I baked some chocolate cupcakes tonight, and made some cream cheese frosting! I'm kind of proud, because it was my first time making the frosting by myself. It came out sooooo yummy. I know because I had a cupcake for quality control purposes. :3 They're for a potluck at work tomorrow.

I'm also going to (dun dun DUN) start a diet tomorrow. I really need to lose some weight, and just eat healthier in general. I eat a TON of junk food and fast food, and always eat late, and don't exercise much, etc. I think I can do it and keep it off this time. Here's hoping~

a great big wtf

alfie aliens!
Guys. Guys. What is this thing?

strange creature found in Panama

Hairless, albino sloth?! An alien with the grooviest body shape ever?! Or just a hoax? The story sounds fishy, but the pictures freak me out a little. And I feel sorry for it, whatever it is.

By the way, choosing between omg!Toki icon or aliens!Alfred icon for this post was a huge struggle for me.

I'm really sleepy, but I just can't fall asleep. It's probably the fact that I have another long day ahead of me tomorrow. And after that a long week. Urgh.

So, I'll post some funny thoughts that have been making their way around. They're like...little kernels of truth wrapped in a candy coating of hilarity!

And just for fun, I bolded the ones I can TOTALLY relate to or just thought were especially hilarious.

What would happen if you ran over a ninja? )

Wow, haven't updated since, oh, FOREVER.

Well last month I went on vacation to Anaheim! I had a great time. Went shopping at The Block at Orange, and then I went on a thrift store hunt. Didn't find anything good, sadly. Then I took a bus to LA where I met up with [info]dotiscute in Little Tokyo! We hit up the Kinokuniya bookstore (aka *~ANIMU PARADAISU~*) where I promptly bought whatever Hetalia merch happened to be in my sight. I also got to finally meet [info]kuroisaiyajin in person! We hung out at a Blizzcon after party and had fun times at Denny's. I really wish we could have spent more time with both of them, they were the highlight of the trip for me. Finally, we went to Huntington Beach and just enjoyed the ocean. THE OCEAN. I'd never been to the beach before, and I was awestruck. I would love to go back and just spend all day there. I'm so jealous of you coastal people.

I will hopefully post some pictures of our little California adventure later, once I get them off my phone and the camera. ♥

I've also gotten into Detroit Metal City and am loving The Beatles Rock Band. The Beatles are one of my favorite bands ever, and I'm so happy to see this game doing them justice. The opening totally blew me away, it's amazing!

Now I have to finish watching Detroit Metal City so I'll be ready to watch the live-action movie tomorrow! :D

always wanted to know

So some friends and I went to SWACE (Southwest Animation Conference & Expo) a few weeks ago and had an awesome time. It was my first time at an actual anime convention. We walked around a lot, took some pictures of cosplayers, bought some stuff, played videogames, went to some panels, met up with a friend of [info]dotiscute and watched some Ralph Bakshi movies, went to the costume contest, karaoke, etc. It was such a fun day!

I didn't buy much, only a Play Arts Kingdom Hearts Cloud figure and a black Yoshi plushie. BUT I was reaaaaaaally tempted by an artist named Andy Kuhn, who was charging $25 to draw any superhero on a paper bag...THROWING UP. I asked if he could do Deadpool, but then I said, "Wait...that wouldn't work because of his mask." And he told me that someone had requested that at Comic Con, so he drew Deadpool barfing WITH HIS MASK ON. The puke was seeping out and making his mask bulge. GROSS. DX


Mike Sinterniklaas held my hand!!!

Anyway so here are more pictures! )

I got to meet Ralph Bakshi (RALPH freakin' BAKSHI!) and Mike Sinterniklaas (voice of Leonardo, and Dean Venture, and Kappa Mikey, and director of the Berserk dub, among other awesome things)!!! I'm gonna post pictures tomorrow hopefully! I'm going through them now.

I really need to write more, so I'd like to update this journal more often.

Please stick with me here, I feel like rambling off a recap.

