Afishionados,
I’m well on my way to creating another category here on OFAL. Another photo I spotted while on way to dinner tonight. Something’s amiss, here…
Afishionados,
Well, just another exciting day for me today. You know, the usual stuff: wake up early, drive to school, attend class, drive to Indiana, hang out with Missy Higgins again… Yep, just the usual for me.
I don’t think I look half as retarded in this photo as I do in my first photo with Missy. Of course, I didn’t have to drive five hours this time to see her, either, so I wasn’t nearly as tired as before. Still, I think I rarely take a good (or even decent) photo, but I think this one came out pretty well. Plus, Missy is the attractive one in the picture, and everyone’s eyes will be focused on her and not me, anyway. Besides, her expression in this photo is positively adorable.
Missy’s traveling with two other bands right now and her spring tour debuted in Indianapolis, Indiana tonight. Thankfully, Missy got to play first in the queue. Unfortunately, the other two bands had to play as well, so her show was much shorter than the last five times I’ve seen her. I expected this going in, but her performance, as always, was top notch.
Immediately upon finishing her act, Missy headed straight to her huge, black tour bus. A small group of us had to pry her (nicely, of course) from the bus and beg her to sign autographs and take photos. I think there were only 6 or 7 of us altogether. Obviously I don’t know Missy personally (despite my best efforts and six concerts later ;-)) but she still comes across as very sweet, innocent, caring, well-rounded, and extremely down-to-earth person. She is also one of the most shy people that I have ever met. Missy wasn’t upset or mad or anything about the guy knocking on the bus’ glass and asking her to come out (and no, it wasn’t me that did that).
Unlike the concert in October, I worked up enough courage to actually say more than two words to her. I told Missy that she was my favorite musician ever and that I loved her music. I also thanked her for touring the USA and confessed that I’ve driven to see her in concert each and every time that she visits. Missy simply smiled, waved to me, and said, “Well, see you the next time, then!” And with that, she climbed back aboard her bus and was gone.
Afishionados,
Whilst in search of bamboo for a 3D project, I happened upon this at a floral outlet store:
Afishionados,
Target gift cards specify “Ages 1½+” in the lower right-hand corner. And, honestly, what child wouldn’t want a nice plastic gift card in place of a toy? Remember, your kids are never too young to start being a part of corporate greed!
Afishionados,
I received in the mail today one of the coolest toys in existence: the Master Chief from Halo 3. Featured by McFarlane toys, the detail on such a small figurine is rather stunning.
Not only is the Master Chief meticulously detailed down to the finest scratches and dents, he’s also very posable.
The Master Chief does have a small cursing problem, though, and enjoys quoting lines from famous movies. I think he has a Napoleon complex because he is only 6 inches tall.
You can’t make fun of me for playing with dolls action figures either, because all the cool kids are doing it.
Afishionados,
Posting about your pets is typically a blogging “no-no”, but I’ve been trying for months to capture my cat Jinx’s “retard look” and share it. Jinx gets this look quite often, but whenever I go to take a photo with my iPhone he runs away because sexy looking gadgets scare him. And because he’s retarded.
I managed to sneak up on him after he was done licking himself and sort of captured it as best I could. Typically, his jaw hangs down a lot more, like Carl from Slingblade, but he bolted moments after I snapped this shot. And now that I think about it, his look isn’t too far off from President Bush’s “thinking face”. Except I think Jinx actually gets a thought in his brain once in a while. And probably licks himself a lot less than Dubya, too.
Afishionados,
Don’t get confused. This ain’t your run-of-the-mill cheap plastic shit. It’s elegant.
Afishionados,
There are many of you out there bitching about the Cleveland Indians mascot being racist. I’ve even gotten comments about it here on my own blog, but I’ve deleted them and decided to do this post because:
1. The Cleveland Indians are awesome, even if they did lose to the Boston Red Sox. I don’t give a shit what you say.
2. For some of you, your fucking team is goddamn laundry.
3. You are retarded.
Therefore, I’ve made my own goddamn team. Since several of you have bitched, moaned, whined, and cried that there’s an abundance of professional sports teams that are “racist”, I’ve decided to pick on Whitey. That’s right, the crackers are gettin’ their own racist team. Suck it up.
The new team is the Honkies. And we bring our own bats. Don’t come crying to us about racist sports teams, because we’ll just smack you upside your ignorant head. We haven’t settled on a city yet, but are open to suggestions.
There are much bigger and much more important problems in the world than “racist” sports teams, so please do the world a favor and just shut the fuck up.
Afishionados,
Had to swing by the mall today and while I was there I spotted this:
This is what’s wrong with society today. I can’t believe someone would actually dress like this in public. Don’t they realize how embarrassing it would be? I mean, honestly, who wears two necklaces at once?
