Day 303, 304

Whee!

Some crazy HvZ people got hold of my camera and took some shots during the mini games over this past weekend. Some of them didn't turn out all that good, while others turned out pretty cool. Here's one of the resulting pictures. In the foreground is my roommate from last year, and I'm to the right in the background. I believe this was one of my winning rounds as a human.

The minigames were fun. Today I was able to make it to the escort mission type as well as the Zombie Circle of Death. The latter got my knees scraped, as I normally dive after humans when trying to nom them. 1 on 1 usually has the human winning thanks to humans being able to have a range stun while zombies can only tag. Irregardless, it was tons of fun. I shouldn't have worn a long sleeve shirt; I got really hot underneath it, and it was in the 60s all day (in NOVEMBER?!)(INTEROBANG?!).

As for today, it was rather uneventful. Nothing of note happened in life, save for the last regular season marching band practice.

Until tomorrow, hopefully.

If only they were a bit more badass in the background...

Day 301, 302

Bah!

It's 2:30am Sunday. I spent my morning reliving HvZ in a quick mission and spent the afternoon worrying. Part of it was about a team project that'll have to be done soon, and the other part about money that I don't have. Then the million other things that bug me. Bah! Instead of reading my ranting, here's some pictures.


I mean, who doesn't love a manhole with sperm all around it? Seriously. Anyway, that's all for this weekend. I'm still going to have a post for tomorrow to, I just wanted to put both manhole pictures up because they're pretty funny. When I first saw this (because all I do when I walk is look at the ground) I had to laugh. There are some vandals (or pandals?) with great senses of humor.

And if you don't recognize those two in the first picture, well, it's not from a lack of me mentioning them.

Day 230-240

TEN PICTURES GO

Okay, so here's the deal. Humans versus zombies was all last week, so I didn't get much done in terms of pictures, but I should have enough pictures from the week/other things to put up here. I don't feel like having to explain each one, but I just might.

First, we have zombies! I got tagged on Tuesday (bummmmmmer) but that let me go hang out with the cool kids for the rest of the game. This was before our escort mission on what I believe is Wednesday. I recognize four of the people in this picture. Probably should put this on FB.

BEWARE OF ZOMBIES. At the sign in mission on Thursday. I banged my knee really, really hard at that mission. I had to go to the student health center afterward because I could barely walk. When I got there, though, I felt fine. It was fantastic. I'm feeling better now, so don't fret too much.

We dominated that mission, and nommed a few humans as well.



















These two are right next to each other on the Thursday or Friday night mission. Usually my pictures in darkness turn out bad, but I was on some steps, so I could actually have my camera perfectly still. I set the exposure pretty high, and this is what came out of it. Probably my best night pictures, right here, but I'm not too keen on the yellow light. I feel like there's a setting somewhere on my camera that could fix it, but I have yet to actively look for it.

Now, there's this. It was branching off of a weird growth on a tree during one of the afternoon missions, near the President's office. There were two of these trees, and the other had nothing like this going on.

My guess?

Biological experiment by some Tech student.


...it was weird


Now, ZOMBIE FINAL GROUP! This wasn't nearly as many as we actually had, from the looks of it. More came out later, I think. We had probably 100 or so zombies show up/be active during the final day. It was intense.





...oh Jevone, you so crazy




This would be one of the OZs making the final speech before the finale began. Yeah, there were two. I totally would've survived if they weren't so thorough about the whole "let's kill all the vet players" deal. Jerks.





...I still don't like you, Anthony. You and your Google+ shirt.


















Just a snake and a laser printed player card. Both were things I didn't think I'd get to see during the game (I totally wanted to tag the guy with the laser printed card. SO damn awesome).






So yeah, asdgjasfblawr the picture of the Portal cake didn't turn out how I wanted it too, since it became a little fuzzy. But I still wanted a picture of it. So here it is! Baked by two of the readers who were getting on me for not updating.

HAPPY?!


Finally, we have the Horde. The picture still underestimates the true size of it nearing the end of the finale. The best part about the day was having everyone in a single quad, and two humans coming up stairs into sight. The entirety of the Horde charged out after them, which made me laugh pretty hard. It's a shame I didn't get a video of it, it was too awesome.

today's video is asdf...

Day 215

Bam!

Picture: Peeps!

Background: So for HvZ this year, I'm going to be using Peeps as my marshmallow of choice. I still need to pick up some normal peeps to throw. Hopefully there are people out there with their own peeps that they aren't eating that I can use. *hint hint* Either way, I've still got a bag full of marshmallows for the finale, and God knows how much they'll cost at the grocery store, especially in the fall. I'll worry about all this when the time comes, though. And that time is coming soon...

today's video is about the master of the house...

