what

Dora The Explorer's Broadway show has rotted what's left of my brain.
:(

I hate Dora and all that she explores.

I hate the way she barks, "SAY ________" (whatever the word of the day is)

I never watched shit like that when I was a kid. I think it's making kids dumber.

lol

Dude, it's so much worse live.

On the bright side, I did learn a few words in spanish.
Nothing helpful though.

On the not so bright side, the girl that played the frog stomped on my hands while I was putting her feet on and bent my middle finger in a very unnatural position.
And I can't get those stupid songs out of my head.

I can't find my teddy bear, I can't find my teddy bear!
I've looked and I've looked all around everywhere!

That song is so much more entertaining when you replace "teddy bear" with "underwear".

And Baby Jaguar was in the show, and he/she (it's supposed to be a he, but it was a girl in the costume) did talk!
Baby Jaguar is adorable!!!!

:x

Here's the cast.
I dressed the iguana and the robot from this shot.

See?
Baby Jaguar is cute!

They made me take Spanish in high school because they said it was "unfair" for me to take French. So I took Spanish and Latin and Italian after school and it was all the same damn thing, same pattern, it's just Latin with different accents.

I tested out of Spanish in college and became "the one who can tell you what those people were saying because they assumed she didn't know". Or at least, that's what my mom believes I am. I understand it but I refuse to speak it myself because I think it's obnoxious when people do that in restaurants and stuff.

So I don't need Dora and her shit.

Fun fact- I was hired by my university to teach remedial French. Only one remedial French student ever actually showed up, and I ended up teaching the remedial Spanish people who came instead. Fantastic.

However, my high school spanish classes were an adventure and I wouldn't trade them for anything.

Edit: Dora looks like a real go-getter there!

I never learned spanish, I stuck with german.
French was unfair because you knew French? Was that it?

Yeah Dora's butt was too big for her shorts, it was fun watching her climb up and down the ladder at the beginning of the show.

Oh, and Boots the monkey is the ONLY straight guy in the cast.
We bonded over PBR.

Poor Boots.

Yeah, because I have a French name and a French family (although you'd never know it to look at/hear them), I couldn't take French. It was a stupid rule, I knew lots of Hispanic kids who couldn't speak Spanish, who was to say I was any different?

Hahah I think you could sue for that now.
That is pretty ridiculous.
I guess I should be glad my name had been changed twice before high school, or else I may have been banned from german as well!
I had no clue that schools do that kind of thing!

Boots was a good sport, there were some games that all the men (cast and crew, homo and hetero) played backstage. All of which would be considered sexual harrassment anywhere else but the theatre. One was "Bean Dip", a guy would tell another guy that they wanted to talk and when they got close enough they'd slap each other's nipples. Someone made mention that it was sexual harrassment, and they said they didn't report sexual harrassment, they graded it.
C- for a butt slap without a cupped hand and a tushy squeeze.
Boots was a VERY good sport mainly because whenever guys wore a tail in the show (it was attached in a very uncomfortable elastic jockstrap contraption that was said to cut off circulation to a man's favorite and most sensitive body parts), someone would walk behind them and pull the tail, thus dislodging and squeezing said sensitive squishies.

I'm the map! I'm the map!
I'm the map!
I'm the map!
I'm the map!

I dressed the map too!

Was it only one show?

Nope, 3 days, 4 shows a day.

How is Nickelodeon? On a scale compared to Disney.

Theatre people are wonderful, except for the couple of guys who always try to sleep their way through a cast.

lawl @ orange cat w/ blue face

What the fuck is wrong with him

Furries :x

The Nickelodeon people are MUCH better than Disney.
And they tip.

That's a fox, Swiper the Fox to be exact.
He's the bad guy.

Swiper, no Swiping
Swiper, no Swiping
Swiper, no Swiping

lol

The faces of the kids in the front row when Swiper came out were one of the best things about the show.
One girl was screaming and crying everytime he came onstage.

I watched a lot of Dora with my niece. That and blues clues.

I used to watch Hey Gabba Gabba, but that wore thin quick.

We didn't get cable when I was a kid, so insead of watching children's television, I grew up on b-movies and my neighbor's video tapes of Mystery Science Theater. No child should have to watch Manos.

My dog likes watching PBS kids. If I change the channel she goes apeshit.

She likes Clifford, Curious George, Martha Speaks and sometimes Sesame Street. Sid the Science Kid freaks her out.

