MarioKart Has Infected My Brain

You know it's a problem when you ride your bike to school in the morning and see this:


And you're shocked when you don't get a boost in speed after running over the arrow.

DAMNIT!!! Can I at least have a red shell for that stupid car in the bike lane!?!

I'm pathetic

My laptop died over the weekend. I took it to the repair shop on Monday, they said they will have a diagnosis (not fixed, just a diagnosis) by Friday. While it is entirely frustrating to wait that long, I'm more concerned with the fact that I can't function without my laptop anymore. At school, I've been using a general lab computer, and it sucks because I'm not at my desk and I'm in the middle of a heavy traffic area. At home, I had to unhook my desktop from my television, to an old school monitor so I can actually get some work done. I'm helpless.

Colbert Report: Herpes and Beer Pong

Wow. I remember once in grade school, I had to do a little reenactment of some Aztec sacrifice in front of the class with some classmates. It was really stupid, we didn't know what we were doing, and I couldn't keep a straight face during a supposedly serious ritual. That's why I can always tell the really good actors on SNL by the ones who don't break character no matter how ridiculous their characters are (see Walken and Farrell vs Fallon and Sans in the famous More Cowbell sketch). That's one of the reasons that Steve Carell is so good as Michael in 'The Office,' even to the point that it becomes painful. 4 nights a week though, you see it in Steven Colbert's performance in the Colbert Report. No better example than last night.
