Cure for loneliness.

I don't care what anyone says. Spring is not the worst time of year to be single, because winter takes the cake.

You know it's true. The cuddling by a fire. The walks in the snow holding hands. The wretched mistletoe tradition that truly only benefits the romantically endowed. It's enough to make you want to grab Jack Frost by the head and squeeze until figgy pudding comes out his ears. Or maybe that's just me. *cough*

Lucky for me (and you, dear reader), the kind folks at Biography have come to my lonesome aid. Thanks to this fabulous site, I have finally found my one....my only....my...

Dead Celebrity Soulmate.

That's right, just answer a few simple questions about yourself and your ideal corps--I mean, partner, and Biography will find you the love of your life that you missed by a century or so. It's just like the dating game, only slightly more morbid.

So can you guess my dead celebrity soulmate? Here are some clues he gave me:

The Book On My Bedside Table: "Teach Yourself Electricity and Electronics, 2nd Ed."

Fill In The Blanks: Youth and Beauty is sexy. Engineering a system by which one can deliver running water throughout an estate is sexier.

My Ideal Date Would Include: After a simple meal in my studio, you would disrobe for me and I would translate your beauty into sculpture. You would smile mysteriously at me, a sort of half smile that I'd have trouble interpreting. We would probably have to schedule several dates in a row for me to complete my tribute.

What a swooner, right? Okay, and maybe a fast mover. Any guesses as to who this bearded casanova could be? That's right! It's....


Leonardo da Vinci! No more lonely nights for me. I've got Leo. And the Priory of Sion.

Now it's your turn! Leave a note and let us know who your deceased soulmate is. As for me, I've got some digging to do.

The Winner

Hey, 'member when we had that contest? You know, back when we first decided we were going to do hoodies? Well, now that we have them, we can award the winner. Big Congrats to Danner Banks, who got a big fatty freebie hoodie. Here he is with his winnings and winning ticket.
So stay tuned, folks, cause theres more fun coming your way right after..umm..we post it.

Sweet mercy. It's the hoodies.

I think this may be our proudest moment ever. You've got to see these.

It's the Cecil is my Homeboy hoodies, and these things are terrific. Why, you ask? I think bulleted factoids are the proper medium in which to answer:

• It's cold. Really cold.
  
• These are really top-quality hoodies. We got the top-of-the-line ones, and these things are plush and warm. Really terrific.
• They're inexpensive for a good hoodie--$25. If we were in this for the money we'd be charging as much as the Bookstore. But we're making almost nothing on these.
• They're stylish. We wanted them to be something worth wearing every day, and goodness knows I haven't taken mine off since I got it.
• Cecil's awesome.
• Just like the t-shirts, they turn heads. It's like being John Beck for a day.
• I take back that previous statement about John Beck. He's cooler than I will ever be.
• This is a really limited offer--we only made 25. And there's three of us, so that's down to 22. And a few have sold already. So I wouldn't waste precious time, if I were you.

Click here to order! or go to the Shirts page. That's where they are.

Sorry for the mock-up picture... we'll get a real photo of these up as soon as we can. That really is what they look like, though--brown with tan, in the hoodie form that you've come to know and love. And they make me so happy. So happy.

Christmas Wish List

Well, now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, we all know what time it is. That's right, time for Christmas. So to get things rolling this Christmas season, I am going to give you a few of the highlights from my Christmas wish list.

Christmas Wish # 1: Scarlett Johansson

Okay, so maybe this one isn't all that realistic. But hey, it is Christmas. Miracles have happened before. Take "The Miracle on 34th Street" for example. Scarlett should be a piece of cake compared to that one.


P.S. I highly recommend The Prestige. Even without Scarlett it would have been a good movie.


Christmas Wish # 2: Alienware

Not quite (but almost) as sexy as the number one item on the wish list would be an Alienware computer. Maybe there are some out there that would argue that the money would be much better spent on an Apple, but they are wrong. An Alienware may not have iFilm, but in contrast to an Apple there are more than 7 programs in existence that it CAN run.

Christmas Wish # 3: Brand New

These guys just came out with a new CD, entitled The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me. If you were fans of Deja Entendu, I think you will enjoy this one also. I've listened to the CD, but don't yet own it, and thus it holds the number 3 spot on my list. My favorite tracks off of the CD are probably the harder hitting "You Won't Know" and "Sowing Season (Yeah)" but there is plenty of variety on the album.

Christmas Wish # 4: Airsoft

I was introduced to the world of Airsoft in the dorms my freshman year. My personal favorite is the Beretta 92FS. These guns can be a lot of fun, just don't shoot your eye out.




What's on your Christmas Wish List this year?

Top Reasons I am Looking Forward to the Thanksgiving Break

In no real particular order.
Turkey, Arizona, family, sleeping in, going to a movie on thanksgiving night, neighbors, leftover turkey sandwiches, my mom's stuffing, Black Friday sales at electronics and hardware stores, my nieces and nephews, two new nieces, and seeing old friends.

Your own favorites are welcome here as well.

Ideas

I'm going to just put this out there. Start now to think of ideas for shirt designs, because I'm thinking its time for another contest. I don't know how we're going to work this, but heres the idea.

1. You submit ideas for shirt designs, or the design itself. Must be BYU/Provo specific.
2. Visitors to the site pick from the best ones.
3. The best one(s) get printed, with a prize going to the winner.

What do you all think? Should we do this thing? Yea or Nay, ladies and Gents. I just want to make sure theres interest /slash/ see if you're out there still.
