I don’t know if any of yous regularly check boing boing, but this was pretty hilarious

Between this and the “Snorlax fucking owns” video on youtube I think there should be a blog dedicated to new yorkers narrating their video games. I hope the cast of sopranos does one!
It has been an awesome week. I am counting Friday morning through now to be a week.
Friday was a big $$ win. woot
Saturday was an awesome nothing much day, followed by girls’ night (hey ladies!)
Sunday was awesome and warm, and I drove around town doing errands and re-potting plants in my kitchen (as close as I can get to a garden), and I bought a fish, his name is Seymour.
i just bought an xbox 360 off ebay. this isnt worthy of a post, im just bored.
I won a scholarship, too, too! I had only put up my table/sculpture and analog de-rezer. Notice the table/sculpture is titled “Broken Jaw, Repaired.” Sound familiar? It’s the name of a delectable beverage.
On another note, if you want me to do a sweet project for you or WITH you (even better) let me know because I’m totally wanting to get in on the colab’ scene.
Hey, guess what.
I won a scholarship, too! Not as much as Evan’s, a lowly $2,000, but I’m still psyched about it! I would tell everyone to go to my website (secret: that is a link), but I think pretty much everyone has seen my movies already. Also, I just posted it. Just go to it anyway. Watch Petbusters or something. It’ll do you some good.
Hours after the Virginia Tech massacre, before the killer’s identity is even known, we already have a reason for the killings: Violent video games and movies, too many guns, too few guns/gun-free zones. I’m sure it will get worse as the days continue and pundits continue to politically mine this tragedy. I’m glad these things have quick fixes, all we have to do is censor, regulate guns, or join the NRA. It’s nice to know what causes problems a priori, and not waste time looking at empirical data. Or have to really question if these things happening far too frequently is inevitable consequence of modern American society. 24-hour news is saturation. I am glad that Jon Stewart spends so much of his time deconstructing the ‘hyper-real’.
In completely related news, they found a body in a pool near campus, it’s been there for quite some time now. They won’t release the identity but the general consensus it probably is the student who went missing in September.
Right now I am trying to figure out what is worse, having no solution or all the wrong ones. I completely agree with George Bush’s comment that when the sanctuary of our schools is violated we all feel that violation. Of course, he also said today that he still believed it was the right of all Americans to own a gun.
Sorry, I felt I had to type something so I could go do my homework. Also I am concerned why these things seem to happen more frequently in Engineering/Physics departments. If it is that stressful it makes me want to reconsider grad school.
well since katie had to go and tackle my good news not five minutes after i posted it, you all get to help me make a decision. tell me you favorite john hughes movie. there are a ton so be careful.
edit: yes HE’S the guy behind home alone and bethoven, wtf john?
it’s raining here.
now, i understand that my disgust may not actually shine through to you, since i just wrote that instead of saying it. let me try again, with feeling.
it’s raaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnning here. eeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhgggggg.
ah yes. much more whiny and realistic-like.
here’s the thing, new york. i really like the rain. out west where i’m from, the rain means nice things. it means a cozy day inside, drinking coffee and curling up with a book. it means green grass, and smelling fresh nature for days and days. it means lush botanical goodness.
but here in the great city of nyc, the rain does not mean any of these things. instead, the rain means crappy runs on slippery concrete (which doesn’t help my phobia of somehow managing to slip off of the brooklyn bridge, which is ridiculous). it means that my wet, nasty running clothes will be mildewing while they try to hang dry in my bathroom, which happens to be about 2 feet from everything else in my apartment (and this smells like death). it means that i have to walk the blocks to the laudromat (in the rain) with my big fatty bag of laundry when it is dirty (not so bad) but also when it is clean and dry (bad). it means that tomorrow, when i babysit catie for 10 hours in the same apartment as her mother, i cannot take her for 4 hour long trips to the park. i must stay in a small, confined space with a bored 2 year old (under mommy’s watchful eye) ALL DAY.
and lastly, do you know what it smells like when it rains in new york city? rain in ny does not mean renewal and goodness, because concrete and dingy subway stations reeking of urine do not need renewal in the form of rain. they need renewal in the form of 409. rain just makes the smelly garbage sitting on the street smelly and wet. mmm.
plus, i we had an intern day at the zoo all planned, now cancelled. poop.
granted, my day will be lovely after i run and do my laundry. then i can eat and watch movies and do art. but seriously. i can’t see to the lovely without windshield wipers on my glasses.
so i found out a little earlier than i was supposed to, but…
I WON $12,500 IN MERITS!
to see my award winning work, visit my semi-completed website
all the work is there, just not the links and resume stuff.
This happened to Lindsey and I the otherday. The following is real. No actors were used.
The real reason Lindsey’s growing out her hair? So she can go as Ashly for Halloween.
