200% KISS OWNAGE and other tidbits

I was talking with a friend of mine the other day while trying to decide what picture I should put up on the csme site. I showed him 4 pics, all varying in degress of rockingness.
1) I had my tongue sticking out going \m/ - total webcam fuzziness. Suiting for a VP Academic n'est pas? Seems not.
2) Halloween 2003 picture. I was supposed to be Twiggy Ramirez. According to a different friend that was in the picture too (dressed as a checkers board), I looked like someone from the band emperor...if only emperor had a female bandmate.
3) + 4) both pics from the same night at checkerface house. I was pretending to play electric guitar. I cannot play, I plonk, it sounds like crap. But that's okay. Air guitar, baby...air guitar is all you need.

So friend I'm talkin with evaluates these photos.
He sees the halloween one: "SO KISS FEEL D: - KISS feel will own all noobs "
Then guitar picture: "if that guitar look combined with halloween make up --> 200% KISS ownage"

At that moment, I had never heard such genius. I laughed...for a while. And told many people...but now I'm making sure everyone knows about 200% Kiss Ownage...as it will become part of my regular vocabulary. So when I say it, don't be shocked, alarmed, or confused...just nod in agreement.
Finally, one of the guitar pics was chosen.

Now onto other tidbits:
TA's in a slight funk:
Numerical Methods:
My general approach is to write the procedure on the board in a clear/more or less concise way, then show how to use it with the given examples. That part's good. yeah. The booboo comes when I explain. It's like when they ask a question, my answer comes out all wrong and confusing at first (I try to use the "mathematical notation as given in their notes). Then, I decide, HOLD ON MY PEOPLE, I will do this question first, and then if you are still confused ask me. Then it's all good...I'm somehow able to explain it ("yeah, dude, just...never do that for these kinda questions"). Is this normal? Or am I just a bad TA? :P

Tidbit 2:
Saw a friend on friday. Good times. Nearing the end of our encounter...she told me about this Talent Night her department is hosting in april. Her friend was thinking of doing something for it...but they weren't sure what. She thought maybe sing, but sing what? So I suggested, why not change the lyrics of a song to make it suit your field of study? Eureka! So that's what we did!
We ended up choosing the song "I still haven't found what i'm looking for"...and this was the result. (some of the stuff in there is Physical Therapy lingo...like OSCE's, rom's, mmt's. Dr. Penfield is a steep street, and osmer house is one of the mcgill PT buildings. (?) near the physio because it sounds kinda strange)

I have climbed Doctor Penfield
I have run to Osmer house
To learn how to treat you
Learn how to treat you

I’ve endured hours of class
I’ve endured many OSCE’s.
Many OSCE’s,
Only to treat you

But I still deserve more than this salary

I have touched many backs
Used my healing finger tips
That sooth while healing
Massage like no other

I speak the tongue of the physio (?)
I’ve held the hands of the injured
To help them to walk
They won’t face this alone
Mmhmm

But I still deserve more than this salary

I assess the wounded ones
r-o-m’s and m-m-t’s
m-m-t’s…
Yes I’m still working

We’ve come this far and we’ve worked our brains
Carried the books
With so much pain
So much pain
And now I’ll be leaving

But now I can see what I’m working for
And Now I can see what I’m working for
But I still deserve more than this salary

She's gonna show this to her friend tomorrow, or sometime during the week...if they actually decide to do this, I'm gonna be super happy and help them...hahaha. Le dude, slight excitement. >_>

After showing this to a fellow mech. eng. friend of mine, he suggested I write one for mech eng. It sounds kinda depressing. There's no way you can modify a Nine Inch Nails song without keeping the general mood. It's slightly embarassing...for some reason. I'll post it, and then end this long ass blog post (it's to make up for my lack of activity for these passed few weeks. take intermissions if need be)
I used the song "Reptile" because it sounds so mechanical haha. Now, this song doesn't express my exact feelings about the program (there are times where I've been frustrated, but overall it's been alright. I'm not that doom)

Books on my desk wide open to let the knowledge in
Sheets leave a trail of mistakes to show me what I've missed
Solving large equations to show where flow begins
Results from experiments produce these giant lists

Oh mech engineering
With your large course load
My desire or pain infliction
I am so unsure
Oh…
Drill it…

Teachers speak of the way in which things manifest
My head leaves from the droning sound of this torment
Give me something concrete to alleviate my bewilderment
Tell me, what is bending moment and shear stress?

Oh mech engineering
Epoxy resins galore
Lathes, milling and grinding
I can take no more
Oh mech engineering
Forced convective flow
Differential Equations
What else is in store?
Oh mech engineering
One more year to go
Leaving all this behind
To learn something more

AHHH, okay. Stop reading.
Now.
