New Appearance
The blog will be going through some aesthetic changes for a while; I’m attempting to find a more fitting style. Leave me feedback on what you like and what you hate, as I will likely be cycling rapidly through themes and appearances until I decide on one.
“Pay no attention to what the critics say… Remember, a statue has never been set...”
– Jean Sibelius (via livejamie)
I have a fantastic mental image of a bronze statue of Addison DeWitt standing in a square, underneath which is a plaque which reads: “He ripped a lot of plays apart in his column, and was a total dick about it.”
On Hipster Star Wars
I don’t know how many of you out there are familiar with the “Hipster Star Wars” fad on Twitter, but if you’re not, the following quote should explain everything:
“My X-wing is a fixie.”
At first, I found this hilarious. Then, I starting thinking; a dangerous past-time, I know.
While it is a funny statement, an X-Wing cannot by definition be a...
A Fridge is Worth a Thousand Words →
I have another blog. You should check it out; it’s pretty sweet.

Barb: What you are doing? You never do anything I ask. You're always searching the interwebs, watching videos of those dumb cats.
Chris: What, I'm on the webernet, looking at toasters like you asked!
Barb: Oh, you finally do something that I ask you to!
Chris: What do you mean? And what's wrong with the cats?
Barb: What's wrong with the cats? They don't even speak right. They need to go back to the seventh grade or something.
Chris: What, they're the like Garfield, these internet cats.
Barb: Don't you talk about my Garfield!
Chris: Oh so he's your cat now? Garfield is your cat.
Barb: Do I have nothing of my own?

There you hear her,
calling you across the phone.
She don’t got a lot to say
but that don’t stop her talking.
And you don’t know why
but you’re dying to try
you got to dump the bitch.
You don’t want…
I'm BAAaack!
Yes, after over a year (and not many posts), I’m back! To that extraordinarily small portion of the internet that cares about such things: REJOICE!

Update: I Get It
After an hour or so, and a quick visit to wikipedia, I finally got the joke. Apparently, Paul Erdos was a prolific mathematician who died back in 1996. He wrote a lot of articles, and definied a lot of things that I have little to no interest in.
What’s important to the joke - I assume - is that mathematicians have their own “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon” with Paul Erdos. Assuming...

My fave Onion video EVER! I literally laugh until I cry every time I watch this.
This definitely made my morning.
Concerning Iran
I’ve attempted to reserve judgment on the Iranian election for a later date, and have combed through at least a dozen news articles from three separate sources discussing the subject. After a few days of this, I have reached my conclusion:
I call bullshit.
Not a new revelation, I know, but it needed to be said. What makes me angriest is not the actual fraud - upsetting as it may be - so...
Why I'm Glad I Never Bought Aloe Vera
queenofqeeks:
I recently bought a new aloe vera plant because, well, I killed my last one. His name was Sparky and he exploded. It’s quite an epic death for something that really didn’t do much of anything active. When I say exploded, I don’t mean fizzled away and made me slightly sad to watch it’s slow decline into the afterlife. I mean exploded. One day I heard a pop, turned around and...

Hey Apple, I Don't Like You
idontlikeyouatall:
Usually when i go to the support section of your website, it’s because i want to fix something, not deal with your fucking shitty website. So when, my ipod (your fucking product) won’t turn on, I’m a little frustrated, but then when i go to your support website and that freezes, i get doubly pissed off. Why don’t you try taking a break from licensing and releasing all those...
