Harajuku Hamburger

2011-11-07T02:19:00.001-08:00

I had to help the lackey at the supermarket deli measure a 1/6th of a pound. This is what I'm talking about some lackey who can't convert measurements has a job in a supermarket deli, and I don't? I stopped caring anymore and will do most anything for money. I've dropped my standards, morals, and dignity. It's really desperate and sad now. Nobody realizes how desperate I am not my parents, not potential employers, not people providing services in a community setting. NOBODY! Plus seasonal hiring is over, and I missed it! And I'm moving which adds more insult to try and finding a job.

Which leads me to another story I decided to try Jarlsberg cheese. I wanted to because Shirley likes it. I didn't like it. Well i ate it plain. It might taste different in a sandwich. I'm not big on Muse either.

I saw the commercial for Gwen's HL line at target. At first I thought it was a commercial for hamburgers. But then I heard the song "Harajuku Girls" play, and I thought "What a strange song to use to promote hamburgers"

Note to Gwen: If you ever do make a hamburger for a restaurant I'd buy one (I have a great name for it "A Little Something Refreshing")

I was politely asked to change some of my blogs. I took down all of the pictures. If there are more that need to fixed please let me know.

2011-11-03T01:37:00.000-07:00

I hate this new blogger interface!

Incomplete Comic

2011-11-02T03:26:00.000-07:00

I was going to make a funny Halloween themed comic and post it, but I decided not to. It was kinda mean. And it didn't flow through time very well. It started out as a 8 panel and then into a 6 panel. Even though I completed most of it 2 of the panels were unfinished. Maybe I'll come up with a different story to tell. I have quite a few Halloween stories.

For now just think of it as a "lost" comic.

I've only posted 2 comics so far anyway. Maybe when I have more time I'll make some more.

A Year of Planning

2011-11-01T01:34:00.000-07:00

Guilmero as pikachu! It was so funny that way he pronounced the name. It sort of reminded me of when the kids at school who spoke Spanish use to make fun of me for liking pikachu and yell "pikachuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

I bought some horror flesh! Nice! It's green, but that's ok. I really wanted white, but they didn't have any. I'm not going to complain since it was half price and I've been looking for some (not online) for a while. It says not to use it around the eyes and lips nothing a little black eyeliner pencil won't fix. What should I be? A witch? a zombie? A zombie witch? I have a whole year to think about it. There was some other things I wanted, but even though they were half price. I thought they were still too much. I wanted the French Maid kit (it's just accessories and not a dress). It was funny that there were some people having a conversation about buying a costume now and using it next year. I think that is a good idea if the costume is not too trendy.

I was funny when Brittany thought Rory was a leperchuan When one of the other students told him to go back to Mexico it made me think about when the kids in South park would insult Pip and tell him to go back to France. It was really gross when Brittany ate the planted candy bar out of the litter box.I was wondering is Sue against all of the arts or just the performing ones? Why doesn't she go after an art or ceramics teacher or something?

Pumpkin Kutter

2011-10-31T23:15:00.000-07:00

I have some screen caps from the old pumpkin kutter commercial. Which is also circa 1988. I begged my parents to buy me one. That thing didn't work. A kitchen knife cut better than that thing. Even if it was for children to use. As the commercial says: "It's great for kids' because it doesn't have any sharp edges." And it rusted few years later. Here is a link to an older version of the commercial. It appears to be from the early to mid 80s. I don't recall seeing it on tv back in the day. Last year I posted screen caps from the Pumpkin Light commercial.

The Price is Right had a funny 1970s theme episode. Drew had a "porn stache" and he was wearing platform shoes. Was that a nod at the show being brought back in the 1970s? At least they used some old music ques. All the audiences' and I guess cast members' costumes were provided by Party City. It would have been funny if Drew had worn one of those old 70s style suits Bob wore with the wide lapels. (which was the style at the time) At least there was not a tank top incident. I wonder what an 80s themed show would look like? I would hope the models wouldn't wear like tutus or something like that. It would be really funny if they wore pantsuits with really big shoulder pads.

I didn't do much this year and I didn't get to put my 90s girl costume to good use. Oh well.

2011-10-29T01:21:00.000-07:00

I gotta stop watching those Psych marathons on Ion. I had a strange Psych dream. Somebody was killing senior citizens on a women's basketball team. They were leaving strange notes that were written in algebraic equations. Shawn and I could not figure them out, but Gus could. After the women were murdered the murder would leave a homemade rag doll as a calling card. In the dream I was some kind of stuffed animal expert and Juliet needed my help.Lassiter was trigger happy as always.

I think I just put together parts of episodes I had already seen.

No McRibs!? WTF!?

2011-10-28T09:42:00.005-07:00

Ok so that place I went to where the manager wasn't there was a McDonalds.

Can you believe that they had no McRibs! The manager didn't order enough! That place is so poorly run good thing I'm not working there! RED FLAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait to move to another McDonalds that I hope is run better than this place!

Why can't I learn?

2011-10-24T22:49:00.002-07:00

I found a Denver mint penny, a lucky Denver mint. (don't say you didn't see it coming) When I was younger I interpreted that the song was about somebody being better than you, and you just have to accept it. I'm not really sure what the song is about? Does anybody know? I mean like a story from the band or something. Not what those people posted on songmeanings. I was gonna screencap the video, but I decided not to.

I have a soft spot for late 90s emo music.
The funny thing about Dan's novel on Gossip Girl is how it upset his family so much. I hope I don't have that problem. Maybe I should focus on school stories. Like stories about absurd sandwiches or really horrible school assemblies.

It's a Keyper

2011-10-22T01:22:00.000-07:00

I found a treasure in the garage a Keyper! A baby one. Baby Poke.

This was strange since I had a dream about Keypers a month ago, and I don't think it was because I was spending too much time on the internet looking up vintage toys. It was cryptic.

I ready have an adult Tango and baby Taps and Pearl from childhood. Taps is Tango's baby.

I'm going to pretty her up!

Cover Your Lying Ass

2011-10-21T23:15:00.001-07:00

When I call back the place on Friday. I was too busy to do it on Thursday. The person who was supposed to interview me "claims" they were there. Either that person was lying or the other employees were. Current employees don't want a strange threatening new person coming in. (not that I look threatening)

Somebody is lying

This was too much of a hassle, and I was just a potential employee. Imagine what it would be like to work there?

I just told the person I don't want to work there. Let somebody else get duped! It won't be me. I hate to sound like a job snob here, but this one needs to get passed by. I'm might be stupid and desperate, but I'm not that stupid and desperate!

Your worst inhibition's tend to psych you out in the end

2011-10-19T00:52:00.000-07:00

The title is from the Psych theme song, but the entry has nothing to do with Psych.

I had a job interview today, or so I thought.

I thought about all the bad job interviews I've done. Mistakes on my resume, not agreeing to relocate, not sucking up to my potential boss who obliviously wasn't paying attention to me and casually taking with other workers, not letting my potential employer keep my food handler card, not knowing what to do when children are running loose in a store, I gave a landline phone number, and I was really truly busy.

I could be the poster girl for bad interviews.

When I get there the person who is supposed to interview me is not there! Why scheule an interview with me and not even be there!? What the FUCKING BLOODY HELL!????

This one won't count since there actually never was one to begin with.

Candy Pants

2011-10-18T02:13:00.000-07:00

I saw a segment on the news about saving money for Halloween. Most of the stuff they said is the same stuff I say like buy only accessories to make a costume with regular clothes like buying devil accessories to go with red clothes. To buy Halloween things at the dollar store. One of the things they said was really stupid. They said to buy you candy on Halloween day, and to get any kind. According to them the kids don’t care about the candy. Huh?! When did kids not care about candy on Halloween? Kids always complain about what they get. Especially if the candy is not name brand. I hated getting cheap candy. Like those strawberry candies or Tomy candy. They said it didn’t matter if you didn’t even like the candy you bought. I might buy candy I don’t like if I knew somebody else I knew liked it. I don’t like Butterfingers, but I would buy a bag of them and give them to my dad. So if it was leftover I could give it to him. I want good leftover candy I would eat.

I wasn’t that picky as a kid about what I got. I didn’t care if I got things that weren’t candy like chips, pretzels, toys or pencils. I don’t like that ginger candy that comes in the red packaging. I’d get that a lot when I lived in a Chinese neighborhood. I remember one year my cousins Trick or Treated in my neighborhood and also complained about getting the ginger candy.

I remember when I was in 6th grade I wanted to pawn off my “bad” candy aka the candy I didn’t want. Two girls didn’t want the candy then they ganged up on me and poured the candy down my pants *shakes fist at them* They did it by the classroom door; the teacher came to the class and complained that there was a bunch of discarded candy by the door.

I was thinking about what happened to Dan in Gossip Girl by upsetting a lot of the people he knows by basing characters off them. I hope that doesn’t happen to me.

Shockingly Real!

2011-10-17T02:06:00.000-07:00

J-Pop America Fun Time Now was a great skit! It reminded me of people I've met. Actually there was a real similar local tv show I saw like this. The connection was uncanny. It reminded me of some people I took Japanese class with. I should post those old blogs in the archives. They referenced Candy Candy which is a real anime title. I've never seen it, but I know it's real. Plus one of the characters was dressed in a sailor fuku (uniform). It was Sailor Moon looking (red bow, blue skirt, red shoes)

The people who thought it was really offensive must be really uptight or something. I wonder if Goth Talk was deemed offensive back in it's day?

I thought the J-Pop skit was pretty funny, but not as funny as The Spartan Cheerleader skits. I would like to see the J-Pop skit as a reoccurring skit; personally see a lot of potential if written well.

Hello "Sexy" Kitty!

2011-10-11T01:29:00.001-07:00

I think my slutty Hello Kitty costume idea was used. It was mentioned in this blog. (please notify me if the pictures are not to be used. In that other blog)

This "Happy Kitty" costume is pretty cheap. It's only the dress, and I think the leg warmers. It doesn't even include the hat! It's sold separately! I'd buy the hat and the bag by itself. They are cute. That mannequin kinda creeps me out.

Disclaimer: The pictures I used on this entry are not watermarked and I forgot where I got them. The one with all the Hello Kitty costumes I got from a newspaper.

Commitment to Lack of Technology Skills

2011-10-08T23:07:00.000-07:00

Al Davis died and of course my dad was sad about it. I think my dad wanted me to leave the house for some reason. Possible for him to mourn?

He writes in "OAKLAND RAIDERS", just like that in all caps. Not "Al Davis death" or anything like that. As I sit there looking at what he put into Google I'm thinking "your lack of skills amazes me" He doesn't even know about the news tab in firefox. @.@ The one at the top of the page when you search. Or that the news section can be divided into categories; like sports. He still doesn't bother to read a whole website and just reads the summary. He still has trouble with double clicking.

And he had to watch all the different tributes on the different channels. I think I saw the CBS2/KCAL9 one at least 3 times. I could practically say it verbatim.

He wants to check my resume again! Why? I'm satisfied with it. At least it better than when he was just take copies of my resume to random people to evaluate it without me being there, or telling the person before they evaluate it that I have no work experience. Then he'll bring it back to me with something like "INCLUDE ALL WORK HISTORY!!!!!!!!!" written on it. What work history?

I Can Smell Rejection from a Mile Away

2011-10-07T00:04:00.000-07:00

I didn't get the job, but I thought I wasn't since I didn't get a call by Wednesday

I'm not stupid I know rejection when I see it.

Here's why I thought my odds at getting the job were slim at best: no experience (although in that ad they said that was not a problem), I was the last person called back (AKA bottom of the barrel).

The main reason I really wanted that job was to show financial aid about proof of employment or unemployment if it didn't work out.

I was told to call back in 2 weeks if it doesn't work out with the other people, but I'm not holding my breath.

