Logan’s Run Online

It’s been a while–maybe I’ll change this note board thing to bi-weekly, or even monthly? It’d save me some time! Anyhoo, someone commented on last post and wanted an update, so I’ve provided one. Enjoy!

If Doritos + Obama = Love, what does Desu / Love = ?

I thought I’d post up some images from some of my latest escapades around campus, including the long-awaited “election night heist ‘08″. These are all hosted on ImageShack, so if you like them, please use the thumbnail code instead of linking directly to them. Hopefully, that’ll save on my disk space, too. Without further adieu, ENJOY!

First up is a pic from fencing a few weeks back. Apparently, three-on-three fencing isn’t a good idea:

This didn't go so well...

Next, an awesome guitar I found a few weeks back over at Church Street Station here in Orlando when my parents came up for the weekend. I know Ricky’s gonna like this one!

Livin' like you wanna

OK, so I forgot to rotate this one. Oh well. Turn your head sideways This is my election night heist, BTW–made away with about 20 bags of Doritos-brand election chips, as well as a hat and a small button in the center:

You're such a blockhead...

LAST NIGHT! I walk into Knightro’s to grab some dinner, and who do I see but four a cappella carollers dressed up in 18th-century garb singing Christmas songs. Sorry I couldn’t get a video, but a picture’s worth a thousand words, right?

They won't leave until they get their figgy pudding

Finally, an awesome picture of my friend &%$#* on the 5th of November. What could be more appropriate on Guy Fawkes’ Day?

"Who" is but a function of "what"

That’s all for now! Enjoy all of this! Take it in–and get more next week!

*Edit: Name obscured due to his wish of anonymity. He is legion?

I changed the theme of the site! Brand spankin’ new! Shiny, too! Kinda green, fits in with fall and Thanksgiving, no? Eh, I think so. And that’s what matters! Next post is full of awesome!

To clear up some space, I’ve removed all the images previously on the site, but kept the placeholders in each of the posts. If you really desperately need to see the pics, let me know and I’ll send whichever one you need to you–I’ve still got backups! But now you can look forward to fresh, awesome content!

Yeah, Obama won! I’m quite happy. I’m a bit more distraught at the passing of amendment 2 here in Florida–there’s simply no point for intolerance like that.

New update tomorrow detailing my election night heist ‘08!

OMG IT WAS AWESOME!!!

First off, a small review of the event itself: the scarezones were undoubtedly the best parts, as the scareactors actually interacted with you and were personable. The haunted houses, although very well conceived and engendered, didn’t and really couldn’t have that type of one-on-one interaction with you. Plus, they weren’t as scary as a guy sneaking up behind you and revving a chainsaw as you’re standing in a group of your friends studying a map and trying to decide where to go next. The chainsaw people were undoubtedly the best in terms of scare-factors. Although, I did love the “Dead Exposure” haunted house–they used a really creative idea of outlining all the objects in the room with UV-reactive paint and flashed black strobe lights, creating a really eerie, glowing effect separate from the usual strobe scenes found in haunted houses. The room in that house with the vast number of people that you bump into was, quite hoenstly, awesome.

The shows were alright and generally on-par with what I’d expect from that type of entertainment.

THE BEST PART OF THE NIGHT

I was wearing my Captain Hammer t-shirt from earlier in the day when I was dressed in my full Captain Hammer getup as my Halloween costume. Literally, all I had on was the t-shirt. Still, by the end of the night I was waving to the wicked witch at the entrance, Elphaba, and she called down to me:

Is that a Captain Hammer shirt, my dear? My, my, he is an arrogant one. Almost as egotistical as me, and that’s hard to do! Still, Dr. Horrible, that kid is going to go places. I can tell. *cackle*

Wow. Simply, WOW. A character actually noticed my shirt AND referenced it. Could it get any better? The answer, of course, is YES. Earlier on in the evening, my friends and I rounded the corner in the “Fractured Fairy Tales” scarezone, with a bunch of “scary tale” figures like Little Red Riding Hood and the Mushroom Man from Alice in Wonderland, and we did encounter that very Mushroom Man. On top of a giant mushroom, with a microphone and powerful, booming British accent, he was directing people:

It’s so nice to see everyone here tonight in my humble village. Please, proceed on in that direction if you dare…to be scared!

We were all looking up at him as he was making his rote speech when he noticed me. He did a quick double take, completely stopped his normal words in the middle of them, and then, dropping the accent and COMPLETELY breaking character:

I LOVE YOUR SHIRT DUDE! Dr. Horrible FOR THE WIN! You are now my FAVORITE person in the entire park tonight!

And when I say “breaking character”, I seriously mean breaking character–the change between his British Mushroom Man and “Joe the Universal Studios employee” was as tangible as the one between night and day. It was AMAZING and absolutely MADE my night. The fact that a shirt that I was wearing as part of my costume actually influenced and affected someone that much, especially an employee scareacting causing him to BREAK CHARACTER in order to laud me for it. WOW. God, that was just an AMAZING moment.

Apparently the Captain Hammer t-shirt has that effect on people–earlier on in the day while biking around campus with no handlebars, two girls screamed “CAPTAIN HAMMER WE LOVE YOU”. Wow. Didn’t know a shirt could do that much.

All in all, an amazing night, especially since I got to spend it with my friends that I haven’t seen in such a long time. Now we’re all back at Lauren’s apartment, watching Disney movies before sleeping.

Happy Halloween!
