Wikipedia: Mjöllnir

I’ve grabbed some comics to read, and have been reading through Marvel’s “Siege” storyline (January to May 2010), which, as far as  I’ve gotten, deals with Thor and the Asgardians (I think it’s pronounced ”az-guardians”, not “ass-guardians”).

Anyway, Thor has this totally badass hammer, named Mjöllnir. Here is an excerpt (taken completely out of context) from the Wikipedia page:

At a banquet Þrymr holds in honor of the impending union, Þrymr takes the bait. Unable to contain his passion for his new maiden with long, blond locks (and broad shoulders), as Þrymr approaches the bride by placing Mjöllnir on “her” lap, Thor rips off his disguise and destroys Þrymr and his giant cohorts.

Read more about Mjöllnir here.

Update: Here’s a video of me, making a Chibi-Mjolnir:

More Kaela Goodness

So I realized that there are some things I don’t want to lose/forget about, but are horrible easy to misplace in the mess of life. So, here’s a post to make sure I can always find these gems (they are animated GIFs so I put them behind the jump, in case you don’t like browser lag). Continue reading

Edit: Okay so, is it more or less incriminating that my girlfriend very much resembles the Kaela you see in the image below? I’m wondering if it was coincidence—I certainly didn’t set out after Amy with the intention of finding someone like Kaela-san, but… I cannot deny that the similarities aren’t pretty glaring! Damn! Or… kind of awesome? I wonder if I’ll be getting a stern talking to in the near future… Love you, Amy! *nervous chuckle*

I am not entirely sure what is going on here but I am sure that it is most definitely awesome. I ♥ Kaela Kimura (Adwin, this is just the beginning of my site-shrine).

Click the jump for the lyrics (most of which I don’t know how to read/understand). Been liking this darling since grade 10 or so, ever since the “Happiness!!!” video (which was pretty viral if you were part of the “In” in “Internet”). Certifiably and scientifically proven to be the cutest girl online and otherwise. Continue reading

5 things we did at Adwin’s place:

  • Left 4 Dead LAN party, versus rapage, survival exploit-fails
  • Rock Band 2, starting The Navel Poonapples and getting owned by “The Perfect Drug” (NIN)
  • Breakfast at… some breakfast place, it was damn good
  • Guava juice + Fresca, enough said
  • 3 on 3 Bobble Head Hockey + Ragdoll Kung Fu

Twas a fun time. Adwin and his parents are always wonderful hosts. I thank him for the invites and wish Raf could have been there to join us. I also lament my sucky RB drum skills. O. M. G. The Perfect Drug.

5 major fails of my WordPress setup:

  • Twitter Tools Plugin: it spawned something like 30+ daily digest posts for the 9th and 10th of this month on my blog.
  • Mega-laga: navigating to pages within the site admin and editing stuff all took minutes each with the Twitter Tools script still running.
  • Automatic Upgrade: failed to rewrite a specific file so I had to do it manually.
  • Incorrect Database: I had entered in the wrong info (by one character) in the wp-config file so it couldn’t find the database for my blog posts.
  • Themes: not only did WP apply some awful green theme to my blog without me noticing, but it also borked all the header text sizes when I reinstalled an updated version of this Elegant Grunge theme I’m using, meaning I had to go and reset the text size values manually.

All these things came up after I decided to start working on my group project for Business, and knowing me I had to sort all these things out if not before, then during my work. All is well now. Twitter Tools is now disabled and will likely be removed soon, and my blog is up to 2.7.1 date. All’s well! Except my project isn’t done. [FAILSTAMP]
