xkcd

I have a friend that really, really reminds me of the Hat Guy.

He had a hard time believing this, so we tried to find a list of all the hat guy comics compiled so he could read through them and decide whether or not I was right.

I was. But we couldn’t find the list.

So…

I made the list:

Guy in Hat

/12/ ( Poisson means fish. Coincidence? )
/29/
/45/
/64/
/72/ ( I almost tweeted about how much this comic makes me think of you. )
/77/
/81/
/86/
/89/
/114/
/123/
/125/
/138/
/146/
/156/
/163/
/169/
/178/
/190/
/191/
/206/
/217/
/246/
/262/
/278/
/291/
/298/
/306/
/322/
/325/
/351/
/356/
/360/
/368/ ( Read the mouse-over. )
/374/ ( Thus begins ‘Journal’ Story-line )
/377/
/405/
/412/
/432/
/433/
/434/
/440/
/442/
/455/
/481/
/482/
/488/
/493/
/494/ ( The Secretary )
/495/
/496/
/497/ ( Does not include Hat Guy. Part of the story-line though. )
/498/
/506/
/515/
/524/
/527/
/542/
/545/
/562/
/596/
/611/
/620/

You’re welcome.

Twittedoom

I have noticed that twitter tends to crash around 3pm CST every day. I think this is because there is a HUGE influx of tweetage around that time. It just drowns the system.

So, while twitter was down, I wanted to share two of these comics from xkcd with you. They’re awesome.

This one reminds me of my physics teacher. I’m pretty sure she said almost exactly the same thing one time. And it’s funny.

This is just amazing. If anyone ever were to do that for me, I’m pretty sure I’d give them whatever they wanted like…immediately.\

So…enjoy. I love xkcd. Ridiculously a lot.

[ From Aug 25th 2009 ]

 

Family Dinner

We went out to dinner tonight. To celebrate mom’s getting a job and us not being dirt poor as a family anymore because of her job.

I, of course, was relatively unaffected by familiar recession. Only thing I felt was losing nearly $120 in groceries in a fortnight and a half to allow us to continue eating and washing clothes.

So, anyway:

We went to Pizza Inn in Denton tonight ( the one across from Kroger’s? ) and, due to my frequent exits, I sat in the middle. Nathan was telling me about something ( I’m not really sure what ) and mom told him to look at me when he was talking to me [ He has a really bad habit of looking at the table or someone he knows is going to support him when he's talking instead of looking at the person he's talking to. She was really nice about it, not at all rude ] so he looked at me and finished his story. I realized, when he did this, that he doesn’t ever blink. I mean, I know he closes his eyes ( I’ve seen him asleep =) I actually have a picture of him and the cat from the same point of time in the afternoon in separate rooms in exactly the same position lol =D ) but he just doesn’t blink. So I stared at him for a minute – which I know makes him uncomfortable – and he looked down and added another little note about whatever he was talking about. I cut across the end of it and went “Nathan? Do you ever blink?” He just goes “No.”

It was SO hilariously funny. I discovered that Nat and I have more in common than I thought. Both of us have absolutely startlingly funny senses of humour, but people don’t always understand it because of the way we deliver things. I noticed that about The Little Prince as well. But he’s much, much drier than Nat.

The point is: Nathan is awesome. And I don’t recognize that enough.

I think you can tell, the family is a little more peaceful than it was. =)

[ Ooh! The food was pretty good. I found a beer that's actually not half bad: Michelob Ultra. And the pizzas were really decent. Not as good as Papa John's ( obviously ) but not bad as buffet 'zas go. ]

Baked Potato

I’m at work – of course – and I just finished my lunch.

For lunch I ate a baked potato.

And…well, the microwave ( being all fancy ) has a baked potato button. So I clicked it. But I didn’t realise that the system of buttons was set up like this:

|option|
|option|
|option|
|button|
|option|
|option|
|button|
|option|
|option|
|option|
|button|

But thought it was set up so the button on top corresponded with the options below it. Like this:

|button|
|option|
|option|
|option|
|button|
|option|
|option|

So I clicked the wrong button, and got thoroughly confused when it asked how many ounces my as-yet-unbaked potato weighed. So I cleared everything out and announced to Jenny – a co-worker – that “I’ll just put it in for four and a half minutes and see what happens” with an air of not being able to figure out the microwave buttons and really just wanting to eat my dumb potato.

Then, in a wave of inspiration and understanding, I figured out that the buttons go in the opposite direction and – with much excitement – shouted “Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!! I get it!” and happily punched in the combination of keys to bake my potato perfectly.

Any guesses on what the time readout was when I got it set right?

4:30.

