Flickr



Today I went through the tutorial of Flickr. Straightforward, not difficult. In fact I had this sense of deja vu because it finally dawned on me that I had been here before. It had been so long ago I nearly forgot. A giddy feeling was washing over me. I was back where I used to be, but something was different. Yes, it was all coming back. First an inkling than full realization. The memories were repressed no more, it was Yahoo Photos.

I found this interesting picture in Flickr files under keyword "Fifties". I have never seen so much red and green together in one room this side of the North Pole. And it wasn't even Christmas. Even the little girl's socks are red. Well it at least looks like they have some sort of "beverage" to help them zone out in that hideous excuse for a room. They look comfortably numb.


I really like the third party Flickr businesses. Especially Big Huge Labs: http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/

Motivator looks great! http://www.bighugelabs.com/flickr/motivator.php
You can make your own inspirational motivational poster or a cynical, jaded de-motivational poster. Cool.

Television








I know that I am a night owl, so I decided to make the most of my time, while waiting for Futurama to come on. So now I have created my blog. Talk Soup is on right now with some pretty funny clips of some pretty unusual commercials. Now the segment is "The Worst of Home Shopping" with a clip of from HSN Quacker Factory, featuring "bedazzled" sweatshirts, QVC's Tova Borgnine's (Ernest "Marty" and "McHale's Navy" Borgnine's wife) "signature" perfume, and Suzanne Sommers talking about her dead cat while selling shawls on QVC.


Now there is a segment called "What the Kids are Buying" featuring Love n Licks Puppies are stuffed animals that who lick your face and water comes out of the end of the tongue ! Here the link to the Playmates toy site:http://www.playmatestoys.com/lovenlicks/index.html click to view the commercial. This is so silly who wants to clean up all that water?



Thank goodness it's 2:30AM and Futurama is now on. This one introduces the suave "Kirk-esque" Zapp Brannigan. He's trying and succeeds in hitting on Lela. Oh my.


Now it's 3AM, I wonder what's on TCM? Hmmm, Butterfield 8. This is the movie that won Elizabeth Taylor her Oscar. Some say she won it on a sympathy vote because she had been very ill and almost died. I think she had to have a tracheotomy-probably more than ever cared to know.


Well I guess I need to get to sleep. If you like old movies or new movies, remember old tv shows then post to this blog. Hey if anyone know where I can get an old television cabinet let me know. I want to refurbish it into something new.
'night.
