Oh, Comic Sans…
Hahaha, wow, I thought I was anal about fonts. In truth, I kinda started to feel sorry for Comic Sans once I began typing it into Google and found, within the first few lines of suggestions, these:
“Comic Sans should die”
“Comic Sans is not a font”
And:
“The Combs’ site also reported the Ontario New Democratic Party included the clause ‘Ban the font known as Comic Sans’ in its recent omnibus ban bill, proposed at the 2005 session of Ontario Model Parliament in Canada. However, the message was signed under ‘NDP Against Comic Sans’, leading to doubts of the validity of the claim. Further investigation revealed it was from a youth model parliament.”
Apparently people feel that it is overused (not going to argue there) and that it should be taken off computers.
Also, this: http://bancomicsans.com/home.html
The funny thing about this site is the fact that their bumper stickers, reading “Ban Comic Sans,” are written in Comic Sans. Doesn’t that completely go against their goal?
What’s even funnier is the fact that I can’t tell if this is a joke site or not. People are just crazy enough to try and ban a font.
Claudia’s 867th Blog: The Blog
So we finally did Bins on the field today.
Thank god.
I’m already super sick of this damn show.
That is all.
Fontasia
This is genius.
Also, “Fontasia” would make an EXCELLENT Flash project, and would be attempted if I weren’t so lazy.
NEEEEEEEEEEEEEWTOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!!
As told through MSN Messenger. Of course.
I’m going to start measuring everything in Newtons
Because the guy came up with three seperate scales for three seperate things…if he’d have lived longer, I’m sure everything would be measured in some Newton or another
Heck, I wish I knew his height so I could use it for a length measurement
Marching band would be great
“Forward march 13 Newtons, then adjusted step 4.33 Newtons”
It’ll also give me more chance to rave about the season finale of Metalocalypse, anyway
Haha, “I give it 5 out of 5 Newtons”
Fun with the Periodic Table
Here are some words/phrases you can spell with the periodic table!
– EsOPHAgUS
– ThInK In InK
– ThIS IS SPArTa!
– VAGINa
– PIKAcHU, I CHOOSe YOU!
– PaPa LiKEs AlCOHOLiCS
– CoWArDs PaNiC WITh No UNdEIS
– CuBa Has No CuBeS
Yeah. This takes a long time and, while very fun, I have a lot of homework to do already.
ASLDFJSALFD ASKCD I FEEL LIKE CRAP
GOD I feel like crap tonight. Don’t know what’s up, but I don’t feel much like blogging. Fun will resume tomorrow, I promise.
God, more of this crap?
Dear everyone,
Yes, I dress differently than you. Get over it. I know it’s hard to do, but please don’t automatically judge my character by the way I look. I try to make the effort with you. The only thing you can conclude from the fact that I dress differently from you is—surprise!—the fact that I dress differently from you! Holy shit, you mean not all peoples’ personalities are represented by their clothing?! NO WAY.
Bastards.
These blog titles need more sexual euphemisms
Yay! Happy birthday, Matt!
Your party = awesome. :)
You = awesome, too.
That is all.
Flapflapflapflapflapflapflapflapflapflap
So we have a new roommate in our house.
We named him Algernon.
Because he’s a FREAKING MOUSE.
Yeah, he chewed up through the carpet in my room and now he’s wandering around our house.
Fun times.
Oh wow
Today we played Rock Band for 14 hours straight. This is what life is all about.
You know you have problems when you all start thinking you’re in an actual band.
And when Aaron starts to re-write the lyrics.
I’d type more, but my fingers hurt.
Two Sentences
I freaking love this house.
That is all.
Woo!
YAY FIRST DRAG SHOW OF THE SEMESTER!!!
Super fun, as per usual. Luckily the boys were all out of the living room when I came back.
I’m hoping I’ll be able to perform before I leave Moscow forever. Because I WILL leave Moscow forever.
Yeah.
