I don’t really play online games like World of Warcraft. I’m usually too busy getting loaded at my local watering hole and chasing skirts to waste my time online like that. But this guy.. on yeah.. he loves himself some WOW. Loves it.. or rather.. maybe he hates it but I think that’s because he plays it too much. If you look closely, I think has a full slice of pizza in breast pocket.

Update

Whooooooaaa! This bitch is crazy! New York Times is reporting that Amy Bishop shot and killed her brother 1986. Yeah. You read that correctly. She got into an argument with her brother in Braintree, south of Boston and “accidentally” shot him. Right. Accidentally. This woman is the epitome of unstable. What happened to background checks?

This story came out of nowhere.. and at first, the details were skimpy at best. University of Alabama Neurobiologist, Amy Bishop, apparently opened fire on several other professors during a faculty meeting. Three professors died immediately and three others were wounded and taken to local hospitals. The shooting took place at the Shelby Center around 4 PM and no students were injured or involved. The professors killed were G. K. Podila, the department’s chairman; Maria Ragland Davis; and Adriel D. Johnson Sr. Two more biology professors, Luis Rogelio Cruz-Vera and Joseph G. Leahy, and a TA,  Stephanie Monticciolo, are at a local Huntsville Hospital. Amy Bishop was apprehended outside the center without incident, but police said they have not recovered a weapon.

As of this morning, Professor Bishop has one count of murder with more expected. She could face the death penalty if convicted. Her husband is also being questioned as a person of interest but not as a suspect. The two had invented some sort of mobile petri as part of a university start up program. However, Professor Bishop had found out recently that she was not going to receive tenure.

This is definitely a rather bizarre shooting. This woman, afterall, is a Harvard PhD and a well liked professor. Here’s her Rate My Professor page. Combine that with the recent funding she received it’s kinda hard to believe she’s acted in this way. I’m sure a lot of additional information will come out as the investigation continues.

Sorry all for the lack of posts lately.. been a busy start to the semester to say the least. But lets let bygones be bygones. Alright.. I really have nooooo idea who Julia Mancuso is. I do know Lange ski boots and their ad campaign using Julia Mancuso is brilliant. I guess they really took the old adage “sex sells” to the max.

There’s been a lot of people ragging on Oliver Stone’s Wall Street sequel, Money Never Sleeps. It may be the fact that he cast Shia I-play-the-same-character-in-every-movie-I-star-in LeBeouf or the fact that the original Wall Street was just so damn good that sequel seemed wholly and completely unnecessary. I, however, can’t wait to see it Shia’s bad acting notwithstanding. The trailer doesn’t give away much of the plot and I could do without the heavy guitar reverberation but overall, the premise of the movie and the timing of it’s release couldn’t be better timed.

The part with the rapper side stepping Gekko to get into the limousine is priceless. And Gordon’s quote pretty much sets the stage for the entire movie:

Someone recently reminded me I was once said ‘Greed is good’. Now it seems it’s legal. – Gordon Gekko, Money Never Sleeps

I just got chills down my spine… get em, Gordon. Get em! I’ve never before wanted to root for the bad guy so badly in a film. Michael Douglas seems to slide right back into the role. It seems Charlie Sheen will also be in the movie since he’s on the credits but the level of his character’s participation is questionable. It could be a small cameo or an important element of the plot. Time will tell.

The remaining cast rounds out with Josh Brolin and Frank Langella. Two complete bad asses when it comes to making a taught dramatic thriller. We also have newcomer Carey Mulligan as Gekko’s estranged daughter Winnie Gekko. A character that will no doubt play a central twist to the overall plot.

Money Never Sleeps comes out April 23rd. Greed is good, indeed.

Now this story could go one of two ways. The first would involve some sort of forced lesbian orgy in cheerleading outfits. The second would be something banal like withholding food from pledges or paddling them too hard. Crap. It’s the second.

