So I'm sitting at my desk at work. we've just finished the morning meeting.
And ever since I was given my own personal laptop at school with internet access, I've been on it every minute of the day, that I'm not in class. I'm pretty sure this visiting school thinks I'm the most TERRIBLE ALT they've ever had...but...you know what? when you give me one class per day...and don't even have a lesson planned, or ask me to plan something for you...AND you give me a personal computer...it's like asking a baby to not suck on a candy flavored pacifier, WITH sparkles on it.
anyhow, this week I've convinced myself that if I stick to reading more wikipedia articles, and less news -- it looks a little less "busy" cuz I'm not always typing and clicking a mouse and such...I'm just scrolling down a page and reeeeading. eh?
ha, anyway...
I've been reading so much interesting stuff! Duh, I know wikipedia has been around for yeeears, but it never ceases to amaze me at its TOTAL ultimate awesomeness. And how literal "information at your fingertips within seconds" has totally become.
anyway, anyway anyway...
after checking email, i went to wikipedia's page. I read a bunch of articles yesterday about serial killers and filicide and crazy religious groups - it was a good reading day.
Today I thought I'd actually explore the page a little...and noticed in the left corner there's a link that says "random article".
hmmmm, interesting!
first click: North High School in Evansville, Indiana
hmmm, boooring!
second click: Viscounts of Bearn
ummm, huh??
third click (this is fun! it's like a lottery or bingo, what's next!!? are you ready? are you ready? waaaait for it....waaaaaaaaaaaaaait. for... it.): SCUD THE DISPOSABLE ASSASSIN!!!!!!!!!!!
holy freakin' cow!!
right!!!!?
bloooown away.
i think, if you were watching me, here at this desk, at the moment i clicked the mouse...you'd actually see my head and hair fly slightly backwards in amazement, with the whites of my eyes showing and my mouth open -- like i said, bloooown away!!
haha...tooooo cool.
but whaaat does it meeean???
is the universe hinting at something?
;)
huuuuuuh? I don't understandd, maybe it's a cultural thing!
ReplyDeletehaha, sorry, I think the only one who will get it is Tracy.
ReplyDeleteit's the comic book that our director/ex.prod/writer has been working on for years.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scud:_The_Disposable_Assassin
just a huge coincidence that the odds of me coming across a page like that...among the BILLIONS on wikipedia. i mean, i clicked the random article link at least 50 more times after the "scud" article - to see what the odds are of finding another article, at random, that i personally know or was a slight part of... and nothing came up with anything even slightly relatable to me, or even interesting to me, for that matter! :)
just to add:
ReplyDeletei mean, I helped Rob Scrab (the creator of this "Scud: the Disposable Assassin") make copies of the original comic strips.
I watched him draw it!
I was there when his assistant and gf slaved everyday to make hundreds of copies of all the drafts.
come on, that's a pretty rad "random" article, eh? on the third click. :)
Lol I freakin love how random and coincidental life can be! I mean, what are the odds?!?!!
