fly me to the moon

One small step for man, one giant leap for ma--- whinnie the pooh?

little astronaut toys are exciting.

Space is a very interesting topic. Both types of space actually.

Space: a blank area
Space (Outer): any location outside the Earth's atmosphere.


Everyone enjoys blank areas, that are usually reserved for something. In other words: this is my lego play-space. This is your space in which you can nap. This is my sexy-time space... and so is this... and that too.

Not everyone enjoys Outer Space... but they should.

Outer Space has very distinct forms of loving it. You can love it from a science point of view, from a history point of view, from a geography point of view, you can love it from an astronomy point of view, you can love it from an astronaut point of view, you can love it from a science-fiction point of view, etc. My favourite(s) being the last 2 (disbarring of course 'etc').


Who doesn't want to be an astronaut and walk on a surface that is not our own, go out into the galaxy and find new life, play on different surfaces, and leap around in 0G. The universe is an expansive place, and one day the hope is that we will be able to move freely among the stars, it only saddens me that i was born in the era where that wasn't happening.


The science-fiction aspect of course, represents that era; where huge galactic frigates do war in space, or where humanity has colonized distant planets, or where deep-core mining ships traipse the galaxy looking for raw minerals... they are all so glorious.


Space, the amazing frontier.

thispostisgay.

Before the Internet was invented, gay people were those in society who were attracted physically and emotionally to members of the same gender. Since the Internet, everyone and everything is gay. From the gun they use to kill you, to the voice they use to communicate with you, it is all gay, gay, gay. Lag is gay, snipers are gay, noobs are gay, people from other countries are gay, the countries they come from are gay, the ocean the country it's surrounded by is gay, the fish in the ocean are gay, all sealife is gay, life is gay, gays are gay, gay gay gay. Gay.

Using the same one-syllable word to describe everything you don't like might not be an indicator of a varied vocabulary, but who cares? Words are gay.

Quote.

"... when a man hears the same things said about him often enough, he begins to believe them. Tell a child often enough that it is worthless and beneath contempt and it will start to believe such a vile statement is true. Tell a man he is a hero, a giant amongst men, and he will believe that too, thinking himself above all others."

I'm doing just FUCK YOU!

The following rant is brought to you by medication-induced craziness.
you have been warned


The phrase "[and] how are you doing?" has become far too commonly used, and has been butchered. For a phrase that is meant to inquire to someone's personal well being, it is now as commonplace as "hello". When someone says "How are you doing" the standard response is "fine, how are you?"; neither party expecting a real response, its just a formality. To actually inquire how someone is 'doing' you have to be creative with your phrasing, because synonyms of "how are you doing" imply the exact same issue due to the commonplace of the greeting. So, with that knowledge saying "how are you doing" is about the same as going "fuck you" in passing - each implies a lack of caring for the other person.

So, next time you pass someone just say "Hello". Save "how are you doing" for a time when you actually care how the other person is feeling.

The Reason.

The reason for the Twilight Phenomenon (as explained by VGcats)


[BY THE WAY: I approve of true blood. It's a pretty decent show, about pretty lore-correct vampires. Vampires burn up in sunlight, they dont fucking sparkle.]

I want!

Fanexpo is rolling about soon, August 28-30, and I need to gather me some monies for some wicked swag. The problem with that is: I don't have a job to get monies for wicked swag. That doesn't stop me from dreaming...

Among the things I plan on getting there, first and foremost is some new clothing. Since the writes of both LFG and Least I Could Do are going to be there (same company actually) so will their swag.


100% Getting [if they have them]:




Want:





It really sucks that Red vs Blue aren't going to be there again this year, I wanted to get a new hat, and some new shirts... too bad. I also plan on getting such illustrious things as: Some new stickers for my laptop, hopefully some more hellsing, depending on the price the Evengelion boxset, possibly a patch or 2 for my satchel, an attractive skantally clad woman (possibly of the Sailor Moon or Final Fantasy variety), and probably some other neat swag... of course I most likely won't have the money... but oh well.

Monday, July 20, 2009

From this day onwards...

Any piece of technology in my possession will get the name "skynet" (if nameable).

