Random Mumbles

Sorry, I didn't really have much time today to write about anything... I was mainly spending the day being depressed because I have to go back to work after a long maternity leave.. ;__;

So, because I had no time to blog today, here's a random picture.

And because I told myself that I would never let my daughter Riley watch Barney, here's another picture because it speaks the truth!!

Demi Lovato

Every so often I'll find a musician or actor that I like. This time, It's Demi Lovato. Ok yeah, she's a star born from the Disney channel but so what? Her personality and singing make her awesome!

Demi began her acting career at the age of six on the children's television series Barney & Friends where she met Selena Gomez. I, being a Disney geek, loved the movie Camp Rock where she played the lead role of Mitchie, a girl who loved to sing and write her own songs. One of my favorite songs from the movie is "This is Me" where she sings with Joe Jonas.

I didn't really take notice of her until I watched the movie again (Disney likes to play their movies.. a lot..) and the song stuck in my head.. which in turn made me want to download it. I did, and have played it numerous times that have probably annoyed my lovely husband Chris.

Afterwards I decided to buy  her album entitled "Don't Forget" that she co-wrote with the Jonas Brothers.
The songs,  "La La Land, Don't Forget, Get Back, and Two Worlds Collide" are my favorite. Soon afterwards, I bought her second album that came out in July called "Here we go again".

But that's not the only reason why I like her! I love watching her show "Sonny with a Chance"
The series centers on character Sonny Munroe (Demi Lovato), who moves with her mother from a small town in Middleton, Wisconsin to Hollywood, California after being cast in a comedy show called So Random!. The series follows Sonny's first experiences with Hollywood and fame.

The show has been picked up for a second season so I look forward to watching that as well as Camp Rock 2!

LOLcat Invasion

I'm sure many people have seen a LOLcat somewhere on the web, the most popular one being "I CAN HAZ CHEEZBURGER" written underneath it, but one has to wonder.. where did the LOLcat come from? Where did it start? And... LOLcat... has it's own wiki page... I kid you not! Here's alittle from it:

A lolcat is an image combining a photograph, most frequently of a cat, with a humorous and idiosyncraticcaption in (often) broken English—a dialect which is known as "lolspeak" or "kitty pidgin" and which parodies the poor grammar typically attributed to Internet slang. The name "lolcat" is a compound word of the acronymic abbreviation "LOL" and the word "cat".[1] A synonym for "lolcat" is cat macro, since the images are a type of image macro.[2] Lolcats are designed for photo sharing imageboards and other internet forums.
The term lolcat gained national media attention in the United States when it was covered by Time,[3] which wrote that non-commercialized phenomena of the sort are increasingly rare, stating that lolcats have "a distinctly old-school, early 1990s, Usenet feel to [them]".

Of course LOLcats have their own website: http://www.icanhascheezburger.com
It was made by Eric Nakagawa after he discovered the first LOLcat image.

LOLcats even have their own world, were Ceiling cat and Basement cat were born. "Ceiling Cat" and the corresponding "Basement Cat" (a black cat who lives in the basement) have been said to represent God and Satan in the lolcat universe.

 I do find it quite amusing to go to their website and browse the pictures. It's fun to do when you want to procrastinate!  LOLcats also have a website that is devoted to their language and will teach you the Lolspeak
http://speaklolspeak.com/

Here are some examples:
Bakun-Cheezburger - A cheezburger enhanced with a few slices of crispy bacon. This is so good that eating over 400 of these will make kitteh tummies asplode from teh yummy goodness!
Balentymz dae - Valentines day

 Basement Cat - archenemy of Ceiling Cat

pawleetishuns - politicians

snoffee - (verb) unfortunate incident which can occur when laughing at a lolcat whilst drinking coffee. frequently results in the distribution of second-hand coffee onto computer monitor and keyboard.


sinkcat - A cat who loves to lie, sleep, sit, play or just be cyoot in da sinkz.

All in all, you gotta love the lolcats. Yes it's silly and sometimes you can't understand what the hell they are saying, but it's just pure fun. Nothing wrong with looking at cute pictures of cats doing silly things.

Spice and Wolf Season 2

Ahh.. and another show ends. To bad it was only 12 episodes.. But they did leave it open for a 3rd season.

Spice and Wolf is a light novel series that has been licensed by Yen Press, so hopefully I can read those soon ^^
The anime has been licensed by Funimation... hooray...

Spice and wolf

Spice and Wolf's story revolves around Kraft Lawrence, a twenty-five-year-old traveling merchant who peddles various goods from town to town to make a living in a stylized historical setting with European influences.[6] His main goal in life is to gather enough money to start his own shop, and he already has been traveling for seven years while gaining experience in the trade. One night when stopped at the town of Pasroe, he finds in his wagon a pagan wolf-deity girl named Holo who is over six hundred years old. She appears to be a fifteen-year-old girl, except for a wolf's tail and ears. She introduces herself as the town's goddess of harvest, who has kept it blessed with good harvests of wheat for many years. Despite having the responsibility to watch over the town, she wants to go back to her homeland in the north called Yoitsu; she believes the people have already forsaken her and that she has kept her promise to maintain the good harvests.

In the 2nd season, they are still traveling, making their way up north to her homeland but with many stops on the way. Lawrence is still a merchant that needs to make a profit. Throughout their travels, the two have had many ups and downs but she helps him by providing her wisdom which helps to increase his profits and get him out of jams

They also meet various new characters which are either friends or foes.

All in all I'm glad that we finally got to see Lawrence say "I love you" to Horo. She mad multiple attempts but the guy never realized. Poor Lawrence Craft may be a genius at business, but he sure is dense when it comes to other matters. Although she's afraid of falling in love with him, because she's aware that he'll leave her one day (she'll outlive him). What really strikes right at the heart is Horo’s inner conflict. Caught between her desire to return home and her blossoming feelings for Lawrence, she struggles to balance her wolf nature with her human side. Aww.. and they finally kissed too.

Come on there better be a Season 3!! They finally gave us some clues about her hometown and that it was possibly destroyed by a giant bear. I must see! And I still look forward to reading the novels since novels are usually better.
