Hamsterdam Doesn't Like The OC

Fuck Orange County. Strip malls: Blecch. Gated communities: Terrible. Sterilized, whitewashed society: Boring. Monolithic socioeconomic demographics: Stultifying. And being the namesake/inspiration of some of the worst TV shows and movies of the last 10 years: Unforgivable. Seriously, I dare any of you to be able sit through the entire trailer for Orange County the movie. It's only 2:30 in length, here you go:

Orange County (2002) Official Trailer (via marcdirector)

Star-divide

P.S. - The OC that really, really pisses me off is the one that had Paulie Jr. popularize that awful chinstrap facial hair. That one really gets my goat.

Hamsterdam rules apply as always, have fun and be excellent to eachother.

It’s amazing how much comedic talent was wasted by that film. I never imagined Chevy Chase, Lily Tomlin, Jack Black, and Catherine O’Hara could all be in a movie soooooo bad.

The days of the Big East's auto-bid are numbered.

In the new BCS/plus1/playoff negotiations going on, it looks like AQ status is going bye-bye. The other 5 power conferences have tie-ins with the current BCS bowls, so AQ is redundant for them. And eliminating the status is a symbolic bone to throw to the mid-majors.

I'm at 14 months

And it took about 3 months for the smell of my car to make me nauseous. And it wasn’t until a year that the smell of coworkers after lunch lost its appeal. Even now sometimes I want to bum one from them. But I don’t, because I remember how bad it is for me. And you can make it through. It will suck, but you can do it.

Keep it up and hang in there!

Yeah, when I walk my dog past someone smoking on their patio

I want to take a big huff and get a secondhand buzz. I also notice how I can smell it from like 100 feet away already. Luckily I never smoked in the car I have now.

I'm trying the same thing

The thing is, I only smoke when I drink. When I’m not drinking (rather heavily) I have absolutely no desire for a cigarette whatsoever and actually find them repulsive. So it’s easy during the day. But if I’m out at a bar or something, six or more beers in, I WANT A CIGARETTE more than life itself. It’s Pavlovian

I overcame that by quitting everything.

Although I staggered them from hardest to easiest to quit. Cigarettes, then two weeks later pot, then a week later alcohol. Boom! Clean and sober.

This late in my academic career I'm only in like one class at a time

And research/writing the rest of the time. But that one class is Partial Differential Equations and it suuuucks. Midterm is Friday-I can’t believe I used to have to deal with 3-4 midterms in a single week. I guess I did have the extra stress of a little travel grant this week, but that wasn’t much. And it has roughly a 50/50 chance of being accepted, which is huge compared to the long odds of most grants these days.

Barca is my least favorite, but it's not as bad as Arsenal's away shirt from this year (or Liverpool's third)

I don’t know why gradients are still a thing.

I also assumed the sleeve stripe was blue on Arsenal’s shirt. Don’t they have blue in their badge or crest thingie?

and why would the socks be a different shade of blue, that doesn’t appear anywhere else on the kit?
