I guess I was hit by some kind of nostalgia today, and I looked up a video a bunch of us made last year at USU. A few of us in Greaves Hall got REALLY bored, and so we did some crazy stunts in the basement of the building, then put the videos in REVERSE. Wow, original, huh? The next generation of insanity, we were.
Anywho, this a video from last year, basement of Greaves Hall. You won't see me until the end of the video. While Austin and I were the main "directors," I was also the cameraman. Listen to how we tried to say our names backward at the end so when they were reversed... it didn't work out too well.
Oh, and just click "pause" on the music player so you can get sound for the video.
Way back when...
A Time and a Place for Everything
I love Christmas. It's easily my favorite time of the year. It's the snow, the music, the overall feeling of it that makes it the best. Christmas is awesome.
AFTER THANKSGIVING.
How could he say such a thing? It only comes once a year, so shouldn't we celebrate it early? Nay, says I. If you celebrate it too early, it can ruin the holiday. Let me explain:
The new Dragonforce album is coming out. Holy cow, Mark's freaking out! New album, baby! And to make it better, they've released a promo song from the CD a month early. We find Mark listening to it nonstop, and after two weeks, the song is getting old. By the time the new album comes out, Mark can't stand to hear the sound of Dragonforce without wanting to punch someone.
I'm not saying that I hate Christmas music by the time December 25th rolls around, but that if you jump the gun on Christmas, it can make the actual season seem less... special.
I'm not telling you how to celebrate the season (that's what Martha Stewart's for). But you might as well give it a try? Since when have I given you a reason to... you know what, I'd best not finish that.
So no
Until after
Please. It's for the kids.
College: don't ask
I don't have much to report, but I still want to post something. So, I thought I'd give you an idea of what I'm up to at college through photos. And by "what I'm up to," I mean all the things that's I'm doing that aren't the most... productive.
Enjoy, and remember, "don't ask."
Me, with a stool on my head. 'Nuff said.
My sneaky eyes.
Us, after the paint dance.
We had to get the paint off...
Austin jumped into the Logan River. I didn't. Who looks like the winner here?
The crazies who DID jump into the river.
Okay, it was REALLY late, and it wasn't the pose I asked them to do. (I'm not in this one. Thank goodness...)
Me in front of Angie's. One day, kitchen sink, one day...
HOCKEY! WHOO! KILL THE REF! SMASH 'IM!
I Hate/Love Technology
Anyone who know me KNOWS that I love technology. Computers, gadgets, useless tech, I want it all. However, at the same time, I absolutely HATE technology. It all kinda depends on what the tech is up to.
If something's working just fine, it's amazing. I like to tweak the stuff and play with it like a kitten with a ball of yarn. But, when it stops doing what it's supposed to do, it makes me nuts. True fact: EVERY piece of technology that I've owned that costs more than $70 has, at some point, either broken (not my fault) or just plain freaked out. Zune, phones, Xbox, palm, lappy... they all turned evil for a time.
I say this not complain, but to... actually, I think I am just complaining. In fact, if you have a tech-related waking nightmare, put it in the comments. It'll make the rest of us feel a bit better knowing that we're not the only ones with digital cross hairs on our foreheads.
The Howl
If you've never heard of the Howl, I either you didn't pay attention in awesome class or you've been dead for 30 years. For those of you who DON'T know, the Howl is the Halloween Party hosted by Utah State University, and it's off the hook. It's famous for being one of the biggest college parties in the nation; people come from out-of-state to come this thing, and rightly so. Thousands of crazy students show up. When you go in, there's a labyrinth that the engineers put together, along with a dance company dressed as puppets that randomly start dancing together. It's something out of a Michael Jackson music video (back when he was cool).
So here's my costume. Leave a guess in the comments area as to what I was:
