Palin, Perry & Peacock

Well, it's been a hectic week for me. Lots of crazy going on. But things appear to be beginning to settle thankfully.

My Japanese class got canceled, which left me with not-enough credits and class starting Monday. I went in, and think I have a method of fixing it an enrolling in a "Modern Regional Geography" class - which I imagine is something like learning where all the countries are and their capitals, lol, which I would have a blast doing! In the spare time I had fixing that crisis, I straightened out my financial aid which is all set and good now.

Star Trek update: finally found time to play Star Trek: Online the other day, and they've added a whole bunch of new "diplomacy" missions - so its not all shooting and fighting any more, but it's got puzzle-y ambassadorial missions too now. Woo n.n I'm happy. I was doing a Diplomacy mission on Vulcan when I noticed the Vulcan writing on a pillar looked familiar...


! (The black and white is a reversed image from Memory Alpha, the Star Trek wiki. Some fan drew that as an example of Vulcan writing, and they used it in the game! I find that so cool. n.n I didn't make it, but I have asked the person who did make it to make a few alien language images before.

Song of the Day: "Peacock" by Katy Perry. Oh my god Katy Perry, really? This is just... crazy. It's apparently about a guy who brags about his "peacock" ...... -_-..... remember the days when people were clever with their innuendo? Anyway. The song progresses and apparently he wasn't exaggerating. Based on how dumb this song is, I have no doubt it will be the next Katy Perry single. Choice lyrics below...



"I wanna see your peacock, cock, cock
Your peacock, cock
Your peacock, cock, cock
Your peacock
I wanna see your peacock, cock, cock
Your peacock, cock
Your peacock, cock, cock
Your peacock
Word on the street, you got somethin' to show me, ee
Magical, colorful, Mr. Mystery, ee
I'm intrigued, for a peek, Heard it's fascinating...."

News Article of the Day: 11 College that give students iPads!

Quote of the Day: Bahaha, you know someone I haven't mentioned in a while time I feel?

"Ground Zero Mosque supporters: doesn't it stab you in the heart, as it does ours throughout the heartland? Peaceful Muslims, pls [please] refudiate."
—Sarah Palin, on plans to build an Islamic community center near Ground Zero, via Twitter, July 18, 2010

To which normal people responded "refudiate?" To which Palin responded...

"'Refudiate,' 'misunderestimate,' 'wee-wee'd up.' English is a living language. Shakespeare liked to coin new words too. Got to celebrate it!"

Losing all my Drive

First, a hair update. The dying went interestingly to say the least. I was reminded once again of how much of a cry baby I am, can't stand a little scorching burning sensation. While I was aiming for something along the lines of this , Circle K members seem to think I hit more of a Nazi kid from the movie "The Pacifier" -- I've actually never seen it, but Tiffany owns it and I'll have to borrow it sometime. (Googling a bit, this guy is likely who they're referring to.) Ugh, so had another stressful day. Since waking up I pretty much hadn't had five minutes to just sit down, and literally finally found 3 minutes to eat a Banquet in the middle of the day (roommates judge how they want - when I only have 3 minutes for a meal, I'm really not all that picky.) Got to vote, picked up my check from home, and took a wrong turn on the high way and ended up taking 8 South to 77. (Two separate ways to get to Akron, but taking one to the other was a major waste of

The Magic School Bus: "For Sail!"

Image
So I survived the weekend! What'dya know? On top of that, I finally figured out how uTorrent works, so I was able to download the entire series of The Magic School Bus - which has been helping me through those 4 hour shifts on campus (Am. Eagle is another story...) But it's 6 am, I thought I'd share with you some dazzling discoveries of merchandise and mementos! OMG! I TOTALLY had this toy growing up! :D And boy did I love it. I found it on eBay, but it's 30 bucks - and I don't *need* it, I have my memories from my Childhood, and it's just sit on a shelf somewhere... (NO! Must NOT buy it... fighting... urge...) But it was awesome! Part of the point of this blog is to keep pictures I find for future reference, gotta jog those Childhood Memories some times. See, the thing came with all those pieces, that fit inside the bus (The roof came off.) I remember being bitter about how of the things the bus could turn into, this drill one never appeared in an episode,

Observations on Captain Kirk's Quarters

Image
So I've been in a bit of a Star Trek mood lately, and right now I'm watching the movie Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country before bed. Having noticed a few things I'd never noticed before, I feel like I should publish them on the internet somewhere! Firstly, I have the utmost respect and love for the people who make the tiny details of Star Trek possible. Mike Okuda in particular, who designed all of the major Starfleet computer screen layouts. And a little random background in case your curious, Star Trek VI is the sixth Star Trek movie that came out a little after Star Trek: The Next Generation aired. It is the last film to focus solely on the original crew, and is set aboard the USS Enterprise-A (the second of six Federation Starships named Enterprise.) So, onto my observations! "...I can never forgive them for killing my boy." (Kirk's son David was introduced in Star Trek II, only to be killed by the Klingons in Star Trek III.) First thi
