WoW!!!


So after ten days away from fast internet I'm ready to admit that I miss playing World of Warcraft. Its fun, anti-social, and it doesn't require me to shower or anything.
Rest assured. I will play all day tomorrow.

Who'd win in a fight?

It's no secret that I read a lot of US weekly and pay plenty of attention to celebrity happenings. Really there's no question that Brad Pitt is one of the celebrity world's leading men. Entering into that world now that he lives in LA is David Beckham. So naturally the question arises, who'd win in a fight?



Brad Pitt has got the sreet cred - anyone remember fight club? He can obviously take care of himself. Also the Ocean's 11 movies show us that he's got brains as well. Mr. and Mrs. Smith? Brad knows how to use a gun. And a minivan.



Then we've got Mr. Beckham. He's no cushy londoner. Raised in a blue collar family, he worked his way through the international soccer world. He works out every day and has to seriously exert himself to earn his multi-million dollar paychecks.

So who'd win in a fight? Both these guys are tough, cool, and strong. So I look at the wives. What is Victoria's effect on David vs. Angelina effect on Brad? Posh keeps to herself, is quietly supportive, and just pouts a lot. Angelina on the other hand trucks brad all over the world and makes Brad play Robin to her Batman.

So I'd give to Beckham, he'd definitely take Brad in a fight. Maybe if Angelina took Brad's balls out of the steel box she keeps them in and gave them back to Brad, Brad could stand a chance against Beckham.

what am I doing right now

Ways to procrastinate your special education final which is due in two hours and nineteen minutes:

watch all the apple "I'm a mac..." commercials

update your blog

stare off mindlessly into space

check out all the new apple products and spec each one out optimally for your use just to see how much you can't afford one

tell yourself that you are going to take a short nap only to accidentally take a long nap

write your name, the name of the class and the date at the top of a piece of paper telling yourself thats its ok you are procrastinating since you have already started

this list could go on and on but I guess I really need to do this final now.

Horseshoe crabs - blue crabs - garden spider

what do these have in common? They are all arthopods and are in the Super Phyllm, ecdysozoa. We're dissecting them tomorrow. It is going to be intense.

Additionally, I spent the weekend working and playing video games. Time management? A skill I will never learn.

In the world of mac, fake steve jobs was outed by a guy from the nytimes. He's the senior editor of forbes magazine!! I heard an interview with him and he does not speak in any way like his alter-ego. But either way, forbes is going to sponsor the site and not edit what he writes. I think it will be pretty funny to have a corporate magazine sponsor a blog which basically just trashes on everyone who is anti-apple or a lunatic (larry elison), especially when so much of the forbes readership probably falls into that category.

Also, I've been trying to like Cramer from mad money. I just can't do it. That guy is worse than doctor phil.

On my own

Since my classes are going to run for another week and half, and lila was done with hers, she decided to go to the adirondacks to work at her camp. So I'm going to be on my own for about two weeks.

I know what you are thinking. I will sit around in my underware, play video games, watch tv, sleep, eat and generally make a mess everywhere.

But no!! In fact I will go to work everyday (not weekends), do homework, take finals and just generally be responsible.

Sounds pretty boring.

So to make life exciting I'm accepting recommendations for stupid stunts:
Rules - the stunt can not have a high probability of landing me in the hospital. (low probability is fine. Secondly the stunt can't have a high probability of getting me arrested.

Other than that, the skies the limit. Once my readership at large has submitted a good list, I'll post it and you can vote. I'll perform the task suggested by the winner. They also get a quarter.

good luck.
