October 29th - Nov 3rd: Happy Side

This week I have not done my blog and I'm sorry for that, but as I get closer to the show opening it seems to be getting harder for me to write blogs.  This week has been an up and down kind of week that is for sure.  To properly explain the week I'll break it up into two blogs.  The happy side of the week will be in this one and you can find the sad side of the week here.

Happy Side

After struggling to figure out what was wrong with me last week I finally found an explanation   There is just a tightness in my jaw in the TMJ area and that can be fairly common.  I was going to go into the dentist to talk about it, but after looking into the issue the sites recommended you don't do anything drastic to your mouth and that with some TLC the pain can go away.  Now after avoiding hard crunchy foods and putting a hot pack on it for few days it has already improved. I've been eating normal foods and the pain is far less often, and not even close to as painful.  I just have to remember to massage it now and again and that seems to help.  I'm just happy I didn't waste money on that Dentist again.

This week was also the week of Halloween.  It didn't really feel like Halloween for me though because we were putting up Christmas stuff at work.  I never really feel in the mood for Holidays when they are actually happening anymore.  I think retail might be to blame.  I did wear a 'costume' that I guess complied with the all the rules with wearing one to work.  I was a Concordia Cobber, Concordia sweat pants and a fear the ear shirt. They had so many stupid rules that they should have just said we can't wear them, because no one really did anyway.  There is a bright side to this story though.  I bought Charli a Halloween costume the day after so it was 50% off.

She is an astronaut if you couldn't tell.  The size I got for her was a little large, but she can deal.  Well she can't really deal. The moment I put it on her she just froze in place and felt like she couldn't move, or when she would try to move she some how thought she could only move backwards.  I tried to get it on my camera but by the time I got it ready she stopped moving completely.  So you will just have to take my word for it.  She would also not look at me when I asked.  I think she was embarrassed.

Charli has had a pretty interesting week.  She also got a hair cut.  She tends to look more on the boyish side for a girl doggy but after this hair cut I think she looks extra boyish.

It's hard to tell in this picture but the way they rounded her ears she kind of looks like a Friar.  So her nickname this week has been Friar Tuck.

Lastly this week I took a video of us going for a walk and you can feel free to watch it, or not.  This video is the day before she gets a hair cut. So you can see how poofy she was.

October 29th - Nov 3rd: Sad Side

This week I have not done my blog and I'm sorry for that, but as I get closer to the show opening it seems to be getting harder for me to write blogs.  This week has been an up and down kind of week that is for sure.  To properly explain the week I'll break it up into two blogs.  The sad side of the week is in this blog and you can find the happy side here.

Sad Side

The part of my week that makes it sad is what I discovered Thursday before going to work.  My gerbil Falkor hadn't been coming out to see me when I come home and I thought that was a little suspicious. He will usually come out if I talk to him or open his cage door, but no such response.  I lifted his house slightly to see just his feet sprawled out beside him and immediately dropped it closed.

Falkor has passed away.  He is no longer gracing the world with his tube chewing antics or urge to dig to China through his bedding.  Despite the fact that he was a little over 3 years old and lived a long life I still think he would have lived longer under some different circumstances.

See here is the deal.  His old water bottle broke earlier this year and I had bought him a new one.  This new one was not high quality and I discovered this was the case when I would walk in the door and just the vibrations of the floor would cause water to come out of it.  When I inspected closer (after Falkor's passing) I saw the bedding was starting to mold because of the water that kept coming out.  I feel like Falkor was made sick by the water bottle not doing it's job properly.  Needless to say I threw out that water bottle and his cage because of the mold.

I'm still a bit sad and upset about loosing my luck gerbil, but he won't be forgotten.  Chad and I buried him in the back yard and put his wooden house over his grave as a marker.  That house was his and I wouldn't want any other gerbil using it.  I'm going to miss that little guy.

He kept me company when I was new and lonely in Minnesota.  He annoyed the crap out of me some nights with his chewing and digging that I had to keep him in the bathroom to block the sound.  He gave me endless hours of free entertainment and had some dastardly plans to escape and rule the world, I'm sure.  In the end I don't regret one minute of it and hope he likes his new home, in my heart.

October 26th-28th, 2012: Send it up!

I was just working on writing a blog about something I thought was clever, but then I started doing some research to help my point and I was hit in the face with a completely obvious element to prove myself wrong.  It was something that I should have thought of because I'm slightly obsessed with it.

