Bristol Palin Baby Son Tripp Born →
zerbit:
Finally. I’ve been obsessively checking HuffPo/Google News since December 20th to see if she popped yet.
At least Bristol named her kid something a little more realistic. (Seriously Sarah Palin, Track?! TRIG?! What is wrong with you?!)
SO many politically incorrect jokes I’m tempted to make, but most of them are also just bad…so I’ll let it go.

Soulja Boy XBox 360 game due out in 2009 →
preretirementnerves:
Aaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Why would anyone care about Soulja Boy in 2009? I know that’s soon and all, but I thought that horrid obsession had already come and gone. Is it alive and well still, and I just failed to notice because I haven’t been to any frat parties this semester?
That said, I could see this more as a Wii game, no?
I’m really scared of tomorrow/today/this semester.

My favorite line:
Even though they were all being paid upon completion, those in a what-does-it-all-mean mentality were much more likely to procrastinate—and in fact some never got around to the assignment at all. By contrast, those who were focused on the how, when and where of doing the task e-mailed their responses...
Said the Gramophone - Best of 2008 →
They always have the best end of the year lists. I’ve probably found so many of my favorite songs from the Gramophone.
I am a terrible student.
Apparently my newspaper subscription expired. Aren’t they supposed to give you renewal notices or something? Anyway, I picked up an AJC on campus on Tuesday but am just now getting around to reading it because I’ve about run out of other ways to procrastinate. One of the letters printed Tuesday say this:

Tabernacle show Of Montreal DVD →
So they were filming for a reason! Now I’ll actually be able to see what was going on in the middle of the stage (since it seems fair to assume that my view at the 40 Watt will be even worse).

why wasn’t i born in that time period?
clearly there's something wrong with me
It’s finals week, I’m freaking out, but I can tediously photoshop a santa hat onto an avatar? Why why why am I so retarded?
My photo editing skills aren’t particularly good, but now is a really bad time to try to improve upon them. Must study history. History history history…
Finals have started
Therefore I hate everything.

Right, so…I don’t think I want to live in the world anymore. I don’t really want to be here when there’s a nuclear attack, but I honestly don’t know where I could concievably go to avoid that kind of shit. Europe’s certainly had its fair share of wars, Asia and Africa definitely aren’t safe, South America has its own problems…Australia? I guess...
A short note about mustaches
Guys need to realize that very very few of them look good with moustaches (I can’t decide whether I like it better with or without the “o”).
They range from creepy to douchey to pedophilesque to just sad, but barely ever attractive.
Clark Gable good.
These guys bad.
The end.

On a completely unrelated note, I’m afraid of how boring this weekend is...

Hopefully his twitters will be more interesting than any character he’s played in a movie. Think about it, every character Luke Wilson plays is always very tired.
Well, he’s bound to be more interesting than Shaq anyway. I must confess, though, I care about Luke Wilson solely because he was in Wes Anderson movies.

Kanye West on auto-tune
“If I sing off-key it really points that out. It points out the bad notes. So I actually have to sing more perfect. But I use it because I like the electronic feel. I like the sound. I want to juxtapose Taiko drums and monk choirs with Auto-Tune. I deliver music like it’s art. I feel like I’m a Pop Artist. Sidebar: I have to use the bathroom really,...

1. Let us assume you met a rudimentary magician. Let us assume he can do five simple tricks—he can pull a rabbit out of his hat, he can make a coin disappear, he can turn the ace of spades into the Joker card, and two others in a similar vein. These are his only tricks and he can’t learn any more; he can only do these five. HOWEVER, it turns out he’s...

Things that have popped up regarding the UGA/GT game that irk me:
1. The idea that GT fans don’t have class- okay, I realize our fans have a reputation for being complete assholes, but I would imagine loseing to someone 7 years in a row leaves a little room for acting like a fool. However, (GILLIAN) to act as if your school’s fans are totally classy is so wrong; I don’t think...