I just found out my uncle has kidney and possibly lung cancer.
:(
He didn't even smoke and lived a very healthy life.
He's having his kidney removed Thursday and they're going to start chemo as soon as he heals from the surgery.

I'm sorry. I hate cancer so much.

Hope he does okay.

I hate it too.
Only one person in my family has actually died from it (my biological father, but pneumonia was what truly did him in), but nearly all my family has had it.
Until Uncle Bernie, I was the last person to deal with it.

He had been complaining that his hip hurt and eventually couldn't even sit down. He had to lay down in the backseat of the car. When the doctors looked at it they found that his kidney was grossly enlarged. This was just last week, I'm glad they're at least acting quickly.

Thank you Kitsa.

That's awful, I hope he'll be fine :(

Thanks Rankeri.
I was really hoping for a pretty uneventful week.

My whole family's had it too. Sucks.

Stupid cancer.
Of all the things I want to kill, that one's totally stayed at the top of my list.

And here I thought I had a sick collection.

I do remember the elephant genius, heh.

Woah, a kid? That's crazzzzy.

hahaha allow my Superior Gringa Translation Ability to assist

often "having" a year means the same as "being" a year for english speakers. I think he's saying this is his one year anniversary?

Thanks for the corrections, my english is a little bit rusty :(

DeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeDeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Your english is fine, it was a misunderstanding.

There's Pub Lover!

Damn, I thought you'd been toe tagged with acute alcohol poisoning somewhere over there, Pub.

im hunngggrrrryyyyy

I just made dinner. I roasted chicken tenderloins until they were soft, then sauteed them in butter, white wine, mushrooms and garlic. We had long-grain brown rice and baby lima beans and fought over what kind of outdoor enclosure to make for the dog.

Sounds good kind of :O I've been wanting battered and fried chicken breasts with gravy and mashed potatoes (also with gravy).

dericious :(

im prolly gonna have broccoli and rice though

I GOT SOME GRAVY FOR YOU.

AND I'VE GOT BATTERED BREASTS.

I GOT SOME BATTER FOR YOU.

I heard today that New Zealand have this law where if you're suspected of breaking copyright law three times (i.e. downloading shit) you can be removed from the internet. It's a similar deal to something they tried to introduce in the UK a while back.

Maybe that's what happened to pub-lover and right now he's breaking the law to tell us he's not dead.

I imagine is too busy watering Koala Bears and being a hero.

Removed from the internet, huh? He'd probably be thrilled.

EVERYTHING EVERYTHING EVERYTHING EVERYTHING

Bobby McFerrin is going to be performing here.

Unemployed, need money.

Whatever.

female co-worker, regarding a hole in her jeans, "my hole got bigger."
my response, "what, did you have a baby or something?"
"no, nasty, i mean the one in my pants."
"so do i."

i don't like getting off work as the sun is coming up.

That's sexual harassment. I hope you like JAIL.

Damnit my bank has now charged me about 130 clams just for writing a bad cheque. Fuck you Natwest.

They were going to add another £56 on top of that but I phoned them up and told them to stop being dicks.

I think I'm going to join the Kidney Walk next month

I'm trying to decide what shitty food option to choose for lunch before I have to go back out to another appointment.

What I'd really like to do is eat a whole box of Petit Ecolier cookies (the ones that are a slab of chocolate with token cookie underneath), but that's probably not a great idea.

Cookies sound good.
It's tuna for me today.

Oh crap. I just realized I forgot a lunch all together.

I do two different walks. It's rather pleasant and sometimes fun even.

I've never done one before, but my friend (who's mother has been going through the same thing my uncle is) invited me to join her and her sister for the walk. I figure it could be a nice thing to do.

YOU CAN JUST KISS OFF INTO THE AIR.

lol i was obsessed with daddy-o and american music for a while :(

You were born too late and I was born too soon, and everytime i look at that ugly mooooooon, it reminds me of YOU. It reminds me of you.

AMERICA IS THE BEST
USA USA USA USA

I had very good luck today. My clothes all look like shit because I've had them forever. So I went to a store and long story short the bargain racks are a little emptier and I walked away with a bunch of stuff for under $15 total.

Good thing I don't give a fuck about "last season".

I can't wait until tomorrow, in good ol' columbus it's going to be 50 DEGREES OUT!!! Shit the bed, I was getting tired of this weather it's so last season.
