The Internet is for Porn

This is a hilarious video. The images are SFW, the lyrics are borderline NSFW. The music is from a Broadway show called Avenue Q, which I might see in Vegas in a few weeks.

Beer Me

26 Feb 2007
in the late afternoon

This is awesome…and potentially a fun summer project I might need to try out.

From www.duke.edu:

Have you ever gotten up off the couch to get a beer for the umpteenth time and thought, “What if instead of ME going to get the BEER, the BEER came to ME???”

I know I have…

Well, that was how I first conceived of the beer launching fridge. About 3 months and several hundred dollars later I have a fully automated, remote controlled, catapulting, man-pit approved, beer launching mini-fridge.

The really good part starts at the 76 second mark.

Sick

21 Feb 2007
just before lunchtime

I’m sick. I’ve been steadily getting worse since Saturday.

I’m not running a temperature, but I have a splitting headache and I’m all congested now.

Ibuprofen, Mucinex, and Airborne.




The Situation

19 Feb 2007
just before lunchtime

This is a follow up to this mornings incident. This is what the situation seems to be:

The Lady-Downstairs is hearing noises, but can’t identify what they might be. She says it sounds like a printer. I’m upstairs going about my businesses in a reduced fashion in order to be as quiet as possible. He’s the frustrating part, her statements are so vague and inaccurate that A) I don’t know what she’s talking about, or B) She complaining about something that I have the perfect right to do. Either way, I can’t do anything about it.

My hands are tied and she’s bitching and complaining about it.

I have less then 3 months left in this apartment. I’m contemplating considering moving out, I don’t know where. Maybe a hotel or something if they’d cut me a deal. I really can’t have any more of these knocking incidents as they keep me up longer then I want to and cause me great stress, frustration, and anxiety.

As it turned out, I did end up skipping my first three classes today. Mostly due to lack of sleep, also due to the fact that I am sick. I also email my circuits professor and he’s agreeable to let me take the makeup circuits exam next week. That will help with the stress and anxiety of today and tomorrow.




The Police

19 Feb 2007
terribly early in the morning

Not the band, but me actually calling them.

The officer almost wrote her a ticket, but instead agreed to come back on Tuesday at 3 to work things out…maybe write a ticket? He noted that the whole thing is ridiculous…which I completely agree with.

Apparently, I might have been printing (I wasn’t…I can assure you of that), because that’s what it sounded like…according to the lady downstairs.

Know what sucks…I have to get up in 2.5 hours and I can’t really take the day off because I’ll get too far behind. I also have a fucking exam tomorrow (Tuesday) that I still have to study for. And a pre lab due tomorrow.

I need to find my Lexapro Lorazepam.
