carusso's epic one-liners

this video is supposed to be very old, and i've seen it a few times as well. if you're a fan of 'CSI: Miami', you're probably aware that carusso's one-liners and the show can't live without the other. just sayin'. so here's to glorious facial expressions, camera angles and raybans..

(warning: some graphic violence in the video)

and of course, that video is incomplete without the other..

(warning: insanely funny person in the video)

hiyooooo!

hotmail came calling and told me i was dumb

i considered myself living under a rock for not knowing this, but i didn't realize hotmail could now be pushed into a gmail account. i'll be damned. since i'm on gmail like 24/7 and my whole entire e-life surrounds it (not really but you certainly get the point), this stuff is heaven. for those who has been living under a rock with me (hey neighbor, how are you?), here's the stupidest "how to" you'll ever come across in cyberspace.


how to push hotmail into your gmail account:*
go to settings, then click on the 'accounts and import' tab. now check out your first option within that tab and click that shiny 'import from another address' button at which, around .003 seconds, you will see a little window pop out. the rest is easy, just follow the instructions in that window thereafter and you should find your way to eden, even a 5th grader can do it. voila! it'll then try to import your previous emails in your hotmail account and if you have like thousands in there it'll take some time (don't worry, it's all automatic and you don't have to wait for the g-bots to finish). henceforth, emails to your hotmail will now be forwarded and pushed to your gmail account.

now i assume you can do this with email accounts other than hotmail. but i digress. and i care less if it can/can't. all i ever wanted was make my life easier and now it is. on the mobile side (read: iphone), i now have all my email accounts pushed (gmail, yahoo and hotmail) and not have to worry of having another spam email missed. click here for zing!

*subtitle fail.

the agony of defeat

of all things losing, i personally think nothing can get worse than going through a michigan loss (in overtime against a rival, no less).. it's like getting sucked into a twilight zone and you're stuck with lameness for the whole damn week. (insert vulgarisms here). but if there's anything positive to take away from last saturday, it's true freshman quarterback Tate Forcier, who marched the wolverines to two touchdown drives in the final five minutes to send the game into overtime, ON THE ROAD, and THROUGH DRIVING RAIN. he was just plain out phenomenal (everything else about the game, not so much).


may the Forcier be with you.
