I think I’ve said this before, but with my Twitter microblogging, I find that I have less to write about in my blog because I feel like it would be repetitive, even though I’m pretty sure my blog readers and my Twitter followers don’t overlap all that much.
First thing’s first: I don’t think I’ve linked to fmylife.com yet, so…there you go. It’s a great site with some really short, depressing stories (some NSFW – all text though, no pictures).
Last weekend was pretty awesome. I did a lot of hanging out and picture taking, and on that note, my new camera is awesome. I don’t have any videos worthwhile posting yet, but here’s a picture:
I really like that one – not because it’s an excellent display of my camera’s abilities or anything, but it’s just a good memory, I guess. That party was really, really fun and I’m pretty sure everyone had an absolute blast. I hadn’t seen Damien in a couple years, MCat in over a year, and Bates or Mikrish for a quite a few months. It was really nice to catch up with all of them and hang out with everyone that I do see pretty often. We talked and danced and listened to music pretty much all night. Good times.
The Sunday morning after the party, some of us went to The Chimes for brunch and…dear Lord, it was absolutely delicious. Words can’t even describe it. I had a Boudin Omelet which came with some delicious grits and a biscuit. Soooo good. *drool*
As usual, my week was pretty lame after that weekend, until I got some calls to set up a couple of interviews. I had those on Thursday and they went pretty well. I got called back for a second interview on Monday at one of the places, and I have another interview with a different place on Tuesday. At least I feel like I’m getting somewhere now.
Also, I’ve had a cold for a few days now, and it’s been pretty annoying. The good news is that I think it was at it’s worst on Wednesday. I’ve been getting lots of rest, since besides those interviews, all I’ve been doing is watching Dragonball Z (thanks to a heads-up from Keith that anime was on sale at Best Buy). I call it DBZ marathon therapy.
I baked a Funfetti cake yesterday. Mmmm.
That’s it. I hope everyone is having a good weekend. I have to go back to Jeice talking about throwing some ribs on the barbie now.

Here’s some stand-out stuff about 2008, according to me!
-Best movie of 2008: Speed Racer (I suggest clicking ‘watch in HD’)
-Best musical artist I started listening to in 2008 (I want to avoid the intricacies of the word “new”): Katy Perry (always liked this song, glad they finally released it as a single)
-Best new song of 2008: Disloyal Order of Water Buffaloes
-Best new TV show of 2008: I don’t think I started watching any new shows in 2008. 
-Coolest technology of 2008: Unibody MacBook/MacBook Pro (seriously, what else would you expect? 
)
-Most embarrassing day of 2008: October 3
-Coolest day of 2008: December 11
That’s about all I can think of for now.

I was browsing through Katy Perry’s blog/tumblog, and I found this amazing link that made me laugh for like 10 minutes.

There’s a car right now in the much coveted parking lot next to CEBA that’s taking up two parking spots. It’s pretty infuriating, and everyone knows it. I passed by it a couple of times looking for a spot when I noticed some paper on its windshield. One of the papers was face-down, but the other was up, and I took a picture of it.
You will not be disappointed unless you have no sense of humor.
Good times.

So, in one of my never-ending fits of boredom, I finally decided what I wanted to do with wethemeek.net, and I’ve gone and created a forum with it. I know what you’re thinking: “…why???”
Honestly, I love forums and tight-knit communities and it’s just hard to find them. So, out of desperation, I’m just trying to create my own. I’m well aware that no one will join and post, but I’m linking to it anyway in hopes to prove myself wrong.
So, click on this link and join, post, read, and stuff! D:
Again, that’s http://www.wethemeek.net/.

Because I’m lazy, I’m going to make a nice bulleted list of what I did recently that I haven’t written about yet:
-Keith Carrolled it up on Thursday
-Went shopping with my mom (for Michelle’s birthday presents) on Friday.
-Watched Juno (I liked it) on Friday.
-Watched Mr. Woodcock (it was okay) on Saturday.
-Went to eat at Ryan’s with Michelle’s family on Sunday.
-Went shopping with Michelle (I got a new shirt, oh boy) on Sunday.
-Became a big rock star today.

This is probably the most amazing (unique?) live performance I’ve ever seen. Seriously. It’s not even one of my favorite songs by her, much less one of my favorite songs overall.
This one isn’t too much less amazing. She’s apparently using something called a synth vocoder where she controls what frequencies are amplified. You can tell me you don’t like when people use synthesizers in music all you want – the fact that she can do this live (and all by herself) is simply amazing.
Imogen Heap for the freaking win.

…so I thought I’d post some of my favorite things I’ve ever posted on my blog over the year and 8 months I’ve had this version of it. This will be very random, and probably contain random statements and random pictures and random links.
This picture drawn in Free Speech Alley at LSU.
“Keith: i just got spam
Keith: that said
Keith: I had premature ejaculation problems.
Keith: SOMEONE IS SPYING ON ME
Becca: oh lord.
Becca: i TOLD you
Philip: ha
Lane: …..
Becca: it’s not about WHEN
Becca: but HOW
Becca: so long as you keep going
Becca: I DONT CARE
Keith: …
Keith: THANKS FOR YOU KNOW
Keith: GOING WITH IT
Keith: INSTEAD OF DEFENDING ME”
“Usually right before a test in any of my lecture classes, I’ll get an e-mail that some random person sends out about how they missed class for whatever BS reason and need the notes. Well, I have an economics test on Tuesday, and I just got this email, which is probably the most truthful one I’ve ever gotten like this, sadly…
ya im a alcoholic and i go out pretty much everynight. im struggling to get 2.0 this semester and need as much help as possible, can i get the notes for the second test?”
“A very interesting thought entered my head today while at Barnes & Noble. I noticed a book in the “Chicken Soup” series called “Chicken Soup for the Dog & Cat Lovers Soul” and that got me wondering if they have any plans to release “Chicken Soup for the Chicken Lovers Soul” out of pure ironic hilarity?”
There’s an elephant in the way.
The real effect of Hurricane Katrina.
“I saw a commercial today on TV and I was like, “Damn, those shrimp look good,” and then the camera zoomed out and it was Honey Bunches of Oats.”
“So I just found like 5 manilla folders full of comics I drew in high school of my friends, and I thought I’d write about some of them and some of the things I noticed.
-There’s a short comic where Brian is holding a bucket and a paintbrush and he says “Oh boy, invisible paint!” Then there’s two blank frames, and then a mushroom cloud, and the comic is over.”