Drunk people are great
Wow, I love living in this house. Tonight my roommates got drunk and we played Rock Band, in that order.
I’ve never seen somebody drum a 92% on medium and then, after the song’s over, be uncoordinated enough to fall off the drumming chair. Awesome. I hope the rest of the semester’s this sweet.
Fun with Zeppelins
Hahaha, so most of these are from awhile back, but I finally just rediscovered them. For some reason, I came across the Hindenburg’s Wikipedia page, and, for some reason, I totally got a kick out of the whole idea of a zeppelin disaster. I’m a horrible person. These are excerpts from my messenger conversations, old and new.
Only 36 people died from the Hindenburg disaster?
I thought it was a lot more than that
Zeppelins are way too hilarious to be taken seriously
Why do I find this funny? What is wrong with me?
“Hydrogen: The H is for ‘Humanity'”
Oh god, it was named after someone
That poor family line
Apparently the United States’ monopoly on helium was the reason they used hydrogen
WHY IS THAT FUNNY?!
Germany: we’d like to use helium
US: you can’t, we’ve got a military embargo on you
Germany: but helium is reliable and is non-flammable—
US: go back to the periodic table, bitch!
And “rigid airship” sounds dirty
Ferdinand von Zeppelin = best name EVER
Dammit, I want to buy a zeppelin, but eBay’s search function is down
HAHAHA…www.hydrogennow.org has a picture of the Hindenburg going down on their “safety” page
That is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen
These jokes are so horrible…”I went for a zeppelin ride and all I got was some humanity”
If they had called themselves Hydrogen Zeppelin, would the band have crashed and burned?
I don’t know why I’m on this “find the humor in the Hindenburg” kick all of a sudden
But the comments on one of the YouTube videos of the original reel are HILARIOUS
“nah its all good just play it backwards and the hidenburg rises back to normal flying all the way back to germany”
“”oh the humanity” is olde english for “holy f*cking sh*t””
Oh dear…
So.
The house is getting Netflix. Movies already on our queue include:
- The Brave Little Toaster
- The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue
- The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars
- The Last Unicorn
- The Fox and the Hound
- Jurassic Park
- Starship Troopers
- Robin Hood (Disney version)
And like six million other movies from our childhoods.
It’s going to be a fun year.
Classes: Part II
Classes, day two, review!
Philosophy of Science: God, 8 in the morning…this looks like it may be a challenge.
Philosophy of Mind: IDENTITY. CONSCIOUSNESS. FREE WILL/DETERMINISM. DR. O’ROURKE. YES.
Ethics: Meh, I don’t think this will be too bad. It’s kind of weird taking a 101 class my senior semester, though.
Classes: Part I
Alrighty people, classes, day one, review!
Marching Band: Nothing new here. Same old badassery.
Nonparametric Statistics: Um…not sure if this is going to be easy or difficult. We talked about probability density functions today, and I think that’s something I’m going to have to know a little bit more about. But other than that, we’ll see…
Cognitive Development: So there are only seven of us in this class…the tests are five open-ended questions…there is one paper…and this is a 400-level class. Yeah.
And I have to start Psychology of Learning at some point, too, but that’s later. I’m lazy.
ALSO.
Do you see anything wrong with this?
Answer: the axes!!!! They’re WRONG! If “girls” is the x-axis and “cups” is the y-axis, they should be reversed on the graph.
Sorry, but I’ve never seen a mistake in xkcd before.
Oh, the Christianity!
I’m sorry. I had to. Long story behind this one.
If there’s a hell, I’m going to it.
Drama: just what we need
UGH why does everything I do seem to make someone else’s life a little bit crappier? This is obnoxious, and a crappy way to start the semester.
Ah, band camp…
How I missed thee.
And at least my squad doesn’t suck like it did last year (though we still have to put up with Beau pretending that he’s in charge of everyone in the clarinet section…I’m SO LUCKY he’s not in my squad!).
I think we’ll have good shows this year.
