I’m sorry for my irate post the other day. I wasn’t in a good place. I don’t know if I am now, but I will mention that whatever place I’m in is lacking in the sleep department by about 6+ hours. I was up all night doing a fun fun paper. Now I’m sitting in the class it’s due in, partially checked-out. I have a job this summer working for Ladonna, a personal friend through TKD, alongside Stan, my brother, and Stan’s brother. This summer will be good.
After I turn this paper in, it’ll be lunchtime. Then Smalltalk time, then I’m going home, doing laundry, and fuckin’ sleeping. I have to do some CS1050 homework too, so I’ll hopefully enlist some help around the fraternity for that.
I have some massive heartburn right now. Ugh. :( I’m also really reaaaally sore. No clue why, maybe it goes back to that whole “lack of sleep” ordeal.
Before I continue, have two very highly entertaining Youtube videos. The first is a Mega Man 2 rap, and it’s accurate and utterly badass. And catchy. :)
This one is a mashup of epic proportions. Just click and laugh your ass off. XD
Eh, why not a bonus video for the hell of it. This one is a mashup from clips of Disney’s Alice in Wonderland – it creates a very surreal sound and I love it. Kudos to the artist “Pogo” for this catchy, colorful beat.
Okay, enough videos. For now, at least. I hope to revive the shit out of my blog with fun things I tend to run across… and since I’ve finally begun to make use of the silly “Favorite” button on Youtube, I won’t be losing them nearly as easily, heh.
So I’m a few years late, but I ended up (on a whim) purchasing both Cars and Ratatouille on Blu-ray. And, on a whim, I found out both are PHENOMENAL films. My goodness, what I’ve been missing! And having each on Blu-ray is a wonderful feeling. Cars was a fast paced film with some wonderful voice acting and boy did I enjoy the roar of the engines. Ratatouille (I type that word so slowly, afraid I’m going to fuck up) was so colorful and the music, gosh, the music. I almost felt like I was there, and I certainly enjoyed the critic by the end of the film. :D
While I’m running terribly late on bandwagons here, I might as well mention that I’ve acquired (through entirely legal means, mind you!) both of the Pendulum albums. What I’ve been missing here, man. @_@ Good stuff – I think my favs are how Prelude and Slam come together so nicely on the Hold Your Colours album. :)
So a fun factoid I’ve been researching. It’s become a bit of a hobby for me, really, but I’ve been looking into the Wilhelm Scream quite a bit. The Wilhelm Scream started as a stock sound for a 1950’s movie, wherein a man is eaten by an alligator and the sound is applied. The sound hid for about 20 years and was uncovered by the sound director for Star Wars, and, well, just watch this for some perspective since then. Let me tell you, this sound is in EVERYTHING. Spaceballs, as I noticed last night, and every Pixar film, Kung Fu Panda, Monsters Vs Aliens, just… really. And not just animated films either! Keep an ear out for it next time you watch a movie and you might be surprised. :P
I can’t figure out anything else to say right now, but allow me to mention that I love getting comments, guys. Thank you. :)
I’ve noticed that that scream is everywhere, but never knew what it was called. Also, have you seen Soopah Nintindoh, yet? Nathan showed me this weekend, and it looked really really awesome. Sorry I couldn’t cheer you up this weekend, I wasn’t anticipating having such a full weekend, and then Nathan surprised me. No regrets, but damn that took up some of my time. ^.^ He’s never visited before (anywhere) so…yeah. We saw “I Love You, Man”. You might find it funny. It’s not particularly unexpected, but good humour and what not. See you around, kid. Finals are almost here and done with. Congrats on the Job, btdubbs. I’m proud of you.
Oh, man, I loved “I Love You, Man”. But then again, pretty much anything that involves Jason Segel nowadays is an automatic win for me. :) I’m looking forward to the new Muppets movie he co-wrote!
We should hang out – I miss ya. But finding time between now and the end of finals…. eeeaaauuuuch.
We’ll figure something out, right? :3
God I hope so. This is the beginning of my finals supposedly today. I’ll be bringing one home to stare at me menacingly from across the room. Ick. Gives me shivers already. But hopefully. If not, we can visit one another over the summer. My life should be considerably less hectic and you’ll have to come to the house warming get together anyway when Tony and I get our place. I lurv you!
