14 September 2007 - 23:39The Impossible Quiz- hints!

The Impossible Quiz is an amusing, annoying, silly and addictive flash quiz game. Here are hints for numbers four through forty-eight. You’re on your own for the first few so you can get a feel for it. I’ll post more hints soon, but right now I can’t get past 59. I’m not sure how far it goes, but I’m guessing 100.

4 literally

5 careful mousing
6 a square route is a related smaller thingy
7 not what your first or second guess would be
8 mouse around
9 you see why I made you figure it out on your own?
10 say it aloud
11 what’s the second thing after December?
12 mouse around and find the smallest one you can click on
13 if you’ve had the sound on this should be clear
14 more light
15 spell it out
16 like #11
17 like #12
18 what can you stop time with?
19 “BOGGY” is a code
20 absurdist answer
21 pay attention
22 not all of them work… play it safe
23 absurdist answer
24 move mouse fast back and forth over the colors to see the instructions
25 absurdist answer, I don’t get it
26 it’s definately not in Britain
27 well this clue should make it easy
28 say ‘em out loud
29 absurdist nonsense
30 steady hand
31 watch the dog carefully for a minute
32 ’sham’ ‘poo’
33 ‘letters’ has more than one meaning, remember!
34 scared of the cursor too
35 wait for it…
36 literally
37 be confident
38 “pete and repeat sat on the fence.. pete fell off, who’s left?”
39 the one that makes the most sense
40 you can make a bridge…
41 absurdist
42 the most 42 of them all
43 makes no sense to me so no hint
44 my general tip for putting together puzzels: find the corners and start with them
45 Character Map is your best friend in this. 1 Indeed 2 W RONG 3 Whynot? 4 ROFL
46 in joke
47 careful mousing
48 in joke

13 September 2007 - 22:18hair color disaster

Well, it could be worse. It could be green.

The other day I was at Big Lots (a closeout store) and they had some boxes of Colorsilk hair color for $2. Now, I did think- there must be a reason why this stuff is here- but came to the conclusion that the product must be fine, either the colors were discontinued or they changed the box design. The color I chose was “Light Reddish Brown” the exact same color description of the Natural Instincts dye I have used in the past and been very happy with. The 6-week Natural Instincts won’t cover my grey hairs, though, so I thought it was time to move on to a permanant dye- and this Colorsilk seemed like the perfect thing.

However, the results were not as expected.

Before: slightly brassy for washed out Natural Instincts, ‘natural’ light reddish brown…

After: not lighter or redder! I guess they got the brown part right…

It looks nothing like the picture on the box, I took a picture holding it for comparison but it came out super blurry. I don’t think this is due to any error in my part… it’s been about 3 months since I last colored my hair, and I followed the package instructions to a T. I guess this is my payback for never doing the strand test.

It does, however, appear to have covered my grey hairs!

5 September 2007 - 22:55Meat Bingo

I just had to blog about this because.. there are no good search results for it and I think people need to know about this.

Today I was reading my friend Jawn’s Blog and saw a photo he had taken of a sign advertising “MEAT BINGO” at a VFW Hall- with an “Immediately Following Fish Fry” I had to know more.

Apparently it is exactly what it sounds like- bingo, with meat for prizes.

God Bless America!

31 August 2007 - 22:17I need one of these!

I sure hate it when my apples get bruised from kicking around in my bag all day. Luckily some bright crafty gal made some handknit Apple Cozys and put them on Etsy. Sadly the red one is already sold. I’m currently debating over teal or purple. Possibly I could make my own, but knitting is kinda a pain in the ass.

Excellent Apple Cozy.

30 August 2007 - 21:25new LN sig rules suck…

Livenirvana.com’s new forum signature rules are LAME. Avatars, images and such have always been banned from the board, and now users are limited to a one line, 100 character, default text size only signature. All these rules make it difficult to create a new signature that will be accepted.

I was thinking it would be a cute way to protest if everyone put a one-liner joke in their sig. Here’s a bunch of Mitch Hedberg jokes to get started with. And here’s a character counter so you can see if the one you like will be accepted.

An enchanting video for an enchanting song. She sounds like Shirley Temple and her lyrics are amazing. Her nose is cute too.

Meet the spawn of two hideous and inexplicable footwear trends, Ugg boots and Croc sandals! Thankfully they appear to be in kid’s sizes.
