Internet Crap

You may find some of this funny.  I certainly did.

Let us begin with something I believe we all enjoyed:
If Pokemon were real, they'd look like...
Charmander

Venusaur

Blastoise
A random assortment

And everyone's favorite:
 Pikachu!!


Switching references now....

I need directions from my house in The Shire to Mordor.  Thank god, Google has some advice.

Definitely.

What everyone should watch after they see the movie 2012: this video.


And to round off all of this internet crap: here's some unadulterated cuteness.

The Zombie Apocalypse Plan: Accumulation

(Check out the previous post before reading this one!)

The Zombie Apocalypse Plan: Revised

I didn't realize the first time I posted this was so long ago!  It was August!  I've revised and added to this story, so here's the first part.  This is mostly what I posted the first time around, but it's revised a bit so you may want to look over it again.  Enjoy!

(and for your viewing pleasure, a handy zombie chart.)


Bio

I was so bored the other day that when I had to send in a bio to a conference I am attending, I sent in this instead:

"Unlike other children raised by wolves, Cylon was not only able to learn how to speak, but also how to critically dissect yet dilute anybody's opinion. She graduated from the University of Iowa with a BA in cinema and art with a painting concentration during the Depression but keeps strong by watching countless hours of Real Housewives of whatever. Her interests lie in Africana studies, sexuality studies, media, cinema, pumped up gorilla juicehead shore rats, popular culture and oil painting. Currently she lives in North Carolina, which is a state famous for killing millions of people with its gross domestic product."

(I DID NOT send this one, but a more refined in it's stead)

Because we can't help ourselves.

With the release of Beauty and the Beast in 3D* in theaters, here's some facts about the movie you may not know.  (And some you do, thanks to Waking Sleeping Beauty...)

* I'm sorry, but really Disney?  3D?  Must we?  I'll go see it in non-3D, can't we do that instead?

Cerasi and Ada, I know you will appreciate one in particular.. because that one kind of made me click the link  :)  (hint: the one with three beloved characters...)

January: Theme of the Month

Hello Lovelies,

It's a new month and a new year!  And that means we need a new theme.  I came up with one, so unless you have any other suggestions why don't we do:

Person, Place or Thing
Pick a noun.  It can be as common or as unfamiliar as you wish.  Then write 10-20-ish sentences/ lines about it.  But only post those descriptive lines, not the person, place or thing.  Then of course we guess what it is.

I'm thinking to make this a challenge we could try to make the familiar strange /or the strange familiar...  like take an emotion and personify it.  Or take an object (like a rock or lamp) and make it seem like something unrecognizable from outer space.

What do you think?

Also, for February's theme, the month being what it is... I talked with Ada, and we could do "NOT love".  Like fights, breakups, estrangement... you know.  Because that's what brings warmth to my heart around mid-February.  But let us know if you have any other suggestions.
