Don’t ask me how she did it. All I know is that she did, using some kind of magical talent, but my little sister made me a DIYLanket (much like the Slanket but, without the hefty $$$
It even kept me warm while I slept in my truck on the way back from the Utah trip (of which I was already sad enough, I didn’t need sleep in a truck, in Rawlins, all night to make it suck even more. That was just the topping on the entire deseret.)
So, just so the Internets know, little sisters rock.
The article proclaiming the death of Arrested also references the new emerging Yindies
or Grups. The headline says it all.
He owns eleven pairs of sneakers, hasn’t worn anything but jeans in a year, and won’t shut up about the latest Death Cab for Cutie CD. But he is no kid. He is among the ascendant breed of grown-up who has redefined adulthood as we once knew it and killed off the generation gap.
The article talks about the change of adulthood in America. It used to be that there was a definate gap between ages. Apparently my agegroup doesn’t want to grow up?
Have I mentioned that I am a massive Retro TV and Culture Repository?
I think I have.
But for the record. I am.
Perhaps that’s why I enjoy shows such as the Family Guy (just made fun of by South Park) and Robot Chicken.
Sure, Family Guy is a Cartoon in the form of the Warner Bros shorts. The plot is often stopped for one off jokes that don’t move the story line along at all. Most often the little one off jokes are the one s that make me roll around on the floor, laughing.
Recently, they did a one off that *made* me remember a TV show that I had safely forgotten. One that probably deserved to be tucked away, far into the subconsious.
This show started with an animated beginning that looks to have been stollen from the likes of The Kroft brothers (Who made such Great shows as HR Puf-N-Stuf, Lidsville, and Land of the Lost *As a side note, if you garage sale, find one of these lunch boxes, let me know. Please*).
I think you can appreciate why this show drew my attention.
Much like a moth to the fire.
It’s a mixture of Puppets, and a drug trippin intro. So, here are a few screenshots from both intros, as well as a link to Retrojunk (A site that has all the theme videos to your favorite 70s, 80s and 90s tv shows. Excellent)
And lastly, the wonderful, wonderful Lyrics:
It’s The Great Space Coaster, Get on board.
On The Great Space Coaster, We’ll explore.
A comet ride of fantasy,
To a place where dreams fly fast and free.
With new friends and new things to see,
We’ll spin you through the galaxy.
On The Great Space Coaster, Wo-o-oah.
On The Great Space Coaster, Off we go.
Get on board, Step inside,
Soaring for a magic ride.
Rowing toward the other side,
Where only rainbows hide,
On The Great Space Coaster, Oh-oh-oh.
On The Great Space Coaster, Get on board.
On The Great Space Coaster, Get on board.
On The Great Space Coaster, Off we go.
The church website makes it, oh, IMPOSSIBLE to find or contact members of the local Singles congregation. That leaves me to just chill in the hotel, or drive, or stay at work.
Or look for SUSHI!
In a totally unrelated note, anyone have any suggestions for what to do in Spokane?
Work will be hectic, and looking at the blogging interface, some of the changes I made are now broken. I’ll also be adding some changes to the blog. I’ll keep ya’ll updated.