I'm so sick of my dad telling me I gotta finish college. How? Pay for it with the money from the job I don't have, or with the financial aid I got rejected from? I just want to finish up to shut him up.

For him to Poop on!

2011-10-06T00:17:00.001-07:00

Conan was on Fallon. I thought he was blacklisted by NBC as a whole? Like Conan doesn't exist to them. He picked up the Triumph puppet. His old studio wasn't Fallon's, but the one used for Dr. Oz.

2011-10-05T02:45:00.003-07:00

Since Steve Jobs died the hipsters are sad. I should wear a really tacky outfit to commemorate his death. Damn I don't have any printed scarves or loafers.

I need to get out my LISA. J/K that was the only Apple product I ever used, and I used it in school. And then I thought about the Super Bowl and the wondrous ads. "Because 1984 won't be like 1984."

I feel like watching some Eureka Seven.

I wrote this on a PC which might possibly be riddled with viruses.

I'm just a Sucker with no Self Esteem

2011-10-04T00:01:00.001-07:00

Emma’s parents reminded me of my blond obsessed grandma. Preserving the red. Parental stress can drive any child to a “quirk”. I know when my dad pissed me off I do my quirk. It reminded me of this old self esteem quiz that I read in a magazine back when I was in high school that said you had low self esteem if you are embarrassed of your parents. Stupid magazine quiz! Look at this girl she exudes self esteem!

I'm not embarrassed of both my parents; just my dad. Although he has given me a wealth of materiel to write about.

Redheads will be extinct soon, so will the white blond haired blue eyed male. My dad is an endangered species. This is true I saw it on a reputable news program. Maybe I should put him on exhibit like in that Twilight Zone episode.

What Kurt told Rachel was a variation of the “whole lot of middle” speech. I still hope this isn't a Kurt-centric season like the last one was. He's been the focus in 2 of the 3 season 3 episodes. There were a few other references to season 1. Like the Asian vampires.

Giving Mike Chang some character development was nice.

I guess the new plotline will be dueling glee clubs within the same school? That's what it looked like in the previews.

As I was watching that show on prohibition in the US I was thinking "I'm glad I don't have to take notes on this right now". Too bad that is one of the non-marketable skills I'm good at.

2011-10-03T00:30:00.000-07:00

I'm sick! I'm so upset! I think it's because I rode the bus on Friday and I haven't ridden the bus in a while, so I haven't built up a "bus immunity". I wonder how easy it is to get sick while riding the bus? Somebody should to a study on that.

Plus my mom was making me stay up all week. If I'm sleep deprived I'm more likely to get sick.

It's a pretty bad timing.

All By Myself

2011-10-02T00:54:00.000-07:00

I really want to move away from my parents. It's a tier 2 level on my bucket list. I thought about it all by myself. I sound like a little kid who is trying to sound grown up or something. I'm off to put an oversized coat and some oversized high heels. I don't want any other family members meddling in this. This is between me and my parents, and they are cool with it. As a reward I'm going to buy myself a Sky Rocket pony, and a Lime Chiffon doll.

Here are all the benefits I see:
My dad won't be so nosy about my mail
I don't have to worry about his crabby cycles/fits
I can get an decent internet connection (a higher priority to me than to my parents)
I can buy the food I like and want (no more having to eat nasty fish patties)

Japanese Palate

2011-09-30T02:11:00.000-07:00

I got a call back! I never get those! I agreed to it before I was told the location. Stupid rookie mistake. The interview call back was at a different location than where I put in my application.

I was gonna have my dad drive me, but he was already super crabby and I didn't want to deal with it. It's the same as usual.
Dad: If you don't let me drive you. You're gonna fail and get lost! Don't complain about it!
Me: Fine! (thinking) I already had to endure a job fair with you yesterday.

The place wasn't too hard to find. The biggest problem was that I had to get up really early. I hadn't slept in for days. I did sorta get lost. (But I wasn't going to tell my dad) The map lied it looked closer on the map then it was in real life. Even though the map estimated it was 1/11th of a mile.

When I finally got there. I was still early. But listening to music on headphones in really frowned upon. I learned that at a job fair. :(

Here's how I interpreted it. They really needed another person for back up, and my application was at the bottom of the barrel. It made me think about my questionable membership in the Honor Society and how they needed me to help garden.

Who knew being unemployed and sitting on your ass watching UTB would pay off? Obviously the guy had really no idea what was being shown on the channel, but he works so, he's not sitting on his ass watching the channel. I mostly watch food shows anyway.

I was trying to figure out who this place was catering to. The Japanese? According to the guy the Japanese population spread out, and don't really live in the area. So they are catering to Korean and Chinese tastes since they are use to that type of food. I guess more so than a western taste. I have an idea for the place buy some ad time on UTB or in the local Japanese publications. But I didn't say that.

It was funny when he asked about anime. Since I put it on my resume because of that template I found on the web. If the resume did work I can't believe it did. Especially since it was "bad".

I'll know by Friday if I have the job or not.

Resume Toast!

2011-09-29T00:26:00.000-07:00

My dad took me to a job fair that was being held in the old district I use to go to high school in. When I read the paper they gave out before the job fair opened. I noticed it said "introductions" and "short speech". Knowing that this was being held at my old district no speeches are "short".

This one guy was trying to boost his cred or look like an everyman or something. Saying about how he went to the different schools in the district as a child/teen. And that he went to my former high school. He wanted people in attendance to applaud it. Because according to him "it's the best school around". Huh? :/ My old high school sucks they are not good. I wasn't proud that I went there. I would not applaud it. He also said he hangs out with his mom on the weekends who happens to still live in the neighborhood. TMI dude do I really need to know? As this was happening I was thinking "Blog in a bag! Slam dunk! This stuff writes itself."

It reminded me of when I was a junior in high school and my art class had to give a presentation about our projects. One of the principals or vice or co-principal (I forget which the administration at my high school was weird and never really cohesive) This person was no higher than a principal. Gave a speech for the art project presentation. I didn't see the need of it. It was just a presentation we did in the classroom. It wasn't an assembly or awards ceremony or anything.

Maybe they are members of Toastmasters or something. (When I was a freshman in college I thought Toastmasters had to do with toasted bread.)

I finally got my resume evaluated. With my input..sorta. Like always my dad kept talking over me. His bad advice was to use a bunch of stuff I did in 8th grade. He wanted me to put a club in high school I got kicked out of? He wanted me to make a resume like a writer. I'm not sure how that would work. I'm looking for entry level jobs. Non-writing jobs. I'll look for those after I get some degree.He didn't even want me to list that I went to high school and have a diploma. Of course I'm supposed to that is the highest level of education I completed. Sure I went to college, but I didn't graduate.

I was told to tailor my resume to every different position I'm applying to. That is way too complicated. I'll just sort of tweak it like I wouldn't send a food themed resume to an office job.

When I asked about providing a photo the lady gave me a WTH face. Even though I said "What if a really ugly person wants a job?" She told me since I'm not looking for modeling or acting jobs most places that require a photo are not legit. Well maybe a restaurant wants a really cute girl to cook burgers or something.

I personally think that too many non-job awards on a resume will make it look bloated. I was also told to get rid of hobbies. I only included that because I found it on a resume template.

My dad got mad because he didn't know what linkedin is. Why did he get mad when I said I wasn't going to do all the changes I was told to. It's my resume. I'm the one who's going to be using it.

The thing was mostly a bust. Most of what was there was agencies. I don't trust them. A lot of them just want your info. There were also a few MLMs scattered about. They didn't even have a map or diagram for all the places that were represented there. I shouldn't expect much since it was held in my old district.

He thought I had never been to a job fair before? What the fuck!? I've been to plenty at all the different colleges I went to.

And of course I got in trouble because my dad wandered off and couldn't find me. I hate when that happens! He blames it on me!

What the hell is a "dignitary senator" anyway? That title sounds made up. I even put it in Google with no explanation of the title. If you know what it is please leave a comment in the comments section.

Treasure Hunter Pony

2011-09-28T03:49:00.000-07:00

I did finally break the news to my parents about my flagged application I think it has to do with my last name I really need to change it. It's totally unlucky. Surprisingly they weren't mad. *phew!* -_-"

Remember a unicorn without a horn is a horse. Unless it talks then it might be Mister Ed. If it's a pony with no horn or wings it might be Sweet Stuff. She is good at solving riddles. I always thought pegasi and unicorns were different races of horse. Which reminds me: buy a Sweet Stuff pony. (when I have the money) She doesn't look a lot like her animated counterpart.

Why does my dad want to work on my resume with me now? He never cared before or knew that I made one.

I really hope the Conrad Murray case doesn't get blown out of proportion like the OJ case was. The OJ case led to the cancellation of a lot of tv shows because people were just watching the case.

I watched another Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills episode. The preppy guy kind of reminds me of Chandler a little. At least they don't wear their colors you know like the nerdy guy only wears yellow clothes because the outfit he fights in is yellow. I'm trying to figure out how many sets are used in the show. So far I've seen; Drew's yard, the coffee bar, the lockers, the place where they transform, the place where the bad guy is, and where they fight.

Subgatory is a funny show. I reminds me of the 2 years I lived in a place like that. It was a little different since people drove vans back then instead. (it was the early 90s) It was funny when the girl passed by the glee club practicing, and there was a guy in a wheelchair and a cheerleader.

Televised Teenage Angst

2011-09-27T00:26:00.000-07:00

I can't believe my dad got mad at me because an email I was trying to send wouldn't send. He was acting like I was incompetent again. It said that my email host could not find the address.

I've been trying to make a facebook page for my comic, but it's not going very well. I mean making the facebook page. I have a deviantart and twitter for it though. They are pretty sparse though. I might just delete the facebook page. Update: facebook page pending deletion. It's in the 14 day waiting period.

I watched all of the episode of Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills. I watched the first episode, and took some notes. After watching it the show reminds me more of Photon than Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad. It's got a bunch of loud music and slow motion scenes for no reason. At least Dic didn't waste the money on the rights to popular music of the time like they did with Photon. But when Dic made Photon they were a relatively new company. I think if I would have saw this as a kid I might have questioned the production values. It did come out when was 10. Is Drew (the blond girl) supposed to be adventurous or rebellious she was wearing a leather-like vest. The show did mix it up a bit by having an AA nerd character. He's like a mix of Billy from Power Rangers and Urkel. Dic also mixed it up a bit with SSSS by having Syd (a female) be the smart one. That was one of the things I liked about SSSS. It was the same thing with Gadget in the Rescue Rangers. I like to relate to the brainy girl character if the main group is of mixed gender. Except for Recess. I liked Gus the best. But not when the group is of the same gender like the Winx Club. Tecna is not my favorite one; it's Stella. The preppy boy is funny. He reminds me of a bit of Niles Crane, Calvin from Ghostwriter, and a character from California Dreams. The coffee bar they meet at is supposed to be like the juice bar from Power Rangers. Then I was thinking did they copy Friends? I think it is more of a coincidence since both shows premiered in the same year. The outfits they wear are totally Power Ranger knockoffs. They have a little bit of pro wrestler or American Gladiators mixed in. The masks totally are a Power Ranger knockoff with the silver lips and all. they have similar weapons. One of them has an axe and one has a lance. I don't think the show is a pure Power Rangers knockoff I think there is a little Saved by the Bell mixed in there and maybe a little bit of Photon.

I also watched a whole episode of Mona the Vampire. I still don't get this show, and I don't like it. I heard that she solves cases. I thought it was going to be like Miss Mallard which I really liked. I think Mona has supernatural powers or something like that. In the episode I saw she imprisoned a vampire in a comic book. It's funny because she calls her diary a "vampire diary". What is up with her vampire hair? I do like the theme song.

