Widescreen Youtube!

OMG, so YouTube videos are now Widescreen!!! Yes. So exciting.
Watch this funny kid performing at the Youtube Live concert


In case you're wondering where my new video is...it's coming!!!
I just managed to get it onto my laptop so I can work on it double time while at work (When all my work is finished.)

Next Monday I might be able to get a yellow belt in my JuJitsu class. Sweet! Just gotta do the test.

Umm...Otherwise nothing really new has been happening. So for now I'll leave it at that. :)

Mom and her puppies

My mother is completely obsessed with these webcam dogs.
See them here.

So I created an accurate depiction of what she does while watching them.

I like Kieth Olbermann.

Seriously, why outlaw Gay Marriage? Why not outlaw divorce as well?

Garfield Minus Garfield

What a crazy week! I've been working night shift every night since Monday. (And it should've only been Monday & Tuesday. The other night shift lady had to be with her daughter (who also works the night shift. But she's really sick so I've been covering her shifts). She just had surgery. Turns out her appendix burst. She's only 18ish. =\
So, I've been picking up piles of hours. I think I'm gonna have about 8 hours of OT this week. Sweet.
I got my raise, too. I'm up to $8/hour. Awesome sauce.

I put in some new dome lights in my car. They're blue and they're really cool. Found em on Ebay for $10.



Yesterday I decided to go to Borders. I left with three new books:

The Universe in a Single Atom
The Dalai Lama

As the Dalai Lama observes in this wise and humble book, dialogue between scientists and those interested in spirituality is important because science is not neutral; it can be used for good or ill, and we must approach scientific inquiry with compassion and empathy. Similarly, a spirituality that ignores science can quickly become a rigid fundamentalism. Sometimes the Dalai Lama discovers similarities between the two fields. For example, Einstein's idea that time is relative dovetails neatly with Buddhist philosophical understandings of time. Still, His Holiness does not accept all scientific thinking as holy writ: though he is intrigued by scientific stories of origins, like the Big Bang theory, Buddhism holds that the universe is "infinite and beginningless." The penultimate chapter brings ethical considerations to bear on technological advancements in genetics. The Dalai Lama gently suggests that although parents who select certain genetic traits for their children may intend to give their children a leg up, they may in fact simply be capitulating to a social pressure that favors, say, boys over girls or tall people over short. He also cautions that we do not know the long-term consequences of genetically modifying our crops. In fact, it is disappointing that the Dalai Lama devotes only 18 pages to these urgent and complex topics.




The World Without Us
Alan Weisman

If a virulent virus—or even the Rapture—depopulated Earth overnight, how long before all trace of humankind vanished? That's the provocative, and occasionally puckish, question posed by Weisman (An Echo in My Blood) in this imaginative hybrid of solid science reporting and morbid speculation. Days after our disappearance, pumps keeping Manhattan's subways dry would fail, tunnels would flood, soil under streets would sluice away and the foundations of towering skyscrapers built to last for centuries would start to crumble. At the other end of the chronological spectrum, anything made of bronze might survive in recognizable form for millions of years—along with one billion pounds of degraded but almost indestructible plastics manufactured since the mid-20th century. Meanwhile, land freed from mankind's environmentally poisonous footprint would quickly reconstitute itself, as in Chernobyl, where animal life has returned after 1986's deadly radiation leak, and in the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea, a refuge since 1953 for the almost-extinct goral mountain goat and Amur leopard. From a patch of primeval forest in Poland to monumental underground villages in Turkey, Weisman's enthralling tour of the world of tomorrow explores what little will remain of ancient times while anticipating, often poetically, what a planet without us would be like.



The Ninja Handbook

DEADLY NINJA WISDOM FOR THE NON-NINJA

Carefully consider the joy of your soft-headed ignorance before you begin to run, flip, and jump along the Ninja Path.

After much debate and in a spirit of morbid amusement, the International Order of Ninjas has chosen to produce The Ninja Handbook, the first-ever secret ninja training guide specifically designed for the non-ninja.
Most non-ninjas who handle these delicate, deadly pages will die–probably in an elaborately horrific and painful manner. But whether your journey lasts five seconds or five days or (rather inconceivably) five years, all those who bravely take up this text and follow the tenets and trials laid out within will die knowing they were as ninja as they possibly could’ve been.

For the true of heart or the extremely lucky, this powerful and honorable manuscript contains such phenomenal ninja wisdom as:

•How to create and name your very own lethal ninja clan
•The proper weapon to use when fighting a vampire pumpkin
•Why clowns and robots are so dangerous on the Internet
•Easy-to-follow charts showing when to slice and when to stab
•How to execute such ultradeadly kicks as the Driving Miss Daisy
•Why pretty much every ninja movie ever made sucks
•How to make a shoggoth explode using well-placed foliage
•What the heck a shoggoth is and why you’ll need to make it explode
•Death Aide certification
•And much more ninjafied enlightenment on every shuriken-sharp page!

Remember: People do not take the Path, the Path takes people.



So, overall, I think I did pretty good. :P

The other night while at work I watched The Last Samurai. That's a pretty sweet movie. And before you go on with "Shouldn't you have been working?" I finished all my work and had time to kill. So neah!

Okay, I'm going to bed. I'm beat!


I think you'll all get a kick out of these.
These guys erase Garfield from the Garfield comics to reveal how sad Jon Arbuckle's life really is.

GO OUT AND VOTE!

RIGHT NAO!


:)

They'll never know it was me

Creepy. LOL.

Anyway, I'm sure you're all wondering, "Hey, where is this hilarious and completely genius video I was promised several weeks ago?"

Well, here's where I'm at with that.
I haven't been working on it every day like I should be. I'm lazy. Shush.
But also, I've been having to go through it every single frame to edit it, so it's getting pretty tough to do. To put it into perspective on how time consuming it is, there is about 30 frames per second, and the part I'm editing is about 3-and-a-half minutes. So, yeah. A LOT of frames. But I'm getting there. I have about a minute and a half to go. I've been trying to do it as fast as I can, so I'm sure you'll notice it when I have it out.

In other news, I've started JuJitsu again. I missed it, so now I'm back and having fun. It's a great work out.

I'm also working a lot a lot. We just put in new carpet in the Hotel Lobby. It looks nice. The owner owns three other properties, but WE'RE the money maker. We bring in the most revenue.
Everyone should come and stay sometime! I'll get you the employee discount. 50% off! We even have a super sweet pool with a water slide.

Otherwise, not much else is happening.
So, with that, I'll say bye!


Bye!
