I was stuck in the rain having to go an appointment and waiting for the bus. Ideally I would have wanted to stay home in my warm bed all day. I had to walk slowly and carefully. I didn't want to purposely walk in puddles or fall. Sometimes I fall on dry ground. It's embarrassing. My dad was mad because I didn't wear my boots. I lost them in the abyss of my closet. I thought I could take the rain kinda. I endured the rainy years of  1991, 1992, 1997, 1998, and 2004 or was it 2005? One of my biggest fears in riding the bus in a heavy rainstorm is that I'll get stranded somewhere. It has happened to me before. I really didn't want to wear my boots because I slip in them. And sometimes they bring me bad luck. Well they didn't when I used them for a Halloween costume. I used to like to wear them when I played Rock Band. I think they helped coax out my inner rock star that only came out when I played Rock Band with my cousins because I was not very good at playing the fake instruments. I played all the fake guitars like a keyboard on my lap pressing the buttons. Then I realized I was really good at the songs I knew by heart. Once I memorized the song intonations I was really good at it. I'm not sure if I have the courage to particpate in Karoke with strangers. I know I can't sing, and I'm not the supendious singer who lacks confidence. Actually they were an ill advised purchase I made back in college in 2002, and I don't wear them much. Plus I tripped in them, no make that accidentally fell down a flight of stairs in 2004 in them. My mom had suggested to me to get rain boots. I thought they would be really hard to find this time of year. Stupid me! I could just look for some online. Are the stores stocking the bikinis again? Why do stores stock bikinis in the winter or close to the winter, and it's not old stock?

I noticed my old messenger bag from walmart circa 2000 isn't color fast. I was mad I forgot my bag of colored pens I like to take with me. I like writing in different colored pens

I almost missed my bus stop. I couldn't find all the landmarks I saw the first time I rode that route. It was too rainy and the bus' windows were all fogged up. I couldn't remember the name of the intersection. I ended up listening to "Won't Be Long" at the same bus stop again. It was strange I heard it the last time I was there. I didn't queue up the song or anything. I thought I saw a homeless guy with a mossy beard, but he was just wearing a green surgical mask.

I have to say we still overreact to the rain here. What are we made of sugar? Or maybe we are all the Wicked Witch of the West. Did you know in the books she had 1 eye? Then I was thinking how do they handle the rain in other places where it rains a lot or even *gasp* snow!?

When I got to the last stop the song "The Sun and the Rain" by Madness came on and I was singing along with. I was alone, so I didn't care. I think "The Sun and the Rain" has to be my favorite Madness song or at least one of them. I have to go to this orientation meeting thing. There were no cell phone people there. I guess they don't work in the rain. It started late again, but I'm not surprised. Does anything they do ever occur on time there? It just seems like the more I go to them the more they suck. It's all smoke and mirrors and propaganda. I wanna get back to college so badly. All these "programs" they offer to help people get jobs in my experience really don't exist. I know because I asked about them. The worst thing was that the facilator could not even answer questions. I just don't want to go back to hell; I mean Job Club.

I tried kastup on a taco. I was awful! Kastup on a beef taquito is worse! Somebody made a reference to the song "It Never Rains in Southern California". I'm familiar with the Tony! Toni! Tonè! version. What happened to that group? I like "If I had no Loot". On the ride home I was hoping not to hydroplane. I was thinking about what happened to Marc Summers.

After I thought about it I was reminded of the bad rain storm I endured back when I went to a taping of the Late Late show. In the end  it was doubly worth it because I got to see Shirley Manson in person again, and I sounded smart in front of my writing class about a book I never read. I totally George Costanzaed that thing.

My dad thought I was sad because I was hunched over my bear pillow blasting "NYC Winter" through it. I think the pillow is breaking. I think I might need another pillow. :( I played "Fliptop Twister" for my mom, and she thought was a country song. LOL! ;P

On my walk I saw 2 squirrels. Usually the squirrels represent saving money, and sometimes when I see them they are good luck. I also found 2¢. I think I have built up a little more tolerance for walking, but it's not much. I thought what I needed to do was going to take a lot longer than it did. Then I saw a "help wanted" sign in a diner window. I thought I could get hired immediately like that "Meet Virginia" video by Train.

