Garfield Minus Garfield

At the moment, I'm sitting among my textbooks and notebooks, eyes bleary from reading countless pages of power points, head reeling from hours of thinking about biology (mitosis and meiosis- I don't wanna talk about it), and just wanting to sleep. My poor time management and unfortunate midterm schedule means that I have trouble studying for more than one exam at once and, seeing as I have four exams this week, this makes for many late nights, as I can rarely bring myself to study for an exam when I have a different exam coming up before it. Can you tell I'm tired? I feel like that last sentence was barely coherent. But maybe it was. I'm not sure. And I can't bothered to go back and re-write it. The point is, my procrastination habits are just as bad as my study habits. And through these habits, I have found many small "study break" sites. One such gem that I stumbled upon recently is Garfield Minus Garfield. The site consists solely of Garfield comic strips, with Garfield carefully edited out. This results in a depiction of the "existential angst of a certain young Mr. Jon Arbuckle. It is a journey deep into the mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression in a quiet American suburb." Basically, it turns a mildly-amusing comic strip into fucking comical gold to the sleep deprived brain, as it shows strip after strip of poor John, whose lonely existence is only made funnier/depicts him as anywhere between mildly insane and bat-shit crazy in the absence of his cat.  Here are a few of my favorites:

The ones where he says nothing are the funniest.

Ahahahha ohgod now I can't stop laughing. I need to go study. Or sleep. Or drink more tea.

Study-break

Study-break! I like how this little kid pay NO attention whatsoever to the fact that he is soaking himself with the hose. And when he finally get's it, he's just like HELL YEAH.


Sorry for the especially lame post, I'm pretty tired.

MGG

Remember how I showed you a pretty face to help you through exams way back in December? WELL I HAVE ANOTHER ONE, and his smile is just, if not more, cute.

I actually love this man boy so much. It's a little embarrassing.

Yeah... Matthew Grey Gubler is pretty much the cutest little nerd ever, and the main reason I watch Criminal Minds, especially now that he cut his hair and is looking gooood. Anyways if you are a big Criminal Minds fan like me, or just like Mr. Gubler, or are even just a little bored and looking for something to watch, I suggest you take a look at his Unauthorized Documentary. There are a few episodes, and it's hilarious. So yeah... check it out!

Freshman's Wharf

STUDY BREAKKKKKK

Alright, so recently I went to a small short-film fest/screening thing at UVic, and they showed the first two episodes of a web series called Freshman's Wharf that some UVic students made last year. It was pretty amusing, and I went home and watched the rest of the episodes pretty quick. Each episode is only a few minutes, so next time you have have spare half hour or so, I suggest that you pop a squat and give them a look. (Did I just say "pop a squat"? THIS IS WHY I SHOULDN'T BLOG WHEN TIRED) You can see them all on YouTube:
>>Part 1
>>Part 2
>>Part 3
>>Part 4
>>Part 5
>>Part 6
>>Part 7
>>Part 8
>>Part 9
>>Part 10


I don't know too much about the whole situation about the creation of it, except that it was done for a summer course (I think), and the script was selected as a winner in an open contest. It's happening again this year, if you are interested. Anyone is eligible to enter a script. At least that's what they said at the film fest. These rules say differently. So I'm kind of confused. Best idea, just let other people do the hard work, and wait to enjoy the fruits of their labor.

A-HA. Google proves once again to be helpful than I ever could be. Read more here.

(Sorry if this post makes little sense. I'M TIRED.)
 

Study-break

Study break for today: I can't tell if this is awesome, adorable, or just plain weird. In other news, I still find geese scary.

Study-break

As someone who works at a kayak shop but, sadly, does not kayak that much, this looks like pretty much the funnest/most awesome thing ever. I just wish I knew what they were saying. Here's your daily dose of procrastination/youtube video:


Keep calm and study on!

Study-break

For those of you still in school, don't worry! You're almost done, and hopefully this will help you push through the last little bit.
For those of you not in school at the moment, you can still appreciate this. Because it's kind of awesome.



(This was done at Queens University in Kingston. They seem pretty cool out there)

Vader

So, due to the fact that it's FINALLY stopped raining and has been nice and sunny the last few days, and I have lots of extra time on my hands, I headed downtown today to enjoy the sun and walk around downt-

 

IS THAT DARTH VADER? PLAYING THE VIOLIN? Why yes. Yes it is. A common sight in downtown Victoria, this guy plays a mean violin. And nothing else I did today is interesting in comparison.

P.S blogger you are stupid because you won't let me post the edited versions of my pictures, which are much more awesome.

Study-break

So I realized that, when deciding to post a video a day, I had failed to fully think this plan out. I definitely only know about 3 amusing videos at anytime, and I was pretty sure that I was going to have to resort to youtubing "funny baby" or "cute cat" very very soon. BUT fortunately, people post all sorts of great videos on facebook, so as long as I do my casual lurking, I can find all kinds of cool things.

So here it is, your study-break for today. My friend posted this on my wall yesterday. It WILL make you smile, even just a little, because who knew that something so simple could be so goddamn awesome and cheerful.


HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT TO DO THAT NOW?

Hardcore

You think school is hard? THIS IS HARD. (hard-core too)

99 Blogposts

This is my 99th blog post. Sooo, for the sake of keeping things thematic, today's study-break post will consist of a bunch of variations of the song 99 Problems by Jay-Z, also know as Rolling Stone's 2nd best song of the 2000's. This song is great, and there are a LOT of remix's/mash-ups of it out there. I know that rap isn't everyone's thing, but cummon... Jay-Z's rapping in this song is hard not to like.

>>99 Problems (original), Jay-Z
>>One Step Closer/99 Problems, Jay-Z and Linkin Park
>>99 Problems (Prodigy Remix)
>>99 Problems/She Drives Me Crazy (DJ Angelo), Jay-Z and Fine Young Cannibals
>>99 Problems in the USA (mashup), Jay-Z and Miley Cyrus
>>Alejandro vs 99 Problems (mashup), Jay-Z and Lady Gaga

Anyways, hope you enjoyed at least a few of these. Personally, I like the Jay-Z/FYC one.

  Also, stop raining Victoria. You're bumming me out.
