Amanda HockingSad Day/Good Day
A couple things. One sad. One good.
First sad: Despite pledging my devotion to Mike on Dancing with the Stars and posting the call-in number on twitter and Facebook, he did not get enough votes to stay on. And now I am sad. Because he endeared himself to me. He doesn’t seem like he’d be super adorable, but he really is.
| Mike on DWTS – you will be missed |
Oh well, I’ll just throw all my support behind Macchio, since he’s going to win DWTS.
Good thing: I ran an impromptu caption contest on Twitter and Facebook last week. I said who ever came up with the cleverest response would win a signed copy of a book. I based my decision solely on how much I laughed upon reading the caption.
Here’s the picture:
And here’s the winning tweet:
The caption is especially fitting, because although you can’t tell, I am in fact wearing a Star Wars shirt in the picture. It was this shirt, actually (from Threadless.com):
Thanks to everyone for participating in that. I had a lot of fun reading what everyone had to say, and I think I’ll be doing more of that kinda stuff in the future. Because it was fun. And I enjoy fun things.

But, with the globalization, wedding dresses tend to be alike in the whole world.
That shirt makes me think of “Where The Wild Things Are” (the movie). It was much, much better than I thought it would be. I loved the book as a kid, but c’mon, a two hour movie based on a 20 page book?
I’m not gonna lie. I had teary eyes.
*ahem* I haven’t watched any episodes yet…they’re all on DVR. I had a short story to get done and I just couldn’t. Now the story’s done and I can have a nice marathon. Yay!
I’m looking forward to more captioning WAY more than the gorgeous cat is 🙂
Um, and pardon the geek alert but the colour balancing in that compostion – the blue of books, the shirt, the curtain, not to mention the brown of cat and couch – are fantastic

Re: Star Wars – I have the theatre magazines with each of the original trilogy on the covers. I dressed as Princess Leia for Halloween (twice) with the danishes on my head.
