Or 2: I have to show you something, TD5. I forgot to ask Frass about this. The tour poster for Sasha Fierce is just the most...horrible thing, I've seen! Her makeup's weird and she has handles...
TD5: What is it?
Or 2: It's a bike dress or something.
TD5: Is she a transformer?
Or 2: Uhh...well...
TD5: No, what you're telling me is that she's a transformer!

TD5: OMG!



So yeah, seriously Frass...what the eff.

Currently listening to: "Lacrimosa" by Kalafina, 2nd ED Theme to Kuroshitsuji.

39 Steps with TD5

It sounds like a very complicated program for addiction, doesn't it?

Well, it's really a network of spies...

and BANG!

That aside, here's a story of what happened before Mr. Memory lost his memory and everything else.

TD5 and I trundled to Midtown and trundled some more through the Grand Central Holiday Fair then around 42ND Street to visit Toys R' Us and the Virgin Mega store.

There were some nice things at the GCS Holiday Fair but not being of upper middle to upper class status as TD5 and I noted, those nice things were left exactly where they were, waiting for pretentious fools to go ahead and spend their money on often hippy, overpriced, classist nonsense.

He got his nephew some sort after Transformer toys that involved Optimus Prime and Bumble Bee. I was pushing him to get Galvitron since I'm a Decepticon fan myself (yeah, who would have thought?) but at least Megatron and Scorpion (?) came in the sets too. There's always room for Decepticons.

Virgin Megastore proved pricey as usual but I did walk out with something great and free: The Onion. That's always fun times. That and a free Iron Man poster.

We then met up with H1, Luiiiissss and Alex to do dinner. Thank goodness I checked the tickets and discovered the show was at 7PM and not 8PM because there would have been some hella angry peeps had we missed half the thing. Heh.

Our plans to go to Delta Grill were squashed with this new information so we went to the closest, quick service, good food place we could think of and ended up at Pongsri.

After dinner and bidding farewell to Alex, we went to see the Broadway play - Alfred Hitchcock's The 39 Steps, which was not an actual addiction program but I'm sure you lot already figured that out.



The first half was rather entertaining and any mention of 'coos makes for a good bit of media. H1 and I were quite pleased.

The second half started off kind of slow but it was alright. The jokes were plentiful and funny, sometimes expected and 'ran' the same way but all in all, it was a very pleasant evening with family.

TD5 enjoyed his early Birthday present and that's awesome.

All in all, I'd say our evening took about 3900 steps, which I guess means we need lots of help.

Highlights of the evening:

1. The (first - ha) shadow puppet theatre during the chase scene.
2. The cast. I enjoyed 3 of the 4 members. I was not very moved by the lead female but she wasn't bad either.
3. The costume changes and multiple role changes within scene and the non-seriousness of it all.
4. The top of the train scene as pictured here courtesy of the official website www.39stepsonbroadway.com:

Professor Jordan: It was supposed to be a cast of four! ::dying:: four...

Currently listening to: "Mid Point" by Kuniaki Haishima, from the Monster Original Soundtrack 1. Heh, I've TD5 hooked on Monster! Bwahahaha. I'm so proud of myself.

Reminscing II - This Time on Transformers

I remember when we had Shockwave and he was broken in the most inappropriate place that that little Decepticon could be broken. That's exactly the kind of thing an asshole country in Africa would do to him.

There's going to be at least one more of these when the movie actually comes out, I'm sure but I had to post this pre-discussion now.

I'm not really keen on seeing it because there's some bitterness there from the childhood when our brother and I had our Tapes stolen from us but annnnyyywwaaaayyyyyy.

We came up with a plan for Battler and that is to have her dress up as a montage of vintage 80's cartoons at the premiere for this movie.

Here are some of the items she needs to be rockin' when the time comes - a smurf hat, a strawberry shortcake on the arm, a top cat top hat, and a chomp chomp in a bag among other things. But then I mentioned she needed some kind of "Captain Planet and the Planeteers" gear and we realized that that show was racist!

Think about it.

Why was the African kid the guardian of Earth?

Why was the Asian kid the guardian of Water?

Why was the Amazonian kid the guardian of Heart? Okay, maaayybbbe that's not racist but I just didn't understand it.

The European was the guardian of Wind but did anyone else notice that the Fire-Crotch was the guardian of Fire?

This show sucked big time but that's what happens when you let Hippies on to tv and let them create programs. That's right, Jane Fonda, I called you a GDDH.

Here's what sucked the most though:

one of the characters was called 'Duke Nukem' and looked a like so -



The only Duke Nukem we'd know and love is this one!



Alright, so maybe he was an asshole that we didn't necessarily love but at least he didn't invoke images of Magnum PI with his choice of attire.

Quotes of the week:

"I stayed there like a pussy!" - Battler, on her misadventures at the 14th Street Starbucks.

"Sabi has an ass-lock." - Beetchie, on the tuft of hair that Sabi refuses to have brushed out, that yes, is lingering above her ass and becoming dutty.

"When Sabi is ready to have it cut, she'll just back her ass up on Beetchie to have her cut it off." - H1, on above subject.
