The New French Candian Freakout

I have found the newest way to freak yourself out for free, thanks to The Arcade Fire's latest supercool interactive video.

Watch and listen, and leave only 5 and 6 listen to the song without the majority of instrumentation, only the background instruments.. Freaky shit, man.

Probably the best indie trip since prime Pixies.

Because It's Not Like I Pay Attention in Math

Random thoughts scribbled between homework, notes and a quiz:

If Hot or Not required more honesty, I might include this profile:

My name's Ray, I'm 19 and I live in Columbus. If you so choose me, I'll woo you, romance you, leave you and break your heart. I'll do anything to make you laugh. Deep down, like all men, I'm afraid of commitment, but I'm willing to go a year or so, plus a couple of agonizingly awkward months after that. Hope you like me!


My Math 102 class is a relatively blah-looking bunch. Not particularly ugly, nor glamourous - somewhere on the bright side of fugly. "Token Hot Chick" is an eight, maybe. The amusing thing about her is that, at eight in the morning, most of the guys in the class don't realize they're staring at her all the way from the door to her seat across the room. Ever seen a roomful of guys visibly follow a girl?

I swear to god I remember saying this last night at dinner - in context, no less: "Mac McKerral [WKU's ace, all-world Journalism prof] is a sixty-something single man. If he gets pregnant, it's time to collectively doubt our belief in a real and loving God."

I'm pretty sure that CNN is actually calling Super Tuesday "Super Duper Tuesday" with no shame or self-conciousness. This is rather troubling.

I can smeel Cologne Boy's cologne from here (Note, this was written in the middle of the back row while he sits near the front corner).

Things To Do With Nothing To Do (Wherein Ray Creates a Supposed Meme)

Alright, I'm outright thiefin' this one. I make no attempts to hide the fact, nor do I have any shame in doing so. But I Stumbled on this one a few days back and it's some good bullshit filler material, no?

Create a band and album!

How it works:
1. Click on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first article title on the page is the name of your band. (If it's the entry for a real musician or band, cheating with a reload is probably a good idea. Also, don't include parenthesis)

2. Click on http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.

3. Click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4. Throw them together in any way you want, but they must all be there.

Some random results:











I wanna see some good ones in my comments!

The Movie Poster Hottie Report

One of the cool things about working in a movie theater is the movie posters lining the hallways. We get to see and chatter incessantly when we're not working about how much we can't wait to see such-and-such movie. Or how cool the posters look. And which ones we're taking (currently, 3:10 to Yuma, Beowulf, 30 Days of Night, and I Am Legend line my bedroom walls, though VeggieTales and Cloverfield might take over soon). Or how hot people look on the posters.

Current Movie Poster Hotties?

Ellen Page in Juno (pregnant or not, she's indie girl hot):



Katherine Heigl in 27 Dresses:



And appearances by all three of the Holy Trinity of Babe.

Keira Knightley in Atonement:



And the reigning champion of hottie posters, landing a one-two punch is The Other Boleyn Girl, with both Scarlett Johansson AND an unbelievably hot hot Natalie Portman.



Surely more updates are yet to come.

If only I'd thought to screencap...

Whilst checking Ticketmaster's website as I am often wont to do, I decided to look for tickets for The Bravery (who are coming to town in a month) in order to prove I am not in fact a machine, I had to enter a confirmation word. And what all-too-perfect word did Ticketmaster want?

"Oppress"

I LOL'd.
