Mirror Mirror

Okay, not really planned out for this blog post, but I have to say that we had an awesome time going to see Mirror Mirror today. I'm really glad we waited for the event today rather than going last night like I originally wanted to do.

Let me outline this insanity:

1) The theatre on post hired Snow White to come to the lobby and take photos with everyone. They also had a really cut photo opp location of a giant, wooden mirror (not sure if that was sent out by Relativity Media, or if the theatre had it constructed special). And the little dwarf helper was passing out goody bags, so the kids started off very happy.


2) Before the showing (and we were at the first showing of the day), the theatre crew came in and did a raffle on the ticket numbers. All four of our tickets ended up being drawn thanks to there being a huge amount of prizes. So, we got a Mirror Mirror "One Bad Apple" T-shirt, snow globe, compact mirror that lights up, and a Disney Store figurine set of Snow White characters.

3) When we left, not only had the lobby put up a bouncy castle, BUT, they also handed out cute little mini posters.

I'm not sure who all arranged this event - whether it was a movie promotion from the studio, the theatre manager, or a combination of the two - but I definitely feel like we got our money out of this price of admission today.

And just a btw, the movie was fabulous, the costumes were amazing, and the plot was something completely new and unexpected. Usually the previews ruin the entire film and tell you everything, but I was pleasantly surprised all around.

Wait Staff - Shut Up!

Alright, I have to admit that crappy waiters/waitresses is a huge pet peeve of mine. I also hate how tipping has become a mandatory idea instead of a reward for good service. Is it just me? Anyone? Anyone else...?

AdSense Update

I never told you guys what happened after I appealed my disabled account. Here's what happened:

Gaming Addition

Here are my thoughts on the topic of gaming addiction (mostly referring to computer/console gaming):


2 Geek Girls also did an episode on this growing epidemic:

My Little Pony Instanity

First, I want to share with you all the easiest way that I've found to detangle synthetic doll/pony hair.

My daughter loves the ponies:


I would love to tell you why this video is so close up, but I have no idea...

Another Thought on Zombies

I posted this vlog after The Walking Dead Season 2 Episode 7 had wrapped up, and this is primarily my review of that half of the season. Again, I forgot to post this up in a relevant amount of time, but, being that the second half of season 2 is very disappointing and boring to me thus far, I'd rather relive happier times anyways.

Military Spouse Pros vs Cons

I sat down and weighed in on my opinion of the pros and cons of being attached to the military lifestyle.

15,000 Views!

Wow, this is another example of a video that I forgot to make room for in my blog posting schedule while the topic was still relevant.

If anyone is keeping score, I am currently at 27,553 views at the time of posting this vlog.

AdSense the Scam

I could vent for hours, but this sums it up. AdSense is a scam, even after being told that I generate invalid click activity, AdWords sent me free advertising coupons! WTF?!

One Greek Store Review

Okay, to summarize what you'll see in the video I am really impressed by the price to quality ratio at One Greek Store.





Here is the link to the hoodie I got (mine is in Kelly Green, but there are lots of colors to choose from), they are $32.99:

This is the large boater tote that I got (my embroidery was on the pocket, the one in the photo is above the pocket), those are $24.99:
http://www.onegreekstore.com/custom-large-boater-tote.html

They also offer an amazingly good package deal offer (website lists the offer good until April 15, 2012). Anyone who shops for Greek merchandise knows that packages can be great, but then they are usually super expensive, and you can also get saddled with items that you weren't too thrilled about.

Well, right now at One Greek Store, they are letting you mix and match your own package (out of the listed items, which I would consider to be the top sellers myself), and the total has to reach $50 - only requirement! Every item in the package, as of today, is under $30, and the t-shirts are just $14 that way. STOCK UP, that is a super deal for something that is so nicely put together! http://www.onegreekstore.com/greek-packages.html


Here are letter colors, embroidery fonts, and additional sew on letter fonts (which is something that I haven't seen very often, so definitely check out the different sew on letters that you can pick out!):

And, just for good measure, here are the garment colors available:

All prices are current as of March 8, 2012, but I can't guarantee that the costs will remain the same forever.

Custom Made by Melissa

I love and still sport my brag bag from Custom Made by Melissa. She has bags available pre-made, custom order, and the rates can vary by whether or not you send her ACUs to work with (which, hey, what else are you going to do with the unserviceable ones, right?).

http://www.custommadebymelissa.com/ is her website, and she is also on Facebook. Please be aware that she only opens orders at certain times, so be sure to get on her contact list, or like her on Facebook, for order dates and details. I don't have this information so please don't ask me - I am just a happy customer and fan!

Crazy Japanese 101 - Syllables Some More

Learn how to pronounce most of the rest of the Japanese syllables (continuation of Crazy Japanese 101 - Syllables).

Please note that I pronounce "wo" phonetically, as I was taught, even though many would pronounce is as "o" (the way it is most often spoken).

SOPA (Quite Late in the Game)

Okay, so I made this in December when SOPA/PIPA were being discussed heavily. Unfortunately, I forgot to make a space for it in my blog posting calendar.

Currently, SOPA is dead in its current form. However, if we do not learn from this event, a similar, or even worse bill, can appear very soon.
