New Year's Eve Festival 2010

Good! You're here. Now we can party like it's 1989! Welcome to the New Year's Eve Festival of 2010.

Before we see which stuff won "best of" let's take a look at what happened over the year, shall we? Well for starters, January 1st of this year meant we were 2 years closer to our imminent doom of the Apocalypse. I still don't believe that, which is why on the supposed 'day the world ends' I'm going to sing REM's It's the End of the World As We Know It.

January 5th, President Obama met with Security Advisers to discuss the failed Christmas Day bombing, AKA, the underwear bomber. Which led to the TSA's tightening of rules...

January 12th, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake wreaks havoc on Haiti. Poor Haitians. I feel sorry for what they went through.

On January 20th, Haiti was hit with a 6.1 magnitude aftershock from the previous 'quake. Man, those guys just have bad luck or something, because I don't know what's going on down there.

January 27th, the Apple company announces its iPad. Whoo, technology just got better.

And also on January 27th, Haiti get hit with yet another aftershock, this one measuring a 4.9 magnitude. What is going on down there?!

February 6, Herman the Snowman is built. Not really important in world history but Herman deserves to be recognized.

February 7th, Super Bowl XLIV was held and the Saints won against the Colts, 31-17. If you drove by my house, Herman was holding a sign that read 'SUPER BOWL XLIV!!'.

February 12th, an Olympic Luger is killed during a practice run. The Olympics started and lasted through the 28th, as did my insane social studies assignment.

February 27th, a massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake it Chile. They say weird stuff happens when it gets close to the apocalypse, right. Because this is pretty weird chiz. First Haiti, then Chile...

March 20th, the volcano Eyjafjallajoekull, in Iceland erupted.

April 20th, the Deepwater Horizon explodes and causes one of the worst environmental disasters in history.

April 27th, the BP oil spill reaches the size of Rhode Island, which isn't so big in retrospect, but if you are an oil spill, it's kinda a big deal.

June 11th, the World Cup "kicks" off in South Africa. I guess you could say they had a "ball". Soccer puns. Always fun.

July 25th, WikiLeaks publishes the Afghan War Diary.

August 5th, BP begins cementing oil pipeline.

August 19th, Operation Iraqi Freedom ends.

October 13th, 33 Chilean miners are rescued after being trapped for 68 days. I remember the CNN live feed of the last miner being pulled out in Social Studies.

October 21st, the Haiti cholera epidemic starts. What's wrong in the Carribean? Just... no...
December 2nd, NASA discovers new life form.

December 21st was the first solstice lunar eclipse since 1638! And my mom got pictures on her camera too. Well, you'd make your mom stay up at 1:30 am to take pictures of the moon if it were the first solstice eclipse in over 300 years and there's not gonna be another one for another 84 years.

RE: Claymation Attack

Yes I made this video all by myself using my cellphone. So that explains why the picture quality isn't so great. But look at how cool it is. It took me two days to make the little three inch figures and pose them just right.

Side Effects Include Nausea, Heartburn, Indegestion, Upset Stomach, and Diarrhea

Have you ever noticed the sheer amount of lawsuits over medicines that are supposed to help you but instead, I dunno, KILL YOU? If FDA stands for Food and Drug Administration, then my friend they are lacking in the drug part. I just saw a commercial that said, "Call this number if you or a loved one has taken this medicine and has been diagnosed with these diseases or have had death." OK, first, you can't call if you are DEAD, so that statement is kinda redundant. But you can call if a loved one has died. So....not so redundant. Heh.

I've seen 15 different commercials like these and it makes me wonder why the FDA isn't doing anything to make sure people don't unexpectedly die from medicines that are supposed to help them. What are they doing up there, anyways? Playing online Poker and having tea with their FDA pals?

At one time there was this acne medication whose side effects were dry skin; feeling of warmth; irritation; itching; peeling; redness; scaling; temporary burning and stinging. I want clear skin, but I am not risking the medicine to peel my skin off. What kind of side effects are those? What happened to headaches, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness upon standing in simple medicines? GOD!

Making medicine requires using chemistry, right? Because this is an epic fail if 15 different law offices are offering consultation because of medicine. YOU FAIL CHEMISTRY FOREVER FDA!

3 Posts in One Day?! It Must Be MAGIC!

Just now, yes NOW, my mom's friends Jessie and Anthony and their 3 kids came over. I showed the littles Burt the Farting Hippo, whom the littlest one took and immediate liking to.  THEN Anthony showed us magic tricks, because HE'S A FREAKING MAGICIAN. Like really, he's a magician. He showed us card tricks, the fuzzy red balls, the one trick where you pull a ring off of a string, and the handkerchief trick. The trick that stands out the most to me is when he took the five of clubs, drew a magnet on the back of it, shuffled it in the deck a coupla times and BOOM seven of diamonds, with the magnet on the back. And I know what you skeptics out there are saying: He drew the magnet on before hand. FALSE! I'm the one who pick the seven of diamonds, and there was NO magnet on the back.