I was hoping to rewatch the Wonderful World of Oz, but I don't think that will be possible. I'll still try and record Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills. That is too much of a train wreck of a show not to watch.

Here are my colored in Benard comics. I colored them in with the crayon brush in Paint. I use to color my Benard comics in by hand with crayon. I showed the contrast between the pink and the blue bear.

Glee was ok I really liked when Will confronted Quinn,and told her to grow up. I could take a lesson from Glee. PS if anybody wants to use me in a campaign video feel free to contact me. But why was Kurt twirling daggers? It reminded me of the Ninja Turtles.

Things from the 1990s

2011-09-26T01:49:00.001-07:00

When I was watching The Monkees at 3:30 AM, and this totally ironic commercial for a medical trade school came on asking if the person watching is up late stressed out about not having a career. The reason it was funny was because it was shown during the episode "Monkee versus Machine".

I tried to watch this cartoon called Mona the Vampire. I don't get it. Is she a kid pretending to be a vampire or a real one? I fell asleep during it. Maybe I can watch it tomorrow.

I recorded Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters From Beverly Hills. I tried to watch it, but my mom was bothering me while I was trying to watch, so maybe I'll watch it tomorrow. I watched the theme song. That's as far as I got. From what I saw it reminds me of Photon. By the pure cheesiness of it. This was made in 1994? It looks like it was made in 1987. At least Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad had the Gridman footage to fall back on which made it a lot more like Power Rangers than this show. I really hoped that UTB would have subbed Gridman. It sounded interesting. Some of the plot lines of the episodes were very similar to the ones from the US series. Here's a SSSS fun fact the exterior shot of the high school that Sam and his friends go to is a shot of Toll Junior High in Glendale California. I know because I use to go to Mark Keppel elementary which is like across the street from Toll. But when I tell people I went to Mark Keppel they think I went to the high school instead. The high school is in Alhambra.

I attempted I draw some Benard pictures just to get a feel of drawing him again. It was hard for me to replicate the crudeness. I drew the first comics before I took formal art classes. I even tried to outline one of the drawings in blue because I use to outline my Benard comics in dark blue pen because I had a lot more dark blue pens laying around than black ones.

They got a little smudged. I used gel pens. I'll post colored versions I did in paint later.

Benard is Back!

2011-09-24T01:44:00.000-07:00

Back when I was about 11 I started making some comic about a bear named Benard. It was supposed to be Bernard, but I couldn't spell.

The problem with Benard was that it was too abstract. The comic dealt with things like relevant Halloween costumes, Benard's family and other stuff. I didn't make too many Benard comics. About less than 5. The 2 I remember making was his introductory comic and Halloween. I was really close to the Halloween one I thought it was really funny.

Back when I was in 8th grade there was an announcement that the school paper was looking for a cartoonist. I bought some of my best work to show the teacher in charge of it. One of the drawings I brought was of Minnie Mouse, and the teacher said they couldn't use it because that is a copyrighted character. The teacher didn't think the Benard comic was funny. She wanted a comic that dealt with school issues.

I tried to make it work, but it was hard. Benard is preschool aged or maybe he was in Kindergarten? He was no where near junior high age. He did have an older bother who was about 10, but the comic focused on Benard.

Originally the was pink, but I changed his color to blue, so people reading it wouldn't think he was a girl. He did wear a bowtie. He had a girlfriend named Bernia. I forget how it was spelled. I even wrote a song about Benard it was set to the tune of the English Beat's "Mirror in the Bathroom". It was pretty dumb. I wrote around the time I was getting into 2 tone ska.

Here is a drawing of Benard.

I'm not Inclined to Resign to Maturity

2011-09-23T00:33:00.003-07:00

My dad got let go from his job. It didn't work out. He says they wanted him to know things he's never done before. It was gone like that *snaps fingers*

My dad wants me to go to the mall and ask who is hiring. He is up to something I can feel it. I sound like Shawn Spencer. LOL XD ^-^

Maybe I should try and solve crimes instead. Too bad I don't have a grounded best friend anymore who drives a compact car. She drove a Ford. I need to buy some Mitchum and a pineapple.

Why does my dad get mad when I say places need retail experience? It's not like I can magically get some without being hired anywhere, and get a job. Stupid!

The last Price is Right clips of the week were Drew's first show, and the first playing of Any Number with Bob.

The end of All My Children was dumb. It was too Sopranos for me.

Jane vs Jane

2011-09-22T03:35:00.001-07:00

The clip was of the debut of Cliff Hangers. The debut of the big wheel which looked like one of those carnival wheels. It wasn't the standard one they use today. They were 2 clips I don't recall seeing before on an anniversary special.

I had this really strange Glee dream. It really made no sense at all. I hate when I have dreams that really make no sense. But it wasn't anything surreal though.

X Factor got bad ratings. I though it would have been bigger in the US. I hate all the sob stories, just get to the singing. I fell the US version is like the spiritual successor of American Idol or at least it wanted to be. Or maybe present itself as the antithesis? I think it's funny that they have the rival sponsors. AI: AT&T, Coke and Ford. XF: Verzion, Pepsi, and Chevrolet.

Maybe I'll go back to watching survivor I haven't decided.

Community was great it reminded me of something similar that happened to me. The writers must know me or something. It was funny when Abed was saddened by the ending of the British version of cougar Town. Which made me think I would not want to see an American version of Keeping Up Appearances. I'd hate to think what American Rose would be like. Elizabeth would probably be some loudmouthed lady. (Elizabeth is quite reserved) If anybody were to remake it keep the flower themed names for the sisters.

I'm having a hard time getting use to the absence of Michael Scott in The Office.

I can't get into the new Prime Suspect. It moves way too fast. I hate Jane's hat. It bothers me. There was a joke about Scotland yard. The cases are too short they are 1 episode long. It moves too fast. They use of too much American music in the scenes for no reason. The first case is different some children saw a killing there was no George and the sex dungeon. They did keep the charity boxing event, but they cut out the girly standup comedy by the men. I wish they would have kept the part about her dad recording the wrong program. She doesn't smoke.

But I have strange preferences in tv shows.

Japanese Literature

2011-09-21T03:45:00.001-07:00

I went to apply for a Japanese restaurant It was sort of hard to find it's located near a Japanese market.

My dad had a hard time finding it luckily I remembered what the logo looked like from watching their commercials on UTB.

After I finished filling out my application I checked to see if there was any interesting Japanese literature. Like free publications. But there weren't any I guess there weren't because it's close to the end of the month.

On The Price is Right they showed some Drew clips to mix it up. I was getting bored of seeing the same old classic clips they showed on the 25th anniversary episode. Most of the memorable moments would likely include Bob since he hosted the show a lot longer.

Better Than You!

2011-09-20T03:38:00.000-07:00

The Price is Right showed more classic clips. Today it was the infamous tube top contestant and the first car given away on the show.

My phone is finally fixed! It took them long enough!

I was working with that dismantled dress and trying to do something with it. When I tried to use it as a clown collar it looked like something from Pagliacci or a bib. I can't decide.

Glee was good. I'm still soured from season 2. It's official Sam is gone. Too bad Lauren quit the club too. I liked her badass-ness. I really wanted her to sing "Skintight" by The Donnas. Rebellious Quinn is funny. "We Got the Beat" brought back thought of mandatory high school "rallies". (At least math class was shorter on those days.) My high school marching band use to play that song. They also use to play the USC fight song. Go fig. *shrugs*. When Blane was singing Tom Jones my mom wanted to know if she heard Tom Jones. I wanted to Carlton dance. My favorite part had to be when Rachel and Kurt went to the mixer, and they realized those people were better than them. Then it made me think about the mediocre and crude "Benard" comics I use to make in junior high. I should bring those back. The crudeness in the art work has a childlike quality to it. I think I drew it when I was 11 or 12. Kurt for senior president? I hope this isn't Mary Sued out! pre-rebellious Quinn would have made a good candidate. From what I got from the episode grade wise was: Brittany, Santana, Finn, Kurt, Rachel, Quinn, and Mercedes seniors. Tina and Artie juniors.

The New Girl isn't that good. I kept feeling like I was watching a bad impersonation of Liz Lemon. Liz is believable. Jess is not, and been around a few awkward people in my life. I'm giving it one more chance. Other people are comparing her to Liz Lemon, so it's not just me.

I thought the September 11th joke in Raising Hope was a bit distasteful. I liked the part when the family seemed to recall different tv very well. Sounds like something I could do. Especially when they referenced Family Guy because that's what I was thinking.

Phone in a Costume

2011-09-19T03:17:00.000-07:00

My phone is broken again! It keeps telling me I need to buy more time, but I don't have to until October. I had to call 3 different times, and argue with 3 different people telling me the same thing. Just because your computer says my phone is working doesn't mean it is!

I bought some red skirts at the dollar store for a costume. They fit little kids, but I can alter them. I might need more though to accommodate my girth.

I stained my hand by accidentally touching one of those balls that have fake blood inside them. The ones they usually sell around Halloween. Whatever they use for fake blood stains your hands.

When I called the bakery to ask about the specifics of the position. The bakery told me they filled the position. There is no need to go. Now I can stay home and watch The Office.

I was disappointed that there wasn't much of a tribute the the 40th season of The Price is Right. There were only 2 old clips with Bob. One from the first episode he hosted and the debut of Pinko. But no footage of the disco ball.

I just hope Garbage is not covering "Poker Face" "Love You Like a Love Song" "Baby"

I dismantled an old dress. A really old dress from when I was a kid. It yellowed, but I think I can do something with it. ;)

2011-09-18T04:35:00.000-07:00

Garbage covering a Sunday's song (came to me in a dream) Which is nothing more than a hypothesis.

Jane lynch was a good host but not as good as Conan was when he hosted it. People say she is funnier than Lucille Ball, but I don't see it. I think Conan is funnier than Jane Lynch.

I think Modern Family is the Frasier of this decade.

I'm not Coming Home

2011-09-17T01:43:00.000-07:00

The cooler weather got me thinking about fall, the start of school, football season and homecoming. I'm not going to my high school's homecoming. Gosh no! It's been 10 years since I left the place. I'm just happy that I'm not in high school anymore, and worried about coming up with different "costumes" for all the theme days. The horrible and inexplicable themes we were presented with. Especially since my school had to come up with 2 different ones. Themes for the people running in the homecoming court and the other students.

Which got me thinking when did the tradition of "spirit week" start? The traditions of dressing up and stuff like that. I asked my parents and they had no recollection of it. Just a football game, a dance and a court. (They collectively went to high school from about 1965-1975. They aren't the same age either.) Was it like the 80s? Because I remember my neighbor had a float frame the garage. Her and other high schoolers would come to her house and build it. This would have been circa 1987.

If anybody has any insight on this please leave a comment. Thanks.

September Free Day!

2011-09-16T03:10:00.000-07:00

I got a free day! I haven't had one in months. I didn't do much. Slept in since I hadn't gotten much sleep in the past few days. I was going to work on some crafts, but I never got to. :(

My dad got a job! Maybe the good luck will rub off on me. Order was somewhat restored. He got a graveyard shift which reminded me of Everybody Hates Chris. Because that's what Julius the dad works.

I don't know why he got mad at me if I asked if he was a 1099er AKA independent contractor. Jobs that aren't 1099s are really hard to find.

Bleaker than Bleak

2011-09-15T19:42:00.000-07:00

So my application for school is still flagged until I can show proof of unemployment. I have no idea how I can do that since I never had a job to begin with. Doesn't matter I won't tell my parents, and they obliviously don't read my blog. ROFL! XD

I was thinking of 30 Rock and here are some job dealbreakers to me.

Scheduling open in person interviews and posting an ad for it the day before.

Telling people it's not a 1099 (independent contractor) when it is.

Having to use your own stuff to do the job, and not getting paid for it.

