I don't want to alarm you but I'm REALLY good at word sleuths.



...and tetris. In case you didn't know.

In fact I'm probably a word sleuth ninja. Although I bet if there's a word search/sleuth championship those professionals would own me in the w
ord sleuthing game. I
Googled it... there aren't any world word search champions as far as I could find... in my exhaustive search of the first two links on the first page of links.

Gap in the world championship market? Anyone keen to hold a word sleuth championships? No? Fine then, stick to your conventional sports like football, hockey and rock, paper, scissors.



Like this cartoon man we are also study gyroscopes. Unfortunately our gyroscope doesn't fly or talk. Bit disappointing really.

I'll get serious on your hat

It seems this blog posting deal is a monthly thing.

I just waited for a youtube video to load thinking it was a filmed live version of the song, to realise it wasn't, it was just the audio of it from the record WHICH I ALREADY HAVE. Well it IS 1:07am in the morning and I just finished writing some code for some assignment I have for that course I do at that uni I attend.
I also then just worked out an integral in the semi-darkness. I turned off the light a bit a go. I'm so hardcore. Next thing you know I'll be reading my text books under the covers like Harry Potter. That link goes to the latest Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: PART 1 trailer that I think came out last week. I'm fairly sure it comes out in Australia on the 19th of November. Which also happens to be the day of my last exam, no midnight release for me! =( But I guess I can see it afterwards as a celebration of finishing MY SECOND YEAR AT UNIVERSITY! Since we are talking about movies I saw this movie last week:


For anyone who can't read Japanese, it's Eva 2.0 You Shall (Not) Advance and it's a movie remake/alternate telling or something of the Neon Genesis Evangelion series, that I like and have watched many many times. The story line and themes are quite confusing at times, and I thought (for no apparent reason) this movie which is a sequel to Eva 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone would make more sense. I was wrong. The movie was just as confusing as the tv series except it was more condensed and the characters were slightly more well adjusted (in my opinion). Which was nice, except it kind of meant my favourite character didn't really have her spiral into her self-loathing, zero self esteem insanity which disappointed me because I liked that character arc. And it wasn't the English dub so it meant Kaji didn't have a sexy voice. Well I guess it was pretty sexy despite being Japanese but it's hard to call it sexy when you haven't a clue what he's saying unless you read the subtitles. Also it ended on a cliff hanger! =O

Hey it's 48 hours later!
Quote of the Month (probably year):

"Most of human history and arts can be expressed in Star Trek plots" - Stephen Fry.

This quote preceded a speech in which he explained how the show Star Trek was like Ancient Greece and how the plots and culture (respectively) outlined the struggle between human's ability for logic and reason and also their ability to be animalistic and act on pure desire and instinct. Animalistic is apparently not a word according to Google Chrome. Well I'm sorry, but I refuse to be more articulate and I shall make up words if I wish it. I was totally going to make a red shirt joke here but I forgot what is was. I shall assure you it was most likely hilariously funny and not at all contrived.
Celebratory sentence for Tool headlining Big Day Out 2011! =D

We have these in museums

Hey everyone it's SUNDAY!

Tomorrow is Monday (just in case you've forgotten how the days go) and I don't want to go to uni because I have two labs tomorrow. Which I guess is my own fault because I chose to have two labs on one day but... It seemed like a good idea at the time. On the plus side I'll get them over and done with; and then only seven more labs to go. (I think it's seven). For one of the labs the required equipment includes a "computer diskette" aka a floppy disk. Old school. I hope they don't expect us to actually have a floppy disk...


Mmm linky linkage. I'm not sure encouraging people to navigate away from my page is a good promoting idea but oh well. It's interactive! of sorts.
That was an effort and a half. Now I want to add more links. Lol at all the Legolas/Aragorn pictures I saw while retrieving this picture. Yay for slash fan fiction! Ergh I used 'lol'.

Looking through a Glass Onion

It's 2:15 am and naturally that means BLOG TIME!

I can't go to sleep so instead I am up observing the casual comings and goings of various social networking sites and the like. For example there are 6 of my friends online on Facebook right now. You can spell SMAKES with the first letters of their names. It's almost SNAKES, but not quite. Would've been more interesting if it was SNAKES. But oh well.

