Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater

I was clicking through Hulu and I just happened to glance down in the right and OMFG.

Hulu now has Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater in their collections that they've acquired. This one is from 1987 and gloriously toned down to be fit for the eyes of children.It's fairy tales that have been Kittified.

I need to stop using the big font, but I can't. I'm so excited. I remember being young, standing inside Purrfect Place (my local Sanrio store) and seeing these VHS tapes playing. Coveting them, but being unsure about that damn mouth. Now I don't have to be sure, I can watch the blasphemy that is this mouth for free! :

Thanks Hulu.com. I took this image as a screenshot!

It's quite sick, I can't believe I devoted close to 30 mins to watching this child's cartoon, but I think it's quality programming compared to that of the Bachelor, which I also committed two 40 mins episodes to last night. Yikes. If I can't be crazy at work, I like to see others become uninhibitedly nuts. I'm throwing my hat in the ring and I'm going to devote 30 mins to this show everyday for the next 13 days. I need to see everything.

Hello Kitty and the Wizard of Paws, in this episode HK plays Hello Dorothy.

Walking through the dark forest... it is scary! Instead of flying monkeys, they are flying dogs!

Encore! This image would have been cuter if HK had no mouth...

There's another episode following the Wizard of Paws, but it was Tuxedo Sam as the main character and an adaptation of Pinocchio, which was cute but, I was tired of screen shooting. Anyway, enjoy it as I'm doing.... or don't but love me, love Hello Kitty.

(68/365) Muji Multicolor

This is the third day I've used this at work. It may be my best co-worker. 5-in-1 pen! Old school pen with modern design!

(67/365) Unique Uniqlo

Pretty color pashmina! It's a sweet mint green which I bought at Uniqlo, the Japanese Gap. It's home on my accessories wall.

(66/365) Zaya Clams Monday

How does something that looks so shiny and delish actually taste so bad? MEhhhh. Don't order these at Zaya!

(65/365) Hell-GA - AT-Hell

Nothing beats sitting at La Guardia airport, hoping that you'll get on an earlier flight so that you can make it home earlier, so that you can make it to work the next day without being exhausted.

Back to school.. back to school... and by school, I mean the workplace.

Better off Ted-tastic!

They just aired a PG episode on cursing, which can now be found on Hulu and ABC

BUT HERE ARE THE OUTTAKES. These are some of the most creative names I've ever seen filmed in a workplace environment. Too bad I can't use these at work!




Top Doozies:

..."Don't listen to these sister fucking hilbillies..."

...."But then Mark called her a fingerbanging chicken diddler."

"I can help you, you sweaty thong in hooker's money crack."

"I need your help, walking cock cozie.
What's the problem, Frosty the snow-whore?"

I hope this show doesn't get cancelled!

(64/365) No photos please!

Saturday afternoon at the Guggenheim. I caught the last weekend of the Kandinsky exhibit and so did these other people!

(63/365) Runts

These are the runts of my baking litter that I set out as bite size treats for Friday morning breakfast.

(62/365) Devil's Food

If this is wrong, being right must look like shit.

I baked this and these for work on Thursday night. Cold weather is perfect for baking!

These too. I've been trying out my icing tips. 

I love shoes but hate to wear them

Dear girls at work who wear beautiful shoes with heels,

I am jealous of the way you look but I love the flats that I own 5 pairs of in the same style.
I own, from the left, shoe 1, shoe 3.

Then,

shoe 3 in this row.

NEVER ENOUGH! Four pairs are sitting in my closet, cozy, warm and so new! Really. I can't say enough good things about this one style of shoe. No support, but cute. The best part of this shoe is the easy access on and off. I love slipping them off under my training table.

xo Target, my love.

On the Road

This morning, while wearing the wrong glasses in my car on my drive to work, I spied what I thought to be a Bentley driving in front of me. Could it be? It was dark, as I was in my car by 6:45am, but I was excited. Something elemental, I think it's my inner Robin Leech, LOVES Bentleys. Mmm!

Anyway, I make a note of it in my pre-caffeinated mind to look it up, which I do - and here is what I saw.

I saw, wings flanking a circle with letters. There was a Genesis written on some place on the car so naturally, I typed in Genesis Bentley into my G-search. Guess what! If you see these cars on the road, they will look like this:

BLASPHEMY. THE GENESIS IS A HYUNDAI.

I am horrified.

Michael Cera on Jersey Shore, on Conan O'Brian, Dancing

Michael Cera learned dance moves from Pauly D, which he taught to Conan.




I almost blacked out from too much pleasure. Too much. So many long limbs!

Note to self: This is post 2 on Jersey Shore.

Emmama Love

Emma's back for more Burberry ads! I took these images from Burberry.com!

 

 

 

Emma is beautiful but has the guy in the photos with her started creeping you out yet? One of them is her brother. But which... MORE PHOTOS

 

 

 After glancing at all the photos, I'd have to say that Emma should keep legs down and covered. But otherwise, she's 100% gaaaaargeous!

(61/365) Poolside hello!

It's so cold in Georgia right now the pool has iced over.

Lounging on the pool!

(60/365) Hello, again!

On the shelf.




Remember him?

(59/365) First Class, up in the sky

I love packages. This one has my Muji planner in it!

Let's read a book on Santa... OH, Satan! Well... Yeah I wrote this.

Read this article from NYmag's Daily Intel.

As a liberal arts major, I'm familiar with buying books of my professor. Reading their works and listening to their lectures like it is the gospel for a short period of time. This situation is just like that. But in this case, it's a book about Satan.

and for sixth graders. How to "recognize those serving Satan and bring them to Jesus." Ah, and it happened in Brooklyn. Oh, Brooklyn.

