Lame of Thrones

I am a huge book nerd. I pretty much read everything I can get my hands on, so of course I have read the Game of Thrones series. It was totally awesome, and I have recently been enjoying the HBO version as well. That said, I was pretty excited when I saw these Drinking glasses with the house crests on them.

Totally cute, right? Well this of course led me to investigate the depths of the internet in search of other cool GOT merch. What I found was horrifying:

GOT meets Tarantino? Really?!

I guess the person who made this forgot that "The stallion who mounts the world" was the title of the DEAD baby... yeah. Kind of a creepy thing to put on your kid unless you plan on having some weird Dothraki death-swap abortion in a tent.

Direwolf Cake pops. Because, just in case you weren't traumatized enough by the story of the loyal beasts being murdered and banished, now you can eat their faces!

And finally, the ultimate must-have for the serial killer in your life, replica finger bones plus carrying case, just like the crazy Davos had! Yay!

Star Wars- Call me maybe

So, unless you live under a rock, you have seen the numerous parody videos of "Call me Maybe", but this one is done completely in the words of the Star Wars characters... what could possibly be better than that? Well, okay, a lot of things, but here you go anyhow. Enjoy.

Matrix goes A capella

 

Alright, I know I have been neglecting my blog for a while now, but I am back. Had to deal with actual RL issues. Anyhow, to get back into the swing of things, here is a remix of the Matrix lobby scene, by Matt Mulholland. I pretty much am a fan of all things Matrix, and besides that, his one-man sound effects are awesomesauce.

Sometimes even superheroes get busy...

 

Sorry, I haven't blogged for a bit. Things have been a little insane here. More posts coming soon though! :)

Oscar best picture nominees... as LEGO's

Since I spent most of last week playing 'LEGO Star Wars' on the PS3, I figured that I would share the LEGO love, so here you go. It's the Oscar-nominees for best picture movie posters, with LEGO people :)

Want to have sex in the batcave?

Yes please!!! Taiwanese hotel Eden in Kaohsiung City features the above Batman-themed suite, but the thing is, Eden is an erotic hotel with an hourly rate, which makes the Batman suite an erotic Batman suite that is paid for at an hourly rate. Read that again: Erotic Batman. Not only does the room feature sexy Batman decor, but there’s a Batmobile in which erotic things may happen. The hotel also gives away lubrication, lingerie and “other perks” around holiday time. Last year, rates for the romantic Batcave were around $50 for three hours. I am seriously considering a vacation, just so that I can say that I hooked up in the batcave.

Big Brother isn't just watching... he is actively stalking you.

We have all heard that companies and colleges will occasionally check an applicants facebook before hiring/enrolling them. Well, now there is proof that it has, in fact, become commonplace. A recent Kaplan study found that admissions departments at 80% of top colleges “visited potential students’ online profiles during their recruiting process. One blogger wrote:

"I doubt that hordes of students frequently lose scholarships or have an admission reneg’d for something that they innocently put up on Facebook. BUT what actually happens is much worse. Indiscreet social media postings can make your interviewer (or the admissions officer) prejudiced against you without realizing it. And that’s scary and worrisome because a large chunk of admissions decisions are really close calls. They are based on “fit” and “feel” – it’s not just what you’ve shown you can do, but the potential people think you have.".

So, if you are planning on applying for school, or for a job... make sure you lock up your privacy settings on all social media sites. It's hard enough to get ahead in the world without the disadvantage of your interviewer having seen photos of you doing keg stands in the nude at last weekends party.
