Are You a 90's Kid?

I found this on myspace and it was an amusing end to a very blah and depressing week I've had...


Just because you were born in '97 doesn't mean you're a 90's kid. It's not like you could remember the original Simpsons. I am sorry but three conscious years of the 90's just wont cut it.


You're a 90's kid if:

You can finish this  Ice Ice _______

You remember watching:
Doug
Ren & Stimpy
Pinky and the Brain
AAAAAAAH Real Monsters!

You remember:
TGIF
Step by Step
Family Matters
Dinosaurs
Boy Meets World.

You remember when it was actually worth getting up early
on a Saturday to watch cartoons.

You got super excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer ****at school.

You remember reading "Goosebumps"

You took plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school.

You still get the urge to say "NOT" after (almost) every sentence . . . not

when everyhting was settled by:
rock paper scissors or
bubble gum bubble gum in a dish or
daddy had a donkey inky binky bonky. (Ours was Down, Down Baby)

when cops and robbers was a daily activity.

when we played Hide and go seek until our legs grew numb.

when we used to obey our parents

You used to listen to the radio all day long just to record your FAVORITE song of ALL time.

"Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?" was both a game and a TV game show.

Captain Planet. He's a Hero.

You knew that Kimberly, the pink ranger, and Tommy, the green ranger, were meant to be together.

You remember when Super Nintendos and Sega Genisis became popular.

You always wanted to send in a tape to America's Funniest Home Videos . . . but never taped anything funny.

You remember watching Home Alone 1, 2 , and 3 . . . and tried to pull the pranks on "intruders"

You remember watching:
The Magic School Bus
Wishbone
Reading Rainbow on PBS.

You remember when Yo-Yos were cool.

You remember those Where's Waldo books.

You remember eating Warheads.

You remember watching:
the 1st Batman
Aladdin
Ninja Turtles
3 Ninjas movies.

You remember Ring Pops.

You remember drinking Surge, and Tang.

If you remember when every thing was "da BOMB!"

When they made the new lunchables so that you could make pizza AND tacos.

You remember boom boxes vs. cd players.

Making those little paper fortune cookie things, and then predicting your life with them.

You played and/or collected "Pogs"

You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet, or Nano and brought it everywhere.

Furbies.

You haven't always had a computer and it was cool to have the internet.

And Windows 95 was the best.

You watched the original cartoons of Rugrats, Power Rangers, and Ninja Turtles.

Michael Jordan was a king.

YIKES pencils and erasers were the stuff!

All your school supplies were "Lisa Frank" brand.

You remember when the new Beanie Babies and Talking Elmo were always sold out.

You collected those Beanie Babies.

Carebears.

Gak was the coolest stuff invented.

Lambchop's song never ended.

The old dollar bills.

Silver dollars, which were cool to have.

You remember a time before the WB.

You collected all the Troll dolls.

If you even know what an original walkman is.

You remember wanting to sit on the orange Nickelodeon couch.

You've gotten creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"

You know the Macarena by heart.

"Talk to the hand" . . . enough said

You always said, "Then why don't you marry it!"

You went to McDonald's to play in the playplace.

You remember playing on merry go rounds at the playground.

Before the MySpace frenzy . . .

Before the Internet & text messaging .

Before Sidekicks & iPods . .

Before MIKE JONES .

Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX . .

Before Spongebob .

Back when you put off the 5 hours of homework you had every night.

When light up sneakers were cool.

When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.

When gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing.

When we recorded stuff on VCRs.

When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off of our walkman.

When checking out drawing books and that one book about the rainbow fish from the library was THE cool thing to do.

You had slap braclets!

Way back.

Before we realized all this would eventually disappear.

Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much!!

Things I've Realized In the Past Week...

First of all thanks for all the birthday wishes, Okay, I'm almost a month late on it, but hey I said it and I really appreciated everyone of them. Now on with the things I've realized.

  • I cannot find a new Club Pogo 3 month subscription card at KMart, so I can't use the site after May 14th 2007.
  • Dustin Diamond (Screech) is a complete dumbass.
  • John Edwards has some gorgeous hair.
  • Reading The Wire recaps at televisionwithoutpity.com can really cheer me up when I'm sad.
  • My cable provider erased this Episode 5 of the The Tudors even though it's supposed to be there until September.
  • Watching Oprah can really depress me sometimes
  • I can't watch any show now with people getting married, pregnant, or having children (includes soaps) because it depresses me too much.
  • The VCR in my DVD recorder doesn't work properly and I have no money to buy a new one.
  • I should probably answer that message Cindy sent me on Myspace, so she doesn't think I'm a stupid jackass.
  • I should really clean my room pronto
  • Being alone sucks majorly.
  • Staying awake for 38 hours straight because you cannot get to sleep is really not good for you.
  • Chicago Hope comes on Discovery Health at 5AM and 8AM.
  • Alec Baldwin and Stacy Keach have really gained a lot of weight.
  • If I have to watch Dora the Explorer or Little Bear with Jessica again, I'm going to scream.
  • Chamomile and lavender lotion does not help you sleep even if they swear it on the bottle.
  • George W. Bush still looks like a Keebler elf.
  • Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip is coming back on NBC May 24th 2007.
  • God Bless Roger Ebert!!!!
  • The View is going to be back to it's bland self when Rosie O'Donnell leaves in June.
  • Sometimes looking on people's MySpace pages is very upsetting.
  • Sometimes I feel like the song "Mr. Cellophane" is written about me.

Happy Birthday to Me!

  • Shockingly another blog from Filmspot

So as I celebrate my 26th birthday today (and yet for some reason feel really old ) I'd really only want one thing (okay I want 2 things but since Dominic West ain't breaking up with his rich girlfriend who he had a baby daughter with last year, that one's not happening. ). Anyway, that one thing is that tv.com actually work properly for 5 days straight. See I'm not even talking forever, just 5 days.

It seems today all my retired guides came back and I know what three of them are, but the other two I have no idea. Now, I'm thrilled that the 2 show guides I had to work on twice to get their editorship finally show up with me being an editor, but now I have to re-retire myself for the guides I don't edit anymore.

I doubt I'm going to do anything special for my birthday. Since I'm in a blah mood, I feel I may watch some musicals to cheer me up. Since I watched "Chicago" the other night, I think I'll watch Rent and Into the Woods.

Special thanks to Ang (KFCgravy), for being the first to wish me a Happy Birthday on my Myspace page.

Now, I'm off to retire from those guides I know about and try to discover what the other 2 are.

Hey with all this blogging at FilmSpot, maybe I'll finally make it to Level 2. It's actually quite nice over here. I should add some movies to my profile.

Fanjaya or Banjaya??

  • This blog is from FilmSpot because I could not get my tv.com blog to blog

First the definitions:

FANJAYA: One who believes that Sanjaya Malakar truly should be the next American Idol because of his singing talent and good looks. Nothing can stop them from achieving their dream to make it a reality.

Sanjaya Malakar

SEE ALSO: Ashley Ferl

Ashley Ferl'

BANJAYA: One who cannot believe Sanjaya Malakar is still in the American Idol competiton and normally votes against him. May also still be in shock he made it to the Hollywood round. Does not believe Sanjaya's "singing" got him this far and believes it's only the hair.

S's Pony Hawk

Okay, so I'm a Banjaya through and through. Seriously, this has gone far enough. It's sad, but part of me thinks maybe Sanjaya should win it all just to prove that "American Idol" has turned into a joke. Even Simon Cowell has reportedly threatened to leave the show if Sanjaya wins it all. I personally don't think he's even cute, but I am almost a 26 year old woman, so maybe that's part of it.

Now, I don't hate the Fanjayas of the world. They have the right to like who they want, I just don't have to agree with them. Ooooooh it's just like politics.

I'm thinking of starting a petition called FREE SANJAYA'S HAIR because no hair deserves to be put through this...

FREE SANJAYA'S HAIR

In tv.com news:

I really hope the CPs start running soon, since I haven't gotten a CP update since Tuesday, March 27th. If the points had run correctly, I would have gotten a new guide. However, I submitted half the items on Monday and had to wait to get a new season approved, so I couldn't add the rest of the missing eps until Tuesday. Thus it now says I have only 66 points on the guide when I should have about 106 +.  I'm pretty much running out of items to add on the guide. I'm not adding anything to any editorless guides until the CPs actually run "normally".

Where's Roxie?

Okay, so you found her.


So where have I been. Actually, I asked myself that last week when my profile would not load at all for about 4 days. Even missribs couldn't see it for some reason. She got an engineer on it, and here I am. Come on admit it, you totally enjoyed the 100 Greatest Films that Make you Cheer for the past 9 months. I thought I'd update it BEFORE the new AFI list comes out.

As for where, I've actually been. I didn't disappear or anything. Well, in late September my computer officially decided to die, mainly because my RAM had basically been depleated. It's hard to do much with 256. Now considering I have no job now (although I still have to watch my cousin after school her B**** of a mother things she doesn't have to pay me, but that's a blog for another day), I had no way to take it and it get fixed. Therefore, I had to have my cousin do it. Lucky for me, he found the time to do and actually wanted to do it. I guess I caught him in a good mood. Maybe he felt bad because he lost my CD player somewhere, I don't know. It seemed like it took forever, but it was fixed. I actually returned back here in December, but basically only fixed my guides, I didn't blog, blop, and rarely posted anything, maybe because I've been depressed. Now, in the time of my absence, I lost a few guides, but if it really bothered me, I wouldn't have come back.

Now onto, recent tv.com happenings. The Alert PM thing yesterday was really weird. I got about 18 of them, mostly for things I already edit or things I was removed from because I couldn't access my queue for over a month. I only got one for a show I was actually supposed to receive on for. My fave is that I got a PM for editing a Person that I only have 14 points on her guide. You'd have to almost triple it for me to be her editor. I hope they get that fixed soon. Up until yesterday, I got about 20 of those PMs but none of them even listed what I was supposed to be editor for they just said "You've been made editor at tv.com". Really, PM of what, where you too tired to tell me what I edit?

Please PETA find a way to release the thing on Sanjaya's head. It needs to be free! Well, I'm off to do my Pogo challenges for the week. Yay, it's personal challenge week, so I can work on my 2003 badge book. I need to go to K-Mart and buy another 3 month subscription since that's the only way to join without having a credit card.

Random Thought: Now when Bush speaks about Iraq, he totally sounds like the teacher on "Charlie Brown" to me.


Hope to see ya, around soon!I'll try to make a blog with pictures soon. Right now my AOL won't let me copy/paste. Stupid AOL VR Beta. ~Heather


R.I.P. Drea. Each comment you left on my blog gave me a smile and I'll treasure each you gave me.

Streets of Baltimore

I've heard many versions of "The Streets of Baltimore" and this one is my favorite so far. I just happened to catch this the other day on my Music Choice Adult Alternative channel and I am so glad that I did. It was my first chance to hear The Little Willies and I think I am going to have to buy their album after hearing just this song.

Richard Julian's vocals combined with Norah Jones doing backup on this song is simply divine. It is one of the best songs I've heard in a long while. I cannot wait to hear more from these guys after just hearing this song!

Will the Circle Be Unbroken
""
"Will the Circle Be Unbroken" to me is one of the best songs I have ever heard. Written in 1907, the song was then popularized by the Carter family when they recorded a variation of the song called "Can The Circle Be Unbroken" in 1935, which became a favorite at the Grand Ole Opry.

To me, this version by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is the best. The combination of Roy Acuff, Johnny Cash, Ricky Skaggs, Levon Helm (The Band), and Emmylou Harris singing with NGDB on the song is so beautiful. This is one song I can listen to over and over and never get tired of it's wonderful collaboration and styling.

Artist Review

Josh Turner Country
""
From the moment I heard Josh Turner's deep baritone voice, I knew he would become a star. His rich baritone (almost bass) can make anyone stop and listen to what he has to sing or say. Josh is one of the few artist nowadays, who is attempting to bring country back to what it was in the late 1980's and early 1990's. His voice is very reminiscent of Randy Travis and his songs send clear messages about how he truly feels.

His song "Long Black Train" introduced him to the world and showed just how brilliant a writer and singer he is. However, he hit pay dirt with his recording of the song "Your Man". What woman could not melt hearing him sing about wanting to be your only one.

I hope and pray that Josh has some longviety in this business, because he definitely has a fan here.

How Can I Help You Say Goodbye

Every time I hear this song, it makes me cry but in a good way. This song is so moving and the way Patty sings it, you can tell she is actually crying in it, as she said once in an interview. The powerful message of the song is one that would make even the hardest of hearts cry. This is definitely one of Patty's best songs that she has recorded and I never grow tired of hearing it.
