Haaaaaaaa, that's neat....

Fear not! For I am still alive, although barely.

I felt compelled to write today because I was presented with this awesome application on Netflix. Basically, it allows you to superimpose your face onto the Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz singing "If I only had a Brain."

For the following video, I used this photo which totally isn't fake by the way...:


WATCH AND BE AMAZED!

I'm not embedding it since I can't disable the autoplay.

How awesome is that? Pretty awesome.

Also! In other news, I will be going to Toronto this Wednesday to see the Dead Sea Scrolls on display at the Royal Ontario Museum. I'm very excited, not only because I get to see the Dead Sea Scrolls, but also because on Wednesdays I have class from Six until Ten at night.

Small post for a small day

Plain, you see again.
Please, can I see you every day?"

Three things today

One, I know I've stopped blogging when I said I would start again, big one on Friday, I promise.

Two- Watch Glee on fox at 9 pm Wensdays, its really good, I didn't expect to like it, but I do.

Three- Watch Psych on USA, or if you don't get USA, find "another" way to get it

That is all


Oh and Wintersleep's "Have you seen my ghost"



--I guess thats four things, don't hold that against me.

Yar Matey!

Ah Hoy all ye land lubbers! Before I start on my first blurgh, I just want everyone to know that September 19th was most deffinately Talk-Like-A-Pirate day. And I would encourage everyone to take part next year 'round. And believe me... It's a blast! ^_^

But on a different note. Howdy! The name's Steve Carpenter. I'm a bud of James' just so the connection's made. We attend the same college and are in the same course. (woot, go CBRO!!...or Computer Programming to everyone out there. ^_~) But yes. As I'm now a member of the Blurgh-Nation and have my loverly picature on the banner, I can now write on this lovely space of blurghs. So I'm just tossing this in there to say hi, and let everyone know I'm alive and well. ^_^

Anywhos... If you're wondering why it says Dream Reaper instead of Steve Carpenter.. it's cuz Reaper is my handle on any and all games I play. As well as the story I'm writting. Go ahead. give my name in the right hand side bar a click and read away. So don't be confused. There's no fourth member to wonder about (yet... mwahaha!) and you haven't confused me with someone else.

But I digress... I've said hi, I've said Yar! And I am disinclined to acquihest to your requests for writting a large post at the moment. I'll bid you adieux and goodbye and I shall see you all on the flip flop. Laterz!

Pirates have invaded Blurgh Nation!

Or is it just punks with Bandannas?

It is indeed a joyous occasion as I introduce the third contributor to this blog. He's a rough and tough character, you don't want to mess with this guy. He has a bandanna.

Hailing from Bright's Grove, he has led a tough and unforgiving life on the streets. There, he developed a passion for children's playing cards and Techno music. One time, I bought him an eyepatch I found in the pharmacy section of Walmart and when he wore it he looked like a pirate, a Scurvy Pirate.

Did I mention it's talk like a Pirate Day?

Anyways, Stevey C everybody. Keep your wallets in your front pockets.

It seemed like a normal day...

Ladies, Gentlemen, Alaskans, I have momentous news to report to all of you. So momentous in fact, that I must convey the entire story to you in the only way I know how, with words. Lots of 'em.

Yesterday around two o'clock in the afternoon, I had been charged with reading chapter two in my textbook for my ASP.NET class which just so happened to be nearly seventy pages long. I had been reading all day, since I had completely forgotten about it until the day I had that class. Eventually, though my manliness had kept me going for a very long time, I grew hungry. I went to the lobby to the vending machine to purchase a bar of Candy, perhaps one made of chocolate in a bar shape.

You seem to meet the requirements.

This is where the magic happens.

Perhaps the planets aligned, or I simply garnered favor with Talnuhk'thal, King of the Vending Machines and caused this event to take place. Yes friends, the stuff of legend, confirmed! In one clean swoop, two bar shaped chocolate candy thingies fell from that row of bar shaped chocolate candy thingies! I am surely blessed to have experienced such an event, let alone to be the recipient.

It is an honor.

So because all this took place, I was able to finish reading my chapter and get to class worry free. I feel like a superhero!

Proposed costume

Aaaand now I have to read two chapters for my class at 5:30 today. I best get started.

Tony, I want to strangle you with Piano Wire...

Today is a time for remembrance for more than one reason. One, for the tragic events that happened in 2001, but this blog is for lighthearted humor so we'll be focusing on the second reason that this day is a day for remembrance.

