walking on water 'cause I'm thinking of you

Birthday salutations to one Lance-sometimes-Lansten Bass. Live long a prosper, baby.

Forgot to mention this - brother and I went to see The Whole Ten Yards on Saturday Night, a bitter disappointment as I'm rather fond of the first one, but in the theater lobby was a stand-up for the Spongebob movie. I don't like the show, but dude. Dude! This thing was an eight-foot-tall, foam-textured replica of Spongebob! And the tagline? Now bigger and more absorbent. Ahahaha! Tell me that's not fantastic.

It's been such fun to watch the whole Faking the Video drama unfold over the course of the day. If theories pan out, the actual show should be great fun.

My mother's godparents brought this treat called KinderTojas from Hungary. It's a hollow chocolate egg with a toy inside that you put together yourself. In the one I ate today was the cutest thing - a little crab whose legs and claws wave as you pull it along on a flat surface. It's like the real thing, only less sharp and more adorable.

I have a fair amount of music - 3,509 songs queued up on WinAmp alone right now, and that's far from everything. And yet, every fourth or so song that comes up is somehow pop fandom related, which, to make this a little less like shooting fish in a barrel, I listed but did not include in the official count. There were a few instrumental and foreign language selections I skipped as well.

Started a project I've been meaning to get to today, and remembered why I've been putting it off. It's bloody tedious work to scan, crop, and retouch upwards of 100 pictures. Only one person on my friendslist knows what I'm talking about, but the rest of you will squee along with us soon enough.

Bwah!

We have Kindereier here, too, the same ones with the little toy you put together. They also call them "Überraschungseier," or surprise eggs.

I think they have them in Canada as well! I'm starting to think the US is the only place in the world that doesn't have them. Probably too many small parts for the kiddies to choke on.

Here's a picture of JC with a toy from one (identified in the caption):

Sorry, must have fucked up the formatting:

I know they're all over Europe and Mexico, but nowhere here! Not even at the little foreign treats kiosk at Sawgrass Mills! So sad. You're right though, probably is the small parts.

Eee! Jayceee! Big dork that I am, I love hearing about them doing/enjoying things I do, too. Thanks for the picture.

Also, dude, those cheekbones? You're the one I was referring to in the entry about knowing why I've got upwards of 100 pictures to process, and I've had to stop on almost every single one of JC because those cheekbones. Is it just me though, or did he smile differently back then? There's one picture in particular that made me do a double-take, and I could be going crazy but I swear his teeth are different (interestingly, I think they were better [more straight & even] in these old European shots than now.) Also, is it weird that I think he looks more like himself today in some and almost weirdly little boyish in others? The hat vs. Caesar haircut seems to make all the difference, and it's just weird that he seemed to go from teenage boy to grown-up handsome in the span of a few months (some of the pictures have dates on them.)

And look! Matching icons! Sort of, but I've been dying to break this one out.
