Tracey's Triangle: The Wonderful Thing about Tigger is he's packed and holdin'

I just saw [back in August when I had written this and when the Bluray was released] a commercial for the Tigger Movie and the background song was Third Eye Blind's Semi Charmed Life.
Granted you could not hear the lyrics, but still. What are you trying to say here?
Is the part where she goes down on me, doing crystal meth, or the little red panties that really make a person think Tigger.
I love this Song, I Love Winnie-the-Pooh, I understand that you want to attract people to the commercial or the product and even try to mix audiences but this is way off target.
Just Sayin'
The Right Way, The Wrong Way, and My Way.

The Funnies: An Open Letter to People in Coffee Shops in the Middle of the Day

A blog post from Hello Giggles by Annie Stamell

Dear People in Coffee Shops in the Middle of the Day,

Hi! I have a lot of questions about you! See, like you, I am one of the people who can sometimes be found in a coffee shop in the middle of the day, and I cannot help but wonder about my café-squatting brethren. I mean, I know why I am here – I am a writer and sometimes I get bored writing from home and thus a switch in location leads me to the closest coffee shop. But what about you? It’s almost 3pm on a Tuesday and you are in a coffee shop! Are you like me? I want to know what you are doing here and I want to know your story! I want to know everything about all of these people in the coffee shop in the middle of the day!

What are you doing? Are you on Facebook? Instagram? Tumblr? All three at once? Are you inventing a new social media website? Are you emailing with someone? Who? What are they saying? Are you writing? What are you writing? Is it a script? A book? An essay on coffee shop aesthetics? Are you lonely? Are you employed? Is this your job? Doesn’t it annoy you to have that plate of crumbs sitting on the table for hours on end? Wouldn’t you just go and throw it out by now? How much coffee have you had? Would you still come here even if they didn’t have free wifi? What did you do before free wifi existed? Who is your favorite superhero? Do you have any single guy friends? Do you think I’ll meet my boyfriend in this coffee shop? Do you like the music they are playing? Are you as creeped out by that one weird dude in the corner as I am?

It’s weird because if you go to a coffee shop in the middle of the day in just about any city (and probably some small towns, too!) there will always people in that coffee shop. People you might see once and never again. People who could be visiting, people who could be your next door neighbor who you’ve never met. It’s a strange existence, the coffee shop life, because I have so many questions and am so very curious about all the other people I occasionally encounter during my coffee shop visits, and yet I never actually talk to anyone or ask anyone who anyone is or what anyone is doing. That’s the thing – we’re all here for a purpose, and whatever that purpose is, because we know there is one, it’s as though the café-dwellers abide by a code. Everyone is often polite but has very little interaction with each other.

The people who go to coffee shops in the middle of the day are unified by their purpose and desire to be in the coffee shop and protected by this shared intention, even though some of us are strangers and we’ll never meet and I’ll never know what you are writing on your computer and what music you are listening to and where you came from and where you are going to.

I am writing this letter to you and I was listening to the new Solange album, “Truth” which is really good but now I am listening to the new Bjork album, “bastards” which is really weird and I came from my house and I’ll go back there soon.

What about you?

Regards,
Stamos

Beevis,

I don't know how I feel about this person. I think he's a lot older,  being an older guy is a lot different than an older woman or a guy our age. I don't know how I would feel about that.

Huhhuhhuh,

Things that need to be shared: Cleo

CASA De AWESOME gets a CAT!!

There is a cat that visits us, we learn that it's our backyard neighbor's (we asked people who she belonged to because we seriously considered kidnapping her) and that her name is Lila  (I still don't believe that the huge tuxedo of a cat is a girl, but there you go.) and she LOVES our driveway. Soaking up the heat from the pavement, and scratching her back (which involves this weird crab walk/roll down the hill of a driveway) And Danni actually likes her. (She's very particular on our furry four legged brethren.) I see my opportunity and 2nd3rd Roommate, and Danni agree. Case de Awesome is in search for a cat

RE: Blues Clues
We just figured out Blue's clues (for a VERY long time I thought she was a boy.)
 Had a dream lastnight with my brother in it.
In it he said I needed to get a cat named "Highlander"
What does that mean? How did I make that up in my head?
 'Cause we're really smart. ("Official story": Joe went to college on a Hopscotch scholarship. Real Story: Joe was fired for being hopped up on scotch)

 Doug, 
Hey. This 'fostering' cat thing is the most complicated/strangest thing ever.
Why can't they just have a pound. The other one we went to was nice.
Anyway this lady told me "I'll cross my fingers that you meet the cat of your dreams"
Don't get me wrong I love animals but they take their job a little too seriously.
 ANYWAY
 I emailed saying that I (we) would like to see Abby, Pinot, Egypt, and Leela.
-> Note you don't have to go, you can be as little or as much as involved as you want.
(lol that made it sound like you were the baby daddy. 'Ive decided I'm having this baby, and you can be involved as much as you like')
I got a response immediately and apparently Abby is a "courtesy listing"; they will write to her owner to see if she's still available.
Weird.
She will contact the rest of the foster homes of the cats. They will compare my schedule with theirs and will contact me and invite me to visit and meet the cats.
 I'm already overwhelmed.
 So what do you think, are you gonna be part of this baby's life or not?

 Hi Tracey,
We are the foster home with Egypt.  She is a fabulous cat!  She's long and lean and very regal.  She also loves people, petting and playing.  Egypt is here with her kittens, a girl Nile and boy Pharaoh, and she's fostering two other, Tom and Jerry.  She must be quite young.  She likes to play almost as much as they do. When would you like to set up a time to meet her?
-CatFosterMom

After 3 months of an exhaustive search and application process (I'm not exaggerating when I say applying for college was easier and faster than this was) we found her, Egypt!!!!
-However, we didn't think the name suited her, but we wanted to keep the same motif, so her full name is: Queen Cleopatra, High Priestess of the Egyptian Nile River
We call her Cleo.
or Cleopatra Comin' Atcha
or FOXY Cleopatra
or Miss Cleo
or Kitty
or MeowMeow
or FartFace












She doesn't really respond to anything but cat treats
and sometimes Fartface.

Danni's Doorstep: Friday

This Thanksgiving I had the pleasure and joy (Note: Sarcasm) of watching the new song called "It's Thanksgiving" complete with unsupervised children cooking and random adult dressed as a turkey and a girl singing into a turkey leg and thinking she can rap.

Needless to say I was horrified.

I then came to learn that the song was created by the same man responsible for Rebecca Black's "Friday." everything makes sense now. I never thought there would be a day where there would be a song worse than "Friday." But alas!

For you Friday enjoyment:
