What to type… what to type…

January 25th, 2009

I don’t remember where I left off but the other day I went to see Underworld 3 with Caitlin. Nick was there too. I had some big league chew. There was not enough Kate Beckinsale in that movie. 5 seconds at the end and that was it.

Blargh I don’t remember what else. I saw How To Lose Friends & Alienate People which for some reason had a lot of people in it. Simon Pegg (!!!) Megan Fox, Gillian Anderson, Kirsten Dunst. It was pretty funny. I would reccommend. I guess theres more but I’m sure it relates to the links I am about to post.

newssss…

http://edition.cnn.com/2009/LIVING/personal/01/23/lw.opposite.sex.friends/index.html — I certainly hope everyone I know finds them selves in a relationship that accepts opposite sex friends. Twould be sad if it wasn’t. As much as I love Pops & Teej I don’t really have any other really good guy friends. Everyone else is a chick. Plus I know a ton of people getting married or close to getting married. Jeeze this could very easily vere off into something totally depressing but I’ll stop here and move on to…

http://www.geekologie.com/2009/01/commercial_hey_kids_wicked_eye.php — …KIDS WITH CRAZY EYEBROWS! Seriously, watch this video. These kids are probably crack babies.

http://io9.com/5138395/could-we-turn-the-earth-into-a-giant-hard-drive — If the world was a giant magnetic harddrive wouldn’t anyone be able to pull information from it from anywhere. It would basically be a giant wikipedia. If you wanted really top secret planet harddrives you would have to go use a distant planet and forbid anyone from going to it.

http://io9.com/5138522/the-man-of-steel-and-braaaaiiinnnsss?skyline=true&s=i — I am uber excited to start reading *Insert Superhero* Zombie comics/graphic novels. I can’t wait. I still have a few books to read before I can start batch ordering all these. WOOT.

Back story! I decided a long long time ago I would take up paint by numbers. I know it sounds stupid but my grandpa used to do it and he was amazing at it. I actually didn’t even know they were paint by numbers until after he passed away and left one unfinished. They look very real. At first I wanted to take it up and learn to be as good as him so I could finish his unfinished piece but now I think I just want to do it to do it. I’ve since decided I also want to learn how to build a ship in a bottle, thanks to Battlestar Galactica and Beth’s dad. Also, I am going to get a Chia Pet. Which leads me into the next story.

http://www.geekologie.com/2009/01/wow_just_wow_chia_obama_heads.php — Don’t worry it probably won’t be a Obama head. Maybe a fox, or a rabbit, or a simple tree or something. Also, I’ll try keeping a bamboo alive again too.

http://homokaasu.org/rasterbator/ — This is definitely something everyone should check out. It take an image and rasterizes it, turning it into a huge huge huge image made of dots. Color or black and white. Then it creates a PDF of every page it takes to print out the giant image then you put them together to basically create a really friggin huge poster. I tried it with a giant forest scene and made it like 150 inches by 50 inches and I tried it with the Chicago skyline at the same size roughly. When I get new ink I might print them out and put them up. It would be wicked crazy to see such a huge image on the wall.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHrhUpAjIYw&feature=related — I bought this game off the Xbox Live Community channel. It was made by some random bunch of people in korea and its actually really fun. It may not look like it but the game makes you go ‘WOAH woah woah holy crrrrraaaaaappppp wooo!” while your playing it. With in the first 30 seconds I was like this seems like fun. I’ll take it. It was only 5 bucks so it wasn’t that bad. Better than 20 bucks for Castle Crashers or 15 for Braid on the official Xbox Live Arcade. I say everyone should atleast go try the trial version of Carnival Showtime.

Also, I wonder if anyone that reads these from the facebook feed knows they come from johnholst.com/blog

Probably not.

So I forget what I did, wait no I remember now, TJ and I went to the mall out of boredom and I got a slightly less brown hoodie with stripes. Why not? I think I realized I’ve become Clark Kent. You know how he always wears red and blue random stuff, well now I just wear brown and black random stuff. Then we watched DEATH RACE BOOOOOM. It was pretty stupidish.

