The Interesting Days Post

WARNING: THIS IS A LONG POST, BUT IT'S MODERATELY ENTERTAINING.
I PROMISE.

I've had some interesting days and haven't posted about them on account of me being a terrible blogger. Hmmm how should I organize this? Bullet points? Bullet points.

• So a few days ago, I was late to work (I'M SO SORRY LIZ!!!!) and as I was rushing out, I noticed that I had parked my car near the sprinklers. I stood there for a second and watched my car getting hit with water... and I thought to myself: "There's no way around it... I'm gonna get wet." So I ran as fast as I could to the driver's side door, opening it as quickly as possible, getting hit with water, and getting water on the inside of the car as well. As soon as I shut the door, the sound of water hitting the window stopped and the hiss of the sprinklers hissed no more. I laughed hysterically all the way to work.
  

• On that same day, I went to go work out with my good friend James the Cop, and it was fun as always. Afterwards, I was starving and I was short on the cash so I thought I'd stop by Wendy's to go enjoy their awesome value menu. I got the works. 5 dollars worth of the works... And like a crazy hobo I started singing to myself all the way back home. I'll paraphrase what it was like: "oooohhhh, that smells awesome! Chicken Nuggets in my stomach! Worked out today, so it's okay! French Fries, Hamburger! Dave Thomas I love you! Wendy's, you're my new favorite fast food!" Ten Minutes Later "DAVE THOMAS YOU BETRAYED ME!!! I TAKE BACK THE NICE THINGS I SAID ABOUT YOU!" So basically, they forgot to bag a few things... like my hamburger. I called them back with the number on my receipt and they told me that they were chasing my car trying to get me to come back. I'm embarrassed to say... that I was probably singing, so I didn't notice. They took my name and told me that I could come back anytime to get my junior bacon cheese burger free of charge. lohl.
  

• On a positive note, Liz told me that I was goin' to Vegas for sure and I did a little dance. Happy Birthday to ME! And THANK YOU LIZ!!!! SMILEY FACE! =]

• On Friday, I was giving Liz a ride home and I got a text from Kellie, so I read it aloud:
  

  I don't know if you spoke to Bonnie, but I don't think that this Phil Noto thing is really for me. After further inspection, it's just pretty much a cock

  This is where Liz and I looked at each other with confused looks. What's "a cock"? Is that like some 1940s slang that we don't know about? bzzzzt ooo another text from Kellie:

  tail party where sketchbooks are frowned upon.

  lol! cock-TAIL party! It all makes sense now! And with that, a new catch phrase was born ("...it's just pretty much a cock"--to be used to describe something lame), and Kellie learned that my phone has a limit to how many characters it can receive.
  

• Bonnie's Movie Night, which I came super late to, was a lot of fun. We watched the credits to The Dark Knight and spotted one particularly unfortunate name... lemme see if I can find it for you...After seeing the name, we discussed how sad it must've been for Mr. Gooch to grow up with a name like... Gooch, and then we started making up fun stories about his life! Kellie thought that it could've been played off as a nickname. But I then re-enacted her thought: "yeah... they call me The Gooch... *wink*" and with that, it suddenly became this really creepy idea, and 'The Gooch' became my nickname for the night. lol, I found another funny name while I was combing the credits for Alan Gooch...hahaha... "They call me The Gooch... *wink* and this is my good friend, The Krochman (Pronounced Crotch Man)"

I think I'll end this post with that last bullet point. The Gooch and The Krochman... what a team. They should make a comic book together. =]

Good Night Blogspot.

POWER RANGERS POST

I was cleaning my room today and finding my old action figures from the 90s...

And I suddenly felt like watching The Power Rangers Movie. It's totally on sale at Target for like 5 bucks. I think I'll go buy it tomorrow... or find it online. lohl... Power Rangers

Anyone wanna play Power Rangers? I know we're reviving kickball and everything, but we should totally revive playing The Power Rangers! We could get helmets and be legit!

I mean... what could be more fun than running around a field wearing helmets and screaming karate-- helmut? hahaha... I just realized how retarded this idea is.