They were looking for cooks. I can't do that!
I bought this really cute advent calendar with bears on it. I hope the chocolate tastes good.

The performance on the Voice was ok for Gwen. I gotta say though I love the single's cover! So kawaii! I want a "Spark the Fire" print HL purse! Why is there usually product placement in her videos now? I think a good product would have been to use Shopkins. I'm disappointed the video was not animated.

It's the end of the month I guess I was pretty prolific with the blog writing this month. You know that those plastic tattoo chokers are back in style? I should dig my old one out from the 90s. It's vintage. I remember when that trend came out. It was around the time Pokemon was starting to become popular in the US. Late '98 early '99.

I saw that loud neighbor lady I thought she'd be taller. She is short. Why does it seem like many short people are loud? I guess after being tall as a kid and a short adult I usually am quiet. I don't want to be noticed much.

When I saw Pentaonix on tv I couldn't remember their name. I was calling them "Punxsutawney". I'm all like "I want to listen to Punxsutawney!" Punxsutawney is the name of a groundhog! I'm getting old!

I saw an old dubbed anime called Prince Planet. It's in black and white. It's cute and funny.

I had this strange thought which may or may not be a teaser about a blog. I was thinking when did I become so concerned about fashion and being stylish? I mean I remember it was important to me when I was a kid, but I really can't remember when. If I remember I wrote something about this. Besides that I thought my approach to blogging is quite chaotic. I usually don't sit there and plan things out. Unless there is a topic I was thinking about for a long time or I had written something before and it fits into the blog or I wanted post. I find writing scraps useful.

My dad wasn't upset this Thanksgiving that the Raiders lost because they didn't play this year on Thanksgiving. They played last Thursday against the Chiefs and won their first game of the season against a division rival.

I had big breakfast this morning big mistake! I'm sad because I have to eat boring and healthy Thanksgiving food. :(

Not to gloat about the weather here, but it was very hot today like it was last year. By 11AM my whole complex smelled like turkey.

Usually now when I watch the parade it's usually a lot of musical acts I've never heard of. I counted there were about 12 of them. While my mom was cooking she was getting into that Adam Sandler Thanksgiving song that was on the radio. It was funny! The Red Mighty Morphin Power Ranger balloon was nostalgic. According to the parade commentary Hello Kitty and Kiss are both 40! Remember that Hello Kitty Kiss (the band) merchandise? Then I was thinking about how much Kiss' arena football team wasn't very good. The best part of the parade was when this girl with a marching band fell right in front of the camera. I couldn't stop laughing.

I love that new pikachu balloon! Pikachu holding a snow chu! I reminded me of that Pikachu's Winter Vacation video.

I gotta draw that! I feel inspired! If my enthusiasm is not showing enough I got really excited when I saw it on tv. I like it better than the one of pikachu running on all fours with the light up cheeks. The 1st pikachu the upright standing one that debut in 2001 is my 2nd favorite now. It's good to see that Macy's is using better quality paint because during some years that it rained or snowed the paint got all runny and everybody who performed on it turned green from it. Papa Smurf was really hammin' it up on that float. Jimmy Fallon didn't appear in the parade this year.

After I thought about it I think I like the dog show better than the parade now. I like to wager with myself which group will be shown first. I was hoping it would be the toy group; my favorite! It was the hound group. I'm a gambling, but I like to wager with myself on which dog will win the group and eventually the whole show. If it had started back when I was a little kid I think I still would have loved to watch it. It debuted when I was 17. I think I wrote about it for my senior English class. I like to try and identify all the breeds before the announcers say the name of the breed. The Bloodhound won!

My mom let me eat some raw stuffing which is essentially bread crumbs. My mom likes to eat the uncooked stuffing when butter is poured on it. She says it is softened by the butter. I like it, but it is not as good as the raw bread crumbs. I had my Funyuns too. I gotta have those!