Asking for 3 photos or more for a non acting or modeling job.

Not getting paid for mileage for a job that requires constant driving.

A high turnover rate.

That's a job dealbreaker!

Babies and Nerds

2011-09-14T23:32:00.001-07:00

Cochran is a cutie. I like nerdy guys. I think it would be funny to date a nerdy guy and totally rebel against my dad. Not a bad boy they are too unstable. Not a jock, cause my dad is a former one. They would just compete against each other. I'm not sure if I can commit to this season. I might watch X Factor instead. I've been waiting for it to come to the US.

I didn't really like "Up All Night" the baby in that show is really cute. The only funny parts to me was when the dad was explaining hockey to the baby and when he bought the wrong cheese.

I fell asleep during "Free Agents".

Yahoo Answers Doesn't Count as "Experience" or "Qualifications"

2011-09-12T01:28:00.000-07:00

The Cookie Jar/This is for Kids line up looks pretty bad although I'm curious to see how bad Tattooed Teenagers from Beverly Hills really is. I wish they would have paired it up with Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad. I love that show it was so campy. Syd was my fave character. She usually wore hats. I might watch Mona the Vampire. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is not a bad show.

I plunked down another $3.50 on Glee merchandise. I bought the notebook on sale for half price, but why does the store have to stock the Glee school supplies next to the Glee DVDs?

I bought a pack of WWE trading cards for $1, but for some reason they smell like perfume or something. The bag didn't smell, but it did when I opened them. The cards I got were; CM Punk, Eve, John Morrison and Nikolai Volkoff.

They didn't call back for the Halloween store :( I guess being a Halloween contributor on yahoo answers doesn't count as "experience" or "qualifications".

Remember...

2011-09-11T00:22:00.000-07:00

It's been 10 years since. I remember it pretty well. I did mange to write about it in my diary. I was a senior in high school. September 11th is like Columbine in a way. Both events were tragic and I got the wrong info. In my time zone it happened early in the morning. At first I didn't know what was happening. My mom woke me up and told me what was going on. I thought she was joking or something. It was early and a long walk down the hall to the tv in the living room. I just turned on the radio in my room. It was hard to find the story. I ended up hearing an update on the Rick Dees show. I misheard the information and thought there were more planes headed to LA.

I got up to see what was on the tv. I couldn't stop watching it. It was addicting. I didn't know if there was school or not. When I called the attendance office I couldn't get anyone who spoke English. I went to school anyway.

When I got there I was asking around to see if anybody else knew what happened. My friend didn't know. When I went to school I was asking around about WWII and Pearl Harbor. I asked a few of my favorite former teachers if they knew what was going on. But everybody was too young to remember it. In first period we watched the news. Somebody in the class (not the teacher) insisted we watched Good Day LA. After first period I went to check on a different friend. In second period the teacher said she was aware what was going on, but we should work on our pots. (it was a ceramics class) In 3rd period we watched more footage. I procrastinated, so I needed to take my SATs soon. I was trying to fill out the form in class. Other people were telling me not to do it because all the planes were grounded and it would never make it to the place on time. This one guy in my class who was a conspiracy theorist said that America attacked itself. That guy was weird, and believed The Martix was real. He was a blowhard who had the answer for everything. I'm glad I don't see that guy anymore. I wonder why he was so popular? My French teacher didn't seem to care about it. At lunch I wasn't hungry, and I didn't feel like eating. I thought I should be nice to people. I was upset there wasn't a tv in my 6th period class. I asked the teacher what he thought about it, and how he'd rate it on a historical scale. I said I thought George W. was asking his dad for advice. Back then I use to confuse Gaddaffi with Bin Laden.

I wanted to watch Sailor Moon S on Kids' WB. I was sort of upset that I couldn't watch Sailor Moon. There was really nothing on, so I just watched old Saved by the Bell episodes. It was like the only thing on that wasn't coverage. It was the episode when Screech invents a pimple cream. I think I also watched some Sailor Moon videos.

Listening to the radio was strange. They were mostly playing Moby songs; like "Natural Blues". They said they weren't going to play songs like "Fuck Authority" by Pennywise. Loveline did a good job of covering it; like they did with Columbine.

Everything just felt dream-like.

Mundane Before the Terror

2011-09-10T15:11:00.000-07:00

I saw an ABC news story looking back on September 10th 2001. It was about Michael Jackson's comeback concert. It was reported by Peter Jennings. Both of which are dead. We were concerned about what Gary Condit did or didn't do.

I was very happy that Sailor Moon was on Kids' WB. they were showing the Cloverway S series dub. The Cloverway Serena voice is so annoying. It was worse than the Dic voice.Drawn on September 4th 2001.

I used my best Sailor Moon stationary to write a letter to my dead friend who was alive at the time. She said her stationary was more conservative. I had bought the stationary many years ago. (I think in 8th grade) My dad convinced me to buy it at a Hot Topic store.

I should watch the old video I made recording the episodes for nostalgic purposes.

The episodes they showed were:
Crystal Clear Again
Damp Spirits
Hello Sailor Mini Moon
People Who Need People
Related by Destiny
Art Appreciation
Mimet's Mess

I was engrossed my first week of my senior year of high school. With people and their crazy hair styles. Liking and disliking who I had classes with. Struggling with math from the beginning. A computer class I didn't sign up for that my friend had, and we would joke around in. My frustration with ceramics class, and working with clay. I like to draw. People who recognized me, and I thought they didn't. I felt like the chansey in the Pokemon episode "Ignorance is Blissey". Feeling shy in my English class even though my friend was in the class.

I remember Blink-182 had a concert scheduled for the next day.

Rockabilly Jim

2011-09-08T02:38:00.001-07:00

I went to fill out an application and be interviewed for a Halloween store.

The girl standing next to me was dressed in the hippie trend. She had fringe boots that reminded me of the ones Peter wore on The Monkees tv show. She also had a matching fringe vest. Love beads would have looked nice. You dig?

I stupidly forgot my pen. I had to borrow one from the hippie dressed girl. I did bring a clip board which I was instructed to. So I said she could used my clip board in exchange for the pen. And she did.

It took such a long time! Two and a half hours long! It reminded me of the celebrity signings I went to. Except there was no reward of meeting a celebrity at the end of the line. I was so tempted to call for a pizza to deliver to me at the line. (Somebody did this when I went to Golden Apple) They were taking people in 2 by 2. And there was a huge line!

I took a seat and sat in a strange position not because I was nervous, but because my back was sore.

There were 2 managers. The first guy did not speak properly. He kept saying "ax" for "ask". The other guy looked like a rockabilly version of Jim Halpert/John Krasinski. The rockabilly guy had distinctive tattoos. Some of anime characters, but I won't name the specific characters or series. I was going to mention it in the interview, but I wasn't sure.

My "qualifications" were that I'm one of the top contributor to yahoo answers Halloween section. Plus the address I use on my resume is the one I use for yahoo answers. I make sure not to write anything too silly or offensive. For some reason they liked that especially "Rockabilly Jim" :P I do like to help and get my jollies on there. My other one was that I love Halloween.

I'm going to use opposite logic this time and say I hope "I don't get it", so that I will. The chances are slim though. They are interviewing today and tomorrow. They are giving preference to people with retail experience. I probably have no chance in hell. *cue Vince's music*.

I'm upset that the paint already wore off my Maneki Neko. One of the eyes rubbed off. I quickly repaired it by drawing it back in with a ball point pen. @o@

Beckon some Cash!

2011-09-06T00:28:00.000-07:00

I went to the mall to buy some shirts. I was upset that I was rushed. But I did get to go to the Japanese store.

I finally bought a Maneki Neko. I asked the worker about every single one, and what they meant. The guide on the display was on Japanese. I don't read Japanese that well. Here is what I wrote in my phone for notes, so I would know which one to buy. "Right paw gold or calico holding coin". The are so many different kinds they sort of remind me of Catholic saint statues. Black is good luck in general. Which is the opposite view of black cats in western culture. Green is for exams. I accidentally picked up the gold one which is for job promotion. The blue one is for good health. I wanted the one that beckons cash. I have wanted to get one of these for a while. Perhaps I'll buy more.

Does anybody know what the writing on the cat says?

Club Baseball!

2011-09-04T13:19:00.000-07:00

I forgot to blog yesterday. I was at the baseball game. It was a concert series game with Ne-Yo. I thought it was going to be as bad or worse than the Ludacris concert.

I don't want to sound like those "fashion experts" or anything, I noticed that when there are concerts people come in strange outfits like they are just going to a concert, and not a concert after a baseball game. This isn't a club! What if there was baseball game fashion police for all the games? Wouldn't that be funny/weird?

Later on there were some rowdy seat hoppers. Which reminded me of a Seinfeld monologue about seat hopping adults who pretend there is a problem with the ticket. Which I can't seem to find online for some reason. I forget which episode it's from; possibly "The Letter"? It was funny when some of them didn't know that they stopped serving beer at the 7th inning.

This concert was also sponsored by Power 106.

I'm happy that the telethon has been cut down in hours. I don't have to watch some lame acts like puppets. It was kind of mean how they booted out Jerry though.

2011-09-02T02:49:00.002-07:00

Why does it seem like most jobs are commission only now?

If somebody is a bad sales person and sells something for $5 at 20% commission they only earn $1!
They "claim" most people earn between $100-$200 which is between $20-$40. Pure commission jobs lead to ruthlessness. It's not smart to take one as a novice sales person. Especially if you are selling junk!

I called some other place, but then I realized it was to be a chugger- charity mugger. Plus the jobs were either door-to-door or being out on the street. The person I talked to on the phone was trying not to use the word "quota", but instead used "target". Which is to get 2 or more people to donate. I declined. Sounds too stressful.

I think I should stick to trying to get hourly jobs.

Lame Resume

2011-09-01T03:55:00.001-07:00

Can't believe it's September already. Now it's the faux end of summer. Remember that fall truly starts on 23rd this year.

My dad took my resume to get checked out at a job fair. I couldn't go because I was dealing with the printer.

He knows noting about me! He thought I was on the school newspaper! Really?!

I had to work reformatting my resume. Seriously I have no idea what to write. With no work experience what do I write? My dad told me to write descriptive words and phrases. I really wanted to write "good looking"and "brunette". I looked at some resumes online and stole a few things ;P

I don't want somebody in HR seeing my lame hobbies and thinking they are childish and putting the resume in the round file.

Printer Happy

2011-08-31T03:42:00.000-07:00

After I printed a few things I got an error message and the printer was making a strange grinding noise. I tried to look it up online to see what was the problem, but none of the posted solutions helped. It said there was a paper jam, but there was no paper I could see in there. I fiddled with the thing for at least a half hour.

My dad is not very nice to the printer. He is printer happy. We go through so much ink! He prints out his passwords, e-cards, sports brackets, sports schedules and other meaningless things. I feared this would happen with the first printer we had. This is already our 3rd printer. I remember because before we had a printer, and I was in school they were really strict about what could be printed. Absolutely no photos. All website articles had to cut and pasted into word with the photos removed. We had a computer in art class and the kids would get print happy. Especially since the printer was slow, and it was hard to know if the thing you put in the print queue was going to print. Later on in the class period like 5 pages of the same thing would all print out. I knew my dad was going to get print happy that's just how he is. It's his "toy".

I called the HP customer service which is in India I had a hard time understanding the guy at least he didn't try to use an American name like "Scott" or something. He was unhelpful and was really just trying to sell me another printer. I didn't get Madhuri or Gupta.

I left the broken printer for my dad to "discover". One of his solutions was to get his shop vac and blow air into the printer to get the stuck paper. I used my opposite instinct this time. The old me would have went on and on about how it was a bad idea. I just said I thought it was a bad idea, but that if he thinks its good to go ahead and do it. I was not stopping him. It's a "photosmart"model, but he kept calling it "photoshop". I had no idea what he was talking about or even trying to say.