Running around a field wearing helmets and screaming. ah Jesus... that would literally be a retarded idea of fun (ouch! I totally offended someone and I felt it).

I think I'll just stick to watching the movie...

...while wearing a helmet.

Anyway, I must go finish my Art Projects and stuff. I'll leave you with this gem I found on youtube. Anyone who watched the Power Rangers will appreciate this one...

"Bulk and Skull cry Wolf". (hahahaha! I love Trini's face in this [Trini = the Asian] because she's totally thinking: "crazy ass white people... ugh... this would never happen in China"

lol

I should rename this post and title it the Incredibly Offensive Power Rangers Post... )



Good Night Blogspot.

It Feels Very Christmas-y Lately

...at least to me it does.

I've had lots of reasons to smile big for the last few weeks.

Finding Deadpool comics in my box from Kellie was a big one (THANK YOU AGAIN KELLIE! I LOVE THEM!!!). Her note on my Venture Brothers dvds made me smile too (I'm glad you liked the show!!! I can't wait to reference the show now... and have you understand me!!! ...!!!!!!).

And today Terin made me smile, which he's been doing a lot lately because--if you guys didn't know already-- he's a funny guy! His humor wasn't what made me smile today though...

Terin:
I brought you a surprise. It's on my desk. It's not a big deal though
Me:
Oh, I'll make it a big deal no matter what it is. I'm excited!
Terin:
I think you'll like it.
*beep boop beep---b-beep! chk chk*
(that's our office door opening for people who don't know)
Terin:
(grabs the box from his desk)
I brought you some of my old underwear.
Me:
Oh my God...
I'm not sure I wanna make a big deal out of this anymore.
Terin:
I'm kidding. Here.

And I opened the box to find... all of his text books from his class on comic books that he took at CSUN. It was SO random, but it made me smile because we would talk about that class, and he would tell me about how ridiculous it was and how he thought I would like it. I'm really looking forward to reading these books after I finish the Deadpool comics. There's this one on the history of Batman that has some cool pictures in it. And... as Liz told me today, I have a goofy grin on my face. To me it's just my regular grin, but Liz was laughing when she saw me today and when I asked her why, she said it was my 'goofy grin'. =] I like that my happiness is contageous. Contageous to Liz at least.

Another thing that made me smile this week was of course THE IRON GIANT! I'm still recovering from how cool this movie is (I use the present tense because it's still a cool movie to me, and probably always will be!). It's aged so well! It was made in 1999, but if it was released now as a new movie... my head would still explode. I guess I'm trying to say that this movie made my head explode when I saw it a few days ago. I'm hyping it up a lot for people who haven't seen it, but I don't care-I wanna see it again!

So far I've gone into the happy times I've been having as of late, but not so much the actual Christmas-y times as my blog title dictates. I guess the best way to describe my sense of Christmas-ness in the air is... with a question mark. I really don't know. I just feel like it's Christmas this year. The music, the colors, just in general, I'm feeling it...

I was reading Bonnie's blog today, and "All I Want For Christmas" by Mariah Carey started playing. I normally turn off blog/myspace music because I'll have my iTunes up, but I stopped my Asian Banjo Music and listened to Bonnie's Christmas music for a while and left it on while I read some comic books. The funny thing about Christmas music is that I love it... but only during this time of year. It's the same with turkey for me. I only really eat turkey once a year (I don't count deli turkey as TURKEY turkey), and it's one of my favorite foods. Maybe it's the fact that I enjoy these things for a short time out of the year, which makes them that much better to me. Anyway, Mariah Carey can sing yo.

Speaking of Mariah Carey... Watch this video all the way through. TRUST me. When it gets to 2:45 and the song picks up..OMG. Just watch it and laugh. It's something fun from Korea.



Good Night Blogspot.

POSTSCRIPT!
I... am so glad I found this...
I don't expect you to understand... but please try.
LOLLLL I feel embarrassed for this guy...
but he makes me laugh too much to care.

Ronnica was right Jennifer Park.

Iron Giant Post!

