Sweet Catastrophe

Kristi has taken to regularly watching…*gasp* American Idol. Not only that, she’s even blogged about it!

I understand that she likes one of the contestants; he’s good, but I think she’d be better off just watching his performances on YouTube.

I’ve tried talking to her, but she’s just not coming to her senses. Is there a drug treatment center for American Idol addicts, because I think addiction is where she’s headed and I don’t know what to do to save her! The television gods are going to smite a good show as punishment for her watching this mess!

I think maybe The Office should add another night to its schedule to offset her desire to watch this…

I was watching a video on YouTube one night, and in the video responses, I saw a video entitled “Rick Rolled.”

It was obvious this video had nothing to do with the one I was currently watching, but I was intrigued nonetheless.

What I found was something part of an apparent internet fad I somehow missed out on. Were you guys familiar with this?

“Rick Rolling” is linking a person to a video of Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up.” The trick is disguising the link so that the person doesn’t know that’s where it leads. The ‘rules’ are that you must watch the video in its entirety.

The more interesting version is a website that plays the video. Upon entering the site, your window dances around the screen before settling. If you try to navigate away, you’re greeted with information boxes containing the lyrics line by line. Ctrl+Alt+Del is your best method to get out. You can see it here, but remember, I warned you!

There are also a ton of variations and edits around YouTube if you just search for a minute. Some of them are pretty hilarious.

So am I the only one behind here?

I`m blogging on my wii! Does it get dorkier?

FadedJade23 (1:23:48 AM): it was a very astute connection

FadedJade23 (1:23:56 AM): but i did a bit of a double take

kriSti m 14 (1:24:50 AM): astute ay??

FadedJade23 (1:24:11 AM): i’m verbose tonight, hush

kriSti m 14 (1:25:47 AM): sorry, you just discombobulated my sense of familiarity in the context of the conversations we undertake

FadedJade23 (1:25:09 AM): o0o0o0o0o0o0o

kriSti m 14 (1:26:07 AM):

FadedJade23 (1:25:19 AM): <3

This is the email I just received with the subject line: Your life is about to change

The line, “You’ve received this letter because you are employed at Dunder Mifflin Infinity.” follows it and makes me giggle! I love, “Stay with us long enough and you’ll want to be committed, too.”

This is from www.dundermifflininfinity.com, something Kristi and I are getting into. Most everything is “Coming Soon” at the moment, but I’m looking forward to some internet greatness!! Something’s supposed to be going on tomorrow, so we’ll see what gets updated!

Come join us! We’re in the Macon, Ga branch! You can put in Kristi’s manager code (65ghqfeqdg ) and hopefully she can be our manager!

–I’d make my Krizlet’s Birthday absolutely amazing!

For breakfast, I’d have Zac Efron bring her waffles and chocolate milk in bed, and wake her with some Link-like singing. (Of course, I’d come knock on her window first, and give her fair warning so she could be all cute before he got there!)

Then we’d head to Best Buy to load up on all her favorite series’ on DVD, so she could safely clear her TiVo…Can you buy more memory for TiVo? We’d probably get that too. Of course, we’d pull all the regular movies she wanted too, before heading over to buy new iPods, and backup iPods, and really big iTunes gift cards for lots of legal downloads =) I mean, we don’t need the FBI busting down Kristi’s door! Then we’d need some amazing computer gadgets–the biggest external harddrive available to hold all her media, and a second one as a just in case backup! Of course we’d get the biggest/best monitor available to avoid straining my Krizlet’s eyes!

Hmm, I think I’d have to let her pick our lunch stop, but either way, the cast of The Office would meet us there, in character! Every quote request would be fulfilled! Then off to Krizzle’s Office Themed afternoon party! Complete with Karaoke!

Finally, Jim would drop us off in an undisclosed location where every worthy Lifeho would be present for a joint Lifehouse-Andrew McMahon concert! We’d take lots of pictures, to rub in the faces of those undesirables We’d rock into the night, shouting requests, and demanding an intermission to chow down!

We’d probably end the evening with some DDR at our Lifeho sleepover….in the presidential suite of the nicest hotel in our undisclosed location. Room Service anyone? And discussions of what we’d do NEXT year for the Great and Powerful Kriz’s Birthday!

Happy Birthday Kristi! One day I’ll give you the world on your Birthday, but I gotta win the lottery first!

OMG! Pirates go to an ELEVEN! Pirates FTW!

Haha! I found that video in a list of Ask Cap’n Slappy questions, along with this thought:

Besides, the fact remains that Pirates and Ninjas have an evil enemy which will require them to join forces to stave off the madness that this enemy intends to inflict upon us all!

“Who be this ruthless force for wickedness in the universe?” ye may ask.

Clowns. They must be stopped!

It’s International Talk Like a Pirate Day, in case you didn’t know = P It all started with a couple of guys playing racquetball and somehow ended up here!

Visit the official site to play pirate games, and get pirate advice, and play around with the pirate translator. It’s the least you could do on this holiday! Have some respect, kids!!

Maybe I should go back to the dollar theater and drool over Will Turner some more. I mean, it’s pretty much my duty to do so on this beloved holiday, don’t you think? I wonder if we can find some reason to get Josh to dress up tonight. It’s strike night at the theatre though, so I don’t know if there will be much time for piratey fun tonight. We’ll see

I’ll be all t’ pirate I can be today. Now where’s me rum?

…and counting. *sigh* This Page Rank Export List History reports the longest wait between PR updates has been 122 days. We’re at 144 days now. It’s generally every 3 months. WTH is going on?

This blog has no PR because I bought my domain shortly after the last update. I’ve been anxiously patiently waiting for the next update, but now I’m starting to get really frustrated!

I’ve been working really hard to achieve a respectable PR. I’m really happy with my Alexa Score! I’ve always been into blogging, but I’ve developed into what I call a semi-pro blogger. At this point, it’s become important to me to have decent rankings. I’m not expecting anything miraculous, I know I’ve got a pretty basic blog, but I’ve worked for what I’ve got, and I’m feeling cheated *pout*

The longer they wait, the more I start buying into all the theories that Google is doing away with PR. I’d be pretty pissed if I had to start from scratch on some different aspect to get a decent ranking. And I’d really like to know what kind of ranking my work has earned me!

I just wanna know, dammit!

I’d be lying if my desires had nothing to do with making money. In the PPP world, my old LJ somehow has a PR 3. So of course, I see opps available for PR 3s. Any idea how annoying that is? I just want a PR3….or a way to delete that damn blog from the PPP system…someone end the frustrations, please!

…by the dark side!! I won the Darth Vader USB Flash Drive!! The link hasn’t even come through yet, but I’ve been checking the blog like crazy for the winning announcement! It works out perfectly too, since it should be here by the time I get back from Oklahoma, so I won’t be here to anxiously check the mail every day!

I’m waiting to hear back from them about where they’re actually ordering from, so I can send money to add the hoodie (protective cover/keychain) if they’re ordering from somewhere that offers it. If not, I’ll have to pay a little extra later, but I definitely wanna get the hoodie.

Let’s hope this is a sign of a great week to come!

Ah! There’s another one!!! This one’s Darth Vader. I could definitely go for Darth! I’m not sure whether or not this one comes with a Protohoodie though. I’m sure I could find one. This one is being given away by Enwikopedia. Oh my geek-cup runneth over with cool things I need! Gah!

Info for their contest can be found on their blog.
