Sweet!
I'm flying home tomorrow, so things will be slow for awhile. Well, even slower than usual if we're being honest. :)

Monday AMV
I watched Gun Sword this weekend.
At least, the first part of it. I didn't realize it was a mech anime, and I'm not a fan of big, giant robots.
Except, of course, for Evangelion. But they're big, giant robots made sense, and it was mostly about people going insane anyway.

Bad Week
Hmm, what to do when something rather important at work goes up in a big flaming ball of awfulness.
Watch a show about people's who typical work day sucks even worse.
I wonder how long the dude in number 4 had to stand in front of a fan for the dramatic wind affect.
Gah, now I have that song totally stuck in my head.
Let's see. Who else could be having a bad day at work?
Random security goons on Noir.
Berserk voice actors?

Monday AMV
Over the weekend I saw XXX-holic for the first time. Its seems to be ghost stories featuring "the dimensional witch"
It was some interesting, weird stuff.
I love the art. Everyone is so elongated. It reminds me of the wierdness bridging the Renaissance and the Baroque. Mannerism?
Man, its been way too long since Art History.

Pop Quiz!
I've developed a reputation at work as being "the religious one." Which is interesting since I can think of two of my coworkers who've been there longer than I have, who are very devout to their particular religions, and who could easily best me at any trivia involving the Bible.
Maybe I'm just more noisy about it.
Anyway, one of my coworkers called and asked me to name off the ten commandments.
"What?" was my exact response.
"Well you know them right?"
I wasn't sure I did actually. "Off the top of my head?" I asked, stalling for time.
Turns out they were trying to think of the ten commandments and could only come up with nine. So I started naming off commandments and, luckily, hit the one they were missing at number 2.
Can you do it?
List the 10 commandments. Right now.
No peeking, No cheating, No Googling.
GO!!

Medieval Times
Saturday I went with a group of friends into Maryland to go to Medieval Times. Its a massive restaurant designed like a castle with an inside arena. Based on the order you arrive, you are given a colored crown and a number. (They look like Burger King crowns.) We had red and yellow crowns, so we sat in the red and yellow section, and were told that our knight was the red and yellow knight. To our right sat the green knight section. The green knight was our immortal enemy and we were to boo him at every opportunity. Since he ended up riding past us quite a bit we booed him with gusto and he sneered back. He sneered well.
The yellow knight section, seated across and up from us, was filled with soccer hooligans. Or perhaps they spent the hour wait at the bar (you get there an hour early so you can shop and look at their stuff), or perhaps both, because they screamed and hollared and had a chant of "Blue Sucks!" going for at least 5 minutes. They also got chastised by security a couple of times. Watching the yellow section was almost as entertaining as the show itself.
You are served several courses, all of which you eat with your hands. We got Tomato Bisque in a bowl with a handle, garlic bread (aka Texas Toast), 1/2 a small chicken, a pork rib, (seriously, a single rib) an herb roasted potato, and an apple tart.
While you eat there's a story, they have the horses do all kinds of cool tricks, bows, dances that sort of thing. They had a falconer, which was awesome, and the knights did all kinds of tricks. They grabbed flags from the ground, threw them to each other, threw lances at a target, grabbed tiny rings with their lances, all kinds of funness.
Our knight, the red and yellow knight, also known as The Stealth Knight, which apparently won out over Sir Baby-Face, or Sir Sucks-a-Lot (our knight died in the first joust, the only knight without a single win. We had to content ourselves with cheering for whoever killed his killer, and booing the Green Knight.)
It was a lot of fun. The Princess was annoying, but whenever she was talking there was a pink light, so you could ignore her and focus on tearing apart your chicken by hand.
I also bought a mango slushy in an awesome looking black glass.

Assassin Fashion
An assassin in white? I'm not sure I approve.
All kidding aside, this game looks amazing. The graphics are beautiful.

School and Yankees
| I have a class every day through Wednesday this week. Its a good class, but 8 hours of focused training a day can be really draining. The instructor is from Mississippi and in an effort to keep us awake and paying attention, he occasionally attempts to teach us proper English. Cuz even though we all live in Virginia, we might as well be Yankees since we can't talk right. Perhaps the most useful lesson has been that you can pretty much say what you want about someone as log as you tack a "bless their heart" on the end of it. We've been split into teams, and my team amuses ourselves by changing our name constantly. It started when we couldn't agree on a name, so we changed it, but now its become a running joke. We wait for when the instructor is away, or not paying attention, and then steal the paper with all the teams on it, and change our name. My favorite so far have been Team Flip Up Chasing Waterfalls Freak-a-Leaks The Team Formerly Knows as Freak-a-Leaks |

Since I've been watching SYTYCD instead of blogging, I thought it only fair I post a highlight from the show.
Its awesomely bad.

Morning?
I have been staying up way too late to watch SYTYCD, otherwise I'm sure this post would be much more witty. Hope everyone had a good holiday. Between that and overtime I haven't been around much. Enjoy pondering the following clip.
Watch Human Piano Fur Elise on CollegeHumor

Busch Gardens
Saturday I went to Busch Gardens with some friends from work. They have a drop coaster there called the Griffon. It has three rows, 10 across, and they take you up to about 250 feet, dangle you over a 90 degree drop, and then just let you hang there for a bit. Its hard to describe what this feels like, but according to the girl next to me, it sounds like this:
ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshOHMYGOSH
And then you drop.
It was pure awesome. I went on it three times.
There are bootlegs of the ride on youtube, I liked this one best:

Monday AMV
Ergh. I've had a headache I just can't shake for two days now. I was going to go to Krav tonight, but with my luck it would be sparring practice and I would get hit in the head repeatedly.
So instead I'm at home watching X-files.
Hmm, what anime could possibly encompass this never ending head pain?
Evagelion.

VA Allergies
Two weeks of constant rain have increased mold, and when its not raining the tree pollen levels are off the charts creating a perfect storm of allergens. A lot of people are sick. Even Benedryl hasn't been powerful enough to stop my hay fever. Tuesday night I was so congested I couldn't take the pressure lying down, so I formed my pillows into a sort-of pillow chair and slept on an incline.
Which worked great until about 2:30. That's when one of the key load-bearing pillows gave out, sending the whole structure crashing down and my head bounced off the mattress with a soft "DONK." I spent the next half hour engineering another pillow chair with a less dramatic incline. Which gave me about two hours to doze until I had to get up.
Today however, I found an upside to my allergies. Someone in the lab was working on something particularly odoriferous. You could follow its progress through the lab by the choking, gagging scientists left in its wake.
Except me.
Didn't smell a blessed thing all day long.
Hee hee hee.