My laptop needs a new sticker...

When your scared...

Something illogical has occurred to me. When someone is scared of the dark, or noises at night, or big scary things, they hide under their covers. What doesn't make sense is it is actually much darker underneath the covers, since no light at all is able to get in. Also: with covers draped over your head how would you be able to see said horror that would be sneaking up on you to eat your flesh and defile your body.

It is all very illogical. However, that doesn't stop me from cowering beneath my covers whenever I get scared. Perhaps I shall have to consult a psychiatric specialist to find out the reason people do such a silly thing...

In the mean time I shall suggest a better means of stemming off late night fears. Get a firearm of some sort (preferably a pistol) and hide it under your pillow. Let those monsters sneak up on you!... instead of a firearm you could go with a big metal object... if you don't have one of those go for a little metal object. If you are without any of the above I suggest hiding under your bed. If you can't hide under your bed I suggest tactically withdrawing under the covers, where of course you will be much safer.

If you don't have any of those, my suggestion is... um... well that would mean your poor and sleeping outside, and in that case you have more to worry about than flesheating monsters - try hobo's, serial killers, mongoose, chickens, rabid house cats, and axe wielding murders.

Too true...

I don't even need to blog about my angst with the internet when my good friend Sohmer (okay not my good friend... more of a guy-who-writes-web-comics-that-I-read) sums it up in such a better way:

"I've talked before about the demise of written language, largely due to the internet. With symbols, shorthand and 'leet speak' so common online, I can only shudder in horror at the thought of how future generations will write to each other.

What's become even more disturbing to me, however, is how lazy we've gotten about communicating. Allow me to give you an example.

It's John's birthday today and being the close friends that you are, you seek to wish him a very happy birthday. To accomplish this feat, you will:

A )Write on his facebook Wall
B )Send him a twitter message, never forgetting the @
C )Compose a MySpace Private Message
D )Send him an E-mail
E )Head on over to Hallmark.com, to grab one of their many clever birthday e-cards
F )Mention him in your next Blog post
G )Comment on his LiveJournal post
H )Send a Txt Message
I )Pick up the Phone and Call him

Be honest with yourself, which option did you choose?

All of us, myself included, have gotten lazy. Technology may have enabled it, but we made the choice, and we continue to make that choice. As time goes on, I suspect that the pick up the phone option won't even appear in your thought process.

What we're doing is creating a society that is so impersonal, that our children will feel more comfortable typing on a keyboard in the privacy of their own home, as opposed to direct human interaction. That's not a pleasant though, to me.

Do me a favor, won't you? Next time you need to get in touch with someone, whatever the reason, either pick up the phone or go see them face to face.

It makes a difference."
It's like poetry, just more awesome... and doesn't rhyme... and doesn't really match format.... actually it's nothing like poetry...

Yahoo... raises more questions.

Recently I have become addicted to yahoo answers. I enjoy helping people that fail at using google, in fact my info page even has a fun new quote: "If people knew how to use google, there wouldn't be a yahoo answers section for video & online games".

Obviously that is the section that I stick to, since I can be the most helpful there. The neat thing about yahoo answers is you get points for answering questions, and more points for getting the BEST answer (and it makes you feel like a hero). Now, I've been using it for 3 days, and have answered 41 questions, received 3 best answers, and 36 of the questions are still open (so I might get best answer for them still, and most likely will).

Its fun, but obviously since I'm blogging about it, it has its downside. That actually isn't the stupid people that can't use google, they make me giggle. When I can spend 5 seconds googling something, and copy and past the answer and the url (as my source), its funny. It is the people with HORRIBLE spelling, grammar, questions, or... well... not questions. To show my frustration with some of these people:
i am a human warroir and i like my warroir a lot. but a lot of people say that the warroir sucs.and i think i want to become a death knight but i want too be a waroir. im just wondering if the death knight is better than the warior or r they the same. i really want to be a waroir but people say it sucs.and i was just thinking when blizzard makes a new expansion pack they might make the waroir better. so my main question is the waroir or death knight better.please tell me the differences. and also i really like my waroir im in lvl 16 and i am thinking of becoming a deathknight.but want to be a waroir forever.but people say they suc. i will give u 10 points.
See? WHAT THE HELL?! Usually they aren't that bad, but there are a lot of times where I have to figure out what the person is asking before I can even answer their question, sometimes I just give up.

