Hung Truong: The Blog!

Google Print!

I’m supposed to be doing research on a paper due tomorrow, but I was checking out this neat tool and I thought I would write about it, in order to procrastinate even more! Google Print is, as you may have guessed, run by google, and lets you search inside the text of books. So if you searched “get thee to a nunnery,” you could find all sorts of references to Hamlet. You can read a few pages in the book too, but they don’t let you read the whole book, which would be awesome. Anyway, I guess it’s a good tool for finding books, and also a nice tool to use for writing papers if you’re doing it last minute and you need some references… Oh yeah, about that paper, I guess I should get started, eh?

Oops I bought it again.

So seriously, threadless.com is freakin’ awesome! The one shirt that I really wanted them to reprint got reprinted! And I bought it! And just so you know, you shouldn’t start sentences with the word “and,” but this is a blog post so I don’t feel too bad in breaking that cardinal English rule. Anyway, the shirt is MP(3) and it has 3 MPs, and they’ve got instruments for weapons! Awesome!

Songs about Dustin Hoffman

So I got my iTunes $10 gift certificate from Blingo.com the other day, and I finally used it to buy some music. I was gonna buy a iTunes exclusive TMBG album, but then I decided on getting some albums from that band, Of Montreal, that I blogged about earlier. The albums I got are “Early Four Track Recordings” and “Aldhils Arboretum.” They were both only $4.49 each! The former has some interesting track titles. Here they are:

1. Dirty Dustin Hoffman Needs A Bath
2. Dustin Hoffman Gets A Bath
3. Dustin Hoffman Thinks About Eating Soap
4. Dustin Hoffman Scrubs Too Hard And Loses Soap
5. Dustin Hoffman Does Not Resist Temptation To Eat The Bathtub
6. Dustin Hoffman’s Wife Comes Home
7. Dustin Hoffman’s Wife Seems Suspicious About The Absent Tub
8. Dustin Hoffman Feigns Ignorance Of Missing Bathtub
9. Dustin Hoffman’s Wife Calls In Detective To Dust For Porcelain Particles On Dustin Hoffman’s Tongue
10. Dustin Hoffman’s Tongue Taken To Police Lab Where It Is Used As Toilet Paper and Reading Material While On The Toilet
11. Dustin Hoffman Offers Lame Possible Explanation For Missing Bathtub
12. Dustin Hoffman’s Wife Makes A Sarcastic Remark, Cuts The Head Off A Duck, Places It Where The Tub Was and Begins To Growl
13. Dustin Hoffman Becomes Indignant And Wets Himself
14. Dustin Hoffman Quits Bathroom And Climbs A Tree
15. Dustin Hoffman’s Children Enter The Bathroom
16. Dustin Hoffman’s Children Don’t Enter The Bathroom

Seriously, how could I make this shit up even if I wanted to!? Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), the songs’ contents don’t really have anything to do with Dustin Hoffman. Even so, the songs are pretty cool, and I dig em, so I’m pretty happy with my “purchase.” You should check em out if you’re weird and/or you like weird ass music.

Death by 'ffeine?

Death by Caffeine takes your weight and tells you how many ___ it would take for you to die from caffeine overdose. I chose TAB to prove this calculator wrong. I contend that one whole TAB would cause me to lose all will to live. This is because TAB is totally gross. Anyway, try this calculator out if you’re a suicidal coff-a-holic.

Blingo, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways…

Remember how I was blogging about that Blingo thing? Well today I actually won a $10 for iTunes! I was all, what the heck!? So anyway, I guess I read the rules wrong. If you sign up for blingo, I get your prize if you win, but not the other way around. Sorry if I seemed misleading. I was all happy for everyone who signed up as my friend too, but then I was all, oops, they don’t win. You should still sign up though, cause I want your prizes! Yeah!
