As told by my main man Tom Cruise.

There was going to be a serious post here. But instead my brain was dumbfounded by this. I’m sorry. I really am. I’m not even sure for who or to who.

So because of this, when I watch Top Gun for the 20th time, I pretend that he was really abducted by aliens or Lord Xenu or some other bullshit story and it’s a totally different person back then.

But who am I kidding, I’m only posting this because someday I want to be blessed with something like this.

Some Apple news reporting today:

Macworld’s Speedmark tests of Apple’s latest high-end desktop system—the eight-core 2.8GHz Mac Pro released earlier this week—show that it’s notably faster than the four-core 2.6GHz Mac Pro it replaces in Apple’s product line.

Thankfully some other people have provided me with an appropriate collection of responses:

1. In other news 2 pounds of feathers weighs more than a pound of lead.

2. Hmmm, new 8 core 2.8 ghz Mac Pro is faster than the old 2.6 ghz 4 core? Alert the press! This is huge!

3. OH MY SCIENCE

But wait, this astounding piece of news continues…

Even more impressively, the new Mac Pro comes close to matching the speed of the previous-generation eight-core 3GHz Mac Pro model, suggesting that internal changes to the Mac Pro line are bolstering performance.

…so it’s pretty fast. But the real innovation here is that it’s almost as fast as a way older model. Well fuck me, I’ll take 2.

The door tags and the poster designs I decided to go with for this terms theme.
For those of you not too familiar with it, the robot comes from the game Portal and so do most of the quotes. I ended up making some up because I was short and because I was talking to Alice while making them. So far 3 people asked me where the theme is from and 2 said they got it — more on this if it develops.

To be honest, I may have not entirely cleared the use of the name XD

It’s similar to the last terms design in the format, but stronger, harder, better!

Problem: I am not registered for a class because it was full by the time of my course appointment.

Typical Solution: Professor signs override form. Profit!

Reality:

Oooh, it’s 9am, I gotta get ready for this class.
Nooooo, I am lost in HH.
Yesssss, I found the room. 3rd person there.
Booooring.
Oh look, my professor. Finally!
Excuse me sir, *sob story here*, so here’s the override…
Shooo!
Uhm… but…
Shooooo!
So how do I actually get into this class if?
Oh, I don’t care.
Sir : (

GREAT SUCCESS

In the end, he check marked override limit, override requisites, override reserve, override time slot, override faculty consent and just about all the override boxes. This pretty much means I can almost not even attend said class.

Set your blenders to blend as this post contains a bit of everything!

As some of you may or may not have known I’ve been rewarded with chickenpox. I’m happy to report that at this moment my immune system is happily beating the #*@$ out of it and that makes me feel a whole lot happier than I did about a week ago. Take that virus strain, SHORYUKEN! Thanks to everyone for offering advice and whatnot. A special note to Sharon, oranges and lemons are good, very good for you actually. Moving on.

I successfully waited in line for boxing day for absolutely nothing! Ok, I was there out of interest and for company sakes to Andrew. It was one of those things that I was curious about and now it’s checked off the list. Maybe next time I’ll actually make a purchase. I do have pictures, but since my cell phone USB cord is back home, they just aren’t happening right now. Just imagine lots of people in line and it being dark and cold and you got it covered. As a closing story, when I worked at FutureShop, the first guy in the line up on boxing day bought nothing, loser. The first guy in this line up apparently bought a picture frame, loser. That is all.

I still don’t have it. I think to save you all another tear filled drama I’ll just let Sanya summarise the problem, and I left a comment in there somewhere.

I’d like to take this moment to wish everyone a Happy New Year! It’s more so the holiday that I look forward to because I get to see a bunch of friends and genuinely have a good time. I like to pretend it’s relaxing too, but a survey of previous feelings on January the 1st would suggest otherwise. Activities for this year are to be announced, but I’m somehow positive we’re going to outdo the previous year. Even though a mer e mortal man that task should be impossible. But the main point here is still HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Ok, New Years resolutions time. Did I mention I’ve never actually made any before? Because I thought they were silly? Well, here we go anyway:

1. By this time next year I will own it (Digital Rebel XT). Or its upgrade (Digital Rebel XTi). Or something that is better and cheaper(DSLR ???). Seriously, I’m not waiting 4 years.

2. I will get an 80+ in at least 3 classes in each of my two semesters. Shouldn’t be that hard if I just implement a monkey to taser me into studying. Go monkey go!

3. So I don’t think it’s a far stretch that I can weigh under 200lbs again or in a better measurement system 90kg. That would probably be nice. I refuse to just run for fun though. It’s not fun!

4. Be a man. Do the right thing! Russel Peters has used it in a skit. And Andrew keeps telling me to do so. Once I figure out what, I’m sure it’ll be a good plan.

There, only 4. That’s all I’m willing to resolve to do. I’m sure I’ll do more, but failing these 4 will be considered a complete failure.

Akismet has now stopped 1,044 spam comments here. Imagine how lively my blog would seem with that many more comments. Than I would also be some kind of zen master of all things viagra, porn, celebrity, cheap, software, friends, adult friends, interesting blogs, and whatever else they’re offering. You know, including this sentence is probably going to gain me at least another 50 of those comments.

In closing. All the best to everyone, except the tall kid in the front. Stop blocking everyone behind you! Have a fun next few days and I’ll see you all back in 2008. The year we’ll all be one year older and still complaining about it. Jaa ne.

…so, suggestions?

Given the exam period and a positive response to the theme. This just belonged.

Original kudos to SourSprite.

Mister Splashy Pants is the winner by a nautical mile!

It seems like the world couldn’t get enough of Mister Splashy Pants with many websites encouraging their readers to vote for ‘Splashy’. And as we all know, once the wonderful world of the internet got hold of Mister Splashy Pants, it was all over bar the final splash.

Mister Splashy Pants got a huge 119,367 votes (over 78 percent of the vote) with his nearest rival being Humphrey at 4,329 (less than 3 percent). The rest of the top ten were Aiko, Libertad, Mira, Kaimana, Aurora, Shanti, Amal and Manami.

Excellent.
