ah technology

today Mike bought a digital scale so that we could all know what none of us even want to know, how much we weigh [not collectively, mind you]. so when we got back we sat down in the kitchen and Mike starting trying to turn it on, but at first he ignored the instructions. after getting frustrated with it, he called me over. so i grabbed the instructions and followed them. same results. stupid blinked LCD display saying "erase?" and if you click "no" it goes back to "erase?" then when you click "yes" it resets completly and you have to reprogram it, but as soon as you weigh yourself and watch the dancing squares [or were they circles?]… IT RESETS and goes back to "erase?". after a couple rounds of this… we got mad. i threatened to drop kick it.

now we have something to do tomorrow. return the scale. and the shirt i got overcharged for.

splat: part 2

Saturday night we were hanging out in the living room. Aussie Matt was lying on the air mattress. and my devil horns started to show, i decided it would be funny to jump onto the air mattress and send him flying [as i had so often done to Mike]. damn did that backfire! somehow i ended up bouncing off the air mattress, flipped into the air, and rolled over. again.

 

yesterday me and Mike were cramming a mattress into Mollie’s car, into the backseat. afterwards the 3 of us were to get into the car and drive down to the hostel for a BBQ. there was barely room in the backseat. i’m talking skinny person profile view, or less. and Mike looked at me and he was like "where are you going to sit" i pointed at the back and said "right there beside the mattress" and with that i stretched and proceeded to twist and cram myself into their with little effort. we didn’t even push the front seat forward [its a 2 door car]. and then i had to get out to go back into the house. when it came time to leave, Mollie looked at the car, looked at me, and said the same thing that Mike had said. so again, i crammed myself into there… and survived the whole car ride.

this is what happens when you play ALOT of tetris. hell, i’ve never even taken yoga lessons and i am barely flexible, yet i can manage to squeeze myself into tiny spaces.

Mike was pumping up the airmattress [our temporary couch, well until Monday anyways] because it was badly deflated, so much so that when i first sat down on it beforehand, my ass hit the floor. my ass was not a happy ass after that. so after he finished i decided to test out if it was full enough, so i jumped onto it. but i bounced up, rolled over and flew off and hit the floor and made a huge THUD noise! it was quite funny. there was too much air.

 

kitchen story:

i fail at using a toaster oven. second day in a row i burnt something in there, something simple like an eggo or a piece of bread. and both times i actually managed to set off the damn smoke alarm!!!

how the HELL can i fail at toasting?!

 

well seeing as i am a movie buff and bored:

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?

So, here’s how it works:

1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that’s playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button

headboards=ow

so last night i was sitting on my bed cross-legged and talking to Mike, i got lazy and decided to lie down. i had just sat on my bed and not thought about were on the bed my ass was, so as i leaned back, because i was higher up on the bed [closer to the headboard]… i SMACKED my head really hard on the headboard. right on the top back part of my head! i grabbed my head, screamed and curled up in fetal position, giggling and moaning in pain.

i went downstairs to get some ice to put on my head. but we have no ice, not even an ice tray. so i had to settle for a bag of frozen perogies. while i was downstairs the other roommate was there and i told her that i had hit my head and she was like "OMG i heard that, that was your head?!", more laughter, and even more when i came back upstairs and told Mike. then i sat there on my bed, balancing a bag of frozen perogies on my head. my head had already started hurting near my eyes from the kitchen light incident, this was NOT helping. but aspirins did.

ooh but the laughter did not stop there. we got to talking about the projector and how we have to get it up on the ceiling soon. the problem is that we have the PS2 and Wii connected to the projector, so they would either have to go up there with it, or we would have to get longer cables. we started laughing about if we had the systems up there, you would have to climb up a step-ladder just to change the game, LMAO. ooh but it got funnier, because then i was like, wait? won’t the controllers be hanging down [i don’t have wireless PS2 controllers and 2 of the GameCube controllers are also not wireless]… which led to the guitar from Guitar Hero. that was when we cracked and just could not stop laughing. every time one stopped, the other started. and then, right at the moment of weakness, all i said was: DDR. roaring laughter. i sit here writing this now, laughing.

i am going to end up with abs of steel.
