Never Thought I'd Say this...

But this picture of a mole is actually quite adorable. In real life, moles are very ugly little creatures, but this one makes them seem quite appealing.

"Joy--Enough to Go 'Round!"

Okay, so we all have that one favorite Christmas commercial. Be it for a soda, a food dish, even paper plates. Either way, Christmas commercials have that special creativity and spark that make them particularly easy to bear during the holiday season.

Well, for me (this year), it was the "Joy-Enough to Go Round" Coke/Walmart commercial. You know, with the kid singing about all the people he invited to his party, while smiling freakishly and handing out Cokes to anyone who smiled back? Well, yeah... so I looked it up on Google and it turns out that they have an entire SITE dedicated to the thing-- with an MP3 download, sheet music, and lyrics. Wow.

Anyway, here it is, if any of you care -- http://www.stockuponjoy.com/

The Hillywood Show!

Hey, everybody! I just wanted to say that I had a fantastic time being an extra on The Hillywood Show! Me and my friend drove up Saturday morning to Vegas (we watched Corpse Bride on the way up and Sleepy Hollow on the way home), and ended up getting a suite at the hotel for the price of a two-queen-bed room because they hadn't kept our reservation. On Sunday morning we got up and went to the shoot--It was so much fun--it made me realize how hard these girls really do work, and how seriously they take it. They are also such nice girls, and they made everything run so smoothly and so easily, and they're funny and easy-going, which made them really easy to work with.

I'm not really allowed to disclose any photos or plot information of the new Hillywood Twilight parody, but I'll post some "behind-the-scenes" pictures after the episode is released, which should be sometime in early February, and I'll just say that their work is superb, as always, so don't worry about being dissapointed!

Hillywood Show--Destiny!

In the last released episode of "The Hillywood Show", they put in a brief, three-second preview of their next episode (which was said to come out this month), which would be a parody of The Dark Knight. Well, now with their Twilight parody(not an episode, but PARODY) coming out NEXT month, they've moved their Dark Knight episode (which is the official episode 16) to March.

And GUESS WHAT THEY'VE GOT THE JOKER HOLDING?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?


Dude, it is SOO freaking destiny. You have no idea. In their preview (shown here), they have Hilly solving the cube as the Joker. I can't really identify it as MY method, because she has big gloves on, and it's kind of blurry and dark, but... I'm not sure. But I can do it faster than she can, so... I dunno. Whatever. I still love them!

Species-ist (Like Sexist, but with Animals)

(By the way, Ben, FYI... you need to COPY AND PASTE the link of the previous post to your browser in order to get to the video, stupid. I would have thought it was obvious!!!)

Anyway, so I've started reading Secret Window, Secret Garden, which is a book written by Stephen King. In 2004, a movie came out called Secret Window that was based on the book. Well, in the movie, one of the main parts is that the crazy-killer dude kills the main character's dog, which is like the start of his big killing rampage. But in the book, he doesn't HAVE a dog, he has a CAT.

Now, I know exactly why they did this. People tend to have more sympathy for a dead dog than for a dead cat. I'm sorry, but this makes me sad. First of all... just... NO. And second of all, cats are JUST as awesome as dogs, and Megan, don't EVEN get me started!!!!

Joker Spoof

Okay, Ben, here is the hysterical Joker spoof I was talking about.

Okay, this is why I love America. A 72-year-old woman named Bernice Gallego found an old baseball card in her basement in a box of old collectibles. She obviously didn't need it, so she put it on eBay up for auction with a starting bid of 10 dollars.

Oh yeah, and the card was made in 1869, with an estimated value of $100,000.

Once the bids started sky-rocketing, she figured she should stop the bidding and sell it to someone with BIG bucks.

Yes, We Used to Be Mexico

As most San Diegans know, we used to be part of Mexico... and we are about a 30 minute drive away from the lovely drug kingdom of Tiujana. However, I'd like to point out a few misconceptions about the names of roads, cities, etc., and provide some translations for you!

La Jolla Cove - This is really stupid. What they are trying to say is "The Jewel". Unfortunately, in Spanish, "jewel" is spelt "joya." And please, for those of you tourists, "Jolla" is not pronounced like the word "jolly." It is pronounced, "hoya."

Los Angeles - It's not too hard to figure this one out, but for those of you who are dull, this means "the angels." Kind of ironic, considering what a crap hole it is. I swear, if the Germans invaded, the wall of traffic alone would keep them out for at least a month.

Del Mar - Literally meaning, "of the sea." "Del" is a combo of the word "de", meaning "of", and "el" meaning "the". Mar, of course, means "ocean", or "Sea."

Las Vegas - Meaning "the fertile plain." Pff, no kidding... anyone ever been to the Monte Carlo?

Escondio - I assume this is a combo of the phrase "Es condido", which means "It's hidden."

Chula Vista - Looked it up... it means "Rascal View". Cute.

El Cajon - Meaning "the drawer". Like... a sock drawer. Freaky.

San Diego Rated 2nd Best Place to Live

Woo-hoo! San Diego was rated the second-best place to live in the U.S., with New York as number one. (But, funnily enough, New York is also rated the top worst place in America to live... so... I don't really get it.)

Underneath us, in order, is San Francisco, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Seattle, Denver, Phoenix, Chicago and Boston.

The worst places to live, in order from worst to least are New York, Detroit, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Chicago, Washington D.C.(whose number of murders have increased by SEVEN PERCENT since last year), Las Vegas, Cleveland, Dallas and Miami.

How is it possible that 4 out of the 9 worst cities also go on the best list? I don't get it. But, lucky for us, we stand true at second best, which is under New York, which is at the top of the worst list, so technically... I'd say we're number 1. WOO-HOO!!!

The Truly Lucky Onion

Okay, so I went on Google, and I typed in "The" because I was bored, and the first thing that came up was a thing called "The Onion."

Coincidence? I think NOT!

Ghost Hunters, Stand Back!

(Again, a picture that my friend took, so I had to wait for her to send it to me so I could blog about it.)

So, as you all know, the Star of India (that giant old ship docked down by the airport), is allegedly haunted. There's this one story of a small boy who was found as a stowaway on board, so they put him to work. Well, one day he was working on one of the masts, and was playing and messing around, and he fell from very high up. He ended up dying a horrible death of internal bleeding three days later, and it is said that he has haunted the ship ever since.

Well, ladies and gentlemen -- THE PROOF!!!

Yes, it's true. My friend took it. She didn't alter it at all, her camera wasn't on any special setting (trust me, it wasn't, but even if it WAS, what could have possibly made it look like that?)-- when she was about to take the picture, the ship looked completely normal on the screen, but when she took it, there it was! We believe the purple is the residual energy coming from... a ghost perhaps?!?!?!? WINK WINK!!! Anyway, my friend got dibs on sending it in to Ghost Hunters, so...

Nice Try, Inflatable Balls

I found the flaw in Ana's Cirque De La Mer inflatable balls, and it's right here.

Well, actually, if they have one of THOSE, then... well... that's just cool. Oh, and hey, Ana... did your brother get that for Christmas? Cuz that's really cool.

Twilight Perfume?

Ahhhh, yes... A bouquet of blood with top notes of plasma that linger and soften, blending with the bottom notes of white corpuscles.

But no, seriously. I found it. Unlike other perfumes named "Twilight", like that of Sarah Jessica Parker, this perfume is actually titled intentionally after the actual Twilight movie/book. I found it at Hot Topic, and I think it's being sold at Borders, but I'm not sure if it's sold anywhere else. I'd like to see what it smells like, but I don't think I'd buy it. It's a cool bottle though-- I'm a sucker for cool bottles. The descriptions says it smells like lavender and freesia (whatever that is), and the inscription on the bottle reads, "The forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest."





If any of you are interested, here's where I found it.
