Pants Vs. Sparkles

A few days ago I discovered "IRIS". which is androids version of SIRI. which is the Iphone app that answers you questions in a very HAL/AI sort of way. but with added smarm. think mobile cleverbot, with an actual function (when it's not being smarmy, IRIS and SIRI both do answer actual questions with accuracy)
there are a few websites popping up around that are showcasing some of the best answers to the ridiculous questions they ask.

this is my favorite so far







it's a really cool app to play around with. up until today, when I did the update to IRIS, it was mostly there for funny responses, and didn't interact with your phone much except for googling the answer to things like who won the stanley cup in 2006 (which..if you know me..then you know that was the year than my Oilers went to game 7 against carolina, and lost.)
SIRI is much more integrated with your actual phone, and will schedule appointments for you, text your friends based solely on voice commands and search out places to eat based on your gps location, that kind of stuff.
the new update to IRIS has now made all that possible with an android as well. making it kind of the coolest app I've ever played around with. it's a bit fuzzy on the details so far, like if I ask it to "Text Maps" it will send me to google maps. instead of actually texting the contact I have in my phone under Maps (ps. HI MAPS! ha)
but other than that..it's kind of bad ass.


in other news. I only have two days off this weekend. because of my shift trade last weekend, I now work on saturday. I'm not excited. I hate saturdays. the.worst.day.ever.
but on the plus side, not only do my copper and blue boys - aka the BEST FUCKING NHL TEAM ALIVE. face off against the clumsy tools that play for the city I happen to live in, but will never cheer for (that would be the shittastic ottawa senators) tonight in an epic battle of AWESOME vs ASSHAT, but it's also november 15.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT NOVEMBER 15TH IS???

no??
WELL YOU SHOULD.

because it's MOTHER FUCKING TWILIGHT DAY!!!!!


...yes I do realize that it's kind of sad that I hold trashy teenage sparkling vampires in a higher regard than Hockey. I'm a bad canadian. BUT STILL.

I'm holding out on seeing it until tomorrow so I can venture there with my Twimate Crystal. We've seen every one together in the last 2 years. and gotten the plastic collectors cups. so it's tradition we go again and get the cup. I KNOW HOW RIDICULOUS THIS MAKES ME SOUND AND I DON'T CARE.


I shall commence squealing now.
and then sleep.
squeal. and sleep.