I stick to answering questions in the video & online game section (which, I guess is where the stupid people are, damn 1337 kids and their hibbity hop spelling for "u" and "r" and "ne") but that doesn't mean I don't go check out other sections for a laugh, for an upchuck, whichever. For instance:

"I had unprotected sex today, stupid i no, but i got my period yesterday, will i still get preganant?" - that means she was on her period while having sex... unprotected sex.... /barf.

[paraphrased, trust me, you didn't want to see the original] "oh man!!!! what do I do!!! my brother just found out I've been cutting myself. He just went down to tell my dad!!! What do I do?!?!!?! I'm so scared, omg" - ya, you get the jist.

"can I get pregnant from giving a guy [oral sex]" - hehehehehehe

To sum it up:

The best way to sum up the internet is by using wikipedia. However, the best way to summarize the users you will regularly find on the internet:



True story, if your giggling quite hard right now its probably because you have seen that happen about 1000 times (usually if you frequent youtube).

No one messes with the Batman.

You might of heard about this, maybe not, either way.

Christian Bale is starring in Terminator 4 as John Conner. While on set, doing his acting thing, apparently the light guy had to cut across the area (the cameras were not rolling at the time). What do normal people go? Pause and wait. What does Batman do? Rips off his head and rapes the corpse.

He verbally raped this camera man, for a good 2 minutes, at least. Since youtube is... well... youtube, somehow the audio recording made it up. However, what this means is there has been about 3,000,000,000 spoofs and distortions of the original, so its kind of buried. However, family guy did a spoof using the actual recording of Bale.

[Note: The other person (not Peter) IS Christian Bale, and IS the actual recording of him flipping on the lights man]



(family guy's is pretty funny, I wish I could find the whole unedited non-spoof version though, I want to know what the camera man actually responded with)

The 'famous'

[long time no post. With school, WoW, my comic, and my girlfriend, it is kind of hard to get around to update, however I will stick to a schedule if an agreeable one is posted in the comments section of this post.]

When someone says "famous people" the first thought of most is the Hollywood Stars, or stupid blonds who abuse their fame, and are stupid. However, the internet community has its own famous people, that are equally, if not more so, awesome.

At the forefront of internet stars are the Web Comic writers, and the Youtube stars. This is about the second category. I was going to go into a whole bunch of the more famous youtubers and what they do and such, but then I thought...

No.

Souljaboy is one of those 'stars' so screw that crap. Also the vast majority are either really really really stupid, or gay and stupid. I forgot to mention the Parquor people, and the continental dancers. If your really interested in the famous of youtube, they had an award ceremony where a large amount of said famous people showed up. That would be [here].

The person I will talk about, is one with actual talent: Bo Burnham. This is a 18 year old, that sings some really hilarious songs, that are well done. He was at that award ceremony. Actually, there will be less talking about him, and more going "if you don't know about this guy, check him out, here are links to all his current youtube songs". Note: when I say good, I mean he has played at concerts because of his youtube fame.

Sorry, but the songs that he does that are on youtube the piano is a little loud (when the piano is used). However if you feel the need I know thepiratebay happens to have his CD "Bo Fo Sho" (I do not support Pirating this... *cough*). His CD also has 3 songs that ARE NOT on youtube (from bo), but are fucking amazing.

My whole family...

I put these in the order of MY personal favorite to least favorite out of his youtube songs. So, if you do end up watching them all (they're worth it) think about dropping a comment with your order.

END OF THE WORLD!!!

'ze zombies are coming!

A roadsign on the side of a highway in Austin, Texas warns motorists of what is up ahead - living dead apocalypse.


That is what the sign really said, and the picture was taken on a cell phone camera. However, the sign is not of the legal, or literal manner. It was in fact the work of a 'hacker' who broke the lock, and reprogrammed the sign to say "CAUTION! ZOMBIES AHEAD!!!! SEEK COLD CLIMATES!". Then the 'hacker' changed the password on the lock, and ran away, meaning the sign had to be fully reset.

