  Welcome to Cynical Island, population: you

  Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.

  Good Wednesday to you all Has it been a good one? A little song to get us going I think:

  Holding Out For a Hero

  In life news: Well today I went to the agency - I am all registered now we just wait and see what happens. I have a consultant who wil help me look for the right job that I want - it does make me nervous though starting all over again but change is good - still thinking positive. Went shopping afterwards, was supposed to go with my mum but shes going through a rough time at the moment so the Doctor came out etc - but hopefully all will be ok in a couple of days. I brought a TV series when I went shopping today - its where my blog title comes from Can anyone guess which series its from?

  Thankyou to everyone who answered my movie question here are some of the faves that people picked out:

  Chanouel - Of Mice and Men

  Vendbien - Godfather I, Space Odyssey, GroundHog Day

  Miles - It's a Wonderful Life

  SweetPea - Titanic

  PunkNerd - I Robot

  SMG - Phantom of The Opera

  France - Beautiful Thing and Maurice

  Madison - Remember the Titans and Armageddon

  Some Brilliant choices there guys and I like some of the good ol' Cla$$ics that have been mentioned! - plus there are a few I may have to check out myself!

  IN OTHER NEWS

  Estelle Getty sadly passed away on the 22nd July

  Mainly Remembered for her role in The Golden Girls but there were a few other thing I've seen her in and she always played such fun characters.

  

  Well before I go - I was thinking about Childrens TV the other day of past and present - funnily enough TVfan blogged about this the other day - its like one mind lol! So heres a few of my faveourite shows that I watched when I was younger

  Sister Sister, Hang Time, Clarissa Explains It All,Marsuplami, The Gummy Bears and The Raccoons.

  *What about you what did you Watch and Enjoy?* I might see if i can do an ode to childrens TV in my next blog.

  Now, at long last some NEW Barbie dolls to coincide with her aging gracefully. These are a bit more realistic...
  
  1. Bifocals Barbie. Comes with her own set of blended-lens fashion frames in six wild colors (half-frames too)! Neck chain and large-print editions of Vogue and Martha Stewart Living.
  
  2. Hot Flash Barbie. Press Barbie's bellybutton and watch her face turn beet red while tiny drops of perspiration appear on her forehead! With handheld fan and tiny tissues.
  
  3. Facial Hair Barbie. As Barbie's hormone levels shift, see her whiskers grow! Available with teensy tweezers and magnifying mirror.
  
  4. Cook's Arms Barbie. Hide Barbie's droopy triceps with these new, roomier-sleeved gowns. Good news on the tummy front, too: muumuus with tummy support panels are included!
  
  5. Bunion Barbie. Years of disco dancing in stiletto heels have definitely taken their toll on Barbie's dainty arched feet. Soothe her sores with the pumice stone and plasters, then slip on soft terry mules.
  
  6. No More Wrinkles Barbie. Erase those pesky crow's-feet and lip lines with a tube of Skin Sparkle-Spackle, from Barbie's own line of exclusive age-blasting cosmetics.
  
  7. Soccer Mom Barbie. All that experience as a cheerleader is really paying off as Barbie dusts off her old high school megaphone to root for Babs and Ken, Jr. With mini van in robin's egg blue or white, and cooler filled with doughnut holes and fruit punch.
  
  8. Mid-life Crisis Barbie. It's time to ditch Ken. Barbie needs a change, and Bruce (her personal trainer) is just what the doctor ordered, along with Prozac. They're hopping in her new red Miata and heading for the Napa Valley to open a B&B. Comes with real tape of "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do."
  
  9. Single Mother Barbie. There's not much time for primping anymore! Ken's shacked up with the Swedish au pair in the Dream House and Barbie's across town with Babs and Ken, Jr., in a fourth-floor walkup. Barbie's selling off her old gowns and accessories to raise rent money. Complete garage sale kit included.
  
  10. Recovery Barbie. Too many parties have finally caught up with the ultimate party girl. Now she does 12 steps instead of dance steps! Clean and sober, she's going to meetings religiously. Comes with little copy of The Big Book and six-pack of Diet Coke.
  
  11. Post Menopausal Barbie. Poor Barbie wets her pants when she sneezes, forgets where she puts things, and cries a lot. She is sick and tired of Ken sitting on the couch watching the tube, clicking through the channels. Comes with Depends and Kleenex. As a bonus this year, she comes with the book, "Getting In Touch with Your Inner Self

  Have a Good Evening Guys!

  Saturday Night At The Movies...

  If you prick us, do we not bleed? If
  you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die?
  And if you wrong us, do we not revenge? If we are like you in the
  rest, we will resemble you in that.

  Still continuing with the movie theme can you guess which song it is? Click Below:

  Saturday

  This isn't really much of a blog today I will try and do that tomorrow. But I'm feeling in a lovely mood *NOTE to all I am not Drunk* and so I thought I would send you all out one of these...

  

  Whether you have had a great day a lame day or a downright crappy day I am sending this out to all of you - because a lil hug never hurt anyone.

  Thats really it for today guys - thanks to all who've sent in what movies they like keep them coming if you can!

  BEFORE I GO

  Here are some things I've learned from Godzilla, Gamera, Star Wars, etc.

  -Any animal which isn't a human will grow 50 times its size when exposed to some sort of radiation.

  -If some exotic pet escapes from its cage, it will likewise grow to immense proportions.

  -No matter what city you're in, the streets are always wide enough so that giant monsters could walk on it.

  -Many monsters, even machines, are somehow depicted in ancient myths.

  -It takes only a few seconds to pick a name for an unknown giant monster.

  -If a monster is evil, it has enough energy to spout an infinite number of energy beams from its mouth. If it's a good guy, it can only shoot at most 2 energy beams before it nearly collapses of exhaustion.

  -A monster's energy beam can effortlessly destroy a huge, heavily armored robot, but takes 5 seconds to shoot through buildings.

  -No matter where you are, there's always a clearing big enough for almost a dozen monster to rumble in.

  -Giant flowers are always a problem. They'll either blow up in a mile wide explosion, or they'll mutate into vine-whipping, acid-spitting atrocities.

  -It takes all the electricity in a city to power a handful of tanks.

  -The power of a missle is inversly proportional to how much you talk about its "capabilities".

  -Aliens wear pimped out jackets and know martial arts.

  -If there's an object you need to destroy quickly, it will always have a near-inpenetrable energy sheild.

  -When you see an ordinary building and its name pops up in the subtitles, the building will be destroyed in about 15 minutes.

  -If you have a strange looking lightsaber, you are one of the most powerful Jedi in the galaxy.

  -Tiny spaceships never get destroyed. Huge kilometer-wide starships will be destroyed in a matter of minutes.

  Have a good Evening and Tueday Guys

  xx AMY xx
