-Kimberley (& Madison who has been incredibly M.I.A. lately, ahem!)

Ladies And Gents, Dogs and Cats...

put your hands and paws together, for I give you....
The AYE AYE LEMUR!!!!


As I started the trend back in may, of animal months, I decided to keep up with it and look up creepy June-appropriate bat-looking creatures (there is no logic behind this statement). I thought it would be cool to make June "Batman's Cave Month" combining my love of superhero comic books (HIDDEN GEEK ALERT) with stalactite/stalagmite crystals. Imagine Bermuda. Now imagine a beautiful, dark, natural crystal cave with water puddles and sharp crystal protrusions. That's an image straight out of my childhood, mang(s)!

This Gollum-like creature takes the cake though. Don't call him ugly, he's just scraggly, tiny, rat-like, and has the heeby-jeebiest of all bulging fluorescent green eyes. A rat? nay! A bat? nay! This rainforest-dwelling creeper hails from MADAGASCAR, so it's as cool as any cartoon like character shaking it's behind and singing "i like to move it, move it".

On a more awesome note, according to trustworthy site Wikipedia.com, the Aye-aye is "often viewed as a harbinger of evil and killed on sight. Others believe that should one point its long middle finger at you, you were condemned to death. Some say the appearance of an Aye-aye in a village predicts the death of a villager, and the only way to prevent this is to kill the Aye-aye. The Sakalava people go so far as to claim Aye-ayes sneak into houses through the thatched roofs and murder the sleeping occupants by using their middle finger to puncture the victim's aorta.^[5]"

Can I just say that any animal who knows how to point its long middle finger at you must be pretty BADASS. What a rebel!

In all honesty, I just stumbled upon this little guy and... He spooks me!

More completely reference-worthy facts from wiki-what!: "the name was also hypothesized to be of European origin, with a European observer overhearing an exclamation of fear and surprise ("aiee!-aiee!") by Malagasy who encountered it. However, the name exists in remote villages, so it is unlikely to be of European origins. Another hypothesis is that it derives from "heh heh," which is Malagasy for, "I don't know." If correct, then the name might have originated from Malagasy people saying "heh heh" to Europeans in order to avoid saying the name of a feared, magical animal"

FEARED. MAGIC. ANIMAL. Aiee! aiee! I think that about sums up everything I've been looking for in an animal friend.

Heh-heh,
Kimberley

Oh, I see what you did there

Feast your eyes on THIS beauty. That's right, may is husky month, as of now. Happy MAY everyone! Make sure you buy me presents ahead of time, so that when the 24th hits, i can unwrap my huskies and they will be as gorgeous as this pup!


If that doesn't work then I will settle for a slushpuppy. swampflavour please.


If that doesn't work then I will settle for a blue beanie.



If that doesn't work then I will settle for this creepy guy.


If that doesn't work then I will settle for the felt hat.

As you can see, I just successfully pulled off a Zach Galifianakus. Who? This guy:


I'd like to also point out that yesterday, at our dear friend Phil's birthday at the Gas Lamp, Madison got hit on by a MORE HAGGARD, MORE OLD, CREEPIER version of ZACH G. GROSS. She should really slut it up less at the club, is all i'm sayin.

If that doesn't work then I will settle for Best Wingman ever,

What your TV show says about you!

I do these alot, so here goes.

WHAT TV SHOWS YOU CHOOSE TO WATCH AND WHAT THAT SAYS ABOUT YOU!!!

If you watch MAD MEN:
-You go to or have graduated from a four year university. You read blogs on the internet and might know a thing or two about html code. You're probably waiting in line for an ipad right now. You check rotten tomatoes before seeing any movie, and you considering going to film school at some point in your life.

If you watch TWO AND A HALF MEN:
-I have no idea who you are. Who are the people that continue to watch this show? Seriously though.

If you watch HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER:
-You probably also watched "Friends." This is probably the only comedy you watch on TV. You mostly watch for NPH and you liked him in "Dr. Horribles Sing Along Blog." You like popular internet videos like "Key Board Cat" and "Charlie Bit Me." YOu also thought that "The Hangover" was legitimately funny. You like small dogs.

If you watch 30 ROCK:
-You are the best kind of person there is. You watch SNL religiously, even though you know it sucks. If you are a girl, you think Jason Sudeikis and a Jon Hamm hybrid would make the ideal man. And if you are a man, you think Tina Fey would make the ideal lady. You find Jimmy Fallon funny somehow. You were lame in highschool but were pretty ok in college.

If you watch 90210:
-You are still in highschool or maybe someone from Mission Viejo. You think this is the greatest show ever because you never watched "The OC." You like guys like Channing Tatum and you still wear Juicy Couture sweat pants. You like Victoria's Secret and SUV's.

If you watch DANCING WITH THE STARS:
- You are someones mother or you live in the midwest. You aren't a dancer at all. You liked Twitch from SYTYCD. You like shopping malls.

im tired.

<33 madison.

7-up free publicity

it's april!!! whoop-whoop! once again you can thank madison for leaving DAPUNCH hanging!
maybe if enough people send her hate mail, my counterpart will finally get off of her royal dog pillow and write.
today is dedicated to Fido and Cool Spot.
Remember all of those old video games with the red dot guy and Fido Dido, of 7-Up fame?

