Come on down to the other side

Still addicted to Pendulum. XD I’m so late.

So the past few days have been pretty badass, to be honest. Been trying to wind down for just a bit before ramping eeeeverything back up for finals *shudder*. So Monday consisted of a big nap, and then movies with Thackston, Quills, and Frendahl. We watched The Emperor’s New Groove, We’re Back! A Dinosaur’s Story, and The Brave Little Toaster. After that, I went to bed, and they continued with Hercules. XD Halfway through The Brave Little Toaster, we tried to go to Taco Bell and they were closed (gasp!) so we went to Krystal’s – my first time going there. It wasn’t as bad as I had thought it would be, to be honest.

Also, The Brave Little Toaster has great facial expression, but also animation hiccups – what the FUCK happened here:

And We’re Back! A Dinosaur’s Story had an awkward moment:

Sooo yeah… XD

Moving on, last night as almost a continuation of the previous night, with us watching The Pagemaster and then Small Soldiers. Meanwhile, I downloaded The Phantom Tollbooth and Song of the South (which is a hard movie to come by, so I’m proud). We made our Taco Bell run, and watched all of the G.I. Joe PSA’s and some of the offensive Charlie Brown videos… :P

But before all that, I purchased the most wickedly badass bottle of vodka ever.

I mean really. How can you get much more badass than THAT. The vodka is called Crystal Head Vodka, and I’d click that link – the videos on there are fascinating – all about the lore of the Crystal Skulls, which just makes the beverage that much more COOL. AND…! That’s Dan Aykroyd, of Ghostbuster’s fame. How. Freakin’. COOL!

I have yet to try the drink, but I looked up a review, and reviews about alcohol make me laugh, so take a read:

“So let’s move on to the vodka itself. Crystal Head is familiar-tasting, 80 proof, and hardly earth-shattering in its composition, but overall very good. There’s an immediate vanilla punch that reminded me of the recently-reviewed 2 Rooz vodka. A bit chalky on the palate, it goes down extremely smoothly, with some sweetness and candy-like flavors on the tongue that immediately make one think of both dessert and ghosts. The finish is clean and crisp. There’s no medicinal flavor here at all. Really impressive.” – Drinkhacker.com

So there you have it – it’s a solid drink to boot! XD

Finally, to wrap things up: a new meme I’ve been introduced to that made me laugh – hard:

“Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?”

IT MAKES NO SENSE. Yet.. someone answered on Yahoo Answers:

“I already answered this before but I’ll say it again, you’ve got to be kidding me. I’ve been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It’s just common sense.

I decided to use even go want to do look more like before it was cool to use even go want to do look more like. I have even really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like, that I stopped doing look more like a long time ago, and now I just use even go want to do look more like with scissors, a box set of Kenan & Kel on DVD, a 4 gigabyte SD card, and a frayed ethernet cable.

I hope this is really been far to do more answers for you to even go want.”

need sleep, not grammar, count sheep, no glamour

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’m. Angry.

I’m pissed off. You have no idea how pissed off I am. Hell, I’m inches from walking outside and starting a fistfight with the next idiotic football shithead that walks by my house.

This morning I woke because I told Nick I’d give him a ride to Publix for supplies for this morning’s alumni breakfast. We left, and I was generally having a good time, joking around with Nick and buying lots of food.

Then I had to go park when we got back.

Oh, parking. Parking parking parking. Fuck. GT. Parking.

Today is, apparently, a “skirmish” football game, because God only knows that having about a DOZEN FUCKING FOOTBALL GAMES IN THE FALL TO FUCK WITH MY CAMPUS WASN’T FUCKING ENOUGH, no, NO, NOW we get to have a fucking football game in the Spring too! IT’S NOT EVEN A REAL GAME – it’s our team against ITSELF.

Regardless though, all these fat ten-assed shit-stomping dick-shelves come out of their redneck hovels to come and masturbate in the football stadium over what is probably the most homoerotic “sport” in the mainstream. Ordinarily? I couldn’t care less!

BUT. Instead of just leaving me the fuck alone, they’ve taken my parking.

All of it.

There is literally no legal place to park on campus. THIS is what pisses me off. Now I’ve got these fucksticks parking WHEREVER the fuck they want, whereas I HAD TO PAY $500 FUCKING DOLLARS TO PARK HERE ON THIS CAMPUS. I GET A FUCKING TICKET IF I PARK ILLEGALLY HERE BUT THEY GET OFF SCOTT-FUCKING-FREE. And now what? What about me, what about that I had to pay (and they didn’t) and now I, THE PAYING CUSTOMER, has NO PLACE TO PARK!!!

*sighs* And so now my car sits in the front lawn of the fraternity, killing what semblance of grass we had there. If I see a single football go-ers car there, I will not hesitate to call a tow truck.

This isn’t mentioning how rabidly pissed off I am that Facebook fucking DELETED my girlfriend’s account for no reason whatsoever, without so much as a warning or explanation. I just found out after she said to go look and realized that everything she’d ever interacted with on my profile had been deleted, erased from existence. AND THEIR TERMS OF SERVICE ALLOWS THIS WITHOUT ANY REASON OR EXPLANATION. I hate this shit.

I’m pissed.
