Enviro-“mental”

I had this strange dream about my parents my mom had the power to teleport she was bothering me while I was trying to cook leeks for soup or something. My dad was upset because his Buick got in an accident and was totaled. He was also upset because somebody offered to buy the broken car off him for $1.25.

I forgot it was Earth Day until I saw it mentioned on The Price is Right. I wrote a funny Earth Day tweet referencing a lyric from "What are we Gonna Do?". I wrote "Happy Earth Day send the message".
Later when I was looking for a video on one of my tapes I found the video for the Dramarama song "What are we Gonna Do?" this was purely coincidental I was looking for a Moby video.

Back in 1999 my high school threw an Earth Day fair type thing. I remember part of the outfit I wore that day. I wore a blue jacket with a black faux fur collar and a pikachu shirt. It looks like the jacket Gwen is wearing in this picture. I was my first time wearing that pikachu shirt to school. The jacket was low cut, so the pikachu was prominently shown.

I spent most of my time with my friend and her boyfriend. The games were free. Most of the prizes given out were mostly junky fish shaped things. They reminded me of my pet fish. A few games were giving out erasers.
They were those ones that look like the world. The student government was making and giving out balloon animals. The problem was that they hadn’t practiced, and there were only 2 girls making them. When we got there it looked like they were just opening up a klutz book and a pack of balloons. About 1%-3% of the students at the fair got a balloon animal or hat.

The food was gross. The only food they were selling were overly greasy Rice Krispie treats and cucumber with chili powder on top. My friend bought some treats and they were so greasy we could barley hold on to them. They were sliding out of our hands, and they were wrapped.


I got bored with hanging out with my friend and her boyfriend. I was just a 3rd wheel. I decided to wander around on my own. I "ran into" my crush twice. Later I ran into my math tutor. There was a craft area and I tried to make some kind of pom pom animal with tacky craft glue, but it fell apart. I purposely ran into my crush, and told him that the ugly necklace he made was good. I wanted him to comment on my coat. There were also some sea animals that could be pet. I pet those. Then I wanted to play a game and the guy running it (a student) said let the Pokemon girl play. I thought this was hilarious.


In my class after the fair most of the people in the class were pelting each other with the erasers given as prizes. That class was composed of mostly hooligans, and the teacher had no control over the class.


When my math teacher saw a balloon dog somebody had. He said it was made wrong. He tired to fix it. He said somebody's balloon hat looked pornographic. (it sort of did)

Entertain Me! Then Feed Me!

This is a blog about the entertainment and food trends of the decade. This blog is probably the weakest of all my "looking back at the decade" blogs.

Disney
Now Disney has been around for a while, but I’m talking about those tween shows like Hannah Montana and That’s So Raven. Don’t forget their movies like High School Musical, the Cheetah Girls and Camp Rock. Oh yeah and Disney music.

PokémonA trend that carried over from the 90s. Did Pokémon ever really go away? They just added more characters and Pokémon. I can’t wait until Pokémon Uranium comes out!

Pirates
I’m not talking about the baseball team.
After Pirates of the Caribbean everybody wanted to be a pirate. The funny thing was I always wondered was did all pirates along time ago wear dreadlocks and eyeliner?

Vampires
The thing that debunked the pirates; they are hotter than ever. Better not eat that garlic! Now they do silly things like sparkle. I liked when they wore capes or when Buffy was slaying them.

Penguins

They were really popular with movies like March of the Penguins Happy Feet, and Surf’s Up. They were everywhere and trendy.

This is the music portion of the blog. Please don’t complain if I accidentally misclassified something.

Nu Metal
This genre was really popular at the beginning of the decade and pretty much held on strong.

Garage Rock
This genre started off strong at the beginning of the decade.

Boy Bands
They carried over from the 90s, and pretty much lost their popularity by around 2002.

Emo Music
Don’t get mad at me and tell I’m misclassifying music. I’m talking about the early 2000s emo that came out. There was some spillage from the late 90s. Then there was that wave after it when a lot of bands were being misclassified as emo. It was used as umbrella for a lot of music that didn’t belong to the genre.

Pop Punk
This is a genre a lot of people hate. I like it. Kill me ok? I have a crush on Mark Hoppus. *blushes* This genre waxed and waned throughout the decade.

Reggaeton
Ok I’ll admit I never really listened to Reggaeton. “Gasolina” is probably only one of reggaeton songs I can name.

I’m gonna talk about food trends.

Low Carb Craze
This was started by the Atkins Diet and other similar plans. You couldn’t go anywhere without find something that said “low carb”. I sort of liked this trend. You could just eat meatballs and no pasta. (I don’t really like pasta). I embraced it …sort of. It was the low carb wraps I couldn’t stomach.

BaconI loved bacon ever since I can remember. A lot of people say that it has become a trendy food due to the low carb craze. Bacon isn’t exactly a new food or anything though.

Boba
Well you know my views on boba.

Fan Art!

Ok enough about Halloween costumes for now.

Here is a blog showing some of my fan art. I felt this was not worthy of posting on deviantart.

I drew all of these in 2002 except for the Mew Cloudberry one. I drew that one earlier in the month. I decided I’d stop teasing this drawing.
Mew Cloudberry is one of my new Tokyo Mew Mew fan characters. I got the idea for her while I was watching the Dotch Cooking Show and a cloudberry was one of the fruits they mentioned in that episode. After that I looked up what a cloudberry was and where it was grown. It thought it would be fun to add an orange colored Mew. They have a bunch of other colors; Berry-white, Ichgo-pink, Ringo-red, Lettuce-green, Mint-blue, Zakuro-purple, Pudding-yellow. Also I didn’t want her name to be from a common food like Mew Carrot, Mew Orange, Mew Tangerine, or Mew Kumquat.

Character profile; Cloudberry is from the United Kingdom. Her animal is the red fox. Her weapon is the Cloudberry Sword and her attack is “Cloudberry Sword Parade!” I have another Tokyo Mew Mew fan character that I also made up who is from the UK. But I haven’t drawn her yet.
This is a parody of the album cover “Tragic Kingdom”. The joke among my friends was that I liked pikachu and Gwen Stefani so much why not combine them and make Pikagwen? Pikagwen is more pikachu than human. Sometimes Pikagwen has hair. It doesn’t really talk or sing either aside from saying “pika!” and stuff like that. I was bored one day in class at school so I drew this. It was hard to get the pose right since pikachu has a stocky body. I was going to draw other Pokemon in the background besides Togepi, but I never did. I think I was going to draw a Charmander, Squirtle, and a few others. That dotted circle in the background is not an orange it’s the moon.
This drawing was inspired by Casey. A character from Pokemon who loves baseball. If I remember correctly. I added Gwen to the drawing because I had a dream about Gwen playing baseball. Originally Gwen’s bat said “bat” on it. O_o One of my friends said it looks like Gwen is hitting pikachu with the bat. I forget why Gwen’s baseball uniform is red. I had a boring day at school that day, and I was working on the picture throughout the day.

This is a really old Powerpuff Girl style drawing of Shirley Manson. I drew this after I saw her perform during the “Beautifulgarbage” tour. This is a drawing of the outfit she wore at the show. I liked the Powerpuff Girls so much back then I use to draw everybody as a PPG.
