Monthly Randoms April 2021- California Dreams, Neon Pegasus, and So Weird

 Hey friends,

Sorry slowly getting back into the swing of things on here. I have a list of post ideas and then days just blend together and I lose track. So here I'm back with another post! 

You know I do posts where I just talk on things going on or I'm into at the moment, kinda like Running in a Skirt and Austin Kleon does in his newsletter, well I'm going to make that a monthly thing. Once a month generally toward the latter part of the month I'll do a post of random things I wanna talk about from the month. So here's the first one.

Things I want to get:

California Dreams Soundtrack-

Thanks to I'm Stuck in 1999 over on Tumblr I have got a desire to find the California Dreams CD again. Their theme song was amazing and I have a yearning to hear it again. I hope I can get lucky and find one on Amazon or Ebay, or Thrift shopping, cause it's become somewhat of a rarity to find now. If you don't know know who they are California Dreams was a show in the 90's that came on along with Saved by the Bell. It was a bout a band called, you guessed it, California Dreams. As someone who use to want to do music as a career this was a favorite thing for me to watch. 

The "Lunar" Box from TheraBox-

I came across the Therabox thanks to Facebook ads, thinking about doing a post or more on some of my finds through these ads, and I am drooling over the "Lunar" box from the site. There's a few things in this box that I'd like to have. There's the Aminnah Skincare: Stardust Skies whipped body butter that just looks pretty, I'd almost be afraid to use it, but it sounds like it'd be awesome on my dry elbows. I also like the Happy Shoppe Manifest Your Dreams Notepad. I just think it'd been something I'd like to try.

Posi Vibes Fortune-Telling Dice by Rose Lazar-

Another site I came across thanks to Facebook ads is Smudge and they had a Posivibes kit that included these cute fortune telling dice. I was more interested in this dice so I found them being sold alone

Rainbow Keyboard and Mouse-

When I was shopping around for a new computer tower on Walmart I came across this Rainbow Keyboard and Mouse set. This is my dream keyboard/mouse set up. Then when I was pricing a tower in person at Best Buy I saw one in person. It was so beautiful.

Wonder Woman Mini Comics-

Wonder Woman is my top superhero. Well there's some mini comics of hers I wanna find.

Wonder Woman and the Star Riders vs. Purrsia #1- The first one I know I had at one point, it's probably kicking around my stored collection, but if not I wanna get it again because this was my very first Wonder woman comic. In 1993 Kellogg's Cinnamon Mini Buns Cereal had mini comics in their cereal. My sister I remember had the Flash one, he's one of her favorite superheroes, and I got Wonder Woman. I do hope I find it, so I don't have to pay out the nose to replace it.

General Mills cereals Justice League mini comics and cereal box - In searching for the previously mentioned comic I learned in 2017 General Mills released special edition Justice league boxes with one of four comics inside. I'd like to have gotten the Wonder Woman box and at least one comic for the Wonder Woman portion of my collection.  

Music I'm jamming to:

Neon Pegasus by Perry Gripp- Once upon a bologna sandwich my friend sent me a link to this music video telling me it reminded her of me. I loved it. Well earlier this month got to listening to it a lot again. The Neon Pegasus is definitely my aesthetic, dark and colorful, and so my Patronus, though unlike in the video my Pegasus would have neon stars on it's flank. 

How Do You Do (Pop Airplay Edit)- Cascada- Probably my favorite Cascada song. This is the only version I've found on Spotify so far, that I like,  that has all the lyrics.

If I Ruled the World- Big Time Rush with Iyaz- I've been jamming to this lately. I just wanna get up an dance to it, yeah I know it's from an old Nickelodeon show, but I'm the type is I jam to whatever music stirs my heart up.

The rest of the music is I guess what you'd call Supernatural adjacent.

Angel With a Shot Gun- The Cab- Poking around the Supernatural internet spaces I heard this song mentioned a few times by Destiel shippers. I finally gave it a listen. This. Is. An. Awesome. Song! I'm like rocking out so hard to it I'm getting weird looks from people when they see me do it.

Crazy Love- Jason Manns -So I've heard the through my fellow Supernatural peeps that Jenson Ackles sang this song. Well recently in my suggest Youtube videos I saw this video in which Jenson joins Jason Manns in singing it. So figuring no version of their's existed I found the original Van Morrison version and would listen to it. Well I discovered Manns had a Spotify page so I went and looked and he does have his version of the song on there, sadly not the version with Jenson.

