Hey everyone! Part of our Halloween party next week is going to be a "Thriller" dance off competition! Best Michael Jackson impersonation (or best dancer) wins! In order to help you prepare for this epic event, we have included the instructions for the dance. Some of the moves are a little cryptic so we have also included a youtube clip with the dance. Be sure to pass on this information to your roommates and have fun learning! We can't wait to see everyone bust a move next Thursday night!Thriller Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=un3-Hb9wF9sDance Instructions:1) Begin by writhing on the floor. (OK maybe not this part)

Isn't that wonderful? I love the attempted explanations of the dance moves.
P.S. I pretty much hate Halloween.

To whom it may concern
Dear Michael Jackson,
So, I guess it's been a year now.
One year since I heard the news.
It was sad to think about what could have been on the would-be opening night of your London o2 Arena tour. Especially sad because it was going to be the first time your children got to see you perform.
I know they would have liked that.
It was better when the This Is It movie came out! Everyone talked about how great it was - even the haters couldn't deny that you still had it! I saw it 4 times in the theaters, going with different groups of friends each time. You converted some, entertained ALL, and I got to revel in your greatness with some of the most devoted MJ fans I've ever met. :) Even though you probably would have been embarrassed by how personal the movie was, I think it was important that we got to see glimpses of the real you! People sometimes need to be reminded that you are a real person, and not just an icon - that you died a legend, but LIVED as a human with your own ambitions and feelings.
Your death was both tragic and healing.
I’m sad that your children won’t get to continue growing up with their dad. (The world felt a collective heartbreak as Paris explained that you were “the best Dad anyone could ask for” at your funeral.) I’m sad that you couldn’t see your upcoming tour through – that would have made so many people’s dreams come true. Mostly I’m sad that it took your death for people to be nice.
But you’ve gained lots of fans posthumously. That’s good! And because of all the publicity, lots of people have become more aware of all your charitable contributions! So that’s good too.
Even though the situation surrounding your death was less than ideal, I think you’re better off now. I think you’re life was painful in a lot of ways. So now should be a sweet release!
Despite those fictitious rumors in the early 2000’s that you had converted to Islam, it’s come forward since you’re death that you were a devout Christian to the end. It comforts me now to think that you are resting. I genuinely believe that you are in an ethereal place where you are free from mortal pain.
I can’t wait to meet you someday! It’s cheesy to say, but I really am looking forward to it.
Thank you for sharing your music, message, love, and smile with us. The world is better place because you were in it, and isn’t that what we’re all hoping to accomplish with our own lives?
Forever your fan, someday your friend,
Melissa
xoxo

What were YOU thinking???

No more
I used to have a separate dream blog. Then (as in, 45 seconds ago) I decided that that was stupid.
The dreams that I deem funny enough to post at all, are CERTAINLY funny enough for THIS guy (blog).
So I'm going to be recycling those old dream posts as I see fit.
Hey now, don't be MAD! I'm RECYCLING! Don't you want to save the earth? Should I call you BP? You should all be applauding me.
Anyway.
Today's post is an ORIGINAL, never-before-seen dream that my brain conjured up in the early hours of the morning. I remember them best when I wake up in the middle of them. It's probably science or something.
Ready set go
I had a dream that somehow Toy Story 3 got leaked, and showed up on my TV! We all gathered as a family to watch it, because HEY! It's Toy Story 3! Never mind that we could go to an actual theater to watch it. It was the past in my dream, and we didn't want to have to wait until it was released in theaters!
So as we were watching it, we realized that a more appropriate title for the movie would be "Monsters Inc. 2" seeing as how it was actually a Monsters Inc. sequel, not a Toy Story threequel. (That's okay, brain! At least you recognized that they're both Disney/Pixar!)
It was not lighthearted or jovial, as was the first movie. No, this was a sad, gloomy tale about the now-16-year-old (yes, my brain apparently has problems with math, too) "Boo" who has SEVERE social/mental problems.
It was so sad to see her go from this
to this

rough approximation
The story unfolded to chronicle the repercussions of claiming to see monsters and having adventures with them. Her parents had farmed her off to a crazy house. She was too crazy, and was sent back home. So they kept her locked up in her bedroom, and she went berzerk, drawing pictures of Mike Wazowski and "Kitty" - grasping at fragments/figments from her mind's eye.
It was tragic.
Also, she had a retainer. Not quite sure why her parents would have paid for braces... but hey. The rest doesn't make much sense either.

Save the whales, but indulge

I like it quite a bit.
“I literally don’t know where I’d be without it.” (haha, gibe at mormon clichés)
I try to do my part by recycling, using high efficiency appliances, conserving electricity, and not spilling millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf Coast.
At my house, we’ve always had low-volume shower heads. I think they’re great and I totally plan on buying them and using them in my own house someday.
BUT (and it’s a big one)
Whenever I’m on vacation, at a hotel, or visiting my grandma (like right now)...
I don’t let the inefficient shower head make me feel guilty.
I enjoy every SECOND of those massage-like showers.
I’ve concluded that every once in a while,
it’s a nice treat.
