Good Lord I Haven't Posted in a While

Part of having a school with a "Strong Engineering Program" is the tendency of said Engineering students to be a tad south of normal. Most times this tendency manifests itself in an affinity for Cannibal Corpse and WOW discussions, but occasionally all that nerdiness is redeemed when some enterprising soul builds a seesaw and puts it in front of the student union. On behalf of all the wussy liberal arts majors here at Grove City College, thank you. Ok thats all I wanted to say, you can go back to building Lego Mindstorms now.

On a completely unrelated note last night I watched Hot Fuzz (for the 5th or 6th time) and this time I watched it with something called the "Fuzz Meter" on. Apparently this is a running subtitle commentary which certainly enhanced the movie. Not only did it reveal to me that Simon Pegg has an unhealthy but awesome obsession with The Kinks, but was also hilariously self-referential as only British humor can be. Probably the most amusing running gag was the idol worship of supporting actor Timothy Dalton, who was described once as being "Dashing" and another time as posessing "Chiseled features which Marvel comics routinely draw inspiration from to draw superheroes."
Notes: 
  • Turns out the seesaw was being used for a fundraiser which is much less exciting than my previous theory of spontaneous playground equipment generation.
  • This is just awesome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puSkP3uym5k
