"The pimp and his poodle"

I helped my mom and Arielle's parents today at the "garbage" sale.

But I was on my period, so I wasn't much help...

I just HAVE to point out though that I think Gary with a poodle is hilarious. He just carried her around while paroling the sale. It was like he was the 'Lone Ranger' and Kekio (sp?) was his trusty steed. It brought me great joy... that and the $24 dollars I made.

BTW.

There was a book at that "garbage" sale that I'm sure I got for Arielle as a gag gift: it was 'SPOCK'S WORLD' a novel about Spock... and the world he lives in? I don't know, all I know is that I feel that I must buy it back and give it to her all over again because NOW we're actually obsessed with Spock and this book is freakin' funny looking. I wonder if she knows it was in the sale... or that she even had it...

Mini Rant: Guildshipping

So in an desperate attempt to entertain my brain I started reacquainting myself with some of my old oddball OTP.

One of these pairings stood out among the rest: "Guildshipping" (Wigglytuff x Chatot) for being beyond canon.

Now I'm not exactly clear if the terminology is correct on this one. I'm not really a hardcore pokemon fan so I'm unsure wither "shipping" is a term used solely for the pokemon fandom or not... What ever the case, I KNOW what 'Guildshipping' means!

Wigglytuff and Chatot are both (extremely gay) pokemon from the "Pokemon Mysterious Dungeon" titles. They stand out above the rest of the cast (as being extremely gay) for their in depth involvement in the plot. They're totally canon... and totally gay!

The game itself is odd is the sense that it has deep, deep subliminal messages that suicide is morally wrong. At least in my opinion it does, that game gets weird after you beat it and start the sub-plot... but let's not get into that.

BECAUSE WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE GAY!

That game is chalk full to the brim with gayness. Of course Chatot and Wigglytuff being the main, but depending on what characters (and genders) you choose for your character and the emo partner it gets to be a little much. Oh, and there's Gor... Grov... ugh, "the lizard guy" and the "fat... evil guy-like pillow thing" too.

Seriously? Who ever heard of a male wigglytuff? Well I know at least one... and guess what!? :D He's totally gay for apples!

Yup, I think if Wigglytuff had to choose between Chatot and an apple, he'd jump that apple.

Wigglytuff is the leader of the Guild. He's so super strong that he sleeps with his eyes open! (Him? A spazz? Nooo... but he does love apples.) He also may or may not have an alter ego for foreplay (A.K.A. The Grand Master of all Things Bad).

Chatot is his man slave. He does whatever he can to make the GuildMASTER comfortable and happy. He's also a money whore for the fact he takes 90% of the reward money you earn from each mission...

They run around and go on adventures together! While being cheesy and gay.

"They're gay alright. Gay... like a fox!"

Unseen, Unheard, Unorthodox

Recently I made the most AMAZING mix CD in the world! It has all my favorite songs on it arranged in the perfect order. Its better than heaven!

While I love my CD I'm a little unsure if I should keep it in my car.

You see, when you're in your car its like living in your own little world. You became completely oblivious to everything around you. Completely unaware that people ARE watching you head-bang your heart out... and can also unfortunately hear you in case you deiced to "sing" along with the greatness.

PEOPLE STARE AT ME SOOO MUCH NOW.

... and its all because of that CD.

Tweaking

Forget what I said about not cheating in pokemon, kids. This is fun. And also surprisingly difficult...

FYI, the "snakes" turned out more like worms. I'll take a picture when I finish screwing up the pokemon game.

While I was writing this post (which I guess was around 5:45) I got called into work (le gasp)... so now its 10:25!

"Guess what, Kim."

"WHAT!?"

"No one cares."

"... Aw, man."

Polymer

Yesterday before school I picked up some polymer clay from the clay store... I drive past that place EVERYDAY and had never gone in until yesterday!

So right now I'm attempting to make a sculptor, but being that I have no sculpting experience "points" (oh lord, too much pokemon) I really have no idea what I'm doing.

I made a snake... its in the oven right now but when its done I'll take a picture of it and post it! Be forewarned, it isn't going to be pretty.

Other then that, messed with my old pokemon game. Actually did a SUCCESSFUL tweak on the bike but then the game file glitched up, but now that I know its possible it just makes me want to try it more. I'm pretty sure I corrupted my game trying though, lol.

Kids, this is why you shouldn't cheat!

Poop.

I'm attempting a new 'Random Rant' with an actual 12 sec video clip!

