Look Who's Talking
June 16, 2003I'm about to admit something very random. I hate it when real babies and animals talk with adult voices in movies.
- Bruce Willis as the baby in "Look Who's Talking" - absolutely creepy. Babies aren't middle aged, balding men. Horrible.
- Those e-greetings that got sent around online a couple months ago with the baby singing about what goes on in his diapers... adult voice again. Unforgivable.
Now, I don't mind animated characters having adult voices, because there's no option for them to use their "real voice," with one exception:
- Garfield's voice when the cartoon got animated. Very Ben Stein sounding. Ruined Garfield for life. Who's with me?
There are a million other examples of this nightmarish practice. Personally, I think babies and animals should just use their own voices. So what if it's not English?
Moving right along... Santa Barbara was fun! And hot! I'm consistently amazed every time I visit that kids at UCSB get anything done. Both Friday and Saturday nights I slept through about a dozen house parties coming from our block. Long live earplugs. The nice thing about looking young, though, is that I fit in with the masses fine. It's like I can relive college parties again without seeming like that lame older kid who can't move on and get a job. I can probably keep this up till I'm 35 (yeah that's a little too lame).
The weeks are peeling away until my big vacay! I've decided to leave my fabulous Nikon SLR at home, and instead pack light. The last time I was in Europe my Nikon really weighed me down, even though the pics it took were amazing. So, I'm leaving all the lenses at home and going digital! Still have yet to figure out which cool, new camera I'll bring along, but I'll certainly put it to the test, and let you know how it held up.
The garbage men woke me up at 4:45 am this morning, like they do every Monday morning. I'm convinced they're trying to upset me. It's working, guys! Two thumbs up!
I also have 2 baby pigeons living in a nest in a little corner of the roof right outside my bedroom window. Pigeon babies don't look anything like adult pigeons. Really fuzzy and sweet. I was really annoyed when I discovered the nest, because I don't need any more feathered friends hanging out at Casa Lane. But I can't say no to those little beaks. Sigh. Let's hope they learn to fly out of the city and make a nice home in the redwoods.
I've always blamed my parents for my poor fashion sense as a child. My mom always says, "You wouldn't let us dress you so we just let you wear whatever you wanted." I like the Run-DMC sweats, but I'm pretty sure I didn't pick this haircut.
;)
Happy week!

If you're looking for a small but awesome cam to take on your trip, I'd highly recommend the Canon Powershot Elph S230 (3.2mp) or S400 (4mp!!). Canon makes great lenses, and these cameras are small enough to fit in almost any pocket. I have a 1st generation Powershot S11 (2.11mp) that still blows away Sony's 3mp units.

As you know, in photography, it's all about the lens. Anyone can make a 3 or 4 mp imager, but you need to go with a camera company for the optics.
Have a great trip!

...who doesn't work for Canon, but has used their cameras for 25 years!
Another thing Sarah do you really not want to host TSS? IMO your more qualified than Jessica.
When I was growing up I found an orphan pigeon and took him in and raised him. He turned out to be a very cool pet.
Now I have two cats and a chocolate lab. The cats were orphaned when their mother was hit by a car, and someone just dropped the lab off out here in the country. Someone had to take them in didn't they? My wife says if I adopt any more animals I'll need someone to adopt me!
Glad to see you made it back safe!:)

First off, travelocity booked us a hotel room for a hotel that does not do business with travelocity and that was booked solid for at least a month, and did not inform us of this
Secondly, there were so many people at each event surrounding the wedding that we went to that there was nowhere near sufficient air conditioning to keep anyone comfortable (in south georgia)
and finally, to top if off, once we got home (to south/central florida) OUR A/C is broken as well and won't be fixed until tomorrow. Our stove is supposed to be fixed tomorrow too, and we have to finish all our unpacking by Thursday since all the folks are coming to our place Friday for the weekend for my graduation.
AAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
but I had a good time :)
We baby-faces need to stick together...I'll continue to get carded until i'm in my mid-30's i'm sure. Hell, my DAD still got carded last I knew! Not such a big deal to me now, in fact I enjoy it!
I just had to tell you that I think the picture of you when you were little is adorable!!!!!!!
And I hope you keep your youthful looks for ever.

..and yea, I'm with the camp that garfield rocked, voice or no voice. But the voice seemed to fit.
Although Garfield's voice is terribly disappointing, he is still the ultimate comic strip character. NOTHING can "ruin Garfield for life" !!