Six members of Sigma Gamma Rho were arrested for apparently beating the shit out of pledges so badly that one had to seek medical attention at Robert Wood Johnson medical center. Some of the pledges were paddled over 200 times and *gulp* denied food. They probably needed to lose a few pounds anyway. Wait, what?

Somehow this sounds more like a gang initiation than a sorority pledge class. What happened to  frolicking tickle fights in underwear and practicing “making out” with eachother (cause that’s what girls do when we’re not around – don’t ruin it). Grabbed this story from Zlata Thoughts. Knowing Zlata, this story could be completely made up but she does have list of the girls arrested. Friends of yours?

So my girlfriend just received the latest Shape magazine. I read it. Oh yeah I do. You know why? Cause it’s got better pics of hot chics bending over in tight outfits and bikini’s than Maxim. Trust me. I spend 14 hours a day scanning magazines and web sites looking for pics of hot chics bending over in tight outfits and bikinis. I would know. Anyway, on the cover is a bikini clad, smoking hot and blond Katherine McPhee. Now, it’s no secret that I’m a huge.. HUGE fan of brunettes but I gotta say, McPhee is looking pretty awesome. But I’m not convinced… what are your thoughts? Blond or Brunette?

Blond or Brunette? Yes, Please.

The last time I played Twister I was eight years old at a birthday party. I got stuck in a round with the smelly kid. This looks like a WHOLE lot more fun.

Well it’s finally here… and since you were probably passed out/hung over from all the back-to-school parties, you probably missed the announcement. Good thing I’m hear to tell you what everyone else already knows. Apple has announced it’s tablet PC – the iPad. I followed the announcement pretty closely through sites like CNET, Gizmodo and Engadget. All had relatively complete coverage on the product and it’s features. I have to say the design left me yawning and although there were some interesting features I didn’t think it would have, it left out a few other key items that would make it a really useful tool. What most peaked my interest was that Steve Jobs announced that textbook manufacturers were on board to supply their books via Apples new service, iBooks (essentially iTunes for books).

The iPad will be available April & have textbooks!

Textbooks have always been a bit of a sore spot for me. They are REDICULOUSLY expensive. It’s consumer price gouging at its worst (I’m surprised the FTC hasn’t actually cracked down). Lowly, poor college students across the country are forced to shell out hundreds of dollars for the latest, greatest editions. Only the latest and “greatest” edition amounts to a three word change in the 8th paragraph of some obscure passage on page 392. Next year they will change 2 words on the 9th paragraph of the same obscure passage and viola.. you can’t sell your book back anymore because it’s “obsolete”. Bastards.

Enter the iPad. With a low entry cost… only $499 for the base model. A school could easily require students to have one (rolled into tuition costs - Wisconsin was handing out Kindles on a test basis but canceled the program). The real question is, what would the cost of a textbook be when purchased through iBooks? 60% of current retail? 80%? I was kinda surprised to see that book prices on Amazon were exactly the same as their corresponding paperback. Meaning that buying books for the Kindle was actually more expensive than buying the paperback. An annoying little item that preventing me from buying the Kindle.

I still suspect we’ll see several campuses this fall.. maybe even as early as this summer… beta testing textbook delivery via the iPad. Thoughts on pricing or whether you’d use the iPad to study for finals?

UPDATE: State Police in Virginia have confirmed the remains through dental records.

In what is a very unfortunate turn of events in the case of Missing Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington, skeletal remains were found on a farm about 10 miles from the Metallica concert where she went missing in October. Virginia state police were confident the remains belonged to Morgan. The remains were found Tuesday morning by a farmer surveying wind damage from last week’s storms. He called 911 as soon as he saw what appeared to be a human skull. Morgan’s parents were summoned to identify the remains. A full story can be found on CNN.

Morgan Harrington disappeared October 17th, 2009

Our hearts and prayers go out to the Harrington Family (Dan and Gil Harrington), Morgan’s friends and the Virginia Tech campus. We hope that this latest tragic turn sheds some light on what happened to Morgan and helps track down whoever may have been responsible. More information about Morgan and her family’s struggle can be found on their web site.
