Safari Time with Christine

| Viciously Sweet

Many moons ago Christine desired to travel the world with her sign languaged enabled chimp friend “Mr. Yoyo”

She thought it would be just like The Jungle Book, but then discovered that it was nothing really like that at all.

And that in real jungles there are real volcanos. 

So she instead sold Mr Yoyo and watched “Arrested Development.”

THE END.

Waxy Buildup

| Viciously Sweet

Yesterday, Madame Tussaud’s exhibited their latest wax figure, of non celebrity Kim Kardashian.

I think this means that Madam Tussaud’s has officially ran out of people to make into wax statues of. Because this was totally unneccessary.

My sister and I have compiled a list of more deserving “celebrities” to make that waxy leap:

1. Television starlet and media mogul, Judge Judy:

2. Steve Buscemi, we prefer his look from the wedding singer:

3. Brother of Charlie Sheen and mighty duck aficionado Emilio Estevez:

4. Reality TV darling Flavor Flav, hopefully in this pose:

5. The Jackson 5’s cuddly and adorable Marlon Jackson, in a member’s only jacket:

6. Superfreaky Rick James (but not the mary jane girls)

7. Wouldn’t you love to grab your price scanner and get a photo with Flo from Progressive?

8. The whitest and nerdiest Weird Al:

9. How about the Stay Puft Marshmallow man from Ghostbusters?

10. And finally the scandalous and sexiest boat captain alive… the Gorton’s fisherman:

The San Fernando Trail

| Viciously Sweet

Today Jimmy has to travel the world. He has to travel out of the valley and to the glimmering Long Beach coast.

I imagine his unusual journey as an event similar to the Oregon Trail.

The first screen would be Jimmy leaving his office:

You’d have to stack up on supplies like Tea, and CD’s

And then you of course consult the map:

You may have to forge the LA River.

Oh no you were caught by a seal! Are you prepared??

You have lost one wheel and two bottles of Tea.

Did you have seal repellant? If not you, you have now lost your hand.

Continue:

You have encountered traffic, please wait.

45 minutes later:

30 minutes later:

You arrived at Long Beach.

I saw the Sign

| Viciously Sweet

I thought I would share my favorite sign in the Burbank area:

picture from laist.com

I am such a fan of modern signage and aesthetics, and this was one of the many things I loved about going to school in Burbank. And this sign had all the colors shapes and design to make me goo goo for it. On any especially stressful day, passing this sign can make almost anything better.

Fun Fact: This motel is used a lot as a crime scene on CSI! And it was used as a filming location for Apollo 13.

Across the street from here is a comic book store where you can meet Spongebob, no lie. It’s called the House of Secrets…

They have a lot of art from Ragnar there:

As an epilogue I must show my favorite thing in Burbank…

The fountain at the Valley Pumping Plant:

That fountain is my obsession.