Next day, fast forward ::time travel music insert here::, I went to Buffalo Wild Wings with the old Best Buy people. It was actually pretty cool. We were SHORT one person. <– Like that pun? haha

The other day though, I forgot, I saw Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. Best musical ever. Its short too only 40 mins. Also directed by Josh Whesdon! What the weird. Also, Neil Patrick Harris and blargh just watch it, everyone in the movie is awesome sauce. Theres a link comin up to its hulu.com stream.

http://gusnyc.com/blog/?p=1837 — Obama action figure from Japan. I am scouring the Japan Yahoo Actions and Japan bidding sites for this. I neeeeed it. He comes with a lighsaber, katanas, shotgun, and 9mm’s! How amazing is that??

http://www.i-hacked.com/content/view/274/48/ — Learn how to hack those electronic road signs that say stuff. This guy hacked it to say ZOMBIES AHEAD. Classic.

http://thestupidtimes.blogspot.com/2009/01/obama-to-keep-his-nintendo-ds.html — I’m pretty sure this blog is half joking but it is still hilarious. Obama playing Nintendogs and Cooking Mama.

http://www.hulu.com/watch/28343/dr-horribles-sing-along-blog#s-p1-so-i0 — The entire Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog.  Like 2 ads but its worth it since the movie is crazy good. I didn’t get hooked until like half way through the first 1/3rd so just sit and listen to Neil Patrick Harris for a while it gets awesome.

http://www.amazon.com/Marvel-Zombies-Robert-Kirkman/dp/078512277X — Dave has been telling me to read these for quiet some time and I don’t know why I have been hesitant. But amazon sent me an email this morning telling me Robert Kirkmen wrote for Marvel Zombies. Hes the guy who write The Walking Dead graphic novel so immediately I decided to get the marvel zombie stuff. Suggestion has now been passed on to you… who ever is reading this.

There were so many more stories but I had so many tabs open for 2 days that it crashed my firefox. Stories have been lost to oblivion now. sad panda.

Tab overload

January 20th, 2009

I’ve been keeping interesting things open in tabs for the last few days. I think its about time I update and throw them up here.

Before that though, yesterday was fun times even though it started late. Caitlin and I ran to Cici’s Pizza like 5 minutes before it closed. Yeah we were THOSE D-bags. They had to make pizzas specifically for us. Then when we left the guy was all creepy about it. It felt like he was going to lock us in there and cook us. We got the eff out of there asap and went to the bowling alley because its the only thing open in the middle of the night on a monday. Unfortunetly, we both suck at bowling. And even more unfortunetly, she sucks less than I do >:0 somehow she beat me. It was just my off day.

Also, when I got home I watched Yes, Man. It was pretty awesome. I now vow to say yes to everrrrything. Good thing no one reads these but caitlin and maybe angel so no one can be like go to Canada, John! Anyway, today I went to the office and everyone from the aids clinic was in the office watching the inauguration on our tv. I chose to watch it on hulu with headphones. It was pretty crazy. Star Wars composer man played live. Obama messed up the oath and then raped everyones ears with his speachiness.

I was going to talk about something else but I am hungry now. Goodbye.

Well first off, im bored out of my mind. I played the Pixel Junk Eden demo. I’m glad I finally got a PS3 so I can see all the weird crazy games on PSN that I have been missing. Pixel Junk Eden is nuts. Its like a techno dance trip with flowers and spores. It sounds gay but it’s awesome. Your basically a little dude and you shoot silk out and swing around on plants collecting spores to grow more plants to get higher and higher to collect stuff. Theres bubbles and timers. I dunno how to explain it. Its really cool and I will probably buy the full game soon.  Pixel Junk Eden <–VIDEO

I’ve also been playing Metal Gear 4. I can do pretty good for awhile but towards the end of levels it gets a little hairy and I end up running through the last bit hoping not to die. I could probably go back and do better but the levels are so tedious and long. It is a much different pace than what I normally play so its good to break up the monotony. Also, I’ve been playing alot of Left 4 Dead with Caitlin. Left 4 Dead, a classic staple in any ones gaming que.

Anyway, Amy sucks cause she didn’t come have lunch with me because of “sleep”. Also, she dissapointed me and Kelly by not sledding today and I can’t do it tomorrow and she never hangs out on weekends. >:0

NEWS TIME. It all happens to be about naked stuff and movies.

Pixelated Naked Women. <- Really weird they look like lego women.

