Hulu shows an ad by 5 hour energy where a guy complains about the tired feeling some people get at 2:30pm at work (i.e. just after lunch). The solution to this grogginess is to take a pill of 5 hour energy. Every day. Every time you feel groggy.

I am constantly amazed and excited by the artistic throughput of Paritoshites. Many have their own space on the internet where they write and express, here I try to capture all of that. I'll keep this updated as best I can.

1. The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to a "Bloody Nuisance." The last time the English issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was in 1588 when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

Sometimes you are in a conversation that is so boring it sucks the life force out of you. The good news is you can completely tune out during the conversation and do something more useful in your head. Just remember to feed in one of these fifteen generic responses to convince the other party that you are listening. These come field tested, I have used these to prolong conversations that should have died!

1. That makes sense, that was the correct thing to do.
2. Interesting.
3. I disagree with that, but I guess in that situation I might have done the same thing.

Facebook had a strange advertisement to me recently. See below for the screenshot. The advertisement was for finding 'cute Asians'. I was a little perplexed and intrigued, and here's why.

1. First off, that's like saying 'cute puppies', it's redundant.
2. Second, what is the ad trying to read?
   • That I have a lot of Asian friends? (I have a lot of Asian friends, btw, which is why I this post is totally OK.)
   • Or is it trying to say I don't have enough and that I should get more?

Here is the screenshot with the ad

I love Batman, he is my favorite superhero. I could write an essay on why he should be your favorite as well, but for now lets just agree that he's cool. Here are 3 Batman derived spoofs I have found that really rock. The first two are funny, and the third is an awesome fan film starring Batman characters.

Pete Holmes as Batman

Pete Holmes is AMA-ZING! He is hilarious, and so is this take of his on Batman and Gordon's meetings.

One of the games I had made for mangokiwi.com was called Temple of Blocs. I still have the code and all of the sounds and images, but I completely forgot that we also had made a pretty good trailer of the game. Here it is

I am writing a novel for November, which is annual novel writing month.  This year (2009) is my first to participate, so I have kept the size of my novel down.  Essentially this means I am writing a short story, which if I print in big fonts turns into a children's novel.  I am very happy with this decision since my life is as busy as ever, meaning I am barely squeezing in a few paragraphs here and there.  Plus, now November is almost over.
