Smashing Pumpkins ='s smashing alarm clocks

After my Smashing Pumpkins post that reminded me of an important lesson learned freshman year of college. This is one lesson that had nothing to do with the hundreds of dollars wasted on textbooks. You see up until that point in my life I'd always just used either the buzz sound of the alarm clock, or maybe the radio like Sonny and Cher a la Groundhog Day (a classic by the way). Well, that all change once KVB and I became roommates. You see he lent me what I thought was something I'd been missing all my life, an alarm clock that could wake you with cassette tapes and not this. Turns out waking up sucks even when you are waking up to this instead (lent on cassette with the alarm). In fact you even begin to hate something you used to really enjoy. Anyway, the morale of this story... stick to the buzz sound because it's better to hate that than to be conditioned to hate the good things (another victim of freshman year).

Stupid youtube crap

My roommates here introduced me to the buffalaxed videos, which are basically foreign songs which he's written subtitles for what he thinks the words sound like in english. It's mostly stupid, but partially awesome.

This one is the crazy Indian song, or Benny Lava. Also the music video itself is sweet!

David

I don't know what possessed me to check this blog today (extreme bordom of the early morning I guess) and there was actually new stuff, so I thought that I would add my own, since this picture is great.


At work we were talking about Roman art and the scuplture in our waiting room. So one of the girls just had to forward me this picture about when the statue of David was brought to the states.


After a short stay in America, Michelangelo's David returned to Europe...

I know this is dumb...

I know this is dumb, but it killed me. I only read The Onion from time to time because a lot of the stuff on it is just not that funny, but this one really had me cracking up. Hope you enjoy.

Internet Radio

A tip of the hat to my wife for pointing out this website. This is the best internet radio I've seen yet. You can listen to preset stations or make one based on artists you choose, and best of all no commercials. It's pretty useful if you're working online anyway and like to have something playing in the background.
