Well, Amanda for 20 months, Mariellen since the 15 minutes I saw her at Rob's over Christmas break (good times). Amanda brought her friend, and Mariellen brought her boyfriend <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30110262&id=1091370058&comments#/photo.php?pid=30078735&id=1091370058&comments">Jordan</a> from <a href="http://centre.edu/">Centre</a> (whose name Amanda failed to remember the whole night). I found out a few things:<br /><br />1) I need to hang out with those two more often. You know, when they're not working or at camp.<br />2) The name "water ice" is stupid.<br /><br />Jordan brought it up when he asked "What's...<span style="font-style: italic;">water ice</span>?" and I thought it was a ridiculous question. Until I realized that I had asked the exact same thing the first time I heard it and just adjusted to the state cuisine.<br /><br />How can something be water AND ice? It's Italian Ice. Which again, the Italians didn't invent ice, but it's a more conventional and logical name than water ice. First of all, it's more of a slush than ice, but certainly not water. Second, the flavoring isn't water, it's flavoring. It comes in mango, vanilla, cherry (with pits), Alex's Lemonade (which <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30110262&id=1091370058&comments#/photo.php?pid=30245574&id=1091370116">Alyson</a> still needs to steal for me), and tons of others. But it's not both water and ice. If anything, it should be called "flavored slush in a cup."<br /><br />But I don't think that would sell as well.Alexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01329901675723100321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2764272832945512232.post-14114640299336928872009-06-04T17:45:00.000-07:002009-06-04T17:50:42.116-07:00College, As Defined by Sheldon<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NTBXZ_gXArc/SihrwZx3bmI/AAAAAAAAAPI/yr-jieimQnU/s1600-h/Picture+1.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 177px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NTBXZ_gXArc/SihrwZx3bmI/AAAAAAAAAPI/yr-jieimQnU/s320/Picture+1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343639437173026402" border="0" /></a>In my quest to watch as much Big Bang Theory as possible, I've come across perhaps the best characterization of college parties I've ever seen on a television show.

But anyway. My modest opinion is this: Radiohead should totally bust out a ukulele on the next CD.<br /><br />But seriously.<br /><br />Radiohead is one of the most experimental bands out there. They got the USC Marching Band to back them up at the Grammy's on "15 Step," which very few can get away with and still be awesome. You can hear them in the <a href="http://yourmomisgorges.blogspot.com/2009/05/hey-thats-mtv-background-music.html">background</a> of a lot of MTV shows, and in the Pretty Brit music spectrum, they fall to the far left of Coldplay (which gained some ground in the experimenting with the "Viva La Vida" album, which employed Radiohead producer Brian Eno to get there).<br /><br />So it seems only natural that at some point, Thom Yorke would pick up a ukulele and go to town, and make all of the rest of alternative music wonder why they hadn't thought of doing it themselves. As motivation for Yorke to do this? I give you this dude, in one of the few "Creep" cover attempts.<br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fr7Q14ugIGw&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fr7Q14ugIGw&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object>Alexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01329901675723100321noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2764272832945512232.post-15406451318840687732009-05-25T13:50:00.001-07:002009-05-25T13:56:00.186-07:00The Somali Booty Call<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NTBXZ_gXArc/ShsElCgvH7I/AAAAAAAAAPA/mbsnJhDKm2g/s1600-h/Picture+1.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 190px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NTBXZ_gXArc/ShsElCgvH7I/AAAAAAAAAPA/mbsnJhDKm2g/s320/Picture+1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339866817553702834" border="0" /></a>Again, news sites of the world. Keep an eye on your headlines, because they don't mean what you think they might. Kanye West did not get a <a href="http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b105002_kanye_west_charged_lax_pap_smear.html?sid=rss_topstories&utm_source=eonline&utm_medium=rssfeeds&utm_campaign=rss_topstories">Pap Smear</a>, he actually beat up a photographer.<br /><br />Just the same, I'm pretty sure the Somali pirates didn't make a booty call. I know that "booty" also means loot, and if you're a pirate, you're known to get booty. But this does not imply, as the BBC News Service did, that they made a <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=booty+call">booty call</a>.<br /><br />Get it right, guys. I'll let it slide because this is the BBC, and because this slip makes sense. E!Online, however, is not forgiven for the pap smear headline. If for no other reason, they made me look up these entries of what "<a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pap+smear">pap smear</a>" means on Urban Dictionary.

Tonight was one of those nights.<br /><br />Corinne and I decided to go to <a href="http://www.woodsidefarmcreamery.com/">Woodside Creamery</a>, because we were craving ice cream (and because it's arguably the best in the area, because they make their own from the milk from the cows they keep on the same farm). So we grabbed her two friends that were helping her with her project and drove over. The line wasn't too bad, and we got our ice cream pretty quick. I even ran into Mary while I was there.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://delaware.metromix.com/content_image/thumbnail/3x4/180/1073069"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 266px;" src="http://delaware.metromix.com/content_image/thumbnail/3x4/180/1073069" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />We then see the Mill Creek Ambulance and the emergency services truck pull up one right after the other to the gravel driveway. We start looking around for a crowd of people, or some sort of emergency. Was there a fire? Car accident? Had someone had a heart attack, or started seizing? The sirens weren't on, what was going on?<br /><br />No. The paramedics just had a case of the munchies, and took a field trip—in the ambulance, with emergency services truck in tow—to go get some ice cream. There are probably hundreds of emergencies around the area, like kids celebrating the end of finals at UD with some good old fashioned alcohol poisoning, and the paramedics are here at Woodside getting some peppermint chocolate chip.<br /><br />Ah, Delaware.

It's an odd feeling, really. I never want to go to work, but once I get there, I'm good. The people are nice (I was working with Cassandra, Whitney, Holly, Ryann, Brian, and Edna) and it wasn't too fast or slow.<br /><br />But then a roach showed up.<br /><br />I hear squealing from Ryann and Holly and think it's a spider. I was fully ready to step on the thing until I look over the counter and see this huge ass roach taking a stroll by register 13.<br /><br />"Don't step on it, it'll crunch!" Holly says, backing away. She grabbed a hard tag Tupperware holder and put that over top, then slid a sale poster underneath to trap it. She tried to pick it up, but that didn't work out so well and ended with more squealing. They called Rito up and he just laughed, picked the roach holder up, and walked out the front door to set him free into the wild of the parking lot.<br /><br />I bet that roach ended up in AC Moore 20 minutes later.Alexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01329901675723100321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2764272832945512232.post-81091800053668687852009-05-16T11:32:00.001-07:002009-05-16T11:32:25.975-07:00St. Marks won, 11-10, with 7 penalty shots..

Turns out that I've heard it a million times before and loved it, but never knew it was Radiohead.<br /><br />It's been in the background of every other episode of <span style="font-style: italic;">True Life</span> that MTV has made.
