Help, I'm Alive

Mon, 20 May 2013 12:36:26 -0500

I’m sure this is not the post you expected (or even wanted) after my long absence, but I feel like telling you I haven’t died (yet) and what’s been happening in my life.

First, let me clarify, I actually have been here. I see all of your messages and comments, I just haven’t posted anything. So here’s the rundown:

I had a 3.8 GPA semester (probably my best semester to date).

I’ve been working as a tutor for the Sanger Learning Center at my university (computer science).

I finally earned enough money to buy my mom the mother’s ring she’s wanted for quite awhile, it should be arriving in the mail today.

I had an 80s party:

And it failed miserably. See, the power went out halfway through and we got a slew of noise complaints (my borrowed sound system is just too awesome). Fortunately, the power came back on just after Tori (above, middle) showed up and we played drinking games until neither of us was coherent (thanks for that, really).

And I just (as in, just now) got a summer job as a proctor with my favorite professor.

So things haven’t been so bad, actually. I have about two weeks before my job starts so I’m going to relax, perhaps create a few photosets. I feel as though I’ve GIF’d the entire Pirates franchise, though. Keep a weather eye.

Cheers, everyone! Thanks for not unfollowing!

Jerry Bruckheimer gave a few details about the storyline:

“Will is the antagonist this time. After years of captaining the Dutchman, he’s accepted the finality of death — something Jack doesn’t understand. Of course, Jack is clever so he’s going to find a way to save the only woman he ever loved.”

It really works!

This is only week two and I’ve already cleared up so much. Also, I’m really bored and I have to study for my Object-Oriented Programming exam (I’m sure some of you are aware of how I become a nightblogger when I pull all-nighters) so here’s a photo of me.

My heart is beating really fast, we’ve been discussing tricksters in European Folktale and my professor has discussed everyone from Bugs Bunny to Loki but didn’t even mention Jack Sparrow so I made a video and sent it to her with a few paragraphs and she made me stand up in front of everyone and talk about him and then she showed my video and I got extra credit, okay I’m calming down now.

The Pirate Bay Fights Copyright with Copyright

The Pirate Bay — one of the Internet’s premier destinations for infringing copyrights — is really mad that someone set up a copycat. So mad that they sued them for violating their copyright.

Here's another little (tech support) gem from yours truly

Fri, 04 Jan 2013 18:08:00 -0600

I know that technology has come along way. I remember the days when I’d call tech support and the representative would think that I was my own mother. Thankfully my voice and knowledge have deepened, and now I can share with you a few little tricks I use whenever I need to call someone to get shit fixed.

My point is, even though technology is far better than it was in those days, the whole voice-command phone tech support is complete bullshit. Not only that, it’s really demeaning. It’s like they’re saying “you’re not important enough to talk to an actual human so listen to this computer so you can become more frustrated.”

Thankfully, I’ve learned a few tricks that help you get where you want to go. There’s no denying that, even if you have to wait five minutes, you’ll get a solution to your problem faster by talking to a tech support agent than by listening to a computer telling you to try what you’ve already tried.

Because most tech support by phone systems are voice-command, all you have to do is say the magic word (and I’ve already said it): AGENT.

COMPLETELY IGNORE all the other options, even if one of them is “I’d like to speak to a representative.” Know why? Because you’ll get trapped in an infinite loop of discouraging comments and “help” speeches. They really don’t want you to trouble them.

Just say agent over and over again until you hear a dial tone, don’t even answer yes or no. It really works, trust me. Nobody wants to go through the maze that is computerized phone tech support.

And if that doesn’t work, here’s a fool-proof trick: say random, unintelligible crap. I’m serious, the program is designed so that if it can’t understand what you’re saying, it will immediately transfer you to a representative.

It is my sincerest hope that none of you will ever have to use these tricks (because, really — who wants to suffer no Internet connection?) but it is inevitable that some of you will. Have fun.

This message brought to you by my complete annoyance with my family’s intermittent Internet connection.

why don't you watermark your gifs to keep them from being reposted?

Fri, 04 Jan 2013 16:09:00 -0600

I only use a watermark when it doesn’t take away from the overall image, but people will repost them anyway.

I think my most popular post is the “I got a jar of dirt!” (over 300k notes) but it isn’t even mine, some perfidious rotter stole it.

You’re completely obsessed with treasure.

sonic-thespacehog:

I want a gif of Jack Sparrow when he’s first fighting will and he goes, “Who makes all these?!” in reference to the swords.

But I’ve never seen one, surprisingly. You’d think it was a reaction gif already or something?

Tried it out, works great.

Thu, 03 Jan 2013 13:43:44 -0600

As I’ve pointed out on numerous occasions, the fourth film was dumbed down just so people like you could follow along. Seriously, everything has to be painfully simple, else there’s trouble at the box office. Nowadays you’re just spoonfed a load of crap and you eat it up because of the action scenes and naked women. For those of you wondering, the post ends with “they’re just so terrible.”

Oh, and you are captain of NOTHING.
