Strange Things Happen at the one-two Point

I have my first Terminator episode review since I moved. I needed to post these a while ago. I have written them out an everything; they just need to be typed out. The show is returning in like 3 days.

This was the first episode I watched after the move. It was so great watching it alone and not being bothered by my parents. I had my little bag of gummi bears. My dad usually bothers me while I’m watching the show and says things like “Has Shirley been on yet?” or “Is that her?”. He usually talks over her dialogue during the show.


How do the shippers of the show feel about John and Cameron?

Shirley looked great in that dress she was wearing. She looks good in gray. She looked great with her hair down it was very brassy. It’s nice when they keep her hair on her face.

Sarah Gale? If that doesn’t scream Wizard of Oz reference I don’t know what does. When Sarah was talking about music she didn’t mention Garbage. One has to question does that band exist in Terminator mythology? It was funny when they said the 80s was far back. Like the first movie?

Nice reference to Azusa. Represent! LOL!

The reason Sherman was killed was because he meddled in the AI. It was cool when Ellison was talking to it. Ellison knows that somebody or something killed Sherman. Weaver is getting suspicious of him. He’s playing into her trap. I hope he doesn’t get killed in the bathroom.

Second Worst Thanksgiving Ever!

This blog needs a little bit of a back story.

Since we were in the process of moving our Thanksgiving was up in the air. We decided to order food from Marie Calendar’s. Since there was still a lot of stuff at the old house I was still living there.

When I was going to sleep I was listening to “Bleed Like Me” (the song). I usually do. It comforts me and helps me sleep. As I was listening to the song with the lights off I saw a strange shadow, and I got really scared. Well at least it wasn’t a bird.

I was really missing my bed. I was tried of sleeping on the floor. It was really taking a toll on my back. I put up with it just to get away from all the craziness of moving.

My mom woke me up at like 8:30 AM. She brought me a chicken biscuit sandwich from McDonald’s for breakfast with hash browns and juice. That was a lot of food for me, and I was a little stuffed. My dad told her to bring me dip and a soda, so I could have that while I watched the parade and the dog show. I already had funyuns at the house with me. I wasn’t feeling it. I felt like Chandler from Friends. Maybe I’ll be like him in future Thanksgivings, but I’m not sure.

I really wanted to see Gwen’s float. I watched the opening credits of the parade to see if Gwen was going to be there. I thought it would be really cool if she was there on her float. She didn’t even have to sing; just be there. Her name wasn’t mentioned. I was disappointed.

A little while later it was Gwen’s float. It wasn’t what I expected. The Harajuku Lovers float left me disappointed. I thought it could have been better. It looked like her perfume bottles came to life. It was sort of creepy looking. Then I thought about all the animosity between the Gwen and Shirley fans which is sort of funny, and I really don’t get it. They are both so inspirational. I know Shirley’s fan’s would rag on Gwen’s float. The perfume bottle looking girls were like blow ups or something, but the arms were waving. There were also some human girls on the float. I’m not sure if they were the real Harajuku Girls or just some actors they hired or something. The commentators didn’t specify. On Gwen’s float I think they were plying “Hollaback Girl”. Shouldn’t they have played “Harajuku Girls”? It would have been more appropriate. Or even “What You Waiting For?”. It was funny because the Dora the Explorer balloon was before Gwen’s float. I forget what was after it though. I wish it would have been the pikachu balloon. I love pikachu. It could have been a Japan theme. Pikachu is from Japan. I love the pikachu balloon. Well I love pikachu in any form.

It was funny when Shontelle almost fell twice on the Ecko float. It was funny when Lauer said there was a school from “La Puenta” California. I had to see what the graphic said. It said “La Puente”, and I was trying to think about what school it was because they were wearing green. I knew it wasn’t Bassett because they are black and gold and I knew it wasn’t La Puente because they are orange and black. If I was still in high school they would have made a big deal about this, but I really didn’t care I was in the process of moving anyway. I just thought it was funny that he got the name wrong. I was really tired, so I decided that I’d go to sleep and wake up to eat. I was a little sad that I was going to miss the pikachu balloon. I go crazy for that.

