Random Item of the Week 3/14/10 - 3/20/10

This week, the random item is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I picked this cuz' I watched a whole mess of Harry Potter movies this weekend.

Alice in Wonderland

'Sup people! I just got back from seeing Alice in Wonderland. It was a pretty good movie. I loved the part where the March Hare starts babbling something unintelligible and randomly looks at his spoon and says "Spoon!" Well, l8r!

A Math Riddle

What is the relationship between these numbers? : 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144
Comment your guess!

Tootsie Pop

I ate a Tootsie Pop and it took me 515 licks to reveal a sliver of the Tootsie Roll center! (Finally! Somebody knows how many licks it takes to get to the center!)

I'm Yours

I'm going to sing and (maybe) play I'm Yours by Jason Mraz (which is one of my favorite songs) for my school talent show. Here are the chords/tabs/lyrics:

e----7/9/7--7/9-----7/9-------------------
b----7/9-----7/9/7--7/9-------------------
g------------------------------8--8--8/9----

B F# G#m F#7 (repeat as needed)

Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
Now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and yes you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing
We're just one big family
And It's our God-forsaken right to be love love love love loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Do you want to come on
Scooch on over closer dear
And I will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I'm be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and yes you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
So, please don't, please don't, please don't
There's no need to complicate
Cause our time is short
This oh this oh this is our fate, I'm yours

Random Item of the Week 2/20/10 - 2/27/10

The item of the week for last week is durian ('cuz I couldn't think of anything else). It is a really stinky Asian fruit that, for some odd reason lots of people like the smell and taste of. It's so stinky a fruit that it is actually banned by some public places! (Eeeww...)