Rumour has it that this was a just an advertising scheme by Capcom for Resident Evil 5. However an official statement from a Capcom employee states that this 100% had nothing to do with them, since it is illegal. That doesn't stop them from receiving free marketing however.

A lot of people aren't too happy about this, mainly the police. This "work of a master hacker" doesn't really break major laws, the most severe is actually "vandalism". The "master hacker" comment was made by Austin's Chief of Police."How to Hack a Road Sign" has been posted on the Internet, and to me it doesn't seem like a very hard thing to do... in fact it seems like its pretty easy.

So... who wants to change a road sign to say:
"HONK IF YOUR GAY FOR JESUS" ?

Esca-Rancher.

So, a lot of people have fond memories of the show Escaflowne. It was one of the first anime on TV that were pretty widely watched by a younger audience. The show is (in a nutshell) about a group of people who pilot medieval mechs, on a mythical planet, fighting against an evil nation.

More of the people reading this however, probably remember the show Monster Rancher. That also had a person who got teleported to a mythic land to fight an evil nation of baddies. However, instead of mechs, they had monsters that they summoned from discs they found.

I fondly remember both of these shows, and have actually recently watched both; Monster Rancher was last year, and I just spent the weekend watching Escaflowne. While watching Escaflowne the first time (first of this time, so friday)), I watched it in Japanese with English subs (everyone who watches anime knows the japanese voices are much better, however sometimes the case is not wanting to read). The second time I watched it with my girlfriend, and she wanted to watch it in english, because she 'remembered the english being OK'. It wasn't. However, as I was watching it I realized something: Escaflowne, has many of the Monster Rancher voice actors.

A quick IMDB reveals I was right!:
I think that is pretty funny just how many are shared between the two. The sad thing is the person that voices Genki and Dilandau sucks for both roles... or well... its more suited for Genki but still.

Boo is for bandwidth.

Bell sympatico sucks, everyone knows this. Mostly because of those fun hidden charges, such as: "cheapest, fastest internet" what they don't tell you is: you have to pay double the listed price, because you have to rent the router. Their service staff seem as though they have never actually used a computer before, and that you interrupt their day by calling. Their "fastest internet" is apparently a 8mb/s connection. However that would mean that in such things as WoW, my latency should be almost 0, not upwards of 150.

The most fun thing about bell however, is that they have a limit on bandwidth. The top account they have can only have an upload/download limit of 60gigs a month. A lot of people go "I don't download that much, in a month, thats fine". Everything you do contributes to this: World of Warcraft, torrents (to figure out how much this will cost you, its not just the size of the download, because remember your uploading at the same time, so multiply the download by about 1.5 to find out the toll it will take), youtube, etc.

For each gig that you go over the limit, you are charged $1.5. Did I mention that bell doesn't actually mention this anywhere? that its only after your charged, if you ask, that they tell you. Anyway, I'm already over this month, which means I'm paying the extra fee, and there are still 5 days to go before next month.

IGN raped my childhood.

IGN is one of the Internet's most reputable gaming site; its reviews are always in detail and well done, it provides free in-depth walkthroughs, they provide pretty good gaming news. They also do a top 100 list every so often, and this is where IGN fails. Most of the time their lists contain a lot of questionable placing.

Now, if there is a god for little nerdy children, I'm sure he's committing seppuku right now. There are SO many things wrong with this list. However for the sake of the rage building up inside me, i'll just save some time and outline some of the larger facts:
  • Naruto beats 62 shows? no! just... no! Especially not most of the ones above it.
  • Beavis and Butt-head is probably the stupidest show ever.
  • The Simpsons is not the best animated show of all time.
  • Hellsing (one of the greatest anime of all time) didn't make it on the list, at all.
  • WHERE THE FUCK WAS REBOOT?!
um... this'll get lengthy... so I'm just going to be quite now...

oh for some added rage-inducing fun here are some of IGN user's comments:
Naruto - undisputed NUMBER 1
NO CONTEST!
Japanese voiceovers obviously, english one sucks.