When I woke up I almost missed the beginning of the dog show. I caught the end of the parade with Santa. I was happy that the toy group was the first group. I love toy dogs. My favorite breed (the pug) is in the toy category. I like all dogs even mutts, but I don’t know why I like toys so much. I guess cause they are so little. I got really hungry and ate a lot during the dog show. When my dad came to pick me up the show was already over.

When we got to the restaurant it was pretty crowded. There was a big line outside. There were a few different lines for different things like for meals, going into the restaurant and pies only. When we got in there. They didn’t have our reservation at all. Things couldn’t get any worse. They had to get the manager. She said they had no reservation under my dad’s name. They asked who I talked to over the phone, but I never got the name of anybody. I was thinking maybe the person who took our reservation over the phone is fired now. (that they got fired before Thanksgiving). They said they would have our meals in 10 minutes. It took a while since it was so crowded. They got our “on demand” order wrong too. They gave us 3 ranch salads, but we fixed that. They almost got the pies wrong too.

When we finally got back it was late and my mom noticed they didn’t give us any cornbread (which they were suppose to). I didn’t care. I just wanted to get out of there. My dad just wanted us to have dinner together since I was eating alone at the other house. Personally I liked it that way. It was a fun little vacation from my family. I found it incredibly peaceful and a little scary.

The food wasn’t that good. I was happy I got turkey instead of ham. The ham was horrible. The glaze was nasty. I loved the potatoes. I ate all of those. The bad thing was that the little trays they put the food in weren’t sectioned, so all the food mixed. I hate mixed food. The stuffing was horrible. I wasn’t even going to touch the vegetables. They looked gross. I was upset because my turkey piece didn’t have much skin on it, and the skin is my favorite part.

After we ate I was really bored. I was mad because I didn’t bring my CD player. I had all the fun stuff back at home. My dad wanted me to say for a while, but why would I? I could sleep over either. I didn’t even have a bed set up. My mom told me this was the worst Thanksgiving she ever had. I told her it was my 2nd worse.

The worst Thanksgiving I ever had was back in like 92 or 93 when I was stuck going to my grandma’s house. I missed watching the Rocky and Bullwinkle marathon because they were watching football at her house. It was so boring over there. I was so bored I mowed down her ice plant down with a push mower. When I was younger when I got bored sometimes I would get destructive.

Somebody was wearing a “Blossom” hat which was the style at the time. (I sound like grandpa Simpson there) One of my cousins was vegetarian and was telling everybody else at the kids’ table about the evils of meat. I didn’t feel like eating anyway because my grandma is a horrible cook. I was also upset because I wanted to eat with my parents. When we finally got home from that horrible experience the marathon was over.

I was so happy to finally get back “home”. I don’t know if I’ll hate Thanksgiving like Chandler from Friends does where he doesn’t even eat Thanksgiving foods, but I’m starting not to like it.

I was happy that Letterman had his mom making pies that year not like the year before when it was the strike and there were no new episodes in the month of November. Tv was so bleak back then.

Winx Club Magazine Review Issue #1


I bought this magazine like 2 months ago at the “ghetto” Dollar Tree. They play ghetto music in there. I mean that store is always dirty. There is always merchandise thrown on the floor. I was surprised they actually had this. I hurt myself trying to get it down from a high pegboard. Too bad they only had this issue and not any others, but one issue is better than none. The best thing is that is come with a free gift! A little purse.



A few days later I went to a “better” Dollar Tree to see if that one had any different copies, but all they had was issue #1. Too bad I could comb the area within a 10 mile radius looking for other issues.