Then he wanted to go and get if fixed, but he wanted me to come with him. I refused to go. He acts like he is so smart with tech stuff, so he had to do it alone! He called up the place and asked for the worker with the very special last name. He said that if it was really broken I'd have to go to the store with him and get another printer! X-X
I didn't want it to be the same thing all over again! @0@

When he got back he said that they told him to clean the printer. He was mad because they told him to buy a new one. He was also mad because the tech people didn't understand what he was trying to say.

All we needed to do was unplug it a few times with the power turned off. UGH! >:(

Frog and Mouse (both owned by Warner)

2011-08-30T01:55:00.000-07:00

People so fondly remember Pinky and the Brain. It made me their think of the cartoon. Most people around my age so fondly remember them. It's like their cartoon "Puppet Rulers". In that cartoon Pinky and the Brain appear on this kid's show that is a parody of Beanie and Cecil called "Meanie and Treacle". Their characters are Big Ears and Noodle Noggin. They freeze them selves and then hope to be fondly remembered by children in the future and rule the world! It backfires and when they come back the adults are upset that they abandoned them. I think it's funny when I'm wearing the shirt and people who remember it get mad at me like I took it away or know what happened to it. 'I'm just a fan."

While I was waiting around for the call (to my cell). It made me think of the Street Frogs. Here is a quick summary of what the Street Frogs is. It's a cartoon from 1987 about some hip-hop frogs. The cartoon also had a musical montage. There are 5 of them Big Max, Honey Love Loretta, Dr. Slick, Spider, and Moose. (from left to right ) They usually take odd jobs to make "seed" which is slang for money.

I was thinking of the episode "The Phone Call". Here is a quick summary of the episode Max, Spider, Moose and Dr. Slick are helping somebody move. Slick is waiting for a phone call although he denies it. He keeps missing calls, and it ultimately distracted.
Here are the lyrics to the original song featured.

Male: The one thing I really hate to do
Is sit around the house and wait for you to call me on the phone
I really hate that sitting alone
It's such an awful thing

Male and Female: (chorus) waiting for the phone to ring
waiting for the phone to riiiiiing

Male:I hate pretending like I'm reading a book
I hate pretending like I'm learning to cook
Don't like to watch tv, afraid to take a walk
Afraid she'll miss me afraid you'll wanna talk

Male and Female: What the heck's a guy to do?
While he's waitin' for a call from you
While he's waitin' for the phone to ring
Pretending it don't mean a thing

Male: whether you call or not
You're on (can't make this lyric out)

Female: The on thing I really hate to do
Is sit around the house and wait for you to call me on the phone
I really hate that sitting alone
It's such an awful thing

Male and Female: (chorus) waiting for the phone to ring
waiting for the phone to riiiiiing

Female: I hate pretending that the clock is wrong
To keep on listin' to the same old song
Each time I hear that note I almost lose my cool
With that ding-a-ling I'm just a silly fool

Male and Female: What the heck's a girl to do?
While she's waitin' for a call from you
While she's waitin' for the phone to ring
Pretending it don't mean a thing

Female: whether you call or not
You're on (?)

The frogs mess up a lot of the stuff they tried to move, and have to pay for it. Later an announcement is made on the radio from Tiffany to Dr. Slick. Since she couldn't reach him on the phone she's going to babysit.Who can do hip hop better than a frog can? Street Frogs!

When I re-watched this cartoon about 3 years ago. I realized how outdated it was.

I had submitted a few summaries of the cartoons to tv.com, but for some reason they are having issues with the site again.

I didn't get the job :(

I hope I get it!

2011-08-28T01:12:00.002-07:00

I had my hair in a tight little proper bun. Only because I'm growing my hair out and it's hot. I decided to dress very nice since this was for a sales job.

Some people there were dressed real casual with short or flip flops and jeans.

The presentation was being held in the lobby. There was not just a room or anything. She gave handouts that have sales scrips on them. Maybe I should study them. There is base pay,and commissions. If it was pure commissions I would have left.

I noticed that there was a huge misprint in my resume. My phone number was wrong! I can't believe it! Maybe that's why nobody was calling me! DAMN! I told her I have no job experience, but she was cool with it and said people have to start somewhere. She said she liked my attitude! Or could she smell desperation? The ad did say no experience necessary. That was what caught me. She also said she liked my name. :P My common name.

I'll be cool with sales if I get the job, and I don't have to go to other parts of the fair and try to get business. Like bothering people in the games section or the race track. Now I wait for the call back or not.

My dad and I made it back in time for football. And nobody was kicked in the shin.

Garbage songs to Strip To/ Weedin' out the Posers

2011-08-27T13:35:00.001-07:00

Shirley was a guest on Ferguson.

She said she didn't know the song "Afternoon Delight" I guess she hasn't been up on Glee that song was sung by Emma in "Sexy", and it was sung Arrested development by Maeby and Michael at the Christmas party. In the episode entitled "Afternoon Delight".

"Vow" was the first song that came to mind for some reason. I think I was thinking about it before I watched the show. Now I'm trying to come up with a list of Garbage songs to strip to.

Here's what I came up with:
Supervixen
Subhuman
Hammering in My Head
Push It
Stupid Girl
Why do you Love Me

Later at the Jack in the Box there was this boy wearing a Doors shirt. He asked the boy if he knew who they are. I stupidly left my phone charging at home. My dad is weedin' out the posers with Doors shirts.

2011-08-26T04:02:00.000-07:00

It's Shirley's birthday today! She's eating a dog! A dog shaped cake! It's so cute! ^-^

I decided to put on lotion and it was stupid of me to do that because it was too hot and I woke up in some nice and slimy plumeria scented sweat.

That's why I don't like lotion. It smears everything like books and stuff. I hate reading books or magazines with smudged pages. Or smudged printouts.

Casual Stella

2011-08-25T03:02:00.000-07:00

I bought more doll clothes So I knocked off another item of my Stella outfit wish list. Maybe I should focus on selling more than buying. I need to work on my Stella doll wish list. Now all I need from here season 1 (old version) casual outfit is the shoes. The skirt has like little panties sewn in.

I'm going to add this outfit. All I want is the top, skirt and shoes. I don't really care about the other accessories (the phone and purse)

I'm sad because one of the straps on my Bratz dress broke off.

My dad is so nosy. He has to know who I'm getting letters from. It's so hard for me to buy things by mail unless I notify him in advance. Especially if I buy something big like a DVD or something.

I'm trying to think of all the big name fast food places and restaurants I can apply to. Places that accept "ugly people". It's hard thinking of places.

Rock You Like a Hurricane then a Kick in the Shin

2011-08-24T00:40:00.000-07:00

If you cut in front of me in a line for a job interview I'll kick you in the shin! That happened to me before. Some guy let his girlfriend cut in line. This was back in like '04 or '05 when there were more jobs available. I kicked him in the shin. Jobs are scarce now I'd probably end up on the news that there was a brawl during some hiring fair or job interviews.

Why are there boys named Andrew that were born after 1992? Don't parents know what bad connotations that name has?

After a name has been retired as a hurricane I think the name as a whole should too.

If there was a hurricane with my first name I'd change it right away! I don't like my first name anyway. With my luck the name I change it to would be a "hurricane name".

An Important date to Remember

2011-08-22T00:13:00.000-07:00

My dad asked if I got classes and I said no. I was surprised he wasn't upset about this. Or if he was he didn't show it.

I'll reapply after Shirley's birthday. Only because the people with delinquent accounts (the non-payers) are dropped. This year it happens to fall on her birthday, so I have an easy time to remember the date.

It's so hard for me to prove I'm an independent. I have been since I reached 25? :/ It kept getting flagged for some reason. I don't understand. :/

2011-08-21T00:58:00.000-07:00

I saw that Conan anime aka Case Closed. It's good. I've only seen 2 episodes so I'm still getting a feel for it. It's like Miss Mallard, but a grown up version of it. I like what I've seen so far. I heard it's still running in Japan and has been since 1996. I also heard that a dub was shown on Cartoon Network, but it was promptly canceled due to low ratings.

What if Conan met Conan?

That In the Flow with Affion Crockett is not funny. It's trying to be edgy like In Living Color or Madtv was, but to me it's boring.

2011-08-19T13:17:00.000-07:00

I got a job interview the only problem is it's scheduled for the 22nd... of September! That's more than a month away. I hope this is legit. The place got one bad rating on city search.

Engrish Apron

2011-08-18T03:40:00.000-07:00

I went shopping at the dollar store yesterday and I found some funny times Engrish!

Let's beging the pictures!
I think is supposed to say "celebrity".

I have no idea why this description is on that. I'm pretty sure the item is an apron.

I think I have to stop taking pictures in the store. I think the store is onto me. :( Maybe I'll take photos in silent mode.

Hello Panda review (double chocolate)

2011-08-17T02:23:00.000-07:00

I took an interesting take on this review. Let's start off regular stuff here is a picture of the bag. I'm recycling the box picture from my previous blog about these. These ones come in a gold bag.

These cookies are chocolate filled with a chocolate cookie on the out side. I bought these like 2 months ago.
Here is a picture of the cookies.

I was disappointed I did not get an (American) football panda cookie this time.

I tasted these. I like these better than the ones with the vanilla cookie and the chocolate filling. It is the same filing though. They have a robust chocolate flavor. I let my dad have some. He was not my "guinea pig". He likes double chocolate stuff anyway. For his birthday he always eats a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting.

Chew on a Master

2011-08-16T03:52:00.000-07:00

I was going to write this blog strictly as a review of Hello Panda cookies, but then I wanted to talk about Master Chef, and a funny story about employment.

I submitted another email to that sandwich place since they said they were looking for more applicants because in their new ad that the didn't find what they were looking for on Saturday.

I resubmitted an application which showed the following:
I'm desperate
I'm relentless
I'm testing the water to see if I'm really blacklisted

I'm also starting a boycott on this place and it's franchises.

I got all into Master Chef this summer. My mom was into it first, and then I started watching it. That one guy was too cocky, and all the judges make themselves look like jerks. Christian was too cocky. The whole program reminded me of my advanced art class.

I'd never apply for Master Chef. Because I can't cook and my own family won't eat my cooking.

The Death of Glee?

2011-08-15T04:41:00.000-07:00

Box office reports that the Glee moive is a flop.

Now that other people pointed it out I noticed that the lip syncing did not match up. I thought it was just bad syncing on the theater's part. I remember seeing a badly synched Austin Powers movie in the theater.

I remember a few months ago there was a contest on facebook to make video describing how Glee changed your life. I liked the prompt and saved it as a source for a writing prompt. I had no intention of making video. Mostly because I have no video equipment.

Glee reminds of Mighty Morpin Power Rangers in so many ways.

Similarities:
Actors in their 20s playing teenagers
Concert/live tour
Was a really big deal at the height of it's respective popularity
On Fox (in the US)
Had a movie the non-fans would probably not watch unless they were parents or something
Contract disputes/characters leaving

There are probably even more things, but those were all I could think of. *shrugs*

I haven't bought much Glee merchandise. I have zero Glee songs on my MP3 player. I don't have any sound tracks or DVDs. Not even when the enticing sale price of $7 did not make me want to buy the "Glee: The Music, The Christmas Album". The reason I don't have any Glee songs is because a large portion of them are covers.

I went to the store in the back to school section, and there were Glee notebooks with season 1 pictures of the characters on them and they were $2.50! Maybe I'll wait until the back to school items go on sale and pick up one of they are left. I can buy whole bunch of inexpensive plain composition and notebooks and print out my favorite Glee pictures off the internet.