[info]lord_whimsy on my friends list made a post asking for help on behalf of a girl he knows. She and her family have found themselves in a tragic situation: just a day after her autistic brother passed away, her family was served with a foreclosure notice. Well...you can read more about what happened at his post or her post or at the article in her local paper.

So, so sad.

Aside from seeing her around the egl community, I don't know this girl. I just thought, "the more people who read about this, the more that can maybe help."

jawsome!

This hilarious link, The 5 Most Bizarre Ninja Turtle Rip-offs of the '90s, comes with embedded videos so you can reminisce (or just enjoy).

I loved this guy's commentary, so here are some snippets!

Street Sharks
"...please note the liberal use of the “exploding through walls” shot. Apparently contractors in the ‘90s were so extraordinarily shitty that drywall exploded like an old pinto everytime you bumped into a wall."

Cowboys of Moo Mesa
"But hey, if you learn anything from Cowboys of Moo Mesa, let it be this: The bad guy was a cow too. That means that some cows are sons of bitches, and it’s okay to eat them no matter what hippies say."

Mighty Ducks
"This is what happens when you hand over script development to an insane foreigner whose only English words are “ducks” and “hockey,” then retranslate it back into English, and then shoehorn some aliens into there too for no particular reason."

Samurai Pizza Cats
"However, unlike the Power Rangers, there is something very, very wrong with you if you find yourself wanting to fuck the pink one."

Extreme Dinosaurs
"The Extreme Dinosaurs were both extreme and dinosaurs. There. You are now filled in on their epic backstory."

I'm kind of surprised that the Biker Mice From Mars aren't on the list. Don't get me wrong, I still totally love that show! But the premise was definitely something only the 90s could pull off.

Thank you for the link, [info]subaru_dusk! ♥

In other news, I forced myself to give up advance tickets to see The Hangover tonight, because I had to read a boatload of text for school. My horoscope even said, "But if you stop to think before you run off in search of pleasure, you might just realize that you'll enjoy yourself even more if you finish your work first." Uh...no, I'm pretty sure I'd enjoy myself more watching a movie for free than paying for it. Oh well. I felt pretty studious, anyway.

Your result for The Social Persona Test (What kind of man/woman are you?)...

The Rarity (QTAF)

Quirky Traditional Alpha Female


You have an unusual and unbelievably precious combination of traits, especially in a woman. Not only are alpha females extremely rare, but traditional ones with nerdy/geeky interests are even more scarce. Unlike the other types, I can't give you a description because I'm not sure if you actually exists. I know this is not a compatibility test, but you are the girl of my dreams. (Assuming, that is, that you are also in your twenties and live in New England). Please, oh please message me!



--Bookwyrm85



You are more QUIRKY than NORMAL.



You are more TRADITIONAL than LIBERAL.



You are more DOMINANT than PASSIVE.


When picking a date, consider: Lord of the Misfits (QLAM), The Late Bloomer (QTAM), The Snowball's Chance in Hell (QTBM), or The Manga Geek (QLBM).

Ordering Domino's pizza online is SO COOL. You can see what your pizza is doing every single step of the way! The name of the person making it, when it's being boxed, everything. It's awesome.

Also, if you ever get woken up by a telemarketer, and they seem SUPER nice, and you're too groggy to really consider the details of what they're offering and you think, "hey it won't hurt this one time and I can cancel anytime I want," JUST SAY NO BECAUSE YOU ARE VERY WRONG. IT WILL ACTUALLY HURT YOU AND YOU CAN'T CANCEL ANYTIME YOU WANT. AND DON'T FEEL SORRY FOR THEM STRUGGLING IN A BAD ECONOMY AND DON'T AGREE TO ANYTHING. EVER. JUST HANG UP.

DAMN YOU LOST

One evening many moons ago, an old Cherokee man told his grandson about an ancient battle that lives inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."

The grandson thought about those words for a minute and then asked, "Which wolf wins, Grandfather?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