So I finally go the chance to read it yesterday. It has some nice pictures in it. It says it’s a magazine, but I think it’s a comic book. It has some wonderful pictures in it. I feel like making some Winx Club fanart. I found a mistake in it because it says Stella is from Domino. Which she is not she is from Solaria; Bloom is from Domino (or Sparx in the 4kids dub). It was a nice little read though. I could hear the characters’ voices in my head. The story is a little different from the cartoon. It even came with a free trading card. I got a Bloom one… I’m not sure if they all came with the same card or they were randomly inserted into the magazine.
I think it was worth a dollar to me.

I like it Because of my Heritage

Sorry about the lack of blogs. I've been working on some really good ones, but they are pretty long and not done yet. Ok maybe I need to get my shit together.

Anyway I think this blog deserves a little back story. Back when I was a freshman in high school I use to know this girl who was Chinese. She was telling me something about her jade pig necklace. I don't know, but somehow the conversation went into Pokemon. It was like 1998 or 1999 back then. Pokemon was so popular. She was telling me that she only likes Pokemon because it's part of her heritage, and that she had to like it because she's Chinese. I asked if she was Japanese, but she said "no".

So then after she told me that I started thinking about all the different ethnicities I have mixed in me and what I should like. Since I know I'm of Welsh heritage I decided to adopt all of the UK. This explains my affinity for English music especially 2-tone ska. Where I come from English music means English language music and not necessarily music from England. This is very confusing to a lot of people when I talk to them and I say I like English music. I'll say I like No Doubt and people get confused since they were formed in Anaheim. This also explains my love for really strong tea.

I recienlty found out my last name is of Scottish origin. For all these years I thought it was German. Or at least that's what my dad told me. When I use to take French in high school the French teacher told me my last name is French. I do have a little French in me. I found this out my accident. I was googling myself again. When I put in my last name it said it was Scottish which made me think of this quote from the Simpsons by Groundskeeper Willie: "Brothers and sisters are natural enemies! Like Englishmen and Scots! Or Welshmen and Scots! Or Japanese and Scots! Or Scots and other Scots! Damn Scots! They ruined Scotland!"

My last name is not Manson and it doesn't have a Mc or Mac in it either. It doesn't even start with an "M".

Maybe this explains why I like Shirley so much? I don't know. Speaking of Shirley and Scotsmen. She is going to be a guest on Furgeson again. Too bad I can't go the taping. :(

I guess I should embrace my Mexican side more and eat a lot more spicy food. I do like churros and carne asada.

To anybody reading this blog it was meant to be a joke blog please don't be offended.

A Moving Story

Where should I start? I guess the beginning would be the most logical place.

I moved on the 22nd of November. I didn’t sleep well that night. I was anxious, but it was the bad kind; the sick to your stomach kind. I just wanted the day to be over before it began.

Instability scares me. Who isn’t scared by it? I’m the kind of person who thrives on repetitiveness. I like to listen to the same songs over and over. I also like to eat the same kinds of foods. Change freaks me out tremendously it doesn’t even need to be a big one. It can be like a product being discontinued or something like that.

I needed to pack my suitcase because my intuition was going like crazy telling me that the house would not be ready that night. Usually I’m really stupid and I don’t really listen to it. I told myself to trust myself and listen to it. I packed all my “important” stuff I didn’t want to lose.

I felt bad and didn’t feel like eating. I didn’t want to get sick or anything. My dad bought 2 boxes of donuts. I looked in them to see what was there. There were all kinds; cinnamon rolls, rainbow sprinkles, crullers, jelly, glaze, and sugar. No bear claws. I took the closest thing to one; a cinnamon roll. As I was eating it I felt sick.

When my mom called my grandma’s house she was still there. Then my cousins came to help move. They are 14 and 8, and my older cousin who is in his 30s who is their dad. My dad was trying to steer the truck. I know he can’t do it very well. The last time we moved he hit our old Mustang (car). I asked my cousin if her remembered that and he said he did. This time my dad hit the wall that was between our house and the neighbors house. Well at least he didn’t hit the children at play sign or a car. It was so messy on the street because the neighbor across the street was working on repaving his driveway and he had a big truck too and there wasn’t enough room for the both of them. My dad was getting mad. (as usual)

I told everybody I was sleeping over at the old house by myself. I showed them everything I packed away.

