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).
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
