Mood Jam

Yoko put up a link on her blog that one of her friends at CMU created, called MoodJam. You basically use colors, and combinations of stripes of colors to indicate what mood you're in. It's pretty cool.

You can find out what mood I'm in by clicking on the link called "My Mood" in the Must See! section of my blog. Or click on My Mood . Check it out!

Commercials II

I was watching a commercial today (duh, inevitable when you lounge in front of the TV) of a Toyota ad in which the dad & son are sitting in the two front seats. The father is advising the son on the how to-s of the new car, and the son is constantly being amazed by the new features that the car has. Then the father gets irritated and finally blurts out, "It's not like you just press a magic button and you're off." haha. The son, takes a look at the location of the ignition, and finds a Button (Press to start engine). And the father kicks his kid out of the car. hahah. Too funny.

Anyway, so, as I tried to search for that particular commercial, I find these. Check them out if you have time. Some of them don't have any volume, but you get the idea. Pretty creative. That's what I enjoy about the commercials. Not that they brain wash me, even though, I now am "okay" with eating McDonalds, I believe all because of the commercials focusing their attention not on kids, but on young adults, and making McD's fun & cool, but that's besides the point. I enjoy the creativity, not the deception.

80s & 90s After School TV

One of my friends had written an excerpt from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song as her status note, and I had to complete the Entire song on her wall. You can't just say a line from that song, and leave it at that.

If at any point in time a line from that song is said aloud, the ensuing lines must be completed for personal satisfaction. As I was writing the rest of the song:

I was chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool

shooting some b-ball outside of the school,
when a couple of guys who were up to no good,
starting making trouble in my neighborhood.
i got in one little fight,
my mom got scared,
She said you're moving with your aunty and uncle in bel air.
I whistled for a cab, and when it came near, the license plate said fresh,
and in a dice in a mere,
If I didn't know anything?
I thought this cab was weird ?
I said forget yo home the bel air.

I pulled up to the house around 7 or 8 and
I yelled to the cabbie yo homie smell you later,
looked my kingdom I was finally there,
to sit on my throne as the prince of bel air.
(then you have to do the little foot slide thing as you act out the song, too!)

I probably don't have all the words right, as usual (probably in more places than just the ?ed lines) but oh well, everyone knows the jist of the song..

I remember coming home by 3.45 racing & fighting my sister for the remote, then once the remote was clearly in someone's possession we'd go to the kitchen to whip up some snack (usually Honey nut cheerios) and then both watch the channel we would have used the remote we were fighting for to watch:
