Avoiding Anything Constructive

The computer just restarted randomly, assumably because the graphics driver was a little too overloaded with my five windows looking at five different things at the same time and reworking the layout of my blog.

You're probably looking around the blog wondering what's changed, and if you haven't, jeez, what does it take to get a little attention and caring around here? Actually all I really did was add another category to the sidebar "Design Rad-ness", because after surfing around looking at different design firms around California, I found that a former professor of mine has a blog. After staring at the screen in shock for about five minutes, I read the blog and it was pretty informative (he is a pretty informative guy) and thought I'd share it with the rest of you. The other link goes to cubeme.com which is a site with too many awesome, cool and sure, maybe, unrealistic things to see. But who really cares about realism, I'm looking for inspiration and entertainment.

So I've been listening to Fresno State's radio station yet again, and I can't believe how nice it is just to have some nice instrumental music in the background. I'm completely avoiding any work I'm supposed to be doing, because right now, I'm in complete spring break mode and can't be bothered to even get up to stretch so my back doesn't crap out on me again. If you remotely enjoy jazz or eclectic music, click to http://www.csufresno.edu/kfsr/KFSRhome.html for some great sounds. They've definitely changed their vibe in the last year that I've been gone from that school, they used to have way less jazz programming and more variety, but it seems as though all of it has been smushed into Sunday programming. Oh well, I listen for the jazz anyway.

So since this whole "I'm going to delve into my childhood t.v. watching" phase has begun, I've looked for and found clips of Care Bears, Snoopy Come Home, and now I've found My Little Pony. I'm sure if you haven't contemplated abandoning this blog yet, you're probably thinking about it now. Bear with me.

Either that or ignore this post. Your choice.

I had this tape of My Little Pony & Friends that had a two part episode called "The Revolt of Paradise Estate". In the episodes, magical paint is used to quickly repair the home of MLP, which it does but also brings the furniture and house to life. These regularly inanimate objects then turn on the ponies, chasing them out of the house. But things of course get resolved in the end. These movies were such a big part of my childhood, rediscovering them is like rediscovering outlooks and emotions that I haven't had since then. It's a pretty darn weird experience.

I couldn't find a clip of MLP so here's a clip from the last of the four biggest movies of my childhood: The Three Caballeros.
