Day 323, 324

To my finals this week,

BRING IT

That is all.

-Wes

(These pics were from midnight breakfast with CSA Chefs. Yeah.)

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.

269-272

Oh jeez.

Well, for the record, Monday and Tuesday were mostly uneventful. As was Wednesday. Except, it was cold on Wednesday. I hate the cold. And it was cold today, Thursday. But I get to wear my Apocalyptica gloves now! So all is not lost, yet I still hate the cold. Praying for a quick end to fall/winter/the early, cold part of spring already.

So, since Blogger messes up whenever I try several pictures next to each other, I'm going to go ahead and describe them to you. First was taken on Wednesday. The Pit has a thing about pineapples, and I think Erin may have missed Vet Appreciation Day. So instead, Erin went ahead and got her Vet this awesome cape. SuperVet, to the rescue!

Next, it's me again! I had to take a picture for my sister. My mother, sister, and I are all auditioning for Wheel of Fortune. Why? Well, why not? I've been watching it for ages, and I even called out a letter during a show when I was only a 1.5 years old. It'd be cool to appear on it!

Then, I present to you, PAPER! That's my two stories right there, a combined 61 pages of paper. I did some hardcore editing today (if you can call it "hardcore") in the Student Center. It was nice to sit down and just read/edit for once.

Finally, the healthiest my fridge has ever been. Dean's French Onion Dip, Dr. Pepper, and orange juice. I had to grab some things from Publix yesterday after band, and while I was there I decided to grab the orange juice. I keep finding myself lacking in something to drink with my ramen at night, and this works out better than Dr. Pepper.

So there you have it! Four pictures, four days.

today's video is awesome physics...

Day 241

Hut hut, HIKE!

Picture: Flower (again?!)

Background: Okay, name it for me. I know you're out there, flower-nomenclature expert! This is sitting between the Student Center and the school theater. They're larger than your average flowers, too, so I had to get pictures of them. I think this turned out really nicely as well! One of my better flower pictures, in my opinion.

In other news, I cooked dinner for the first time here (other than just ramen which, as I typed this, I realized I completely forgot to get when I went to the store today. Crud). I might send the recipe over to a specific few people to try out. It's a home recipe that combines Stuffed Bell Peppers with Texas Hash, and it delicious. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made it, obviously.

today's video has the word texas in it...(and partial nsfw warning)...

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 216, 217

I'll owe you a Saturday picture, then.

First picture here is the most ghetto* way to open a can. Hammer and screwdriver to open a small hole in it, then the pliers to pull open the lid. No pain involved...thankfully. It was slightly annoying to scrape the food out of the can itself with a plastic fork, but everything turned out well in the end. That night I ate with my roommate from last year - and it was delicious. You'll probably not think the combination that we had was good, but forget that! It was good! Then we played video games for the next hour or so while my roommates drank and played games out in the room lobby.

Next, it's my campus! That tradition that it not endorsed by the college has led to signs that read "WES CAMPUS". Therefore, since my name is Wes, I own half of campus! But yeah, not too much of note has happened. I went to a volleyball game that turned out really well. I saw a couple episodes of Dr. Who. There's not really much else to report on my end, hence the lack of interesting pictures.

today's video is about planking...




*i do not use this term lightly

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 202, 203

This'll be quick

Pictures: Fire extinguisher label, and dinosaur nuggets eating each other

Good, long practice. Food was from lunch. Fire extinguisher in practice. Short post because roommate at the hotel is trying to get some sleep. But there's at least two pictures and I'm all caught up! Hurrah!

...omnomnom...

Probably should say something here where there's so much space. Oh well.










No video, sorry :(

Day 171

Boosh!

Picture: Thanks for buying a bag

Background: or at least taking the time to read the back! At work we've got these chips, Zapp's chips, that are pretty good. Most of them have the same little quip on the back of them except these. This is the back of the Voodoo chips that they have. It explains how the flavor mix came to be and that they held a contest to name it. Sounds like they have a bit of fun there, which I think every company should. But what do I know?

today's video is related to yesterday's, featuring the mythbusters...

Day 143

Woof woof.

Picture: That dog again! (from two days ago)

Background: Mostly because nothing of major note happened today. Apparently there was a debate on TV, but I missed it because of work. And I probably would have missed it anyway because debates and politics don't have any interest to me. I probably should care about politics and the presidential race and those things, but my personal opinion is that once they're in office, they're going to get bought by groups to where it's those groups controlling it all. But it's nice that they at least put on the air of free elections for us.

...please don't start a political debate in comments, all three of you who read this :(

today's video is about stick figures on drugs...

Day 136

Lots of stuff went on today.

Picture: Ganache Cake from Publix

Background: Worked lunch shift. Grabbed a shower and some nicer clothes at home. Talked to people at Verizon. Got a shake from Steak n Shake. Talked to people at Verizon again. Got texting - by the way, you don't have to text me if you don't need me. Got this cake at Publix. Went to church for a miniature social deal, where this picture was taken. Got home. Realized that Mom and I left the van at Publix. Grabbed van at Publix. Home again.

And now, typing this up. Joyous day, today has been.

today's video gets you thinking with portals...

