Time To Go WABAC

I awoke in agony with nothing to look forward to other than continuing the wailing, life-draining abomination that is my Animation final. Have I mentioned how much I hate animation? Anyhow, I was greeted with an uplifting bit of news that helped make my day a lot shinier thanks to Myshe.

There was hardly a morning I didn't watch The Rocky & Bullwinkle show while getting ready for school. Personally I abhored Rocky and Bullwinkle, but I lived for Aesop and Son, Fractured Fairytales and my favorite: Peabody's Improbably History.

Dreamworks has a chance to treat a childhood favorite of mine with respect now. I PRAY it doesn't go the way of Dudley Do-Right or The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle.

Peabody's Improbably History

From Morning Chai to Mourning Chai

Music at the Moment: The Raconteurs - Steady As She Goes

So, I've come to the tear-filled and sorrow-laden conclusion that my chai latte addiction is not conducive to weight loss. So, after much deliberation and soul-searching I've come to the decision to bid farewell to chai until I am to my ideal weight. I shall simply have to find a suitable substitute in the meantime. Perhaps I'll fill the chai void with crack, smoking, cutting and random piercings, but it just won't be the same. Damn thee Sarah and Jane. I am a slave to the chai.

Remembering 911

Music at the Moment: Psapp - Hi

I remember 911 is that emergency number you have to call if your roomie lops off an arm or if there are 6 masked men with guns standing in your foyer looking at you as you turn on the light in search of a midnight drink of water.

Also, 911 is eerily mystical in nature. 9+1+1=11! And then if you add 1 and 1 you get 2 which added to 9 is 11!!! Consider also that if you add 911 to itself you get 1822. In November 1822, Luis Arguello became the first governor of California under Mexican rule! Luis! Louis! Louis Cypher! Lucifer! Even more uncanny is that the same trick with Lucifer's name was used in the 1987 movie Angel Heart which I must have seen 911 times!!

Further, 9 sounds like Nein which is German for No. 1 is also one that can represent a person. 1 is also won which is the past tense for being victorious or succeeding in a competition. Do you realize that this, loosely translated, means "No one won!?"

I'm fairly certain Kitty weighs 911 pounds.

When I was 9 I had a crush on an 11 year old. Together, he and I witnessed two 1-year-olds beat up a 9 year old. We tried to stop them by hurling the bricks we were playing with at them. I must have thrown 9 of those things, but my friend only threw 2 and hit each one of them squarely on the head. One of them had to have 526 stitches while the other had 385. That adds up to 911 stitches!

I had a breakfast bar this morning that was 90 calories. I remember having thought to myself, wow I could eat 11 of these. Gasp! Coincidence?

So, remember that the numbers 911 are very mysterious and you should always remember to never forget that it's good to always remember not forgetting to not forget what you should always remember to always never forget.

As I head out to my car adorned with it's 1,456 different "I support" ribbons, my Choose Life tag and my 50 or so ingeniously witty flag stickers, I shall get in and head proudly to Starbucks to order my Chai Latte which most likely has 911 calories per venti all while cursing liberals and talking on my cell phone.

Weight Plateau Destruction: "Fatality!"

Music at the Moment: Goldfrapp - Strict Machine

Welcome to 200! Finally I broke through that damn 206ish barrier that would not let me pass. Come Christmas and the great initial meeting of the mother-in-law entity I shall be Gorgeulicioufabulantastic!

Maybe my TRIMminent thin godliness is already visible? The really cute, short, blond contractor that was here for our replumb said I was a liar when i told him I was 36. He said I was no older than 25-26 tops. He's now tied up in the room and I'll be marrying him next week.

Heroes Are Hard Work

So was anyone surprised that Feedback won Who Wants To Be Stan Lee's Next Tool? We sort of all knew it from day one. He deserved it, but I missed Major Victory. Stan Lee is a total dimwit. Some of those "challenges" were rridiculous and let's not even go into the constant contradiction of criteria to win challenges Stan would vomit forth with each episode. Le sigh.

School has been a pain in the ais this week and I just finished my first and most involved assignment this week. This one was for Digital Illustration. We had to take a photo of a relative, a friend or ourselves and make a superhero comic cover from it. Yay you say? I did too, until I slaved over it. What a headache. At least it's done. I used the only real hero in my life as my subject...my hubby. I love you John!

When an enthusiastic field reporter and avid storm chaser happens onto the site of a secret weather controlling experiment gone awry, little does he know that he is about to become his next big story...

S'update

Music at the moment: Muse - Supermassive Black Hole

John's father passed on August 12th :(

We made it into the polybutylene class action suit and are having our house completely replumbed from top to bottom at no cost to us. :D

School is kicking my ass this term, but I'm hanging onto that 4.0 for dear life. :

I never want to be an animator. >:(

I've lost about 10 pounds on nutrisystem. :)

My neck seems to be getting better. :)

This season of Project Runway is rather lackluster. :

Josh is coming this weekend for his B-day. :)

My CoH toon finally made it to 50 and I'm fiddling around with my Kheldians. :)

I had to do a self portrait again. This time it was in Art History of all things. What's more is she wanted it done on the computer...freehand. So I got to use Illustrator and the pencil tool to try and draw my picture with the mouse. Yech. I need a graphics tablet.

End of Term 2

And again I find myself at the end of another term of school. What is your GPA this term Phred, you ask?












That's right. With a 100 in English to boot.
Eat it Mrs. McDonald and Mrs. Webb.

< On Psycon we have a saying Phred: "Dorcons suck, but you freakin' rock"

Thanks Maya, you freakin' rock too!

Batman II: Jokeback Mountain?

I like him, but will he work?

Ledger to play Batman's Joker?

Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité

14 juillet - Fête Nationale









Pierre dit...




< Happy Bastille Day! Dreenk wine and eat cheese!





Phred dit...

Pauvre Zidane. Pourquoi?! Pourquoi?! Je suis triste.

French or Italian, Triste still means "sad".

That's right, I'm sad.. I'm bummed that France lost when they were so close to winning. I'm sad Zidane played such a great cup thast could have been an incredible swan song for such a sexy football player. Head-butting at the end of overtime is bad.

I was torn anyhow, but i really wanted France to win a little bit more than Italy.

Je suis triste.














****************************************

But at least it was a sexy team that won. John and I want a Gattuso Cannavaro sandwich.