Day 210-12

I miscounted and now have four pictures for three days. Whoopsies.

Well, here first is the scoreboard for Munchkin last night (Sunday night). Everybody got to leve nine one way or another, and we fought it out from there. Eventually S. Jr. was able to pull through, holding off his best cards until he was sure he could pull it off. That jerk! It was a lot of fun anyway, and it had been way too long since I had played Munchkin. Earlier there was also some lasagna made by some awesome people. It was delicious - enough to make a trip back to get seconds.

Next is a a little token of appreciation that one of the pit RATs gave me! It was just a little thread off of her shirt that she pulled off, but she told me to keep it when she went off to grab stuff from the band building. Me being me, I stuffed it into a side pocket and kept it. She was rather surprised that I did, apparently, and was happy.

We're strange people, the band.

It's now sitting in a safe box in my room somewhere. I really don't know why I want to keep it there. Don't judge me.

Last is my apartment room! It's mostly organized. The stuff under the bed is the fridge plus boxes left over from moving in. Don't tell my parents, but one of them might get used for HvZ instead of moving back home...Speaking of HvZ, my two bandanas are sitting right in front of the TV there. My gaming systems and music player are there too, and my phone is charging.

See the remote there? See what it's sitting on? It's a can. That can contains almonds. Natural, Whole, store-brand almonds. I didn't purchase them, and I wasn't planning to. The popcorn, the soda on the floor, the almonds? All bought by my mother for me. This is going to be a fun, but long, year.

today's video is fox news doing a good job...

Day 182

Oho!

Picture: CAMERA WAR

Background: So if you remember that Nyan CD from a day or three ago, then great! If not, well then I'll let you know that two people wanted some CDs with an hour's worth of nyancat on it. These people also happen to have a bunch of fun while making food, and I don't think they would mind if I gave them a little mention here. (It's actually three people who do their blog, but only two of them wanted the CDs). We went to WaHo near midnight to exchange CDs, and they brought five more people than I was expecting. So that, my friend reading this, is the reason why today's is late. The phones and camera pictured belong to the CSA chefs.

The rest of the pictures from tonight/this early morning are gonna go onto facebook at some point, but not right now. And not on the 117 facebook page, because no.

today's video includes a fake indiana jones...



(as an aside, I've used the "nyancat" tag on my posts a LOT lately)

Day 166

briannnnnnnnnssssss

Picture: If zombies chase us...

Background: ...I'm tripping you. I'm sorry, but I'm pretty worried about my own survival. I mean, if there's a horde behind us, and I have this feeling that you run faster than I do, then you're going down. No hard feelings. I just need to live, and you're the only thing in my way. I'll throw you a grand funeral though, when the apocalypse is over. Or we can celebrate as zombies when someone else trips me after seeing me with this shirt on.

today's video is a song that a friend showed me, designed to put you to sleep...

Day 105

Ha!

Picture: Flower (again?!)

Background: After I took the picture of the shaft yesterday, I was hanging around the Student Center and got to see these little beauties staring up at me. So I got a few good pictures of them smiling at me! Like usual, I have no idea what the names of these flowers are, but I like them anyway.

I've been busy packing that I almost forgot about this for today. I'm finally leaving this wretched yet awesome school for the summer. My final presentation in my class this morning went well (we were the best ones to present - and we only know that because one of the group members was sitting right next to the professor, looking at the grades...hehe). I'm just glad that it's all over, and that I was able to stave off any naps this year until yesterday and today. Now, I go back home for the summer....after I finish packing.

today's video is my hvz speech this semester (you only need to see the first minute or so from when linked)...

Facebook Page!

Yes, that's right, a Facebook page! Click me!

I've finally gotten off my tail end and made it. I was skeptical at first, since they didn't have the option for a personal blog on the Create a Page part of Facebook. It took me long enough to find the Create a Page part of Facebook in the first place! But it's launched, and you'll see me spamming it on my personal Facebook as well as putting a Like button on this page (which I'll probably promptly place on here soon). Personally I've stayed away from Twitter, so if you use that, sorry for now. I doubt I'll garner the popularity to justify anything past Facebook. I mean, I seriously, seriously doubt it.

