KCET Forecast

The proposed programming for KCET once it goes independent looks bad. A few of those programs can be seen on UTB. When they show their NHK feed. Maybe they'll show Sense of Japan and Nihongo Quick Lesson at a decent time. Maybe they will show some anime or Japanese programs UTB and FCI don't show.

Maybe they'll show this movie I saw on the station many years ago about a boy who helps a whale get to heaven. It was a foreign film.

I don't want to be bombarded with constant Huell Howser programming. It gives my dad ideas about where he wants to go. He has become too influenced by the tv. I still wonder what they will show for children's programming? I guess they can still show Big Green Rabbit. America's Test Kitchen. for cooking programming.

Besides me complaining about KCET proposed schedule. I tried to get a phone soliciting job today like I predicted they wanted experience as usual. How hard is it to sell pest control over the phone?

It was so funny in The Office when Phyllis asked Kelly which character in Glee is named Glee. It sounds like something one of my parents would say. Like when my dad would pester me during The OC and constantly ask who every character was.

First Season Fresh

In Glee Rachel's sweater with the poodle was so cute. The whole episode was ok I guess. That guy kissing Kurt made me gasp. Either that or my mouth was gaping open. The problem I'm having with the second season of the show is that a lot of themes seem to be rehashed. I guess the first season of any show is always the freshest. I had the same problem with Friends and The OC.

I did not enjoy that "Stop in the Name of Love"/ "Free Your Mind" mash up. Why does there have to be so many mashups on the show? "Free Your Mind" could have held it's own. Hearing that song makes me feel like I'm in 3rd grade again and dressing horribly.

Halloween Memoirs

I was inspired by my memoir class to write a book of Halloween memoirs. I turned in a Halloween story for class. The only reason I did was because it was the only story I had finished at the time. The due date crept up on me. I wrote about Halloween 1994. I didn't want to write too many Halloween stories and bore everybody by writing about the same topic. I didn't want to be known as the person who wrote all those Halloween stories or something like that. This was a concern of mine during that semester.

Jump off a Bridge

I want to make a correction from my last blog. In not thinking for myself I mean going along with the group practically no matter what. It's like that "jump off a bridge" statement. Hell yeah I would if everybody else was.

I also need to hold my tongue. It's gotten me in too much trouble.

Thoughtless

I've come to the conclusion that thinking for myself has gotten me into a lot of trouble, so I decided I'm not going to anymore. It will make things so much simpler. I hate when people tell you to think for yourself just so you can listen to them.

I'm happy the McRib is back!
I haven't had one since I went to the Ferguson taping last year.

How funny was The Office? I sounded like Michael when he wanted to go to Mexico to go help build a school. Remember how Letterman got me all riled up about not doing my part and such? (Letterman is so out of touch) Andy just went along to impress Erin. It reminded me of when I wanted to do volunteer work because my cousin was doing it. Now I want to volunteer to build my resume.

Conanchu

Here are some costume ideas I have for next Halloween:
Beef Jerky (not a bag, but an actual piece)
A McRib sandwich (perhaps I can use upholstery foam)
Lydia from the Beetlejuice cartoon
Tickled Pink from Rainbow Brite (80s)
Some kind of box costume
Shirley from the "Bleed Like Me" video (I'd need to find a good dress though) I can always pass it off as a nurse costume for people who don't know.

This year I wanted to have some kind of meat themed costume, but I shied away from it after Lady Gaga wore that meat dress. I didn't want people to think I was copying her or something.

After all these years I've never dressed as an object for Halloween like a cell phone, or grandfather clock. I also have not dressed as food; ever. I have only been characters, celebrities careers, or monsters.

I think I'll add having a really elaborate homemade Halloween costume to my bucket list.

Even though I didn't dress as Rachel Berry for Halloween I'm sort of glad. No disrespect to Lea Michele or the Gleeks. Then I would not have been able to scare people. I think people would not have gotten my costume. Although me singing is scary. I could have broke into spontaneous song singing "Run Joey Run".

I was also planning an oil spill costume. I was going to make it out of a brown unused trash bag. I was going to print out the BP logo and a picture of the oil cam. I was going to make my face look dirty like it was smeared with oil.

I decided to Conanize my pikachu. Doesn't it look funny? That is it's costume. I took the pic while I was just messing around in my room. I posed pikachu next to a dog. It sort of looks like Triumph. For me to poop on! I didn't submit it into the contest.