Is porn changing the way we kiss??? <- beats me

25 Most Anticipated Movies of 2009 <- I was going to say which ones I wanted to see out of the list but its pretty much all of them but like 6.

13 Cool Movies from Sundance 2009 <- Black Dynomite and Paper Heart woot

Lazy day. I’m going to go watch The Mentalist now.

Amy told me about this movie she saw and I remembered seeing it at Best Buy when I worked there. So now im downloading it. It’s called Wristcutters. Heres the trailer.

Wristcutters: A Love Story - Trailer

Haha now shes telling me about this documentary about a girl who sleeps for a week and when shes awake is totally insane. When did she start watching such cool things? What happened to just watching The Hills, Aims?

This weekend was a thingy at Nicks with the whole gang. It got pretty rowdier than usual. Lots of people trying to yell over eachother and I got sleepy and passed out. Then I kinda milled around the next day. TJ went to a party, forgot to invite me, then in the middle of the night texted me, ‘HEY I should have invited you to this party its totally awesome!’ and so he sucks now. Asshat.

Then on Sunday I hung out with Dave for awhile and helped my Dad rip up the downstairs floor. Later on Cailtin and I played like a bunch of hours of Left 4 Dead with some random people she knew and didn’t know. That was fun. I sacraficed my self for the good of the team a few times.

There was some cool stuff I read this morning half awake. Let me go see if I can refind it.

Well there is this hilarious comic from Cyinide and Happiness I’ve had on my browser waiting to post for like 4 days.

This is slightly old in that I heard about it last week but forgot about it till someone rementioned it on Mashable this week. If you give up 10 friends on Facebook, Burger King will give you a free Whopper. I totally have 10 people in mind on who would go for a Whopper. Now if it was a Wendys meal or something from Wendys I would probably give up 20. I love me some Wendys.

I’m sure I am forgetting something but I can’t seem to find it again so thats all for now.

Oh how complicated

January 10th, 2009

How complicated life has become when a person can update a blog from a phone and have it automatically uploaded to facebook. What’s the world coming to?

I also could be doing this from my ps3 or my laptop right next to me. Blargh I’m hungry.
This is a pointless post. I just wanted to test out this worspress app I got for the iPhone. I’m sure interesting stuff will happen tomorrow.

I haven’t watched either of these yet but I am looking forward to them.

It came before I Am Legend! Old school I know.

It came before I Am Legend! Old school I know.

Couldnt find Zombie Prom the Musical but this looks awesome too.

Couldn't find Zombie Prom the Musical but this looks awesome too.

If the above image doesnt work: http://www.dvdtown.com/images/displaymedia.php?id=24495&sizew=500&cat=3&type=1&page=0

Dance of the Dead.

Anyone wanna watch em lemme know.

Family of Afghan Rape Victim Cut Her Open and Removed Fetus Without Anaesthetic - Pretty much what it says. Its fucking rediculous what people do to their family. Blargh.

Obama Brings Wii To White House - On a lighter note, Obama stupidly bought a Wii for his daughters instead of a 360. Oh well, he’ll learn.

Stiff Sentence For Highway Masterbater - This guy is just stupidly funny. I think he just wanted to see how much shit he could get in trouble for at once.

Powerful Solar Storm Could Shut Down US For Months - Time to get a Prius so I can run my home off my car for cheap, when the power grid goes out. Technically we won’t even get to send letters. We shall effectively be cut off from everyone. We will have to walk everywhere and show up unannounced and we will all ride domestic-dog drawn carriges. It’ll be fun for awhile.

Light Art! - This is definetly worth clicking, this stuff is amazing. I wish I knew how to do that. Actually, thanks to Google I found out in a second. Here, here, and here.

And in closing, Viva Pinata animals are real!!!!

VIVA PINATA

So today I found this hilarious trailer while looking for that video that Rachel had about zombies. I thought it was about prom but it wasn’t. Something better was about zombies and prom. Zombie Prom the musical! Zombie Prom Trailer!

Go watch it its sauceome. Also, my boss got me my christmas bonus. Which was a second 360. It’s Elite so im ballin’ now. I have a crappy Wii, two 360’s and a PS3. So random.

And today I am randomly going bowling when I expected to sit down and fix my PS3 internet issue.

Issue sounds like tissue. Maybe cause its one letter off. Ok time to brush my teef.
