More whacked-out Speed Racer shit ...
mood: 
totally geeky
totally geeky... apparently the Mach 5 can race cross-country at about 4000 miles per hour.
Because when the Casa Cristo race begins (at sunrise), Spritle is watching it live in the morning back at Chez Racer. Pops busts him out and makes him go outside to get some sun. Then, only a few hours later, Pops steps out to get some parts, saying, "I'll be back before lunch," CLEARLY indicating that it is still morning. Yet when Spritle sneaks back into the house to catch the race, the first day is already winding down as the team slices through the aqueducts of Sassicaia, and thence to Cortega, under the setting sun.
I'm not saying that the Mach 5 couldn't cover 12 time zones in 3 hours. It is, after all, The Fabulous Mach 5 ...

Ready for more Speed Racer bloopers?
mood: 
obsessed
obsessedNobody can figure out when Rex actually "died."
During the opening race at Thunderhead, Old Guy Announcer starts yapping about "that night 8 years ago" when Rex Racer set the course record. Then Long-Hair Brit Guy Announcer yammers about Rex taking orders from the criminal underworld for five years before the Casa Cristo tragedy, which would mean that Rex died at most three years ago. BUTBUTBUT, when Inspector Detector (woof!) appears at the Racer house after the race at Fuji, Pops says that he hasn't seen him for 10 years, which must have been when I.D. was conducting the investigation into Rex's death.
So, did Rex die three years ago, or ten? And if it was ten, how did Rex set the course record at Thunderhead after having been dead for two years?
And for you quickwits who point out that I.D. may have been investigating something OTHER than Rex's death 10 years prior, I must point out that at Casa Cristo, Speed tells Trixie that "Inspector Detector suspected foul play" in Rex's death, so he must have been involved in the investigation (unless Inspector Detector grants phone interviews reference controversies in which he has no personal involvement, like those doctors and therapists that speak to the Enquirer about Oprah's weight and Heather Locklear's emotional state even though they've never treated them).
Clearly I need "Mugglenet" for Speed Racer. Where is it? Where?

Joan Crawford
You scored 48% grit, 24% wit, 19% flair, and 21% class!
You are one tough dame, as tough as they come. You've had to fight long and hard to get where you are, but you always knew you'd do whatever you had to do to get ahead. You aren't above committing crimes (or seducing others to do them for you) to get what you want. You want to be happy and comfortable, but you usually always manage to get the fuzzy end of the lollipop. Even your kids are usually against you. Your leading men include anyone you set your sights on, even married guys that are never seen on-screen. Watch your back.

The main reason I haven't been posting ...
mood: geeky
geekyNaturally, having watched it daily for 14 days, I have discovered inconsistencies and discrepancies, with which documentation I shall clutter this blog beginning now!
Young Speed is right-handed; adult Speed is left-handed.
Little Speedy uses his right hand to fill out his test form in the classroom scene. Big Speed is never shown writing; HOWEVER, he shoots left-handed in the mountain pass scene (WOOF!), and every time he throws a punch (mountain pass scene AND hotel ninja scene) he leads with a strong left, but his right is short and tentative. And finally, when Chim-chim tosses his the gun during the mountain pass scene, he snatches it out of the air with his left hand and in a single fluid motion, pistol whips the baddie man with it still in his left hand.
As God is my witness, I never thought I'd see the day when Speed Racer, clad in leather, would pistol-whip a bad guy on the big screen with huge martial-arts film snowflakes falling all around.

You are outwardly altruistic yet neurotically obsessed.
Whether through a privileged background or being just plain naive, you try to act as a morally conscious individual while never fully attempting to understand the harsher sides of reality, torn between contemplating your own identity and being a good person.
Though compassionate and honourable, you suffer from an incomplete personality and your unresolved neuroses border on the egomaniacal, leaving you in the dark.

29% Anxiety Over Abandonment and 42% Avoidance Of Intimacy
You like to be independent, to play by your own rules. You're not terribly interested in finding a partner and settling down, and it makes you nervous to imagine that someone might depend on you for anything. Were you to find the right partner--someone as independent as you, probably--you'd not be too put out about sharing your adventures with him/her.

Your result for The What Middle Earth race do you belong to Test...
Elf
You're an Elf! You scored low in size, high in morality, high in aggression and high in intelligence to get here. The first and favorite race created by the Valar, the Elves have been in Middle Earth for many ages, and are currently the only race allowed to join their creators in Valinor. Blessed with eternal life, enhanced senses, great beauty, wisdom and skill, the race of Elves still has several black marks on it. (Kinslaying, anyone?) But hey, no one is perfect, right? Of course not, but the Elves are damn close to it.
FYI, your polar opposite is the Troll.

mood: 
blobby
blobbyBACK to nights and hooray for walking beats and days off during the week to go to the gym! But boo for limited food choices at 0200 - it's either 7-Eleven or nothing, and boy howdy, those super-size chocolate bars start looking re-e-e-e-eal good after 8 hours of domestic disputes and employee evaluations.
My Goal: 15 pounds by Labor Day weekend
My Motivation: Cousin Sunshine's wedding and the gorgeous dress I just ordered from The Territory Ahead, which, although ordered in my current size, would sure look a lot better with some slack around the belly
My Support Group: None *sigh* in fact, the kids are nagging me for ice cream every night now that it's gotten hot. Must ... be ... strong! Plus, anytime my mom gets wind of one of my weight loss programs, she shows her support by poking me in the abdomen as often as possible and announcing loudly, "Whatever you're doing isn't working!" This is the sensitivity and maternal love that drove poor pregnant Jeannie to cry hysterically and shut off her phone for an entire month.
My Plan: There isn't one. I can't lie - I've read enough fitness books and mags to know what to eat and what to avoid. Planning out menus for the week depresses me, and keeping a food journal is fun for about a day. There's just no nice way to say it - I need to get off my dead ass and move more, and stop pounding the cookie dough and Mounds bars. Plus I need to get more salad and less overstuffed pasta. Common-sense stuff.

my back hurts... this shit is HARD!
I washed the shower curtain the other week and couldn't help but notice that the caulk around the shower pan looked a little gamey. OK, it was downright gross, and since I have this week off (hooray!) I decided to pull a Harriet Homeowner and recaulk the shower myself. I went to Baby Blue for advice (he of the college-era construction job and all-around handy guy) and he made it sound almost effortless. "It'll take you about an hour," he said.
An hour. Maybe for HIM! I started last night and kept at it this morning after the kids went to school, scraping and scraping and scraping. After TWO hours it's only about 80% done, and I have the actual caulking yet to do.
I want a beer. Make it a Corona.

resigned to being a bore!Your Score: Borefest - ISTJ
26% Extraversion, 40% Intuition, 63% Thinking, 80% Judging
One word. Boring. Sums you up to a tee. You're responsible, trustworthy, serious and down to earth. Boring. Boring. Boring.
You play by the rules. You follow tradition. You encourage structure.
You insist that EVERYBODY do EVERYTHING by the book. Seriously, is there even an ounce of imagination in that little brain of yours? I mean, what's the point of imagination, right? It has no practical value...
As far as you're concerned, abstract theories can go screw themselves. You just want the facts, all the facts and nothing but the facts.
Oh. And you're a perfectionist. About everything. You know that the previous sentence was gramattically incorrect and that "gramattically" was spelt wrong. Your financial records are correct to 25 decimal places and your bedroom is in pristine condition. In fact, you even don't sleep on your bed anymore for fear that you might crease the sheets.
Thankfully, you don't have anyone else to share the bed with, because you're uncomfortable expressing affection and emotion to others. Too bad.

Stash attack
I finished my stash management exercise and found that I've accumulated 337 different kinds of yarn (typically 2-6 balls of each) since I left college. Some of it is so old that Ravelry doesn't even recognize it as yarn!
*shameless*
Now, of course, I have to start cataloguing my "Works in Progress". I'm aiming for one a day until they're all in there. This will take longer because photos are de rigeur ...
And speaking of WIP's, while on my knitting retreat I finished THREE projects!

fussyAnd once I'm on Ravelry, I'm going to quit the Knitlist. I just never use it and I'm tired of deleted 50 emails every day that I won't read. Not that everyone on the Knitlist isn't super nice (they are), but if I'm not going to get into the swing of things, it's just so much of their server time wasted.
I heard about Second Life and went to go check it out; I know I can be a total Luddite but I just don't see the point. I would set up an avatar, take a tutorial on how to navigate the virtual world, and then start socializing, buying property and fixing up my house ... ? Wouldn't my time be better spent, well, socializing, buying real property and fixing up the house I already have? Plus it looked super-complicated, and putting in a lot of effort in order to relax makes zero sense to me. And I spend enough time online as it is, farting around with needlework sites and blogging and Gaia, which although intended for (and populate by) pubescent girls, is at least easy to jump into and has some kickass games.
I joined Gaia in order to spy on Pattycakes since she was spending so much time there and I wanted to make sure she wasn't being stalked by 50 year-old perverts. And now I spend more time there than she does. *facepalm*
I started the christening gown for the new baby (hereafter termed "Squeetus") and it's turning out to be a lot of fun. Every lace repeat measures about 1-1/4 inches, so 15 inches (the length of the gown) would only take 12 pattern repeats which is very doable. I'd forgotten how quick baby clothes knit up! Pictures soon.