Also, more interestingly, Mick Jagger is a trending topic on twitter right now (along with #worldcup and #wewontlast) for the fact that, as far as I can work out, he went to a bunch of world cup games and the teams he was supporting lost and now Brazil hates him or something. Although it's not as interesting as when Lizzie McGuire was trending a few days a go. I think that was some marketing ploy by someone for something (I could probably be more vague there if you're wondering...).
As it is, if you click on the Mick Jagger trending topic and it comes up with all the related tweets you face two main choices, either to suddenly learn Portuguese, or to decide if you like hot women.
...I know which choice I'd make ;)

Right...I mean left!

Here's a question, if someone just randomly came up to you and inquired how your Hungry Jacks fries were would you think that was weird? I mean, what kind of person inquires someone who they have never met before over the age of 10 how satisfied they are with their HJs fries (on a scale from one to 10 where one is very dissatisfied and 10 is very satisfied)? I mean they're just chain fast food fries that people have everyday, nothing remarkable or new or unusual about them... I can think of three responses people would have on average 1) "Not salty enough/too salty
2) "Pretty shithouse actually"
3) "Um yeah they're ok..."
(Guess which one I went for!)
For those who may not live in Australia or New Zealand Hungry Jacks is like McDonalds, it's equivalent in the US, I believe, is Burger King, just in case you are confused.
Well I guess it's an icebreaker... of sorts.

I hope the last paragraph makes sense and you get the point I'm trying to get across. If not I understand, I'm not sure if it makes sense to me either. It's not a particularly life changing observation but I'm on holidays and don't have much to do except to (not) solve online riddles and make cupcakes.

Social experiment: Ask someone you've never met before how they are enjoying their standard fast food. See how they react. Write a blog about it, record a video of your experience, or even be creative and write some poetry or paint a picture.

LATER THAT DAY: Probably should edit and post this... I hope you enjoyed rambling of me at 2:15 - 3:00 am.


GO BACK TO SLEEP

This is the sound of your reason to wake.


Have we forgotten now? Can we relate?

So I may have just typed out most of the lyrics to All I Know by Karnivool and then erased them because I'm not sure what to write and those lyrics are by far better than I could come up with.

If anyone ever feels like getting me a present, I would like one of those massive jumbo tea cups you can get from T2. Mmm tea... You know who likes tea? William Moseley. He played Peter in the Chronicles of Narnia movies. I wonder what he's doing now... *quick google search* nothing much. sad face.
I was bored and didn't want to study calculus or civil so I drew this guy in the picture below. He may be based on a picture somewhere further down. Also the weird shadows across the paper are a form of artistic expression that is meant to symbolise teenage angst... lol JK I spilled tea on it accidentally and the paper dried non-flatly.



I cringed when I wrote that last sentence. Some Facebook fan pages are just ridiculous. If Facebook fan pages were all an intelligent life form had to go on when examining human life, they'd probably be very confused. Although they'd probably be confused anyway due to the probable extreme differences in contexts, but my point is... unsubstantiated.

I am struggling to find anything exciting or interesting to write. I bought cat earrings today.. Is that interesting? Not really. I just found and by found I mean noticed the stress ball in the shape of a hard hat which I got at a UWA open day that saids "Engineering @ UWA Use your head" I think I should have noticed it earlier during semester so I could have used it... or burnt it.

"You have the most unsubtle taste in jewelry I have ever seen in a woman!"

You'd better ask Metatron...

I hear he's quite the problem solver...

This is not a Muse reference

The other day I went back and read all my posts. And I discovered two main things

1) reading my old posts makes my head hurt.
2) Lot of Muse references. I counted 10. And I think there might be more...

Today I remembered that the other day I remembered I have $50 sitting in a PayPal account from like a year ago. I wish Paypal calculated interest.

But woo! $50 I forgot I had! Win! I'm tired. Does anyone read this? I like you.

The past will catch you up as you run faster, I know, the last in line is always called a bastard, I know.

I really like this picture.
