Random thoughts from the computer lab

So I'm trying to keep my love lockdown. And I'm not a trouble maker, I've never been a faker.

Random lines of music that flow into each other...that's my anti-drug.

These cinnamon rolls smell delicious. Wait...is that proper English? I mean, can a cinnamon roll smell period? Maybe I should rethink that first sentence.... Got it: I smell delicious cinnamon rolls.

Q: Does the Exodus continue?
A: Always.

I guess I'm getting older. I've had this crick in my neck for about a week and it hasn't gone away. That equals getting old, doesn't it?

I'm glad the weddings are finished for the time being. It's been a long year, and thankfully there are only a few of us left to get married. Maybe those of us that are still single should start a pool to see who will get married next. Either the first one to get married, or the last one, gets the money. Just a thought.

A moment of silence, please, for CoD4, as I no longer own this precious title. It was time...it was time.

I wonder if I can learn to play an instrument over the next few months.

For the first time since June, I don't have any trips planned. I don't know what I'm gonna do.

Why does time go by so slow when you're starving?

Aren't we all a little crazy? Forgetting Sarah Marshall...damn good movie. I've actually watched some recent movies over the past week: the aforementioned FSM, The Incredible Hulk (I'd say it was a million times better than the first one, but since the first one sucked so freakin' much, it's really impossible to compare the two, so I'll just say that this one kicks ass and you should watch it...right now), and Get Smart (loved this one, great nod to the tv series, great cast, great movie all around, and, oh yeah, Anne Hathaway).

That's all for now.

It's been a while...

...since I...last posted on here. Anyways, presentations and homework have been kicking my tail, and I'm taking a break from working on one now. But in the meantime, let's talk about Christmas, and this little invention right here:



This little beauty right here is the George Foreman Lean Mean Fryer!!! Yes, that's right, a deep fryer that will cut out the fat.

The Lean Mean™ Fryer features our new, patented Smart Spin™ technology that knocks out up to 55% of fat absorbed in the frying process. During a special SPIN cycle that follows cooking, your Lean Mean™ Fryer uses centrifugal force to literally spin the added fat and oil off your food.

  • Knocks out up to 55% of the fat absorbed during frying!*
  • Patented Smart Spin™ Technology lets you spin out the fat for up to 2 minutes with low or high speed setting
  • Immersed heating element promotes fast, uniform heating and provides faster temperature recovery time once food is added for delicious, crispy results
  • Variable thermostat dial adjusts up to 375°F to provide the optimal frying conditions for any food
  • Unique basket design to ensure food keeps its shape and doesn’t crumble during the spin cycle
  • Fryer assembly separates quickly and easily for effortless maintenance and cleaning, with dishwasher-safe parts
  • Cooks up to 1.4 lbs of food, 2.6L oil Capacity

Ladies and Gentlemen


I give you...your Chicago Bears starting quarterback, Kyle Orton!

Saw this earlier on Yahoo! I'm a backer of K.O. and I certainly am now. Well played, sir.

Politics

I really don't want to get too much into the election that is coming up. We know who's running; we have in our minds (most of us, at least) who we'll be voting for. But does what we want reflect who we want? Try this. Then let me know.

Starting Fall 09...

...I'm sure this will be on Spike TV, maybe at midnight or 1 a.m. after episodes of Voyager...

THE LINGERIE FOOTBALL LEAGUE!!!





ESPNRadio was talking about it...I'm sure they have a link to it and a story about it. In fact...here ya go:

By popular demand...

Sometimes I wonder...

What is really going on?

Is this the way it's supposed to be? Is there one to begin with? I don't think there is. I think it was devised by a man once upon a time that determined people were confused. Ergo, since people don't know what they want, let's convince them that they aren't where they are supposed to be, which really doesn't exist, so let's confuse the hell out of them and make 'em crazy. It was all done to sell books, and to send people to therapy. Maybe they were Communists...or politicians...yes, politicians.

Here's a new suggestion: where you are, is where you're supposed to be. At times, we don't like it. In fact, at times we hate it. But we can learn from these times. We will get through it, even if we're going crazy waiting. Tell your loved ones you love them and how much they mean to you.



Be patient. Make the best of it. Have fun. Smile. Have a drink. Don't have a drink. Life is about choices. Shaken or stirred? Fried or grilled? Ginger or Marianne?

These are the thoughts of a man about to go to bed. Now here's something funny:

Salt and Vinegar


Who is the first person that came up with the idea of putting salt and vinegar together in potato chips? I'd like to send that person a drink. If they're dead, I'll drink the drink for 'em. This site HERE did something that I could see trying some time.

Life of a grad student

So, there comes a point when you ask yourself, "What do I want to do: homework, grade, watch tv, play rock band, or nothing?" The first two are tough to do because the last three rock. Only when you've done way more of them do you dare to tackle the first two. This is my life.

So I was gonna post a link to the Vojo Extreme Energy Mints website...but apparently it doesn't exist. You can buy it online, you just can't find the official site. If I had the box, I'd check it for the site. More on that at a later time.

EDIT: Here's the site. Had to watch a commercial to find out. Note to them: if you want people to know more about you, and you go to Google and type in your product, and your site doesn't come up first, there's something wrong.

Left foot first

There comes a time when we all must answer the call. After avoiding it for several months, I've finally decided to come back...with a vengeance.

There's this billboard in Murray advertising Sober Spirit. What is this you ask? A site to warn kids of the dangers of drugs and alcohol. I can appreciate what they are trying to do...but the way they go about it might not be the best idea. You can check out the site here. I never knew what GHB was until this site found me. Oh, and think twice about the "juice" you drink in the mornings.
