This beautiful in it's badness. I have no idea how this had gone under my radar till I saw it in a blog. There's bats, fireworks, whales...no bad effect was spared for this masterpiece of a musical number. But it's Tim Curry so it's somehow all ok. |

"Here is the list of finalists for the contest. I'm only going to list studio names to keep some of the surprise, so if you see your name, it means you have at LEAST 1 video in the contest." So they're keeping us in the dark as to which videos actually made the cut. Grah! lol. I submitted two videos, so I'll just have to be in suspense until next Friday to see if both made it or just one...and if one WHICH one. Here's the two I submitted though, for your viewing pleasure. There's versions of both of these on You Tube, but not the final versions. If only one made it, I really hope it was the first one, it's definitely my favorite of the two. |

The DC sniper was put to death last night. I'm not pro death penalty at all, which is hard when most of the people around you are, especially when it came to this particular case. It was increasingly harder to just bite my tongue when the comments became increasingly more crude and I didn't want to start a big fight. I remember it happening though, hard to believe it was 7 years ago. I was actually out in Kansas for a about a week of it and I remember distinctly watching it on the news and the people in Kansas thinking I lived in some sort of warzone or something. Weird feeling, that. When I got home I remember just being absolutely disgusted with all the people freaking out and like ducking and covering at the gas station. People I worked with at Kohls would dash out to their cars at night all hunched over. And of course the news plastered people doing that acros the screen every single night. It did nothing but feed into the fear and paranoia which is exactly what he wanted. I tend to look at things in a somewhat more rational light. There are 5.3 million people in the DC metro area. The odds that you would be shot and killed were tremendously low. Your odds of dieing in a fireball in a car crash are by far higher...there's wrecks on the beltway EVERY DAY...and that doesn't seem to stop a lot of people from going across 4 lanes of traffic in 15 seconds. Ya the idea of random killings and somebody maybe being out there was a bit unnerving but really you take your life into your hands in some way every day...you never know when you might be part of a freak toaster accident or such. |

| Civil rights of a minority should never be decided by a majority. Way to fail Maine. In fact I'd be willing to bet that, if put to a vote, the civil rights of non white people would be voted down in several parts of the south even today. | |||

 The Renaissance Faire was good fun and merriment despite being cold and wet and having to slog through the mud. It figures the weekend we'd planned on going it'd drop from being in the 70s to being in the low 40s. I didn't dress up this time though, mostly out of not wanting to ruin an outfit with mud. The one in Maryland is the second largest in the country and a permanent structure so it's all kinds of awesome. I love too how it doesn't even pretend to be even remotely historical. Everything from the attendees dressed up to the stuff they sell in the stores leans much more towards fantasy. Being there kind of feels like being inside a theme parky version of a fantasy novel (or a game of D&D)...which suits me just fine since fantasy novels are my bread and butter. Speaking of food, the Ren Faire has some of the best ever. Most of it a bit odd and all of it bad for you. Generally it comes fried and on a stick.  I had the mac and cheese on a stick, fried pickles, and chocolate covered cheesecake on a stick. And also since they don't even pretend like the merry making brought on by alcohol isn't a major part of the atmosphere, you can't go more then a few feet without stumbling upon a tavern, and I loves me some mead. Even the prizes for the games there are free beers. I think I may have shortened my life span a bit.  |

In loving memory of Captain Lou.... This was the VERY first flash cartoon I ever saw (god, how far flash has come). Also funny is that my parents had a 45 record single of this...AND they had this crazy record album of wrestlers singing and this song was on it. I absolutely loved it when I was a kid. Course, I'll most remember him for being Mario. lol. Me and Jeremy in fact "did the Mario" every single time we watched this as kids. Ah....memories. There's also of course him playing Cyndi Lauper's dad in the Girls Just Wanna Have Fun music video...another iconic bit of my childhood. lol. |

