2011

So, this was cool.


This should be pretty cool too.



It's always a good year for Wisconsin sports! Happy 2011!

7-1

Remember that time OSU came to town?
Remember that time we went to Iowa City?
Next up: Boiler Up! Boiler Up! Boiler Up! I wish my team's mascot was a something cool like a train. Surely there is room in the Big Ten for two Victorian-era railroad locomotives, yes? Fine, how about something invented in 1848? Get on your feet fans, it's time for some Wisconsin Dental Chair's football! I'm kidding of course, I think it's completely appropriate to name your mascot after something your school excels in, Engineering in Purdue's case. In Wisconsin's case... I'd say we have a pretty good engineering school too, but here we are again with similar motives. I guess we'll be the bigger man and claim something else... beer.

I actually like this video, looks like they have some pretty cool traditions.

There's a Spy 'Round Here...

The summer months have given me more time to enjoy video games, namely Team Fortress 2. It's been a while since I've played regularly, and a lot has changed. I was messing around with the built-in recorder and came up with some footage.



This video took me much longer than I expected, here's why:
1. The old version of windows movie maker (which I was used to) rendered the final project to look like this.
2. The newer windows live movie maker has even fewer video FX features than before, so I couldn't do everything I wanted, like speeding up or slowing down a section (but it did render correctly).
3. Almost every free video editor on the internet sucks.
4. When I did find a free editor that I thought would work, it put an awesome watermark over the final video for one minute.
5. I finally finished using the trial version of Sony Vegas 9. It only costs $600, so if you need a birthday idea...

The Suns Are Actually From Boston

I know this is a little late, but SOMEONE lost their job.

NO BIG WOOP

Another spring break at home. Somethings never change. Like my basketball skills.

But that's all about to change. Let me guide you through why:
1. New basketball shoes (And 1's. Bring on the fouls, baby).
2. I've forced myself to use my left hand -- shooting percentages have gone down dramatically, but I have developed a wicked crossover.
3. I've been practicing my around-the-back layup all afternoon. I'm basically a white John Wall.
4. I've acquired a fantastic basketball mentor, check him out. He makes my apples taste so mealy.

Happy Anniversary!

Today marks the one year anniversary of my beloved secret life. Thanks for all the kind words, presents, and congratulations! Assholes. You want to see me fail, is that it? You know what, it's okay, I can see why you'd be frustrated with me. Let's pretend I didn't take a month to post this update, and I'll forget you are self-absorbed narcissists :)

GET IN MY BELLY!

This is the only "good" thing Rod Stewart has ever done. Everything else I find unbearable to listen to. Also, it reminds me of fat bastard, go figure.

It's The Weekend!

...so let's go drink! Don't worry, i'll bring a bottle. Plenty to go around.



I'm joking. I'll bring two bottles.

Bored?

Check out this sketch comedy group, The Imponderables.
I haven't watched them all yet, but I recommend Waldo Ultimatum, Foot or Die, and The Mechanic.

Adventures in the Frozen Food Aisle, Part 2!

You didn't think there could be much more adventure after last time in the frozen food aisle, did you? You were wrong.

Made with REAL half and half?! I love white cream in my pasta...



The prepared meal (cheddar-wurst sold separately).



Mmm, another delicious budget meal in the crap factory. You know, I'm not sure the meals can get any more exciting, but I guess you'll just have to wait and see!

The funny thing is... it looked tastier halfway through the cooking process than how it turned out. I don't know, maybe that's not very funny. Stay tuned for more to come!

Drink Water... Only If You Want To

Just whipped up a short video chronicling the creation of the new uh... study table... for our house. And when I say whipped up, I mean it's taken me almost a month to get it online because the video wasn't previously working correctly on vimeo, but alas, without further ado, I present to you, for your enjoyment, a SLOS exclusive video.

Believe it or not, this took almost two weeks to complete. Although, in my defense, I'm a procrastinating, unmotivated perfectionist.

Boy, I sure am ready for some studying. Bring on the classes! err whatever...