(PS - this cake is not a lie)

Day 131

About to play some 3 card poker, baby

Picture: There's something missing...

Background: The deck! It doesn't have a railing! The 'rents decided to expand it (finally), and Dad took the railing off yesterday. I took this, which I've been meaning to, and some WIP pictures for the 'rents. Apparently Mom already got the Before pictures. I'm curious as to how it'll turn out. There's lots of talk about how far it'll go out, about pergolas, and the wall below. I might take an after picture just for you guys. Because I love you.

...as a friend

today's video is about uprising (read the vid description first)...

Day 129

For some reason I searched the number 129 to see if it was prime (it's not, it's apparently semiprime), and it's actually the sum of the first ten primes. It's even a happy number! Seriously, where do mathematicians come up with this stuff.

Picture: Sorry, flower-namer, I actually know this one!

Background: It's a marigold! Emphasis on the "gold". Then again, it does look merry. This is probably one of half a dozen flowers I can name by sight. I took this (along with what will probably be the next few days' worth of pictures) on Saturday after working outside for a bit.

For today, I went to work for my brother that's closest in age to me. He does catering around here, and today's job was a 400 person deal. I haven't gotten up at 6 in the morning in quite awhile, and I hope I don't have to until July when I work for him next.

today's video is about ponies, physics, and fantastic animation...

Day 124

...

Picture: $1.17 tip

Background: I was calculating a tip I was giving for the night, and if I wanted the bill to come out even, I would've had to tip x.17 (since the bill was x.83). So, in the spirit of the number, I tipped $1.17 and saved the customer copy of the receipt. I know, my thumb's nail is really long, don't judge me. I just don't really think about them.

Last night was...interesting. I don't want to go into detail, but I learned about things and found out about things that I didn't know were true. Yes, very vague and mysterious, but I'm not going to bother you all with my problems. But I've been feeling down since about 5am and my favorite music isn't helping. Heck, I drove home in silence, so you know there's something strange going on. I'll be fine, though, I promise :)

today's video......

Day 116

Hey! Tomorrow is the 117th day! If you happen to have any pictures to do with 117, just yell.

Picture: You're so jealous

Background: Or, you would be, except you won't be jealous of the fact that, just before smugly thinking I was going to be rubbing these beautiful pieces of goodness in your face, I spilled the ice cream on my carpet in the bedroom. I was all high and mighty until I opened the page for posting and dropped the bowl of heaven on the floor, staining the carpeting. So before typing this out, I walked to the 'rents room, asked what to use to get the stains out, and cleaned it all up. Definitely learned a lesson today - don't put ice cream on the edge of my small desk. It'll fall. There's probably another lesson to learn about being smug and jealousy, but it escapes me.

On the plus side, if you look carefully, the Toblerones have the triforce on them. The triforce. That was the first thing I noticed about them when I was given them. Awwwww right.

today's video is about four loko...(nsfw)...

Day 82

Dangit!

Picture: Math Graffiti

Background: So I took this picture and submitted it to onlyattech.com, and apparently someone beat me to it! Lame! At least I've still got this picture for here then, since absolutely nothing interesting or picture worthy happened today. Yeah, today's not over with, but the majority of my campus wandering is pretty much over with right now, save for the trip to the library later tonight.

today's video is pumpin' up the jam...

Day 69

Awwwwww yeah

Picture: You hungry?

Background: So yesterday I was with three other people doing a short gig for the Hinman building. They renovated the place and looks very nice inside. A presentation (with the president there!) was given, part of it being the choir singing with us four percussionists playing toms/triangle/tambourine. It was pretty cool, we did well, and there were lots of people to watch us. Behind us, though, sat these very highly tempting strawberries coated in chocolate. Three different trays of three different chocolates. What stinks is that I never got to eat one since I was helping pack things up. But I can just imagine their goodness by looking at this picture.

And thankfully, it's not a half-bad picture either, I think.

today's video is a pretty funny phone commercial...

Day 68

It's been awhile since I've updated before 1pm!

Picture: omnomnom?

Background: I just thought this was funny. I was walking back from class to my dorm when I saw this thing sitting there. I can't come up with a good pun for this, though. Like, I've had ideas about some, but I've been on the fence of whether I like them enough or not. The core of my humor isn't strong enough; that, or it's just not seeded in a way to flourish. My efforts have been, overall, fruitless and rotten.

Today's post has been brought to you by Puns, Puns, Puns!

today's video is a cool technological advance...

Day 57

I'm on time :|

Picture: Eat Fresh!

Background: First person I've seen since coming back home, Allan! He works at the Subway pretty dang close to my house. If the roads nearby weren't so dangerous than I could be within biking distance of it. Sounds like he's getting along pretty well for only his fifth day, so I had to go and give him a hard time. The guy he was working with also was giving him a hard time, so all is right with the world!

Today was my mother's birthday, so she got taken out to both lunch and dinner. Lucky her! Except she got older, so it balances out. And Longhorns was pretty good, too, so it was doubly balanced, if that makes sense. Other than that, mostly uneventful day. Which was nice, for a first day off.

today's video is just impossible...
