’s time you got one).
As a drink suggestion, I can tell you about Blue Milk from Star Wars . It might be just what you need to have enough energy to start the new day. The famous YouTuber El Guzii shows you how to make it.
For lunch, it could be Spaghetti all’Amatriciana, Killgrave’s favorite dish from Jessica Jones . Or how about trying Sheldon’s favorite chicken from The Big Bang Theory ?
If you have a sweet tooth, Every Flavor Beans or The Simpsons Donuts can be a great way to sweeten your day.
For dinner, you could have a delicious SpongeBob SquarePants Krabby Patty ; or maybe a Star Wars-inspired burger. Anything goes on this special day!
