1. Open a music player.
2. Go to 'all music'/'library'.
3. Hit shuffle/repeat/randomize.
4. Find photos of the first 10 artists/bands that come up (no repeats and no cheating).
5. Have people guess who the artists/bands are.

Some of these should be pretty easy, some of them I didn't even know... I know most of them though.

The even more baffling part:

IT'S PART OF A SERIES.

P.S. DID STALIN STEAL HOUSE'S VICODIN?

P.P.S. This just in:

Three short clowns dancing in a circle holding hands. they have that pointy curly hair with the bald spot in the middle, like Krusty or the pointy haired boss in Dilbert.

DEAR LIME,

I am helpful. :D

SO. I made up a game while I was in the kitchen stirring pasta. I don't even know why, a couple of them just sprang into my head. It's sort of like Shiritori (I think there's an English version but I can't place the name... I'm more used to Shiritori because we played it in my old Japanese class.
HOWEVER.
This version consists of blending country names... with people. (I didn't use Chad or Jordan because, lame. I also resisted the temptation of El Salvador Dali.)

Here's some of mine:

Argentina Turner
Bolivia Newton-John
Rwanda Sykes
Morocco's Modern Life
Kazakhstanley Kubrick
Liberihanna
Mali Ringwald
Andora the Explorer
Mexiconan O'Brien
Nigeraldo Riviera
Nepal McCartney
Guamé Kilpatrick (Might only make sense to us since we're from Michigan haha)
PeruPaul
Ukrainn Wilson
Zimbabwayne Gretzky
Taiwan Peron (Taijuan?)
Qatarzan
Singapore Richard's Almanac
Syrias Black
Azerbaijanet Jackson


And I was IMing these with zestylime, here's some of my favorites she came up with:
Congoleeza Rice
T-Spain
Cameroon Diaz
Columbea Arthur
Hungary Oldman
Iraquel Welch
Greece Witherspoon
AND MY PERSONAL FAVORITE: Ghana Montana


Got any more?

So today I woke up to a knock on the door, and thinking, "Oh, that must be the package I'm expecting!" I hurried to the door, pulling pants on as I ran. While my pants were still half-up, the door OPENED. And some dude from the apartment building waltzed in. With three guys behind him. I guess they called Toby and he said it was okay if they showed some people the apartment (we're moving out next month). I WISH THEY HAD CALLED ME SEEING AS I AM THE ONLY ONE PRESENTLY IN THE APARTMENT. THANKS.

And I missed the delivery. They said they were going to come from 2-5, they came at least before noon. Booo. Now I have to drive downtown to get it.

I WANT MY UKULELE D:



In other news, I started drawing again and HOLY CRAP it's hard now! I am so out of practice. I'm like, NOSES, WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU TO DESERVE THIS.

I've managed to get straight-on and profile faces working okay again - next stop, dynamic poses and angles. (Something tells me this next step will take longer than step one). Seriously omg I am never going more than a week without drawing again. It sucks trying to draw something and it comes out a million times worse than the picture in your head.

Also: People who make drawing tutorials who can't draw should be smacked. Are they for real?

I need to go get groceries but that's so... not in my house.

Ahahahaa the subtitles kill me.

"WHAT A STRANGE TRICK."




My sleep schedule is so fucked hahaha. I went to Harry Potter midnight showing and the theatre decided to BREAK, so it wound up being delayed til slightly after one am. They offered comp tickets after the show but when I got out it was almost 4am already and I had to get up for work at 6am. So fuck that, there was already a theatreful of people in line from the OTHER theatre that broke. So then I slept two hours, got up and worked, and wound up getting really sleep-deprived hyper, so I couldn't get myself to go back to sleep after work. Wound up calling around til I found the only nearby comic book store open at 10 am, drove out there and got the new X-Factor (which, sadly, didn't have any more Rictor and Shatterstar except what was already in the posted previews. BOO.) I eventually went to sleep at 1 or 2 pm, then slept til 8:30ish. Then I wound up going to hang out with a friend at 3am because we'd both slept all day and were still awake. I managed to successfully get back home at 5:30ish without my mom waking up and freaking out at me hahaha. Then I slept til noon... so I'm sort of back on track. I really should try and get on a sleep schedule that doesn't alternate days between waking up at 6am then noon the next day, though.

Friday I have a fasting appointment at the doctor to check for hypoglycemia. It's gonna be a ball of fun doing morning work without being able to eat or drink anything... I have work from 7 to 10 and the appointment at 11. I hope my mom is driving me because I'm not going to trust myself to drive. Half the time before I eat in the morning I can't even stand up without getting a rush of dizziness and blacked out vision. Which I think is on the list of "How not to drive."

Things of the recent:

1) I continue to need a haircut badly. SPLIT ENDS ARE CONSUMING MY HEAD.

2) Ryan Reynolds was cast as Hal Jordan in Green Lantern. Reasons I disapprove:
-He'd make a better Kyle
-HE'S ALREADY DEADPOOL
-THIS BETTER NOT INTERFERE WITH HIM MAKING A DEADPOOL MOVIE
-If he's gonna play for both teams, HE SHOULD PLAY FLASH. Not GL.

3) I have been drinking waaay too much caffeine lately. Looking forward to the caf headaches when I run out of money for coffee and soda. But it helps me be awake at the right times of day.

4) Time for more geeking out over Rictor and Shatterstar! Page from the upcoming issue: http://comicbookresources.com/prev_img.php?pid=3025&pg=2 I like how it's just like, "Yep, still makin' out. And now back to Cortex with your regularly scheduled plot progression."

