Calling… Nemrac

June 30th, 2009 No comments

Apparently we love our own cell phones but we hate everyone else’s.
- Joe Bob Briggs

cellphoneMy cellphone tells me who I’m calling or who’s calling me. But most of my friends have average names (but they certainly are not average people!), so I thought while hearing.. “Calling… Nichole..” wouldn’t it be neat to stump the cellphone? So I changed everyone’s names by putting them in backwards. That way I still know who they are and I get a chuckle each time.

“Call from… Elocin” “Message from… Sirhc” “Calling…. Nitram”

Best Time To Watch TV

June 29th, 2009 No comments

Living in New York is like being at some terrible late-night party. You’re tired, you’ve had a headache since you arrived, but you can’t leave because then you’d miss the party.
- Simon Hoggart

cleopatra2525You’d think the best time to watch TV would be during Primetime, right? I have something different to offer you.

The best time is on Sunday anytime after midnight. I don’t know what it is about programming during that time, but it is cheesetastic. I used to work late shift in tech support and would come home on Sunday night/morning and watch Cleopatra 2525, Mysterious Ways, and another one which I forgot the name of (bummer).

Currently on our late late night TV there’s Legend of the Seeker and DaVinci’s Inquest (which can get frustrating at times). During the day these shows are just of no use to me. At night when I can’t sleep… they’re pure gold.

A Destination… A Goal… A Dream…

June 28th, 2009 No comments

You know what, rip me off once, shame on me. But twice? I’m coming after you and taking back what’s mine.
- Billy Mays

paintedcakeI’m sure you have goals, right? We all have some sort of goal or dream. What are you doing to reach it? Do you work on it everyday?

My list of goals keep getting longer and longer, but I realize that my goals and my dreams are just a destination. Kind of like “Yes Man”, that Jim Carrey movie? You’ve got to see it. For Zooey Deschanel alone, she’s totally worth it. But the movie shows what can happen if you open yourself to possibilities and opportunities. It’s like the universe just tilts its way to you… it’s hard to explain. But put it this way. You want to make a cake? You think you have all the ingredients for that recipe, but you don’t, You’re missing something. Suddenly you remember another cake recipe that doesn’t need the ingredient, and that ingredient you do have. Your cake turns out better than the other might have because a little ingenuity came with it.

Ingenue is a cool word.

Saturday Morning Cereal Box

June 27th, 2009 No comments

I’m shy. I can go on a trip for days and not go because I won’t sit on a toilet seat on a plane. I’m certainly not going to go on somebody’s lawn. Could you imagine, in a cocktail dress?
- Farrah Fawcett

cerealboxbackWell I don’t have cereal to offer you, I do have the back of one. Ever sat down at the table (as a kid, as an adult, whichever) and read the back of a kid’s cereal? There’s activities, puzzles, cartoony type things, but always something that’s short and captures your attention. So here you go… if a cereal box was interactive, they’d post these links.

2 people started drawing 2 Bill Cosbies, and the Great Cosby Experiment of 09 began.

Hacked Roadsigns – You know those DOT signs on the side of the road?

Asian Poses – Those Asian girls really know how to pose… and thankfully this blog is here to compile it all.

Orange Zubbles

If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with.
- Michael Jackson

Colored bubbles? YEA! Zubbles is finally in pre-order status! You can read about the 11-year struggle of it’s creator Tim Kehoe for the perfect colored bubble that doesn’t stain.

Your New Weird Word

June 25th, 2009 No comments

Foosh

There is something really mysterious about lions. They could rip you apart if they wanted to, but at the same time they look so cuddly. Can you imagine what humans look like to animals? They must think we’re so weird.
- Lee Ryan

Here’s a new weird word for you: FOOSH
foosh (füsh) n. To take off one’s shoe and fill it with dirt

Nothing Really Beats Kids in the Hall and Sausages

June 24th, 2009 No comments

I refuse to go into a fast-food outlet – to use the toilet even – in case anyone got the wrong idea and thought I was sneaking in a quick burger
- Jonny Wilkinson

Kids in the Hall need no introduction. If you don’t know who they are, you should. If you know who they are, then you’ll remember this clip. It’s entitled “Sausages”

Star Wars Figures and Chipmunks

June 23rd, 2009 No comments

The only animals I’m not comfortable with are parrots, but I’m learning as I go. I’m getting better and better at ‘em. I really am.
– Steve Irwin

Sounds too good to be true? Star Wars figures AND Chipmunks? You have Chris McVeigh to thank. “Because of the internet I started to feel like people had seen everything and I wanted something original that caught people’s attention”

Weird Father’s Day

June 22nd, 2009 No comments

If you throw money out of the window, throw it with joy. Don’t say: “One shouldn’t do that” – that is bourgeois
- Karl Lagerfield

Not sure what happened, but yesterday the site was down basically all day. I didn’t have a chance to do my Father’s Day post. So now I have to do it today. Pretend it’s yesterday, you can do that for me, right?
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY – My own father passed away 2000, so this video is a little bittersweet but I do appreciate it. My dad would’ve made an awesome Jerry Lewis, except he never cussed quite as much or carried a gun (my dad, not Lewis)

Here are some dads reenacting famous movie scenes:
