New Doodle

As I T.A. Organic Chemistry Lab, sometimes I get a little bored between answering questions and making sure people aren't putting themselves (and myself) at risk.

Though am I bored enough to make me as a stick figure as a samurai? Yes.

Black and White:













I prefer the black and white. Seems more stylized and suitable for the drawing.

Morning Quickie

Peter Bjorn, and John. Hung posted an old song from them randomly. Then today, someone on Facebook said their new album was really good. I investigated. I like. I think I know a new album I need to listen to.

[My Brother's] On a Boat

Special post goes out to my brother, Adam, today.

Every so often, Adam goes out on a boat to do research and his super fancy government work (just kidding, Adam. I don't know if its that fancy).

Thus in honor of him, I'm posting this:



I know its kinda old, but I feel like its the only video to post about this event.

Death of an X-Box

I've kept realizing that I have totally neglected any of my past scanned comics (mainly due to the Great Computer Crash of 2009).

Today, I rectify this problem with "Death of an X-Box", a story influenced by the Kill Cam in Call of Duty 4 as well as, you know, an X-Box dying. Special Guest Appearance by Jeff, Mikey's folding chair buddy.

Home School

I don't know if this makes me more or less envious of kids that were home schooled?

New Something!

I was playing around today with some stuff on my blog, looking at different templates and widgets and stuff.

But I finally figured out one I don't mind adding. A music player (the same as Hung's) with just a small sample of songs. No reason why I picked them, just wanted to get something up under it.

Happy!

First update from my [old] sexy computer! It works again and I am forever grateful to Mikey for it.

Goals for the Rest of the Semester

1. Finish my B.S. in Chemistry.

2. Decide what to do with my life next come August.

3. Beat the "Just Can't Wait To Be King" level in the Lion King on Sega.
3. a) Beat the entire Lion King game.

4. Beat the snowboarding level in Cliffhanger on the Sega CD. (Oh God, the other scourge of mine and my brother's childhoods).
4. a) Beat Cliffhanger.

Happiest Day of My Year?

Today, I made a bold choice. It was a choice riddled in hardships, but it will make me a better person.

I brought my Sega Genesis to Philadelphia.

And this lead me to one of my happiest moments of the new year: I finally beat the second level of the Lion King game. This was the level known as "Just Can't Wait to Be King" (a level that had the midi of the same song playing in the background. It was also known as the bright, water colored nightmare in my childhood.

But now, I have conquered my foe for the first time. Now it's time to show the rest of the game who doesn't suck (as much) anymore.

Another Day, Another 10 Dollar

I'm still on my Charles Hamilton grind today (yeah, the post title is a pun). This time its more representative of his creative sample side.
And it also makes me wanna pop my Sega back out...Hmm...that might not be a bad idea.

Charles Hamilton - Loser

Ahh, so good. Charles Hamilton is growing on me.

New Hard Drive!!!!

I finally got it! Now I just need to get this bad boy installed in my computer and start all over.

Estimated day I'll have a working computer again: Wednesday (unless Mikey loves me enough that he can install it in between studying for Pharmaceutics...probably not)

Saturday

If only I remembered to listen to this song every Saturday...(especially since Hung didn't let me listen to it otherwise when I lived with him).

FML

I'm supposed to have my new hard drive right now, but some dumbass who ordered it (.....me) put in the wrong address. So now my hard drive is sitting at UPS in Philadelphia. Worse thing is, I can't get it from UPS because the address on the package is wrong and doesn't match any of my documents.

I miss you computer., but the Mac Attack is a serviceable replacement.

I Love You, Man

I seem to be on a Paul Rudd kick lately (watched Role Models and Forgetting Sarah Marshall, also watched the opener for a show he writes for, Party Down). With that initial thought out of my head, I went to go see I Love You, Man last night.

