HURRY UP THE CAKES!

Out of the Mouth of Babes...

2010-10-10T21:56:00.000-07:00

Today I showed my Tomorrow Bear drawing to a little boy visiting my uncle's sculpture studio with his parents. He was drawing a bear in a ski mask [that meant he was a robber I'm told] so I showed him my bear in a tutu. After that he was inspired to draw his ski-mask-wearing-burgler-bear in a tutu... thinking of a woman dancing.

And then a dog in a tutu... being laughed at by a reindeer [off screen to the right]. Because... why not?

Not long later, I was chatting with him and my friend/sculpture teacher David about various things, when I mentioned I had a husband. The little boy was genuinely shocked and asked how old I was. David laughed... alot.

"Almost 25" I said.

His jaw dropped to the floor. David laughed... alot.

"I thought you were 16!"

Again, David laughed.

"I know, I get that alot." Unfortunately I thought this was the end of the conversation, but he couldn't get over it and continued to look at me like I was an alien.

"Do you have a disease?"

I wish David could at least pretend he didn't mean to laugh so hard at me.

"No, just a combination of youthful looking genes and short genes."

David turned to him and said, "If you tell her she still looks 16 when she's 30 she'll kiss you."

Thanks David...

The Writers Are Watching!

2010-09-23T19:52:00.000-07:00

Watched tonight's season premiere of The Big Bang Theory. I started off rather pissy because I was feeling down and the last thing I wanted to see was Sheldon going on a date with his female clone. [ugh, another one...] But then I began to really enjoy it. It really wasn't about his relationship to Amy at all. It was all in how Penny took it and tried to turn it into something of a fun learning experience for Sheldon. As a result there was alot of great classic Sheldon/Penny dialogue.

Cons:

- A Sheldon clone stole his first kiss now another Sheldon clone steals his first date. I'm so jealous as a shipper...

-Penny pokes fun at Sheldon with an insult and he asks Leonard why she still comes over now that they're broken up. Wasn't it only like two episodes ago it was Sheldon doing everything pysically possible to remain her friend even though they weren't dating anymore??? He must've had a brain wiped... again. UGH THIS SHOW CAN'T DECIDE WHO HE IS.

-Why would Sheldon want to raise a child? Even an interesting potential super being? He would spend an eternity trying to plan how it would fit into his schedule and money limitations. And it would involve alot of physical contact and tedious conversations he would hate. Logic fail. Maybe if he said something about a full time staff of nannys I'd buy it.

Pros:

-You guys I'm serious, I think whoever wrote this episode read my one and only fan fic on the show.

*Penny convinces Sheldon to go on a date.

*Penny explains that she knows more about dating than him and he should take her advice.

*Sheldon points out that Penny is kind of a slut [not in those words], Penny doesn't take it well.

*Sheldon admits he took ballet lessons with this sister-- in the show he admits he did a hoe down with her.

*Sheldon realizes in the end that his mother would dissapprove of him having sex before marriage -- in the show he realizes she wouldn't want him to have a baby out of wedlock.

- Despite their occasional intentional insults, all of Sheldon and Penny's interactions were really cute and sweet. Nice to see Penny genuinely taking an interest in Sheldon's "love life" [so to speak.] and he has apparently been paying INCREDIBLE attention to hers. WOW. He knew every detail someone could manage from his perspective without actually being a peeping Tom or something.

- Leonard, Howard, and Raj. What can I say? They were exactly what they should have been. Away from S/P, and as the fun B-Plot. The ingredients for the best episode [*cough* "The Adhesive Duck Deficiency"] . Well, that and the ones where the entire cast is together the whole time [*cough* "The Work Song Nanocluster"]. It's when they break up into seperate groups where Penny and Leonard are alone at all when the writing starts to tank... How sad.

I really wanted an excuse to hate this episode and rule out watching the next few until Amy is gone, but I just can't. I wish I could quit you S/P...

Who does it like Jerry?

2010-09-15T13:37:00.000-07:00

I've been trying to think of comedians who remind me of Jerry Lewis. Most of the ones I think of are directly inspired by him. So I wondered which of the Jerry inspired comedians are the most like him? My mind is programed to think of Paul Rugg, who does a great impression of him, and has a really great, zaney sense of humor. But Paul is actually pretty unique, he's got a brand of humor all his own. [Not a bad thing!]

The comedian I decided is probably most like Jerry, is Martin Short. He also happens to do a great deal of Jerry impersonations--

--but all of his jokes, his energy, his face pulling gags-- all of it feels close to Jerry's.

Maybe there are others you can think of that I haven't. Please share!

I don't normally post those silly viral email things people send each other, but I enjoyed this one.

Cat Haiku:

You never feed me.
Perhaps I'll sleep on your face.
That will sure show you.

You must scratch me there!
Yes, above my tail!
Behold, elevator butt.

The rule for today
Touch my tail, I shred your hand.
New rule tomorrow.

In deep sleep hear sound
cat vomit hairball somewhere
will find in morning.

Grace personified.
I leap into the window.
I meant to do that.

Blur of motion, then-
silence, me, a paper bag.
What is so funny?

You're always typing.
Well, let's see you ignore my
sitting on your hands.

Small brave carnivores
Kill pine cones and mosquitoes
Fear vacuum cleaner

I want to be close
to you. Can I fit my head
inside your armpit?

Wanna go outside.
Oh, crap! Help! I got outside!
Let me back inside!

Cats meow out of angst
"Thumbs! If only we had thumbs!
We could break so much!"

We're almost equals
I purr to show I love you
Want to smell my butt?

Texas Twister - not as much fun as the party game.

2010-09-09T14:29:00.000-07:00

THERE WERE TORNADOS!
Not today it was yesterday, but still IT WAS DRAMATIC! OH THE DRAMA!

First, some parkinglots in Arlington flooded, you could only see the tops of cars, children and puppies were swept away! There was full pandimonium in the streets!

Maybe the last part didn't happen, but it was a strangley genuine flash flood in an area no one really expected.

It was the most rainfall North Texas has ever recieved in one day. Which is kinda funny, because Texas isn't known for getting alot of rain anyway.

This seems to be the only person who died in the flood, I feel bad for his family, he was so close to being rescued. [There's a good video link in the side of that page]

But the scariest thing about the flooding, was that the Trinity River was about to overflow! Why is that scary? Because it's the poopy river! It's well known for being a sewage dump, even though the bridge over it is a high traffic area right next to down town Dallas. Yes, because that's what we want tourists to think of when they visit Dallas. So-- RUN PEOPLE! THE POOP RIVER IS COMING TO YOUR DOORSTEP!

Then suddenly we had all sorts of fun tornado warnings! I'm not sure how many rotations or how many actually touched the ground. None were very big, but they were in strange locations. I was at work and by the time someone informed me there were tornados about, we were under a warning. By the time I studied the weather and figured out it was supposidly right over us, our warning was over. It didn't touch the ground, thankfully.

One formed right around this woman on the highway and knocked her SUV over! She had a toddler in the car, but they're all ok! Hurray!

Here's video one near down town dallas... wait, down town dallas? Seriously?? A tornado next to sky scrapers??

Get off the freeway people!

down town again?

Tour Texas! See the sights!

Haha, ok I'll stop that now. Thankfully my family and friends were ok.

I still root for Jim

2010-08-31T17:35:00.000-07:00

Last year my blog was all a-buzz over Jim Parsons, from my general love of/obsession with The Big Bang Theory, and from his Emmy nomination. [Wow has it really been over a year that I've had this blog??] This year not so much. It's not that I'm not still rooting for him though, I just became a bit jaded with the show during season 3. So many things were handled poorly and I'm not looking forward to season 4, but I'll probably still watch it.