That is why I erased that silly stuff and I am going to write something else...  If I can think of something else to write about.  Man.  I thought I was being so clever too.  How silly of me.  I might share if you ask, but you'll only know if you ask.

I'm fresh out of ideas of what to write about so I went to youtube to watch videos.  I found the video above which made my little fan girl heart squee a bit having three Doctor's at the same time talk about Doctor Who.

The video also made me look up the phrase "Send it up".  Apparently that means to mock someone in a humorous way.  I think I might make this a goal to use that in regular day to day use.  It's always fun to find new phrases to try to use.

Speaking of Doctor Who, I got to watch a bit more of the Second Doctor's stuff.  Watched The Mind Robber this weekend.  For some reason my memory at first thought it was Mind "Blogger" which would make for a completely different episode...or maybe not.  Considering how it is mainly about fiction writing.  It would just have to be slightly different because blogging doesn't tend to be fiction.  Usually, but it could be I suppose.

I've been thinking of writing some fiction.  Nothing fancy or anything, but I have some cute ideas for stories.  They probably won't be seen by anyone's eyes but me, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't write them, right?

However, the writing will have to wait until after I clean my house.  Three weeks just passes by too fast for my cleaning abilities.  I should probably be cleaning something instead of blogging. Alright, here I go. To clean something! (Or most likely to the post office to mail something I'd rather not mail.)

October 24th, 25th, 2012: Good Doctors?

All the feels I have are being converted into pain in my ears.  I have never had an earache this bad where it radiates throughout my face.  There might also be a chance that the pain in my face is sinus congestion from the evil allergies this year.  I've been trying a few different things this week but if Monday rolls around and I don't feel any type of improvement then I'll have to give in and go someplace to have them take a look at it.

Speaking of those types of places, does anyone have any experience going to a minute clinic at a CVS? This is where I'm considering going instead of paying a huge doctor visit bill at a hospital.  I've just never been to one of those before and don't even know if they'd be worth it either.

I'm slightly jaded when it comes to doctors.  It seems like every time I get the courage to go see one when something is wrong, they never find anything wrong or tell me anything useful. It's also hard since I moved here to Minnesota to find a primary Doctor I can trust and would like to continue to see.  The only positive experience I have had medically related was with the lady doctor at planned parenthood when I went in for my yearly check up.  She was super nice and I felt very comfortable around her.  She didn't make me feel like an idiot or say strange things about the size of my uterus like another lady doctor had said.

I don't know what it is about some doctors but I just feel like they are judging me.  Sure they are trying to figure out what ales me but do they have to make me feel like a terrible person for getting sick in the first place?  Maybe I'm just jaded from the doctor that literally made me feel like an idiot for not coming in sooner, and then he didn't even find anything wrong with me.  "Oh why didn't you come in sooner?" (Insert judging glare here) So you can decide that nothing is wrong with me? Gee thanks Mister.  That sounds like a great idea.  I should pay you lots of money for something that I'm pretty sure now was mental, or in a completely different organ than where they looked.

So what I ask, from those of you who might read this in the twin cities area, where are all the good doctors at and I don't mean the one with the blue box (although I'll take that too).

October 22nd, 23rd, 2012: I prefer Magic over Politics.

Watch this video.  The rapping isn't all that great but the ending is pretty funny. Plus It's about time I put something political in this blog right?



I'm pretty sure Abraham Lincoln wins this epic rap battle. Just saying.

I don't really like putting my political opinion out there because so many people get up in arms about things but I think Obama should be able to do four more years as president because there is so much to do as President that four years it is impossible to fix everything you want to fix.  That's why I personally dislike the limit on how long the President can serve.  We as people have a power to impeach and if we really didn't want someone ruling the country then I'm sure we could make them stop when it was time for them to move on.

And now for something completely different.


I think I actually remember seeing some of this on tv.  Either way this guy has some sweet magic skills. I think I'm going to go get lost in the rabbit hole of youtube and find more of these videos while I  fend off Charli and her random urge to lick me today.  Seriously she is a lick monster today.

October 20th, 21st, 2012: Time flies, and Time Lords

I intended to write this blog yesterday but I realized that I had to wake up an hour or so earlier than usual for a production meeting and that meant I wanted to get to sleep sooner.  That means I went to bed instead of staying up and typing my blog, but now I'm annoyed I'm behind on my blog again. Meh.