Anywho, if you've got Facebook and actually read my ramblings, feel free to hop on the Like train. I'll be updating when I put a new post up and other 117 sightings, maybe even a few fun quips now and then. Since you read through all of this, I'll leave you with an interesting picture of me with my marshmallows from my first Humans versus Zombiez game last semester. Yes, that's one of those things that you use to carry your stuff into the shower. It came in handy when fighting off the Horde.

Day 37

I know I have stuff to do. I know there's something I'm supposed to be doing. I don't have a clue what, though. Hopefully I'll figure it out.

Picture: This was a triumph.

Background: Cake! It's a lie! But seriously folks...that's a cake from Portal, except that the candle was missing. The other one was an HvZ cake, or as the people I was with called it, the radioactive cake, since the ending of the Humans vs Zombiez game had all the zombiez turn into radioactive zombiez at the end. This was taken at the HvZ afterparty on Saturday night. 'twas a fun week, and we devolved into throwing socks at each other like expected.

today's video is a little reminiscent....

Day 36

Oops. Another late update.

Picture: Cardboard floppy disk!

Background: Saturday morning mission and finale was today. Too much detail and too much fun to put into a post this late at night with this much tiredness. Just know that we had to steal that piece of cardboard and hide it. We did it successfully. I don't know how effective it was later, but whatever. We had lots of fun today, and I think that the finale turned out well even though we let 5 humans escape our wrath. If you want any part of the story of any part of this week, just talk to me since I like telling a story personally rather than telling one over the phone or through messages or things like that.

There's a building implosion tomorrow at 7am. I really don't know if I want to wake up for it just because I've had a long, tiring weekend, and I'm not guaranteed a good view anyway. So I'll probably just sleep through it. Fine by me.

today's video is of a couple old geezers...

Day 35

Late update!...I blame playing Sins with my roommate for this one.

Picture: It's a plane! Hiiiiiiii

Background: Yet another picture taken on Monday. I was really, really going to take a picture today (probably of myself to show the tiredness of this whole week). But the game went through today, and things were looking up after the end of tonight.

But actually about the picture; I wish my laptop screen wasn't so icky so I could actually tell if this is a halfway decent picture or not. There's splotches that sort of blur the screen just slightly enough to where it's noticeable if you're trying to examine the quality of...well, a picture. From what I could tell, though, I would be happy with putting it up here.

today's video is a song title that really describes me as i write this...

Day 34

Whee!

Picture: THE COST OF VICTORY

Background: You should see my left knee. It's really messed up all to hell. I started carrying bandaids on Tuesday when I scraped up the side of my leg under my right knee. Later (today, in fact), I started carrying neosporin around because of the bad left knee injury. We're not getting as many humans as I'd like. The Horde's power isn't what I'd like it to be. But we're pushing on tomorrow in the hopes of grabbing more. This week has been long. Very, very long. And it's nearing the end...

today's video is...how...how did they...what on earth

Day 33

Another long day. My feet are rebelling. I think I'm Libya.

Picture: Impressed, no?

Background: Okay, that was a bad pun, I admit. I couldn't resist. This was taken on Monday like a few other days' pictures. I honestly have no time to carry around a camera for a picture, and I'm dead tired (haha, zombie humor) and about to watch a movie with some dorm mates. Plus, I like this picture. It was on the sidewalk going away from the student center, farther and to the right of yesterday's picture. My thought process was that people ignore these little imprints all the time. Why not highlight it once to show something that you don't always see or recognize?

Today has been long. I can't wait for sleep, but it's movie time.

today's video is a really awesome song by a norwegian band...

Day 32

nomnomnom

Picture: The MARC (according to the campus map)

Background: Oh, did I mention? I was the OZ! I got to eat innocent players who dared trust me. Muahaha! So I had the perfect liberty to take whatever pictures I wanted. So I stuck around the Student Center and took a couple pictures, including this one near one of the wide open walkways. I really like how this one turned out. I took some more of the flowers you can see right there, but I don't think they came out that well. I also took this picture two days ago, and I'm using it now because I have not had the time to take a picture all day. I got up, had breakfast with a couple zombiez, had some classes, more zombie time, more classes/a lab, lots more zombie time, and now. Carrying around the point and shoot camera really hinders your ability to run after humans.

The first mission of the day didn't turn out too well for me. Got stunned twice and the group didn't get any humans that I know of. Later I drew a little bit of blood (my own, promise) diving after a player (who happened to break the rules and will probably be zombified later) who got away. Then the night mission was horribly outnumbered on the zombie side, but we still got plenty of kills. Two from the rushes (marshmallows EVERYWHERE) and several more after everybody went home when the mission ended.

I also door dived a guy who should've thrown a sock when he was within that 5 foot range and didn't, and got two more by sneaking up on them. But the humans are smarter this time around, and they're organizing more...it's irksome. However, you all get two videos today because you read through that wall of text!

today's video is an awesome hockey shot...that was an attempt at a similar shot...

Day 31

Monday o_o Wonder who's gonna die today...

Picture: Fly like the wind!

Background: I was on my way to Percussion Ensemble when I got the off chance to see this on my way. It was pretty awesome. So I got my camera out really fast and took a single picture just in case there was anybody around. Then I saw a human walking across the street, he threw me a sock, I threw it back, and we went on our way. There's zombiez out now for sure. Kill board says upwards of 20, and there's a little over 300 players currently. It's gonna be intense.

Not much else to report, just a normal Monday full of paranoia.

today's video is backin' up backin' up backin' up...

Day 30

Whee! Humans vs Zombiez starts tomorrow! And I am totally PUMPED!

Picture: Three dead trees in construction

Background: It's really kind of a depressing scene, what with the mounds of dirt and all the construction. It's been nonstop this year so far, and they tell us it should be over by the Fall semester...but we'll see how that goes. I got a bunch more pictures of things today since I had some time to walk around freely. There are side walkways to navigate through, but traffic gets really heavy during the peak times. It's a little frustrating that the major walkway is closed too, which makes getting to the Student Center that much more annoying after a walk up the eternal hill that is Freshman Hill. Bike up it? Oh heck no. I'd get probably a third of the way up before keeling over and gasping for water. I hate that hill.

Like I said, HvZ starts tomorrow. I don't know if it's bad that I won't be sure that I can sleep for it tomorrow, but there's no way I'm pulling an all-nighter or that kind of stuff. My marshmallows are ready for the throwing.

today's video is...what is toronto?????....

Day 28

Four weeks? Holy crap. It doesn't feel like that long.

Picture: >:^D

Background: It's a marshmallow! I'm obsessed with HvZ, okay? And I have a Sharpie...and a stale marshmallow...I did this a few days ago. I figure that now that I've got time, I'm gonna be writing on some of my marshmallows for fun, so when the zombiez get hit, they can see the word "STUNNED!" on the marshmallow or something like that. This is my experimental one, I guess you could say. Any suggestions as to other (appropriate) things to write on them?

Had only one class today, and nothing to do over the weekend for once. I might actually play my Xbox for the first time in ages. Since the snow day/week in early January, actually. Weird.

Last night as I was about to turn off my computer for the evening, I noticed something about my top played songs...see for yourself (click!). The song playing at the top is also pretty cool, and you should listen to it and the rest of the album. It's an artist called C418 (I posted their song "acid"

today's video is really cool slow motion...

Day 27

I have TIME tonight. Say whaaaaaa

Picture: Order 69, Thank you

Background: *giggity* I figured that the GT Band would like this, at least. When the Taco Bell lady gave me my ticket and said my order number, I rejoiced a little inside. Right when I got it I knew it'd be today's picture. That's how a lot of them get taken in this Project so far - I know the picture when I see it. Sometimes I don't see it all day and make one up. Whenever that happens, I pick something around me that would make a good picture for the day. That penguin poster for Day 20 is an example of that, or the T that looked like a blue male body part (which actually turned out to be a good post, I think).

Extra pumped for HvZ. I went to the player meating tonight, and they reexplained the rules for the four of us that actually showed up. Possibly buying another bandanna for decorating purposes, but apparently you can only wear one at a time. Jerks! But they're admin so they're cool. I just can't wait to play. It's so dang fun.

today's video is 10 pretty funny moments (not the best imo, but still)...

Day 26

Hockey night again! And I'll probably see some of my high school friends there too. Sweet!

Picture: Aren't they just the cutest? A bunny and duckling bag...so CUTE

Background: So roommate and I went to Target for stuff. I needed stuff like new shoes, pants for a concert, tissues, things like that. He needed marshmallows for HvZ, which is a perfectly reasonable excuse to go to Target. We separated to get our own things, and when I saw him later...he had these. They're little bags to hold his marshmallows. His thought process, which I totally agree with, is that the zombiez will be completely humiliated (zombiliated?) by having a human stun them by use of these cutesy little bags. It's pure awesome.

Not much else to report...just life as usual. Study study study study teeworlds work work work sins of a solar empire run to class go go go go study study. Sleep? What's that?

today's video is a speech that i completely agree with...