Uhhh Family Guy......is NOT funny. Go watch the South Park two-parter called Cartoon Wars, and then come back here and tell me that Family Guy is funny. For Christ sakes it is written by a bunch of manatees.
Posted by: zumt on January 23, 2009 14:25 PDT
According to IGN, there are over 40 cartoons better than Tom and Jerry.
Say it with me again...
IGN SAYS THAT THERE ARE 40 CARTOONS THAT ARE GREATER THAN TOM AND JERRY.
This countdown has lost all credibility.
Posted by: rainman1003 on January 15, 2009 17:59 PDT
I didn't read the whole list because you guys did one per page...yeah I know...100 other posters said the same thing...WELL I'M 101 DAMNIT! Naruto better make it close to if not top 10 on this list. Yes...even though I've never actually watched the whole series FMA should be higher (come on...who is making this list...is this person an anime fan?) Also there it would be a tragedy if Berserk is not high on this list. Oh and when I say Naruto I mean the Japanese with English Subs version, not the cheesy Cartoon Network crap. And easo91...you can't really talk if you almost always hate anime because if you almost always hate anime then you most likely have no clue what you are talking about when it comes to anime. That's like me saying, "Hey little girl you should get the mean looking Doberman Pincer over there as a pet cuz I know what I'm saying since I pretty much hate dogs."
Posted by: Lucist on January 17, 2009 19:19 PDT
[paraphrased, lost actual comment] "DragonBall Z totally deserves to be lower then Naruto. Naruto at least has real character, all dragon ball Z has is stupid characters that shoot lightning out of their hands"
*dear lord, here my prayers, smote everyone that works at IGN, twice. Please?*

Stupid 'Celebs

Apparently because their famous they can totally screw with their children. Brittany Spears apparently has been asking her two sons to spy on her ex-boyfriend (K-fed) and his new girlfriend. Any time they come back from being with their father she asks them all kinds of questions like: "did she stay the night" or "is she a sleazy whore just like mommie?" or "what does she like to do". To me that seems like an abuse of her parental privileges.

However Brittany's creepy stalker-like obsession doesn't just involve her children. She asked her own bodyguard to get information from K-fed's body guard about the new girlfriend of his. She also 'interrogated' K-fed's maid and friends.

Just because your famous doesn't mean you can stalk people... right?

[article here]

Celebrities also abuse their parental privileges in other ways: Naming their children. Some celebrities have given their children horrible names. Here's a list of some 'celebs that have given their children names that they'll be changing when they are old enough (I'm just including the more famous 'celeb in the couple as the parent):
  • Gwyneth Paltrow
    • Apple (girl)
    • Moses (Boy)
  • Penn Jillette
    • Moxie CrimeFighter Jilette (girl)
  • Helen Hunt
    • Makena'lei (girl)

MSN video

MSN video is a website that displays a whole lot of 'popular' videos and such found around the internet. MSN has little thumbnail links at the bottom of the main window that will take you to the site - and the video you clicked on.

Well, when I get bored I will click on things that look 'interesting' (or have a pretty lady on them, or could be something to make fun of). Now thats where I get in trouble; most videos on MSN video are music videos, and most of those are the female singer ones. Therefore: I end up watching a lot of 'girly' music videos. That is pretty OK with me, because sometimes they are funny, but the problem is this: fuck they're catchy.

MSN music video finds:

Fly on the Wall - Miley Cyrus

Comments about this video:
  • I clicked on this because frankly: I had never actaully heard Miley Cyrus (who I think is Hanna Montana... or I'm wrong... I'm not so hip) sing before.
  • L0000000000000000000000000000000000000L
    • I was kind of hoping that he would turn into a werewolf, but paparazzi works too I guess...
    • He has a lame stalker cam!
    • This whole video I was thinking "why are the paparazzi doing coordinated dance moves? Apparently (if you watched to the end) Miley over there was baffled too.
    • Also: last time I checked: dancing in a parking lot does not actually get you away from the paparazzi.
      • also: last time I checked having a seizure doesn't count as dancing. Sorry Miley.
  • Its not catchy, but has a fun music video so...
Hot'N'Cold - Katy Perry