Since the show I'm working on is the reason for the delay in my posting a blog I will take this as an opportunity to update about how it is going.

There is something about time flying by so much faster for this show that I haven't really experienced before.  I think we are in a great place for where we are time wise but it just is hard to believe that we open the show in less than a month.  I'm looking forward finally seeing a full run through piece.  With any show in the theatre business it is always hard to get everyone together at first for rehearsals.

No matter what the show is or anything like that there will always be people missing for awhile.  I think I might be looking forward to when we will always have everyone more than anything.

Despite having rehearsals Saturday and Sunday I still manage to see some Doctor Who with Chad.  We have moved on to watching some episodes that include Susan; the Doctor's grand daughter, because she is going to be a guest at the convention we are going to in February.

Seeing Susan in The Daleks story I was less bothered than when I watched her in An Unearthly Child.  She was still overreacting and a bit of a dolt, but I wasn't left as displeased with her as the first time I saw her.  Maybe it is because the Doctor wasn't as 'mean' in this episode.  He did make some terrible choices for selfish reasons, but he is just a youngster for a Time Lord and has yet to age to what he is now.

The older regenerations of the Doctor have way more on their minds and hearts that they are more concerned with are around them.  I think as the Doctor ages he gets more and more attached and aware of his companions and starts to realize he doesn't like losing them.

Matt Smith's Doctor would most likely not endanger his companions by faking the ship is broken just to see some buildings. However, I wouldn't put it past his companions to be the one to want to go check them out.  That is another way the Doctor has changed.  He has went from seeking adventure and trouble, and having worrisome companions; to being worrisome and protective, and having adventurous trouble seeking companions.

The balance of those relationships is key to what makes Doctor Who so interesting.  If everyone was worried and didn't want to explore at all then nothing would happen, and if everyone was adventurous and haphazard more people wouldn't be around anymore.

Now, now.  I am not saying that the Doctor is not adventurous and doesn't seek out trouble sometimes, but it's rarely on purpose that he finds himself in these situations.  Let's just say that I agree with Amy and that the Doctor should never travel alone.  He needs someone there to balance out the other side.  The ying to his yang, or something like that.

My goal this week is to work on my dress for Gally and go to the Doctor (and I wish I meant the time lord kind).

October 18th, 19th, 2012: I believe in Pit Bulls

After watching a few episodes from The Twilight Zone with Chad I began to wonder why it took me so long to watch this show.  I have only seen one episode before and that was for a film class I took in college.  The main reason I don't think I have watched the show is for the simple fact I didn't really know what it was about.  I thought it was some kind of cheesy sci-fi show (don't get me wrong, I love cheesy sci-fi too).

Three episodes into it, there is much more to the show than I thought.  There are more physiological themes than I was expecting.  I actually have yet to see an episode that I would consider sci-fi.  Maybe the first episode is sort of sci-fi but barely.  I suppose for the late 50s it would be considered sci-fi.  I think it would be more along the lines of supernatural, maybe?

I've looked into the show a bit more on the internet and found that Ray Bradbury wrote for the show.  I'm looking forward to finding those episodes and seeing what they have in store.  Let me just say I plan on watching as many of the 138 episodes on Netflix as I possibly can and you should give the show a try too.

In completely unrelated news, there has been some recent flack in the news from some news lady, whose name I can't recall at the moment, about pit bulls.  She said something about them being vicious dogs, and basically feeding the terrible stereotype around the dog.

I'm a firm believer that the dog is never the one responsible for how it acts.  The owner is the one who trains and raises their dog, and teaches them what is right and wrong.  So to show how pit bulls are not mean vicious dogs I'm going to post videos of cute pit bulls for cute animal video Friday.

The video below the sound is just lots of buzzing for some reason, but it's still cute to watch.

This dog is so 'vicious' it can't even walk around a kitty.



Pitbulls also are so "mean" and "ruthless" they hate baths.

I don't really care for posting videos of babies and what not, but in order to show how "vicious" and "mean" pitbulls are I will show you this one video.  Dog has some serious patience but the owner is also being a good owner by making sure her baby doesn't hurt the dog either.  I don't know if you remember this from experiences with babies, but they have some sharp as hell nails.  Keeping the dog from getting hurt by the baby will allow the dog to care for the child and not build up any fear around getting hurt.



