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.

Office Space with a teddy bear

After spending a few years in corporate America, I pretty much wanted to put my head in an oven. This video, besides being utterly hilarious, will probably look sadly familiar to any of you out their who have the misfortune to work in an office.

You like me! You really like me!

So, here goes:
I do puzzles like an old lady, I think 'In n Out' should be available in every state, I love plants... but usually kill them,  and I see no reason to wear shoes when I could just wear flip-flops. I think that is enough about me for now.

Your childhood dreams are dead :)

Iconic toy, the "Easy-Bake Oven" is about to become part of history. At least in it's traditional form. A federal ban on the manufacture of incandescent light bulbs, the Easy-Bake Oven's longtime source of heat, kicks in next year. According to Hasbro, they plan to switch to a different heating element. More than 20 billion Easy-Bake Ovens, featuring an incandescent bulb, have been sold since 1963. The toy was even been inducted into the Toy Hall of Fame in 2007. I am sure that we all hope that they can come up with another way to do it, because if you are anything like me, you probably had a lot of fun with this toy when you were younger. Come to think of it, that was probably the last time I baked anything without burning it or lighting the kitchen on fire.