Watched some of the Twilight Zone marathon. I watched "Time Enough at Last" I wanted make a poster referencing that in high school art class, but I guess that idea was too abstract. I watched "It's a Good Life" and "To Serve Man". I wish I had powers like Anthony I'd send people to the cornfield.
Took a nap before I ate got full eating turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce.

That Fox dog special reminded me of the pet adoption segments during the Barker era Price is Right when they would have an item up for bid and an animal that needed to be adopted.

Well I thought I had an expired extended warranty on the computer, but I guess I didn't. Now I'm not sure what we purchased along with it if it was not an extended warranty. What was it?

Maybe I should take a computer repair class. I could be helpful and money making. My friend took a computer class and back when the economy was good he got a job out of it. I know it might not count, but it wouldn't hurt either. I don't even care about getting a job well I mean not like that, but since the class wouldn't count I still don't feel it would be a waste of time. It's not like I'm taking educational advice from my dad or cousin anymore. That's how I wasted a half of a semester at a community college using my own money taking classes that counted towards nothing.

I'm posting "Thank You Thanksgiving!" on facebook too because why not? And that idea is not bad! ;P

I really need a break this Thanksgiving I've been running around everywhere collecting things I need for my case. I've walked 3 days in a row and I'm tired. I haven't built up a tolerance up for walking yet.

I saw that new show on PBS Kids; Odd Squad. It's ok. I think I would have liked it better when I was 8. It has its funny moments, but it seems a little too absurd to me. I don't know if I would call it the spiritual successor to Mathnet yet. It reminds me more of Get Smart. I think I'll watch a few more episodes before I make a judgement, but I'm not in the target demographic. I didn't like the revival of The Electric Company very much. That show seemed a lot like Ghostwriter, and I didn't appreciate that.

I'm giving up on finishing up my financial aid application for college this year since I'll have to fill out another one in January anyway. I'll have to gather all the paperwork again anyway. My health care is back as of December 1st, but my grievance was denied. I'm happy I wasn't stuck with a big hospital bill.

I realized an important thing. The 492 is still an unrelyable bus line. I think it's too long it goes from El Monte to Montclair. I think it needs to be chopped in half. It seems to be late a lot.

So I thought my return to the DPSS office would be somewhat harmless. Boy was I wrong! I thought I would get out of there in say an hour or 2. It took me 4! Actually that is pretty tame most of the time. I think the longest I've been in there was 6 hours or was it 8? I saw a cute fat baby there. Supposedly there was a worker who was missing becuase of "jury duty"; sounds suspicious to me!

The other important thing i realized was not to ever go to the DPSS office around Thanksgiving time.

After I thought about my obession with those turkey loaf things I remember I had posted turkey loaf recpies on myspace. I think I have the printed blog, a hard copy. Somewhere... I'll have to find it. I miss those blogs; a lot! They were just so random sometimes. I wish I would have saved more of them. Oh well. I still have some ideas archived by hand on paper. Part of me missed myspace a little too. All those guady layouts, duck face, side bangs, pictures of asses, bad coding, and all those quiz results.

I was thinking about Kittie and BABYMETAL. Remember Kittie? Some of those members have to be like 30 now. Anyway they were similar, but you know not all kawaii and stuff.

UTB is showing a Lupin movie for New Years as part of their special programming! They are showing The Castle of Caliostro. I was hoping they would show the My Little Nightmare movie, but I'm not gonna complain. I used to write a lot about Lupin on my blogger blog. There are at least 7 blogs about the show. 1,2,3,4,5,6, and 7.

I had to take the bus to the DPSS office. I don't remember where all the bus stops are they got changed a while ago and I keep forgetting where they were moved to. The first bus I got on was really crowded. There were a lot of people on there with luggage. Nobody was using the luggage racks! That's what they put them in the bus for! Did you know Colorado Place intersects with Colorado Blvd? It's like the nexus of the universe like in the Seinfeld episode "The Maid". It was really confusing when the automatic signs that say the stops and display them said that. When I got off at my stop that google maps told me to get off at I didn't know where I was. Some place in Pasadena. The only reason I knew that was because I was by the Sprouts market.

