This week I’ve been incredibly entertained by something kinda silly. Earlier this week I googled “How to pronounce gyro” and I got this result:
The YouTube user Pronunciationbook made the video and he has a bunch of them that pronounce words. But that is NOT what I <3 this week. What I’m totally loving is the dickhead that made a YouTube account under the name PronunciationManual and he mispronounces words.
I’ve been LLOLing (Literally Laughing Out Loud).
Friday January 13th, 2012: I <3 PronunciationManual on YouTube.
It has been a somewhat hectic week and it’s been nearly impossible to keep my energy levels up this week. I was very happy, however, to find Portlandia on Netflix this week.
Portlandia is a sketch comedy show with Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein set in Portland.
If you get IFC or if you have Netflix streaming, I suggest you check it out. Some of my favorites are the “Put A Bird On It” people and the “Did you read…” sketch (YouTube vid below).
This week I’m totally in love with my new Kindle Fire. Love.
I’ve toyed with the idea of switching to electronic books for years, and I’m glad I went for it.
One of my main concerns was that I would read LESS but buy MORE. But I haven’t had to buy any books yet. I borrowed Chelsea Handler’s My Horizontal Life and I have used the free Huffington Post app to get some news reading in too.
I’m not really competitive…but I do like to challenge myself. And as you read, you can watch the “percentage read” increase. Last night I started the Chelsea Handler book and started dozing off around 30%…but I kept challenging myself to stay awake until 50%.
Nerdy.
I’ve only had the thing for a week, so I’m still learning about some of the apps and stuff. If you have any suggestions, let me know.
This week I’m totally in love with my new Kindle Fire. Love.
