#42 - Reading, Writing and Arithmetic

...Are the branches of the learning tree

That is, unless you are me. The branches of my learning tree (for a couple more weeks) are, like: Mermaids, democracy, Jesus and the verb ĂȘtre. University is ridiculous.

Anyway, since I am taking a full 36 hours off from school, and am bumming around at home watching bad television and playing Scrabulous while my friends are going out and being employed and stuff, I thought I would take a few minutes to show you some things that are awesome.* I guess this is kind of a list, but it's Wednesday so I'm gonna let that go. Also, the format will be similar, but different. You might not even notice.

Demetri Martin.
Awesome because:
  1. he is very funny
  2. he went to Yale
  3. his hair is lustrous
  4. sometimes he has a pointer and sometimes he has a harmonica
  5. mostly I just like him because he is hilarious, though



The making of a movie based on the book Twilight by Stefanie Meyer
Awesome because:
  1. it will give me lots of opportunities to discuss why I hate the book Twilight by Stefanie Meyer
  2. not least of which is that she spells her name stupidly**


Ze Frank is making videos again, sometimes
Awesome because:
  1. this should be self-explanitory
  2. if it's not go here to watch some


And some more random videos
Awesome because (respectively):
  1. look at that footwork!
  2. I relate to the Courier New thing













*Run-on sentence and also a possible comma splice. I would put a period in there somewhere if I weren't so lazy.
**You'd think I would have more sympathy for people whose names are spelled unusually (what with my name lacking an "e" and all), but I guess I don't. At least not in the case of people who write shitty, overrated books which send harmful messages to the many young girls who read them.^



^Wow, I am even more annoyed by this about this than I thought.

Her name is actually Stephenie Meyer. Haha.

And although you have a point about her books--I will admit, they are highly overdramatic--I like them anyways. =\

Demetri Martin IS hilarious, no doubt.
