mid weak (vol. XX)

Answer of the Day: Nick Lachey, sorry matt

and it's hot out. wtf. i mean i'm not complaining but wow. how bipolar can our weather get? it was 40 on  monday and i wore a jacket last week. the high for thursday is 80. 40 degree increase in 4 days! wow! it's so nice outside i can't contain myself. i want to do everything. especially some baseball. or rollerbladin'
or frolf which i haven't done in almost a year. btw these kids randomly stand outside my music class and throw their frisbee around every day. and they seemed ticked by the horde of students exiting the building. your standing right in front of a classroom! go to the giant field in the middle of campus! so missy and i decided to linger in front of the doorways so they had to continue to wait so they could resume their frisbee exchanges. they're weird kids
btw shout out to yeil park who was outside my class today playing cello for money. when i talked to him he had a crowd of people and had made 6 bucks. props yeil.

class is cancelled and i'm feeling random

my com studies class had "class canceled today" written on the board. so what do i do? blog.

i was just thinking... angel hair pasta? angel hair? that's weird. first off, the thought of eating hair is completely disgusting. second off, that doesn't sound right, secondly, if this was the hair of an angel, and assuming that angel hair is proportional to the diameter of a human's hair... i'm just assuming that, i don't know how coarse or luscious angel hair is, a human's hair is about eighteen thousandths of a millimeter. now if angel hair pasta is as thick as it is, that would mean that this angel who donated their hair to feed my family would have to be a giant. that's a giant angel, you would say. do angels eat their own hair? angel-cannibalism? i'm thinking too much into this
a huge angel. and you're eating it's hair. wow. but it's delicious so i wouldn't care.

i also saw this documentary recently by chris rock called, Good Hair. did you know that fake hair is a 50 million dollar industry? actually it may be different but it's a multi-million dollar industry and i forgot the number. mostly paid for by the black community. hair for weaves and such largely comes from india, where, get this, hair is one of their largest exports! there is also a religious ritual where women donate their hair to god. they grow it out about a minimum of 10 to 14 inches in length and have a big celebration. then they shave their heads. it's pretty crazy. angel hair pasta. donating hair to god? relation? i wouldn't eat indian hair though.

SPRING BREAK!!! ... was last weak (vol. XIX)

back from spring break. how lame. i meant to make my 101st post about it being spring break and how i wouldn't be bloggin' but it's spring break you know? but being back on campus is feeling pretty good. the weather feels so good even though it's only forty some degrees. back into the swing of classes and that's the only thing i dislike. i have this project due tomorrow, and let's say i'm not very far on it. i have to make a paper tool. that is a tool out of paper. a hammer to be exact. and then i have to draw all the pieces onto a sheet of paper. what a trbl project. luckily i got off work tonight so i can catch up from my procrastination. thanks ryan. you're a beast. speaking of beasts... the iowa state women's basketball team. i went to the first round of the ncaa tournament and they dominated. they had a close game over green bay but they pulled out a win. now it's off to ohio to play No. 1 uconn. ya they're undefeated. ya they haven't lost in almost 80 games. ya i picked them to win the championship on my bracket. but it's also women's basketball. i don't need to explain. Go Cyclones! The Twister Sisters! i don't really like that nickname but some people call them that. well on to the videos right?
right
i finally found this video again. classic

cutest thing ever!

just watch til the end

owned

funny lil tike

what comes after 99?

yeah betchs. it's the 100th blog post. and i feel like celebrating it. unlike some people who don't think the centennial post is anything significant. i mean, i could've gotten bored bloggin' and given up 89 posts ago. but no, i stuck it out. for what? you just asked yourself, i answer so you can know what i'm thinking. you're welcome for that.

what a great way to celebrate bloggin' today is friday. the last day before spring break. friends are returning. i get to sleep in. what a great feeling. ames high plays today. good luck! beat sc east! my last class today is for extra credit. and why not go? it's not like i have a life and go anywhere for break. i kinda lost my chapstick. so not really feeling medicated, moisturized lips right now. sucks, cuz i just found it. i took a research study today. for 3 credits. i watched videos and did tests. they told me not to talk about what i did, but my blog isn't that popular. we had to describe this man from memory and then we listened to an example of a professor doing the same. the professor and i both assumed the exact same height and weight for the guy in the video. i don't know if that means i was right, but i thought it was cool. but, it took the place of my friday morning, second floor library reading room nap. which sucked. but i've been chewing airheads to keep me going.
it's basically break. awesome. friends and work this week. i'm boostin' can't wait for this day to end. btw i just blazed through this silver and gold sudoku in class. IN PEN. boost. also boost to this hot girl who i randomly made eye contact with while walking and she's like,"have a good break!" i'm like "thanks, you too" random but still pretty cool. it made me smile.
hundredth blog post by the way.

i'll do my homework later because the lights are on

btw i found my chapstick yesterday. great feeling. also for my lips.
btw just saw a percy jackson and the olympians: the lightening thief advertisement on my blog. foreshadowing?

so i think i actually learned something in my intro to western civ. class. i know right? learning? at a university? that class is just like a boring gathering of random history i know, or won't need to know. it's so boring. when are professors going to learn that it is counterproductive to make kids fall asleep in their class? i would compare it to a club that dresses up and analizes things like checkers and the colors of things.
the other day we were talking about the industrial revolution. if you weren't a factory owner, it was a terrible job. poor pay, unhealthy working conditions, and long working hours.long as in, you worked as long as there was sunlight. morning until night, then you went home to eat barely nothing and slept. despite completely sucking, it was productive. when electricity came, things changed. you could work through the night. lights created artificial daylight. the darkness wouldn't hold you back anymore. more things could be done during the day. electricity increased the working hours. even more productive.
my professor's point was this. lights have made us lazy.
having lights in the library, for example, you can work until midnight, when it closes. you could stay up all night writing a paper because of lights. you don't necessarily have to do it in daylight, like people used to. my professor said because of electricity people take advantage of this. why do it now in the daytime, when i could just stay up all night working on it? lights have led to procrastination and laziness. i can do it later. you can put it off because you can illuminate a room and see what you are doing. what a crazy thing to think about.
i heard this during class and was thought to myself, "woah, i've never thought of this in that way. i do put things off because i have the ability to work through the night. man, i'm glad i didn't live during that time, and had a project due."
so i put down my sudoku and payed attention the rest of class

Answer of the Day: Once a semester. Thanks Matt

post mid weak (vol. XVII)

so i had another poster project. the swine flu one. i still don't know how that is not that easy to understand. do you get it now? the only thing i changed it that the "clouds" are now light blue. but i had to give the demon snot, i mean rubber cement another shot. it's the only glue i have. no causalities. i was just up real late cuttin' and pastin' but i turned it in today and the review went well. we had 8 reviewers not including my professor critiquing our posters. 8. wow. overkill? yea we probably needed one person to critique them.

 

Meet Dave

yea. that picture is awesome. now onto the videos.

so i was youtubin' and i came across this video...

and it reminded me that these guys BaratsAndBereta, the dude's who did man vs. toddler, which is hilarious btw, go watch that again. you know what? man vs. toddler but the kanye hands isn't the "same" guys. but the original got taken down cuz of copyright infringement. i know the feeling. i'm not sure if its just a rip off channel though. but i decided to also post some more of their videos. just because they are awesome and it's my blog.

now, others

i could watch this forever!!! you should probably watch it at least once

the devil's paste

Answer of the Day: The Mother Effin' United States of America!!!

well, thanks for reminding me. not.

this last project for design we had to cut and paste different shapes of colored paper to make an abstract design. and yea, it's not as simple as that, so don't think you know what to do. I chose to use rubber cement to glue the pieces down. more like the glue from hell. first i had to go at like one in morning to go buy some. it's pretty cheap though, which may be the reason i've had so much gall darn trouble with it. when i got home, i couldn't break the freakin' seal off the thing. i couldn't find the part you rip and i was getting pissed off. eventually i just twisted it so hard that the cap twisted off with the plastic wrap still on the lid and i got glue all over my hands. wow... wow.
i went to the sink to wash it off, but this stuff isn't your typical school glue. although it is elmer's. it's such a pain to get off, i wash washing my glue coated hands for like five minutes. i was working on my bedroom floor and my hands started to pick up dust and stuff in the carpet! i'm getting this gray lint stuck to my fingers! i tried rubbing off the semi dried lint and that sort of solved the problem. i continued to cut and glue paper and so on. i reached for the glue, and i am having a problem with this, the lid wasn't 100% screwed on, sooo i grabbed the lid and the brush flung rubber cement all over the back of my hand and fingers. wow... wow back to the sink.
after cleaning myself up for the second time, i returned to work. measuring and cutting paper. such a trbl project, i know. as i grabbed the glue, i saw it was on it's side. and since this glue was conjured up from hell, of course the entire container would spill out into a pool on my bedroom carpet. wow... wow.
so here i am, early morning scooping up handfuls of rubber damnation with paper towels out of my carpet. i was almost unable to finish. luckily, there was just enough remnants on the inside to swab up to turn in my project the next day. i just threw some paper towels on the great lake of rubber hell glue and went to sleep.
for the second part of this project we had to cut out images and paste them on. i decided to give elmer's glue a second try. besides sloppily getting glue on myself, things went pretty smoothly. i can't blame the glue for me rushing to get this done. when i came to class, i was laughing this whole glue thing off. i wanted to tell my classmates my story. i reached into my bag to take out my ruler... it's covered in glue. the freakin' demon glue spilled inside my bag on my art tools and i discovered this while reaching into my bag and getting glue-fingered, all while explaining the terrors of rubber cement itself. wow... wow.
i hate rubber cement
