“How do you spell ‘Sobel?'” “B-A-D!”
Jeremy = best stats teacher EVER. Just had to have that known.
Also this. I’ve known Tyler since I was born. He’s the son of one of my mom’s best friends, and as such we used to do a lot of stuff together. So yeah, I got this call this morning. Pretty insane. RIP, Tyler.
Today’s song: Slow Show by The National
A Moscow friend in Vancouver? My head asplode
And today is a short blog because all we did was dink around.
Edit: and see little kids talk about St. Patrick’s Day puke.
Happy birthday, Aaron!
Today’s song: Yuudachi by Hiromitsu Agatsuma
A very intriguing video from our friend YouTube
And this is all I have to say for today.
This really got to me for some reason.
Today’s song: Evacuate the Dancefloor by Cascada
Unremarkable
Go away.
Today’s song: First Day of My Life by Bright Eyes
A blog of several points
ONE
Zeno, bitches!
TWO
On the door of one of the area labs on the third floor of the psych building. Never saw it before because the door’s always been open and I’ve never paid attention.
THREE
Plastic bag fashion! Again, this is what results from studying stats all day. I just did the close-up of the top, ’cause the bottom kind of sucks and I got bored in the middle of it.
Today’s song: Ride On by Celtic Panpipes
Six hours of studying statistics leads to this insanity
HELLO MySpace land! It’s nice to be able to actually publish these things as I write them and not have to save them in Word. Super happy am I.
Anyway.
So I spent all morning/afternoon/early part of evening doing stats-related stuff, so when I came home I decided to do something that was also fun but in a totally different way.
REMIX TIME!!
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I actually uploaded something to YouTube. Audacity + Fireflies + love for electronic music = this. As my comments say, sorry if it sucks, but Audacity is in no way Garage Band and I have never remixed anything in my life. So yeah.
Be kind!
Today’s song: Fireflies (My Remix Version Thingy Dunno What to Call it Yet) by Owl City, remixed by me. Mainly because I didn’t have time to go find another song today.
OH GOD THE BLOGS ARE CAUGHT UP
HOLY FREAKING CRAP, did you ever think this would happen?
Finally, after about a year and a half, my blogs are once again caught up on MySpace. I would have posted these yesterday, but Photobucket was being a bitch, and I wanted the ones with pictures to, you know, actually have pictures.
Also and somewhat unsurprisingly, posting all these blogs = HUGE EMOTIONAL RELEASE. I forgot how good it was to actually post the inane drivel I come up with.
Anyway.
As said in previous blogs this week, these will start getting interesting again probably in the middle of next week. Regression midterm + Measurement homework + Infancy abstract grading + Methods midterm grading + more research crap all has to be finished by next Tuesday. Yay.
Also, I’m sure I’ll have some good stuff to post when Matt gets up here.
YAY! BLOG UPDATE CELEBRATION COMMENCE!
Today’s song: Fireflies (Playajazzy Remix) by Owl City, covered by Ahmir (yes, I have five versions of this song now)
A request
Okay people.
So I have the strong urge to draw.
I really want to work on my portraits, but aside from buying Glamour and digging through it for good head shots (it’s pretty much what I’ve always done). So if any of you sillies would like a charcoal portrait drawn by me (I don’t suck too bad at portraits, I promise), let me know and pick out a good picture of yourself that I can use. It might go up on DeviantArt, but of course I’ll show it to you and ask your permission first.
Okay? Okay.
Today’s song: Nth Degree by Morningwood
In this blog: we all get excited about statistics
SPSS gets almost as wound up about factor analysis as I do:
Jeremy gets more excitable the closer we get to the midterm. “What happens if you run an analysis of x and x squared? You’ll get HUGE multicollinearity and the program will return a ton of red text! ‘Inflation factor of ONE BILLION! ABORT! ABORT! DO YOU WANT TO PROCEED?!?!’”
Yay.
Today’s song: Something Good ’09 (Radio Edit) by Utah Saints
It’s been awhile
I should just pen-and-paper this one, I can’t draw a freaking scale in Flash. But I’ve wanted to do this one for awhile. Sorry, busy doing homework.
Today’s song: Walk Away by Alex Nifong
Random links from around since I’m busy studying
Because this kind of stuff is always cool.
Good when you want new music to match your mood.
Seriously, don’t expect much this week. Everything I have to do is pretty much due next Tuesday (the 23rd), so I’m trying to get everything done.
Also, why the hell is everyone getting engaged all of a sudden?
Today’s song: Headlock by Imogen Heap
I am 95% confident that the population parameter ‘love’ falls between you and me
(AND YES, I know that’s not the appropriate way to interpret confidence intervals…shut up, I thought it was cute)
Hahaha, oh the memories…I’ve helped save Sean from looming academic disaster literally six times now, and now, right this second as I’m typing this blog, I’m doing it again. Why am I like the only person who knows what’s going on with the U of I scheduling? Even still?