I was never one of 'those people' who purchased the paraphernalia , except for maybe the occasional cereal-box watch or "lucky charms" bracelet...but just check out that shirt! brings back the old nostalgia! They, being probably Coca-Cola corporation (I'm almost certain over 90% of sodas are owned by them), should let these cartoons make a comeback...because they are just fantastic.

take me home, country road

You may be feeling deceived, screaming in anger "WHERE HAS JANUARY GONE?"
I too am quite ashamed that we let it slip by. What happened to all those empty promises about the new year being ridiculously awesome, and those fun-filled blogs and the free cookies and cakes?

We made extra cookies from scratch the other week (which was in January): White Buttery Chocolate Chippers, that turned out a bit too cake-y (someone put too much baking soda in the batter). No, no picture. We're not photojournalists here...just...blaagherzz

In this blog, you will read some, but you will also see some. ...commercials. This is my fav airplane safety video:

January, January... in a few sentences, summarizing what we WOULD have written (had Madison taken the time to type up Something. We should all complain about That!)

1. Taylor swift took all the grammys and still looks strange. Perhaps TSwift is no more than another "BRITNEY", manufactured by the music industry. obvi. Yes...yes...be critical of everything young Jo-Bros/T-Swift Lovers. Kimberley, Why didn't you use the word "teenybopper" here in lieu of "lovers"? Why? I absolutely cringe at the word. It's like some mother of 4 in her late 30's created such a word, thinking it was HIP and would catch on...as it has. But NAY! I refuse to subject my blog to the social / literary wants. Just as I refuse to say "HORSEY SAUCE" when I'm at Arby's...which hasn't happened since High School.

2. The Los Angeles rains were deadly. Car crashes. Deaths (probably, we can't verify this). Severe Wounds.... WORMS. 'Nuff said. At least we had "DineLA" to look forward to. Ends this week (in February), so it's kind of a cross-over as to what-we-would-have-written.

3. I gave in and watched LOST-now back and more confusing than ever!... yet another ABC time-sucker. I still don't like watching it because it seems absolutely pointless, cult-like, and at times boring. I want resolves, man! Resolves!!!


5. Looking forward to FEB 14, our annual "let's go out and have us a GIRL'S VALENTINE'S DAY!" featuring myself, Sapna, and (new to our tradition as of last yr) Madison and Mariel! I think we're gonna watch that horrible-looking movie featuring 20+ celebrities and then search the town for some fun. I was asked to write an article on the Upright Citizen's Brigade Feb 14 show, but alas MIDTERMS, so that's another option for the night. Also, shout out to my improv theatre, "The Space". Our team "Token Boy" will be performing at IO West on Vday. And my team Hot Biscuit will have a special show on Saturday!!!

THAT'S IT MAN! Sorry about the lack of imaginative story ideas. Or for 3 & 5 (which technically cheated and didn't have anything to do with January).

To hold you over til the next entry, bc who knows when M. Vandy will finally get of her lazy blogbutt and post, here's PUFFS TISSUE! Bc i've been obsessed with their commercials & little characters for ...forever.


and now for the Tostidos pub, which I'm also in love with:


ENJOY! FEBRUARY! ENJOY!

Harpy Newr Yerr everybody! punch! PUNCH! punch!!!!

Boy have we got some great punches ahead. K.O.'s, T.K.O.'s, snogging.. Agnus...thongs and all that fun stuff in a bag, we'll punch your christmas lights out! (which will be convenient if mom and dad forgot to take them down and the month has somehow skipped to june) ...we're judging you, parents!

Anywarz, i've been playing a lot of Wii at home with my Mii, a befreckled friend who is my exact in the virtual world. Madison has one as well, and it looks EXACTLY like here. hilar (if only i had a screen shot to show of it!) one day perhaps. If you ever want to challenge me to brain academy, I'd be down. Because My brain is Quite Massive according to the little peanut headed teacher with a moustache. Visual please? Ta-Da!

As far as movies go, I saw Sherlock Holmes two days after it's debut on Xmas and thought it was a decent take on the infamous literary detective (though not As exciting or innovative with the twists as I had hoped for), anything with RDJ surpasses the soggy waffle criteria (which goes: soggy waffle, wet noodle, mac 'n cheesy, shepard's pie, to pumpkin pancakes--the all-star highest rating). Yes, I just made that up. But truly, it put on a good show and Mr. Cheated With the Maid- Law was a lovely and smart addition to the film.

Moving on to the tele- lots of Mr. Bean, Friends, Iron Chef, Launch My Line and, well, let the following speak for itself.

At home I've been frequenting "The Disney Channel" as per usual, hovering specifically around "The Wizards of Waverly Place" trying to decide if David Henrie is gay or not. According to "Cha Cha.com" a site that is quite unreliable and sketchy, the answer is No. but one can't be sure. All in all, my favourite still remains Raviv Ullman. I've definitely blogged about this before, but he's still a highlight of people to befriend in the near future. Madison...any comments?

Lots of good thoughts and feelings for the coming of 2010, and especially due to it being the YEAR of Graduation (which has finally arrived, godsavethequeen!). Life proves once more to be cyclical, though most would argue that it is linear what with the creation of 'time' and such--something we've come to learn I don't really buy into. I wonder at which point we will all end up regenerated cells.

We, brains, moving our bodies. Multiple cells tiny microscopic organisms, bacteria, molecules, etc. and 'spirits' making up our human life forms. After having read "The Calcutta Chromosome" (and Hemingway's "A Moveable Feast" which I recommend greatly) as well as attended my first Hindu wedding, I am beginning to think that reincarnation isn't so farfetched. Because if we are just matter, mind, and 'spirit' then we will easily live on, forever, in a different way, and all of our friends and family who've left us (and so many have in the recent times) are also more alive than they ever were before.
