The Lumberjack Nerd

Ugh.

Some people disgust me.

For example, take the Lumberjack Nerd.

For the past three days, I have seen this guy in the Comfy Lounge doing work periodically throughout the day.

His ensemble consists of bright red and black sneakers, black dressy socks pulled up as high as possible, a red swimsuit/hot pants combination, a white t-shirt, and a woolen plaid jacket. So, yeah. He looks ridiculous, first off. His top is all puffy and bundled, and then he practically isn’t wearing pants.

But that isn’t the worst part. The worst part is that he has earned the name Lumberjack Nerd because he has been wearing this rather distinctive outfit for the past three days. Three days! How can someone function in society without showering or changing clothes for that long? By that time, your odour must be so repugnant that your friends would rather shoot you in the face than get within twenty feet of you.

It disgusts me.

Of course, the fact that he is both annoying and loud doesn’t help either. I understand that people have conversations in the Comfy while working and whatnot, but making noise for noise’s sake is ridiculous.

Seminar Week

Oh. Hey.

Totally forgot to tell everyone.

Next week is the Canadian Mathematics Competition Seminar Week here at the University, and I am one of the four students acting as a Residence Don while those kids are staying in Renison College. All the students coming are people who had excellent scores on their Math Contests earlier in the year, and they will be spending a week here taking various math courses of interest. However, they will also have a lot of extra-curricular activities going on as well.

So, next week, I’ll be practically unavailable in all capacities. I’ll be operating as a Residence Don, but I will practically be ‘on call’ all the time. I’m just glad the schedule works out so that I am able to write my two midterms on Tuesday without conflicting with time that I should be watching these kids.

Anyway, yeah. My contact information will be invalid during that week, because I wont be living in my apartment, but at Renison. More information to follow.

Huh…That Was Bizarre

I was just approached by two gentlemen asking me if I was interested in participating in some sort of back and forth dialogue regarding the Campus Crusade for Christ.

Out of the 16 people in the Comfy Lounge, they - for whatever reason - singled me out.

As an atheist, I was not interested.

BTTF WTF?

From Facebook:

[Bravado] has never seen back to the future. 12m ago

YOU WHAT?

You die. Now.

Resident Evil 5 (More)

New video is out.

Watch it.

Features some more of his new sidekick. Oh, and word on the street is that blonde chick seen in other videos might be Sherry Birkin from Resident Evil 2. I guess since 5 or 6 years have passed, she has had the opportunity to grow up a bit.

Also, is it me, or do those villagers infested with parasites have very Predator-esque face flaps?

Great Scot (This is Heavy)

Apparently, some Universal Studios sets in LA have been damaged by a huge fire. Among the property damages is the King Kong tram ride and - more importantly - the Courthouse Square from Back to the Future.

Fortunately, the Courthouse was not destroyed, but merely damaged. That would have been an artifact of eighties cinema completely obliterated.
