…Spiderman was molested as a child? Well that sucks.
I wasn’t a huge fan of the antagonist in the first Capt. movie — Red Skull wasn’t much of a threat to our hero boy at all. All he did was flee and even kill his own Hydra high-ranking officers. What I did/do like however is Chris Evans as an actor. This film could be good, not as promising as this parody trailer, but good:
And FYI fangirls & boys, Chris Evans has a 6 film contract so you can count on the Capt. reprising his hero status on-screen again and again and again. Geeks.
Second tutorial of the semester was today. Students introduced one another to the rest of the class. The dude next to me introduced me as “Fin, with one N” and how I was taking another paper with the same lecturer in it. That’s when the tutor’s eyes — Dr Selina Tusitala Marsh, who also happens to be the lecturer — widened and asked if I could read my poem at an upcoming poetry function she was attending soon at a gallery or something. I wasn’t listening. Not use to being the focus of attention so I said yes simply to move on. Yup. Isn’t that funny? My first open reading of poetry will not only be outside of the university curriculum in front of non-students but it will be about that damn whiteboard!
I am excited. I am afraid. I will never look at a whiteboard again the same way.
I’m pretty sure Selina mentioned there will be alcohol, so this might work.
*Sigh* I have to write this off because I don’t know what just happened. I applied to enroll in a course I could not get in simply because I didn’t meet the stage one prerequisites for it. Fine. I applied online for an enrollment concession to take that course and stated my claim in writing. That request was denied. Fine. So I then enrolled in the prerequisite course just so I could get into the actual course I wanted from the start. I went to the student services centre and a girl behind the desk handed me a form to fill out called a ‘concession decision reconsideration’ request form, which meant I could reprieve the department’s decision of denial. I took that form straight to the department of the course I wanted and it was approved and signed by the department’s own HOD, Tim Dare right there and then. Awesome. I took that form back to the student services centre where a different girl behind the desk refused to process my approved application into the fucking course I spent all my energy and time trying to get into FUCK!!!
Just like that, a “no sorry can’t help you” and that was her job, done. Effortless. She was obviously advised by her superiors to decline student concessions at that time, which is funny because the 14th is the official enrollment closing date for this semester. That is two days away, and not ‘that time.’ She consorted with my academic records to double-check I had already applied for a concession. By that point I thought everything would be fine, but she ultimately deduced the workload involved in processing my future with a simple no and a fakeass smile. Moments like these, I really hate conformity.
I have a few images in mind that would go well with this post, but I’ll just embed the music video to the song that was playing on the radio in the student services centre while HOD authority was being discharged by this one hard to please desk biatch.
At least now I have something to channel towards my next sestina poem — Six stanzas of FUCK EFFORT!
The first book was released in 1995, so a fan decided to show us all just how lucky we are to have a show like this today. I have to admit, those authentic VHS tracking lines are pretty neat in a nostalgic way, and Queen’s “I Want it All” is a great mood setter — it certainly makes Hodor look like a sexy beast:
My apologies to Alfie Allen for the misspelled name – and to all the other cast members that didn’t make the video. I would’ve loved to feature Robb and Catelyn, Jorah, Sam, Renly, Stannis, etc. but it was already getting pretty long. ~ Hunterlsanders
I’m not being biased or anything, but what an awesome name Findlay is…
If candy and ice cream had their own food pyramid; I held it in my hands:
Hmmm, I think I’m going to call my tasty abomination the Vanellope Von Schweetz, inspired by her accidental masterpiece of a kart in WRECK IT RALPH:
It tasted exactly the way it looked — Sugarrushtacular! Cheers Ramiri for a good day out. Now, can anyone help me obtain these videogame inspired, Japanese sweets?

Speaking of predicting the future — This ancient Chinese musical instrument, the Sheng, was conceived in 1,100 BC, and the sound it produces can perfectly replicate digital 8-BIT coin-tosses and other synthesized electronic Super Mario Bros. blips, at least that is how talented player, Li-chin Li, has managed to make it sound:
Move over Amy Farrah Fowler, I predict Li-chin Li is going to make Sheldon swoon:
Take a look at the relationship between science fiction and science, as accurately predicted by such visionary authors like Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, Jules Verne, Philip K. Dick, and of course, H.G. Wells. So why does some science fiction do such a good job of predicting the future in the first place? — Learn something new today and start dreaming our world of tomorrow:
Here’s more info on science fiction author Isaac Asimov‘s future predictions, as presented by Cali Lewis and John P. from Geek Beat:
NASA believe that within this century the world will have medical machines capable of regenerating bone and muscle tissue. I have a lot to say on the matter of life imitating art and creativity preceding technology in general, but I’ll just sum this article up in one title — STAR TREK:
