Learn Na’vi

Na'vi from Pandora

So I’m quite the language nerd. If I could build muscles with words, I’d be like Arnold with a bigger vocab. No more “I’ll be back” but rather “I’ll momentarily return”. So, the past holiday I saw Avatar in 3D. It totally blew my mind, eyes, imagination and concept of movies straight to Pandora. It was the best movie experience I’ve ever had. Naturally, being a linguaphile, I got intrigued by the native language of Pandora, Na’vi.

Hahahahaha… woah just let me breathe here for a moment… wait… AHAHAHAHA. Hungary decided it is time to be very liberal and hold the first plastic surgeon miscreants beauty pageant. I reckon this is one of the worst ideas ever, don’t you think?

Breakups are Tough

breakup

Maybe you can only find this among deranged psycho kids, but some chick ordered a hit on their ex’s mom. I’ve heard of crazy stories, but this one is actually hilarious. The funny thing is, the chick came from a “top school”. Oh boy, I bet someone is disappointed in their child.

Ok, so apparently Hitler’s skull was found to be that of a woman. Although it might not be a direct relation that he was in fact a girl, but rather that his skull is still out there. However, I’m starting to guess that very former fact. Hitler is a chick: here’s why.

Message to my Future Self

Futureme.org is the probably the only service I know of that allows you to send emails to yourself INTO THE FUTURE. Ooogaboogaboogabooga. I found this site quite some time ago and immediately sent myself a silly email. However, I’ve now revised my email to my future self.

Ah, you gotta love awkward moments like this. I found an article on Gawker that shows the clip of woman that can’t read. In the 21st century, this is still a problem. It saddens me that with all the technology we have today that there are still women who can’t read the agenda.

Adventures in Greyscale
by Niel | Life | September 13, 2009

An attempt by Tom Gilmore/10k to document a life through a collection of photos. All photos have been taken with a Game Boy or “Pocket” Camera and converted from SRAM data into .BMP or .GIF images with the help of cheap third-party products and home-brewed software. (more…)

I Hate Spring
by Niel | Life | September 2, 2009

Drinking_BeeSo, the first day of Spring has just passed and with it comes all the joys of Spring… not! Of all the seasons in the year, Spring is a two week old leftover pizza: it’s gotten all miffed, probably has flies all over it and yet if you’re really hungry you would love to eat that pizza.

Merriman Fire
by Niel | Life | August 26, 2009

The other night after a celebratory afterparty with friends (whom some of them won a local serenade competition) me and a friend trapsied up Merriman Avenue; one of Stellenbosch’s main student arteries. At 3 0′clock in the morning we encountered this. (Oh, yeah I’m totally doing the “to be continued” vibe here).

Over-active Imagination
by Niel | Life | August 19, 2009

I want to how common this phenomenon is: an over-active imagination. I saw this submission on I’m So Nerdy:

I’m so nerdy, I imagine I have force powers when I walk through an automatic sliding door.

It got me thinking: I do that too! Even many other things that involve me living in a world not my own. Mostly I do it unconsciously, but sometimes when thinking retrospectively it is a little odd.  Here are some more examples. (more…)