I think as a whole my dad and I spent about $21 on Glee merchandise. I got a calender for my birthday, a $1 Rachel dairy and the $10 movie.

The second season was really lacking it got all "Mary Sue" on me. Even worse than Winx Club and, Bloom is very much a Mary Sue. First I thought it was just me but other fans have been complaining about season 2 as well.

It really irks me that people are comparing The Monkees tv show to Glee. That is like comparing apes to birds. The only similarity I can see is that each show was used as a vehicle to sell albums/singles. S Club was more like The Monkees.

How long did Popular run? Two years?

Glee 3D Concert Movie Review

2011-08-14T01:29:00.000-07:00

I think I might be blacklisted for applying for jobs at that sandwich place I had to turn down. I feel like Elaine in The Race when she got blacklisted from Hop Sing's. Maybe I won't eat there. The sandwich place will not be named.

The review of the movie I'm going to write sounds like those horrible movie reviews people would write for my high school news paper. Where the review had little to do with the movie, and would go on and on about a bad date or something.

I went to see the Glee 3D movie I don't know how things work sometimes, so I can sound like such a Brittany P. I decided to wear something red since that is the school color of William McKinley High School. (the school in Glee for you non-Gleeks reading this) I was also going to wear a headband, but I couldn't find the one I wanted to wear.

I don't go the movies much, but do 3D movies cost more? I had a $10 gift card, so all I paid for was concessions. The price of the movie was all of the gift card.

When I went to the concession stand was thinking of buying a Icee, but decided against it since it was early in the morning and I needed some caffeine. I ordered a Cherry Coke. I also ordered a pretzel. Why are they so buttery with butter on top? I like my soft pretzels plain.

When I got into the theater nobody is there. I took the best seat. I wasn't expecting the 9:50AM showing of the Glee movie to be filled up. I figured the Gleeks wouldn't rise so early.

Somebody sitting near me was wearing some coconut smelling perfume or cream or something. It smelled more like a beauty product than food.

The butter or butter flavoring made my pretzel too salty. It made me really thirsty. I was thirsty before I went to the movies.

When the movie started there were less than 20 people maybe even less than 10. It was mostly teens and kids with their parents. I'm nice enough not to subject my parents to Glee. They don't like it.

They show way too many commercials!

When the movie finally started it's like a concert and there are fans jumping. I thought they were obnoxious theater goers jumping up and down in front of me. Something like that happened to me when I watched a Pokemon movie. I think it happened at that theater. Then I realized it was people in the audience of the concert in 3D!

I was happy that the other people watching the movie did not sing along. But if they wanted to promote singing they could have made the movie like an old sing-a-long cartoon with the words on the bottom of the screen.

The movie confused me because were they in character or what? Am I watching Rachel, Finn, Kurt and Mercedes? Or am I watching Lea, Cory, Chris, and Amber?

I felt like Wakko in the Animainiacs episode potty emergency. I wasn't even drinking an "Abyss Boy". I was so distracted by having to pee I was not enjoying the movie.

I left during "Forget You" and when I came back Kurt was singing and wearing a white bow tie. What did I miss? (Gleeks help me out here)

My glasses were falling down during "Born this Way". (when I was writing notes at home about the movie I wrote "Perform this Way" LOL!) They were falling because my nose is too small.

I didn't like the fan stories. I wish it just would have been a straight concert movie. I didn't mind the backstage stuff, and the fans at the concerts commentary like saying who their favorite character is. But the Mini Warbler was cute!

I really didn't see the point of it being in 3D. The only thing I really noticed that was in 3D was the streamers, Puck's hair and the audience. Some stuff in 3D just looked strange. I kinda like 2D Glee. I usually watch the show on an old late 90s Mangavox tv. I may or may not get it in HD. I'm not sure.

I wish there would have been a mention of or reference to Lord Tubbington.

I really just wanted to see Lea/Rachel. Who was featured prominently in the movie. If you are a fan of Jenna/Tina or Chord/Sam you will be disappointed.

I think it would have been more marketable to sell it on DVD.

The songs get stuck in your head.

Does anybody know where I can find a song list of all the songs that appeared in the movie in order?

I give it a 7/10 cause I'm feeling generous. There could have been some improvements.

Maybe I'll stick to watching my No Doubt movies.

The worst part was at the end when I was trying to make a phone call, and I thought my phone broke again. I was going to roam the mall looking for an elusive pay phone. Then my mom came and told me my phone wasn't broken. There was a blackout where we live. UGH!

2011-08-13T00:52:00.000-07:00

So I guess I'm on bad terms with that sandwich chain. Oh well. :/ *shrugs*

2011-08-12T10:44:00.000-07:00

I applied to a place for the same chain where I was not negotiating with them even if I was wearing women's clothing. But it is not in the same location. I'm hoping they reply possibly.

Shrewd or Rude?

2011-08-11T19:29:00.000-07:00

So I called this place that I found an for a job in the newspaper.

There was a company email address, but the website in the address didn't exist. It was like this to apply contact tina@companyname.com I took the website out of the address, but nothing came up.

There was also a phone number listed in the ad. When I called the place they wouldn't give any info unless I gave a name. Hello! Red Flag.

My mom overheard the conversation I was having over the phone with the company. It totally sounded like a scam.

Whopper of a Deal

2011-08-08T03:21:00.000-07:00

I had a great idea for a job agency one that specializes in getting jobs for ugly people. It should have a cute name too.

I'm thinking about moving to China because that's where the money is.

I had to go to school to take care of some stuff.

I think the school is banking on a lot of people putting the cart before the horse, and applying for classes before they can pay for them. I took bad advice and did that before, and I'm not doing it again.

I was going to ask the person at the booth a question, but he was obliviously a lackey student. He was just flirting with some girls! Good job!

I went out to get the 88¢ Whoppers. I was near a Burger King anyway.

I ended up giving a rather complicated order. My usual Whopper fixins: a standard Whopper with no katstup or onions. I'd also say no tomatoes or pickles, but I'll just remove them and eat them separately. No need to further complicate the order.

I ordered another in case my dad didn't feel like going out to get some for dinner. I'm not weird like him. He can't eat the same for for 2 meals in one day or have the same food the next day either. Except breakfast foods. The other one I ordered only had lettuce and pickles in it. I didn't want to put any mayo in it in case it spoiled in my backpack on the bus ride home.

Saw a kid with a rat tail there are those back in style?

I'm so cheap I brought my own drink from home to the Burger King. :P

Later when my dad went to get the Whoppers for dinner he was mad because the Burger king he went to was crowded. He hates going to free or cheap food promotions. They always piss him off.

2011-08-07T04:43:00.000-07:00

My mom told me to eat all that Japanese snack food I'd been saving and meaning to review. Last week was pretty hectic. I guess I should review them in order of when I bought them.

So here would be the order Chocolate panda cookies, lucky sticks, vanilla panda cookies and melon Hi-chew.

It was fun to see John Cena on the Teen Choice awards wearing a Sue Sylvester tracksuit. It was a departure from his usual outfit consisting of jean shorts and a t-shirt. It was nice to Cory. I can a crush on him since he is older than me by 2 years, and he's playing a high school student. :/ @x@

But it was 2 things I like together in one place.

Conan is not Conan

2011-08-06T01:44:00.001-07:00

I'm very excited that UTB is showing anime again. They haven't since Lupin the 3rd series III concluded in late September 2010. They are showing Case Closed/Detective Conan. This should not be confused with that other Conan show with Mr. O'Brien.

They are going to show it during their kids' programming. I thought they were going to continue showing the Ultraman series. They showed Tiga, Dyna, and Gaia. I thought they were going to show Cosmos. This is also English subtitled. It's an ongoing series in Japan, so I'm not sure how long it's going to run on UTB.

I emailed the station in June to find out if they were going to show more anime. They told me that they were not going to show anime at 10PM on weekdays, but that were hoping to bring anime in the near future.

At the Angel game there were a lot of as my mom put it riffraff there for the Ludacris concert. I think it might have been sponsored by Power 106. I saw somebody there who looked like somebody from my past. I won't go into detail describing this person. I hope they didn't recognize me if it was them.

I was sitting near this female who was wearing her hair down and it was long-ish. She tousling with it. I hate to sound with my grandma, but it was annoying me! She was tousling with it so much she got relish in her hair from the hotdog she was eating. That's the problem with long hair it gets in everything. I wear my hair down, but I don't tousle it. I remember one time I wore my hair down and ate some messy food and got bbq sauce in it! Gross!

This time my dad did a better job of keeping score this time.

I really wanted to take my Cabbage Patch Doll to the game. He is baseball All-Stars edition and wears a "retro" Angels uniform. It was the current one in 1986. But I decided not to.

We left early and did not see the show. :(

My Headband

2011-08-05T11:03:00.000-07:00

I have no idea what I'm going to wear to the Glee movie. Maybe I should wear something red? Or a headband?

The one thing I really hope is that I don't get stuck sitting by people who think they can "sing". Then I have to listen to that person instead of the people in the movie who I paid to hear sing. It's not like I'm at a concert. Even if it is a concert film.

Dejected

2011-08-04T02:12:00.000-07:00

I'm pretty sure I didn't get the job. Oh well! I guess I 'll just have to apply to somewhere else.

What Terminology?

2011-08-03T03:16:00.000-07:00

I forgot to post a blog yesterday

I keep confusing Dan Haren with Dan Harmon. Haren is a baseball player. Harmon is the guy who created the tv show "Community". Let's think about men in ugly shorts, and then cry. J/K ;P

I incorrectly though the giveaway at the baseball game was a concert and not a banner. My dad wanted to keep score. I gawked at the official Angels monkey Pillow Pets for $42! I thought the stuffed Capuchin monkeys were cute. They reminded me of Marcel from Friends.

My dad doesn't get my association with Western Bacon Cheeseburgers and baseball.

My dad was trying to keep score during the game but doing a poor job at it. He couldn't read the names on the screen behind us. I had to and spell out the names for him. I did get to put my knowledge of Japanese vowel sounds to good use.

My dad bought something from Ruby's and it was tiny. He got mad because I was dipping onion rings in au jus sauce. It's good and salty.

When the Angels scored my dad and I missed it because we were buying ice cream. Well I sort of saw it. I was busy watching the tv, and I wasn't ready to order. While we were gone he told m y mom to keep score. (she doesn't know how and neither do I)

For some reason I kept calling baseball helmets "hats".

I got a Minnie Mouse pin as a souvenir. My dad wanted me to get a stuffed money, but I wanted the pin because it took up less space.

My dad wanted me to go to the beach with him. Is he crazy? I'm waiting for a call from that place I applied to. Stupid! Most likely I'd be watching his stuff as he jogged on the beach. :/

Today: I was waiting around for that place I applied at to give me a call. They never did. :(

It's a good thing I didn't cut my nails for the job since I didn't get it. They would have been needlessly sacrificed.

I drowned my sorrows in some Angelfish music.

I'm not Negotiating

2011-08-01T20:39:00.000-07:00

Maybe I should have titled this blog "look out here comes tomorrow"? :/

I totally forgot today is the first of August. I should work on writing a birthday message for Shirley. Does anybody know how to make an ascii cake?

Why does everything have to happen on my busiest day?

I get a call for a different place I applied to they want me to come in for an interview tomorrow. I ask if I can reschedule. I'm not trying to negotiate, play head games or be a bitch. Sometimes places will do that. They said interviews were only tomorrow. The guy sounded miffed on the phone. Sorry! :0

Maybe that food card is working after all! XD

I think the place I applied to on Sunday it a franchise I hope they don't sell generic bottled water.

Look Out Here Comes Tomorrow

2011-07-31T03:32:00.000-07:00

That's what I get for coincidentally checking my email at 3AM. The email was sent at about 10:30PM the day before.

