Pelican or Seagull...You Decide!

This is a pelican. Notice the beak.


















This is a Seagull.















These are two Pelicans standing next to a Seagull. Once again, notice the beaks


















It seems that these two birds are extremely hard to tell apart. Luckily their beaks are just barely different enough for us to know. There are other animal species that are just as hard to tell apart. Butterflies and horses being one of them.

George Lucas in Love

This is a superbly well done video about the origins of the Star Wars idea.

Log #5

So for this week all we did was conferences. I hope all of yours went well. But since conferences don't make for a very interesting log, I have decided to write about how a perfect week in English 102-15 would go. In other words this log is a work of fiction depicting an imaginary English class. Hope you enjoy!


Monday, February 16th
Today McArdle told us to form a circle of love. Perplexed we obliged and then we began to discuss the true nature of the universe. Unfortunately, some of us had been eating our brain Wheaties and thought a little bit too hard. We then discovered the answer to life, the universe and everything, and as most of you know this answer is not supposed to be known. Unknowingly we created a rip in space/time that would come to dominate our week.

Wedensday February 18th
Today we discovered the rip we had created. Many of our class computers and chairs had been sucked in (along with McArdles well hidden toupe). With a unparalled brilliance, I came up with the idea to clog the hole. The problem is that holes in space/time are pretty hard to close. We then decided that the best course of action was to treat this hole as a God and make sacrifices to it. Andrew Prestler drew the short straw.

Friday, February 20th
Lucky for us the janitors had closed the hole for us with a nice infusion of broomsticks and floor laminate. We then had a pizza party in remembrence of our beloved computers and chairs. The now bald McArdle announced that we would not need to do our multimodal projects because without Andrew the class number is uneven. His sacrifice was not in vain.

Disturbing...

If you were like me as a child, you watched cartoons every Saturday morning. One of the better ones was Ducktales. Here's the intro to help you remember:



Now this is where I must warn you. Our world is full of truly messed up people. They hide in the shadows, lurking, waiting for the most opportune time to get you. These people would like nothing better than to destroy your childhood. If you are someone who would like to hold on to this innocence then you must not watch the video below. But if you are like me and love absolutely disturbing expressions of creativity then click play!

Space and beyond...

Well today I was bored and I began to contemplate the vast complexities of the universe. Aided by some Chopin, I looked into the Deep Field Photo. If you've never heard of it then I suggest you watch this video. As I took in the vastness I began to feel zen like, and then I began to philosophize about all types of crazy stuff like is there life somewhere else in the universe, what does it all mean, etc. My questions for you, my good people, is what makes you feel zen like? and what do you do to relax and philosophize?


The Hubble Deep Field Photograph: NASA had the Hubble telescope look at a spot in the sky the literal size of a thumbnail. This is what it saw. Each bright spot you see is a galaxy. Each galaxy is the home of billions and billions of stars. Each star could have it's own solar system. This should make anyone feel small.

Best. Song. Ever. Period.

Songs that get stuck in your head...

As you grow older you gain wisdom in many areas. You learn important lessons such as, "hey don't touch that hot stove!," or, "don't listen to english teachers who get fired for public intoxication (Loooongggg story)!" One thing that I have learned is that some songs will get stuck in your head, and they will remain there, indefinitely. These songs are to be avoided at all costs. The only way to fix this problem is to listen to the song on repeat until it leaves. Sometimes this only makes the situation worse and you may develop an acute case of what I call: Song Attachment Derangement Syndrome of Numerical Grandness or SADSONG. If you develop SADSONG there is no cure for you. The only way to fight SADSONG is to try and prevent yourself from falling victim to songs that easily remain in your head. I've compiled a small list of songs that do this. Good luck...my fair people. Shalom.

It's a Small World After All - Disney
The Adverb Song - Schoolhouse Rock
Time is Running Out - Muse
Whatever You Like - T.I.
Single Ladies - Beyonce
Welcome Home - Coheed and Cambria
Kickstart My Heart - Motley Crue
Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley
Jessie's Girl - Rick Springfield
Peanut Butter Jelly Song - Family Guy

The sick thing is that I linked all these songs so that you can listen to them. You don't have to, but you know what they say...curiosity killed the cat muahaahahahaahaha. Oh and here's a link to some scientific study they did on the subject. It's boring I wouldn't recomend it...
