West Week Ever – 6/7/13

This week’s gonna be brief, as I’m Westing from the road. This post explains where & why.

I loved this video I came across on Facebook. Any kid who grew up in the 90s knows Jason David Frank, aka The Green Ranger. Well, they’re filming a special anniversary episode of Power Rangers in New Zealand, and several past Rangers have agreed to take part. JDF decided to film a video diary of the affair, and this is the first part:

Is it just me, or does anyone else get the impression that Samurai Green and the redhead (Lightspeed Rescue Pink) smashed that night? Pretty sure she put a hotel key in his backpack…

This was an interesting read on young atheists, looking at how they came to adopt that philosophy. Even if I’m not a great one, I’m still a believer, though I feel there’s some great stuff in this article for everyone.

Hop over to my Instagram, and see my Avengers Helicarrier pic. Funny thing about that. Back in this post you’ll remember that I was having trouble selling my Helicarrier on Craigslist. I guess everything happens for a reason, as I just couldn’t seem to move it. In the meantime, I decided to open e Helicarrier that I’d bought for myself. Turns out 1/3 of the parts were missing. All the missile launchers, stickers, and the instructions. Not there. I didn’t notice at first, as I didn’t really think about the stickers, but I knew I was missing the missiles. Then I noticed the missile launcher was missing from the pod module. I also found it odd there were no instructions, but it was fairly simple to put together, so I didn’t think much of it. When I was done, however, I also noticed there were flaps and storage doors missing. That was the one I had planned to sell! You can see that one on the right. I decided to check the other one, and it was complete, as seen on the left. I ended up keeping it and took the other one back to Walmart.

I had the pleasure of joining the guys over at the MadCastPodcast to discuss this week’s episode of Mad Men. We discussed Sharon Tate, dirty hippies, and cockpunches. Be sure to check it out here!

Cornell_Big_RedPosting from an iPad is a bitch, so I don’t have my regular collage maker. Since it’s Reunions, and it’s where I am as I write this, Cornell University had the West Week Ever.

  1. The article on atheists was interesting, but it would have been more interesting if he had collect survey data to quantify the reasons. The some and many seem wishy-washy, but then again I am a scientist.

  2. Will, how’d CU look in the rearview, compared to the upfront? Sorry for being so out of touch, but you know every successful blog has to have its loyal lurker base.

  3. Austin?! HOLY SHIT! Brenda and I were just talking about you! I demand an update via email 🙂

    Everything’s so different. I was gonna do a blog post about all the stuff that changed, but felt it might be too “Andy Bernard” of me. So many things gone from Collegetown: the bubble tea place, the rival pizza place in the old Wendy’s, Hong Kong Chinese Food. Meanwhile, the town has a Lowes, Walmart, STARBUCKS, and more stuff you’d never dream Ithaca would ever have. And the Commons are all torn up and look like the result of a Megazord battle.

    MVR is GORGEOUS, as they finally finished the new addition, and it looks like it was furnished by IKEA. Not the MVR you’d remember, although the old admissions part is still the same for now.

    How are you?!
