Great Claims

1. In the scene created by Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater house in winter, its bleached colors, flowing movement, calm setting and elegant connection to nature illustrates an awestruck, majestic euphoria. - Feist-Fan

2. The educationally stimulating childrens' game Questionaut incorporates pleasantly jubilant music with whimsically quaint animation to create an inventively playful adventure. -Norwegian Wood

3. In this electrifying poster for the film 300, splashes of blood, open-mouthed screams of rage and anguish, and determined, hostile facial expressions, deliver impressive feelings of wrath, exhilaration, and bloodshed that are sure to be felt in the heat of battle. -InsideOut

4. The use of hierarchical depth, vibrant colors, varied expressions, and complete use of space in this movie poster for Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory augments the contrasts between the dignified, concealing Willy and the ancillary, exuberant attendees while presenting the whimsical story in a unique way. -charliebucket

5. In this shocking yet comically amusing video we observe an unusually grotesque reaction to some news that set a strange wild boy into a mystifying tangent of caterwauling violently. -The Ozone Lair


It's very tough for me to pick a favorite, but if I had to, I'd say The Ozone Lair's claim was the best. That video was full of lawlz.

This is me.

All Friday posts, in my opinion, should be prefaced with this:

Such a classy picture, no?

According to that oh-so-accurate (insert slight sarcasm here) personality quiz, I am personality type INTP, or an architect. I'm moderately introverted - no lies there; I'm pretty shy - and a very rare specimen of human. Apparently, my personality type makes up only one percent of the entire human population. Lolwut.

The rest of that analysis is all lies, of course. It says that I'm able to concentrate better than any other type, but I'm the worst procrastinator in the world. If I can start my homework at two in the morning and still sleep at least one hour, I'll do it. Therefore, final verdict: lies.