When I got on the Metro bus it was a newer style bus. I noticed the bus didn't have a tv in it like they usually do. I was confused I didn't see a chain to pull for when you want to get off. I kept searching around to see one. I was watching what the people were doing on the bus to signal they wanted to get off the bus. They weren't yelling at the driver. Then I noticed somebody press a button on one of the hand rails. I figured in a crowded bus that could accidentally get pushed. At least it won't be like when open windows are ajar and hit the stop chain. I passed a bunch of old landmarks when I used to live in the area in the late 80s early 90s. Including the Kmart which is still going strong there. That one and another by the mall are the last 2 in the area. According to my personal experience and yelp combined. I noticed that Metro bus I got on goes by where Job Club was *shudders*.

When I got to the office those annoying government cell phone people were there harassing people. I don't want one unless they start giving smart phones. I'd even settle for a qwerty keyboard one. They are always hiring for people to do that job online but you need to be Spanish bilingual. When I got there I was seen so fast they didn't even give me time to fill out the first form they give you. The other forms they gave me I was breezing through. I even had time to read some of the Sailor Moon manga I brought with me, and get some writing done. My name was called and I perked up I thought I was going to be seen by a worker, but no I was told I would not be seen until 1:30PM which was about 2 hours later. I had 2 hours to burn I decided to go to Jack in the Box.

At Jack in the Box I had a Croissant Donut I wanted to try one and see what all the fuss is about these things. It wasn't that good it was just a hollow puffy donut. I like dense donuts unless they are jelly. According to this review the real ones are filled. This is the 2nd trendy food they released their Bacon Insider burger was a knockoff of a Slater's 50/50 burger. I just really liked bork.

Why not combine the 2 and make a Croissant Donut Bacon Insider burger? That would be really trendy! In their chicken sandwiches they are skimping on the meat. The patty inside was so small. It was like a "Where's the beef?" type sandwich or in this case "Where's the chicken?" I guess after all that "healthy" eating I can't handle fast food like I used to. I was feeling sick and bloated. I thought I needed to combat this by eating a bunch of celery or something.

I was eventually seen by a worker at 2PM. Now I gotta go back on Tuesday. I think I'll take another bus route.

My dad happened to see that new episode of the Goldbergs about Beverly and Erica making Thanksgiving dinner together. I think I'd handle it like Barry.

He wanted to know if I was interested in cooking Thanksgiving dinner with my mom. If I did handle Thanksgiving dinner by myself they would end up eating one of those frozen turkey loaf things. I love those! I'm obsessed with them. Seriously. I've come up with so many unconventional recipes for them! I've made sandwiches with them and put the meat in a scrambled egg. I don't like the one that is light and dark meat. It breaks apart too easily. Or some smoked turkey legs I get at the supermarket deli. I'd leave out bread crumbs to snack on because I like to eat those. I like uncooked stuffing which is essentially bread crumbs or croutons. Depends on how you look at it.

But what is really funny when people who don't know me well think I like to cook or bake because my mom does. Um...yeah I'd rather draw a picture of food than make something.

Since BABYMETAL is like the group to like. I thought they would help me like metal more. I heard that if you don't like metal they will help you like it.
I'm not sure how I feel about them. I want to like them. I don't hate them or anything. Maybe I need to listen to more of their songs to get a feel for them.

Then I was thinking if somebody from another country did this would people be as receptive to it? Like what if they had an English language counterpart group? Who did pretty much the same thing, but in English.

This is the theme song to Akumu-chan aka as My Little Nightmare in English. If you haven't seen this show you should watch it. Especially if you like Sailor Moon. I watched this show earlier this year. The local Japanese station showed it. In the late winter early spring. It's about dreams. The episodes about the child models and the ballet class are pretty creepy. And you get to find out about Yumenoke. It took me a while to realize that the group who sang the theme song to this show also sings the Sailor Moon Crystal theme song.

It's ok I know I'm a little slow. I'd like to see the movie.
