Rooster Teeth: Red vs. Blue
Red vs. Blue is probably, collectively, the finest thing on the internet that I have ever seen. Finer than the contemptuous ravings of Yahtzee Croshaw in Zero Punctuation, finer than the hipster tilt to Rock, Paper, Shotgun, finer than the progressive and intellectual angle of Extra Credits - it’s some of the best that the internet has to offer.  I definitely can’t say I remember...

My Clothes
On average, I dress like shit. There was a period late last semester where I kind of woke up and wore the same pair of sweat pants and then a hoodie for anywhere between one and three weeks (I washed them, of course - I’m not a savage). At that point in the semester, I had given up all pretense of dressing well because I noticed that I had lost the will to be aesthetically and...

The Fear in Review: Iniquitous Gravity: Addendum
This is an image of a joke to what I’d say is 99.9% of the student population throughout the world that sees this in the hallway. It’s a joke for me, too, when I saw in high school because the wet floor is Somebody Else’s Problem. Of course, when it’s a wet floor in your house, you start giving a shit because it could be you who slips and breaks your back or your house...

The Fear in Review: Iniquitous Gravity
I was indulging this fear yesterday, so I figured now would be a great time to write about it, since this whole series is mildly therapeutic (or, at least, I hope it is).  So welcome to the … fourth? installment of my fifty part odyssey The Fear in Review. So now that I’ve mislead everybody with the big photo of a film I’ve never actually seen before, I need to point out that...

The Fear in Review: A Stye in My Eye
As Burton Guster once noted, eyes are scary on a psychological level. And by psychological level, I mean I don’t like infected shit being anywhere near my eye. Thus, we segue into the third installment of my fifty part shtick The Fear in Review (title still courtesy of Max). I’m not going to post a picture of a stye because that shit is nasty, but Wikipedia can describe it well: ...

The Fear in Review: The Wrong Trousers
So I figure I have to space these things out, because as fearful of a person as I am, I’m going to run out of custom fears and they’ll eventually become just custom concerns (a jillion points to whoever gets that). Anyway, this brings me to my second installment of my … let’s say fifty …installment… series… The Fear in Review. FUCK, JUST READ ON. So...

Crazy Asian Bitch Ruins Shit for the Rest of Us →
For the most part, I’m a neurotic and miserable train wreck. But, I like to think I turned out pretty okay. This horrible lady is the cause of socially backwards automatons in the Asian-American population. Let me talk about me for a second. My parents are pretty lax - and I don’t even mean in the generic Asian parents sense. They’ve kind of cultivated a style of parenting...

The Fear in Review: Cheeto Fingers
It’s probably about time I started this series (title courtesy of Max); as I noted in one of the Year in Review segments, I really don’t do much for the namesake of this tumblr: custom fears.  Basically, I’m going to go over random things that I’m scared of. Hopefully it’ll be therapeutic or something. Now, “Cheeto Fingers” is merely a term referring...

Slings and Arrows, Part 2
Slings and Arrows is good. I don’t mean “good” as in, it has a number of flaws, but has a few important and shining redeeming qualities. I mean “good” as in “the plots are good, the way the plot develops is good, everything about the characters is good, the pace of show is always even, but never the same, and the show as a whole is exciting, surprising, and...

Up Late: 01/08/11
Yeah, I forgot to do yesterday, but tonight, I stayed awake to discuss news films and shit.  It’s up for debate whether or not it was worth it, but isn’t human interaction always fun?

Up Late: 01/06/11
So, as a measure to goad myself into going to sleep earlier, I’m going to write what the hell I was doing that kept me up into the stupid hours of the morning in an attempt to show my future self how I should go to sleep earlier. This is more or less born from yesterday’s addendum about Slings and Arrows. It’s 2:53 am, and, tonight, I decided to read King Lear up to the fifth...

My Winter Break: Addendum
I stayed up until 3 am to watch Season 2 of Slings and Arrows up to, but not including its final episode.  I’d say it was worth it.

My Winter Break
My winter break is about halfway over, so I might as well do some sort of introspection.  I’ve spent about 4/5ths of my break playing two videos games, Fallout: New Vegas and Minecraft. The remaining fifth has been for sleeping and eating junk food. Somewhere along the way I almost entirely abandoned my project to better myself; I’ve kinda fallen into the groove of the fat...

Jeff Bridges Week: Oldboy
The only legal way I could find a copy of The Big Lebowski was a 30something dollar collector’s edition at some random store, so the final installment of Jeff Bridges Week will once again feature a movie that has nothing to do with Jeff Bridges. It will give you fucking nightmares. The twist is more-or-less predictable and there are a maddening number of plot holes once you finish...