I was originally meh to the idea of carving pumpkins this year since I'm not gonna BE here on Halloween, but foam ones were on sale at the craft store so I figured what the heck, since I'd be able to save them. Carving real pumpkins is fun while they're fresh, but get pretty quickly disgusting. It sucks watching something you worked so hard on rot and then come the fruit flies. It got to the point last year by Halloween they were kinda slimy and gross to the point of not really wanting to even reach into them to light the lights. Squirrels also totally ate my Obama pumpkin last year (must have been Republicans). Plus they shrivel and start looking crappy (I solved this last year by filling giant trashcans up with water and soaking the pumpkins for several hours and they perked up). In the end though it was still something that took close to 2 hours to do and it went out in the trash. So foam. It's...weird...carving them. It's not like a real pumpkin at all. Not having to gut and scrape the pumpkin is awesome and saves some time, but overall foam is more difficult. The biggest thing is that it's not as sturdy, so carving the really thin parts is exceeeeeedingly difficult. Foam also has more resistance when you're cutting it and is very, very dusty. Like...I'm so used to carving real pumpkins and it just feels SO different that that also made it kinda hard. Still though, the pros (namely being able to keep them) outweigh the cons, so I'll probably get more foam ones in the future. I carved the Mario and Princess Peach pumpkins again this year. What can I say, I'm a nerd and like having Mario pumpkins. Plus they're always a REALLY big hit. Now, hopefully, I'll never have to carve these two ever again. Take that nature.  |

I have a hard time believing that the new gaming consoles have been out for a few years now. Man where has time gone. Despite the fact that I do consider myself a gamer I have yet to actually get any of the new systems. So far none of them have any games that I really want badly enough to shell out the money. For me at least none of them so far have any must haves, so the only new games I'm getting have been for DS. Anyway though, it's almost impossible for my brain to comprehend the Gamecube being kind of old now. Maybe it's because my PS2 has been part of my life for close to a decade now and I only really somewhat recently got a Gamecube. Having one now though kind of feels like I'm late to the party and only now discovering how fun a lot of the games I was originally didn't pay much of any attention to when they first came out. It makes me feel old though...I remember being at a Best Buy when they were having a launch party for Star Fox Adventures and I got a lanyard and temporary tatoo of Krystal despite not owning a cube or having any idea at all what the game was about. The games all still like new ones to me O_o |

Dear journal, Today Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize, Nasa blew up part of the moon, and Marge Simpson is on the cover of Playboy. When did I cross into a weird parallel reality? |

| I can't decide if I want to carve pumpkins this year. I'm likely not going to be home on Halloween this year, which takes a lot of the fun out of the ridiculously elaborate ones I usually carve, since reactions are so great. Plus what good is having pumpkins if you aren't around handing out candy? I was looking at fake ones you can carve, which would be nice since the ones I do take several hours and it sucks when they start to rot. The big drawback is that they're really expensive though. Like...REALLY expensive. I could probably afford to only buy and carve one. | |||

I love Toy Story, and I remember going to see the first one when I was 13 and having it just utterly blow my mind. It's one of those few movies I can watch over and over and almost every time notice something new or finding something else to love. I was so happy to be able to see the movies again in a theater. Getting two movies for the price of one is cool...except that it's extra for a 3D movie so it still was 14 dollars a person. The 3D added depth...and kinda made it feel more like a toy's perspective of the world, which was neat, but it's nothing mind blowing. There was also an exclusive new trailer for 3, which looks pretty awesome. Andy's all grown up and going off to college. lol. I've looked online, and they've done an awfully good job of keeping it off the internet. We were, at first, the ONLY people in the theater, which would have been awesome. But then right before the movie a group of people walked in and...wow. They were either high or incredibly stupid, I honestly can't tell you which. They were much older then me though, so I dunno. They laughed really loudly and at inexplicable things. It's also one of my absolute biggest pet peeves at a movie to have somebody feel the need to point out something extremely obvious that just happened on screen or to repeat a joke just said and laugh at it again like they were the clever one to come up with it. I love seeing movies...I really wish it wasn't so expensive here. Plus I used to ALWAYS get popcorn...I checked tonight though and a small (and small is REALLY small) is 6 dollars, and I just can't justify that. Instead me and Ben stopped at 5 Below on the way, since they sell the exact boxes of candy they sell at theaters. I've realized now though that Charleston Chews, Dots, and Cookie Dough bites are a lethal combo and I think have formed a non digesting brick in my stomach. Ugh. |

It blows my mind, somewhat, to know that this exists (and worse that I remember it). Though I need to download this episode so I can make icons of the princess in her Milli Vanilli shirt. lol. I also like how they probably couldn't actually afford to license any songs, so it's the same generic bit of music over and over. |

Ok, and it is completely hilarious to me that they chose Manassas for this one. |
