The Website is Down

July 6th, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted in Just My Nerdiness, Just My Video

Another post dedicated to my fellow super-nerd, Chase.  This has got to be like the funniest videos I have seen in a while, especially one of the funniest nerd videos.  Reminds me of the BBC’s IT Crowd.

Check out their site for more fun.  The Website is Down.com

Did you like my drawing of the nerd? :-)

This is what happens when a reporter swallows a fly on the air.

Thanks to Keith and the Girl for this.

Megabus Chicago to Saint Louis

Ryan and I decided to go the “green” route home from Chicago and took the new Megabus from Union Station to Union Station.

The bus was brand new, clean and pleasant.  Nothing like the China Bus Ryan and I took to New York City from Washington DC.  Nothing like that haha.

I would say that the Megabus is aimed at college students more than anyone else.  You must make your reservations online which not only cuts costs but consequently prevents “bums” from getting on board.  You have to have access to a computer with an internet connection and a credit card to make the reservation.  I guess this is a good idea, maybe I just don’t have an opinion on it.  I fear sounding elitist by saying it was nice to not have sketchy people on the seat across from you, that sounds bad so let’s just pretend I never typed it, k?

One interesting dynamic, a bit of Rosa Parks perhaps… The bottom floor of the double decker bus was inhabited by white middle to upper middle class girls.  Not a boy or non-caucasian in sight.  Go up the stairs and 90% black girls.  There was one older Greek woman, two Asian boys and the two of us.

I guess the minorities were forced upstairs, no matter what minority you were in haha.  The upstairs was nice though, more seats and a fantastic view, the downstairs has some seats facing other seats with a table in between.  Magnificent! Next time we go we are going to take those seats so we can chit chat with others and play Blackjack or something.  We played together, I won Blackjack but Ryan kicked my ASS in a game of War.  

We made our first and unnecessary stop in Normal Illinois.  The passenger we were waiting on never showed, boo to that.

Our second stop was at a truckstop/laundro-mat/restaurant/arcade/store…  It was all sorts of white trash.

What more could you ask for?  How about really fucking scary dolls?

Not enough?  How about some “turn from sin, turn to Christ” cassette tapes.  Yes, you read that right, cassettes.

One guy from the bus took of the boxes of tapes to the bus.  The entire box.  Lord only knows what he plans to do with them (pun not totally intended).

The entire place was pretty hilarious.  I understand that truckers need a place to chill when on the road, a place to escape to outside of their trucks… But why does the place have to be so trashy?  

The “Lounge” consisted of a couple of cheap metal chairs, a 19″ color television broadcasting the cliche Nascar race of the day and some neon lights of various colors hung haphazardly on the wall.  

The smell was something else, wow.

We were given about thirty minutes to hang out there, get lunch at one of the nearby fast food establishments and just stretch out legs.  

Of course, as with any stop, there has to be a few stupid people that disregard the time constraints.  I swear, how do these people get through life?  Three girls were left behind at Subway until someone yelled from upstairs to the downstairs of the girls running behind the bus a good fifty yards back.  

Hilarious? Yes.  Would I have liked for them to run an extra 100 yards?  Of course.

We got into St. Louis despite the acts of God going on around us.  The storms were so strong that they were pushing the bus between two different lanes.  We got home safe and sound and then crashed, poor Ryan had to be at work five hours later!

All and all, I will definitely take the Megabus again, hopefully pretty soon!

Come On Trent!

May 7th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Just My Life, Just My Video

Last night I went out with Micheal, Dustin, Megan and Langley.  Who was missing?  Trent!  Apparently this happened the night before…  For best results, turn up the volume a bit.  

Oh how I’m going to miss these people.  Apparently Trent showed up right as Megan was being recorded.

