Christmas In a Jar

My recent obsession!
These are wonderful Christmas decorations in my opinion.  You don't have to go all out if you can't afford to. You can find little Christmas decorations, like the tree, at the 99 Cent Store.  I really want to make an elf version, if I can't find an elf I might make a gingerbread man version because I'm pretty sure I've seen those at the 99.  You'll also need a jar (99 Cent Store if you don't have one lying around), glitter (preferably white) and or cotton balls (you might already own some), and of course glue (either a hot glue gun, or crazy glue should do the trick.

Heads up, if you search images of Christmas in a Jar, you might also find these:

These are great Christmas gifts because I can 100% assure you that everyone loves food, even if they have to make it themselves.

If I get a chance to make my very own Christmas in a Jar, rest assured that I will keep you posted!

Gone With The Wind

The pun is 100% intended.  As you may or may not know California received some hurricane-like winds on Wednesday night.  If you lived in the towns with no electricity then you know how crazy people were acting.  I made the most of my day though.  I made a blanket fort, took a 5 hour nap (something that I would normally never do), and even got some reading done.  Sadly it ruined my previous promise to blog my little heart out, but more importantly I missed out on NBC's Comedy Night. I am fully caught up with the latter.  I am also happy to report that Greendale Community College got a lot of support.  Dan Harmon tweeted:
That deserves a jump of joy!
"Thank you guys for the ratings boost! It'd be nice to go out head held high - high by our adorable little standards, anyway."

The news(for the show and not the wind) was thrilling for me! I am now fully prepared to blog my little heart out.

P.S. My heart goes out to all the trees that lost their trunks in that terrible wind, all the homeless people that had to bare it, and anybody else with injuries and damaged properties.

The Countdown Has Begun!

Sorry if November wasn't such a great blogging month.  I intend to try and make it up to you if that's even possible.  What better way to end the year than to blog like crazy?! I shall try and provide amazing holiday goodness, and my 2011 favorites all December long!  Till then...

Things That Made My Head Spin

1. Jason Segel and the Muppets. Jason Segel and the Muppets. Yes, I saw the muppets on Friday, and no I am still not over it. Jason Segels adorable level increased tremendously, and naming him cutie patootie of the week was not enough for me. He has been on my mind all week, and probably next week as well.


2. The students of UC Davis being pepper sprayed. I am outraged.


3. Movie of the week: E.T. I watched it on Thanksgiving. Forgot how amazing it is, and how adorable Drew Barrymore is. Such a classic. Only Steven Spielberg makes me want to re-live my childhood and go on an epic bicycle adventure. Cue the E.T. theme song!


Have a happy week everybody! :)

Cutie Patootie of the Week

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner!
We would like to bestow the honor upon the one and only Jason Segel!  We've had a major crush on Jason Segel for years.  The reason is mostly due to his charm; his charm alone has kept us amazed since his days on Freaks and Geeks where he played the stoner with a heart of gold.  His comedic and acting chops are also brilliant in How I Met Your Mother, Knocked Up, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and I Love You Man.  We're huge fans if you can't tell!

And you know us squirrels, we just love guys that happen to be multi-talented.  Besides being an actor Jason is a screenplay writer, director, producer, and has even written and performed his own music for the screen. We present you with this:
That video of the song "Dracula's Lament"was written by Segel himself.  It brings us to our next point! He has an usual love for puppets, something that we can't help but find adorbs!  He credits the fact that he's still single to his house of puppets.  Well, Jason all we have to say to that is that you are barking up the wrong conceded trees.  If a gal can't take you being just who you are, you shouldn't have to deal with her.  We're available! Just saying. 

On another note we would like to thank Jason Segel for bringing the Muppets back to theaters; it's been too long.  And that's exactly where you can catch Jason this weekend.  The Muppets, a film he starts and co-writes, is in theaters now!  We can't wait to get on down there!

I am youtube fanatic. I can spend hours watching videos. These are some of my favorites on this Tuesday.

Look at these adorable kittens.


Have you seen these HILARIOUS little girls?! I want one.


....and Taylor Swift being asked if she's ever smoked. Love her!

Things That Made My Head Spin

Hello my friends. I think it's time for a new segment, so I bring to you the "Things That Made My Head Spin", which pretty much sums up the interesting news of the prior week. Here it goes!

1. The Unjust Benching of Community
These are trying times for fans.  I have to say that the war has begun.  I did my part and sent 2 letters to the chairman of NBC.  If you're a fan and you're reading this, I urge you to do the same.

2.The Battle of the Sexiest
It was the shot heard across the world this week when People Magazine chose the recipient of their annual Sexiest Man Alive and it wasn't Ryan Gosling.  Fans were outraged, and it even led to the funniest protest in human history.
3. The Stop Online Piracy Act
Does congress realize how much power hackers have?  I am obviously hoping that this bill does not get passed for many reasons.  My main reason: youtube!
