Buried Treasures: Adventures in Closet Cleaning #1

Yes.  I like Beanie Babies.  Deal with it.

I've put it off for over decade.  I never cleaned the closet.  Imagine the size of a normal hall closet and multiply the size of that times 6... and then imagine 75% of the closet is full... and by full I mean stuff stacked on the floor on up to the top shelf.  A closet so full of stuff that you can't get anything out without it becoming a several day project of moving stuff out just so you can step inside....  That's my closet.

CRAFTING: NES Cartridge Sleeves

Remember these things?  The dust cover thingies.  If you have cartridges then you might have some... or you don't... and you need some... but you may not find the merit of paying for them online....  I didn't.  10 minutes + card stock = new sleeve

Living the Dream ~ Chocolate Cornet Time ~

Ever since I first laid eyes on the first few minutes of Lucky Star, I've wanted a chocolate cornet.  A couple weekends ago... I finally obtained one.

Do Me A Flavor - Lay's Chip Contest

http://www.fritolay.com/lays/

I was alerted to these chips a few weeks ago and I became intrigued.  I picked up a few small bags and tried them all with my bf.  We weren't sure what to expect from them and quite frankly we weren't sure if we wanted to know.

Sequelitis: The Fifth Element

So it came up in conversation the other day “what movies should have sequels but never got one”.   Several were mentioned but the one suggestion that stuck out to me was Fifth Element (a futuristic space adventure epic starring Bruce Willis and Milla Jovivich).   If you've never seen it, then go watch it and then read this post.

Anime Review: Angel Links vol 2 - AKA - I'm A Terrible Person For Spending $2 On This

It was on the clearance shelf at the discount store... just sitting there... begging me to take it home with me...

I'm such a sucker...

Anime Review: Angel Links - AKA NOT Outlaw Star

From the universe of Outlaw Star, Sunrise gave us.... not more Outlaw Star.  Don't be fooled though.  This show is worse than it's cover...

Lakitu's Cloud

 

At the beginning of Super Mario 64 (N64 version) we are introduced to the Lakitu Brothers who will be recording your every… almost every move.   

In A World Where Mainframe Is Still Offline….. Aliens

CGI has flooded the children’s film market.  I know it.  You know it.  I know it.  You know it.  Opinions are invalid. It is now fact and common knowledge.  Name me one new animated movie that WASN’T CGI that was in theaters last year….. And don’t say Beauty and the Beast 3D.  That’s not new.  

Welcome to DIE!

Hello and welcome to ShaBlam!  Please forgive the mess as construction is still underway.  It seems either I don't remember how change the colors around here from the last time I set up a blog or Google mussed stuff up again (probably that).  Still don't know exactly what to do for the background but I DID make a logo!  HAHA!  I feel accomplished~.......... *cricket cricket*


Now as to the purpose of this blog........

Coping with keeping up with times while living in the past.
Always wearing nostalgia pants.
Nostalgia PAWNCH!
Nostalgia gonna hit that.  With a truck.



As the years go by, my thoughts digress and my memory gets worse.  In an effort to save my brain from squishing out of my ears I will attempt to make myself keep up with something.  I'll rant, I'll praise, I'll confuse, I'll eat, I'll play with toys....  I'll write whatever comes to mind, but only things related nerdom and nostalgia.  Broad category.  I know.  Hopefully I won't dyslexic too many of my words on here but if I do then I apologize already.  I try my best to re-read everything.

I ramble too much. 

Stay tuned!
