Hooray! I now have a GPS navigator, but not a car! I’ll never get lost walking around the neighborhood!

Study on Respect for Dead Icons
Or, People Hate Michael Jackson, Love Billy Mays.
The 2 Memoriam Image-Macros I made on the dates of the passing of Michael Jackson and Billy Mays were also uploaded to my flickr account, which is primarily perused by LEGO friends and fans of my LEGO work.
On flickr, the Michael Jackson image garnered such comments as “finally he’s dead,” “the children of the world...
I just watched a really creepy episode of Psych. Can’t go to sleep after that! Guess I have to watch another and hope it isn’t as creepy.

On Phones
It was time for my 2-year phone upgrade, so I drove up to the Verizon store to check out what new gadgets they were selling. After testing a bunch, my choice became clear: the Blackberry Storm, with touch-feedback screen and innovative spell correction, or the enV Touch, a combo touchscreen-on-top, keyboard-inside number.
But the Storm came with a hidden fee! An extra $30 a month. The enV did...

senator roland burris liked our i fuck men shirts. we win.
this is pretty incredible. also, any still on sale?
I just took 2 quizzes to determine my alignment (D&D style) (because I’m a nerd) and both times I got Chaotic-Neutral! Hooray!
Attention comicbook geeks fans, what collections/issues/books should I read if I want a good look at the character Deadpool?
I then decided not to starve and instead to go to McDonalds! But the car was in the garage and its hard to pull out because the driveway is so narrow and I’m a ridiculously inexperienced driver so I wasn’t sure if I really wanted to go through all that effort and then my mom caved and is making me a BLT!
reason why I’m so skinny: I got the urge to eat, even go so far as to make a sandwich (at 11pm? are you crazy? this is unheard of for me!) but I guess my dad finished the lunchmeat this afternoon, so no sandwich.
guess I’ll just starve!!!!
My dad has the original Thriller album, and we’re playing it now.

On Beards
(the ones on your face, not the thing about gay guys having wives)
1. I haven’t shaved for a few days, so today, I shaved just the parts that aren’t in a beard. (The anti-beard, being under the chin/neck area, and upper cheek area) Thus I created what I would look like if I had a beard. I went downstairs and found my dad and said “This is what I’d look like if I had a...

fffuuuuu pan-and-scan. who invented “full screen”
Retards.
I know, right? I was watching “Last Action Hero” and I almost missed the T-1000 cameo, and I’m sure there was a bunch of other stuff going on in the police station that I didn’t see. A crime! That’s what “full screen” is!
I guess it might become a thing of the past, as more...

Wonderful, thanks Cameron, and “David.” For more on Brodsky and Utkin, dear readers, check out this article I found with a quick google search, The Paper Architecture of Brodsky and Utkin.

The Harry Potter Musical →
Created by a non-profit student-run theatre company. Sometimes hard to hear the lyrics, but yay.
[EDIT: blasted muggle copyright, the producers posted a video explaining why only the first video is still available. The explanation video features a new song (after the 3 minute mark.]
One of my friends is among the newest Master Builders for LEGOLAND California. Article here. Congrats Ryan!
One of the other winners is Mark Larson, who I met on a plane from Seattle to Chicago once.
Hooray jobs with LEGO!

Daybreakers looks like it will be my Twilight.
Wow this could be awesome.

I’ll be in New York City for the next month, taking a Product Design course at Parsons. Maybe I should try to find the tumblr offices…
Wow congrats. Have fun!
I went thru ffffound while watching Daily Show / Colbert. some interesting bits, next.
It’s a full 30 minutes into Terminator2 until you know which person sent back from the future is the bad guy. I hope movie trailers back then didn’t spoil it.
People I don’t know who they are and are in the news or something. (I had to look up how to spell their names)
Farrah Fawcett
Perez Hilton
Heidi Montag
Megan Fox (this one was easy to spell)

Supreme Court: Strip search of 13-year-old student... →
What’s notable here is Clarence Thomas argued that now kids will know that the “safest place for secret contraband” is the underpants. And that only Ginsberg (the only woman) thought that it’s unreasonable to search a 13 year old girl down to her underwear. The drugs? Ibuprofen and Aleve. Truly dangers to society.
IT WAS MURDER!!!!
It is storming, rain, wind, lightning, the works. It’s like the end of days. This storm has nothing to do with Michael Jackson.

My mom works at a public library here in Ohio where libraries are potentially facing a 50% budget cut next week. They’ve been talking it up with patrons in order to get folks to call Governor Strickland or whatever.
One patron had an interesting response.
man: Well, what should we do about this?
[before my mom can pull out list of numbers to call]
man: Do we need to assassinate...

On Lottery Tickets
I’ve considered buying a lottery ticket lately.
(They say it’s so hard to win the lottery, but people are doing it all the time. Can’t be that hard!)
I’m not sure if I should have a random number or pick some special number. I know that statistically, one is the same as the other. I could pick the same number week after week and have the same probability as a new...

I turned 22 today.
I counted my gray hairs, my likely-to-be-totally-inaccurate count (have you ever actually tried to count strands of hair?) is somewhere around 70. I included a factor of safety for the hairs on the back of my head that I can’t see.
Redshirts, a study on who wants me to die on an...
Or, responses to my question.
AbsurdLakefront (forgive me I forgot your real name), Tyz, and Matt want me to go along with the captain and first officer or pilot or chief medical officer to explore some alien thing (The Away Team!) and to die early on, to show the audience just how serious the situation is.
Lukas and Vladimir want me to wear blue, and be a Vulcan or a medical officer or hologram...
