Hello my quidnuncs. You’ve probably not been wondering what I’ve been up to but I’m going to tell you anyway.  This is pretty much what has been going on in the last few weeks.

  • I have officially become a major fan of Peter Cetera. Not only is he an incredible musician, but also a great guy who’s made some respectable decisions in the past. And his music is awesome. Fact: Did you know Cetera left Chicago around the same time Phil Collins left Genesis? Both groups were not the same after they lost them. Not surprisingly. >_>
  • I have, under the instruction of my friend Wepsley, started watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Have I become completely addicted and find it the funniest show since Powerpuff Girls? Eeeyup. Heck yes I have and do.
    I just finished the first season and these are the observations I have made:
    Rainbow Dash is the cutest thing ever.
    Pinkie Pie just makes me smile.
    Rarity is crucial to the show but far from my favorite and somewhat annoying.
    Twilight Sparkle totally has OCD.
    Fluttershy looks like a Precious Moments doll.
    Apple Jack has a wonderful accent.
    Scootaloo is the BEST ever, regardless of how much Wepsley may disagree.
    Spike is WAY under appreciated.
    And yes, I love this show. And it is hilarious.  And I want to become a Pegasus. In fact, Wepsley told me that I could turn into one by putting horseradish in my eye. I tried it and was disappointed when it failed…until NOW when I realized it actually WORKED. It’s just slow to effect. Let me explain.
    A bunch of days ago(like at least 4) I woke up with a horrible sickness that involved coughing and headaches and many other horrific symptoms that make you feel like you’re in the process of dying. Along with all this yuckiness came what I thought was a hoarse voice. After a day or two, I realized I sounded very much like Rainbow Dash when I talked. Like seriously. Just. Like her. Which means that it’s not a hoarse voice I have, but a pony voice, and I really am turning into a Pegasus.
    I am so excited!
  • I’ve discovered a couple of new shows that I like, including one that Mummzy and I just finished watching the first episode of — Sherlock Holmes. It’s got Benedict(awesome name, I KNOW) Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman in it so you know it’s awesome(if you know who those people are anyway, which I’m sure the walking encyclopedia who reads this blog knows…RIGHT?). And heck, Bendict makes a sweet awesome Sherlock. I didn’t think anyone could compete with Downey Jr. but Benedict plays the part perfectly. Yes I am calling him by his first name because it is an awesome first name.
    It’s a British show.
    Did I start talking in a British accent after watching this?
    Oh you know I did.Another one is called Battleground which is a awesome documentary-type show.  It’s not really a documentary but it’s made to look like one, sorta like The Office but more documentary-y. Anyway, it goes behind the scenes of the headquarters for a campaign for a senator. Having a fair amount of experience in the campaigning field, I greatly enjoy this show. I can’t wait till the next elections so I can volunteer at a headquarters!
    And then there’s John Doe, which Mom finds cheesy but I find AWESOME.


    And that’s about it.

  • I’ve seen a lot of this lately and I really don’t get it, but what the heck is it with all the romances with the guys wanting to EAT their beloveds? Or more, the girls being attracted to guys who may eat them? Twilight series, new Red Riding Hood tales…
    And why is this such a popular trend right now?
    Oh yeah, it’s DRAMA. “Oh she’s going to promise to be with him forever and love him and get through it together even though he wants to eat her? That is SO romantic.”
    Here’s a message PEOPLE: If he wants to eat you, he is NOT good marriage material.
    I’m just really not sure why it’s hard to understand this.
    I mean, if I knew a good looking guy who wanted to eat me, do you think I’d accept an invitation to coffee?
    No.
    Because I don’t like coffee.
    End of story.
  •  Cake in a mug is not a good idea.

 

And I think that is about it. I know I am missing something but oh well. I’ll write a new post about that some other time.
But for now, I have Sherlock Holmes to watch.
The game is afoot!
