If I was a Rich Girl, I'd Match my Clothes, If I was a Weathly Girl

I'm still felling really lethargic.

While I was watching The Office this one quote from Dwight made me laugh so much. "Wait less matching to appear more rich?" That totally sounds like something my dad would say. After I heard that on the show I couldn't stop laughing. Perhaps the person who wrote that knows my dad. When I was a kid he would always tell me that matching monochromatic clothes gave off the appearance that you are rich. When he use to work in an office he use to coordinate his underwear with his socks (true story!) LOL XD He use to get me to dress like that when I was a kid. I liked the monochromatic look when I was like 4. It reminded me of contestants on Double Dare. The monochromatic look really works if you are a Loli, a Color Kid from Rainbow Brite, or doing some kind of photo spread for a magazine.

I thought it was funny when Erin didn't understand the concept of disposable cameras. How old is she suppose to be? Erin is a bit off. At least she didn't think there was some kind of outside packaging on the camera.

Blame Me in the East

It's been so hot for the past few days. Record breaking hot. I expect this scorcher to come to the east soon. I'd give it a few days. My parents tell me that it won't be going that far. What do they know? None of us have a degree in meteorology. It was so hot it broke a temperature record set in 1990.

I wasn't even in the mood to go Halloween shopping. I still did anyway. I still couldn't find anything that I liked. I'm leaning towards something scary.

This spaghetti costume is ugly. Why is it labeled "spaghetti"? The only Halloween costumes that should be labeled is when somebody dresses up as some kind of packaging or they are wearing one of those old style smock costumes. I guess I don't have any taste since Simon Doonan designed them. The dog version of this costume is really cute though.

I like these spaghetti costumes better.

Heathcliff has a plastered on Cookie Jar logo. Which made me miss the Dic one a little. I got some bad info about Magi-nation being season 2 episodes, but they are just the season 1 episodes for now. When I watched She-ra on the new Qubo Night Owl block. As I'm watching these old cartoons I just pretended I'm watching old commercials.

Reminiscing about Holly

This will be the last time I complain about Roberto's announcing. Unless he gets the job as announcer. He is just auditioning. I just want to say one thing about the role of the announcer on The Price is Right. That person has a pretty important role on the show. They describe the prizes and narrate the showcases. But if the show changes way too much I'll say it won't make it past season 42. It's on 39 right now. They have already gotten rid of the pantomimed showcases (which I personally liked), got rid of animals up for adoption (I heard that was discontinued due to Drew using a cordless mic and that the frequency would bother the animals), Adding random celebrities in the show, and too many theme shows. I do enjoy the Halloween ones. I'm not sure who the show is trying to cater to. College students?

When I first got the internet I found this website that had all these old tv theme songs (audio files) and it also had (the old) The Price is Right queue music. I would play it and announce fake prizes over the music. If I was a real announcer I would be a horrible one. I tend to mumble things. Here's what I would sound like "Bikes (mumbling)...Huffy." I use to think that voice over work and voice acting are the same thing. Speaking of queue music did The Price is Right start using old Finders Keepers queue music?

I have mentioned Holly occasionally in my blog. I remember some of the games she would help with like turning the turntables for Plinko and punching the numbers on the giant calculator for Check Out before it became automated. I'll rephrase that the game became automated sometime after she left the show.

I didn't realize the median age of people who watch the show is 63. So that means me and an 89 year old are evening it out.

Ready to go not to go to School in Thinner Shorts

The recent hot spell is making me feel lethargic. I’ll have to pull out my slightly thinner shorts. (A little Conan O‘Brien humor) :P

I went to the dollar store and picked up a few accessories. They might possibly be used for a costume. I picked up 2 pairs of gloves. A long black pair. They were made irregular. The thumb part is as long as the fingers. Well they were a dollar. I think my mom and I can alter the thumb part. I got a pair of “witch” gloves. They are just black gloves with long glittery fingernails glued onto them. I think I’ll add a clear coat of nail polish to keep the glitter from falling off the nails. I picked up a devil dress up set. It’s just a headband with horns and a tail. I’ll have to get my own pitch fork. I bought some creepy cloth. It is usually not suppose to be used for costumes and is for decorative proposes only. I think I can use it to make a creepy shawl or something.

I got an email from one of my former classmates. I didn’t notice it. I haven’t checked that account in 2 days. I accidentally found the message when I was looking for another email. Never mind it was for something that already happened. It’s like that time I tried to join the anime club and missed the email. It included some pretty dorky (unrelated) things. How do they expect to get the whole group together again? Isn’t it like Humpty Dumpty? I for one can say I’m not coming back. Well not by choice, but like I said before unless I fall ass backwards into some money really really soon I won’t go. They can have withdrawals before the class happens. Should I quote Glee and “Run Baby Run” again? I’ll ponder that while eating fries (or should I have international desserts instead?) and listening to the song. I got a proposal for somebody who really wants the group intact they can pay all my fees and stuff to bring me back to class.

I really liked this note Shirley recently posted on facebook. I'll also mention her new song "Lighten Up". It's a rawer song than the ones she previously posted. I like the simplicity of it. I like it more than "Pretty Horses" but less than "In the Snow".

You know what songs I’ve been listening to lately? “Ready to Go” and “Drop Dead Gorgeous” by Republica. “Ready to Go” is a great video. A lot of people confuse Republica with Garbage. Even when I was younger I could tell Saffron’s voice from Shirley’s.

