Pink Flamingos in the Pool

As with every summer I don't spend in a foreign country, this year has been a dry one for blog posts. It's not even that I don't have the time, I just feel I don't have that much to blog about. I want to keep as much campaign and Circle K stuff off of here as possible for fear of it getting into the wrong hands. And those have pretty much been all the interesting things that have happened lately.

(This is an image from a Katy Perry music video, and not an actual picture from last night. I know in the past there has been some confusion.)

Last night Sarah had a summer party which was fun with some exceptions. A bunch of random people who don't normally come to their parties ended up coming (and a bunch of regulars were no shows, most of them "Andrew's friends.")

So I am crushed that Borders is closing :( I love book stores, I want them to always be around, and I don't want eBooks to take over! And I have a fierce sense of brand loyalty, I will argue with anyone why I like Borders better than Barnes and Noble even if there isn't a real reason. The same goes for why I don't want Blockbuster to fold and give in to Netflicks! But I have to admit, the blogs of Borders employee's I've stumbled across a time or two in the past week have been pretty entertaining and make me think twice about when the customer is right...

Site of the Day: Zug.com, apparently a collection of articles on pranks. The one that got my attention was the guy who signed his name something funny for years waiting for the credit card company to decline something (never did, and the only business to finally ask for his ID was... well, I won't spoil it.) Reminds me of the Txt From Last Night about the guy who signed his reciept Lady Gaga.

Upcoming Movie of the Day: Friends with Benefits.... oh wait, this came out Friday! Dang, this is what happens when I put off writing a blog for so long :-/

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