Nineteen years ago this day, Lil' Tony Doom was born into this world inside the cockpit of an F-16 fighter jet during a routine Training exercise. His mother was practicing evasive maneuvers when all of a sudden, the G-force created such pressure that it caused her water to break and Tony just kind of fell out of there.

Since that day, Tony has achieved many things in his short time so far on this earth, including but not limited to acquiring Super Powers and then proceeding to give them up to save a truck full of babies, purchasing a Fedora, wearing said Fedora, and joining this super awesome blog.

Tony, you are the awesomest dude in the history of awesome. You should be a Super Smash Bros. character, your final smash would be to just look at them and they'd leap off the platform.

A very Happy Birthday to you Good Sir.

I'll be your tourguide for today...

Well friends, I am now back in my humble abode inside the deep cavernous walls of my College Dormitory. After hours of hard labor, back-breaking last minute pants shopping, and and one pizza later, I am now settled down and ready for my final year here at Lambton College.

I know what you're thinking, you want to see some pictures, right? Well don't go anywhere! Strap in because this parties gonna get started right now! Here is a small gallery showing the entirety of my Dorm Room.

Here is a picture of my bed:

Here's a picture of my new Roommate Sean! He's a pretty cool guy:

This is a picture of my closet, notice how clean and organized it is:

This is our hand-washing station, some would call it a sink, but we here at Lambton college are intellectuals, we only drink carbonated beverages, and only water comes out of it:


This one is a picture of our kitchen area, consisting of our Microwave and mini fridge, you can kind of see it over my shoulder:

Finally, here's a picture of my bathroom, it's quite nice, I was thinking about doing a mirror shot, but that's far too Myspace for me:

Well, that's all for now, I imagine now that I'm back at school, I might have either more or less to write about, we'll see how it goes.

Adventures in being Me: Tazers and Fonts edition!

OK FINE, I'LL POST SOMETHING! Geez...

Last Thursday, if you were paying attention to my Twits, you'd know that I went to the Hospital to have my wrist looked at, I thought I might have had Carpal tunnel, but I have since learned that that is not the case, I'm just a whiny little baby. ANYHOO...

Before I went to the Hospital, my doctor had told me that the Xrays on my wrist came back saying there was no danger of Carpal Tunnel, instead there was a slight deformity in the part where a fracture healed up, here's a diagram:

Normal wrist

My wrist

There's nothing wrong with my wrist, but an appointment was already previously made to go to the Hospital for a Nerve Conduction Test on September 3^rd.

So I went there, got to the waiting room, and not soon after I was called. The nice lady had me take my watch off and she measure and marked all over my hands with a black pen, I felt like I was being vandalized. This is where it gets interesting.

She then dabbed gel on two points on my wrist and pulled out a machine that resembled the thing the guy zapped the tiny dinosaur with in the second Jurassic Park movie before the tiny dinosaur's buddies ate him. I couldn't find a picture of it, but here's something that came up when I googled “Jurrasic Park Taser”

She placed it on my nerve and fired it up, it felt like when a doctor would hit your knee with that little hammer to make it kick, except that it was electric, and I'm a whiny little baby.

Nerve Conduction Test in action

She did that a few more times in a number of places all to find out that my nerves are perfect. Awesome.

So that was my Thursday. Let's end this on a lighter and more interesting note. I found this site while perusing one my my favorite sites Lifehacker. Fontcapture allows you to create a custom font using a sample of your handwriting. I did it, and my coolness dictates that you must now do it too in order to stay cool or become cool.

DOOM HAS RETURNED!

There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.
-Nelson Mandela

At long last I have returned to claim my rightful place as the second contributer to this blog, with new ambition, new prowess, new words and most of all a new Internet connection. Yes, I have a new connection to the information Super Highway or the Net, World Wide Web, or as some like to call it, The Series of Tubes, this can only mean one thing, I have moved into my new place. With this new place comes roommates, finally reunited with my friends Mike and Davidde, with their friend Kody joining us and newcomer Tom, my crippling loneliness will come to an end! Also with this new place comes free Internet and satellite tv, which I have missed in my year since moving away from home, in residence I had only cable and for the last 4 months I have had only rabbit ears for my television viewing pleasure (if you could call it that). But now I'm back and better then ever. Oh did I mention that I was starting World of Warcraft again? Yes, I was a habitual user before and a social user in the past month when I returned home for a funeral, but now I have decided to come back to the game after a small fling with City of Heroes and with my very on and off agian relationship with Eve Online, I return to my one true love.

I have much to write about and I'm going to start forcing James to write more so this might actually be worth the bandwidth again, but probably not.

Oh and I am going to start including songs from Canadian artists at the ends of my posts. Enjoy!