Even though it's no Forgetting Sarah Marshall (possibly even Role Models, its too hard to tell right now since they're both really good), I really enjoyed the movie. Funny, direct, and honest, plus Rush?!?! What's not to like? Add in Jason Segel (I need to start watching How I Met Your Mother, but that's besides the point), Rashida Jones (one of the reasons I watched Boston Public, the other being that it was entertaining), and cameos from some Human Giant cast members, and this movie is another I'd recommend.

Songs I Can't Not Listen To

New song for this. Its the Counting Crows' "Einstein on the Beach".

Love the song, but bonus points for the video which happens to be one of the only anime series that I couldn't get enough of. (maybe more about that some other post....which also reminds me that I need to post my Vegas pictures. Sigh, come back to me computer!)

Role Models

So to break in Jizz's new tv (which he won in a raffle for 10 bucks, which is awesome), a bunch of us decided to watch Role Models. And I gotta say one thing, I loved it. Besides Paul Rudd, Stifler, and McLovin, the movie features a kid (literally) that's an unheralded star on me (and Hung's) favorite sketch comedy show, Human Giant, Bobb'e J. Thompson. Every one of his scenes is fantastic and hilarious. Overall, a must see comedy.

LMFAO ft. Pitbull - I'm In Miami

With the recent techno/dance/house/electronica mixed with rap kick my housemates have been on for the past semester, I'm surprised a song like this hasn't been posted soon.
Props to Kunj for always playing songs like this all the time.
No props for Deval who said he introduced the original song to me 4 months ago.

From the Mac!

Things That Make Me Upset:
#1. My computer not working. Sigh...it happened yesterday and it's killing me on the inside. Mainly because I really can't do any work and whenever I usually get bored in Philly, the internet is always there. Hope I can get this fixed soon.

If not, I need a good plan.

Erin Express

The Erin Express. Simultaneously both the best and worst decision of my weekend to go on it.
Definitely had a ton of fun yesterday, but the only accurate way to describe my energy and motivation to do work now is low. It also doesn't help that my seminar presentation (aka one of the two minor hurdles between me and graduation) is this week and my preparedness for it is also extremely low. The beginning of this week is gonna suck...

Songs I Can't Not Listen To

Such a chill classic rock song. My favorite Stones song and one that always finds a way to center me.

Tinchy Stryder - Take Me Back

Not really a new song by any means, but when you don't like in the UK, you probably won't hear songs from there too much. Tinchy Stryder is a grime artist. And if you don't know what that is, I just read enough wiki to figure it out. Combo hip-hop, dancehall, and electronic dance (I know, weird combo, but I'm really liking the song).

Another Quickie

Finally got back to Philly today. All I have to say is this:

1. The last week was ridiculously fun, but left me tired and not wanting to be in a plane or car ride for a long while.
2. I liked Texas A&M.
3. I need sleep. Changing time zones and daylight savings time didn't help on top of everything else.

With that said, maybe I'll get a real update later this week. Who knows...

Quick Hits

Just got back from Vegas and I figured since I don't feel like knocking out a huge entry (saving that for next week) and because I need sleep (flying to Texas A&M in the A.M.), I figured I'd knock out some quick shots on my trip.

1. The trip was awesome.
2. Drinks outside of clubs and bars aren't too expensive (12 pack of Corona for $13?, 6 pack of Budweiser American Ale for $4? I'm d).
3. Drinks inside clubs and bars are.
4. Colin played his new song, Gee, a crap-ton of times. It will be in my head for another week.
5. I really, really need some quality sleep and I'm not getting it until Sunday, but it was definitely worth it.

Songs I Can't Not Listen To

I try to keep this category mixed up, throwing in songs of different genres and whatnot. So I figured I'd redeem myself for Soul Decision and throw up a good song that isn't so questionable.

So take it away, Lupe. The first song I heard from you will always be my favorite.

Missing You

This comic is a tribute to the girl I miss the most, the one who always came in late to Biochemistry and I always think I knew why....
