Nooooooo!
4kids, what the hell is wrong with you???
Okay, for the longest time 4kids entertainment has been the *WORST* when it comes to putting their shows on DVD or Vhs. They never put the entire series out, or never put it on DVD at all. They d… more »
Unlucky Blogging!
Well, it's Friday the 13th, what better day to describe my week with Epic Win/Epic Fail. Ironically, this has probably been the best day I've had all week.

Friday, now officially EWEF day
I gotta tell ya, going an entire week without being sick, injured or otherwise impaired leaves a person able to do much more during their week. So being that it's Friday, why don't I tell you all about it?

What is wrong with some people?
To paraphrase Einstein I believe only two things are infinite: the Universe and Human Stupidity. But I'm beginning to have my doubts about the Universe.

I'm baaack....
I'm finally feeling better and back to normal (or at least mostly). That flu I had came back with a vengeance, forcing me to miss yet another week of school and thus skip work on Sorcerer's Apprentice.

Epic Fail, the blog
Hey folks!
It's been a while since I've updated this thing, so I might as well fill you in. I didn't do an EWEF blog two weeks ago because I didn't really have enough going on to fill it, but last week was a whole different ball game, hence the featur… more »

EW/EF--now with 20% more epicness!

Christmas Aftermath
Hey everyone, I hope you had an awesome holiday (if you celebrate Christmas) and that you are still having a rocking Hanukkah if you're Jewish. My Christmas was pretty laid back. Didn't go anywhere, since I live with my mom, and I'm not much of a partier… more »

The weather outside is frightful...so I'm on the internet.
The weather has been really nasty outside. Yesterday's high was like 6 degrees--and that's in Fahrenheit, not Celsius. So I've been avoiding leaving the house if I don't have to. Since I know have cable internet I've been spending a lot of time playing a… more »

'Twas the Week Before Finals

Break? What break?
Yesterday was an interesting day.

Me+Energy Drink= Chaos
Here's something you need to know about me: I very rarely drink caffeine. Unlike a good friend of mine who takes Pepsi almost intravenously, I drink only a couple of sodas a week to survive through my evening classes. However, today I had a ton of homewo… more »

The strangest things.
I hope everyone's weekend was good, mine was uneventful, as usual. On Saturday a bunch of people in my department participated in the Red Bull Soapbox race. I wasn't able to go (but from what I hear traffic and crowds were horrible!)
Even though I cou… more »

The grind goes on
When it rains it pours. Teachers like to schedules projects at similar times, so when there's nothing in one class, there's usually not much in other classes. But when you have a mega-massive assignment in one class, it's a pretty safe bet that there's a… more »
And now for something completely different...

What is it with Vampires?
With Twilight coming out and everyone getting so excited I thought I'd ask people out there a question: why is that people like vampires so much? Now, I'm not hating on Twilight, I haven't read any of the books yet and therefore cannot make an opinion on… more »
Oh Noes! 1984!!!!!

Interesting Discoveries
I'm a little bummed at the moment. I was supposed to do this Industrial Design Lock-in where we'd stay at school overnight and create a project from start to finish. I really wanted to do it, but then last night I didn't sleep. At all. Actually a common… more »
I'm a Barbie Girl
I love Barbie dolls. I always have ever since I was a kid. I wasn't a girly girl, I didn't do makeup or tea parties or played house, but I'd play with my Barbies hours on end. I'd always play adventure games and my favorite ones were the ones that did st… more »

Yellow Foam is the EVIL!
Urethane foam, brown foam, or as well call in my department, yellow foam is a light yellow, very light, medium density foam. It's very common for making mock ups of products and it is PURE EVIL. It's very easy to carve, but it's also easy to screw up, t… more »