Excuse My Beauty

April 18th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Just My Life, Just My Video

I’m not sure if this is a tranny train wreck or just one FEIRCE latino/a… Either way, hella funny.  Reminds me of a few people I bumped into when I lived in San Francisco.  I was once kicked off a corner, from where I was waiting for Seth to walk me to a party, by a tranny prostitute who thought I was trying to steal her business.  Yikes.  Compliment or pwnd?

This Week in Video

I’ve been lazy posting recently because I’ve been going back in time and re-categorizing and tagging all my old posts.  I did some work on my MySQL database and deleted one extra table too many… oops.  So I lost all the categories for posts.  So, slowly I am putting categories and tags to all my posts.  I’m 10% done.  Seems like I should be closer to finished.  Ugh.

So, in leu of an actual post, here are some videos that caught my fancy this week.

First we have the Skittles Chocolate advertisement.  If all advertisements were this entertaining, I wouldn’t “Tivo” past them.  It’s so simple, yet so hilarious.  Maybe just to me, you be the judge

Next up is a documentary that calls out the coffee companies on their bean purchasing practices.  That really irks me about this movie, is how misleading it is.  [Disclaimer: I haven't actually seen it, but if it is as the preview advertises and most of these stories go, I think I know what's going on]

They act like companies, say… Starbucks, pay pennies on the dollar for the beans as compared to the price at the store.  What they neglect to mention is the fact that when the beans get to the beaneries, they are raw.  No treatments have been done beyond maybe some washing and curing in the sun.  They haven’t been roasted, flavored, QC’d, packaged and shipped.  It is the price at the scene.

It’s like calling out Chick-Fil-A for selling a sandwich for $2.59 when the breast they used for it cost them $0.65.  There were so many things that happened between the death of the chicken and the serving of the sandwich.

Now, I can’t say much for bulk coffee companies like Folger’s and Maxwell House, they are both notorious for poor practices.  Either way, the movie looks interesting.

And finally… No wonder the Sharper Image has filed for bankruptcy.  How stupid is this thing?  I mean, it looks fake it’s so bad.  haha

Another Prank Voicemail

February 24th, 2008 | 2 Comments | Posted in Just My Art, Just My Life, Just My Rant

I know who is sending these and while I actually kind of enjoy their humor, I do hope the people doing them don’t actually think I have ever fallen for the voicemail.  This one is from 314-757-1386 from Ladue Missouri

Anyway, I have gotten three or so of these voicemails and like I said, I enjoy them to some degree.  But… Let’s get real.  You dug through my dumpster to find my old discarded prescription medications.

Here’s the voicemail. 

And now a friendly message from Sister Maria

Whuzzah?

February 7th, 2008 | 2 Comments | Posted in Just My Fabulousness, Just My Life, Just My Rant

I’m all over iTunes, since the AppleTV my iTunes spending has been out of order… But I don’t pay a cable bill so it’s actually just about right and I get to keep the shows forever and watch them nearly anywhere.

So when a new show on ABC came out, I was all about getting the pilot episode.  They typically are good about their one hour shows.  The show is called Eli Stone and I really liked it.  Of course… I also really liked The Bucket List.  A lot.

Then I got to thinking, mind you I didn’t have to think too hard about this one… These two productions sure do seem similar.

  1. They are based around a character who spends a good deal of time in front of a court.
  2. Eli Stone is bisyllabic and then monosylabic as is Edward Cole
  3. Main characters names both start with E’s
  4. Both main characters are wealthy
  5. The both have brain phenomena (not the good kind)
  6. They are both dying (spoiler)
  7. They are both on a voyage to find themselves
  8. They both climb a fucking freezing mountain
  9. The Kicker?  They both carry someone’s ashes to the top of that fucking freezing mountain in a can of Chock Full o’Nuts Coffee can

It’s really quite ridiculous how similar they are, I could go one but I’ll be late for work if I do. 

Don’t let this discount the tv show, it is pretty great.  I got all teary eyed all over again, it’s like watching the movie (The Bucket List) but without the theater, expensive tickets and jerks in the back kicking your seat.