There's not much to post about this movie other than the fact that I loved it!
I mean... I always love Robot movies, but this Robot had a dent in his head, just like I do! AND he was voiced by Vin Diesel, just like I am! ...I'm just happy right now. And when I'm happy, I feel a little crazy. Who wants to watch the Iron Giant again with me???

lohl. Good Night Blogspot.

Response to Kellie's December 1st Blog

So I thought I'd play Kellie's iTunes game; the rules of which can be seen here. I pray that no embarrassing guilty pleasure music comes up during this shuffle of fate... but here goes:

• Opening Credits: Happiness Is A Warm Gun - The Beatles (... My life soundtrack is off to a weird start)
  
• Waking Up: Hey - The Pixies ("Hey! Must be a devil between us, or whores in my head, whores at my door, whores in my bed" ... I like that my waking up music has whores in it)
  
• First Day At School: Live A Little - Gym Class Heroes (Guilty pleasure, but really... it's a catchy ass song. Don't you judge me! 0_0)
  
• Falling In Love: Wake Up - Rage Against The Machine (lol... the songs were matching up somewhat up until this point. I guess I'll be falling in love with someone who really likes The Matrix movies? For real though, this song is tight, for sheezy)
  
• Fight Song: I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor - Arctic Monkeys (oh dear Lord... "bang buhbuh bang go--- I bet that you look good on the dancefloor" My fight scene sounds like it's gonna be pretty gay. I hope we're break dance fighting... not that that would be much better.)
  
• Breaking Up: Lockdown - Fugazi (lolll, I love Fugazi, but the dude sounds drunk as hell all the time. Very appropriate for a break up song I suppose. Well played iTunes shuffle... well played.)
  
• Prom: Bad Mouth - Fugazi (I hate it when my shuffle does this. And after I said "Well Played iTunes shuffle" I get Fugazi again, so looks like I'm gonna have some slurred speech and conflict at my prom. Kinda accurate...)
  
• Life: Little Busters (Reply) - The Pillows (aww... I love The Pillows! And this version of Little Busters is very cloudy and psychedelic. Don't know what that says about my Life theme)
  
• Mental Breakdown: Strike A Blow - Street Dogs (Once again, the song doesn't quite fit the category, but I love the Street Dogs. The lead singer gave me a free poster at one of their shows, and I took it into the pit while they were playing... and let's just say that it was one of the best ideas I ever had. The poster got destroyed, and after the show, they gave me another one. I now have both posters on my wall. They're neat.)
  
• Driving: Mine's Not A High Horse - The Shins (I like driving to The Shins. Don't know what else to put here.)
  
• Flashback: Fame - David Bowie (I have funky guitar bowchikka-wows in my Flashback. lol, nice.)
  
• Getting back together: Equally Damaged - Blonde Redhead (40 second track that begins with sad woodwind instrumentals... and ends with a spasm of high pitched noises... Getting back together is always a little awkward I suppose)
  
• Wedding: Royally Fucked - Mindless Self Indulgence ("one, two, one, two, Fall on my knees! I will never be young! I will never be loved... so I am royally fucked!" lol, maybe I marry that French woman Jacqueline, Kellie.
  
• Birth of Child: Take It Off (Dim The Lights) - Pharrell Williams (The birth of my child... sounds disturbingly sexy. Omg... if you can find this song on youtube or something... during a pregnancy, this song would be SO inappropriate.)
  
• Final Battle: Hello Goodbye - The Beatles (The Beatles again, with a very upbeat final battle song. I hope the next one isn't upbeat... )
  
• Death Scene: Stash - Phish (My favorite song by Phish... *shrugs* I'd be cool with dying to this)
  
• Funeral Song: I Invented The Night - Electric Six (lol, my Funeral song is gonna be groovy.)
  
• End Credits: Kenny's Dead - Master P (A song from the 'Chef Aid' South Park soundtrack... Is this my movie soundtrack or Kenny's? iTunes shuffle... you're fired from my movie)

=] So that was fun.

I gotta go now, but I'll be back soon! Good Bye For Now Blogspot!

Postscript: I just finished watching The Iron Giant... and shame on me for not watching it until now. That movie was amazing! Vin Diesel's best movie for sure. I don't feel like drawing anything right now (normally I would...), but I'll steal something off of deviantart...
