Tape It, Attractively

Conversation in the studio today:

Melodie: "This is the bad tape... and it's called 'Tape it', hah!"

Beej: "That's silly, it should at least stick then"

Me: "I'm going to make a tape company one day...
...I'll call it 'Attractive'..."

Melodie: "Attractive...?  Because it is attracted to things! hah, I can promote it for you in all of my classes.  I'll tell my students: 'Just remember, if your tape isn't attractive.... then...?"

Me: "...then your work won't be either"

Watch out people: future career = CEO and Art Director of artist tape company
Catch phrase: "If your tape isn't Attractive®, then your work won't be either"

Thank You Chocolate

A good piece of Chocolate has about 200 calories. As I enjoy two servings per day, and a few more on weekends, I consume about 3,500 calories of chocolate in a week, which equals one pound of weight per week.
Therefore, in the past 3 1/2 years, I have had a Chocolate calorie intake of 180 pounds.  Considering my current weight is less than 180, I would have wasted away several months ago.

I owe my life to Chocolate.

(unfortunately I cannot take credit for this wonderfully witty essay—my roommate sent it to me and I only tweaked part of it)

Little Red Riding Hood—Roald Dahl

This is a great for a laugh, my family read it aloud during the reading time. I had a WONDERFUL laugh within the last verse or so :) it's a great twist to a much loved tale:

As soon as Wolf began to feel
That he would like a decent meal,
He went and knocked on Grandma's door.
When Grandma opened it, she saw
The sharp white teeth, the horrid grin,
And Wolfie said, 'May I come in?'
Poor Grandmamma was terrified,
'He's going to eat me up!' she cried.
And she was absolutely right.
He ate her up in one big bite.
But Grandmamma was small and tough,
And Wolfie wailed, 'That's not enough!
'I haven't yet begun to feel
'That I have had a decent meal!'
He ran around the kitchen yelping,
'I've got to have another helping!'
Then added with a frightful leer,
'I'm therefore going to wait right here
'Till Little Miss Red Riding Hood
'Comes home from walking in the wood.'
He quickly put on Grandma's clothes,
(Of course he hadn't eaten those.)
He dressed himself in coat and hat.
He put on shoes and after that
He even brushed and curled his hair,
Then sat himself in Grandma's chair.
In came the little girl in red.
She stopped. She stared. And then she said,

'What great big ears you have, Grandma.'
'All the better to hear you with,' the Wolf replied.
'What great big eyes you have, Grandma,'
said Little Red Riding Hood.
'All the better to see you with,' the Wolf replied.

He sat there watching her and smiled.
He thought, I'm going to eat this child.
Compared with her old Grandmamma
She's going to taste like caviare.

Then Little Red Riding Hood said,
'But Grandma, what a lovely
great big furry coat you have on.'

'That's wrong!' cried Wolf. 'Have you forgot
'To tell me what big teeth I've got?
'Ah well, no matter what you say,
'I'm going to eat you anyway.'
The small girl smiles. One eyelid flickers.
She whips a pistol from her knickers.
She aims it at the creature's head
And bang, bang, bang, she shoots him dead.
A few weeks later, in the wood,
I came across Miss Riding Hood.
But what a change! No cloak of red,
No silly hood upon her head.
She said, 'Hello, and do please note
'My lovely furry wolf-skin coat.'

Old Couple Video

Check this out!

It's a must see for one of those 'off' days :) The movie pretty much speaks for itself, but I'll add the background:

This elderly couple were in the doctor's office when they decided to entertain the people in the waiting room. They've been married for 62 years. Too cute

I dream of being this cool when I am 90...