But like most technology my computer is NOT happy about the upload... its being a poop.

DS-eye

WOW. Two posts in one day? Who would have thunk it, eh?

Ahem.

BEHOLD- SOME DSi PICTURES!






Yes, I do seem rather uninteresting in these pictures... I don't recall when I took them but I was probably 'bored out of my gourd' at the time.

BTW.

:D I changed my template today too... ya know, in case ya DIDN'T notice.

"Gotta catch 'em all"

Since today was an awesome day (sunny & 77 degrees) I decided to spend it lounging in the grass with my DS Lite. Did some major catching up on my Pokemon game!

Right now I have 6 gym badges and I've only caught like a total of 12 pokemon... I don't see the point of catching ones that you know you'll NEVER use, its like abuse to the poor things. Not to mention that pokeballs cost a freakin' ton of money!

I suppose I sorta cheated with my party though. I bread my best pokemon from my other game and just traded the eggs into my new game. Yup, they had awesome kids.

First off we have:

Arcanine: "Big Boss",Gender: Male, Nature: Jolly, Designation: Team Leader.


Second:

Lucario: "Wolf", Gender: Female, Nature: Serious, Designation: Co-Leader.


Third:

Xatu: "Eva", Gender: Female, Nature: Relaxed, Designation: Secondary Support.


Fourth:

Gengar: "Kaa", Gender: Male, Nature: Naive, Designation: Attack Force.


Fifth:

Luxray: "Gin", Gender: Male, Nature: Hasty, Designation: Attack Force.


Sixth:

Leafeon: "Ianto", Gender: Male, Nature: Impish, Designation: CLASSIFIED.

Oh yeah, with these babies I can take on any who dares to challenge me... er, hopefully.

The Bumbling Bumble Bee

... I'm not gonna lie... I'm not very good at my new job yet.

I've been reassured multiple times that my coworkers went through the same thing when they were new, but its still frustrating.

Luckily, I've had very nice costumers so far... and today I practically forced Metal Gear Solid 2 (Sons of Liberty) onto an elderly gentleman who wanted a shooting game.

Even though it wasn't really what he wanted I was very adamant about it so he ended up getting it. lol, I hope he likes it... seriously, who doesn't like Snake?

I'm practically an outcast, being that I'm not 21 yet. I've had 4 different employee buddies ask me if I wanted to hit the bar after work but I'm all like "No0o0o0o0o" and then they get all sad faced on me.

D: MY DOG JUST PEE'D ON THE RUG!

Surprise!

I was surprised by a multitude of things yesterday, but the biggest one had to be 'TOY STORY 3'.

... I'll admit I'm more than a little wary of how that will turn out.

Another surprise was that TICKETS FOR THE SAN DIEGO COMIC CON ARE SOLD OUT. Good thing I already picked mine up last August.

Other then that, bought the 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' sing along. Its fun! I really want to attend this years midnight showing on Halloween.

And I got another necklace from Noadi today too. I think I'll ask Addie if she'll want to teach me how to sculpt with polymer clay 'cause it looks like fun!

i <3 squids.

Random Rant: STARSKY & HUTCH

(This clearly falls under my definition of what REAL men should look like... SEXY.)

Oh god, I don't even know where to begin on this one...

Even though I wasn't even an embryo in the 70's I still recognize greatness when I see it. And you don't get much greater than 'Starsky & Hutch' as far as I'm concerned. My only regret is not being able to witness them in their prime (and of course, the age difference because I'd be all over 'that' if I could).

I only really got into Starsky & Hutch after I saw the new movie that came out a few years ago. I'm glad I saw the movie before the series because I actually liked the movie but if you compare the two there is very little similarity between them. I'm sure if I had gotten attached to the series first the movie would have been a giant thorn in my side.


(Yup... if anything, the 70's gave us 'Short Shorts' which are lookin' mighty fine right about now.)

So in the far off land of buddie cop shows, Starsky & Hutch ran supreme. They're so popular in fact that they have their own Con (which happens to be in Maine) and (shudders) a multitude of fanzines (fan made magazines) and even a normal magazine that ran throughout the 70's.

Still, when you whisper their names middle aged women everywhere coo with delight (some juvenile adults included: being myself and a certain someone I know).


("I gotz ur shoe!")

Of course their drop dead sex appeal isn't the only thing that draws you into the show... but it is a big part of it. Back when they were filming the show Paul and David (Starsky and Hutch) got paid the 'minimum' in minimum wage. Which could be frustrating considering all the strenuous physical stuff they had to preform as 'cop's' and if you add in the fact that they were both amazing actors it makes it doubly frustrating to be paid so little.

