Anger

There's a slightly amusing story about our cat after the picture, if you don't want to read the first three paragraphs. TIME IS MONEY AND YOU PEOPLE ARE LAZY.

I find myself being...angry. Often. Not really at anything. Well, I mean - someone will say something and I will immediately get pissed off. But it's not like people have gotten more annoying (maybe) - I just get upset more quickly these days.

I'm not sure if it's stress from school or what, but I don't like it. As hard as this may be to believe for the people who know me, I don't really enjoy being irritable. I'd much rather be the slightly psychotic me who is just a little too weird to be seen out in public with.

I can see why people would want to avoid both sides of me...I'm not sure I could be my friend...but I think one would prefer happy and weird as opposed to pissy and weird. PISSY IS A WORD, BLOGGER.COM! Don't let that last sentence detract from my post. Also, I added "pissy" to my dictionary. It wanted me to change it to "pussy." That's not polite, Blogger.com.

In other news, I turned the shower on on Chairman this morning. It was great.

Now hear me out - it's not like I threw him in there and turned it on. And he didn't get as wet as the pictured feline. But every time we go to take a shower, he comes running in there and...watches. He gets between the clear curtain and the black cloth curtain and just...watches. And when you get out he plays in the tub. Just recently he's taken to running into the bathroom, hitting the black curtain, and jumping in the tub. So it's covered in hair and has all those pulls in it from his claws snagging it. I'm tired of animals destroying our things. We do it enough without any help. So today, when I pulled the curtain closed and Chairman ran in and actually jumped all the way in the tub, I turned the shower on and listened to him flail.

I couldn't even watch because he was behind the curtains. And that is the most tragic part of this story.

Posty Post

Woo!

I stayed on campus to grade papers, so of course I'm writing a post. A posty post, to be exact.

This one is about links. And how hilarious I am. Seriously. Hilarious. I have my own blog. All bloggers are always funny - didn't you know?

I've discussed my friend MC before. His nickname is one of my less creative ones... Anyway. (I typed "Andyway" for some reason. I don't even know an Andy...) Anyway - he posted something about Firefox vs. Chrome. I think he did it just so he could argue, because he knew how people would respond (people like Chrome, man...it's okay - we're all different). And he wanted to make sure people knew he was right, so every time he posted on the thread he would link back to a source.

Here are some screen shots. Yes, I chose snippets based solely on the quantity of links - it's my blog, I can skew the data. :P And it's not really skewed. He posted a lot. And there were a lot of links. Oh! I did some calculations with my helpful friend-face MS Word: 5 posts came from him, with 1635 words. 23 links, 12 of which were just the word "Link" Also about 6 misspelled words. But that's not as important. Except to prove he's not as perfect as he thinks. DOUBLE :P :P (is that four :P's or just two?)

I don't care one way or the other about browsers. I use Chrome because...I just started using it. It was new and I tried it and I was like "oohh...this is fun" and just kept going with it. I didn't bother to post that on the forum, because I know MC and know I would just get yelled at for it. As several people did.

But after that third post (that was the entire post, btw) that had as many links titled "Link" as it had sentences I was like...oh this is too much. I must make a joke. So I replied to it with this:

source

For some reason Blogger is being a temperamental whoreface and won't let me make the image a link. I could go into the HTML and try to do it, but whatever. In the forum it was a link to this video. Which, if you know me, is my FAVORITE VIDEO OF ALL TIME.

Well. He didn't think it was funny. And removed my comment. And took away some "contribution to community" points that I had acquired. I have no idea if the points thing is true. I don't pay attention to how many points I have. When he told me he had deleted it for "trolling" I just brushed it off with "Whatever - it was worth it." because it had amused me. And there were three other people in my office - I told them and they lol'd. He said they were really just wishing I would stop thinking I was funny and that a Rick Roll would have been better. WHAT IS THIS, 2007?! (Yes, I did Wikipedia it to get the right year.)

Also, I Rick Roll'd one of my homework assignments (the chorus over and over in 2pt font across the top of the page) a few years ago and he still says crap about it. But that's an aside.

And I do use links a lot, but they don't break up the text with a gross "Link" that breaks your train of thought. Link I mean...that's just Link silly. Link It just totally ruins the feel of a post. Link It's even causing me to lose focus on Link what I'm Link try Link ing to talk Link a Link bou Link t.

ALSO - my only misspelling are on purpose. Like posty. It's just fun. Posty. Weee!!

Construction

I try to not complain about campus construction, because making campus better is a good thing. And I choose to assume that they are making good changes.

But holy balls, people.

They already closed down the entire Rec Center lot for "construction parking" - the construction workers don't use 3/4 of the lot. So Mr. T and I have to park in the gravel lots and walk along the construction zone fence beside the Rec Center to get around to the front. Because there is no parking in that tiny lot out front, and getting there is pure misery thanks to that roundabout and construction on the stupid Student Union building.

This morning I drag my sick butt out of bed, get Mr. T's butt out of bed, get all our stuff together, park in the gravel lot full of puddles, walk through the rain in our workout clothes (we only have shorts), dodge traffic to cross the street, walk the entire length of the fenced-off lot, and turn to go down the side of the building.


"CLOSED FOR CONSTRUCTION. NO ACCESS TO REC CENTER."

There is no other way to get to the Rec Center! It would be another 5-10 minute walk to get all the way around the lot to come at it from the front of the building. In the cold, cold rain. They really should put a sign at the beginning of the sidewalk, so you know it's pointless before you walk past all the discarded condoms and misery back behind the softball field.

Also, why is the softball field all the way on the other side of campus than the baseball field? That's just weird.

Sunday Movie Review

With such memorable quotes as:

"There's a dick in Angela's mouth!"
...
...
...
...
"Yeah?"

"IT'S NOT ATTACHED TO ANYONE!"

Plus many, many more I can't remember because it's been a few months since I watched it...how can you not want to watch this movie??

I mean, come on. It's about an alien that takes over Ron Jeremy's penis and goes on a killing spree. This movie is a masterpiece.


Okay, maybe not a masterpiece. It's not even all that great. But it's funny. And if you have a Netflix instant queue you should definitely check it out. I think you can even watch it in bits on YouTube.



Sorry that this one doesn't go into as much detail as my last one. But I like this movie more than I liked Limitless (I don't want to ruin the plot before you can see it!), and it's been much longer since I watched it, so the details are fuzzy. I do remember at one point the penis hides in a dead rat to sneak up on them. DO YOU REALLY NEED MORE CONVINCING??

Saturday Product Placement

IMDb, how I heart thee.

I was watching Bones, right? During one of the episodes - "The Cinderella in the Cardboard" - this lovely face appears:

And I go "Oh! I know her!! She's whosit on Big Bang, right??" So with some Googling and IMDbing I find Ms. Mayim Bialik's IMDb page! I also discover she was in some terrible 90s show called Blossom, and was in  Beaches! AND she was on an episode of What Not to Wear! (Which you better believe I'm going to be looking up!!)

A few episodes before - "The Princess and the Pear" - I witness this lovely scene:

And now I know the name of that weird kid on Glee! (Note: searching for "weird kid on glee" is not helpful) His name is Josh Sussman (IMDb) and you will see him in...nothing of note, other than Glee, if you consider it note-worthy. Fun fact, though - he's credited as "Afro Geek" in Bones, which is a pretty sweet Superhero name. Or a band name, perhaps...

Also, it helped straighten out the whole "Spock isn't Bill from Kill Bill isn't the guy from Sucker Punch" (very confusing) conversation I had a couple years ago with some friends.

They don't look the same, until you see them in a movie and go "Oh, that's Leonard Nemoy!" or "Oh, that's the guy from Kill Bill!" Or "Oh! . . . " - yeah, no one ever thinks of Scott Glenn, I'm sure. I mean, maybe you do. I do think he's the most attractive of the three, based off their IMDb pictures. He's apparently been in lots of things. I know that because I just scanned his IMDb page (thank you, IMDb).  But I wonder if you knew it was him, or just thought it was Spock...

Or maybe Spock is real and visits Earth disguised as one of these three men. Or maybe Spock is real, and a time traveler and has come to Earth from three different times all at the same time, which is why they all three exist here together and don't look exactly the same.

Just some things to think on. What was I talking about originally? IMDb? Yeah, it's great.
