Today a guy in one of my classes was talking to me. He was kind of jabbering on and seemed a little off socially, but I thought, "Well, maybe he's just a late bloomer and needs to grow into himself or something."

But then he showed me the initials "S. G." carved into his arm and said they were for his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez. And then added that now he's dating Demi Lovato. I stared at him and blinked and he said, "You don't believe any of that do you?"

What the fuck should I make of this?

Also, I'm in COLLEGE.

if your parents weren't your parents and they were just someone you med on the street or at work or whatever, would you still like them? assuming you like your parents now

Why do I have no motivation to go to school anymore?

I plan to buy a netbook some time after Christmas. I'd like to have enough storage to save funny pictures from the internets and keep my mp3s there, and I need just enough processing power to play Neopets, Facebook, Livejournal, and Dragon Cave. I'm certainly not going to ask the Best Buy monkeys to recommend a model, and price is an issue. What minimum required specs should I be looking for?

You Have super powers, all the super powers, any super or magical power you've ever heard of. You can do anything Fly, freeze time even raise the dead.

Hell you can raise the dinosaurs! make them pink and give them the disposition of a St. Bernard puppy if you want to and it's easy! It's so easy you could teach the village idiot to start levitating mountains in like 2 minutes.

But once you share the secret you can't take it back and you'll have absolutely no control how their powers are used.

Do you share?

Did you do anything special for your golden birthday?

Were you really disappointed to find out what a golden birthday was only after it had already passed? :(

I went to Washington, DC to the US Air Guitar Championships back in August to cheer on my friend who was competing. Guess who I met that was a surprise celebrity judge at the 9:30 Club?

What did you guys think about tonight's episode? I think it's funny that people always try to help Serena even if she does stupid shit anyway.

What's wrong with this picture?


and why did I buy this CD today?


Also...

Do you want me to draw a picture for you?
It will be in MS paint, and based off two of your listed interests, oh and just for the first 10 people who say YES!

edit: it's gonna be a minute.. my computer crashed and this other computer is not fun to draw things with

A friend has an extra ticket to the Philharmonic on Thursday. What do I wear?

Will you please post a video of someone getting hurt ironically? If you can't find a video stories will do.

Suppose that someone gives you a project to do at work. You have to scour the internet for ads for certain companies (so, obviously SFW sites). Google is great for print ads, but you're supposed to get ads from websites, too. These certain companies are supposedly the top brands that market to college students.

Where the hell would you go to look for these ads?

I've been up and down advertising blogs and trade blogs and Facebook and [ew] MySpace and apparently no college kids need to be marketed to on CNN, MSNBC or NPR. I'm seriously drawing a blank. What websites do you college kids read that have ads on them?

Or, if you prefer, what side dish do you most look forward to at holiday get-togethers? Not green bean casserole, though, please. Everyone SAYS green bean casserole, but no one ever actually eats it.

If I delete someone from my contacts in Gmail chat, will they still see me when I'm online?

I deleted someone and then I put them back on my contacts because I changed my mind, but now their name doesn't have any little circle thing next to it, like everyone else does whether they are on or offline (online its green or orange or red... offline, it's grey).

It's the right email, cause I searched my inbox to make sure and it pulled up all our emails back and forth.

I don't think he can see me online anymore, amirite? :(

This film is strangely absent from the Top 30

Only Two of the Top 30 Grossing Films of This Decade Are Original

Wikipedia has a list of the highest grossing films of this decade so far, and kottke noticed that of the top 20 films at the box office, only one movie was not based on a past film or tv show (remake/sequel), or an adaptation of an established property (be it a comic, book, play, toy…etc).

Which is the only original feature film to make it into the the top 20 grossing films of this decade (so far)?



Finding Nemo, which lands at #15 with $864.6 million.

If you take a look at the top 30 films from this decade, there is only one other original film property among the bunch, that being…


DreamWorks Animation’s Kung Fu Panda, #30 spot with $631.7 million.

In fact, out of the top 50 grossing films of this decade, there are only 9 movies based on original properties. And five of those nine films were created by Pixar Animation Studios. How sad…

You can check out the full list below.

Muse performed at Royal Albert Hall for the Children in Need charity concert Thursday night, before running across London to make it to their sold out gig at the O2 Arena. Matt is on such a high, he's shooting lasers through his fingers, POW:



( Shit loads of pics and videos of the 3 gigs, you know the deal darlings... )

Bonus Twitpics!

( Some of Matt's AMAZING photography under here.... )

If you don't like Muse, didn't care for The Resistance, etc. That's fine, they're one of the best live bands in the world right now, you wanna argue about that? Just ENJOY the pics and have a fucking laugh, it's why I do them, and let Dom thank you for me!

Question du jour. Senior citizens are occasionally portrayed in media as prone to petty theft (think shoplifting elderly tourists in My Life in Ruins and Uncle Leo and Jerry's battery-stealing parents in Seinfeld). Do you think this is at all a true-to-life portrayal, or a perfectly unfounded stereotype? Have you ever encountered shoplifting elderly folks?

For my part, I've gone a fair bit among older people, and have only encountered one who was prone to stealing. An older woman used to come cook for us when my mom was still a single mom with a full-time job, and she would always be stealing foodstuffs. And I thought... wow, if you're going to steal, at least have the decency to steal from the rich, not a mother of two struggling to make ends meet.

Secondly -- if you received a greatest hits collection by a fairly obscure (because foreign, but quite popular in his native France in the 60's) artist and it was a home-burned CD instead of one with proper packaging and bought in a store, would you think the gift-giver was cheap?
