27JulFoursquare has jumped the shark

A college wants to be “friends” with me on foursquare. I think it is time to punch out goose.

17FebSlight Change to AwwDip

I am going to be stopping the automatic feed of my Google Reader shared items. With the addition of Google Buzz I feel posting the links to the blog will be redundant. And if you know me, you know that the only time I want something to be redundant is when dealing with backups.

If you want to keep up with the items I find interesting (and lets be honest, you do), you have two options.

  1. You can subscribe to my Reader Shared Items
  2. Get in touch with me and I can add you to the people I am linked with on Buzz

Granted, this now leaves me with the onus of making sure I have content that is updated regularly.

17FebHow cool is this?

I have been drooling over the US Olympic snowboard gear that was made by Burton. I have a killer jacket from them, so I know they make quality gear. I would love to get my hands on this stuff, it just looks amazing.

I mean, really! The pants are made to look like old denim. I would be soooo badass kicking around Perfect North in this getup.

16FebCurling: The new drinking game

The return of the Winter Olympics brings the return of the best spectator sport: Curling!

If you are like me, you have no idea what curling is or how it is scored. I know it involves a broom and a stone… I think it is as if bocce and shuffleboard went to the tundra and had a forbidden love child. What I do know is that curling makes for one of the best drinking games ever.

29JanNetflix gets me

I just joined the rest of the world in 2002 and signed up for NetFlix. It is kinda creepy, but out of the top 10 movies they picked for me when i signed up, 9 of them are ones I either like or want to see.

12DecAssociation FTW!

Pepsi changed it’s name to Pecsi in Argentina, because it seems Argentineans can’t say Pepsi (from here). That is fine and all, but all I can think about is a bunch of Argentineans trying to drink this:

13NovI love Craigslist

If it wasn’t for Craigslist, how would we know such awesome people like this existed:

Fried Chicken is more awesome when you’re pissy – m4ww – 27 (Costa Mesa)

Date: 2009-11-11, 11:16AM PST

I enjoy eating fried/fatty/bad foods. Lately, through conversations with people of the female variety, I have come to discover that many women also enjoy eating the same type of foods when they are on their periods.

Here’s what I am looking for: Four female friends (maybe five depending on how long the menstrual cycle lasts) to eat lunch/dinner with. Your cycles should all be offset, although I will allow a little bit of overlap. The applicants must not be friends nor live together, otherwise there is a possibility of the menstrual cycles synching up, thus ruining my plan and costing me a meal buddy for a period.

Foods I enjoy: Fried Chicken (Popeye’s over KFC, but it’s all good), Chili and Chili on stuff (Tommy’s is awesome), Breakfast at all times of the day, Gravy, Carne Asada Fries (French fries covered in guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and carne asada), Chimichangas, and practically anything else that people claim could cause heart attacks or strokes.

About myself: Contrary to what you would think, I am not overweight. 5’6 and around 130lbs. I eat constantly and I’m convince I have a tape worm. His name is George.

Applicants: A little bio would be nice, but I definitely need to know what time of the month you usually have your menstrual cycle, and list the types of foods you usually have cravings for.

12NovNew hotness

I kinda got bored with the way AwwDip was looking, so I found another wordpress theme that I liked. Things are a little borked right now (especially the youtube embeds and photos), but I will get it all worked out.

If any of you readers out there would like to see something specific, please let me know in the comments. Since I am making changes, this is the time to speak up.

08NovDo me a solid

Look above this post on the home page (http://www.awwdip.com). See that banner thing saying you can vote to have Weezer come to UC. Go ahead and do that please. Thanks.

19OctYouTube is trying to tell us something

I finally got to see the greatness that is the Miley Cyrus rap on why she left Twitter, and I think Google/YouTube knows the type of people that are really (and I mean really) in to Miley.miley
