“I told you there was a song about snacks!”

Posted on December 23, 2011| 2 Comments

I’m Jewish, but I celebrate Christmas as well. I grew up celebrating both Christmas and Chanukah because while most of my family is Jewish, my maternal grandfather was Lutheran, and I just love all the lights and joy, it’s not just a ploy to get more presents. Christmas time for me means watching Will Vinton’s Claymation Christmas Celebration. Made in 1987, it’s a look back at when animation involved a whole lot more than sitting at a computer.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not putting down CGI artists, I know that can be intense time-consuming work as well, but I miss the days where more things were drawn and created by hand, not just with a mouse and keyboard.

Thanks to YouTube, you can watch this Special if you’ve never seen it, or like me, remember watching it as a kid. I own it on DVD, but I’m glad I found it online so I can post it here for others to watch. Happy Holidays, everybody!

The Los Angeles Zoo has tiger cubs!

Posted on December 16, 2011| Leave a comment

On Saturday, August 6th 2011, the Zoo’s female Sumatran tiger, Lulu, gave birth to three male cubs. The cubs made their debut to the public on December 9th, Mom and I went and saw them yesterday! We stood there for a long time watching them, Lulu kept pacing around and lightly roaring, probably hungry since it was close to feeding time. One cub kept running around her trying to get her to play, and at least one other cub was fast asleep. The third cub was either also asleep, or just where I couldn’t see him, because I only noticed two. Apparently one cub is on a completely different schedule than the rest, which is good for those of us who want to see them but not good for poor Lulu who’s stuck with hyper cubs all day and night.

I took a bunch of pictures but unfortunately my camera’s not the best, so a lot of them are either just not very good or the tigers are too blurred to use, but I took some good ones and got a couple videos as well.

Five years on YouTube!

Posted on August 28, 2011| 1 Comment

Five years ago today, I signed up with an account on YouTube as omgheatherface. It’s all been downhill ever since. Thank you to all my fans, especially the ones who’ve been around for years. Those of you who are newer fans are still awesome, just not as awesome. Not yet. But you will be, just wait.
