Ah, spring. Nice weather. Classes slowly strolling to their end. Prefrosh descending on the campus. And hoooooly crap, a whole lot of events coming up! And with those events, some pretty intense publicity. The area outside the Science Center is basically a war zone for the pamphlet wielding minions that loiter around its entrance, shoving info about events into your hands left and right–ELEGANZA! SEXY DHALL PARTY! TOTALLY AWESOME LECTURE! By this point, I’ve become desensitized. I smile and take a pamphlet and keep walking each time (I take one every time it’s offered because I know how difficult it is to approach people with those darn things!).

Every once in a while though, a publicity initiative thinks outside the box and does wonders. Today, there were pieces of a mannequin strewn across the rocks of the Science Center. Um, the mannequin was naked and covered in paint and words and stuff. Pretty hilar, so thumbs up for Fat Men in Skirts, a “hysterical dark comedy” for coming up with this publicity idea!

Nekkid mannqeuin. nBD.

Also, there were water jugs on the Science Center lawn but…this clearly caught more of my attention. Bravo.

EDIT: *lady*

Just watch this. Hilarity.

…WITH A TWIST

FIRST OF ALL. ZOOLANDER 2. IT’S HAPPENING. I don’t know about you guys but when I heard this today I freaked out and immediately wanted to get a frap and go have a gas station oil fight. But to each their own.

Also, Canadians know how to celebrate a win. Too bad the Olympics might be punishing them for straight up busting out cigars and bubbly on the ice.

Speaking of the Olympics, a new London logo was just released and it’s REALLY GOOD. At least there are no subtle/strange undertones like the other one (it’s below the awesome one)…I mean, really look at it.

If anyone was near Mower A last night they would have heard my roommate and I yelling “SICK, OH MY GOD, SWEET, A DOUBLE MCTWIST!?” We didn’t really know what these terms were but she had a poster of him in her locker circa 2006 and I used to play Tony Hawk Pro Skater like it was my job. Well, it paid off for us because our yelling clearly led Shaun White to his second gold medal in a row in the Olympic half-pipes. Also, I would just like to point out that a) the faceplant that, that one guy had looked like it really hurt and b) why are snowboarders wearing jeans. Not bendy.

His hair so crazy. Anyway, America continues to do really well in Vancouver across the board. I asked my British friend downstairs how they were doing and he was unsure if they were even in it. Sorry motherland! Speaking of:

I feel the same way little one. The same way.

Hey, it is a party in the U.S.A. with all this gold. AMMIRIGHT?

Not a huuuge fan of Old Spice, but I just really like this ad. Just sayin’!