Coincidentally before my interview I was watching The Monkees episode "Monkee Versus Machine". I love that episode! It's one of my favorites. My favorite part is in the beginning when they are reading the want ads most of the jobs they read about have strange requirements.

Maybe it's a good thing I didn't get to work at that other sandwich place.

I took my dad's stupid advice and brought 3 resumes. The other 2 I didn't hand out got ruined. I got asked about the restaurant and what I like there. I said Spring Rolls. The guy almost kept my only food card copy. I got hired. I think...? :/ The guy told me about orientation. I'll worry about my long nails until I know I got the job.

I just hope nobody reads my review of boba on here. X-X

I picked up more of that candy that tastes like sodalicious. The hi chew is over priced at the mall. It's $1 just for the roll. I was going to buy a Maneki Neko, but I forgot which raised paw means wealth. (it's the right paw)

If I do get hired I'll probably be one of those snobby people who brags about where they work and how good they are at their job and the food they make.

I didn't notice that my purse was totally coordinated with the shirt I was wearing.

My dad told me something strange he thinks I can handle making sandwiches because it's easy. Usually after a job interview he tells me about how I can't handle the job or something.

Old Yellow Notepad Stories

2011-07-30T02:44:00.000-07:00

I was cleaning and I found my old note pad with some stories I wrote in them. A while ago I tried to type them up or I did. I forgot what happened to them. I think I might have given them to my dead friend. I remember getting feedback from her about some of the stories. They flow well I guess... There are just way too many Power Ranger references. The one thing was that they were organized in chronological order. Maybe I have been fixated on chronological order for awhile. The stories aren't that long. One I typed out was about 1 paragraph long in 11 point font single spaced.

It will be good in case there are no classes available, and I get stuck taking another memoir class I'll have some prewritten stories. I was so unprepared my first time. When I think about it that would be like doing unassigned math homework before taking a math class.

Who knows these might be a jumping board to something else. These vignettes might make great 4 panel comics or something. As long as I don't feel they are mediocre then I'll be ok.

The problem is that those stories and a bunch of others I wrote on paper need to be typed out. I think I need an intern like Kramer got on Seinfeld. Which is a woman who lives in a messy house. That does not contain a chicken.

Keep Stickin it to Me!

2011-07-29T10:56:00.001-07:00

Some of these came out blurry. I was trying to take pictures of these stickers off a lunch box. I think I just liked the stickers because they had (scalloped?) edges like a stamp. I forgot where I got them. I think they came in a small plastic purse with other things like an eraser and a pencil and some other school supplies. I think I put them on my lunch box circa 1989. That is also why some of the stickers look a little tattered. I was too lazy to clean up the edges of the pictures.

These rabbit stickers are very cartoony. In some of these stickers the rabbit kind of looks like Bugs Bunny. My favorite is the one of the rabbit singing.
These are of a squirrel or a chipmunk?
Skunk
Mice stickers. Lovin' the Supermouse!
The gray raccoon ones look like an old cartoon style.
The rest are just other designs. The rabbit one did have a scalloped border, but it got trimmed and used for a school project.

Vanilla and Melon

2011-07-27T18:29:00.000-07:00

I bought some melon Hi-chew and vanilla panda cookies. I can't remember if I had melon favored Hi-chew before. I had to buy 2 packs of Hi-chew since the store had a must purchase 2 for a dollar sale.

I will be reviewing them shortly.

Nobody Listens to Random Shit

2011-07-25T03:08:00.001-07:00

I was looking up different sandwiches on the wikipedia. I found this sandwich called a Cheese Dream. It looked like my kind of sandwich. There are lot of variations of it.

I also thought about writing cheese dream parody song. Using the song "Teenage Dream"

I heard the song "Words" by Missing Persons. That's the way I feel right now. Nobody is listening to me. I decided to be a jerk, and just start saying random shit. If nobody is listening anyway why would it matter.

Club Two-Seven

2011-07-23T01:41:00.001-07:00

I have a great idea for a Halloween costume Lauren Zizes from Glee. But how would I dress like her. If I did make a Lauren costume would anybody know who I was dressed as, or just think I was just wearing lipstick, glasses and regular clothes. (I think Lauren is up there with my Meg Griffin costume. They are both pretty ambiguous)

Sexy podium-small cardboard podium in the front, back less shirt, and hot pants or a thong.
Sexy Alex Trebek (a sexy version of any man who wears a suit)- hot pants, thigh highs, garters, high shoes, and lots of cleavage.

Now another one came to me unexpectedly Amy Winehouse

My mom didn't know who she was, and I really need that mom celebrity translator from SNL. She's talking about her, and I have no idea what is going on. I was idly watching The Monkees. ;P Davy in a wig as a girl LOL!

Am I like the only one who thought the writing was on the wall with Winehouse? Or am I just stupid and insensitive? :/ *shrug*

I was trying to explain to my parents about the soulful UK singer movement with Winehouse, Duffy and Adele. There is probably somebody else I'm forgetting. I'm writing this by memory. My parents have no idea what I'm talking about.

Really people do you need to retweet everything that celebrities about the passing of Winehouse? Stop cluttering up my timeline!

I didn't think about her being 27 and those other singers who died at 27. Until my dad brought it up, and people were tweeting about this.

Rene Goguen, Mandy Moore, LeBron James, and me. Those are other celebrities could possibly die at 27 since they are all 27 right now. I don't count because I'm not famous. Unless I was one of those people that died, and then became famous.

Flounder Mush

2011-07-22T02:49:00.000-07:00

Never eat Arrowtooth Flounder. It's disgusting! The fish is incredibly mushy! It might be good to eat if you don't have a lot of teeth or something. I thought it was just me, but a lot of other people online complained about this.

Faust's got Nothin on Me

2011-07-20T02:49:00.001-07:00

Really he doesn't.

I've been posting a bunch of craigslist ads. Some direct, some pathetic, and some silly. One of the job offers I got was to work in the adult film industry! @.@ XD

What to do about being so homely?

I applied for a job at a car wash. The ad said nothing about providing photos or anything. I'm not going to quote this strange email reply I got yesterday, but I'll paraphrase it. It's that absurd! The email reply said for me to provide facebook pics and if I'm good at car washing. Shouldn't the question about car washing come first? Why does it matter how good looking I am? Shouldn't only my car washing ability matter first?

Anyway I looked up that car wash on facebook, and it looks sort of ghetto.

There is another company that was looking for people to pass out fliers or something, but they also needed a photo. They would not accept applications without ones. I guess they got pretty desperate because they reposed the ad the day before they needed the person. I was going to call the company, and ask why they needed a photo. If they wanted I could meet with somebody from the company in person. Then my looks could be evaluated and see if I was potential hiring material; or not.

Maybe I should just chalk up my losses and try to find work at a big company that won't mind hiring an ugly person.

New Winx Club Dolls

2011-07-16T01:13:00.000-07:00

I'm upset since I heard that Jakks Pacific are going to make the new winx club dolls. I really hope they use a good body for them. The Mattel ones had a "Leggy" doll body.

What other dolls did they make? Will they use a "recycled" body? Maybe the dolls will be somewhat compatible and be able to "share" clothes with the old dolls. I hope they don't use those Juku Couture bodies. I hope the dolls have good eyes. It seems like the doll makers (Mattel, Simba, and Giochi Preziosi) have a hard time replicating the eyes on these dolls. They look nothing like how they do on the cartoon. Some dolls to me look crossed eyed or something. The Pixie dolls weren't bad.

Who knows maybe my cousins will get into the new version of the Winx Club. They are only 1 and 3 so when the next few seasons come out they will be about 3 and 6.

Little Mouse on the Prairie

2011-07-15T03:42:00.001-07:00

I started watching a Chinese dub of this show with English subs. Does anybody know anything about it? I can't find much info on it. I think it came out in 1997. Does anybody know anything about it? I already read what was on the toonaricifc and the Big cartoon database. The female mouse Tweezle Dee looks like Gadget Hackwrench.

Here are some screen caps from the channels.

Free Hat

2011-07-14T01:57:00.000-07:00

With the new dub of Winx club which I caught some clips of it on youtube watching it reminded me of the South Park episode "Free Hat". Where the directors kept changing movies. I heard that Rainbow changed the animation because it looked out dated. It looks weird now especially if somebody has watched the old episodes. I did they really need to re-do Stella's wand and their outfits? That's like totally defacing the cartoon! I feel like the South Park kids in "Free Hat".

For the voices I know some of them are voiced by teenagers.

The voices:
Bloom: I kinda like it
Stella: not boastful enough sound too meek for Stella, sounds like a kid
Flora: needs some improvement it's lacking something
Tecna: too bland kinda sounds like the old Bloom
Musa: I kinda like it
Icy: sounds like a little kid doesn't sound arrogant enough
Darcy: (see Icy)
Stormy: not bad

I know some people are happy it got out of 4kids hands, but the hands it went into might be just as bad. I think it's funny that a bunch of teenagers are complaining about the new version and how their childhood is ruined. I would not be in this group since I first saw Winx Club when I was 20. I guess the old "bad" version makes them nostalgic? I miss the boastful Stella voice. When I use to play Fashion Polly and Magical Minis Winx with my cousin I would use that boastful Stella voice. It would annoy my mom. I'd also use the word "couture" a lot. @.@

I have a great idea for another Winx Club themed parody song. My "Umbrella" song didn't work out. This time I'm gonna use a punk song.

How Much Frosting do you Choose? a Dunkaroos Review

2011-07-13T03:26:00.000-07:00

I was only going to just write an introductory paragraph, but then it turned into more than 5.

According to the wikipedia it says Dunkaroos came out in 1988. But I don’t remember having them until the early 90s circa 1993. I remember when I first ate them they only came in 2 varieties chocolate frosting and plain vanilla frosting. Each variety both had the same graham cracker/cookies with them to dunk.

They were pretty hard to eat not physically. I was because anytime I opened a pack somebody would come out of the woodwork and try to mooch them off me. The type of kid who constantly “forgets” to bring their lunch. They only want your “good food” aka the junk food. Once it runs out or they eat it all they are off to mooch off somebody else. It wasn’t just the Dunkaroos it was also the fruit snacks and the snack cakes too. This is why I don’t eat brownies in public. Actually that could be like a little running gag I have.

The thing I didn’t get about some of those moocher kids was they would brag about their expensive shoes (which they really had) and other things they bragged about. Why couldn’t their family spare a few bucks for some snack foods?

I liked to eat them along with the cheese and bread sticks Handi-snacks. The cookies were good dipped in the cheese and the bread sticks were good dipped in the frosting. (But never the crackers or the pretzels)

They could have been part of the ultimate 90s lunch:
Kool-burst, Squeez-it, Mondo
Dunkaroos
Handi-snacks
Fruit snacks/fruit rolls
Occasionally a Gobble Stick, some cheese, snack cakes, or cookies
A lunchable was more of a treat (I rarely got these)
(A non-90s regular sandwich. Containing lettuce, meat, and mayonnaise on white bread. )

Packed in a Beauty and the Beast or Darkwing Duck lunchbox. Practically every girl in my third grade class had a Beauty and the Beast lunch box, and bunch of other girls at the school. I had to put a few stickers on mine to distinguish it from the others. Some of the girls had those lunch boxes that looked like coolers.

I was being lazy and looking for a picture of a Darkwing Duck lunchbox online, but I managed to find my own. I was looking for something else. Look! A faux retro photo. If I’m only eating that for lunch that is pretty sad. The thermos didn't yellow there was too much glare in that pic.

It was not as exotic as eating sheets of seaweed. I would trade for those. Plus there was a health food craze goin’ on in third and fourth grade. A sandwich with whole wheat bread with lots of veggies and a little bit of meat. Laughing Cow cheese. Don’t forget the 100% juice! I forget what else was included. :/

I remember when the Dunkaroos had funny shapes like feet. The cookies were really shaped like feet. There are some various commercials on youtube.