Lastly I will leave you with a video of Wil Wheaton's super "vicious" "evil-doing" lick monster, Marlowe.



She is a recent rescue stray pit bull puppy and I dare you to not find her adorable.

I hope these videos helped open a few peoples eyes to see how we need to stop feeding the stereotype for pit bulls and start making sure that people train and teach their dogs correctly.  There needs to be more stories about successful pit bulls and less of these stories about how a pit bull did something wrong (with no focus on how the owner was bad).

Every dog owner has the responsibility to adapt it to human interaction and bring them up right no matter what the breed is.  I wouldn't want my dog being mean or bad to people so I never let her be.  Luckily Charli is too sweet and dense to ever want to harm anyone.

So all I have to say is, be good to your pets and they will be good to everyone else.

October 16th, 17th, 2012: Why Do We Forget?

How is it we can find ourselves in a place that is very agreeable, and we don't have much to complain about.  There is food in our bellies and the people around us are also happy with how things are.  Then all of a sudden there is some sort of change in the cosmos and things start falling apart.  We go through it all the time but some how we forget these moments happen.

What I'm talking about for my particular situation is money.  Money always seems to be the main player in the game of happy.  There is that cliche saying that you can't buy happiness, but I don't think it hurts it.  I'm not big on buying happiness myself, but it's hard to live life if you haven't got any money.

Sure you are forced to live more frugal and with less fluff, but that isn't the issue.  The problem at hand is how it makes you feel.  The constant worry of making it by every day, every month, or year.  These are things that everyone on this planet thinks about.  Those who don't worry about having enough to get by probably are extremely rich and have no souls.  Well, they probably have souls but aren't really concerned about having enough money to pay for utilities, etc.

Money has just been on my mind as of late and that is my current feels for my Wednesday feels.  I'm super grateful for what I've got but I have to find something better.  I need to find my niche. Who is hiding my awesome job somewhere?

Now how do I tie in my pets for Tuesday blog time?  I can't afford to get my dog a hair cut right now and that ties into the money conversation. Look at that story telling abilities, eh? I'm like a professional or something.

So...yeah...she is looking pretty shaggy.  I would like her to have one more trim before winter so she can grow out her coat over the winter instead of just turning into a mop dog.  I'm actually not certain how much longer her hair would even grow.  All I know is she needs way more combing than I have time to do with my busy busy bee-ness.

 If my phone wasn't dead I would take a picture of how shaggy she has become but for know you'll have to use your imagination.  If it takes too long for her to get a hair cut I'll have to whip out the poopy butt scissors.  Yes they are used to trim her butt hairs, and no they don't have poop actually on them.  That is just what I call them.  Last time I trimmed her butt I sang her a weird song and I really wish I could remember it.  Those are the moments cameras should be filming my life so that I can share my weird-ness with others, but alas you must go without seeing these oh so special moments.

P.S. Family members who read this please do not fret.  I am doing fine, it's just the same worries everyone in this world has about money.  I'm just putting my worries in a blog.

October 14th, 15th, 2012: Making a blog

You know those kinds of days when you can be having a good day but then for like a few minutes you just feel like someone ran over a bus full of puppies with a bulldozer and you can't seem to shake it for rest of the day?  That is sort of what I felt on Sunday.

I was all caught up on my blog until I got to Sunday and for some reason once again I was thrown out of wack.  I'm not sure what causes this but it seems like every time Sunday rolls around my blogging just goes wooosh out of my brain.  Well, I might actually think about doing it but I don't really want to do it.  Maybe I should have put my free day on Sunday instead of Thursday.

Sunday seems to be my blah day of the week.  For most people it seems to be Mondays, or so they say.  My worst day of the week is Sunday.  Sometime about it I can't put my finger on.

Now I'll just play the catch up game again this week.  I will get the hang of this thing.  Some day.

Monday is supposed to be random video day.  Why do I have such an obsession with videos?  I'm not sure more than one day should be videos.  Maybe I need to seem more educated and make it an article or book I read...Oh pssh I don't hardly have time to read let alone write my blog! Ok, well I do, but I'm tired and lazy. *Whine*  

I'm really not that bothered by it, I have just felt the stress of life lately and that always gets you down.  However, just dwelling over those stresses isn't going to make them go away.  We shall will them away with the power of the internet!

There is this film that I have heard about on a podcast I listen to called The Nerdist podcast.  I enjoy listening to that podcast greatly. They had on a guest that was talking about their movie that was coming out.  From listening to them talk about it I became curious and finally decided to track down some information.  That information is coming at you in video form.

