The Bucket List Begins!!

As I mentioned, I have begun to make a bucket list with reasonable goals(so "become supreme ruler of the world" would not be reasonable.)

Even though I had attempted to start a list like this in the past, it was really difficult to keep it all organized in my head.  So after I watched Babbette's Feast in my film class, I started to get some ideas.

IDEA #1: Eat a multi-course meal, complete with a different wine/champagne with each course.
This would preferably happen in a European city but if that's not reasonable at the time then I will live.

Here's a clip from the film, unfortunately the only clip with english subtitles I could find was a review of the film, but I think it gets the point across. One day I hope to describe my meal like this...

Funny Things

In an ironic way, I take humor very seriously. Which is why i always enjoy reblogging things that I find funny.  I recently made a tumblr account so I could do just this.  But I have returned to blogspot and found a picture on a classmates blog that is certainly worth sharing.

Enjoy and laugh out loud (but don't LOL, because actually laughing out loud is better.)

No Words

So it turns out there is a show about women competing against each other to win plastic surgery before their wedding, it's called Bridalplasty.


I really don't know what to say to this...

So I'm making a bucket list....

Be ready for my wacko ideas.

To Be Continued.

C'mon give me a KISS

So I got some hershey kisses the other day and started wondering why they were called hershey kisses...
do you have to give someone a kiss to get them?
no
does someone give you a kiss if you get one?
negative
they aren't even shaped like lips

and even though I thought this was a question that a good majority of people already know the answer to... I decided to look it up anyways

you want to know what the answer is?
NO ONE KNOWS


yeah...

but according to the info I found, it's most likely something to do with the way the chocolate is dispensed during the manufacturing process, like it's "kissing" the belt


Random thought of the day? you betcha

Care to learn something new?

This is just a cool picture I came upon today

You know the feeling...

Let's pretend like all of us actually enjoy doing math for a second.

Today's lesson:

6 hours of sleep + 1 7AM practice + 1 idea that I have enough time for a "short nap" = 0 Me in class

Believe me, it's not that I don't enjoy the class, it was the warm bed...the feeling of sleep behind my eyelids...and the fact that I somehow managed to make it impressively dark in my room. 

It was a math equation for disaster. (A very comfortable and warm and dream-filled disaster)

Song stuck in my head of the day:

Frank by Matt and Kim

And here's a picture that may interest you in the case that you loathe math as much as I do

"You can't fight in here! this is the war room!"

One of my new favorite quotes from Dr. Strangelove: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. I had my first experience with this movie on Tuesday in my film class and was surprised but pleased to say the least. This movie certainly accomplishes the goal of making you laugh at things you would not necessarily expect to laugh at, which are atomic bombs.
Stanley Kubrick, the director, was quite the character.  Prior to watching the movie, we watched a documentary about the process of making the film and about Kubrick in general.
Not going to lie, Kubrick seemed like a pretty awesome guy. Even described as a "hipster."  Now I know this makes some people cringe(for reasons which are unknown to me) but I was truly interested by this and immediately started looking up the history of the hipster movement, which started around the 1940's, right around when Kubrick was getting into his teen years.
Basically, Kubrick was among the original hipsters.
And you can't out hipster that.
The eccentric way in which he approached film all seemed to come from this world around him.  From the way that boundaries were being pushed by others was brought into the film world with Kubrick's work and it had a great impact on society.

Disappearing Act

Well hello to all of the hypothetical readers that I am writing for.  Considering this blog is only for a comm class, it's fairly difficult to be motivated to actually post daily when I'm not technically required to.
So basically this blog name is completely ironic. Very hipster I know.
Anyhow, while on my run I have discovered that there are a few songs that will be continuously stuck in my head, and the nominees are:
Dog Days Are Over
In My Head (how appropriate)
Various songs from The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Animal by Neon Trees
Maroon 5 songs, only from Songs About Jane

So this is what I do on runs, replay these songs over and over think deeply about life, try to make it up the hill without collapsing. Scowl at people that pass me on bikes. Pray that the rain holds off until I finish.  Good stuff.

Back to the hypothetical reader thing, so I have this new thing called statcounter that tells me how many people visited the blog, returning visitors, all that creepy facebook stalkerish stuff. Case and point, I know almost everything about you and I'm going to see how many actually don't read my blog.
But since we are all caught up in this hypothetical business i'm going to pretend that a lot of people love to read my blog.  If this were so, this statcounter gadget would let me see what blog posts are most popular and possibly help me create more posts like that one in the future. Therefore skyrocketing my popularity and making my blog so successful that I actual make money off of it and live happily ever after.
Hypothetically of course.
