Prozzäk was really 'kewl' in the late nineties with its state-of-the-art animation and highlights on futuristic information technology trends, such as ICQ and websites (www.nevergetoveryou.com) I had no idea they were "still around". Remember the "Incoming Contact," "User is Online," and all the UH OH's?!?
I'm kind of disappointed that www.nevergetoveryou.com isn't an actual site anymore. I think they might have only been popular in Canada though, I'm not sure. However, Prozac is quite popular everywhere ;)

My Neighbour Totoro!
My Neighbour Totoro was the beloved animated film of our childhood.
Who didn't want to get to school on the cat bus? I even had dreams about it.
I started working on Totoro at about 10 am this morning and I've just finished at 9 pm. It wasn't exactly constant work, but pretty close. I listened to the audio book for Lunar Park by Bret Easton Ellis on my laptop while working. I also stopped for some Mika interview videos on Youtube, chatting, browsing, showering, one popcorn break and dinner.
I contemplated about whether or not I should take the time to make arms because I was pretty tired of crocheting by then. My dad thought its tummy was a giant mouth. My parents didn't think it needed arms until I showed them the original and they agreed that it would probably look more complete. I agree. Otherwise, it was kind of like a ball with ears and a tail.
I kind of made it up as I went along. I made a lot of mistakes but I didn't correct them because I figured it was just a prototype and they wouldn't be too visible. Otherwise, I made the other arm, eye, or ear the same way, so it'd be intentional :]
It has little claws, which were very visible in the cartoon. These whiskers are movable, unlike the way I usually sew them onto its face.
It bears a striking resemblance to Catbert.
In fact, the real life totoro is said to be the chinchilla and I wanted one for the longest time.

Ring Ring
I've had Life in Cartoon Motion by Mika for some time and I never really got into it until late in the middle of the night. I haven't been sleeping properly for over a month so I lie in bed awake and listen to my iPod. Playing solitaire in the dark used to work because it'd get my eyes sore, but I think they've adapted since I've been trying that every night and I'll bet I've damaged them. Ring Ring is definitely my favourite song by far, so I wonder why he released it as a 'bonus track'.

A Sorta Fairytale

In Response to Pastafarians...
I don't know if I like the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster so much. There's something that bothers me about it. I still think I favour the Church of Hot Addiction. The music video gets really strange around the end, so you should click on the link and download the track I've uploaded for you.
Cobra Starship is probably best known for their catchy song, "Snakes on a Plane (Bring It)", which was not written or set to the film, Snakes on a Plane. My favourite part in the entire song is by Travis McCoy from Gym Class Heroes:
Ladies and gentlemen,
These snakes is slitherin'
With dollar signs in they eyes
With tongues so reptilians
This industry's venomous
With cold-blooded sentiments
No need for nervousness
It's just a little turbulence
They ended up making a music video for it with appearances by Samuel L. Jackson and Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy.