>.<

 

 

"Yeah, that was a really lame story"
'You know what?! It was HILARIOUS at the time.'
"It may have been. That doesn't mean you have to blog about it."
'Well, I used to blog about nothing all the time and people read it. Now I blog about stuff almost never. Which is better?!'
"I, well… That doesn't even really make sense."
'Probably…I've been reading xkcd too much…'

Go read xkcd.

[ I tag insomnimaniacal antics because I'm ridiculously tired. =D ]

Comic

This comic makes me really happy. And sad at the same time. Almost to the point of tears.

…

I have no idea why…

The boat certainly rocks!

I have just been to see ‘The Boat that Rocked’. Oh my word, that is a superb film. In fact, I worry slightly that by the end of this blog I may have run out of superlatives – but we’ll see.

The cast is fantastic – especially, in my very biased opinion, the casting of Rhys Darby – a brilliant stand-up comic and comic actor from New Zealand. I have embedded a wonderful short clip of his stand-up for your viewing pleasure.

Ahh, hilarious. Anyway, back to the film. All of the cast played fantastic roles, especially young Tom Sturridge, who looks a promising actor, and he was very ably supported by Nick Frost, Rhys Ifans, Tom Brooke and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Special mentions also to Kenneth Branagh and the fantastic Jack Davenport in his role as Dominic Twatt (the most obvious of running gags…).

The film is uplifting and frankly, f***ing hilarious. I urge you to watch it, although it is rated 15 for language and sexual content (mainly language to be honest, no penises here).

I leave you with a trailer of the film which I hope you shall enjoy very much. Like I said – go and see it!

Dan.

 

Rubberduckzilla

A motorist in a Mercedes was driving through the countryside on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, having a lovely time, when he came to an area of the road that was covered with a rather large puddle of water from a previous rain storm. Worried that he was going to damage the car and its engine in the deep water, he asked a local farmer (who just happened to be standing near the large pool of water) how deep the water was.
“Arr”, said the local farmer “That water only be a few inches deep!”
Relieved, the motorist edged his car into the water, expecting to come out the other side in no time. Instead, as he drove in, the water came right up the side of the car, and the engine sputtered to a halt. Sitting there with the water lapping at the window, the motorist yelled at the local angrily: “I thought you said this water was only a few inches deep!!!”
“Well”, replied the local farmer “It only come up to the waist of them there ducks!”

I found rubberduckzilla via a friend of mine on facebook. So I looked up duck jokes and I found the one above ( actually on Duckzilla’s page ) and the one below. Which just about made me die laughing.

A duck walks into a pub and orders a pint of lager and a ham sandwich. The landlord looks at him and says, “But you’re a duck!”
“Your eyes work”, replies the duck, wryly.
“And you talk!” exclaims the landlord.
“And your ears”, says the duck,
“Now can I have my beer and my sandwich please?”.
“Certainly”, says the landlord, “sorry about that… it’s just we don’t get many ducks in this pub. What are you doing round this way?”.
“I’m working on the building site across the road”, explains the duck.
The landlord watches, astounded, as the duck drinks his beer, eats his sandwich and leaves.
The duck visits regularly for 2 weeks. Then one day the circus comes to town.
The owner of the circus comes into the pub and the landlord says to him,
“You’re with the circus aren’t you?, I know this duck that would be just brilliant in your circus – he talks, drinks beer and everything!”.
“Sounds marvelous”, says the owner, “get him to give me a call”.
So the next day when the duck comes into the pub the landlord says,
“Hey Mr. Duck, I reckon I can line you up with a top job, paying really good money!”.
“Yeah?”, says the duck, “Sounds great, where is it?”.
“At the circus”, says the landlord.
“The circus?”, the duck inquires, a bit bemused.
“That’s right”, replies the landlord.
“What, the place with the big tent?. Big canvas roof, hole in the middle, loads of animals?”, asks the duck.
“That’s right!”, says the landlord.
The duck looks confused. “Why would they want a plasterer”

Okay, now that you’ve had amazingly amusing… =)

[ ps i love ducks. I really do =) they're so cool. ]

 

Krista’s Phontos

Hehe.  Dru inspired me.  So, I’m posting LOTS of photos from my phone.    It took me forever to fomat these.  My phone’s camera isn’t as good as Dru’s, so my pictures aren’t absolutely spectacular, but I like them enough.  Now, to know who some of these people are, you’re going to need to understand my family tree.

So, there are my parents, Jim and Linda.  Their kids are Kent, Kathy, Melanie, and me.  My parents are old and my siblings are all in their 30s with kids.  Kathy and Melanie are married, Kathy to Paul, Melanie to Jake.  Kent is divorced.  They all have one girl and three boys.  Kent’s kids are Kaitlyn, Mason, Zack, and Levi.  Kathy’s kids are John Austin, Houston, Allie, and Jesse.  Melanie’s kids are Carly, Mitchell, Stockton, and Hunter.  I’ve been collecting pics of them on my phone, but I don’t have a picture of Kent, Melanie, Paul, Jake, Stockton, or Jesse.  Sad sad story.  But I’ll get there.

Oh, I’m making most of them thumbnails because it’s not as big that way, and because that’s generally how small they are anyway.  They look better that way with the yucky resolution, lol.

I’m going alphabetical because that’s the way they appear when I go to add them.  Easiest way.

Afton and me when she spen the night at my house one time.    I love black and white.  We were wearing hats and taking lots of crazy pictures.  In this one we were hiding.

Afton and I took this picture and sent it to Dru when we stayed at Afton’s house.  It was supposed to be a sleepover for Afton, Dru, Britny and me, but then Dru and Britny couldn’t come!   So, we watched lots of Smallville and she taught me some dance moves.

Afton, sleeping in seminary about a year and a half ago.  Porter and I were the only other ones there besides the teacher, and we were laughing out heads off as we took this picture.  Oh, what I wouldn’t give to go back to that time.  That was the best.  Britny and Afton were my best friends, Porter and I were good friends, and the only people in my seminary class were the three of us.  The only thing I would change about that time would be Dru.  I’d definitly have to reconnect with her sooner and bring her into my tiny circle of best friends.

On our by week, Britny and I snagged Afton and we went to Mark’s Homecoming football game.  Man I had a crush on that kid for a long time.  I don’t anymore, but that was a fun day.  We didn’t watch the game as much as we probably should have, but oh well.  We had fun.  Plus I was throwing Britny and Afton together intentionally, trying to get them to like each other so I could have both best friends at once.  It worked, and Mark became my Homecoming date.  Woo!

My Daddy and me.  Everyone always tells me I look more like him than anyone else in the family.  Well cool, because he’s a cutie!  We have so much fun, my dad and me.

This is my niece Allie.  She’s cute, but she’s also a stinker.  LOUD child.

Aunt Judy!  Last year around May she and I went to this college fair thing in Cisco and we were trying on sunglasses.  I gave her these and told her they were popular and she should put them on.  This is her “I’m popular” pose.  Lol.  I’ve never had bonding time with my aunt before, so it was fun.

Woo!  Batman Bandaids.  I took these to camp last year.  I tried saving them but necessity won out and I was out of them by November.

Mmmmm Batman brownies.  Momma made these for me.  Right before the Dark Night premiere.

 For Better or For Worse.  Man, that comic is always in sync with me.  The daughter April was born the same day as me, to old parents, and has old siblings!   She has brown hair and we act very alike.  Her mom and my mom have the same birthdays, too.  Isn’t that weird?  Man I love that comic!

So out of the blue one day I decided I would wear my hair like this to school.  After I got compliments from tons of people, when I got home, my mom made an ugly face and stated that I should never wear my hair like this ever again.  Well.  *sniff*  I liked it.  That’s my letter jacket, by the way.

Briternanny!!!  This is Britny.  My best friend since the 6th grade, but more so since this year.  1/4 of the Sisterhood of the traveling CDs.  Has Dru told y’all about this sisterhood?  It’s Afton, Dru, Britny and me.  It’s a ton of fun.  If she hasn’t, then we should make a post about it and put all the playlists in it.  Right, Dru?

Lovely Carly.  She’s my model all the time.  That’s Melanie in the background.

One of my nephews had a birthday part at Chuck E Cheeses.  Took me soooo many tickets to get those glasses.

Took this out the window on my way to Cisco with Dad one day.  Same day I went with Judy, I think.  It was my first time driving the whole time.

Hunter, my little blue-eyed cutie pie.  He’s into music.  If you play it anywhere near him, he freezes and has to find it so he can watch it.  Here I was teaching the 1-yr-old how to conduct.  And he could do it.

Taken after seminary one day.  I do that a lot.  Walk out of seminary, “OOOH!  Oh my gosh, I have to speed home so I can take a picture of the SKY, of the SUNRISE!  OH MY GOSH!”  Yeah.  All the time.

Porter and Chase made finger buddies in sunday school one day.  It was hilarious.  This was Porter’s.  He used a gum wrapper for the tie.

A brand-new 5 dollar bill, a 5-yr-old 5 dollar bill, and a 5 dollar bill from the 50s.  Incredible that I got all of these in change from the same cash register!  Golly it was amazing.  I still have the antique 5.  I’m keeping it.  Forever.  Along with my 2 dollar bill.

Two can play this game, Jacob.  I’m totally G!!!  Wut!  Took this at Jessica’s house one time after I stole Chris Diamond’s hat.  Lol.

THIS is my house in Denton, Texas.  You can’t really see much but that garage, but oh well.

Heh. Took this yesterday while waiting for Jacob’s mom to pick me up and take me to a first ward priest party.  Wearing a new shirt.   I looooove that shirt.  YES I was taking pictures of myself, overhead myspace pictures!  …I was bored.  And I happen to like this one.

This is My Werewolf.  Dru took this picture and then sent it to me.  He’s better looking without the hat and with his collar down.  But does he listen to me?  Nooooo.

Zis is John Austin.  He’s so much fun.  He’s the one I wrote “Someone Close to Me” about.  He is awesome.

We all went out to eat at El Matador one day and John Austin made this “masterpiece” of peas on a fork and begged me to take a picture of it.  Lol.  It was very entertaining.

This guy dressed up as the Joker at the midnight release of The Dark Knight.  That was so much fun.  It was my first time going to a midnight showing.  I went with Dru, Josh, and Kaitlyn.  There could’ve been other people there, but I don’t remember them.  I lent this guy my joker card from my airplane deck.

Katilyn and me waiting for The Dark Knight to begin in Movie Tavern.  Katilyn is my niece and only 21 months younger than me.  She is so much fun.  I love her to death.  You know what’s funny?  I’m always saying people are so much fun, and most times its people in my family.  My family is just really fun.

Kathyyyyy!!    She has a bad eye and we were playing around.  She put that thing over her eye like a monocle and it actually helped her see.  Bizarre.

 Leaping Laurels!  I took a picture of each girl jumping, printed them out, cut them out, then put them together like this and did stuff in the dark room.  OH MY GOSH it took forever, but it was worth it.  I need to scan the final product but my scanner isn’t working.   We are Dru, Alyssa, me, Jessica R., and Afton.  Woo!

Levi

I tried out for Bronco Idol this year, a talent competition at my school.  I sang “Love Story” by Talyor Swift.  When I auditioned, I was thinking I’d wear this to perform, because it looks sort of princess-ish.  However, I wasn’t chosen to perform.  This was my prom dress from last year.  I always said it was my Cinderella dress.

Mason.  Man this kid is growing!  He’s already had a girlfriend!  He beat me to his first kiss!  My 12-yr-old nephew had his first kiss before I did!  Isn’t that nuts?  I mean, I was 17 and all…

Mitchell.  Man this kid is serious.

My parents.  Mom’s obssessed with scarves.

Mom and me being silly on the way back from Tennessee.

Ocean’s 13, woo!    I took this and sent it to Jessica Messica.  She loves this movie.

This was on the Orchestra bulletin board (yes I know I betrayed band) and I had to take a picture of it.  It’s my background on my phone quite frequently.

Jacob and I saw this on our way out of blockbuster.  I don’t know what year the mustang is, but I sure like it.

At Chistmas this year we came up with a new game for the grandkids: figure out who can play dead the longest.    Lol.  Kept them quiet for three hours.

This… is Aquaman.

So Dr. Rembecki is the amazing pediatric pulmonologist who saved my life two years ago.  His office is painted as if it were undersea.  It is so cool!  You get to be in different rooms when you go.  The dolphin room, the killer whale room, the octopus room, the fishies room, the turtle room….

This is my 18-yr-old cousin that died in January.  Her name was Sarah.

Took this of my jersey last year.  I was #21 for soccer all four years

Porter climbing a light pole at church.  It was nighttime, so the light was on.  Therefore it was hard to get a picture.  It was in December.  We went to the Twilight premiere with Afton, Mckenna, Dru, Josh, and Britny, and when Edward said “Hold tight spider monkey,” and jumped out of the window and started climbing a tree, Porter said very loudly, “Who’s the spider monkey now?” to much laughter.  When he climbed the pole, right as he got to the top, I yelled, “Who’s the spider monkey now?” and he laughed so hard he slid down the pole and almost hurt himself.  LOL.

Best phonto I’ve ever taken.  Sophomore year, in Biology.  Right before I dissected it.

We get lots of sunflowers behind the fence.

I was cutting a watermelon and noticed the rind made a good frame for one’s face.

Ugliest.  Shoes.  Ever.  Found them in Payless yesterday.

My favorite flower of the moment. 

Wack Zack

LOL.  Jessica and I dressed up at the Winchester brothers and redid this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHlXHBaC-Dg  Lol.  It was so much fun.  We actually made the video, too.  I can’t figure out how to get that on the computer, though.

In the process of finding the “Happy Holidays” video, I found this blooper video that had me laughing so hard I nearly died.  Even if you’re not a fan of the show it’s hilarious, I promise.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTVUb3HRSlA&feature=related

Anyway.  Oh man this took forever.  I did it while I did precal.  I do two problems then I post a picture.  So, now I’ve got some assignments done, but I still have so many more.  Ugh.  Wish me luck!   I hope you enjoyed this as much as I enjoyed making it.

Oh, and note that there are no pictures of Dru or Jon because I already posted them.

:Batman:

 

What’s Britain Like?

Just in case you ever got curious, American friends:

Honestly, pretty much sums it all up.
