Little Red Riding Hood.

A few days ago I posted a modern rendition of Goldie Locks, so I am now following it up with another classic re-make: Little Red Riding Hood:

Blue Team

Catlin Gabel Mock Trial Team Blue will be going to the States. After a strenuous and testing day at regionals in which both Team Blue and White did very well, Team Blue placed fourth, allowing them to move on to the next level along with Lincoln and St. Mary's. The competition will use the same court case, so they are already prepared, but you can be sure that won't stop Eli from and Leah from pushing full force the coming two weeks or so prior to the State Competition. Many people on the White Team expressed their joy and congrats to the Blue Team, but in secret, it was a rather unanimous agreement that though we were happy for them, we would not want to be in their place. For us, Mock Trial is over. We can breath again.

The Pickled Czar

What would you be willing to do? And let the evidence show that nothing could be done. And understand that this was known by the aides well in advance. Apparently they gave the command, but she paid them to say it, you can tell. There's just that look in here eye; especially the third one, right above her nose. And Marx supplied the explanation: that capitalism causes despair. Unfortunately, so does revolution. The poor Czar, he didn't even know until it was too late, he was stuck in a pickle, stuck in a jam; well he was stuck from the very beginning.

Slow

I apologize(?) for the drastic decline in posts recently. It's not that I've lost interest, I haven't; it is simply that I really have very little to write about. Class trip today. SYC Regatta coming up. Chaucer day coming up. Mock Trial dress rehersal for the final competition on Saturday. What's up with you? I want to know what you're up to and how life is treating you.

Prof. Pic.

My photos have been used as a Facebook Profile Picture 30+ times as of this evening. Can I start charging for this?

RJD2, Let There Be Horns

How did I not know about this? RJD2's new piece, Let There Be Horns, from his new album The Colossus, is reverting back to his classic style. After his most recent and rather disappointing album The Second Hand, RJD2 appears to have dropped the pop-attempt and return to what he knows best. The video is detracting of the music itself, so I recommend you hit play and let the music go as you read on down the blog. If you do decide to watch the video, try to catch his cameo performance. Listen to some other of his new pieces on his MySpace page, but if you really want to hear him at his best, listen to one of his original albums, preferably Deadringer. Anyway, enjoy:

Around The World (Wide Web), A Portraiture

Blog exploration. Found a plethora of photos. Posted are only a few of the more appropriate.

I Don't Even Like Asics

But this is pretty wicked, regardless:

Yesterday's Diet

I ate a pack of M&Ms, two Reeces, Cinnamon Pop Tarts, half of a chocolate muffin, some peanut butter, a Tasty-Cake, and a hot chocolate with one ton of whipped cream on top. Its cool though, I balanced it out with a bite of Hannah's apple.

View Counter

According to the infamously unreliable Flickr view counter, my photos now have over 2,000 views. The accuracy is debatable, but its impressive none-the-less.

Blogger Demographic

Okay, I don't really know who you are or what demographic you fit into, and let's not talk about me (for once) and what demographic I fit in, but I was hitting the "Next Blog" button up on that top dash board bar, and this is roughly what I found:

> Alot of single asian chicks bitching about everything.

> Alot of house wives who devote their entire blogs to pictures of their children.

> Alot of lonely old men in midwestern US droning on about politics they know nothing about.

> Occasionally there's a blog with some original photography, writing, and interesting videos, and a few links here and there. Not that I'm biased to this type of blog or anything.

Dopest Apartment

After reading this, who doesn't want to live in an apartment?!

Legitimate Craigslisting:

$500 HOLY CRAP! IS THAT A ROOM FOR RENT ON MY CRAIGSLIST??!?!?!?

You bet your nomadic ass it is. Do you want to be homeless? Then you better come check this room for rent out. It has WALLS and a CEILING. BLOCKS THE FUCKIN WIND AND RAIN FOOL!

ZOMG THE LOCATION IS THE SHIT. You can WALK to Washington Avenue from here. So you can get your drink on and do some mackin playa. 10 mins from UH and Rice cause we all about higher education up in here. You could hit Memorial Parkway with a ROCK. But don't. We keep it civilized.

We got carpet up in this hoe too. They wanted to come put in hard wood floors. But I was like FUCK THAT. I don't want my feet to be cold when I get out of bed at night. Carpet. So soft. Transcends the walking barefoot experience.

Man the room... You can put your bed and furniture UP IN HERE!!!! So you can sleep, chill, even EAT. You got a private bedroom! We ain't bunk bedding out this motherfucker.

AWWW SHIT! YOUR OWN PRIVATE BATHROOM!!!! WTF!?!?!? YUH! You can shower and take a shit w/o anyone being up in your business!!! I'm not bullshittin either... I'm talking HOT WATER IN THE SHOWER.

We got ELECTRICITY. POWER ALL YOUR APPLIANCES. Play my XBox360 because I never do. No need for candles or firewood, because I got LIGHTS and HEAT.

-this pad has doors so people don't come up in yo space son
-this place has windows so you can see outside and shit. WHATSUP NEIGHBORS!
-tennis courts, 2 pools, parking garage, a park in the back, brand new gym so you can get swoll. Sand volleyball court WHAT!

Cool(?)

While we're on the topic of cool things, 'cuz that's the topic of my entire blog, I'd like to introduce you to a cool video:

BIRDY NAM NAM - THE PARACHUTE ENDING from Steve Scott on Vimeo.

Recitation

1: Whan that aprill with his shoures soote
2: The droghte of march hath perced to the roote,
3: And bathed every veyne in swich licour
4: Of which vertu engendred is the flour;
5: Whan zephirus eek with his sweete breeth
6: Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
7: Tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
8: Hath in the ram his halve cours yronne,
9: And smale foweles maken melodye,
10: That slepen al the nyght with open ye
11: (so priketh hem nature in hir corages);
12: Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,
13: And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes,
14: To ferne halwes, kowthe in sondry londes;
15: And specially from every shires ende
16: Of engelond to caunterbury they wende,
17: The hooly blisful martir for to seke,
18: That hem hath holpen whan that they were seeke.

Why?

"A Swiss freediver held his breath underwater for 19 minutes and 21 seconds..." WHAT?! Why would you ever do that? "There may be long-lasting health consequences to extreme breath-holding" NO SHIT! Death?