When we were packing up my DVDs and videos somebody found my John Cena My Life DVD set and was holding it up and laughing. I shouldn’t have to be embarrassed by my DVD collection. Well at least they didn’t laugh at my No Doubt DVDs. They did say I have a lot of Sailor Moon tapes, and that wasn’t even all of them. There still were some in my room.

As we were packing I put on my cat ears and said I was a random anime fan ^-^. My little cousin was playing with my lizard on a stick. I forgot about that. I had it for a long time. I think I got it like back in ‘92 or ‘93.

When it was lunch we were talking about music. My older cousin wanted to know why I like Garbage and No Doubt so much. I really don’t know I’ve been listening to them since I was 12. I guess I just really enjoyed that female rocker movement of the late 90s. We were talking about a bunch of things like pets, music and high school.

After we ate my little cousins and I seemed like we were all getting in the way. So I told them they could hang out in my room. I still had my radio and we could listen to the CDS I packed in my backpack. All I had were Garbage and No Doubt CDS. I only had those CDS because I didn’t want to lose them. I had no idea when I was going to get my computer back up to charge my MP3 if I used it. It would be much easier for me to use my old portable CD player. Those are my favorite CDS, plus I didn’t want to lose my signed one. My older cousin asked me what “Cherry Lips” is about.

When the truck was all packed up I had to say at the old house and “guard” the left over stuff. There was a lot of stuff left over. Since we didn’t pack all the tvs. I got out an unpacked antenna and started to watch tv. I ended up falling asleep on the floor.

My parents came back and said the house was a mess and that nothing could be set up. My grandma was still there. I had an extremely strong feeling she wouldn’t leave and that we were going to be at the old house, or at least I was. Intuition doesn’t lie.

When we were eating dinner I stood up and the light hit my hair in a way that made it look really red. My mom told me my hair looked like Shirley’s but I was too sad to take the compliment. Usually I’d eat that kind of stuff up.

After dinner I was still just so sad. I listened to music in my room for hours and wrote. We slept on what we could since most of our sheets and stuff were at the other house. I wanted to watch tv, but my dad just yelled at me.

I didn’t sleep well. I was upset and bored. I think I only slept for 3 hours that night.

You know my last blog was sort of out of character for me. I will not apologize for my actions or anything like that. I'm happy I got the scanner and printer back up and working. ^-^ I finally sent out my order for the doll boots I really wanted. I hope they come soon. Getting shoes for that kind of doll are hard to get.

How was your Superbowl Sunday? If you celebrate this unofficial US holiday. I really had no preference this year. It's not like I really follow football or anything. It's just an excuse for me to pig out on a lot of food. I did eat my JR's Beef Jerky. My dad got mad because I wouldn't offer him any. He lost his chance days ago. I haven't felt this down during a Superbowl since Superbowl XXX (30) back in 1996. I was having a lot of problems back then.

I had such a hellish shopping experience at Wal Mart today. I will not be shopping there again. I had to wait 20 minutes while a worker and customer just chatted it up and then they chatted it up with another worker. Worker #0002521 at store #3522. FUCK YOU!

There is nothing really great that they sell there anyway that I can't get somehwere else. They discontineued that good soda I really liked anyway. I was boycotting the store for a while like back in 2004. This is the reason I don't shop at Fry's anymore even though I got my computer there. There is only one store that I constantly go to and I will put up with bad service and that is Sanrio stores.

Perhaps me waiting around and not saying anything shows how meek I really am. I should be more feisty? I am a red head now. I just didn't want to seem like a rude customer. But wouldn't the guy who was just talking be the rude one? What should I expect? It was Wal Mart.