Now being the kind of person I am, I was both amazed and confused. I like everything to have an explanation. With magic there is no explanation. Which is why I was confused. I was like, "This goes against everything I was taught. There has to be an explanation." What I was thinking was, Newton explain this to me because I don't understand why you're torturing me with unexplanabilities!! My brother has one explanation: Chuck Norris. My theory: Things just happen; what the hell. Heh, heh. Hogfather humor.

It was a fun day.

Claymation Attack

I'm making a claymation movie using modeling clay I got from Santy Claus. It'll take a few days but when it's done I'll try to post it here.

The Cheesey Awards Special: Behind the Scenes

After going on for over a year, I think it's time I tell how the Cheesey Awards happen. The five parts to the Cheeseys are 1). nomination, 2). polling, 3). results,  4). commercials, and 5). Mr. Cheese's Fantastical Stunt. So, let the explanation BEGIN.

So, after I've decided the date of the awards, usually 3-4 weeks after posting polls, I have to decide what the categories and the nominees are gonna be. I already know that one of the categories is going to be Best Blog, because the Internet is full of blogs, but to be Best Blog, now that's something said author should be proud about. Other categories include Best Band, Most Random thing to Say when Talking With Your Grandmother, Best Movie, that kind of stuff.

Then after staring at the design main page for 30 minutes while figuring out the nominees/categories, I can make the polls. Sometimes I allow multiple answers, sometimes not. Few days later, if no one has voted, I'll vote ONCE just to jump start the voting.

Then the day of the awards arrive, and that leaves me with figuring out clever ways to introduce the categories and nominees. And not to mention finding a funny intro, such as my infamous 'cheddar than ever' gag.

Ah, the Rip-off Commercials. Making fun of everything from Snuggies to UGGs, Fushigis to phones, computers to every popular thing you can think of. Of course, we didn't always make fun of things (drink coca-cola; live life).Yes, endorsing Coke is what we began with. Did you know Coke started out as a medicine with cocaine in it? My, how times have changed... But the commercials are one of my favorite things about the Cheesey Awards. How do I come up with a spoof of a popular object? It's quite easy actually. 1). Think of thing to spoof. 2). Think of all of the good things. 3) Use those things against it. Like the ABC Robot is s'possed to be the HTC Droid. Droid has many cool apps. The Robot has cool apps that malfunction every time you try to launch it. The Droid doesn't do that.  In a world that doesn't, Droid does.

And finally Mr. Cheese's Fantastical Stunt, which didn't suck on the most recent Cheeseys. This area is completely out of my expertise so to explain the stunts is the Mighte* himself Mr. Cheese.
Mr. Cheese speaking: The stunts are what give the awards its pizazz. Most awards show don't have stunts, the Oscars for example. I don't know why people watch go insane to see them. There's no excitement for the people playing at home. But the stunts, get everybody excited to see or rather read what stupid thing we'll do.

Well, there you have it. A complete explanation of one of the greatest things about The Cheese Face Page.

Cheese Face out.

*As most readers don't know, Mr. Cheese is not human, but a Mighte about 3/4 of in inch tall. I won him at a local college's open house. He's the guy behind the suck of the stunt.

Bragging Rights

Hey, it's Cheese Face on Christmas Day. I'm blogging from a shiny new Acer laptop  netbook. You feel the jealousy? YA FEEL IT?!?! But this isn't the only awespic gift I got. My parents also gave me a Burt the Farting Hippo just like the one Abby Sciuto has. And speaking of NCIS, Santa-man gifted to me a shirt that says 'I (heart) Abby' on it. And my many aunts took it upon themselves to get me even more clothes, but they're actually shirts I'll wear! That's always good, you can never have too many clothes. And the other things this Santa person got me were books, Good Eats season 1 and 2, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog on DVD, Eclipse on DVD, AND stocking goodies.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Blessed Kwanzaa, and a happy new year.

Holy Crap! It's Christmas!

Yeah, I can't believe it. It's like yesterday it was Thanksgiving, it can't be Christmas. I love Christmas, but I hate it too.

For one, I hate Christmas carols. They're so annoying.  Once you've heard seven versions of "Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer", with one featuring an accordion (sadly, it wasn't John Linnell, lead singer of They Might Be Giants), you start to hate all Christmas songs.

Also, December 25 may not even be the day of Jesus' birth, according to historians.  For one, if it were December, there's no way that baby could have survived in the cold. And two, historians believe he was born April 25, because of the weather that was occurring around the time of his birth. Heck, they're even calling it 'Mithras'.

December came way too fast. I'm not use to it being THIS fast. It's not even snowing, something unusual for my part of the US of A.

Tuesdays Are SCIENTIFIC

Yes. My brother found this show on YouTube called Scientific Tuesdays, and it's awesome. Hosted by science nerd HouseholdHacker, aka Dylan Hart, this show shows you all sorts of cool science tricks you can use with household items and chemicals to impress family, friends, and maybe your physics/chemistry professor. Like, making paper invisible, making George Washington go "fappity, fap, fap, fap!", and so much more. You don't have to see the first episode to make sense of what's happening, but I should warn you that if you start with season 2 episodes, you'll be interrupted from regular programming because Mr. Hacker needs to advertise some sponsors so he can pay for chemicals, emergency room visits, and his rent, so he says.

Check it out. Just go to www.youtube.com and search Scientific Tuesdays.