They also originally just signed up for a TV movie but it was so gosh darn popular that the producers just had to make it into something bigger. If you think in terms of knowing that Paul hated the show and David just didn't really care for it, that makes their acting all the more impressive 'cause if they're that good when their half-assing it imagine how they'd be if they actually enjoyed it.

Paul now looks back on those years fondly, saying that he was just impatient when he was young and wanted something more, David said that Paul hypnotized him into doing his evil biddings so he can't be blamed. Ain't no denying that these boys got natural chemistry... and of course, sex appeal.

The show lasted for a solid three seasons... yes, I know it had four- but the fourth one doesn't count and you know why...


(AHH!)

I seriously don't know what happened. Its like when Hutch grew that mustache, the world started to turn in on itself. Hell, Starsky looks fine with a mustache but slap one on Hutch and it becomes instant babe repellent...


(Oh, who wouldn't be happy to be poked by Hutch?)

They made this show in the perfect decade too. 70's fashion, though usually quite ugly, is amazingly diverse and colorful. A key reoccurring theme are Hutch's pants. He wears the HOTTEST pants known to man and they are true to their decade: Colorful, tight, long, tight, slimming, tight, and usually bell-bottomed... and did I mention that they're tight? Poor fella' almost never sits down being that his pants go up to about mid-stomach and are so tight it looks like he's wearing a second skin. He more or less just squats.

I do think Hutch has better fashion sense then Starsky, whom always wears the same pair of blue tennis shoes throughout the WHOLE series.

The 70's was not kind to the ladies though, they all tended to dress as some sort of rare exotic bird. Usually the more bizarre they dressed the more likely they were to get killed for it. Kinda like the Star Trek red shirts if ya' know what I mean...


(Beer in one hand, spoon in the other... they're ready for anything!)

Personality wise Hutch tends to be an all around good guy, though very mischievous, messy, and a health fanatic. While Starsky is mellow, naive, sweet, and loves to be clean. They work together well but have their moments...

The biggest example of expression in their personalities has to be the cars. Starsky basically owns the mascot, being a gorgeous red Gran Torino. He cares for it a great deal, always making sure its clean and running smoothly. In the show it is implied that Hutch hate the car but in reality the actor who plays Starsky distastes it to the point of actually attempting to wreck it during chase scenes.

Hutch's car... is a mess. In addition to rolling down a cliff. He also store clothes, rocks, garbage, a full size wagon wheel, and also food for the winter (then promptly forgets about it until spring) in his car.

Now... here's a topic all fan girls enjoy.


(Slaaash!)

Like in all fandoms, fan girls have the imagination to make just about anything possible... ANYTHING. We well do whatever it takes if we think it'll get them together. After all, why do you think Starsky and Hutch were so popular among the female audience, hm?


(... it unnerves me sometimes when actors are aware of what we're thinking.)

They KNEW what we wanted to see, but sometimes actually seeing it isn't as sweet an the implied actions that leave room for the oblivious and those who just want to take the idea and run with it. Every time either one of them somehow manages to get a girlfriend she always either dies or leaves in the same episode! The only constant they have are each other... and the whole "Babe" thing doesn't help their case. Gay.

I tend to enjoy buddie slash more than the hardcore stuff though.
D'awww!


And as always:

(LOVE THY HUTCH - LOVE THY STARSK)

Cupcakes

The easter party I went to yesterday was really fun!

We held it at my sister's house as usual... I swear that house is the grand center of all holiday headquarters. My brother in-laws family was there too, but they're always there! Nick found out about my new job and kept following me, whispering "May 24th" into my subconscious brain... I think its his birthday, I'll be sure to pick him up a copy of 'My Little Pony' or something.

Both my grandparents were there and have you ever noticed how your parents' parents tend to via for their grandchild's attention? It was like WWIII between the 3 of them.

Saturday was also Jeremy's birthday so we held an easter/birthday party combo thing.

Apparently back in the day Jeremy's mother thought she was having a girl, so all they had was little girl clothes... and then HE was born! She showed us a picture of him coming home from the hospital- in a dress! Dear lord, I hope he NEVER reads this...

Also I was briefly lead to believe that I had super powers.

My grandma had made some of her world famous peanut butter cupcakes (which only happens on holidays so me and my sister stuff ourselves to the brim with them). Man, I hovered around those cupcakes like an angry wet cat, batting away anyone who dared get close. Soon the time for dessert had fallen upon us as I delicately held the first cupcake in my hands.

