Things I Think About When I'm Studying

It's test time, which means more random thoughts than normal.


Movies that will probably never be made
Love and Skeletor
The Bob Ross Story starring Tony Shaloub
Zamfir: The Musical

People that should never have a talk show
Ashton Kutcher
Gallagher
The Kool-Aid Man

People that should have a talk show
Lao Tzu
The guy from the Micro Machines commericals
Peter Frampton (provided that all interviews be carried out using the talk box)

Crazy or horribly sane? You be the judge.

I'm Kilroy!

I don't know how many of you out there watch My Name Is Earl, but I caught the tail end of last week's episode while watching last week's episode of The Office at lunch today. It's so much better in hi-def, but I think you'll get the idea. Hilarious!

The Many Moods of Dave

Since I'm a relatively new person to most of my readers, I thought a primer into the many moods of Dave might you all get to know me just a little bit better.

Feelin' Tough/Sleepy











Awesome skills + tough look = 1 Bad Dude


Feeling Non-Conversational










Sloth love Chunk!


Feeling Old










Prematurely old, in fact...


Angry, like when your elevator stops at EVERY floor and you are in a hurry...










Beware my wrath!

Early In The Morning

Here's an idea of what I wake up to every morning:




















Not too shabby, eh?

Of All The Things You Could Say...

Saw this on the way home from Church today:
















Now that's one drunk who is free of self-deception!

Song of the Moment

Artist: Blossom Dearie
Album:Verve Jazz Masters 51
Track: Rhode Island is Famous for You

Blossom Dearie (yes, that is her real name) has been a favorite of mine for a long time. Some say she isn't a real jazz singer, that she's more of a supper club singer. Whatever. She's got a great voice (many describe it as girlish - that's meant in a good way), and this track has a lot of humor to it. I can't help but smile when I listen to Blossom, so if you are looking for some feel good music, give her a shot.

Sexism... Tasty!

Boy, those Brits really know how to make a candy bar, don't they? Introducing Yorkie, the only candy bar they can't sell in the US because of Title IX! Click on the picture for more political incorrectness!

Song of the Moment

Being a conscientious blogger (read: one who knows his blog needs a lot of improvement), I am always looking for ways to make this a better read. For this reason, I have decided to add a little segment to this blog called "Song of the Moment" where I basically tell you what I like right now and why I like it. Why me? Why now? Well, I just figured that since my musical tastes are a bit different from most people that I know, this might be a good way for me to expose you all to some new music. Maybe you will like the song, maybe you won't - I won't bat 1.000, doesn't matter. I would love to hear from you all about whether or not this little segment works, and what you think about these tunes if you end up checking them out.

So, to start things off I've got a little bit of punk for you.

Track: Ring of Fire
Artist: Social Distortion
Album: Social Distortion

OK, so I don't really listen to these guys other than this track. It pretty much proves my point that there are some songs (this one by Johnny Cash) can be turned into kick butt punk tunes. I highly reccomend busting out some wicked awesome air guitar moves when you listen to it. I also think that Follow the Prophet would make an excellent punk tune, so you might not want to completely trust my judgement...

It's True!

See? I did have hair once!

Elf Sociology

So, I am taking this class called Statistical Mechanics. What is that, you ask? Doesn't the title give it away? Well, for those of you who aren't on the boat yet, let me add that it really should be called Statistical Thermodynamics. Got it now?

Well anyway, I got to class this morning and we began talking about the Sociology of Elves. Hmm... Can you see why I am confused?

Halfway Halloween

Halloween is coming soon. I'm not a big fan, nor am I a big fan of scary movies - they just don't do anything for me. They either don't scare me at all because they seem to ridiculous, or they don't leave me feeling all that good. Well, in an attempt to be less of a wet blanket this Halloween season, I've compiled a list of movies that I do like that might work as alternatives to the standard Halloween fare. So, without further ado I present:

(Semi) Scary Movies That I Happen To Like

1. Monsters, Inc. - OK, not a scary movie, but it works.
2. Clue - Creepy mansion + mass murders + multiple endings = good clean fun.
3. The Goonies - C'mon, didn't sloth give you nightmares as a kid?
4. Wait Until Dark - Good creepy thriller. Watch with the lights out.
5. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom - Darkest one of the three, but Indy still wins
6. Rear Window - Really a thriller rather than a scary movie, but it will give you chills
7. Young Frankenstein - Great comedy version of the Frankenstein story. Mel Brooks at his finest.
8. Red Eye - Cillian Murphy will never play a romantic lead.
9. Ghostbusters - The ultimate feel good creepy movie. Total classic.

Well, I hope that give all of you non-scary movie people some Halloween alternatives. Enjoy - you wussies.