Comments about this video:
  • This was the #1 commented on video a while back, so I thought I'd check it out.
  • No wonder he's iffy about getting married. He's like 16.
  • Anyone see Shrek the bridesmaid? (note: the one that looks like a man)
  • More music videos should have waldo somewhere in it, it would have been funny to find him in this wedding.
  • Note: the preacher when the music comes on. He's doing the "rap headbang" (I don't know my moves, but that's what I'm calling it)
  • I love the dance the dudes are doing.
    • I thought there was only 1 man-maid in a wedding?
  • "You don't really wanna stay? go" She chases him for the whole music video, kind of contradictory?
  • (1:25) I think they're making a "he needs help getting his wiener up" joke.
  • (2:15) Creepiest. Bride. Ever. (same with the bridesmaids)
  • yay for coordinated dancing in dresses with baseball dances.
  • If you've seen palse you would understand why she's on his phone.
  • (3:15) She actually looks quite attractive there.
  • Wait... it was all an LSD drug drip fantasy?
  • Its catchy and has a fun music video.
Love Story - Taylor Swift

Comments about this video:
  • She was pretty, what can I say?
  • Also: apparently I 90% of the copies of this video have embedding disabled.
  • The costumes and set are pretty awesome.
  • Ball rooms rock.
  • Catchy song, good video, attractive woman.
I kissed a Girl - Katy Perry

Comments about this video:
  • I had never actually heard this full song, so I thought I would watch it.
  • Is it just me or does she look like the woman from "Bones"?
  • Brittany Spears should have been the one to sing "I kissed a girl".
  • Best day ever was when there was a kid in my welding shop singing along to this (you know how those gangsta/druggies think they're the shit with women) and then reached the "I hope my boyfriend don't mind it". He didn't realize until a couple of seconds later, and then he was made fun of.
  • Fun song, not so catchy, not the greatest music video.

However not all of the videos I find via MSN videos are girly songs and such.

Whosthetank

If you know the old "who's on first" skit this is a parody of that, and I found it to be hilarious.

Note:

You know your a true gamer when: when life intercepts with gaming, it takes a back seat until unavoidables. Unavoidables being defined as any non-user generated wait. This includes load screens, search times, boring cutscenes, opening videos, etc.

Even though almost every game has a pause feature, it is still a habit to put whatever has come up on hold until one of the unavoidables. Pauses are only reserved for getting the phone, being yelled at, and kissing the girlfriend.

examples:
World of Warcraft: waiting to go to the bathroom while your character is resting up, or on a flightpath.
Online FPS (Halo): having to pee halfway through a match and holding it in until the match ends. Most wait until they have initiated a search for a new game.

Why? It saves time of course! Also: load screens are times that you have to wait anyway, and if you wait it seems longer. So: get up and pee.

Or... you could always keep kitty litter in the corner of your room and pretend you have a cat...

Thumbs Up.

My friend Chris Vesterfelt got me a really sweet present for Christmas, and I received it yesterday from his girlfriend (because I didn't see him all break). It was a shirt, a really amazing shirt (that's me today, wearing the shirt in my long-sleeve-undershirt fashion):


Since the shirt I was wearing yesterday was one where the undershirt is attached to the overshirt it meant that I couldn't wear the shirt he got me yesterday. Then I forgot it in my locker at the end of school (I didn't want to lose it, so that's where I put it) so I wouldn't be able to wear it to school. Instead I just wore an "undershirt" (aka long sleeve shirt, no t-shirt over top) to school, and went straight to my locker (since I got there late anyway) and put the Fallout 3 shirt on.

I love it.

(I was going to get Chris a present, but I didn't have enough money to get it at the time. I was then going to give him an IOU for said gift but his girlfriend went and ruined it by telling him what I was going to get him. /pout)

Great day.

Normally I complain a lot about going to school, but today was a very good day.

It started at 8:15, when I woke up; my bus comes at 8:00. That means I was automatically going to be late for school and I didn't need to ride the bus (the passengers which are mostly composed of druggie kids). Since today was Tuesday it meant that the VON (Victorian Order of Nurses; on call super-nurses) was here for my great-aunt (who has super-Alzheimer's). That meant that I couldn't leave until the VON left, which was at 9:00, which meant more sleep for me. Then, I made it to school 1/2 way through 1st period, so I didn't need to do any work there.

