Happy St. P

Yep...

I am now going to refer you to last year's post which can never be topped in leprechaun amazingness.

I think this is my problem

(Thanks to Marcus for this hilarious vid.)

Happy Valentine's Day my friends!

No shadow

Well, here you go:



Is it just me or is this just the silliest tradition ever? Why the costumes? Why the lame scrolls? Why the awkward humor and the awkward grown man cuddling of rodent in public? I'm just not convinced.

Here's what Groundhog Day really means to me: A funny movie that we've all watched 50 times as a kid on TBS. Maybe this was irony, but I felt like this show was on all the time. I love this scene - that's what I would do if I were him - become a concert pianist. And the little girl being pushed out the door in that outfit... I need that outfit!

Weird Christmas Moment

This is the most uncomfortable Christmas pairing I've ever seen! Bowie and Bing? I often want to sit in on the creative meetings where they come up with these ideas. The history of this song is funny and interesting. The 'peace on earth' bit was written right then and there because Bowie thought the song was lame. Niiice. I totally agree with Bowie. Little Drummer Boy is my least favorite Christmas song.

Be sure to check out the remake, too. It's delightful.

Rudolph the Regular Reindeer

Nothin' special here but another funny claymation vid.

Holiday Mash-Up of Awesomeness

I love this so much it hurts.

Bad Santa

Santaaaaaaaaaa you naughty old fart!

Quarter of a Century

Hello!! I know. I've neglected you and I'm sorry. I've been... busy.

Ryan understands. Don't you Ryan?

He just gets me. Have a great weekend my darlings and come to my party if you're in town!

• I'd totally go out with this guy. What a charmer!

• Oh, kitty. Oh, kitty. Don't die.

• Further proof that this girl is an idiot. Role model for 8-year-olds much? I can't handle her. 

• This kid has big dreams and high hopes for his life. And he's documenting it.

• I dedicate this video to myself.

• Wanna get me a bday gift? This is the only thing I want. I'm serious. One in every color please.

Happy Shopping

It's Black Friday! Honestly, I've only ever been shopping on this day once. It was miserable and crowded. I don't see the appeal. But for those of you who love it - Enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving in space

Also... HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my sweet dad who sometimes looks at this blog. Thanks for all that you do! You are such a great man and I just love you like crazy. I dedicate this video to you!

Halloween is over...

and I forgot to post this during the Halloween week of goodness. I'm sorry. Don't hate me. Enjoy. It's really quite hilar.



p.s. I really love haunted houses and I am really disappointed I didn't get to go to one this year. Those of you who went without me - you're dead meat.

Loved Me Some Scary Movies

I'm a sensitive girl... I can't handle REALLY scary movies. I seriously get so freaked out, it takes me weeks to recover. BUT, I did love the Halloween movies they used to make when we were kiddies.

Here's my list (in no particular order) of scary movies and movie moments from my childhood. If I missed any that you think should be on this list, please tell me!

• Return to Oz - Are you kidding me? This movie was terrifying! The scene with the heads? Incredibly horrific for little kids.

• Arachnophobia - Of course this is one of the creepiest shows for me. Spiders are the worst! This scene gets me because there are always spiders in my bathroom! Hate it.

• Pee Wee's Big Adventure - Come on, the Large Marge scene? Fareeeaked me out!

• Dumbo - Pink Elephants on Parade is what nightmares are made of.

• Beetlejuice - Two scenes really got to me on this one: When Adam and Barbara do that face thing (I apologize - it's in Spanish, but hey, you get the picture.) and the end where Beetlejuice becomes that striped snakey thing.

• Earnest Scared Stupid - Remember the scene where the monster is lying in bed with the little girl and she doesn't know until she turns around? When I was little, this was SO disturbing to me! For years I would always check my bed before I got in. I couldn't find that particular scene, but here's a good one.

• Watcher in the Woods -This movie really freaked me out when I was little. Thanks, Disney. Thanks a lot. This scene is freaky... and this alternate ending isn't so freaky.

• Neverending Story - The 'nothingness' always a concept that kind of scared me when I was little. Also, the wolf that jumps out of the picture thing... not cool! I found this music video and it's pretty ridiculously awesome.

• Frankenweenie - same kid actor as Neverending Story! This one wasn't so scary as it was awesome.

• Little Monsters - This movies still freaks me out! Howie Mandel does a performance of a lifetime. Also, check out this amazing 80's commercial encouraging kids to call a 900 number! Classic.

• IT - I have no idea why my mother would let me watch this as a child. It still scares me so bad! I can't step on a shower drain or walk by a gutter grate without thinking that Pennywise is in there and he's gonna grab me. Ew. Even still, I get the chills just thinking about it.

Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Head

Check out these amazing pumpkins by Ray Villafane. Kind of cool to see a professional sculptor have a go at a jack-o-lantern. I want him to do one of my head. That would be magical.

Snickers are gross

and so is this "lady". I saw this for the first time on TV the other day and I was thoroughly frightened.

Get Candy Get Candy

I sure miss the days of trick-or-treating. Filling my old dingy pillowcase with as much candy as possible... Nothing better! This awesome chart is pretty accurate...

Jerry says it best:

Halloween Week

In honor of this spooky week, I'm going to try and post something Halloween-y or creeperish everyday! Darling, I know.

I really love this older SNL Digital Short. Question - is it ironical that Ellen Page is in this video which centers around dreams and waking up from dreams and wondering what real life is and then a few years later she stars in a movie about dreams and waking up from dreams and wondering what real life is??? Just an observation! What do you think? Either way, enjoy this gem of a vid.



p.s. Did you see this or this? Both good. All related.