Also, apparently excitement kills brain cells. When I found out the new X-Factor issue was due out Wednesday, my first thought was OH SHIT I GOTTA GET BACK TO LANSING SO I CAN GO GET IT FROM 21ST CENTURY COMICS. After a slight delay, I realized, it is possible and in fact likely that there are comic book stores in the metro Detroit area. Which requires a teeny bit less gas. (There aren't actually any in my city as far as I can tell, though. Looks like I'll be going a couple towns over.)



5) I went to a show of zydeco music. One of the dudes was playing the washboard, and had a wearable washboard. I thought it made him look like he was a bad 50's sci-fi movie robot. So I just pretended he was being the resident dancing robot instead of actually playing in instrument. He looked like Steve Buscemi. And hey, if I were designing a robot, I would totally make it look like Steve Buscemi wearing a washboard. Just sayin'.

(random picture of dude with washboard, not the same guy)

IS ANYONE AS PLEASED ABOUT THIS AS I AM?

...probably not.

Seriously though this has been waiting to happen for yeeeeears. I love Peter David for having the balls to actually show it. Instead of just unsubtle text boxes. Or some manly, heterosexual handholding in the moonlight.

I really need to get mentally on the schedule of my job. I keep sleeping about four hours, caffeinating myself to get through work, then being tired but too wired to sleep until mid afternoon.

GUITAR MAKES MY FINGERS HURT. And yes I have calluses, just after I play for too long it starts feeling sort of bruise-y.



The dude who made this is my HERO.

This thread is so fabulous. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3079902&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=6

So I really should be sleeping cos I have to get up at 6 for my job, but I CAN'T SLEEP UGH. I slept too late today.

I just started my job. It's pretty cool but a little stressful for me, because it's talking on the phone to strangers, heh. Not my strongest suit. Basically, I'm tutoring conversational English to Koreans over internet phone. The actual lessons are pretty easy, but I freak a little over finding shit to say the rest of the time. I have a few backup things in case I can't think of anything actually pertinent to what we're talking about, but I know I'm gonna forget who I already asked what to.

Maybe I should start making a log of who I've talked to about what. Like, "ASKED YEONG ABOUT FAVORITE ACTORS. THINK OF SOMETHING ELSE."

I think once I'm a couple weeks in I'll quit stressing, but tomorrow is my second day so I'm still like ahhhhhh! But I'm less worried than before my first day so that's good. :)

It is pretty fun though. Except for the one student who CAN'T FRIGGING SPEAK ENGLISH I had a good time talking to them. One of them was really sweet and asked me how to spell my name and wrote me a little email like "Hello!! The weather in Korea is very nice today! How is the weather in Michigan? I hope you are having a good day!"

I HAVE EIGHT CLASSES TOMORROW OMG. They're 20 minutes a piece. I only had 4 my first day and I was feeling a little overwhelmed.

I am such a dork, I just made a trip to Meijer entirely to buy 2 boxes of cereal. After I already went grocery shopping earlier today. WHY?

I also got a little light up badge like this one: http://community.livejournal.com/ontd_startrek/200181.html


Now I have to decide between a red, blue or gold shirt. Hmmm.

( YOU CAN SHAVE THE BABY )

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I think I will choose option c) Both.









WHY ANKLE HAIR

"Any questions about A Modest Proposal?"
"Yeah, uh, were they... eating babies?"



HOORAY DUMB PEOPLE.

HAHAHAHA okay so I know it's my journal "name" but it's still really funny getting an email from LJ that starts out,


COMRADE FUZZ,

Your LiveJournal account... [blah blah blah rest doesn't matter]


I almost wish that wasn't my journal name and that was just how the LJ team now addresses people.





In other news, Russian test tomorrow! Whoo, time to learn the whole last chapter.

Random rambling - running away is like the optimist's suicide. I was just talking with my roommate and a friend of ours, and we were talking about how we sometimes get this feeling that we just want to escape, go somewhere else, get away from life. When things get too crappy or stressful to bear, we just want to be somewhere else. When Toby was in high school, one time he just got in the car and drove 'til he ran out of gas - in Tennessee.

And it struck me that it's basically like the same way suicidal people feel, except they believe there's nothing better, no way to improve things. I've never understood suicide or suicidal feelings because I've never felt like there's nothing else, I don't think I ever could. That doesn't mean I don't ever feel like shit about things that are happening to me, but I always think that the future will be better or I'll find somewhere better to go. I'm optimistic about life in general, even when I'm depressed. But when things are really bad, I just want to RUN. I want to go somewhere else. Don't care where. I used to daydream about what would be the best ways to live and survive if I had to be homeless (never actually tried that since the benefits of being healthy and safe outweigh the joy of being miserable).

So I think it's the optimistic equivalent of suicide. Same problems, same feelings (can't handle current life, want to escape, don't want to be here) except with the feeling that something better is out there, you just have to find it. I'm glad I'm an optimist.




(p.s. sorry I have fallen off the LJ-wagon yet again. :( Life keeps happening. Things are going all right, although I'm kicking myself for skipping Russian too much and a bit worried about money, but when am I not worried about money and sleeping through classes? Hope you guys are all good. <3 )

I am thinking about accents today so JOIN ME in thinking about them!

Poll #1233822 ACCENTS ARE AWESOME (ACCIDENTALLY ALLITERATIVE)
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 24

What accents/dialects of English do you like? (ugh I couldn't decide which more specific ones to put down and then I ran out of spaces)

Okay less insane and more generally, what's your favorite?

What's your opinion of accents other than your own?

Jesus Crystal how obsessed with languages can you BE

On a scale of one to ten, how much do you like scales of 1 to 10?

I should write some kind of thesis on the inevitable deevolution of polls from serious to ridiculous.

Yeah I have a short attention span.


p.s.

Hooooooooooooooooooooly shit just saw Dark Knight. FUCK YES.






That is all, I'm so damn tired. CIAO

And Anon confuses the hell out of the non-internetting world yet again...