I don't know why it took me so long to find the trailer (having listened to the podcast last week sometime) but I think I'm still interested in seeing it.  I hope they find their way to Netflix, or DVD because the odds of it coming to the theaters here and me being able to go to it are pretty slim.

Now I have to go check to see if it is going to try to come to the twin cities area so I can sigh about not seeing it.

October 13th, 2012: I fixed it!

This "Who"turday was an amazing time for my progress for Doctor Who crafting.  I have finished the first half of the season 16/17 scarf and have measured it to be roughly 10 feet long, and that's only half(pictures will come sometime soon)!  I have begun to work on the second half now and I would say getting it done isn't going to be a problem, but I have a feeling that I will need more yarn.  That might throw a wrench in things for awhile because my funds are kind of in the drain currently.

Alas, this isn't moody Wednesday feelings blog time! This is "Who"turday!

What else could possibly go well with my Doctor Who crafts, you say?  Well! Just when I was thinking the worst thing could be happening with my sewing machine; that thing being me having to take it in and spending money to get it fixed, I managed to fix it!  I have no idea what I did and hope that it works again later in the week when I'll actually have time to sew something.  I might have to finesse the thread spacing a bit but I'm pretty excited it is working again.  Let's just hope this blog post won't jinx me.

In other "Who"turday news, Chad and I watched some more episodes of Tom Baker.  I am having the hardest time remembering what we watched.  He took the dvd with him because it was from Netflix so he could return it but I forgot to get the name of it before I left.  I sent Chad a text but he is probably sleeping so I won't get the answer until after I finish this blog.

For those who know Doctor Who I'll describe what happened a bit.  They landed on what they thought was Earth but you find out is far from it.  The Doctor figures out that they made a duplicate of Sarah Jane by offering her a taste of his ginger beer.  I don't know why I mention that part because it isn't like it is a pivotal moment or anything, but it was my favorite part.  I just liked the way he looked at her and was most likely thinking "Who are you and what have you done with Sarah."

It was a nice quirky Tom Baker story.  I do like Tom Baker, but I also look forward to seeing more of the other Doctors.  Speaking of the other Doctors.  Gally announced more guests and the person who plays the Doctor's granddaughter in first season of Doctor Who is going to be at the convention.  That means I have to watch more of Susan...even though the little I have seen has made me not like that character already, but I want to see her episodes whether it makes me want to scream or not.

October 11th, 12th, 2012: Panda-monium!

Thursday, Friday, Happy Days! I don't know if that's copy right infringement using that in a blog, but I did it. I dared to do it.

Thursday is free day so I'm gonna use that to cash in and move on to Friday because I wanted to get caught up on my blog. I didn't really do much Thursday anyway. (Except do my best to keep two rooms quiet at the same time.  Which didn't really work out... Hard to be in two places at once.)

So I don't know if you know this, but I'm pretty sure one of my favorite animals (if not my favorite) is the Panda.  They are adorable.  The are cute as babies and cute as adults.  You just can't go wrong with a Panda.

For this Friday's cute animal video I give you a rambunctious baby Panda who keeps trying to escape from his pin.  His determination is what makes it so amusing.



After watching this video I was led into a string of other adorable panda videos and saw that people can actually pay to hold Pandas.  I'm sure this only happens in China, but I was totally jealous.  If I had lots of the monies I would totally go to China and hug a friggin' Panda.

October 9th, 10th, 2012: The Beard doesn't lie.

So before I talk about Tuesday I want to talk about Wednesday. My theme for my Wednesdays is supposed to be along the lines of what I'm feeling.  I get to put all the feels I have gathered over the week in a blog.

This week has turned out to be a pretty big feely week for me.  However I choose to not do the huge rant blog I had planned on doing a few days ago when the feels where just freshly made.  I had a few days to think about it and stew, but I came to the decision that I don't want to waste anymore time or effort on that topic of discussion because it isn't worth it.

Please don't dig deeper or be worried about me.  I really am truly fine.  Just sometimes people in this world know how to stick a thorn in your paw after you got the last couple out they planted there. It's like they are carrying a thorny rose bush around with them to set beneath your feet.  Well no longer will I waste my time picking out those thorns, I'm going to pay attention to wear I'm walking.