That's not to say I don't still root for Jim, and I was so happy that he finally won that Emmy this year. [Take that Alec Baldwin! You weren't even nominated this year! HA!]

CONGRATS JIMMY PEA! YOU DESERVED IT!

So humble and down to earth! Few people in Hollywood like him... if any. I don't keep up with celebs enough to know.

If it weren't for his amazing work with Sheldon, I might have given up on The Big Bang Theory all together, but as I said before I will be watching season 4 [However begrudgingly]. I actually watched a bit of my DVDs from the 1st two seasons today and you know... even if the show just goes further and further down hill, I will always love these first two seasons, the show was just *that good*.

A Nostalgic Look Back at the Nostalgia Critic

2010-08-28T20:38:00.000-07:00

Came across this unedited interview between Benzaie and Doug Walker [AKA The Nostalgia Critic] from back in late 2008. Doug already had become a successful internet phenomena by then though I think he'd only been doing videos a little over a year and a half [maybe]. I'm pretty sure it only snowballed from there. I'm not certain what kind of figures he's making currently, but he doesn't do any other work outside of the site and recently bought a new house. So he has to be doing pretty well!

Benzaie Interviews Doug

I'm glad editing is his favorite thing to do, because he's very good at it. The Animanaics Tribute episode looked like a nightmare of epic editing proportions, but I guess it was all fun and games for him.

I've always wondered if things are just going to continue on the same way for him. I'd be happy to have new Nostalgia Critic episodes every week for many more years, but part of me wants him to have more fame. I dont' know that I necessarily want him to have a show on TV, but I'd love to see him interviewed on TV. (Maybe when Conan O'Brien gets a new show, he seems more hip than Letterman and Leno.)

I just don't relate to TV anymore. It's an internet world now, and they're still living in a world where being overtly sexual is cool and attractive. I don't live in that world, I don't find smut sexy or badly written TV shows entertaining. For now, I'll stick to TGWTG.com.

Expecting Winter

2010-08-20T10:12:00.000-07:00

I haven't written any poetry in a while. Let's see how this turns out...

Summer drifts by as a dream
Winter enters--swiftly on the wing
Ever present
cold as morning
Reality seems a bitter thing
Bright memories remaining sting

Hmm... More emo than intended. For some reason it feel like most of my life takes place in winter time, and summer comes and goes really quickly, so it really does feel weird for me to be outside in the summer time. Like it's going to be over soon. Like it's not supposed to be here or something. Which is odd because I live in Texas and really, how cold does it ever get here anyhow? And how excruciatingly long is summer in this heat? I'm an odd goose.

"Come Out of Her My People"

2010-08-16T15:46:00.000-07:00

No offense to Catholics, I don't hate you, but your religion was designed to be a substitute for real Christianity. Everything is substituted, you're even doomed to listen to a man [the Pope] over God's ruling [which he's already given in the Bible and over and over through prophets through history]. And I know many of you don't agree with this man, never the less, he really is representing what the Vatican is working toward.

I've done bible studies that showed they're going to be successful in controlling our government even more than they already do. Nice to see it's already out in the open what their agenda is... ~long sigh~ Just cling to God my friends, these apostate Christians and the Catholic Church don't really own this world in the end. Jesus will be back to reclaim it.

If you'd like to know more about why I think this way, please watch Dr. Walter Veith's "Total Onslaught" series or better yet, spend some time watching these videos at www.prophecycode.org. You won't believe how simple and clear the Bible really is. Don't let other people make up interpretations for you, the Bible gives you the keys to interpreting itself.

I apologize if you're upset with me for this post, but I feel it's important to talk about this sort of thing. The Bible even begs people in the end times to come out of the Catholic church, don't let her sins become yours. Revelation 18:4

Hey, there wasn't enough John in that third act! Wait, am I actually complaining? THAT WAS ONLY THE BEST THING EVER! Why didn't I do this sooner? Oh, man, that was too much fun! I'm dying over here! Oh man, I'm really exhausted... I need to watch it again!

Cryptic Gorillaz

2010-08-06T14:30:00.000-07:00

I think the Gorillaz themselves are purposely trying to make it impossible for us to decipher their lyrics. First of all, you can't understand them by listening. Secondly, they never have the lyrics printed in that nifty little booklet that comes with their CDs. It's filled with art instead, which vaguely depicts the message each song is giving out. Thirdly, there is no official place online to find the lyrics either, instead we're to resort to Google search which is filled with so many massively incorrect lyric interpretations that it can only mean someone is methodically going through each site and sabotaging them. Seriously. 100% of the online lyrics posted are incorrect. [At least this is my estimate based on what I've seen so far].

Who would do such a thing?

Who is it that wants the Gorillaz's message to fall into obscurity?

My guess is, the Gorillaz's singer/song writer himself. Damon goes on and on about how important his message is to communicate with people, but I think he's just trying to throw us off the scent. I've listened to your other bands, Damon Albarn! I can't understand a thing you're singing about in Blur either! I'm on to you! The people will know the truth!!!

WOOO HOOO!
WOOO HOOO!
uh... Cha... jumbo jet... it wasn't easy...
WOOO HOOO!
WOOO HOOO!

I think I understand why this song didn't get a proper title, but they still should've just named it the WOO HOOO song.

I will go on the record and say yes, I LOVE Avatar: The Last Airbender, and no, I didn't go see the TERRIBLE TRAVESTY OF A MOVIE once I heard how terrible it was. But man, there is no way that this will not be amazing.

Click dis --> The Legend of Korra

For those of you who never watched the series, some questions answered:

What is so great about that anime wannebe show?
--Yes. It looks like anime. In fact, the animation was outsourced to Korea [except for the mouth movements matching the dialogue, you might actually mistake this for real anime]. But it's done RIGHT. The animation looks gorgeous and the motion is pretty fluid. They style actually works rather well for the source material too. The different kinds of bending are all based off actual martial arts styles, which looks quite amazing when they're putting real force behind the movements to manipulate the elements.

[Here is a fight scene someone set to music]

Still, what's so great about it?
--The writing is spot on. Funny scenes are funny and very cute, sad scenes are actually written, directed and acted perfectly. [Aundrea Romano is a voice casting genius]. The plot, though it sounds generic and broad to have a kid who saves the world, actually gets pretty intricate and keeps you thinking. In fact, it's hard to skip episodes and still follow along, there isn't really a pointless filler episode anywhere [which is probably why it was hard to adapt to a 2 hour movie]. Even the episodes that seem to stray from the plot have some meaning that is brought up later on.

I bet it has the same old characters I've seen everywhere else.
-- Maybe and maybe not. Aang might seem like the usual happy go lucky protagonist kid, but he was raised by monks and has some interesting perspectives on things, especially considering he just woke up 100 years into the future from his own time line. Sokka is more than just comedic relief, and Katara even manages to stave off being bland for a straight man type. No one can ever claim that Toph isn't among their top favorite characters [maybe even in all of TV land], she's a blind 12 year old girl who can earth-bend [manipulate ground] and has a sharp wit and boyish demeanor. She can "see" through the vibrations of the ground she senses with her feet. At one point she even proves she's the greatest Earth bender who ever existed by managing to bend metal. And then there's Zuko. He starts off as a protagonist, but over the course of the entire series we watch him slowly become a new person with the help of his loving, wise, and often hysterically funny uncle. I can't even choose a main character in this series. I keep tettering between Zuko, his uncle Iroh, Toph and Sokka.