Lupin the 3rd series III (my final thoughts)

Now that I have watched all of Lupin the 3rd series 3. I can agree that the character's design improve towards the end of the series. I know what bothered me about Fujiko's design so much. It was her eyes. They just looked strange. Especially the bottom lashes. It looked like she was wearing too much mascara and got "spider eyes". Goemon also looked poorly designed. His face looked weird. About halfway through the series they started looking better. I don't know why Jigen has brown hair in this series. In the other 2 his hair is black. Lupin's face looked goofier than usual in this series. The character design of the other characters not the main 5 looked simplistic and most of the women looked the same. They just had different hair. Some of them looked a lot like Fujiko (and they weren't her is disguise)

The episodes were in my opinion hit or miss. I either liked them or thought they were boring. Some were really funny though. I really liked the episode "A Cocktail Named Revenge"(episode #30). It's very Hamlet-esque.

More Costume Ideas

I still haven't come up with a costume yet. I really wanted to make a McRib costume, but I'm not exactly sure how to make one. I'd need at least 1-2 years to work on that. I was also thinking about dressing as beef jerky, but I wasn't sure how to make the costume the right texture and what materials to use to construct it. I was thinking either expandable spray foam, a brown vinyl tablecloth or a mattress pad. I want to dress as a piece of jerky it's self and not a bag. A bag costume would be easy. All you would need to do would make some kind of beef jerky label. Sometimes food costumes can fun, interesting and creative.

My mom keeps suggesting really lame costume ideas. Some of them aren't even costumes. She keeps telling me about wearing headbands. Like those one that are decorated with Halloween stuff. They have like a felt witch hat or a felt pumpkin glued to them. Another suggestion was to glue black tulle to a headband I don't even know what that would be. Is that some kind of costume or something?

I picked up these cute hair clips. The scan came out blurry. The cat on it reminds me of the cat from Emily the Strange. Is she still popular anymore?

I watched the season 2 premiere of Glee. It made me think about dressing as a character from the series for Halloween. I can't dress as Rachel because I don't have any clothes that make me look home-schooled. I wanted to dress as Sue, but I don't have any tracksuits. Plus I'd have to get a short blond wig. After watching the show I wanted a New York City shirt like they wore when they sang "Empire State of Mind". I'd get a shirt like theirs and sing the song. Only Gleeks would know what I'm dressed as. I'm not going to fully recap the episode, but I thought the funniest part was when Rachel and Sunshine were singing "Telephone" in the bathroom, and Sue tells them to "Shut Up!". I laughed so hard during that part. Sunshine had a really cute Hello Kitty backpack.

Here are some other costume ideas I came up with. They might be lame. A 90s costume and a devil. It would be cool to dress as a character from a music video, but an older one. Like the light bulb head man from the "Push It" video. But nobody would really get it unless you are a Garbage fan. What if I come up with a costume that is from a music video, but still looks identifiable. Like if I dressed like Gwen from the "Simple Kind of Life" video. People would just think I was a pink haired bride or something.

After I wrote that blog yesterday about This tv's new kids' block I remembered that I wrote a review for that Dance Revolution show in my old myspace blog. I'll post it in my archives blog.

Heathcliff, Heathcliff, no one Should

This was originally going to be a blog about stickers, but I decided to combine them.

I'm very excited that Heathcliff will be on This TV soon. They are showing a few older shows like Inspector Gadget. (which I don't care for) They are going deep into the Dic/Cinar/Cookie Jar library. Maybe they will eventually show Photon and Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad. They are also showing Sonic Underground which I never got to see all of. They are showing The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. This is the version with Tails, Scratch and Grounder. "I'm waiting!" One of my favorite episodes was when there was a country song written about Sonic. The Wacky World of Tex Avery is on this block too. Pompeii Pete was my favorite segment.

There are also some shows that are not really my taste. That horrible Dance Revolution show. Cake was a good show. Too bad they only made 13 episodes. I got sick of watching the same ones.

At least they aren't showing The Littles oo The Little Clowns of Happytown. Never really liked those shows.

The Pink Panther Show is on this block, but it is not a Cookie Jar property. It's MGM who has part This TV. Maybe they will eventually show Pink Panther and Sons or the 1990s Pink Panther cartoon where he talked. I'm not sure who owns the rights to the sons cartoons.

I wonder if they can't show programs like the Get Along Gang and Rainbow Brite because they are ultimately owned by the company that created them American Greeting and Hallmark respectively. I would have added Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater, What-a-Mess, Kissyfur, and Beverly Hills Teens to the block.

I don’t know why people confuse Heathcliff with Garfield. Ok, they are both striped orange cats who are in comic strips, had their own cartoon series in the 80s, and their voice actors are dead Mel Blanc and Lorenzo Music respectively.

Here are some scans of my Heathcliff stickers. They combine two 1980s sticker trends. The great thing about these stickers is they are both puffy and scented. They use to smell like grape. I don’t know why my scanner tends to make the pinks washed out. They are much more vibrant than that. The hearts weren’t scented. You can see the scent on the stickers it’s that textured part. In the stickers Sonja was depicted with different colored bows. In this comic she has a red bow. In the cartoon she always wore a pink bow.

This cartoon had a big influence on me. When I was a kid I use to hit trash cans with a sick like he did and got in trouble. I always wanted a Catillac like the Catillac Cats had. Here's a picture of Cleo for the fans to lust after.
