I just got back from Amsterdam, there will be pictures soon, but until then I figured I'd share with you some pictures you might actually enjoy. It's a proven fact: nerds love Natalie Portman. We got to have her. It's in the nerd bylaws. Here are the key reasons we love her so:

1. Natalie Portman is smart. Like insanely super smart. She went to Harvard and to be honest that intimidates me more than how good looking she is.
2. Natalie Portman is indie. What this means is that she's a little different, possibly a little quirky, and for some reason we believe this makes her attainable.
3. Natalie Portman makes films geeks love. While she may or may not be a geek herself, she's in movies geeks love, namely the Star Wars prequels and V for Vendetta. Portman is a Fanboy's wet dream. She's like 8 Princess Leia gold bikinis rolled up into one.

But mainly we love her because she's hot. Very hot. She makes me feel funny deep down in my wolf gnards. The only draw back with Natalie Portman is her penchant for indie douches. Gael García Bernal, Jake Gyllenhaal, Adam Levine, and Devendra Banhart to name a few. For those of us that can't pull off bizarre facial hair, it leaves us painfully bereft of Portman.
