I wasn’t very productive with studying today, but! My friend came over and she played the guitar for me, so I recorded a cover of Shawn Mendes’ In My Blood! I had so much fun! My friend also gifted me a set of pens; as you can see, they’re adorable with cute little quotes on them.

Also, the post-its are from the Bali collection, and it’s with the plant based adhesive and made from 30% recycled paper? They were 20% off in my local bookstore, so I picked them up cos I needed sticky notes and love the colors.

100 Days of Productivity - Day 70/100 March 11th, 2018

Here’s an old picture of annotations I completed a while ago. Today was a really lovely day - I watched a history documentary on Netflix and completed some modern readings on the Romanovs (because I’m a major history nerd). Also, seeing as I just recently reached 12,000 followers on this blog (which is crazy), I was considering starting a YouTube channel. I would post study with me videos, study advice videos, book review and recommendation videos, maybe some lifestyle and gaming videos. What do you guys think? Would you be interested in seeing that kind of content?

the thing that saves this spread is that picture of Yoongi. it’s probably one of my absolute favorites~

fucking look at this shit though

The triceratops for instance, was also animatronic.

Motherfucker randomly started moving.

And i just googled malfunctioning t-rex and was not disappointed. Apparently in order to put the skin on over the steel frame a guy had to crawl inside the t-rex while it was turned on and glue the skin down. And if somebody turned the t-rex off or the power went out the guy in the t-rex stood a very real chance of getting mangled and killed by the hydraulics.

So of course, the power goes out.

And this guy is still in there gluing the skin down.

Apparently the way to survive getting sheered to death by huge sheets of metal while you’re inside a giant t-rex robot is to curl into a ball and hope for the best.

And this guy hoped for the best and got it.

So they got hold of some of the best paleontologists they could find and said, “We want you guys to take this tech that your labs could pretty much never afford and use it to build us the most realistic, accurate dinosaur models the world has ever seen.”

The paleontologists knew an opportunity when it bit them in the ass.  They plugged in everything they knew about dinosaurs, all the skeletons and their best guesses about soft tissue and all that.  And when they’d created those dinosaur models, they had the computer start moving them as they realistically would with anatomy like that.  One guy took a look at those walking t-rexes and velociraptors (really utahraptors, but whatevs, fam), and he said, “Wait a minute, I’ve seen movement like that before.”

He called up film of a chicken walking.  Everyone in the room said, “Holy shit.”
