Optical Illusion

This is just amazing. It blew my mind.

Is this picture black and white, or is it in color? Stare at the dot in the middle of the image, and perhaps the answer will present itself to you. Make it full screen if you can.




This one is pretty cool too!

Book Club

In the past month I have managed to read 4 novels in a mission to read more. I think 4 in a month is pretty good. Here are the books I read and how I felt about them:

*Ratings are based on a 4 *star* system.

1. Twilight - * Terrible book. Here is a copy of my review from Facebook:

The first 375 pages go like this:

Girl: Oh the vampire is sooooo gorgeous.

Vampire: No you can't like me because I'm a vampire. I'm a good vampire but I might get tempted to bite you.

That happens over and over and over again.

At about p. 375 something interesting happens but ultimately lets you down with an anticlimactic finish where the girl says "Oh the vampire is soooooo gorgeous!" Then the vampire replies with, "No, you can't like me because I'm a vampire. I'm a good vampire but I might get tempted to bite you."

This book is possibly the lamest thing I have ever read in my life. Not only is it a terrible attempt to rip-off the brilliant "Buffy" series, it is also 300 pages too long.

I'll read the second book because I'm hoping it'll improve...I've been informed that it doesn't. Ugh.

2. How I Paid For College: A Novel of Sex, Theft, Friendship, and Musical Theatre
**1/2

An amusing book. It's an easy read but ultimately lacks any real depth. If you enjoy coming of age stories it's probably worth a look.

3. Bitter is the New Black: Confessions of a Condescending, Egomaniacal, Self-Centered Smartass,Or, Why You Should Never Carry A Prada Bag to the Unemployment Office ***

Sex and the City meets Bridget Jones Diary meets David Sedaris meets Roseanne. Fun, hilarious read and surprisingly inspirational.

4. Lovely Bones ****

Amazing. One of the best novels I've ever read. Destined to be a classic.

I'm currently reading Angels and Demons because I want to keep up my reading streak. Please feel free to comment or recommend some good books to me!

OMG This Guy Is SOOO Funny!

Wow, this guy is funny. It does not suprise me AT ALL that he is so successful. He is just so funny. Watch this clip and laugh your pants off!! If he were any funnier he wouldn't be human. He is just THAT funny. So talented and witty. I wish I were as funny as he is. Just watch this and you will know what I mean!




Seriously though, he makes me want to pry my eyes out with an AIDS infected steak knife.