As I was about to take the first bite my mouth was greeted by a whoosh of air. Nick had STOLEN the damn cupcake right out of my hands! I was in shock... I couldn't believe that anyone in life could be so cruel. As I glared at him (willing instant death) he grinned at me and whispered "May 24th" before piggin' out on the poor little cupcake.

My blood boiled as I used ALL of my willpower to murder him with my gaze... and then he's face went blank, and his eyes started to water and his lips puckered up. Then he bolted outside, into the rain, doubled over and spat out the cupcake.

I was just standing there, thinking "Oh god, I killed him!" when my grandma walked up to me and said "Oh dear, I forgot to tell you kids that I accidentally grabbed the lemon cake mix instead of the yellow. I hope they turned out ok..." as we watched Nick rinse out his mouth with a hose making 'blah' noises.

So basically, Nick saved my life as I do not think that in any way lemon and peanut butter go together at all, he saved me from a very unpleasant experience.

Sigh, but I never got my holiday cupcake.

Egg.

Merry easter everybody!

Remember to turn that frown upside-down.

Oh... and f*** you, S'MUCKLES...
I think I'll just start making another mask tomara.



p.s.
LOVE THY HUTCH.

ARGH!

(...)

I'M HAVING AN EPISODE, OKAY!?

I've been looking at old photo albums of cosplay and there's just too many ideas swarming in my head at once!

ITS. DRIVING. ME. CRAZY.

Hell, I feel like Jim right now...


(By Mella68 on DA)

Quick, help me pick 3 characters from my list (which is arranged in most desirable to least).

1. Gin (One Piece)
2. S'MUCKLES... erm, "Samickle" (Okami)
3. Warsman (Kinnikuman)
4. Moses (Tales of Legendia)
5. Fujimoto (Ponyo)

Some of these costumes are almost done but can be improved if I take the time... I'm just so muddled because I can't do everything at once.

Argh! Need more hands.




And I f***in' hate S'MUCKLES mask...

Random Rant: Pleakley

(Its a bird. Its a plane. Its... GEISHA PLEAKLEY.)

Ok, so a few days ago I was watching the movie Lilo & Stitch with my niece and nephew. Its one of my favorite Disney movies but I don't think my nephew cared for it much (... kids today). Anyways one of the main reasons why I love it so much can be described with one word: Pleakley. He's quite possibly the greatest (and only) cross dressing cartoon alien the world has ever known.

I seem to have develop a mild fascination with him that has lead me to download the TV series and all 4 movies... I honestly had no idea that it even had 2 movies let alone 4, and I was only vaguely aware that it had a TV series (apparently it also has its own sub-anime series which is disgustingly cute and somewhat disturbing after the cute wears off). It just finished downloading today and I've been watching it nonstop... yes, it is silly and childish (which is why I love it).


(My my, such a..."pretty" lady)

Pleakley dresses as a earth female and poses as Jamba's "wife" for the whole series/movies. He sews his own clothes and basically never wears pants. He claims that his obsession with cross dressing is strictly part of his earth disguise as an "attractive earth female"... but the man owns a corset, he owns ladies underwear that nobody will ever see and he just so happens to claim that its part of his disguise.


(Weird disturbing anime ver.)

Jumba and Pleakley obviously have a thing for each other, after all they are "Auntie Pleakley" and "Uncle Jumba". They do go out disguised as a married couple and even share a room. I love watching them babysit Lilo and her always introducing them as her aunt and uncle. Surprisingly not as much fan fiction as I would have thought for such a canon pairing.

Also there's this one episode from the series that I found unexpectedly amazing! Its basically Pleakley's "Coming out of the closet" episode and its just crazy! Let me see if I can pull off an intense summary of what happened...

Ahem.

Pleakley's mother keeps calling him telling him that he needs to get married to a nice girl. He naturally doesn't want this and says that he's completely happy being single. Then his mother prearranges a marriage for him and all hell brakes lose. Lilo and Jumba tell him to lie saying that he's already engaged to someone else thus calling off the marriage. But then his mother and 2 siblings come to visit and meet his woman. He panics while Lilo lies saying that its her older sister whom Pleakley is marrying.


(Don't they look happy?)

Then after awhile Nani gets pissed off and leaves right before the wedding, leaving Lilo to find another bride for Pleakley ASAP!
Geeze, I wonder who she picked?


