Blatent Digg Steal #1332432533

Let's just agree on this one thing:


Let's also agree that Hitler has the best 'tasche growing abilities of the three.

He may even give Obama a run for his money when it comes to a rousing speech for the masses...

Too soon?

Bathroom Feng Shui

This is a phrase I need to add to my lexicon. This letter to Starbucks is priceless:



In other news, this is my 250th post and classes start tomorrow. Never thought a)I would get this far! and II) be excited about starting classes. Getting back into a routine is going to be nice. My guess is this attitude will change around the first time I hear the word "assignment" or "integral." Given that my first class is Fluid Dynamics... that shouldn't take long at all!

Sesame Street from Hell

Yes, this is a blatant ripoff from a Digg comment stream, but damn is it funny. First, it seems everyone's favorite cookie monster is suffering a relapse.

If you think that is really unsettling (it is) but mildly creative and funny, wait until you see Tickle Me Elmo (on of my favorite toys ever by the way) on fire!!!

1 Picture = 1,000 words

It must be an exponential growth rate on (dPicture/dWords), because these four say at least a billion. Maybe even a million. [/subtle Austin Powers reference]




Not trying to get all sappy or anything, but this will probably stick in my memory the most out of all the pictures and shit.

That and CNN breaking the "Obama Elected President" headline the second the California polls closed. That was pretty cool too....

Ya know what's really hard?

Eating grapefruit without a grapefruit spoon.

Ah,the joys of college.

Observe:

The greatest grapefruit-spooner ever.


Yours truly.

In other news, interviews for co-ops are done, just writing the thank you letters (maybe I will use the ones I bought for graduation and never filled out, woops) and waiting for a call to go. And I also finally got my camera back from the sister unit. So I got that goin for me....

On Vacation

I don't suck as bad as you may think I do. Back to the beach.

The crap stolen-wireless I have to make this post isn't allowing me to upload anything in the way of pictures like I planned.... so I'll get back to it sometime... stay tuned

I gotta get my weight up...

Literally and figureatively.


Figuratively

As I anticipated, with the end of the school year came a sharp decline in the will to do anything involving, well, anything. That has basically included this sweet ass blog. Lo siento.

Literally

With that incredible (and admittedly, somewhat annoying) influx of having no current direction in life (the pool opens memorial day... until then, I'm basically like a big rotting stump..), I have tried to seriously focus on working out. I'm talking, NFL combine preparation working out.

It actually feels pretty good. So far this week has been more of a restore status quo kinda thing since I haven't done much since before finals week, but I have already done more cardio than I have in all of 2008 combined. With the latest 40 cent increase in Texas tea, I have seriously honest-to-god considered taking my insurance money from my car (it got totaled last summer, long story, mildly interesting, maybe for another blog post) and plunking it down for a road bike. I feel like it would kill two problems at once.

What does this entail, you ask? Well, there is the focus on both lifting and cardio as I already mentioned. Also, in an effort to keep oh I dunno, improving?, on my mind, I got a nifty little piece of freeware called Even Fit that can track all the stuff I do, from strength training, to running and biking, as well as my calorie count and resting heart rate, if need be. Being that I'm somewhat of a science nerd, and a lot of a numbers freak, "quantitative data on my own body really revs my engine" (put that on t-shirt).

I have consciously drank more water this week than I did all school year. Right now I'm chalking that one up to not having a coffee pot sitting next to me 6 hours out of the day, but the benefits are still there. I've also gone out and bought steak and tuna and stuff to grill because a.) Grilling is my only hobby in life other than video games, two) I love steak and III.) Protein is good or something, I dunno.

I figure I have until about June 6th-ish until I have a full time job, and with how long I have been at the same level (See: all school year) a lot of ground can be made if I just seriously focus on it. I'm somewhat stoked.

//And yes, that picture has nothing to do with anything. I'm more just asking if I look most like a chinese communist ruler? Stewie Griffin would be so proud...

The answer to "Why do we have history class?"

So you don't look like a complete moran in front of the entire internets like this guy:

Wait... shit

Know your history.

HELPPPPP

Here is my problem. I don't have classes tomorrow. And, excluding a 20 page paper, I don't have shit to do.

Addictinggames has taken a turn for the worse lately. No, I don't like Guitar Hero ripoffs, thank you very little.

Gimmie some good time wasters, preferably of the online variety.

Holla atcha boi'

I'll do a translated version of this sometime too....

Dream Shadows --- NOT!

Can't say this is an original idea, but man... wouldn't that be neat?! Either way, check out the inspiration for these photoshop ventures... Cool concept

[EDIT: jk, those are freakin hard and i just realized my 'shop skillz are rusty and need serious work... for now enjoy these wonderful pieces of art]

The wonders of google-image search: tangental photoshopping

I take what I'm given...

Heck, I could always be a CD cover designer. The rules I used to create this particular design are here. It was the perfect time-waster for my hour before my two hour calculus bonanza (w00t).

Bigger version inside

Apparently this Robichaud guy was a member of Canadian Parliament in the 50s and early 60s. So I guess that makes said "band" a more contemporary Franz Ferdinand of sorts. The particular album title though leads me to believe they would be uber-emo, with a slightly bluegrass twang (as indicated by the rolling landscape. This would probably add up to a solid 3-star allmusic rating.

I'm pretty so-so about how the dice fell on this one... maybe better luck next time. I'm sure I'll be doing this again.

If [Easy + fun]/[t] > 42, I'm always down.

Welcome back.

Ah dorm sweet dorm.

I walk in greeted by two indusrial-sized fans (blowers?), one huge ass dehumidifier, and a note. Something to the effect of "dear student, pipe burst on floor above you, water dropped, tough luck, well be here tomorrow to pick the shit up."

Oh joy. Hey, thanks for the letter, too. Especially the part where I'm stuck with the blowers and dehumidifier for the night.

For some topping on the cake, our two refrigerators got unplugged over break. Good news: the frost-cake buildup is all gone. Bad news: water/mold everywhere.

Dangggit.

Photo evidence attached:

At least the neon green accents the decor.

Donezo.

Semesters rock. Exams are over and now for a month I have the freedom to do whatever I want. I haven't quite grasped what that means yet, but I know it will involve a lot of sleeping and late-night Family Guy (i.e. right now). Oh... and finding sweet pictures as such:

Black Light Special

I can say with a great deal of confidence that this past Friday was the first time I have ever woken up before the crack of dawn while on a "vacation" of any sort when fish weren't involved. Ever since I could recognize a good sale in the newspaper (and had the money to actually make a few purchases) I've had a sick desire to experience the "BLACK FRIDAY" (spooky sounding, eh?) rush.


So, this year, Dad and I (yes, I'm pretty sure we were the only two white males together I saw all day) woke up bright and early at 5:00, grabbed a coffee, and headed out to Staples to get in line for those thumb drives and DVDs. A couple observations I made throughout the day...

1.) DVDs are dirt cheap this year. You can get full seasons of anything that didn't air on HBO for $15 bucks or less if you look around (see: Target, Circut City).
2.) America really can be a sick, sick, place if you just stop and look around. I'm not trying to say, "BOO CAPITALISM!!!!!1!1!" or anything, I was there right along with everybody (see: below). Just the pure numbers of people everywhere from Target to friggin' Pep Boys (yes, Pep Boys, they had some great car-GPS prices) had a crowd.
3.) The downfall of the guitar is imminent. And don't think that it will stop there.
4.) Tickle Me Elmo EXTREME! is hilarious on four hours of sleep.

Our prize purchase of the day, you ask? Office Max, of all places, had some crazy deals on monitors of all types, computer, TV, and projections. For the past year or so we have been contemplating converting the basement into our own common-man-home-theatre (if there is such a thing), and when there is an HD projector with a free 80-inch screen included (which costs only a hundred less than the actual projector), we caved.

The conversion should probably have been a weekend project, but I kind of blew my load when I got home, and by 8:00 that night we were watching a life-size Will Ferrell in Elf.


Mom will kill me for showing the interweb the mess, and honestly the picture doesn't quite do it justice, but this is the best photo-evidence I have.

Note to self: 2,000 lumens is really, REALLY freaking bright when directly shined into cornea.

Not gonna lie....

I do this. And I do it a lot... More than I should probably...

A special shout-out

Well kinda...

I've been meaning to get a picture of this up here like all year, but have never really remembered to grab a camera when needed. Well, lucky me now finally has a camera phone, so I was able to snap an admittedly low-quality shot.

I hope [person#91858327] doesn't mind the back of his head being displayed to the masses.

In the "mine's bigger" dept. I present to you, the periodic table.

Dinner bell is ringing!

Behold, my complete ineptness at the art of the microwave meal:

If that doesn't get your stomach a rumblin...

Back to paper (if you can even call it that...)

Ah yes. It begins.

The first major wave of procrastination taking hold as I type. Chemistry test arriving at 4:30 (QUICK: what is a good acronym for soluble/insoluble ionic compounds, oh wonderful acronym people?!), then a dinner meeting from 6-8, THEN I have the honor of typing a 4 page paper due tomorrow at 9AM.


Should be real fun.

In the mean time.... I present to you what is really occupying my mind:



Not NEARLY as good as my previous (see: last year) venture, but a good time-waster.

HA

Priceless.
