Dear Tumblr,
Today a couple of friends and I flipped over everything in another friend’s house, even the displayed orientation of his monitor! What a day! Anyways, Tumblr, I’m going to go get some water and head to bed, because I am bushed. Goodnight and lots of love, Mike

On Project CoSplay
I’m pretty sure everyone’s heard of Project Chanology or Project CoSplay. If you haven’t, check it out. I think it’s funny that /i/vanders are most likely the people who can out-bully a bully. Right now their trying to google bomb them, so I feel like I should do my part: dangerous cult Scientology
I feel bad for necropheliacs
Unless they work at a morgue, they’ll never get laid. Society shuns their strange fetish and they can’t get a date. Even though I feel bad, I still find it really, really gross.
Watch“frat boy dad.” elephant larry strikes again, directed by me and produced by chtv. i think this is one of our stronger stylistic achievements, making a real house look like a sitcom set. — samreich
Natural Gay Attraction Body Mist →
So I have this plan, see? I get this body mist and I spray it on myself. I’m not aiming to attract gay men, ‘cause I’m not into that. Instead, apparently the ladies love the gay men so they’d naturally flock to me. After dealing with the cocks I can deal with the hens.
Probably the best website ever. →
Mouse over the blue cup.
Alex Parker: My mom will write on a post it note "ALEX, THERE IS A NOTE ON THE FRIDGE" and stick the note on back of the front door
Alex Parker: and then write a sticky note and put it on the fridge
I feel bad for puddles
Everyone avoids them and kids stomp on them. They lead a short, lonely, and painful life.
I slept for nineteen hours last night. That’s from four in the afternoon to eleven this morning. I’m still a little tired.
Backseat Coding
If someone stands behind you and barks everytime you make a typo, or belches an idea whenever you pause to think, it gets really hard to code.
I like how old people write emails the same way they used to write telegrams. Short and quick sentences, always followed by a line break. All caps. No punctuation except periods and question marks. And they always end them with something like, “PLEASE RESPOND.” — evansteiner Yeah, I know I just reblogged posts from the same person twice in a row. I think now all of my emails have...
I went in to renew my license today
Clerk: Sir, you've written your weight down as 280 lbs. You don't appear to be 280 lbs. to me.
Evan: I'm not. I want the waitresses the bar to think I've just lost a lot of weight.
Clerk: I'm sorry sir, we can't do that.
I love how they did this video. →
a story from July
I was on the subway one morning during the 8am rush hour. The N train was packed and an elderly man had no where to sit and nothing to really hold on to. Sadly, no one was moving aside for him either so he just stood there trying to stay balanced. I had some room next to me where I was standing against the door so I motioned for him to come stand next to me. I couldn’t stand there and...

One thing I love and one thing I hate: Sleeping. I love to sleep, I love falling asleep and I love (sometimes) waking up. Sleeping is great sometimes. Other times I just don’t want to sleep so I stay up and do things. It’d be nice to have more control over when I had to sleep.
Audiosurf →
Usually there’s nothing on 4chan worth linking to but yesterday my friend showed me Audiosurf. It’s a game that takes a track of your choice and generates a music highway with it. The highway has bumps and slopes up, slopes down and curves left to right, all depending on how the music sounds. For example, a really mellow song will gently slope up while a song with a thumping beat will...
10 Pound Race
I’m racing people to see who can loose ten pounds first. Anyone else in? Particularily anyone in Ottawa so I have someone to jog with?
I had a revelation today:
If people can be considered hot (“man, s/he’s hot”) then I think we should measure people’s attractiveness in scovilles. So now you have a quantity to associate with attractiveness that makes more sense than the 0-10 scale. On this new scale I would probably be 350 000 scovilles, but I might be being modest.
I'm Soooo Important
It’s pretty awesome having nine people follow me, even though two are people I personally know and I have a guess at who one of them might be. But that still leaves six random people who find me interesting. Or they could just be hoping I’ll follow them in return.

Highlights of aught-seven
Meeting Valerie Thibault. Starting improv and managing to get on the improv team. It’s always fun to make people laugh.
