Notables 8/23/10

Notable things I remember about today. Hopefully I will do this everyday.

1) Woke up and my Dad had kindly sorted through my "cleaning out" pile.

2) I showered at 5pm, and ate "breakfast" at 6:45pm.

3) Got the new Xbox 360.

4) Card got denied due me not being in Oregon anymore.

5) Dude at Target who sold me the Xbox 360 was a SUPER CUTE nerd. I mean like, I was having trouble resisting asking him about his personal life. Man, he was cute. His name was Troy.

6) Worked on that hard drive issue a lot. Its 3am. Im still working on it.

7) Wound up on "The Hill" at 1am for Jimmy Johns. Dude in a window shouting to dudes on the street. He used the word faggot a lot, and yet his voice was quite high pitched. I giggled a little, understanding the circumstances, then moved on.

8) Tried Outlook 2011 for Mac today. It wouldnt work with my Oregon exchange account, so I called SAIT, and they had no clue. But they said they would keep my account open so I could be their guinea pig and help them test it. Yay!

Picture of the Day:

The Xbox 360 you wish you had: The Iron Man Xbox 360.

Question: How Did You Make Questions?

So, for the past few weeks, i have been OBSESSED with the Old Spice commercial, Questions.  And I have been dying to know, how did he pull it off!

Well thank goodness my buddies G4 and Attack of the Show, did an interview with the Old Spice dude to get those questions answered!

Enjoy below!

Night Time Fire

I would dive TOO much into this, but at night, I feel like Im so much more alive than during the day. And to add to that, most of time I feel like a completely different person too.

At night, there are thoughts that seem logical to me that WOULDNT seem logical to me during the day. Its really common for me to wake up the next morning thinking, "Im glad I didnt do that." And we arent talking sobriety levels either. All these thoughts are had while stone-cold-sober. No drugs, no alcohol.

And yet something about me at night feels so different.... thinks so different.

So I couldnt end the evening without sharing two recent thoughts.

One is Zac Efron in this particular picture.

And the other one is of this commercial, which I know most of us enjoy watching, over, and over again.



Something about these videos seem to feed the night time fire I experience. Or maybe they start it. Im not sure. Anyways, Im sure most of you will enjoy these items as well.

And if you were craving something funny, look no further than this:

A haxxed 1st post

This first post is a hold over, and an official transition notice. Tonight I was blogging on Facebook, writing a really great post about Skins. Everything was fine, until I noticed that Facebook cut me off and deleted half my original post.

So I threw in the towel, broke down, and decided to start officially blogging.

I know a first post should be new content, but as they say in Skins, "F*%K it."  So here is a copy of what Facebook managed to save.  Oh, did I mention? I didnt rewrite anything. Yep, so sorry if you thought you were going to see an extended post. Nope.  Here ya go.

So over the weekend, with lots of time to kill, I started (and finished) a show called Skins, which is a show aired in Britain (and available on Netflix Instant Watch).

At its core, Skins is a Teen Drama. Unlike USA Teen Dramas, however, Skins isnt afraid to explore issues that Americans would sue over showing on TV. S...kins is the show HBO or Showtime would make, if they were interested in creating one. I suppose Skins sort of reminds me of Degrassi, but Ive never really watched that show, so I cant really make that connection.... or compare them.... like I just did.

Anyways, after watching Skins, Ive kinda become obsessed with the show as a whole. The real reasons I like Skins take up more than Im willing to shell out in this small Facebook post, but a lot of it has to do with the core differences between what USA is willing to show and Skins shows. So I guess you could say what I became obsessed with over the weekend is Britain, and started rethinking how soon I wanna travel abroad...

 

After that, I started talking about my researching gay culture in Britain, how I wanted to post Maxxie, blah blah blah.

Can you tell I hate re-writing what was once there but was then erased? Yea, dont expect me to do a whole lotta edits.

Thats why I like blogging. Its a free-flow write-fest, and it all just comes out.

So basically, thats my first post. Lets see how it turned out in the preview!

Oooh! I like it, i like it! Now I just need to figure out how to edit font and stuff.... oh well.