In second period my teacher gave me a surprise. Its an autographed picture from David Kaye. The reason she gave it to me was because about a month and a half ago she had stated that he nephew (or something like that) was the voice actor for one of the transformers, one of the big (as in major) ones. So of course I listed off who she meant, and then asked what series it was from, or what year; she didn't really know. So she got me his autograph.


David Kaye's more notable voice acting jobs:
So pretty much: he's a pretty famous guy, and I have his autograph.

The second awesome thing that happened today had to do with money. Yesterday I had to spend about an hour and fill out an online survey about post-secondary schooling. Then today I got out of all of third period, and most of fourth period to do part 2, 3 and 4. As soon as I entered the room and sat down they handed me $20. Then I filled out a 130 questionnaire about money choices (eg: would you prefer $300 now or a $2000 grant for post-secondary education). Then when I finished that I had to do a booklet with a whole bunch of basic real life application math questions. After that was quickly out of the way I went into the back room, drew a ball out. The number on the ball corresponded with one of the questions in the first booklet (the 130 question one), then I got whatever my answer was. In this case I won $75. So for doing nearly no work I won $95. Yay!

Doctor Poo

Doctor who has been a long time BBC (The UK's main TV station) hit. It ran for a total of 26 seasons, and one movie; but then it was canceled. 4 years ago they brought the show back for a new season/series. It is technically still Doctor Who, and it continues the same story and history of the old show. This time around its a little more... refined.

Well the new series started in 2005, with Christopher Ecelson playing the 9th doctor (the number continued from the old series, Chris being the newest). To keep the show running for so long BBC did a clever thing: they made it so every time the doctor 'died' he would regenerate, with a new face and personality. That way they can just change the actor and say it is another regeneration, but its still the doctor.

At the end of the first season Christopher Ecelson (Aka the 9th doctor) died and was replaced by his 10th reincarnation: David Tennant. David Tennant was by far the best person to have ever been the doctor. Without going into too much detail I'll sum him up: He's "fantastic" (ooh! reference!).

David Tennant's reign as the doctor lasted through 3 seasons, but alas it is coming to an end. According to him it is for several reasons: (1) he didn't want to be on the show too long, 'overstaying his role' (2) he wanted to move on after 3 years, (3) Russle T. Davis and the Producer are leaving. Which means that the fourth season is to be his last. He is still staying around for 4 (3 now, one aired at Christmas) more specials, but afterwards he shall be replaced.

So just who is the man replacing David Tennant as the 11th doctor? Well BBC kept it a huge secret until Saturday at 5:50pm (UK time) when a special Doctor Who Confidential aired. It showed who the next Doctor would be, the man that has to follow up the all-time greatest man ever (yes, I am possibly in love with David Tennant).

This bloke is the one replacing David Tennant for the 5th season of Doctor Who (which if I haven't mentioned is my favourite TV show):

Oh ya, that is him, that is the "bloke" playing the eleventh Doctor. To me he looks sinister, dark, and has a stupid haircut.

His full BBC interview about the roll:



I highly doubt I'll even watch the 5th season because of this jerkwad. I might watch the first episode, with the sure thought in my mind that this might be the last episode of Doctor Who that I watch. If I don't mind it (doubtful) I might watch another, with the same thought, and so on.

Getting it right

HAPPY NEW YEARS!

Finally I got it right, it took me 4 tries but I got it right. Since its Christmas break I'm slightly off on what day of the week it is, let alone what day of the month it is. Therefore for the past 4 days I have been wishing various friends "HAPPY NEW YEARS" at 12:00 but then being told that I'm off...

Kind of makes you feel silly. Sillier was I had a Happy New Years post that I posted at 12:01... this morning. Then realized that I was off when I looked at the post date, that post went byebye ASAP.

WELL I hope that everyone is having a traditional New Years Blast (or having a nerdy New Years Blast - Video Games and reading blogs)! Also don't forget to make some good resolutions that will contribute to the lives of many.

My New Years Resolution: be a jerkwad on the Internet.