 The Joker- Jason Manns and Jenson Ackles- I use to watch That 70's Show and there was a musical episode that included the gang singing this song, and I liked it. Well found the original version by the Steve Miller Band and listen to it, well few days ago was exploring what Jason Mann had to offer and found a version with Jenson Ackles. I love it! If you love Jenson's singing, this is a great song that displays that.

Things to Watch:

As we all know Disney has it's own streaming service, well in some of their commercials for it I knew they were going to show the old Disney Channel Movies I watched growing up. Well I wondered if they would be showing the older Disney channel original series from like when they first started doing that. Basically wondering if they were going to show So Weird my favorite of all original Disney Channel programming, well I've discovered they are! Sadly I can't afford streaming services, but knowing when/if I do stuff like this is possible to see again. If you've never seen it check it out. It's about a girl who travels the country with her rock star Mom, and come across the strange things of the universe. It also had amazing music, but sadly this predated the days Disney Channel made soundtrack CDs for the TV shows and movies. *pouts*

Favorite of my Instagram Saves:

Each month I'll try to share a link or two to my favorite Instagram saves. Well this month I'm sharing my favorites of all I've saved thus far.

The first one is from this month that the Pioneer Woman put out on or around Easter. I think it's just cute. This dog nose surrounded by beautifully colored eggs. It's just cute.

Jenna Ezarik, iJustine's sister, captures this beautiful beach view, I'd love to see sunset on the west coast.

My peeps at Morgan's comics shared this Skittles quote from Morgan Albritton, very deep and true.

Musician/Singer SJ Tucker has a beautiful new guitar I'm drooling over.

My Fur niece making the weirdest faces on a mini road trip a while back.

A little Junk G knowledge for those star shaped people.

Things that are annoying me:

People who decide to blast people for what they like, or telling people there's something not right about a person if they love something.  I've covered this on some of the socials, and at this point of the night/morning my frustration has burned down a bit, but it still bugs me.

Dang finally got through that. I've been writing on this for hours. Not only is there a lot of links to go through where I guess I'm on the high side of my newly officially diagnosed Bipolar 2 disorder, they'd only called it a mood disorder not wanting to misdiagnosed me, but since this is my second major high episode, my therapist is pretty sure I have that on top of everything else my mental health hydra goes through, yes another head ya'll. But I did it, and I hope you like. What are somethings you doing right now? Let me know in the comments. 

I hope you have a good weekend, embrace your tribe, and God bless you!

Of Spooky Late Night Searches

Happy Saturday Friends,

I hope you all are having a good Halloween season, I have been munching on Oreo's Halloween cookies, and eyeing the caramel apples. Last Saturday I attended a Pumpkin Festival, I'll post about that day as soon as I get my sister's pics. But today I wanna share a little creepy research fun I ended up having earlier this month.

It all started one late October night when I checked the peeps I follow on YouTube and this video from LarenZSide popped up where she's looking at spooky things sent to her by her users. Some of them to sound and look creepy I will say, but the one that intrigued me was a pic of a Subway sign that said you couldn't use Ouija boards of do seances there.

Well I wanted to show Fangirl this, but I didn't want her to see all the video so I searched the web to see if I could find the pic, well I not only manage to find the pic on the Food For Thought post, but they tell the story behind the sign. Apparently it's an old building that may already be haunted and they don't wanna open a can of supernatural worms... Smart thinking. I use to own one of the Parker Brothers® ones that a neighbor girl gave me cause I thought it was awesome, but then heard way to many stories, so I gave it to Fangirl who's gonna make art out of it, or use it for decoration. I'm weird I think their beautiful and cool looking, but I'm not gonna use one and risk calling up something I can't get rid of.

Watching that video taking the info from that and doing that late night search it put me in the mind of Fiona Phillips from So Weird. Particularly the Vampire episode from season two when she pulls an all night research session on the title creature. Do any of you guys remember that old Disney Channel show, it was awesome, they really need to release it on DVD or something.

*insert cheesy vampire accent* Vell my friends. I hope you all have a good veekend full of spooky fun. Stay safe and God bless you!
