You Ruined My Childhood

Yes. This is the best thing ever.

Kinda Ruined My Own Childhood, there, didn't I?

CRosberg — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 00:36:05 +0000

I guess I pretty much did. It was still an awesome party, and I had a tail. Two wins in my column.

I had a long day at work.

And this is how you can tell. I spent five minutes doing this to make @loudnate laugh:

I asked him if I could be Elvis Costello when I grew up. I'm guessing you can see who he'd want to be.

Then, I later realized we could both pull of these fine gentlemen as Hallowe'en costumes. Nate apparently has one lined up already...but that's ok. A girl can dream.

I think if our building ever caught fire, Nate would be the thing I grab first to make sure he makes it out. That and my phone, but insurance can get me a new phone. And he's awesome enough that I'd at least attempt to carry him down seven flights of stairs.*

*Who am I kidding here? I'd probably drop him on accident half way and let him roll down the rest.

I love my work.

Chuck Norris would kill this blog

I don't know how, but it got even better.

I'm having Chuck Norris's baby and other lies

CRosberg — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 18:33:14 +0000

AKA, this is why I'm dating Josh:

Josh sent this message to four friends of ours (two of whom are dating) and me. This is what followed:

That was pretty funny on it's own, at least to me. What happened next was the gem.

Josh's ending there was a little lame...but I'm having Chuck Norris's baby, as you can see. Look forward to him round-housing his way out of my uterus in four and a half months (because Chuck Norris is so potent his kid only needs half as long).

This hurts my FACE it's so wrong.

There's a great blog called Contrariwise that posts pictures and descriptions of literary tattoos. It usually makes me think, or kind of nostalgic. Some of them creep me out a little (like the woman who got the ashes of her dead cat into the ink for a "so it goes" tattoo with a picture of said dead cat), but by and large it's a cool site with some great tattoos.

And then I saw this.

A librarian got that on her arm because of Twilight. TWILIGHT WITH THE SPARKLY VAMPIRES AND THE OVERLY CONVELUTED YET UTTERLY CONVENIENT PLOT POINTS. Sigh.

I can't wait to see how many current teen girls name their kids Edward and Bella in a few years.

Annalee of Io9 YRMC

There's already a post here that was inspired bi Io9...it's this one. One of the chicks that writes over there (I don't care if you call me a sexist on that one, these two are mostly women that I would love to hang out with but her post here makes her a CHICK) and I honestly can't find the link to this post...but she put up that KILLER picture of the God of War II concept art and...said it was cool. Didn't recognize what it was, and while I know she doesn't work for Kotaku, that just frustrated me...women like her are the reason that I get laughed at in comic book stores.

That being said, Annalee (of Io9, keep up) wrote a post today that apparenly proves that the 1908 Tunguska Explosion Was A Comet.

This makes me really sad. Tunguska was one of those things that I would find the National Geographic issue on the shelves in the den at the house I grew up in and look through those photos over and over again...because they were just so WEIRD. Nothing could explain it. There were all these THEORIES but nothing was for sure. And I loved it! It was a mystery of such epic proportions that my sugar and asthma medication fueled imagination high would go almost ANYWHERE. That was the best part. And now...it could be gone.

Science RUINS things for me. WHY WON'T YOU LET ME KEEP MY MYSTERIES, SCIENCE? Why does science hate happiness?

I can't tell if this is a YRMC or not

Seriously. I just don't know. In case you didn't see "Zack Morris" on "Late Night" with "Jimmy Fallon," here it is.

I really don't know what to say here. Part of my (the YRMC part) is saying NONONONONONONO and plugging its ears and hiding in the back bottom part of the closet where you have those zoomba pants your mom made you when you saw AC Slater wearing them THE FIRST TIME HE WAS ON TV. And part of me knows this will be AWESOME.

Dragonball Sequel, or Ruining My Childhood Redux

CRosberg — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 19:38:54 +0000

James Marsters just let the world know that there will be a Dragonball Evolution sequel. You know what makes this worse? That Marsters isn't just ruining my anime-infused teen years any more, oh no. He (or rather the producers of this HORRIFIC film) are no ruining all parts of my life. I can no longer enjoy Billy Idol songs. Thanks.

is the same guy as:

which has now ruined this for me:

Bonus points: if anyone can name the Buffy episode where Spike claims to have met and inspired Billy Idol, I will give you a cupcake.

Daily YRMC

So...this one's new.

I'll admit to having watched both Dragon Ball and it's sequel/sister series Dragon Ball Z when I was younger and Toonami on Cartoon Network didn't make me weep. And it was on in the afternoon so it couldn't play Cowboy BeBop because kids would OF COURSE start running around pretending they had cybernetic arms and knew jeet kun do. And yes, Toonami does make me weep big fat tears now when I do see it, which means when I crash at my parents' house and can't sleep late enough at night that it's kinda sad. Because I miss the days when Gundam (not Gundam Wing, but the ORIGINAL Gundam) and the Knights of the Zodiac were on EVERY DAY and I could watch Outlaw Star to my heart's content and do my French homework while eating something I knew I shouldn't have. And my thirteen-year-old self was happy.

But that's besides the point. Dragon Ball Evolutionhit theaters on my birthday over a week ago (the 10th, for those of you who don't know...thanks for the cards). I haven't seen it yet, but judging by the cast and the fact that it is NOT A CARTOON I'm guessing it won't be as awesome tediously full of power-ups awesome as the cartoon was. Because there is NOTHING BETTER than watching a weird, 'roids-pumped dude scream that he's REACHING LEVEL GOOGLEPLEX and GONNA BE A SUPER SEIYAN SAYAJIN SAIYAN (again) and then his hair goes all blond and 'splodey and it's fun.

Yes, I know it's inane and kinda stupid, but the show is just fun. There's no reason to say otherwise, even if it were to protect my reputation. But this is just hilarious.

Thanks to I09

The French have held a funeral for Goku because us stupid Americans ruined it.

Seriously. I can't make this stuff up. Just look at the LOSS on those poor Frenchboy's faces. What can we do to make them feel better? Maybe we should start making YRMC trophies...whoever cries the most wins?