I designed the schedule that turned Aaron from Academic Probation Boy to Dean’s List member. At least, I designed the schedule that HELPED this transformation. I still hold the schedule had a big part in it…he hated his first semester classes, but really liked the ones I picked out. I know more about how the classes/schedules work than my advisor did.I know more about how the classes/schedules work than Sean’s advisor.I still have the goddamned U of I Catalog, EVEN THOUGH I DON’T GO THERE ANYMORE.I remember when in the semester drop dates without W’s are, drop dates with W’s are, and I know when the half-classes generally end/start.
Haha, I’m not complaining, I just think it’s funny. This was all spawned by Sean YET AGAIN NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT THE FUTURE WILL EXIST AT SOME POINT and relying on his luck and the fact that he knows I know the U of I catalog pretty much word-for-word. Usually that approach woks just fine for him, but who knows this time.
Anyway.
So if anyone wants academic advice/a schedule, just let me know. I’ve still got the book!
Also, Academic Probation Boy = best superhero sidekick name ever (or villain sidekick name. Dr. Procrastination needs a crony).
Today’s song: LoveGame by Lady GaGa
Stoplight Disco
This is way too fun. I just rediscovered it. They used to just have the chart thingy, but now you can double click for more! Apparently my name was popular in the 1940’s, and right now it’s 6th most popular in Spain. Not in the top 100 in any state, though.
Haha, I love this stuff.
Today’s song: White Flag by Madeline
I AM IRON MAN…DERRNERRNERRNERRNERRNERRNERR, IRON PANTS
What I spent my afternoon watching.
Some of the ones that had me laughing for quite some time:

This is why StumbleUpon should not be allowed in my office.
Today’s song: That Beep by Architecture in Helsinki
A Wordle for Prime
It’s because I’m bored. And because I totally forgot I wrote this story, haha. AND because Wordles are fun.
Today’s song: Cast Away – End Credits by Alan Silvestri
SHAMWOW (no, it’s not another Omegle conversation, don’t worry)
As much as Rube Goldberg tortured me my senior year of high school, this music video is really snazzy. I love all the crashes and bangs throughout, it’s great. So is the song.
Today’s song: This Too Shall Pass by OK Go
Senor Blog says it’s time for another adventure!
Statistical computing: there are about sixteen of us in there. Guess who’s the only female and the only non-Asian?
Tell me that’s not intimidating.
Also, I have realized over the course of several MSN conversations how tied to specific memories the majority of the songs in my iTunes library are.
I say I could pick out a specific memory surrounding the date I added a song for about 90% of them.
This is very good when I’m feeling nostalgic, but pretty crappy when I want to focus on what I’m doing at the time when I’m listening to the song.
Peh.
There was something else I was going to say today, but I honestly can’t remember what it was.
Hm.
Today’s song: Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked by Cage the Elephant
Februry Music Review
And now we mark the end of the second month of the year…and with that, time for NEW SONG STATSITICS AWWWWWWW YEAHHHHHHH!

Today’s Song: Private Machine by Thermostatic
Ah, Wikipedia…
All you ever wanted to know about crazy ass things, including dividing infinity by negative zero (-0 article).
- I love how the “your mom jokes” page has the title “Mother insult.”
- RAS Syndrome is freaking great
- Accessory Breast would be a GREAT band name.
- So would Panamax (that would be a good theatre name, too)
- The fact that there is a syndrome called Uncombable Hair Syndrome gives me hope for this world.
Also: further proof you have to love Sweden:
- Högertrafikomläggningen—the name of the day the country officially switched to driving on the right.
- Children named Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 and Metallica in protest of naming laws. “…Because the parents failed to register a name by the boy’s fifth birthday, a district court in Halmstad, southern Sweden, fined them 5,000 kronor. Responding to the fine, the parents submitted the 43-character name in May 1996…”
Yay.
Today’s song (Treasure Fingers Index): Tortoise by One Hand Loves the Other
All you need are blogs
The “OH GOD MUST WIN” link of the week.
The geeky link of the week.
The “possibly real/probably false but really funny” link of the week. I just want the figure skating men.
Haha, this is fun. Sorry blogs kinda suck, I’m reveling in being home and not doing anything of any importance.
Today’s song: Muesli by Minotaur Shock
What if I want NINETY-SIX CHARACTERS, HUH, SUBJECT?!
ALSO RANDOM PICS FROM ACROSS THE INTERNET because I said so:
Today’s song: Sing Sang Sung by AIR
Blog 1,394: In Which Claudia Loses Her Remaining Sanity
NNNNNH I’m SO FUCKING HYPER RIGHT NOW.
Hornyness + M&M’s + Olympics + techno = HOLY SHIT
I think it’s mostly the horniness and the fact that I’m back in Moscow where it’s acceptable to be horny because there are actually people I know.
Yeah.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I don’t really know what to do with myself because I’m SO INSANE right now.
ALL CAPS IS NECESSARY FOR THE REST OF THIS BLOG, BUT I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE REST OF THIS BLOG WILL ENTAIL, SO WHATEVER!
WHATEVR.
WHATEV.
WHAT.
WAT.
ZOOM.