Comedy you say?
-- Yes. It is actually funny. TO ADULTS EVEN. [and did I mention it's adorable?] Even when characters make stupid jokes, it's played off well enough, awkward enough, that it solicitates a laugh for the sake of how cheesy it was. There are also many clever parodies of modern things that are shown in a way that makes sense for this world. For example, Toph participates in a contest between rock benders that is populated with many strange personalities you might find in the WWF, but of course wearing costumes that make sense for the Earth Kingdom to wear. You won't find them making references to actual wrestlers, or any such thing that might break the 4th wall.

Here is Toph's first appearance on the show in season 2 as she takes on one such wrestler-- I mean earth bender.

In closing, yeah this new series going to rock! Steam Punk city as well? Well that's different but you know what? Bring it on!!!

EDIT: I just learned that the thread for this show on Toonzone Forums is so huge it keeps breaking the site-- and that it's growing so rappidly it might become the largest thread in the site's history!

Y HELLO DERE FUTURE!

Uh, please make yourselves at home. Here I'll post you a nice comfy couch.

Sorry if the digital rendering makes it look like it has painful sharp edges, it's really quite comfy! Sit, sit! (But I don't recommend talking to the SIMS women, they're not very good for conversation.)
Can I get you something? A drink? We don't have alcohol, but we do have a bubble tea place down the road, that's just as good!

To celebrate my hubby is taking me to see Toy Story 3 tomorrow night. I hope it's as good as they say [I hate being dissapointed so often in the movie theater]. I think I will relate to it from what I've heard, I went through a quarter life crisis myself and I was pretty attached to my childhood toys/everything.

How'd it go at the Dentist?

2010-06-17T14:19:00.000-07:00

Funny you should ask title.

I was ok at first but immediatly after getting the gas I was increasingly nervous. I didn't feel anything they said I might feel, I didn't even think they were giving me any gas except that I felt nervous.

They didn't warn me they were shooting me with Epinephrin and when my heart started to race I had paranoid thoughts about those people you hear about that are alergic to anesthesia and die on the dentist chair. Once they explained it to me and it began to wear off I was fine.

Only half my face got numb but they started anyway, and time after time kept having to give me more shots and yes, even more epinephrin... yaaay. They chose not to give me any more gas, they asked if I wanted it but I really didnt know what to say, I'm not sure it did anything at all. After a while it felt like I couldn't feel anything except random freezing--sharp--shooting pains from time to time. Luckily the rest of my face and tongue were numb in time for it to be all over. lulz.

When they were giving me fillings they kept telling me to open my mouth, open it wider, open open open. I couldn't tell if it was open or not except that the wider it got the more my jaw hurt. It wasn't so bad though, mostly I had bouts of terrible fear and crying due to epinephrin but they were brief. I was really hoping the gas would make me silly and drunk. I wanted fun stories to share. Poo.

I was told I can only drink - not eat, so I went to Frutealicious and got me 3 drinks to tie me over. Oolong with milk [my fav], Thai and milk [my 2nd fav] and I decided to try a fruit drink, I think its Pinnapple something. But they gave me bubbles in my bubble tea [imagine!] and now im learning they can kill me so Im fishing them out.

I'm going to spend the rest of the day crying about how I wish I could afford this giant Yakko plushie someone linked to me from Ebay.

Vacate the Bible School

2010-06-14T20:33:00.001-07:00

So today was the first day of Vacation Bible School and man... WAS IT HECTIC.

People were still getting things ready at the last second, running around, every two minutes someone asked Roxanna how to do something or where something was, I'm surprised the lady didn't crack.

I was supposed to sit in the lobby and register people and get them name tags and send them inside, even that was a surprisingly confusing and long process. Shortly after starting though, Roxanna grabbed me, made me change my Egyptian robes into different Egyptian robes, handed me a folder and said, you read the bold part, but not this part I X'd out, and take this basket. And suddenly I was a team leader in charge of 4 9 year oldish boys and a couple of toddlers who luckily brought their mommys. NO PRESSURE.

So first up we were forced to sing and do embarrassing hand movements to lame music, oh joy my kids are already embarrassed and wanting to not participate. I got them to do it easily enough though. The screen that the music videos were projected on covered up the huge mural I've been painting for two solid evenings-- time well spent.

Then I put sashes around their wastes because each group has their own color-- and we were released to go to our next station. We sat on dirty blankets out back basically that was our station. Then we waited confused for orders, while I rummaged through my folder desperate to figure out what we were doing. I read the bold things, apparently they were going to be learning about Hope and how God give's us hope, and about Joseph in Egypt. Then handed them each a coin bag with Egyptian money in it which they can spend in the "market place".

Our next stop was a game which was awkwardly enough, barely set up in time for us to get there. Basically we wrapped two kids in toilet paper like mummies and had them race. Because you know, that's what they did in Egypt... they raced zombies... and somehow that has something to do with God and Joseph and hope, ah never mind.

The next place we went back inside [yay air conditioning!] to a dungeon to meet Joseph. He told us the story about how he wound up there-- his jealous brothers sold him into slavery etc. But then the guard said the Pharoah wanted to see him so we left... we left way too early. We stood outside the market place confused.

When we were finally in the market place my group kinda bumbled around a bit-- we went to the food stand and some of the kids bought snacks and water, we went to the salon and two of the boys got eye liner [one even got eye shaddow LMAO] and I think only one boy bought an Egyptian collar to decorate and wear. We went to the basket weaving stand but they wouldnt' buy one, then they seemed to enjoy the crafts area where they decorated a tiny sarcophagus. But ony a little-- and then let it set out to dry because apparently these are the EXACT SAME ACTIVITIES THEY HAVE TO DO EVERY DAY. That's right, they decorate a bit every day and at the end of the week they have spent 5 days decorating the same 3 items. :/

So for a while I was confused again, I let them roam the market place a bit, play a bit and then we went back to the blanket. Only this time the blanket was COVERED IN SPIDERS. So I shook them off and was shocked to see the kids didn't mind jumping right on it.

So while on the blanket I broke out my folder again and had the kids write a God Sighting moment on a sandy colored brick on a piece of paper. Basically ANYTHING that could remind you that God is active in our lives. It could be anywhere from a hug from mom, to a butterfly. ANYTHING. And two of my kids took A MILLION YEARS to write anything. I think they were trying to be negative, like they didnt want to be there-- even though they were laughing and enjoying eachother's company the whole time. Dorks lol. The funny thing was, this teenager who I thought didn't like me because he seemed so uninterested in Christianity when he was in my sabbath school classes previously-- kept talking to me and we had alot of fun. However he was kinda disruptive of our group and talked about inappropriate things with my kids, like violence, but luckily he said people killing animals was not cool. XD For some reason the little kids kept bringing up killing dogs... yeah. Eventually they wrote stuff and I realized right after they weren't supposed to do that until tomorrow, oh well, we had nothing else to do.

Then we made them fill out little slips of paper-- which were nearly the same as the bricks and they were told to take it home and write down a God sighting for the brick thing tomorrow lol oops. Then I gave them a coin with a bible memory verse on it, and immediately packed it away with their saches and coin bags for the next day. LOL I'm such an indian giver. [racist phrase??]. Then I had to gather the kids together to pray before we went to the "celebration" they didn't like that I made them hold hands but you know what? THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR NOT GETTING QUIET AND CLOSING YOUR EYES FOR PRAYER LULZ. Then I led them back into the sweet sweet air conditioning.

I think their parents were all lined up at the back of the room because we were running a little over schedule, but I'm not sure. I'd lost all sense of time by that point. They were subjected to another round of embarrassing music and movements and then embarrassing questions and embarrassing forced friendship-making with strange kids, and then released to go home.

I have no idea how we're going to handle the Market Place tomorrow, but there's going to be an actual bell to tell us when we're supposed to move to our next stations at least. I did have fun and I did joke around with the kids, which is probably why they let their talks get out of hand, kids get too comfortable with me. I'm not a good authority figure type XD. I think that teenager sensed it too, that might be why he wound up talking about movies and TGWTG with me... oh and puppies. XD

So tired and sore x.x

Tomorrow will be my last day because of work and teeth. I don't know if I'm sad or grateful I feel bad for Roxanna I hope there's someone to replace me.

Hey that's my left butt cheek!

My uncle was on the news yesterday showing off his neat Vaquiero sculpture along side his friend David Newton. If you'll remember, David is the one I was learning sculpting from. :D

Follow the Link for a video!

Yeah, that's a mighty fine left butt cheeck on that horse I helped with.

I spill the beans on Nostalgia Critic/Animaniacs and -Vlog Wars!

2010-06-10T09:28:00.001-07:00

Little did I know, Maz already posted a Vlog!

I'd like to see that flaming knife juggling.

Kickassia Bloopers!

2010-05-29T06:02:00.000-07:00

What could be more fun than the "That Guy With The Glasses" 2 year anniversary special, "Kickassia"?

Lots of things!

I mean-- The Bloopers of course!

This angers me...

2010-05-23T15:22:00.000-07:00

Why does this anger me so much?
Probably because there is no talk about art, or story telling, or the positive impacts the cartoons can have on children, it's all "money making machine".

For some reason, I thought I had posted this already!

Kickassia part 6

Slightly anticlimactic? I don't care, I'm enjoying NC's Daffy Duck impersonation. XD

Santa Christ liiiives!!!

And here are some bloopers!

They shot a feature length film in four days time and a few of them sustained some nasty injuries, but they all seemed to have had a blast, and the special is really well received. Congrats TGWTG!!!

Kickassia part 5

2010-05-21T09:37:00.000-07:00

I'm a little dissapointed Linkara didn't have a big reaction scene to Spoony becoming Insano, but at least he gets to outshine him in the end.

Kickassia part 5

Knock knock
who's there?
GUN!
*Girly Scream!*

The fight with Dr. Insano might not seem as epic as the build up but if you know the characters -- what else could you expect? Both NC and Insano are kinda pathetic wimps. I really don't know why the group thought Insano was a good idea, it's obvious he was going to be worse than dealing with NC and then Linkara would have to take out Insano, strangely enough that's not what happened.

Santa Christ! NOOOOOOOO!!! YOU'VE RUINED CHRISTMAS NOSTALGIA GRINCH! At least he died a good strong man... and 3 dimensionally. He should have been holding an Oozie :c

In loving memory of Santa Christ

Wow that's alot of cameos. "Obligatory" is an understatement, they really, REALLY needed to be in there. Go team four star! Go board James!

Go Linkara! I guess no one is really the "main character" of this movie. Snob had his moments and now it's Linkara's turn. I still don't see why they didn't get Linkara's strategies in 2 episodes ago.

And now for something completely different.

Kickassia part 4

2010-05-20T08:07:00.000-07:00

I'll be honest, I got a little nervous when it looked like this was turning out to be nothing more than a cheese fest. Yeah, it's still purposely cheesy, but part 4 went up a dozen octives in the cool department.

Kickassia part 4

Finally Nostalgia Chick gets to do something. And that something is try to kill Doug! Yay! Man I love her little Ashly Simpson get away dance HAHA

I feel like some of these scenes are parodies of movies I'm un-aware of. Like the night scene where Ma-ti comes in (what is that anyway? A dream sequence?). Feels slightly out of place, maybe it's leading up to something I dunno. I feel like maybe they're trying to get us to root for Nostalgia Critic again, he's been a jerk this whole movie. Maybe he'll redeem himself before the end. He IS the most popular character on the site. Doesn't make sense to have him as a bad guy. Well, Spoony might beat him in popularity actually...

Wow Cinema Snob can really act. I don't understand how he was banished from Kickassia but then he's not at the hotel when they meet there.

Linkara really slays me here. "THAT'S A STUPID PLAN!" "ARE YOU HIGH??" Makes me laugh so much it outshines Spoony's much anticipated transformation right after.

The interesting thing about this ending is that there is an ongoing thing with Linkara and Dr. Insano. They're mortal enemies, but Spoony and Linkara are good friends. So Linkara had no idea Spoony was Dr. Insano, but he just witnessed him transform. What a cliffhanger 8D

Kickassia part 3

2010-05-19T08:38:00.000-07:00

Every part seems cheesier than the last somehow.... I don't know that that is nessisarily a bad thing.

Kickassia part 3

Getting a little creepy there 3D Lee...

Uh oh, Spoony is in charge of science... it's only a matter of time...

Wow NChick as Sarah Palin... x.x Maybe I should have expected political satire

The scene where the journalist keeps asking Nostalgia Critic about taking of the world is their way of trying to get the "Of Course" joke out of the way that every one could see coming. Nostalgia Critic often uses a clip of Bison [the character he's dress up as and immitating with his voice]. The clip comes from the Street Fighter movie where Bison is wanting to take over the world, he turns and shouts "OF COURSE!". Everytime Nostaglia Critic is reviewing a movie where the villian wants to destroy or take over the world he uses the clip. It's actually very popular all over the internet.

Poor Film Brain, let him review something :c

"Today we're going to teach you the element of surprise. *SLAP* Surprise!" *slap* "...You're learning!"

I don't get why they're all worried he bought dynamite... isn't that the point? They were going to conquer all the neighbors of Molossia next. Were they expecting to keep fighting with just man power?

Kickassia part 2

2010-05-18T09:42:00.000-07:00

Even more ham&cheesy acting than part 1!
Spoony really is stealing the show here man, eat up that scenery boy, grab a spoon! [no pun intended?]

Kickassia part 2

Linkara is making a refrence to Spoony's "Strike Commando" review: "Do you want me to tell you about Disney Land? There's cotton candy in the trees! You can just climb up and have as much as you want! Take comfort in my masculine arms!"

Nostalgia Critic is dressed as Bison from Street Fighter: [His review of the movie]

It occurs to me this is designed more for pre-existing fans of these characters than it is for newer viewers... ah well. I'm a pre-existing fan so I don't care.

More Kickassia tomorrow and remember, "Pain is just God's way of telling you to try harder!" ;)

Kickassia part 1

2010-05-17T08:33:00.000-07:00

The week of Kickassia is finally here! I stayed up last night to catch it when it was uploaded, worth the lack of sleep, yes! I think if you're not familiar with the characters you might get a little confused here and there, but hopefully it's still entertaining:

Kickassia part 1

THIS IS GOING TO BE AN AWESOME WEEK!

Spoony, Film Brain, and Cinema Snob really stole the show man! I'm proud of them... well Spoony's been around but the other two are new guys. [Spoony is the one that acted all nutty when he was told he resembled a certain doctor. Cinema Snob is the guy that recognized him, and Film Brain is the terrifying little blonde boy who is much too happy to be there].

I'm still loving Cinema Snob's chemistry with the Nostalgia Critic. When I saw this sketch: [Disgruntled Mimes!] I knew they were an epic comedy duo ^^

Poor Linkara, it's ok we know you're not a Nazi... You're a NAZI! 8D HURRAY!!!

Kickassia!

2010-05-12T10:00:00.000-07:00

I've been looking forward to the Nostalgia Critic's 2nd year aniversary for a few months now, but now that I've seen the trailer--- I'M ESTATIC! I can honestly say I'm more excited to see this internet special than any movie I've seen in the past couple of years. [That includes you Avatar! >:|]

So my first reaction to the trailer was-- "OMG I CAN'T WAIT-- OMG NC IS DRESSED LIKE BISON FROM STREET FIGHTER--OMG IT'S IN 6 PARTS--OMG THINK OF ALL THE CROSSOVERS COMING OUT OF THIS!" But then I slowly realized something even more amazing...

Molossia is a real nation.

And that really is it's president...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Molossia

After said realization, my next reaction was of course, "OMG THAT IS THE COOLEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN!"

Unfortunately that dastardly president posted spoilers on his nation's official website
http://www.molossia.org/article202.html
WAY TO GIVE AWAY THE ENDING!

Now that I think of it... wasnt that what Paul Rugg wanted to do? Own his own little nation? He should team up with NC... and then betray him and take over Molossia. ^_^

Bear of Tomorrow!

2010-04-12T20:40:00.001-07:00

John P. McCann needed someone to do a couple of pics for a cartoon he was pitching called "Tomorrow Bear". His original artist left, so he asked me. My computer is really dead so I got the awesome tallents of TEH MAZ to help me color. She did a great job! He seems pleased with it, I really hope it gets picked up, it seemed like such a fun show concept: "Dancing bear by day--Crime fighting scientist by night!"

Here's our collaborative work ^^

Gorillaz and Damon Albarn

2010-04-02T08:22:00.000-07:00

Thanks to the new awesome Stylo music video I've gotten back into the band "Gorillaz" pretty heavily. [it won't let me embed the vid so here's a link ]

I've been trying to explore Plastic Beach on Gorillaz.com but I really fail at this sort of scavenger hunt stuff-- plus none of the games work on this crappy computer. However I do love that it has a knock off iPhone you can whip out and play nearly any Gorillaz song u feel like on it. *nerdy thumbs up*. Subsequently, I figured out the song "People" from the D-Sides album is like the epidemy of the Gorillaz's "sound" [not their best song, but if u were to explain their sound you'd listen to that one]. SRSLY. It sounds like 3 of their songs put together, and then as with every great Gorillaz song, the lyrics are just nutty. "People, people, everybody people. Everybody making their sou~~ou~~nd."

I've fallen in love with "Kids with guns" from the Demon Days album [which I own, yay!]. DAMON ALBARN HOW YOUR VOICE BE SO PRETTY?? Or your face for that matter?

Also I found this:
How Murdoc "met" 2D... in the face... with his car. XD

I feel like Plastic Beach really should have been done as a feature length film-- sort of Pink Floyd's "The Wall" style, a series of music vids connected together. I know it costs them a fortune to make all those animated videos, and that's why they never do a movie, but they really could do one in that format.. *sigh* I can dream... But I think secretly, they wish they could make it a movie too--

part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aw-p-m-Gxg4
part 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xHtx3DzRDc
part 4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNhSW5pWR-o

I listened to what I assume was ALL of the Plastic Beach album on the Gorillaz.com site. I have to say I'm not that impressed with most of it-- I hope there's actually more to it than what I found though-- anyway I think my favorite one is "On Melancholy Hill". Is it just me or does 2D seem to be very introspective and very focused on God and forgiveness in this album? ["Broken" and "some kind of nature"]

'Till we meet again

2010-04-02T08:19:00.000-07:00

My husband's granny died March 31st in the morning-- she went peacefully and everyone was dealing with it pretty well I think. We've had about a week to let it sink in that this was happening and we all got to talk to her at the hospital before hospice drugged her up, so it feels like we got the best possible closure that we could hope for. Thank you to all of those who prayed for me and my in-laws, and I hope to one day see her again in heaven :3

Seems like alot of the older people in my family/in-laws have been sick and in the hospital for various things. My husband's grandfather has water on the brain, so please pray for his upcoming surgery to go well-- and though my granny recently had a heart valve replaced and a quadruple bypass, she still needs surgery for two slipped discs --so please remember her in your prayers.

Maybe that's a sign to MOVE.

2010-03-15T19:06:00.000-07:00

Heard on the news last night, Dallas - FortWorth is the worst place in the entire country to live if you have seasonal/outdoor alergies... WELL CRAP. I need to add up all the signs that keep telling me to move the heck away from this city XD

Well we're not all bad, one thing I learned is that, even though we have some very dangerous neighborhoods-- racial tensions are much lighter here, because we all grew up mixed in together. Some ghettos like the ones in London and LA have certain streets that only people of a certain race are allowed to step foot on--trespacing races would be killed on sight there. But even in South Dallas we don't have areas quite like that. I'm sure outsiders are easy enough to spot though either way.

But He's A Magic Man Mama!

2010-03-12T17:26:00.000-08:00

Hey mouse-keteers! sorry I haven't been around latley, my computer is kinda completely dead... yeah. Also my husband's laptop has a broken "s" key, which is why I didn't capitolize the word "sorry" at the begining of the previous sentence.

Anyway, that's not what today's post is about. No, heavens no, that might have been down right entertaining, no we're not talking about that.

Have you ever seen those groupies/fangirls who are so obsessivly "in love" with a celebrity that it boggled your mind? How could someone go so insane over a person they've never met? Cry over someone who doesn't even know you exist? No, I'm not about to say I've become obsessed with an actor... I can however, better understand how someone might be driven mad over one now.

I was recently rewatching the movie "August Rush" when I realized I can not look at Jonathan Rhys Meyers without being physically pained by his gorgeousness.

... No seriously I didn't know that was even possible. How can someone be so pretty it actually hurts to look at them?? That's not fair!!!

Darn you Jonathan Rhys Meyers. What have you done to me... Darn pretty boys, making my eyes bleed [grumble grumble]...

My Father is dating my Husband

2010-02-28T16:20:00.000-08:00

It is a star crossed romance. Mostly because neither party is homosexual... well, at least I'm positive my father isn't.

He had him at "Watch Smallville DVDs with me" and I've not seen either of them since. It's been over a month now.

If only I'd dare to venture northward to the living room, I might perchance find them and make them listen to reason. But it is winter yet, and the warm glow of my HP monitor is too comforting to forsake for such a parlous journey.

A plan began to formulate as I spent these long winter days in isolation. I could win him back... somehow. He must certainly be tiring of Smallville at this point, the chance to watch another show he loves will draw him out! Then it hit me. "The Last Airbender" comes out this summer, and neither of us have watched "Avatar: The Last Airbender" in well over a year. It's perfect. It's full proof! But... I don't have money to rent or buy any DVDs, and I don't want to download them illegally. Fortune was on my side, for my friend had downloaded it to an external harddrive and was willing to loan it to me!

So far the plan seems to be failing. My husband didn't budge from the couch, too caught up in wether or not Lois Lane has secret feelings for Clark [though it's only season 7 and everyone knows she takes forever to come around to that]. Alas... perhaps if I watch the show loudly in here he will come. He might think he can have me wait on him, but if I start it without him he will suddenly realize he's missing out on a good thing!

If this doesn't work I'm not sure what options I have left. Maybe I'll pack up my PC and venture to a warmer climate. Some place where they sell bubble tea and have board games and free internet connections to amuse myself with...

2010-02-19T20:10:00.000-08:00

Sheldon has an arch nemesis. We've known this since Wil Wheaton appeared on The Big Bang Theory as an evil caricature of himself. But now it's official as Wheaton is returning for a second episode. A true nemesis is a reoccurring character, and from the way Wheaton tweets about how much he loves the cast and crew of TBBT, and the way the cast and crew of TBBT tweets about how much they love him, I suspect he will be a reoccurring character.

[The video won't let me embed it so here's a link!]

Shortly after Wheaton tweeted the news, "Evil Wil Wheaton" became a trending topic on Twitter. Over a million nerds follow Wheaton on Twitter-- and only nerds are online re-tweeting their nerd heroes in the middle of the day.

I hope Sheldon actually bests him this time, though the odds are unlikely. Darn Sheldon, you have to win SOMETHING once in a while!

Just updating to let everyone know my father came home from the hospital yesterday! Hurray!

Also, I got Rob Paulsen's autograph in the mail to my old address... and no one seems to know who sent away for it. Was it me? Because if it was me that had to be over a year ago... what's going on Rob???

Please Pray for my Dad

2010-02-02T14:12:00.000-08:00

My dad's knee was swelling up pretty fast last night. It was radiating heat and difficult to bend. He wanted to wait until it got bad enough that the emergency room would admit him. He mentioned it around 8pm. I told him if we pray for him and God heals him, he needs to come to church with me this week.

He said, "No that won't work."
"Well if you're not going to come either way, then yeah it won't. But if it gets you to church God will do it." [I think he'd still do it anyway, honestly]

I had my Bible study over the phone which ended at 9pm

"Dad I'm done, lets go!"
"No I have to watch The Big Bang Theory."

Our cable is out so he was waiting for it to come online. In the mean time he showed me this digital doctor that diagnosed him from just a few quick questions. [Accuratly I might add]. Once it told him it believed he had Cellulitis, it said GET TO A DOCTOR. So of course we waited through a few hours of hunting for The Big Bangtheory on illegal streaming websites first.

"Ok dad, lets go."
"No I wanna eat some pizza first."
[Sheesh, I'm the one who has to drive you old man, and I have work in the morning!]

Once my dad realized this, he offered to drive himself, but after seeing how much trouble it was for him to drag his right leg into the car, I knew that wasn't an option.

We arrived at the ER around 11pm. They admitted him pretty quick, I sat in the waiting room until 2am before they let me back to see him. While I was waiting alone, I looked up and saw a woman I knew from church starring at me from the other side of the window. She worked at that hospital and was just heading home. I let her know what was up, and milked her for some more prayers [haha] and let her on her way. Once I was allowed back, I lied in an uncomfortable bed next to my dad until 7am, when I texted my boss asking to take the day off. [Coolest boss ever]. They gave him pain killers and antibiotics and we chatted about all sorts of things. It was kind of nice actually. We tend to stick to our various TV and computer screens and not communicate as much as we should.

They finally got my dad a room around 8, which is not as nice as it sounds because I was so sleepy and I no longer had a place to lie down. As the nurses and doctor came in and out, asking him questions and squeezing his knee in what looked like a very unpleasant fashion, my dad realized something. Three weeks ago he skinned his knee when he [sort of] crashed his motorcycle in the muddy Trinity river bed... yeah mystery solved there. You HOPE that was mud daddy. [The river is known for being filled with human feces at night. You can smell it for miles.] Don't ask my why on earth he wanted to ride a bike there... I have no clue. He also once said he wanted to be cremated and have his ashes spread over there. I guess he had a lot of memories playing in the doody water.

I listened as the doctors explained that they wanted to make sure it didn't spread deeper into his knee, because it could cause joint/bone problems. It sounded like the permanent kind. My dad was quick to point out that his job entitles him to spend hours on his knees. I realized that my dad doesn't have alot of job opportunitys. This is basically it. And that worries me.

At 9am, realizing he was going to be there many more hours [They were going to call in a joint specialist] I decided to head home for some much needed sleep. [I think I only got 4 hours of it, but I feel okay.] When I woke up, I didn't get a call from him, and I couldn't get ahold of him so I assumed his phone died, or was turned off. My sister called me about 3:30pm to relay a message from him.

The doctor took a sample from his knee for testing and she's going to take another later on. They said if it is what they think it is that he will be there for three weeks at the least. [My first thought was about how my dad was excited about some new job and really needed to earn some money]. My sister was a nurse and she says any bacteria infection in a joint is like a type of staph infection, and it could be very dangerous. She said they have to keep him there to treat it regularly because he could lose his leg or even die from it being in his blood stream and not handled properly. I hope he decides to apply for disability. I'm kind of scared he will decide he's just getting too old and feeble and sort of give up on life. He's not often a depressed person but some of the things he's said in the past scare me.

Please, please pray for him.

Pray for him spiritually as well. He is very hard to witness to because he was a very well studied Christian in the past. Kind of like, you can't tell him anything he doesn't already know... I hate to use the words stubborn but, well, you've read how long it even took him to GO to the ER so I guess that's not shocking.

[I'm not trying to be shocking and artsy, I'm just not allowed to post pics of him to the net]

In other news:

I'm excited for this week's episode of "The Big Bang Theory", some internet friends went to the taping and it sounds like alot of fun! In order to solve a physics problem, Sheldon is going to wind up working at the Cheesecake Factory with Penny.

This clip makes me wonder though. Sheldon would never willingly break the law, but here he doesn't seem to care in the least. Maybe they're emphasizing how much nuttier than normal he's gotten? Leonard even sounds worried about him, calling him "Shelly" and actually coming after him for a change.

EDIT:
No sooner do I post this blog, 4 new clips came out for the episode

Dark Secrets: Inside Bohemian Grove

2010-01-25T10:54:00.000-08:00

Didn't know Alex Jones had this level of proof. I know Walter Veith does, he showed a clip from this video in one of his presentations, which is how I found it.

A dangerous cult owns our country, and pretty much all the others. I think Veith does a better job of showing his sources to where you can't deny so'n'so came from this cult or that cult. And that they really are cults, he has many of their books.

This video is in twelve parts, I'll just put part of it here:

[here they snuck into the parking lot and are going to pose as Masons from Texas]

Walter Veith had a great video where he showed how they used symbols from nearly every myth and cult relating to death, good and evil being flipped around [Kabbalah], and how it was ultimately Satan they worshiped. They believe because darkness was first and then the light was created out of it that darkness was greater, and that the devil has two sides, Lucifer the light side, and Satan the dark side. Like Pan and Panic. The owl at Bohemian grove is a god of wisdom who can see clearly in the dark-- knowledge of good and evil. They set up both sides of a confrontation, a "good side" and a "bad side" and push the people around until they can't stand it any longer and they get the new system out of it that they're wanting.

Sux don't it?

PeeWee the Barbarian

2010-01-21T19:27:00.000-08:00

Been a bit distracted, but my computer is finally functional again and just in time for the second half of Nostalgia Critic's Conan the Barbarian review!

I've been watching alot of PeeWee Herman lately, but I'm disappointed there is no where to legally watch his old show online. I really have to buy the DVD or steal it? I'm so broke! I'm really happy to see that he's out there doing his show live now. I won't condone masturbating in public but I do think it's rather tragic they later tried to accuse him of having child porn when he REALLY didn't. Also, if they don't want people to do that in the porno theaters, WHY DO THEY HAVE PUBLIC PORNO THEATERS AT ALL? Fail. It still blows my mind any time I see Paul Reubens not in character. Just staggering!

Nostalgia Critic just posted what he titled as a Trailer for his Conan the Barbarian review, but was actually a parody of the NBC Leno/O'Brien battle. You should check it out here! It's a couple of days yet until the actual review though.

A little Schwarzenegger trivia for you: Arnold and James Cameron both assumed Arnie would play Kyle Reese in T1, but secretly wanted him to play the Terminator.

I love that he didn't even question the director when he was told to punch in a car window. Maybe they didn't have stunt doubles, or props back then.

In other news, you can bid on me to draw fan art for you here, the money goes to Help Haiti.

Belated Arnie Post

2010-01-17T16:44:00.000-08:00

It seems even the TV knows it's Schwarzenegger Month, I keep seeing Arnold movies on. About a week ago there were like 4 of them on at the same time! All of these Arnie posts got me in the mood for some Terminator movie viewing. I own the first three, and I'm constantly surprised when I find there are people out there who have never seen a single one of them. I thought Everyone and their dog loved Terminator 2!

I wish there were bloopers for T2

"Because you're John Conner. DUH." Hehehehehe, so perfect.

This Parody is a little sacreligious, but it raises some interesting quetions. What would an artificial intelligence make of the Messiah?

My computer is still riddled with virus's and Malware for now. Pray for meh!

2010-01-17T06:17:00.000-08:00

Sorry for the lack of Arnie posts, my computer was attacked by Malware :c If only I had a software version of the Terminator. Hope to be up again soon!

Sorry I didn't post yesterday. Typically I assume Nostalgia Critic updates early Wednesday morning, but lately he's been updating late Tuesday night, leaving me with two Tuesday posts and nothing special to add on Wednesday. Ah well on to the vids!

Just when you thought Terminator movies couldn't get much worse

I can't see that one getting popular outside of America.

Just Do it, DO IT NOW!

Mentos!

Junior Review is up!

2010-01-12T19:21:00.000-08:00

The 2nd official review of Schwarzenegger Month is up already!

Junior!

I'm a little disappointed he couldn't think up ANYTHING for most of the movie and had to resort to gimmicks, but he still did really well with those. Class act Nostalgia Critic, class act.

I have to add a fangirl spaz:

He not only referenced Animanaics, he actually showed footage from it! And it was Yakko no less! I love him so much right now! I knew he was a fan before he ever talked about it-- something about him just screams Yakko anyway. Half the time most people can't even tell he's doing Animaniacs/Freakazoid references in many of his vids, but it makes me so ridiculously happy!

/fangirl spaz

His male powers were so strong he impregnated himself

2010-01-12T13:37:00.000-08:00

Its tough work meeting my quota of one Schwarzenegger blog post a day but luckily he's a super celebrity, and thus there is a never ending supply of fun to be had at his expense. For example, have you ever seen a man wrestle a bear?

Amazingly, I have found the source of Arnold himself! This man claims to have created the Schwarzenegger as we know him!

PS)
I've noticed Arnold is not credited on IMDB.com as appearing in Terminator Salvation. I guess because he simply wasn't in it. His CGI 20 something body was, but he himself was not.

Speaking of Austrians...

2010-01-11T08:33:00.001-08:00

Did you know there is a metal band out there who makes songs out of every single Schwarzenegger line there is? They're called "Austrian Death Machine", and though I don't care for the sound, I still find them pretty comical. [And yes, they also come from Austria, I suppose they worship Arnie there.]

Top Body Buildah

2010-01-10T15:55:00.000-08:00

Nothing particularly great to post today, but it has to say something about a guy that 3 million+ people are willing to tune in just to watch him work out.

To be honest, I find his body disgusting. He could crush me like a bug, but it's pretty gross. I guess some people find big muscles attractive, but I was always afraid one of those particularly round bubble-like ones were just going to pop one day and ooze out all over!

--WAIT DID HE JUST SAY IT'S LIKE CUMMING DAY AND NIGHT? DX OH LORD THAT'S SO GROSS, ARNOLD!!!

Shuwa-Chan!

2010-01-09T17:36:00.001-08:00

I'm not posting this to poke fun at Arnold. No, everyone ages and beauty fades and all that. Actually I wanted to point out that beneath the "saggy" surface, you can still tell he is a pretty powerfully built man. Just an older, powerfully built man. Body building really does wear you down, I think if he didn't "over do it" so much throughout his life he wouldn't have looked nearly this "bad".

I wish we could enhance that photo-

My appologies, you didn't come here for that, you came here for more Shuwa-chan!

Welcome to day... something... of Schwarzenegger Month! [Yeah I lost count, who cares! >:|]

Why is Schwarzenegger's Japanese better than his English?

This one makes me highly suspicious. Is that Arnold as our president?? Why does he have a clone asking him just the right questions? Why is he sending deadly Terminator robots to Japan? And I thought Bush and Obama's international politics were questionable...

I love this one because everything in Japan just looks tiny next to Schwarzenegger - teehee!

PS) The title of this entry is Schwarzenegger written in Katakana. The Japanese would pronounce it, "Shuwarutsenegaa". [ /Useless Facts ]

Yosh! Pui Puiiii!

2010-01-07T19:57:00.000-08:00

Before we get back to Schwarzenegger Month, lets take a moment to FREAK OUT!

I tried to bring in Arnold for an interesting Scharzenegger Month interview, but he looked busy so I kept my distance... and then ran as fast as I could straight home.

The Arnold Music Video

2010-01-06T20:53:00.000-08:00

I have this stuck in my head now, thank you so much Nostalgia Critic ;w;

Woo! New Review!

2010-01-05T20:28:00.000-08:00

Wow it's not even Wednesday yet, in fact it's not even 10:30pm on my clock, but Nostalgia Critic posted his first official review for "Schwarzenegger Month"!

I haven't seen it yet but I hope you enjoy his review of "Commando"!

EDIT:

ICE CREAAAM!
Wow that was better than I'd hoped! Giggled all the way through it, what a catchy song. Put tha cookie down! I wonder if he's going to use the same song for every Schwarzenegger Month review... hmmm...

Hurray!

2010-01-05T08:58:00.000-08:00

Welcome to day 5 of Schwarzenegger Month!

Here's a little something for you animation fans:

I've run out of older Nostalgia Critic reviews to share, but that's ok, we get a new one tomorrow!

Hurray!

Genius!

2010-01-04T20:55:00.000-08:00

Well it's a little late but it's still technically day 4 of Schwarzenegger Month. In a day or so Nostalgia Critic will post his first official review of the month, but for now lets watch his older review for the movie "The Last Action Hero"! I can smell the critic's angst from here, ahh... smells like sweaty Austrian body builder...

And now, for something you weren't expecting! An Arnold impersonation! No one has ever done that before right?? I know! How origional! Genius!

"I'M A COP YOU IDIOT!"

2010-01-03T18:10:00.000-08:00

It's day 3 of "Schwarzenegger Month" but the first official Schwarzenegger review from the Nostalgia Critic doesn't show up for a couple of days yet! In the mean time, please enjoy an older review he did of Arnold's movie, "Red Sonja" here!

[Pssst! In case you haven't noticed, in each post I hide a different link in Nostalgia Critic's name... yeah I know no one is paying attention to this blog, but I can still have my fun!]

Say what you want about Schwarzenegger, but he really knows how to pull a pretty good crank call. (In fact I had trouble picking one out of the veritable cornucopia of Arnold phone pranks on youtube.)

Who is your daddy, and what does he do?

Day 2 of Schwarzenegger Month!

2010-01-02T17:29:00.000-08:00

Are you still pumped? No? Yeah well I still am! So there! It's my blog I can post what I wanna!!!

No, I was just kidding please don't leave, I'll buy you a bike! ;n;

Ok, now we're cool? Good then. Lets watch Nostalgia Critic's "Jingle all the Way" review!

[[IT'S TURBO TYME!!!]]

"JAYMEH! NO!!! I WILL HAVE NO ONE TO EAT FOR LATAHAUGHALAUGH!"

In other news, I think I know why Arnold talks the way he does despite his voice coaches.

Happy Schwarzenegger Month!

2010-01-01T11:56:00.000-08:00

Oh, and of course, a happy New Year to you too!

Okay to kick off Schwarzenegger Month, we have rare footage of Arnold sharing his deepest feelings to a young boy. I will let the comments posted via youtube set up the mood first:

"Holy crap i did not know that was the meaning of life. Now i know. "

"Arnold should give this speech when he decides to run for president!"

"I think I may have actually shed a tear at his moving speech... "

"Wow.....the world finally makes sense."

"Some intimate words of wisdom from the Governator in top form & at his most eloquent & Shakespearian! One thing's for certain, he's a man of noble conviction, in his most Oscar worthy depiction! Hell, with a voice like that, filled with so much passion, maybe he can talk the World Bank into paying off all of Cal-ee-forn-ia's huge debt."

"He is one of the greatest minds of our time. We should all take notes and contemplate these words for it holds the secret of life. The best part is at the 45 second marker....nothing ever made more sense to me then the brilliant philosophy in this video. We should all thank youtube for allowing us to gain this knowledge that will allow the veiwer to live the rest of his life with purpose. I have a job interview today...I know exactly what to say now."

~sniff~
That was beautiful...

This Wednesday Nostalgia Critic posts his first Schwarzenegger review of the month, but he's reviewed some of Arnold's movies in the past already. I think I'll them on separate days between his new reviews to space them out a little. [I'm going to leave out the really awesome Batman and Robin review, because it doesn't actually star Schwarzenegger - but I'll leave the link here in case anyone would like to watch it anyway, cuz it's awesome.]

Okay I'm going for now but-
I'LL BE BACH.

Excitment Mounting!

2009-12-30T21:34:00.001-08:00

Nostalgia Critic has declared January "Schwarzenegger Month"! This can only end well. Very, very well. I think alot of my excitement is due to the fact that every time NC does an impression of him, it sticks in my head and becomes part of my arsenal of bad jokes/Arnold impersonations... Yes that's right I do Arnold impersonations, doesn't everyone? I mean EVERYONE? Yeah. In fact people actually request that I do it, because they say it's actually hilarious. I think it probably sounds NOTHING like him, but I can buy that it actually amuses people, sure.

My love for Arnold impersonations actually stems from the amazing English dub bloopers of the anime "Berserk". Let's celebrate Schwarzenegger Month together shall we? Wooo! I'll start by posting the "Berserk" bloopers I mentioned, (even though they don't feature Schwarzenegger impressions until volume 4 - They're just plain hysterical anyway so I couldn't help but post them all), and who knows? Maybe it will catch on. Schwarzenegger Month! Tell your friends!

"I'm just a girl who can't say no" is ten times funnier when you know that in the actual anime he's admiting sleeping with a King for supplies during that scene.

"RAAAAAHN! GET TO THA CHOPPAAAAH!"
"PUT THA COOKIE DOWN!"
"You want to stick a knife in me? See what's going on in dere? AUGHLAUGHAAHUAH!"
"Come see my new movie! COLALAOUGH DAMAIJ!"
"I CRUSH you with my MUCLES!"
"Where is your DADEE?"

WARNING: This one gets kinda dirty.. yeah

"So, which one of you is Goku?" haha, one of them does play Goku from Dragon Ball Z
[Would now be a good time to mention all of these voice actors live in my metroplex? Yay Texas! I look forward to the day when I run into one of them in a grocery store or something.]

Wow, the actor playing Griffith can sing can't he?

AVATAR

2009-12-27T21:51:00.001-08:00

THIS IS THE ONLY THING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE MOVIE AVATAR.

OMG FLYING-SPINNING LIZARDS!
AHAHAHAHhahahahahahahaha.. aaahhhhhhh.... GEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE TEEHEE! EHEEE! AHAHA, AHA, ahhh... PFFFT--BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!! ~inhales~ AW$R%$Y%^YHRS! I laughed for a solid ten minutes from the moment they appeared on screen!
"WHY HAS WE EVOLVED THIS WAY?"
"I'M SO DIZZY!"
"LOOK AT US! WE ARE DISORIENTED AND EDIBLE! EAT US! EAT US! EAT US!"
"WEEEEEEEEE!!!"
"WE ARE SO SILLY!"
I need one of them. For serious. They are too awesome. I will laugh all day long!

I'm serious about how badly I laughed at them. I couldn't breathe, and I can't tell you what was going on in the movie at that time. HOW DISTRACTING!

Christmas, Spiders, and Smurfy Cats

2009-12-27T14:30:00.001-08:00

Nothing special to report about Christmas, mostly visited my in-laws, had some fun being climbed upon by my nephew, until I was told he likes to "hump" everything and everyone, but in a non-perverse way. Even so, makes you not want to have him climbing on your face anymore after hearing that...

The more interesting news is that my father was bitten by a Brown Recluse spider a few days ago and decided this was not important enough to go to the hospital for right away, or even mention in casual conversation. Last night he told me about it and that he wasn't going to the hospital until this morning, so I called a friend and found a good remedy in the mean time. Much better than what he was doing, carving at himself with a knife and taking showers... yeah. Then this morning I found out it wasn't one bite, it was three, he was just too embarrassed to admit some of the bites were on his butt. [Oh father.] The hospital admitted him right away- gave him an anesthetic, cut up his bites, and drained the poison. He's sore but feeling good. He doesn't want to come see "Avatar" with us tonight though, because he doesn't want to sit on his keester that long I suppose. Poor fella.

David gave his ticket to my best friend Zeni so... Wee! Now I can watch "Smurfy Cats" with a friend! [lulz]

I'm still disappointed I didn't get to see my daddy whacked out on happy medication. Darn the luck! Darn, darn!

2009-12-13T08:56:00.000-08:00

NigaHiga has always been pretty darn popular, but I think the quality of his videos has gone up exponentially... that being said, he's still not up to par with TV or using any sort of budget for his vids.

I did really enjoy Ragina's encoded PSA:

Finally! Something I can post for Paul Rugg

2009-12-10T15:17:00.000-08:00

My glasses, having been on their last legs for years now, were REALLY on their last legs as of yesterday. So today I went to get some new ones. It's been so long [11 years actually] since I last had my eyes dilated, kinda fun! I got to wear these nifty shades underneath my classes that make me look like some sort of cool nerd who doesn't have to look cool in the least to be cool! Alright!!! I picked out frames almost EXACTLY like my old ones, so my mother and sister will laugh at me for years to come and sigh as they stare longingly at nicer frames they'd like to see me in as we pass the reading glasses rack at Walmart.

... Man I hate web surfing without dilated eyes, maybe this isn't as cool as I thought... ~squint~

Drifting Holidays and Productivity Levels

2009-11-13T12:23:00.000-08:00

For the first time maybe ever, Thanksgiving is taking place immediately after my birthday :0

Usually it's about a week after. Very strange those floating holidays.

I'm having a strangely semi-productive day today. I'm doing laundry but the dryer doesn't want to get the clothes dry AT ALL. What's goin' on!? I FINALLY got some bungee chords [to hold the mold closed] and poured some chocolate into my Yakko mold.. but now it's taking forever to harden up again... WHAT THE HECK KINDA CHOCOLATE IS THIS? [Kroger's brand milk chocolate chips] I started to doodle a little Sheldon/Penny comic to promote the up coming amazingly awesome episode, but I'm self hating over my art and quit for now. Now I'm trying to write out the jokes for my next Japanese lesson....

SEMI PRODUCTIVE DAY GET.

Trick or Treat?

2009-10-31T17:24:00.000-07:00

You thought it was going to be a trick didn't you? Well it was quite a treat now wasn't it?

This one is really smart don't you think? Who could kill a cute little Japanese woman dancing around like that and begging, "Spare me my life!"

Oh but the street runs both ways kids!

Because white folks have to prove they are just as lame.

[If your bored, I highly recommend doing a search for "I was robbed by two men" or "Take anything you want" to see a bunch of other bored people reenact all of these.]