I do realize those metaphors probably make no sense since you have no idea what I'm talking about, but alas that's what makes them amusing for me.  My amusement is what is at stake right now. Sort of. Not really.

Anyway. Back to Tuesday! Which means I'm going to talk about my pets.

Falkor, my gerbil who seems so sweet and innocent in his cage is probably plotting world domination.  Sadly he isn't a white mouse and has no sidekick so he probably won't get a TV show.

However, the reason I think this is because I think he is possibly training my dog to eat his food he doesn't like.  The only evidence I have of this is when his bowl gets down to the stuff he disapproves of there seems to be an increase in the sound of hard objects clinking on the floor of the kitchen.  I can only assume this is him throwing the food out onto the floor.

What does this have to do with him training my dog?  Of course she then will go out there and eat the pebbles he throws out to cover up his evidence.  The only way I know she is an accomplice is because when she is in the kitchen for a prolonged period of time she always returns to the living room with Falkor's bedding stuck to her beard.

The Beard doesn't lie.

So Falkor has trained her into scarfing down the evidence and who knows what else.  I am curious about what he will train my dog to do next...Wait a minute. Maybe Charli is Falkor's side kick?! Maybe we do have a TV show in the making!

October 7th, 8th, 2012: Twofer

My goal this week is pretty lame and uneventful, but then again maybe it is kind of eventful. I want to get caught up with my blog.  I'm only a few days behind and I don't like it.  It doesn't really sit well with me.  I feel like I'm failing at this whole blogging thing by not doing it on a day to day basis even though I'm the one who decides when I post.  There is just a fear that I'll fall off of the blog wagon again like I did awhile ago and I'll stop posting.  I don't want to stop doing it, or I would just stop.

This blog is actually good for me because it forces me to think and remember what I do on a day to day basis.  Then again, now that I have changed my days to themes I might not do as many updates on my life.  I think I can still do daily updates with my theme days if I feel like there is something important that happened that day.

I want to accomplish at least one more goal this week and it could be along the lines of cleaning out my fridge, doing the dishes, pulling up my garden, or getting my sewing machine looked at.  I'm not sure which one of these that I'll do.  Well, I'm sure I'll do the dishes but I never want to do them.

So yeah. In my attempts to catch up with my blogging I'm also going to add on Monday with this post. So a Sunday Monday twofer. I'm going to show you a little video I found on the youtube that I enjoyed.



I am really having a hard time believing this wasn't set up, but part of me really wants to believe it.  I'm a believer so I'm just going to have faith this guy is a freaking insane dodge ball player.

Lastly I'll leave you with a video on something I'm sure all of us needed to see.



And by needed to see, I meant it's completely silly and that's why it is amusing.

October 6th, 2012: Pyramids of Chests

“Who”turday! Or Saturday for those who don’t watch Doctor Who.  What did I watch this weekend since new Who is on its break until Christmas, you ask?  Pyramids of Mars.  I enjoy me some Tom Baker.  I always like watching him.  He is a hoot. Then again I like the other Doctors too. I’m not biased.  I do tend to feel like working on my the season 16/17 scarf when I’m watching him, but I also get the strangest urge to work on it when I caught up on season 2 of Sherlock as well. Strange.

Speaking of that scarf, I’m almost half way done. I've got to more colors to knit before I finish one half of it. Then I have to start on the next chunk of the scarf.  After I have essentially two scarves I have to then knit them together to make this beastly scarf.  I’m just hoping I get it done for Gally in February.  If not I might just pack it along and be knitting at the convention!

I don’t have high hopes for my K-9 cosplay because I screwed up my sewing machine. I’m having troubles with the thread bunching up and I haven’t been able to sew any pieces together yet.  I have to find some time free during my weeks to take it into someone because I can’t seem to figure the darn thing out.

I digress, lets get back to what I watched.  Watched Pyramids of Mars.  I like it but I think the robots chests are bigger than mine. Well, bigger than most people’s chests and perkier too.

This was my favorite part of the whole thing. The robots using there massive chests to squeeze this guy to death.  I don't actually remember if he died because I was so busy laughing at it.

I would recommend this episode.  It had it's regular cheesy special effects you can expect from Classic Doctor Who, and what I love about it too.  I enjoyed it.  You might too.  There were some Ribbon ideas for Gally during it that Chad liked, and I hope I finally figure out what I want to do for a Ribbon too.

October 5th, 2012: I like cats too.

