Have Mercy
10 Stiche dollars go to the first person to answer who I saw last night give a speech on campus from the VIP section.

I Am Burning Lava
Whenever I'm struggling in the library and need a break from whatever I'm doing and happen to have a computer, I try my best to distract myself. It usually depends on what sort of mood I'm in, but common places I go to kill time are music websites, this blog, and wikipedia (good god, I've killed so much time on wikipedia.)
Anyways, today I decided to use good ol' google and type in the first thing that comes to mind and see where it takes me.
The first thing I did was see how the various ways of spelling "boo" result in different numbers of results.
boo - 42 million results
booo - 2.8 million results
boooo - 700,000 results
boooooooooo- over 72,000 results.
Anyways, I gave up on that and I wanted to see what the urban dictionary was to "goddamnit" and I was pleasantly surprised.

last word of every sentence. usually adds authority.
Instead of saying "alright" say "alright goddamnit."
And, if you want to, you can buy a coffee cup with the definition on the side.

Mick's Office
Sorry for the lack of posts lately, I just haven't had much to talk about... Until now.
First up, I've picked up some pretty damn legit music lately and they've managed to hold up to a few listens.
Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… Pt. II is a gem of an album. I've always had a soft spot for the Wu-Tang Clan and this album validates everything that they were known for. I never got around to getting the first Cuban Linx, but I'm starting to regret that, because as far as East-coast rap goes, this is stellar. There are quite a few guest spots like Ghostface, Method Man, and Inspectah Deck, but somehow Raekwon always snags the highlight of each track.
I've also been listening to quite a bit Deadmau5 because his new album For Lack of A Better Name has been uploaded to his myspace recently. It is first and foremost a progressive house album so if you're a fan of the genre you'll love it. I liked his last album Random Album Title, but this one is somehow stronger and tighter than his last effort. It's a bit on the minimalistic side, but is still a worthy listen and could be my #1 electronic album of the year. Time will tell.
In other news, who needs six degrees of separation when you can get two. I just found out today that one of my roommates somehow got Minnesota Wide Receiver Percy Harvin to add him as a friend of facebook. He somehow got added back when he was still in college and isn't taking any more requests as he only had 4,500 friends total. Well, he somehow started looking on his twitter account and stumbled upon Chad Ochocinco's twitter. Yesterday, Chad made a huge mistake... he put his cell phone number on a tweet as he was replying to Britney Spears. So yeah, I've got Chad Ochocinco' phone number now.
UPDATE -- the phone number is now being forwarded to the Bengals office. damn

Tomatoes!
I've been meaning to check out Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog for the past few months. I first heard about it on NPR and I don't even remember what show it was that I was listening to, but they made it seem like this web-series was the shit and that it was something everybody had to check out. They were right.
I'm not a fan of musicals at all and I want to stress the "at all" part of that sentance, but low and behold I really dug this show. It's only 45 minutes long and told in three acts, but goddamn it's good.
