Law and Order

After my last awkward humiliation post 3 weeks ago, I can't believe I almost forgot to blog again this week!

This week's episode of Community was a new level of awesome reminding me how much I loved Law & Order.
So, here are some random facts about Law & Order:

The distinctive typeface used for all titles, credits, and on-screen "scene change" cards, for "Law & Order" and all of its spin-offs, is named "Friz Quadrata." The typeface used for "Starring" and "Created By" in the opening credits, the lone exception, is Eurostile

The "thunk-thunk" sound effect used in between scenes was created by combining close to a dozen sounds, including that of a group of monks stamping on a floor. The sound is intended to be reminiscent of both a jurist's gavel, and a jail cell door slamming.

This awesome thing happened :


When the show began airing in re-runs on TNT, new digital technology was used to insert "product placements" (paid appearances of name-brand products) into the show. The easiest to spot is for Coca-Cola; any time you see a Coke can sitting on a desk, it has been added digitally.

Everyone has been on that show!


That's enough for now,

Here Comes the Rain Again

Hey Friends!

I hope you had a great weekend! My weekend involved shopping for new glasses and eating lots of food with great friends :) Waffles with fresh fruit? Yes. Steak on a charcoal grill? Also yes. But right now, all I want to do is curl up on the couch and listen to the rain fall - that is, NOT go outside in the rain. Thanks Weather for making it rain every day this week! That means I will likely have this song stuck in my head for the whole week:



Time to bust out those rain boots! Have an excellent week :)

Memories

Hello!

So last night, I'm not quite sure how it happened, but I took a little trip down memory lane via youtube.  Mostly looking at the different intros to the awesome shows that I used to watch as a kid.  I'd like to take that time to remind you guys of some of the best TV shows of our childhoods.  

Take Part! I'm pretty sure this show has a direct influence on why I'm an early childhood educator.  This was one of my favourite shows EVER! Come home from a long day of boring school and make kick ass puppets of old margarine containers! Come on! 

PJ Katie's Farm! This show was by no means a good show.  I think I watched it because I thought "Hey Katie kind of sounds like Kathy, maybe one day I could be a PJ".  It breaks my heart that YTV doesn't exist anymore and that my dreams of being a PJ can never be real.

LAMB-F-ING-CHOP'S PLAY ALONG! Not enough good things can be said about this show.  Not only did it occupy us all as children but it taught us things like "Betchas!" and "The Song that Never Ends" which gave us HOURS of torturing our parents.  Thank you Shari Lewis for hours of my childhood entertainment.

Have a good week, take a trip down memory lane cause it's more fun than doing school or work!

Diana

Soooo Diana forgot to blog and here is a "humiliation" post for her.  It's not so much humiliating as it is random facts.


Here is what happens when you google "Diana"


Wiki definition: In Roman mythology, Diana (lt. "heavenly" or "divine") was the goddess of the hunt and moon and birthing, being associated with wild animals and woodland, and having the power to talk to and control animals.


Coincidence that she has a whole bunch of birds and tries to get them to listen to her? I think not.

Here is what happens when you move on over to the images section.  Now I'll admit that this was not the first picture that came up (Princess Diana?, Diana Ross? Who cares!) but it is the most important Diana:

We all know and love this lovely "Lady Diana.

Finally here is what happens when you youtube "Diana"

A woman named Diana Garland will give you your horoscope for an entire year! 

Alright ladies and gents, I'm out. Also I over used quotation marks a whole lot in this post so feel free to drink or dance every time I used them.

Pirates of the Caribbean

Hey Friends!

I have an announcement to make. It's a pretty big one. I'm not really supposed to tell anyone. Kathy's going to kill me if she finds out I blogged about this! But I must tell someone. So, Kathy went to Disney World in Florida a little while ago and she met a cute pirate actor. She said it was love at first "Ahoy!", but Diana and I were skeptical about the whole thing. We told her it was a bad idea to keep in contact with him and that this romance would surely end in shipwreck. But she didn't listen to us and couldn't help falling for his his eye patch and stick leg. Now for the big announcement: Kathy and Jack (the pirate) are sailing away together!! Their ship leaves in one month, and we have no idea how to convince her not to go :S 











APRIL FOOLS! Bet you thought that was true. Got you real good, I'm sure :)

Happy April Fool's Day!
Vanessa
