That's so Chinese Raven

ok I admit it, I like to watch the Disney Channel. I don't know why, I just think it's fun. So I was watching TV recently and saw that "That's so Raven" was on. So I clicked it on, and was ready to watch. But what did I hear...CHINESE. I couldn't believe it, it was dubbed. Talk about funny. Remember those bad movies from the 80's that were dubbed over, the mouth is moving but nothing is coming out or the mouth is closed and the voice is talking. That was what was happening on Raven. CRAZY!!

12 Days of Christmas and More

I got an email this week from my friend Karla with a link to the video below. I thought it was pretty good so I wanted to share it with you.


After watching that video, I watched a few more of their videos and found this one that brought back some good childhood memories.


It's amazing that something good can actually come out of IU.

Guns N Roses Lyrics Cause Teacher to Lock Herself in Classroom

ROXBURY, Conn. — Karaoke can be scary, but threatening?

A school custodian's impromptu after-hours karaoke performance prompted a police response when a teacher thought she was being threatened over the loudspeaker.

State police say the teacher at Booth Free School barricaded herself inside a classroom Wednesday when she mistook someone singing a Guns N' Roses song over the public address system for a threat.

She was working after hours and thought no one else was in the building. Then she heard someone say over the loudspeaker that she was going to die.

Six troopers and three police dogs showed up and found three teenagers, one of them a custodian at the school, who had been playing with the public address system.

Police say one of them sang "Welcome to the Jungle" into the microphone. The song contains the lyrics "You're in the jungle baby; you're gonna die."

The teenagers were cuffed for about 15 minutes while police investigated. They didn't realize anyone else was in the school at the time. No charges will be filed, said state police Sgt. Brian Ness.

*******************

In light of the many school shootings and other acts of violence that have been occurring lately, I can see why this woman would have been scared, but you have to admit it is pretty funny. I know I shouldn't be laughing, but I am. Sorry!

Ugly Christmas

So when I think of Christmas, I usually think of Red and Green, silver and Gold. Sometimes white, maybe some burgandy, mauve, pink, or blue. But have you ever thought of purple. Not the color of purple that royalty wears, but rather a bright purple that is almost leaning too much towards florescent purple. Yes, I said Florescent. Well one of the largest malls in HK decided that that is the color they were going to use to decorate this year. It could be ok, but here's the thing, it's not the ornaments that are this purple but rather it is the tree itself. I'm sure you are having to re-read this over and over because you think how could this be, how could a nice shopping mall actually decorate with Purple trees. I have been asking myself the same thing and the only thing I could think of was that someone was smoking something really bad when they did their ordering of decorations this year. Are you ready for the pictures? Here they are:

I took this picture from the 7th floor looking down on the tree. The theme seems to be a musical theme. The tree is actually sitting on a drum which is about 10 feet tall and then hanging from the tree and leaning at the base of the tree are other musical instruments. I think the total height of the tree is about 4 stories.


The treble clef really adds that special something.

Along with the big tree in the middle of the mall they also have small 6ft trees scattered about the mall. Nikelle couldn't resist playing the little violins.

Luckily one of the other malls in town decided to actually do a nice classy christmas. Here's a pic of their beautiful tree.
