    Aside from the standard news this week, I also bought a bunch of new music. Here it is:

    Links Round Up for 7/18/10

    I don’t really do link round ups all that often, but I’ve resolved to do them more often (I’m going to try for once a week, but don’t hold me to it). I post a lot of links throughout the week so I figured I’d post the best ones on Sundays. First(ish) one- here goes!

    Rubik’s Cube

    rubiks cube

    Towards the beginning of the semester (thank God it’s over), my friend Jenn was showing me how to solve the Rubik’s Cube- something I never was and still am not able to do. Last night another friend of mine got me one for Christmas and I have more or less been thinking about it non-stop. I know there are countless resources that will tell you the solution, but I’d like to understand how it works instead of just memorizing an algorithm or two. My brother was showing me today how to solve it, but when I asked why we’d do it that was he’d say, “It’s how the algorithm is.” Jenn did tell me what I was trying to accomplish, but now that we are on Winter Break, it looks like I’m on my own.

    MYO Silly Putty

    After viewing this YouTube video on how to make your own Silly Putty, my friends and I could resist. We went out and got the ingredients and went to town. You can see the pictures below, but the final product (mine anyway) was pretty good. It’s a little stronger than regular silly putty, but it passes my three tests: the newspaper copy, bounciness and that cool pop sound silly putty makes. An added bonus is the outside of it is not a prone to picking up any particle that happens to touch it. It did harden a little over night when I left it out, but that was nothing working with it couldn’t fix. It’s a fun (kind of messy!) project if you are looking for something to do.

    One Image to rule them all

    Or 2. Checking out my stats today I saw a lot of links I didn’t recognize, primarily My Space profiles. One site I found was hot linking an image for the cover of the fight club book. So I changed it to a nice Public Service Announcment. I did the same with the Yankees-Boston image from this post, which was also being hot linked.

    Finding it strange that only those two images were used, I did a google image search on those two, and it turns out they are the number ones. Below are the images I replaced on the multitude of sites used in the hot links. Later!

    Hot Linking = Bad

    Quoteables

    I like writing down some funny quotes from professors, and this first week was full of them…

    “What kind of place is this?? It has exploding beer!”

    (about photos) “It’s called a head shot, I don’t like that name.”

    –Dr. Connolly–

    “Dr. Bishop- he’s our new guy because he’s been here less than 20 years”

    –Dr. Jackowitz–

    “Cars will go by themselves to work, while you stay at home.”

    –Dr. Berger–

    And the best- Dr. Fraustino. I wrote down a bunch quotes from him in one class period. And the more the next class. Here are a few good ones:

    “We test our metal in conflict”

    “Boys need heroes- Bruce Willis in Die Hard, James Bond because he fornicates all the time”

    “5 marriages have come out of the groups in my class. They have all ended in divorce”

    “XXX Movies- no one needs Character Development in those.”

    Waiting…

    waiting

    I’m going to start by saying this: The critics didn’t like it. They thought it was a putrid pile of steaming shit. But guess what. I’m not a critic. I simply have an opinion. My Opinion: I thought it was funny. I laughed. That’s what the entire theater did. It’s getting ridiculed for it’s toilet humor and cliche jokes- but you know what- it’s still funny. And if you work in a restaurant, you will see a lot of it is true too. They say no characters were formed. But I saw characters- they were the stereotypes- but they were pretty accurate. The most value you found in this movie was in the banter. It was friends/co-workers having normal everyday talks, complaining about their shitty job. They all tried to make the shitty job fun, and they accomplished it- it’s what you have to do to stay sane.

    Any college student could probably relate to Dean, who doesn’t know what he wants, except he doesn’t want to work there for the rest of his life. And everyone could probably identify with one of the characters or knows someone like them. And there were definitely parts in the movie where you could say “Yes, I know what they are talking about!” It’s funny because it’s true. The thing you hate most when working in a restaurant is when it’s 5 mins to close, and some asshole comes in to sit down. Wherever you work, you have to deal with that person who is out to make everyone feel like shit because they have issues.

    The best part of the movie, I think, is that nothing was really resolved. It was just a day in the life of. Nothing was happily ever after, and while you look for that in a chick flick, you don’t really care in a comedy. It made the characters more real i think- you feel closer to them because they are easy to relate to.

    So, let people say what they want, but this was a funny movie- and something real. Too many movies now are concerned with how cool they can make a movie look, and while it’s cool to see extraordinary stuff, sometimes things go overboard. This is a down to earth movie that people might not like because of the toilet humor, but it’s hard not to watch it and say “This is so true.” Later!