Enough nostalgic rambling. Onto the review. Since I already had these back in the 90s I sort of have an idea of what they would taste like. It smelled the same. The combination of this one is white sprinkle frosting with cinnamon cookies. The cookies were good and crunchy. They have that cinnamon taste like the old ones did. They still taste the same. The frosting texture seemed a little different from the 90s version, but I'm not sure if that was due to the heat. It was still good. It mostly tastes the same. Nostalgia factor from 1-10. 10 being highest 8. There was some leftover frosting. I ate the leftover frosting like I used to when I was a kid and scoop it out with my finger. it brought me back to 4th grade lunch! Chased it the Dunkaroos down with some Kool-aid. Squeez-its are out of production. :P

Logo Crazy! @.@

2011-07-12T01:15:00.000-07:00

Look! I found the Logopedia! I didn't even know this existed!

And don't forget the closing logo wiki.

But not for Free

2011-07-11T04:01:00.000-07:00

I forgot to get a free slurpee today. :(

They were DC nails and they had a picture of Harley on the box, but there were no nails with her on them. There was some girl trying to sell me a pack of fake nails at the Hot Topic store. They were really ugly. I think I could decorate fake nails better than that.

I found a Japanese store at the mall. I think it use to be a brick and mortar store in the area and then moved to the mall. I think I passed another one when I was looking for that place in Atlantic Square. I bought some Lucky Stick there. They are the Meiji version of Pocky. Meiji also makes yan yan, but I tried it and I thought it was gross. (chocolate flavor)

There use to be a store in the mall that sold Asian housewares and stationary that was in the mall about 10 years ago. They use to sell Chibimaruko Chan stuff there.

To that guy who vandalized good for him! He's doing something with his life. Letterman doesn't deserve to have a show. You have no idea what you are talking about on your show. JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP! I HATE YOU! YOU HAS BEEN!

2011-07-10T22:44:00.000-07:00

I almost forgot today is my half birthday. It usually occurs around the time of the MLB all star game. Half birthdays aren't so special anymore. :/

Prism Fly

2011-07-09T23:07:00.001-07:00

Former First Lady Mrs. Ford died in honor of her death kick back a stiff one and listen to "Raise Your Glass" the Warblers cover.

I was watching Angel’s Friends and the more I watch it the more it reminds me of Winx Club. (aside from the English voice actors)

Bloom and Raf’s color is a shade of blue. Although some claim that Bloom’s is teal. They come from a “mysterious” origin. Bloom’s was the destruction of Sparx/Domino . Raf’s was having an angel mother and a mortal father. Both of them have some problem why they can’t reach another advanced form. They “force” it to happen.

Prism Fly is that every angel and devil has a chromatic essence. On the angels Prism Fly looks mysteriously similar to Enchantix. Urie’s wings look more like Belelivix. Although the female devils get very elegant outfits which don’t seem very devilish at all. They look like something in between Disenchantix and Enchantix. The male devils outfits just look like fancy casual clothes. They are not sparkly. Why was Cabiria's color blue?

I’d buy a set of official DVDs of Angel's Friends (English dub or sub) for a reasonable price.

Nerding Out Some More!

2011-07-08T03:42:00.000-07:00

I bought a Sailor Moon scout guide book with some left over money I had. I remember reading the book in a mall about 10 years ago. I thought it was funny that Sailor Moon and I have the same blood type; O. After I received it my dad wanted to "inspect" the book. He did this before when I bought school books online. He got mad because I paid $8 for a beat up book. It was the only one in my price range. It’s not too beat up. For that price to me it was a deal. Those books are rare anyway and really over priced. I already showed it to him once why does he need to "inspect" it again?

I already nerded out for the Mercury and Venus guides.

By/Buy a Hammer

2011-07-07T19:11:00.000-07:00

I bought a quad/graph paper composition book. I don't know why I just thought it was interesting. I'll use it for journal. Maybe I can write about how much I like baby lotion in it. I like that the lotion is referred to as "JBL" LOL! ;P

There was a girl at the store who was very excited to get this plush doll. At first I couldn't see who the doll was. Then I saw it was Amy Rose. I went to see where those dolls were ironically the dolls are near toy squeaky hammers. I'm not sure if this was purposely done or just a funny coincidence. The only other Sonic character I saw was Cream. The dolls are about a foot tall and are $4.99. Is that a good deal? :/

I also bought my first piece of Disney Princess merchandise with Tiana on it. Ariel was also on it. I make it a policy to not buy Disney Princess merchandise unless Ariel is on it.

"Celebrate the independence of your nation by blowing up a small part of it."

2011-07-04T00:44:00.002-07:00

Lisa Style 4th of July "Like, you know, whatever!" I should wear a tie dye shirt.
I love this quote from The Simpsons episode "Summer of 4 ft. 2". "Celebrate the independence of your nation by blowing up a small part of it."

I used the phrase "chaotic randomness" I hardly ever use that when I talk.
I use it a lot in my writing. 

I did enjoy Conan hosting and talking about the different movies he likes.
He has good taste in movies.

I helped 2 of my cousins make a meez.

Here is a picture of a fountain.

Here is a picture of some crazy ass fireworks some people near where I was.
Were stetting off.

Goodbye Sam and Sunshine

2011-07-02T23:25:00.002-07:00

Sam and Sunshine are gone from Glee.

A lot of Gleeks are mad about this. Sunshine was only a guest star. She wasn't a central character. She didn't even go to McKinley. Except for the 1st episode.

As for Sam I got a got idea about how to write him out of the show. His family decides to go back to where they come from (I totally forget the state and the glee wiki doesn't list it.) because there is no work in Ohio. And he breaks up with Mercedes.

Plus almost all the "kids" are leaving and I'm using this term loosely. Ok the students. I hope the staff doesn't leave too like Will, Sue, and Emma. The students will be graduating. A few Gleeks thinks this will bring the show into the toilet.

If I wrote for the show I'd bring in some new characters in season 3 that are younger and have them bridge the gap. Like they did with Scrubs with Sunny and Denise.

Who knows what season 4 will bring? It might be good it might be bad. What was my lifespan prediction for Glee? Oh yeah 3 years.

1st of July and Smoke gets in my Eye (because of fireworks)

2011-07-01T02:47:00.000-07:00

I'd better acknowledge the Canadians. HAPPY CANADA DAY!

Here is a picture of somebody Canadian: Cory Monteith.

I should stop being a selfish American I can do that a few days from now.

I finally got my food card. Now I'm legally able in California to touch food! The test was so easy! I really didn't need to take 9 pages of notes. Hopefully this will make me more desirable for employers. I could possibly be touching your food!

My hair is longer and I still can't believe that I can still make a tight and proper bun. It looks like something Lilith Sternin would wear. I was trying to hold back a lot of hair. I even broke a clip. It was a cheapie one from the 99 cents store.

I was at the Angels vs. Dodgers interlaegue game. It was intense. I didn’t realize the rivalry was so strong. It thought it wasn’t that strong since Angels are American League and Dodgers are National League. When I went I wanted to remain neutral, so I didn’t wear either team’s color.

For Tony Gwynn they really need to distinguish between the father and the son. This is especially confusing if somebody remembers when the dad played.

It was hard for me to capture the Dodger fans' rowdiness. They don't throw napkins off the side. I think that is due to the construction of Angel Stadium as opposed to the construction of Dodger Stadium.

Some of the anti-Dodger cheers were “Can‘t Make Payroll!” and “Bankrupt Team” I wanted to start a “team debt” chant. I ‘d like to see somebody make a sign or shirt like that with the “D” in debt using the “D” from the Dodgers logo. I made this very quickly in paint. Excuse the sloppiness. I also like the "McCourt $0" shirt a Dodger fan was wearing. Some of the fans can have fun with this.

I have an idea for a funny song. In LA the local games are shown on KCAL, and the commercials have a little song in them. There is a lyric that goes "If you wanna be a champion then you can't wait any longer". I changed it to "If you wanna get paid then you can't wait any longer". ;P

2011-06-28T12:27:00.000-07:00

I'm working hard on getting that food card. I already took some of the online course. I hope to be done with it by the end of the month. I'm so close I can taste it! (no pun intended)

Ungrateful Wretch

2011-06-27T03:50:00.001-07:00

I'm an ungrateful wretch because I'm not appreciating Nickelodeon's version of the Winx Club. All the voices were changed. Well at least they are calling "Layla" "Aisha" again. I haven't heard the voices yet...

It made me think about when Cloverway took over dubbing for Sailor Moon. At least they kept some of the VAs like Jupiter and Mars. Their voice for Rini was way better than the Dic one. The Dic Rini voice sounded really weird, so weird I could impersonate it. The person who voiced Cloverway Rini went on to voice Kara in Di-Gata Defenders

The one thing I really hope even if the voice actors are different is that there will be more dolls released in the US. The same size and maker. 10 inch Mattel dolls, so I can buy more clothes for my Stella doll.

2011-06-24T03:57:00.000-07:00

Peter Falk died. When I heard he did the name sounded familiar, but I was drawing a blank. I had to look up who he was online. He played Columbo. I use to watch that show sometimes in reruns. LA looked so much different back then. It was so much sparser. Not to sound mean, but I thought he was already dead before this. To anybody looking for a Halloween costume idea thee is one right there.

It made me think of the Lupin the 3rd second series (red coat) episode The Skateboard Murder Mystery. That is a really funny episode. Especially the scene at the football game.

I'm still working on the opposite. I did muster up and reapply to that place they haven't called back, but I'm looking at this with a carefree attitude more than a cynical one.

I heard this beauty tip on tv to wash the front 3rd of my hair if I don't have time. It doesn't work unless I have a detachable spray head shower. That was really bad advice.

Is flat hair back is style again? Has scene hair left the scene? (bad pun)

I know a lot of people say This tv is a bad channel, and doesn't have much to watch on it. I like to watch the Cookie Jar programs they show, Mister Ed, and Pink Panther cartoons.

Try Again?

2011-06-22T02:19:00.000-07:00

I noticed that a job I applied to is hiring again. I went there 3 months ago, and it was strange. I thought of the place being like Kruger Industrial Smoothing.

If the place is hiring again what does that really mean?

I'm really unsure if I should reapply. I'm really debating this. If they do call me back this time at least I'll know where the place is this time. I guess I should do it what's the worst that could happen?

Legality

2011-06-21T03:35:00.000-07:00

It is funny that Shirley and I were sort of on the same wavelength.

Before I read her facebook note about how her conversation went about her work being "too noir".

I was thinking about when I was a freshman in college and I was more concerned with the school's culture than with the actual learning. I remember what my dead friend wrote me in a letter. I was thinking of quoting it directly, but since she is dead. I didn't want to get mixed up in the legality of it. To paraphrase it. She wanted to know if I was studying at college, and not just focused on music and fashion.

I have to admit now that was one of my downfalls. It's just when I go to a new school I don't know the culture; sometimes that can get me in trouble. I feel like Gus from Recess. :(

Hello, Double Chocolate!

2011-06-20T02:51:00.001-07:00

I picked up more panda cookies they are chocolate chocolate Hello Panda cookies. I haven't tried them yet. When I do. I'll write a review on them. There were other flavors at the store like vanilla cookies with vanilla filling and vanilla cookies with strawberry flavoring. I'm not really big on strawberry flavoring. I didn't like the Koala's March strawberry ones. I wish there would have been "reverse" cookies. Chocolate cookie with vanilla filling.

Picture of my Father

2011-06-19T04:10:00.001-07:00

I read something funny online about father's day. That facebook users can post a picture of their dad as their profile pic. That is so funny! Maybe I should post a picture of my dad. A drawing I made. LOL! XD