So I know I have seen this video a billion times and I'm sure everyone else on the internet has too, but I still think it is cute.  There might be a few people who have not seen it and maybe they will see it finally.




Maru is an adorable kitty who loves boxes.  This cat has made me want a Scottish Fold cat for years.  I'm pretty sure I'd be allergic to it, but I wouldn't care because they are super cute.  See if I can find things cute besides Boston Terriers. Haha!

Since this is supposed to be a cute animal friday post then I think my own 'cute' animal should get a little bit of a feature as well.  You might have seen this before but I still get a kick out of it.




Enjoy the cute animals. : )

October 3rd-4th, 2012: Sluggish Quick Days

Why is it some days you feel like time flies by without a care in the world but other days it's like it is trudging through the mud.  Sometimes it even feels like it passes without taking you with it and you can't remember what day you are supposed to be on.

It really messes with your head when your days alternate with these different feels.  I don't think I would prefer one over the other, though.  This week has been one where I can't really tell if it is going by quickly or horrendously slowly.

I think in one day I felt like time was super sluggish and then the next moment it was hours later and I didn't get half of the things I wanted to get done in those few hours.  Time is a tricky trickster.

That's why a time machine would kind of come in handy.  Then when time isn't being cooperative you can just tell it what to do.  Well you wouldn't actually tell it what to do.  It would be more along the lines of doing what you want to do and time has to put up with it.  Just don't cause any paradoxes.  Those never turn out well.

In other news, it is getting colder out.  It's officially fall and not too long before it is going to be winter. I hope that it isn't too bitter cold this winter.  I just want it to snow a bit and make hot cocoa, and dream about wearing wool sweaters.  I won't actually wear the wool sweaters because every time I've put on a wool sweater it makes me itch like no other.

All this cool weather also makes me want to bake.  I want to bake everything. Muffins, crisp, pies. EVERYTHING.  I've been wanting to make muffins for weeks now.  I think I might have to make that a goal for next week.

October 2nd, 2012: Bed hogs

I'm fairly certain that all pets are bed hogs.  No matter how many times you tell them to share they will always plop down in the middle of the bed.  I've tried sitting or laying on her to get her to move but for some reason it doesn't get through her head that she should move.  I think she probably assumes I'm giving her cuddles.

She just stares at me with confusion when I push her over, but only after she has rubbed her face all over the place and blew air out of her noise like a spaz.  She assumes I'm wanting to play when I give her a shove. Then you can't really be mad at her for being a bed hog because she is killing you with cuteness.

However.  When she lets off a little silent but deadly fart, that's when you can get mad and kick her off the bed.  I think the worst is when she is across the room from you and you still smell it!

Oh the joys of having a pet.

October 1st, 2012: Monday?

This may seem super quick but I'm already changing my mind about what I want my theme days to be.  I've decided that Monday is just going to be videos in general.  I'm just going to search for a random video on youtube and see where I end up.  I think this will be more successful than music videos because I'm just terrible at remember bands and names of songs.  That wouldn't be helpful for looking to see if they have a video.

A change from music videos to all around videos is not that far of a leap and I'm cool with the change so you should be too! Although I really hope we don't end up in that weird place you find yourself on YouTube sometimes.  The place where people do dumb things, but mostly gross things.  Like pop things that shouldn't be popped. I'm just going to stop before I heave.

The video I came across for this Monday (yes I know I'm a few days behind still but I need to catch up!) is from a TV show that I forgot how much I liked when I had TV.  The show is called So You Think You Can Dance.  I am aware that it is a 'reality'ish TV competition show for dance, but I can't help it.  They just do such amazing dances and have great dancers that it is hard to not get sucked in.

Maybe I liked the show so much because it was something I can't do.  I'm just a big awkward ball of wiggle arms and clumsy feet.  In my mind I totally dance like they do.

Ok, I won't keep you from seeing the video any longer so you can enjoy it too.




This was the first dance I came across and watched, but I assure you I will be in stuck in the SYTYCD YouTube worm hole for awhile now.

Seriously, can't you appreciate how beautiful they dance?  The way they bend and move their legs and arms so freaking smoothly.  It's like butter but better.  I'm just going to go cry to some videos of beautiful dancing now because that's how I roll.

P.S. Welcome to October. Hope you enjoy Fall or Autumn. Whatever it is.  All I know it is pumpkin everything season.
