weird things my roomates do (part one of many)




- i wanted to make grilled cheese so i went downstairs and on my way down he's standing at the side of the bottom of the stairs like he's waiting for me to come down and as soon as i'm in eye contact range with him he throws his hands up and is like "i'm back! phew that was a while" then proceeds to talk to me about his life for the entire time i'm making grilled cheese, because he is in there making pasta. so while we're both making food out of nowhere he goes "brb" and runs out the door, a few minutes later the doorbell rings, so i open up the door and he's there, with one arm full of rubbermaid containers and the other arm he's holding a metal helmet with like chain mail attached to it and a face plate. he runs the rubbermaid stuff into the living room and then puts the helmet ON THE KITCHEN TABLE while we're both preparing food. i ask him what the helmet is for and he proceeds to tell me its for his super intensive medieval sparring classes, and how he needs as much metal around his head as he can get when he's fighting 6'4" dudes carrying 9' poles. meanwihle the smoke from all the cooking sets the smoke detector off so the dude starts systematically opening all the windows and doors and starts opening and closing the door over and over again and yelling at the smoke to move out of the house.

- i'm sitting here playing guitar and my amp started making this awful distortion noise out of nowhere, so while i'm trying to fix it i hear a knock on the door, i get the amp to stop, put my guitar down, go to the door, and its him, and he knocked on the door exclusively to tell me "dude, you're supposed to plug a guitar into that, not a blender"

i could not make this stuff up

roflcats

http://www.watchme.tv/e/nyanko2/

ok a few questions i'd like to pose about this video
1. whats with the logo of the movie being a robotic cat alarm clock?
2. what is this movie supposed to be about?
3. are the cats on the same level of intelligence as people in this movie, like the hold jobs and interact in society and stuff?
4. is this a real movie that people made?
5. can i buy this and play it on my dvd player in america?
6. how cute is this little guy?!?



wikipedia didn't even come CLOSE to answering any of these questions and the first two search results are sailor moon related

in the meantime while you're waiting for this mystery to get solved, enjoy this other fine multimedia endeavor involving cats



as well as scope out wikipedia's list of fictional cats, which is so long and detailed its almost impossible to read through, my personal favorite is this

i snapped this picture of the car in front of mine's buffy the vampire slayer window decal. that person clearly wants to say to the world "hey! check it out! i LOVE buffy the vampire slayer." there are somethings i guess i'll never understand.

thanks to this article i've learned that it's possible to use google's document program to publish information to a blog. so this is really just a test run of that, since blogger/blogspot is blocked by my company's firewall. really i don't and won't have the opportunity or even the want to blog from work, but its good to know that its possible.

just so this post doesn't completely lack substance, check out this fucking picture
