Remember that washing machine video? It just got about ten billion times better.

7 Awesome Geeky Things I Found
Recently, I've noticed that I'm bored out of my mind while I'm at my internship (see my previous post). Yet today, while sending e-mails to geek/tech websites, I've stumbled across a couple of completely AWESOME AND BADASS things. Maybe I just think they're awesome because I've always wanted a tetris block that transforms into a gun, or because I find awkward family photos amusing. And if you've been reading this blog since the beginning (all 3 of you!) then you may remember a post about why nerds were awesomer than the average human being. Just keep that in mind as I present you with further proof.
1. Spiderman Loses
And THAT is why I fucking love photography.
6. Awkward Family Photos
Remember that picture of you from when you were 3 and your mom thought it would be cute to take pictures of you naked in the bathtub? And then maybe she would have stuck some bath toys to your head because it just makes it that much cuter? Well feel shame no more because these pictures are much, much worse. Click here to visit the site.
7. Brick in Washing Machine
Yeah. That's a brick being thrown into a washing machine. I don't know why, but I find this hilarious and can't stop laughing at it.
I found most of this from www.geekologie.com, which is an awesome site so you should check it out. Other odd bits I found from www.gadgetreview.com and www.thinkgeek.com.
1. Spiderman Loses
Who ever made this web out of packing tape wins. Then again, they probably have too much time on their hands. But if you say that to their face, they'll toss you in and let you be slowly consumed by the robotic spiders they built.
2. Chewbaca on a Squirrel Fighting Nazis
I have no words for this, other than HOLY FUCKING SHIT.
3. How I Want My Ice Cubes to Look
I've been told that I need ice cubes, because my freezer does not make ice and I do not have an ice cube tray, because I am, apparently, lame. Well if I got this, I would no longer be lame! Right? So yeah, someone buy me this ice cube tray.
4. Gigantic Block Transforms Into...A Gun?
Looks like a harmless puzzle block, right? Kind of like an extremely complicated cross between tetris and a rubix cube. WELL YOU'RE WRONG. First you take it apart:
And then, because you don't need those fucking lego instructional manuals anymore, you build this:
GODDAMN. Yes. It is a WORKING gun. As in you could kill a man with it.
5. Let's Take a Moment to Drool Over This Photo

What My Morning At My Internship Was Like
I have been reminded how much I never want to have kids. All morning I've been looking at parenting websites as part of my internship, and according to the ever knowledgeable interwebs, babies are tiny demon soul eaters, toddlers only scream and cry, young children are brats, and teenagers are basically the facial herpes of parenting. I've just read an article on how to change a baby girl's diaper, which goes into a lot more detail than I needed. Do I really need to read this? Do I really have to research parenting websites for marketing a book? Sadly, yes. If there was ever a form of birth control, this is it.
And then there are the large amount of sites dedicated to giving advice on how to deal with teenagers. Like they're a different species. Which, you know, they might be. I haven't been a teenager for almost TWO WHOLE YEARS now, and I'm already feeling a generation gap. Like with those stupid shaped rubber band bracelets. What's the point? I'll tell you what the point is - there is none. ABSOLUTELY NONE. It's like, "OH MY GOD IT'S IN THE SHAPE OF A HUMBACK WHALE! And now I'll put it on my wrist and it becomes RANDOM SQUIGGLES."
God I'm old. Pretty soon my knees will give out, I'll have to use a cane, and my plan of being a two-fast-red-corvette-driving old lady will have to take effect. But I draw the line at cats. I will not have fifity cats. I will have great danes and rottweilers. If all goes according to plan, I will also have a castle, a moat, and fifty alligators.
I was trying to make it through today without being crazy, but I guess that's out. And I was only two hours in.
But you know, trying to entertain myself by writing a semi-crazy blog post is the only way I can make it to lunch. And then after that I'll probably become a miserable wreck trying to drag myself through the afternoon. And then on the way home, I will pass out on the T, miss my stop, end up at Boston College, and get trapped inside a T all night.
