My friend Martin sent me a link to a page of Star Trek-themed ‘inspirational posters‘. Some of these are just hilarious. You can download larger versions too! I suggest you print them up and hang them around your workplace. Especially the first one… and Nomad. 🙂
I forgot to post this earlier, but my place of employment blogged about me earlier this week. Pretty funny really, this phrase was coined by one of my coworkers, Derek, my first week at SuperSweetCo (I'll continue using this pseudonym even though the link on this page links the two together). I thought it was funny when he said "Vanderzand that shit!" when referring to a page that needed some attention. However, I didn't expect it to spread like it did, and rapidly others in the company started saying the same thing. Very odd having my last name 'verbified'.
So I have a plan. It's not a very good plan, but a plan nonetheless. I plan to write about the various beers I've sampled over the past few weeks. This is above and beyond my minimal reports of previous beerfests, but to go into some level of detail of the beers I've sampled over the past few weeks… things Ive purchased from John's Marketplace, etc. I've been keeping notes. I swear. Side note: writing this to The Smiths song 'Well I Wonder'. What a great tune.
Among of the funnier YouTube videos I've seen in a while (right next to the Star Trek G4TV videos out there) are the Chad Vader ones. I had seen the first Chad Vader a little while back but this morning discovered 'Episode 2'. Watch them in order, they're pretty funny (if you're a Star Wars nerd and enjoy parody). If you haven't seen the Star Trek G4 ones, I highly recommend them too. Artwork, dope.
Tonight I spent a few hours with my good friend Snooks at McMenamins Kenney School. Had a good time chatting about books, movies, sci-fi television shows, and other nerd-esque things. Thanks Snooks for coming out and helping take my brain off work. 🙂