(JUMBA!!!)

Haw! Pleakley looks much more comfortable with Jumba then he did with Nani... so they basically get married only to be interrupted at the kiss by Nami's boyfriend whom is still under the impression that Jumba is Nami (seriously?) and that he can't let her leave him for Pleakley. Then Jumba gets all pissed yelling that he interrupted the climax of the wedding ceremony... then giant aliens attack...

Some where in this Pleakley's mother found out that it all was a lie and is sad that her little boy isn't married and thus, well never be happy. Pleakley says that he's happy just the way he is and doesn't want to get married. He family sorta excepted this and went home... but not before Pleakley's mother pleads with her son to try not to wear female clothes so much anymore... the end!

EPIC.

:/ There's also an episode where everyone on the island falls in love with Pleakley too.


(This is everybody... in love with Pleakley)

GAY ALIENS ROCK!!!

Feeling a bit narcissist, are we?

... Then the DSi is the perfect kink for you! Yes! With its lovely new built-in camera both inside and out now you'll never go without looking at yourself ever again. Want to stare at someone without the fear of being rude (cough) or caught? No problem! With the DSi now you can stare thru the outer camera at your freakish subject in privacy... just don't try to take a picture of them... even though your DSi may be on mute... the camera isn't (and boy is it loud). Want to download some tunes on to your DSi? Well, actually then you might have a problem being that it only uses some weird format no one has ever heard of before (but once you figure it out, its kinda fun).

All n' all the DSi is a narcissist's best friend...

FYI, S'MUCKLES' F***IN' MASK IS STILL WET.

... and I found porn in the parking lot today... it was just laying there two spaces away from my car... a DVD and some magazines, it was like Christmas! Sorta wished I'd picked it up...

DSi

I'm playing with the internet on my DSi... lol, its horrible!

Weekend.

I had a wonderful first day of work on Friday! It was a little awkward because I'm new but my coworkers are really nice... and if you feed them chocolate they'll be your # 1 fan for life.

I've learned that chocolate is a wonderful excuse for friendship.

I've also seem to have adopted an alternative name which was already written on my name tag, login sheet, and employee list.

"Hello, my name is BURLY"

...

...

...

Yeah, other then that it was great. Yesterday I also had MY FIRST HARMONICA class ever and let me tell you- I SUCK! No joke, I can kill cats with the shrill volume of my harmonica...

I gotz me a hair cut today and enjoyed the warm weather we've been having. Picked up a DSi today too, but haven't played with it yet.

I painted S'MUCKLES mask on Friday with oil based paint and its still drying 3 days later! I don't know what I did wrong...

My brain needs some sort of steady social stimulants to entertain me and now with my BFF gone I have no one to babble on about all the things I love: Star Trek, Kinnikuman, Batman, comics, THE SENTINEL, Starsky and Hutch, ect. They all fall on deaf ears and its driving me craaazy! Hopefully this insane withdrawal won't last too long (I've actually picked up monologuing).

ARGH! I keep touching S'MUCKLES mask expecting it to be dry, but is it? NO!

Paint... everywhere...

Happily Married

Man, I tell ya I gotta start laying off the Star Trek. I had the strangest dream where Arielle (my BFF) and McCoy got married. It was the weirdest wedding ever, her mom just kept yelling "HE'S TOO OLD FOR YOU- LOOK AT HIS TEETH!!!" personally I've never really noticed McCoy's teeth before but now I think my subconscious want me to check them out...

Another thing about it was that I was dating Checkmate (whom is from an anime called Kinnikuman) and we weren't even invited to this wedding! We actually had to kill somebody to steal their invitation. Long story short- it was an epic fail.

Hmm, other than that nothing much happened today. I bought some AMAZING earrings for Fujimoto and my S'MUCKLES mask is almost done! I can't wait to take some pictures of it but I need to paint it first. 

And I started another term of my awesome figure drawing class. My favorite middle-aged model was even hired again! I've only ever really drawn him in the nude twice, but today my teacher wanted to start the term off with a bang! So we drew him naked for about 45 minutes until the poor fella got chilled. But well we were drawing him I just couldn't keep the grin off my face because I had my MP3 player on random and it was playing a provocative Star Trek song in which Data is basically a whore... combining a naked man with provocative music is a bad mix when your on a caffeine high. I grinned and snorted so much that I'm sure the rest of the class views me as some immature perv... 

MY FIRST DAY OF WORK IS TOMARA!!!
