Possibly the Greatest Video Ever

And I mean it this time.



Tell me that wasn't one of the coolest concepts ever. I dare you.

Midnight Munchie Induced Musings...

  • My little brother may actually miss me a little.
  • People need to use libraries more often.

Spotted Around Campus

ALSO: IMPORTANT THING FOR THE DAY

Spotted around campus: HARMONICA BOY!!!!!

Yes, we haven't heard from everyone's favorite car-ride companion in awhile, but today I spotted him in UD and we respectfully ignored one another (in his defense, I don't think he saw me). Also, there have been reports, courtesy of T-Storm, that he's been playing his tunes late at night around campus. Don't lie, you know you missed him...

Other Blogs to Check Out

So, I'd like to make clear that I have absolutly no affiliation with either of these bloggers, but as a fellow blogger I feel them worth noting. One because her blog literally made me laugh out loud and the second becasue she's a pioneer of sorts into a field that not many have dared to explore. So, if you have a huge deadline you should be meeting, or a paper to write and I haven't posted anything lately, check these two out.

Pick one based on the movie you like:
'Julie & Julia'
'10 Things I Hate About You'

Posting these, I have two motives. One, to expose some fellow bloggers who I think are great in their own ways. And two, to distract you and still provide you with entertainment on days where I don't post :)

G'night all, I've got some deadlines I've been avoiding, so natch I turned to blogging!

WOW: Word of the Week

I know you all love it, so it's back (and no I'm not talking about the original 150 Pokemon series). Word of the week! This week our word comes complements of the good folks at AU who were gracious enough to accept me into their ranks dispite the fact that I'm 'straight edge' (haha).

biddie noun [bid-ee]: A biddie, while difficult to define accurately while avoiding confusion, is a college age female who falls under some, most, or all of these descriptions.
-often short/petite
-gullible, easily tricked
-wears spandex pants, a miniskirt barely covering the vag, or anything from American Apparel
-footwear consists of Uggs, boots with fur on them, heels, or some combination of the three
-enjoys Biddie Songs (Low by Flo Rida ft. T-pain, Shake That by Eminem ft. Nate Dogg, etc)
-at least 80% of their facebook pictures would render them unemployable if leaked
-does not remember the last weekend that did not involve a hangover
-the couches in the G street basement are equivalent to a 5-Star Resort
-dreams of being a woman from Desperate Housewives
-Smirnoff Ice = ideal pregame
-"so what's your major?" is absolutely a legit pickup line
-wakes up in weird places
-the purpose of the bathroom/kitchen sink is obviously as a courtesy for you when you get sick

Example:
"Ugh as soon as the weather gets nice all the biddies come out again. Are the hybernating or something!?"

I Feel Everyone Should Read This.

I mean, I'm a smartass, and have been one once or twice on a test (Supe's mostly) but this tops all:

The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry midterm.


The answer by one student was so 'profound' that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well :

Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.

One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today.

Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:

1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell,then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, 'It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,' and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting 'Oh my God.'

THIS STUDENT RECEIVED AN A+.
This person is my hero. G'night all :)

Things I Would Like to Say to Clothing Manufacturers

  1. Not everyone is a size 0, or 2, 4, or 6 for that matter. Please remember that when sending things to stores.
  2. Some of us have boobs. This mean that regardless of our acutal size, we will not fit in skimpy bathing suits, tight button downs, low-cut tops, or skin-tight babydoll tshirts without looking like sluts. Which not all of us want to.
  3. Well made clothes should not cost the arms and legs we need to wear them.
  4. Please do not make all your good clothes go on sale the only time I have no cash on me and only put ugly clothes out when I do have cash. Thanks.
  5. Please figure out someway to make stockings never run.
  6. Stock your clearance racks better.
  7. Please don't sew the price tags weirdly into the lining of things. Honestly, how am I supposed to deal with that?!
  8. If something (AKA a prom dress) comes with a little bag of beads, it means that as soon as you put it on all the beads on the dress will fall off. Save yourself the bead money and just sew the first set on well.
  9. Stop making all the cutest heels be 5 inch stellettos. kThanks.
  10. I don't care if Brad Pitt drooled on it, a tshirt should nevr cost more than $20, at very maximum.
  11. Jean people: MAKE EVERY PAIR OF THE SAME STYLE, CUT, WASH, AND FIT FIT THE SAME!
  12. Bathing suit people, please try and make enough tops to go with the amount of bottoms, or more if thats what it takes. There are only ever bottoms left on the sale racks.
  13. No bathing suits shall be for sale whilst there is snow on the ground.
  14. Someone please figure out how to make flats not shank the backs of feet. It's a growing problem.
  15. All stores anywhere near a college campus should be well stocked with various styles of rainboots. We need those things.
  16. Do not have crazy massive sales on shoes that are not my size. Just don't.
  17. Do not, under any circumstance, plaster your logo/brand name across everything in your store (THAT MEANS YOU AEROPASTEL! HOW DO YOU EVEN SAY YOUR NAME?!?!) We also do not care what year you were founded in.
  18. If you come up with a classic, beloved design for, say, a flip-flop, do not alter it after several sucessful seasons. *cough* Old Navy *cough*
  19. More clothes should come with corresponding accessories.
  20. Please do not put things on sale the week after I buy them.

WTF iTunes!?!?

Okay, so today I was thinking about how I kind of felt bad for never actually purchasing songs anymore, but getting them from other people or whatever. And I've been meaning to get a copy of Lady Gaga's new CD. So, since today (well, technically yesterday I guess) was her birthday I though to myself 'Hey, fairly decent upstanding citizen, why don't I go and legally purchase the rest of her album of my good old friend iTunes. I've still got a gift cards worth. Awesome, happy birthday Gaga.' Little did I know...

HAS ANYONE ELSE NOTICED ITUNES SONGS ARE NOW $1.29!?! WHAT!?!?!

And the music companies wonder why everyone pirates music illegally? Here I am trying to be a good person and pay for my music and four songs cost me almost $5?! I CAN BUY A CD ON SALE FOR THAT MUCH! It's absurd. I understand that recording labels/artists/etc. have the right to be angry about pirating, I understand that it really isn't right to do but at the same time, consumers 'vote' with their money. And if they are 'voting' against current music prices by stealing them instead, that means one of two things. One, what is bring produced is not worth anything or two, they think the prices are unreasonable. Logically, this would mean that the prices are too high. In this day and age people listen to a lot of music, like A LOT, and paying $1.29 for that? That would mean that the music on my iPod currently is worth $1190.67. Now, being resonable, does anyone expect ANYONE to pay that much for music? No. So we're left to either steal it (artists lose money) or buy less of it (artists lose money). Now, not that I can't listen to 'Bad Romance' for days on end, but really, today, 90% of the music buying market has music ADD thanks to the shuffle feature on their iPods, so we really can't survive for very long without a great variety of music. But logically, the solution to this is to raise prices, right? To screw over the people who actually pay for music. Now, I'm not saying that I'm completely guilt free here (I'm not saying I'm not either) but I will say that the price jack just makes me less inclined to buy from iTunes. In fact, I think I'm more likely to run out and buy the CD, because I'm pretty sure if a CD is more than 8 tracks it's cheaper to buy the hard copy, plus you actually own something as opposed to 'buying' a file.

Basically, iTunes should lower prices. That's the bottom line. G'night all.
