Ashlee sent us a package with stuff from S. America in it. Trinity got a pink scarf that she used for a head wrap - and looked very glamorous. She also got a little flowered apron with yellow edging that she turned sideways and tied around her arms like it was a bolero. Jonas got an adorable little fuzzy alpaca hat and alpaca socks with little alpaca’s on them. I was explaining to him about alpaca wool and we had just watch a show called “Franny’s Feet” this morning about shearing sheep to make clothes and he was totally into it.
This is proof that when people live outside of their means, they don’t know how to cope when money is scarce. What a sad thing. It sounds like their family is heartbroken, as they should be. I hope that anyone who is going through financial changes right now can inspire themselves and each other to adjust in a more logical way. I mean, you can still have happiness if you don’t have money.
Madoff is a jerk. I keep thinking of the movie Shark Tale when the Will Smith’s fish character is in front of the press and the crazy transient fish announces “I’M HIS FINANCIAL ADVISOR!” … (yes, that crazy) I think there was puppet involved too. It was funny, but the shtuff that people like Madoff pulls is not. :/
We watched a silly kids movie called IGOR a week or so ago. It was cute, but I can’t get this song out of my mind:
“The biggah the figgah, the mo’ that I feedah
the mo that I feedah, the biggah the figgah
The biggah the figgah, the mo that I feedah,
the mo that I feedah, the mo that I LOVE!”
also the line “I can put her to work, under a circus tent!” …ohnoes.
Another louis prima one revealing his love of curvy ladies:
“A banana split for my baby, and a glass of plain water for me”
Sir Mixx Alot is like his protegé. haha.
hahah. Of course, the kids love it when I sing it and it is hilarious when I sing it in the kitchen and dance… yes dance. They also have the ELF song “pennies from heaven” which is also a funny one that I get stuck in my mind as well.
It’s too bad NBC doesn’t take unsolicited scripts… this would make a really great SNL skit! “Since we cannot accept unsolicited scripts, show ideas, or other creative material, any such submission by email will be deleted without being read.”
I really want them to spoof the McDonalds commercial.
Guy1: Hey! Did you hear that McDonalds is selling Gourmet coffee again!?
Guy2: NO! Wow, I can grow out my mullet!
Guy1: Yeah! I can start wearing my buffet pants too! (shows man put on ‘busy’ ‘hammer’ pants)
Guy2: I almost read a book the other day!!!!(relieved)
Guy1: DON’T! I don’t even know how to read! (proudly)
Guy2: Well, what are we going to do about this?(camera pans to his legs with fishnets and stiletto’s)
Guy1: Don’t worry, they have a drive through-we could gain 40lbs and no one would even notice!
Guy2: yeah! It’s like getting back IN the closet!
Here is the original commercial:
I am so sick of those commercials portrayal of ‘coffee culture’. They are making it out like people who sit in coffee shops are fake jerks. Yes. I did already try to submit this. haha. You can view the women’s version over at feministing.com, then write McDonald’s to tell them what you think. I don’t think they are mocking starbucks per se, but just coffee culture and the intelligence that comes out of it as a whole. Besides, if you’ve even TRIED a McDonald’s coffee, it actually makes Starbucks sound really delicious… which is very difficult to accomplish.
