Backstreet Boys - Love Will Keep You Up All Night

Why is it that just when I was getting good at close readings, they stop giving me close reading assignments? Honestly, these article analysis's are horrid. Absolutely horrid.

I am give-or-take half way through my final assignment this semester. And by extension, this year (besides exams). But of course it has to be a four page article analysis! And I am about 99% sure that what I have so far will not get me a good mark at all. I got insanely lucky last time. I doubt lightning will /not/ strike twice...

Good thing I no longer care. All I want is to get this piece of crap done and over with. It's been too long since I had a purely enjoyable time at university. I could use one. Bad.

Hey, O'Quinn. I'm going to want the next twelve hours of my life back You got that?...

Backstreet Boys - Unmistakable

A Message About The Future?

Who here can remember the Alpha Bits Wizard? I was just buying some more cereal to top me off for the week, when I noticed the Alpha Bits box and started reminiscing. I remember one commercial where the wizard took the children to his secret cave home and introduced them to Alpha the computer. And it wasn't long after that that Alpha had completely replaced the Wizard as Alpha Bits' mascot. Stupid computers. Always trying to take over everything.

Oh, and did you know that Alpha was originally modeled after an IBM computer? But now he's based on a Mac. Go Apple go!

Oh oh, and who remembers the Suger Crisp bear? Best mascot and theme song ever. Terrible cereal though...

Rebel Without An H!

"Wake up every morning, face that age-old scene..."

Are you an Enrico Fermi High or a Then Came Jonny?

"He's a blast from the past. He's a force for the future..."

Between you and me, I wish I was a Blast From The Past.

"Wake up every morning, nothing is the same..."

And Dopey

The song Heigh-Ho. In Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. In the beginning the dwarves are singing in their mine about how they love to dig all day...

"We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig in our mines the whole day through..."

Well, I just realized yesterday that they say "dig" SEVEN TIMES!!!! Seven dwarves. Seven times. Coincidence? I don't think so! Walt Disney was a clever-minded genius!

Est. 1989

I used to think that the "Est." in clothing brands and buttons and whatnot stood for "Estimated", like the stores couldn't remember exactly when they started making clothes.

I later realized it probably stands for "Established".

12 Days

I had an idea for this post.

But I forgot it.

I wish winter would go away already.

And hello.

Doritos

I just realized I was alive back when the only flavour of Doritos was regular/cheesy. Then came Extra Cheddar-y flavoured Doritos. Followed by Cool Ranch, which in turn was followed by Jalapeno and Cheddar.

It was the Jalepeno and Cheddar that broke open the flavour dam. Seems like suddenly I walk down the snack aisle and there is all manner of BBQ, Spicy, Cheesy Pepper, and Curry flavoured Doritos.

I miss the simpler times. And Doritos 3-D. Remember those? I do.

Also, I remember when Garfield had his own brand of corn chip. If my taste memory isn't flawed, I would recall that they were better than Doritos.