If it happens in the North, it's funny and commentary and CRAZY. If it happens in the South, there would have been a lot more Devil came down to Georgia jokes and a general chastising of the backward South. Double standard!

BTW, I just searched for devil on Google images. DON'T. It. is. scary! Thank goodness there's an image of Hello Kitty in a devil costume!

New Year, Same Addiction

Despite the fact that I have to wake up BY 6 am for work, I was up until 1 am hopelessly staring at my computer screen. My poor tired eyes victims of my vice, ONLINE SHOPPING.While I was trolling my usual websites yesterday, mine eyes caught upon a trend that I would like to pursue.

NERDS. I love them.

Not the candies, they are disgusting. I know because as a recent school teacher, I accidentally thought it was a good idea to eat some - SUGAR MANIA. I went a little crazy afterward. I can't imagine what happens within a child's body.

Havoc, I'm sure. These nerds also wreak havoc upon my body. What sort of nerds? The most traditional sort, duh - nerds that come in the form of men. I want to buy apparel and accessories that shout my love across rooftops!!

(from forever21.com)

However, that's not very practical, so I'll just post my love all over this very private, public website.

 (Hello Kitty loves nerds too! sanrio.com) 

Two of my favorite things in one product? I had to keep it together when I saw this... it is NOT practical to buy a lunch box that I would have to keep covered in order not to be any weirder that I already am to my co-workers.

If you see any more nerd loving things, feel free to send them my way!

J. Crew wants to know what I'm wearing in 2010

Mostly, if I'm at home, it's going to consist of pajamas, tights, and all the basic t-shirts that I bought because I thought I needed the "basics".

Whatever that I decide to where, I'm positive that it's not this:

What was J.Crew thinking? Tuxedo on the top, pasty high-waisted flapper on the bottom? I'm not sure if being a Wedding Singer a la Adam Sandler is really what I should be hoping to buy in the new year.

I LOVE JERSEY SHORE

Actually, I don't. But I do, not the show itself, but the social commentary firestorm that it's brought on. There's nothing I love more than trash talking some trashy trash. Damn, Snookie.

Carrot Cupcakes

These were made* pre-icing tips, pre-Martha Stewart, right on the precipice of 2009.

Cream cheese icing with candied carrot strips

A carrot wreath!

Twirly twirls

Does that look like a mirror R to you?

Naked!  :)

*Baked with Heather!

Commitment to Creativity

I've just purchased this:

and these:

They're icing decorating tips!

I am going to make amazing cupcakes for no reason other than the fact that I want to. This blog just became Christine's cupcake blog.

(58/365) Joy in Spades

Today, I played Spades the first time since the beach trip I took as my high school graduation trip. I LOVED IT. Some things you really don't have to change because they were never broken.

After an epic battle, we won. See EC. Hey Emily!

(57/365) Thai me up!

Thai food at Lavender with Mikey. My, what a dirty delicious combination of simple flavors!

(56/365) Sweet, sweet Martha!

I woke up and saw this on the breakfast table. Cupcake decorating is totally happening! Happy 2010!

i will make these.

Eat this, I dare you

The portrayal of the universe according to Jimmy Dean sucks. Out of all of the places that the sun would talk to a rainbow, in an office? Now that I actually go to an office... This makes me not happy. 

The leprechaun that comes out of the small door (at 17 seconds), totally freaks me out. This commercial is awesome.

Go here if you care enough to see the actual commercial.

(55/365) Creativity in 2010

Since starting my new job, I've realized that I need a continued creative outlet. A cheap, creative outlet that doesn't take up much room. I've made headbands, mustaches, and now... I've decided that I'm going to throw my hat in to bake cupcakes in 2010. Cupcakes, the cake in a cup - that I do not necessarily actually like eating... AND I can give them to my co-workers as well! They don't have to sit around and I've already bought the Martha Stewart cupcake holder.

As you can see above, I've started! It's carrot cake!

Happy New Year! The Babysitter's Club is back!

When I woke up this morning to find breakfast in bed, I knew that 2010 had started off on the right foot. Instead of hovering over a toilet, popping Advil, begging for water, chugging Gatorade and dreading the photos on my digital camera.. I woke up in a warm bed and breakfast of toast, Canadian bacon, and a California omelet of avocado, tomato and Gruyere cheese.

Smiling, I thought back to this blog and an entry that I hadn't had the chance yet to post. Yesterday, whilst I was working on New Year's Eve, I noticed upon a quick entry in NYmag and the Times. Apparently the Babysitters Club series is being revamped, repackaged, and brought back!

I hate to admit it, but I think I might have read all of them as a young girl. My elementary school teachers had large stocks of them and I read all of them in class, out of sheer boredom. It bothered me that Ann M. Martin wasn't a real woman. But not enough to stop loving Marianne, Logan, and most of all Claudia.

Claudia, in my young mind, was all that was cool. I thought of Claudia as I ate an illicitly hidden piece of junk food - my favorite, Little Debbie's nutty buddy! I thought of Claudia as I slipped on my white stirrup tights, mint green converses and corresponding baggy t-shirt at the age of 10. Fashion-wise, I always admired her, and apparently so did a girl named Kim, from Amherst, Mass. She started a blog and it is pure genius:

She was an artist and her baby sitting kit had a ton of art supplies. Basically, I wanted to be her.

... and now they'll be back and although I'm waxing poetic of their return, I will not be contributing to the books by buying them, just passing the word along! Nostalgia!
