The Great Chipmunk Adventure

Ah, Nostalgia.
I'm sure everyone has a movie that they watched over and over again as a child. For me, it was the Great Chipmunk adventure. I loved that show, and would beg my mom to rent it from the library over and over again, and then I would watch it as much as possible while it was rented. I had a book on tape version that I would listen to constantly. I loved that show so much.

You know how sometimes you watch a show you loved as a kid, only to realize it wasn't as good as you thought?
Well, not in this case. I watched The Great Chipmunk adventure again just barely, and it did not disappoint. For being made in the 80s, the animation was really good. The songs were catchy, and the plot was still doable.  I loved watching it again just as much as a child.

For those of you who don't know what the Great Chipmunk Adventure is, it's an Alvin and the Chipmunk movie, back when they were first created. It also had the Chippettes, who were and still are my favorites. It is an adorable movie, and if you ever want to kill an hour and 12 minutes, I would definitely recommend you watch it!

Love and Sparkles,

Labels

If you take a look over to the left (your left), right under my profile, you will see a lovely gadget called "Labels"
This is if you want to look at specific things. Art posts will be tagged "art" and discussion posts will be tagged "discussion post" This way, you can view these things easier at any time.

Also, Just so you know, I suffer from severe anatidaephobia. It's very serious. I don't know how I function normally from day to day with this very crippling fear looming over my head.

Anatidaephobia is the fear that somehow, somewhere in the world, there is a duck watching you.

Love and Sparkles!

FLIP THE FREAKING TABLE

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stupid cliffhanger to be continued episodes!!!!!!!! GRRRRRRR!!
Anyway, I just watched the season premier of "The Mentalist" great tv show, by the way. AND I AM READY TO KILL SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!! (Notice that I said "something instead of "someone" I am going to seriously mangle a piece of paper, so that no innocent bystanders get injured) The episode was great, typical Jane. BUT THEN THE STUPID CLIFFHANGER WHERE YOU DON"T KNOW IF (Spoiler) character was murdered by red john or if he's just trolling. IT'S SO STUPID WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT A WHOLE WEEK TO KNOW THE ANSWER THIS IS KILLING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I love Jane (His name is Patrick, btw, but his last name is Jane so that's what everyone calls him)
He has this big secret, and he told lisbon, and he said "don't tell anyone" But she tells Van Pelt, who then tells Rigsby, who tells Cho, because, in Rigsby's own words, "It wouldn't be fair if he were the only one on the team who didn't know."
But it was funny because the minute Van Pelt walks into the room, Jane sighs and looks at Lisbon and says, "You told her."
HOW AM I GOING TO MAKE IT TO NEXT WEEK???????? I WANT TO KNOW NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN'T KILL OFF (spoiler) IN THE FIRST EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd put Love and Sparkles, but it seems out of place

You're both right, gosh dang it!

Helloo! Long time no see!
Anyway, do you want to know what is confusing?
Archaeology. And not the digging up specimens part. The research and the articles part.
You see, people have to prove their claims of "This specimen proves that X people did Y thing." Anndd... Archaeologists love to prove each other wrong. Fervently and sometimes viciously. It reminds me of a nature video where a pack (School? Flock? Ravage??? Lets call it a ravage) A ravage of Squid (It just fits, no?) Tears apart a fellow ravagemate because it was acting tired. It was brutal.
So, to the point.
My archaeology teacher has us discussing and writing papers about a debate that is still going on today in Archaeology called the Clovis-first debate. This debate is about how early people came over to the Americas. Like a good, non-biased teacher, (She's really great, she never tells us what side she's on in any of the archaeological debate) she assigns readings from prominent archaeologists on both sides of the argument.
The problem?
First, technical articles are hard to read. Especially when they start talking about the bifacial fracturing of the lanceolate clovis points and I'm just like, "It looks like a rock...?"
Second, archaeologists are really good at research.
So, I read one article, and I'm thinking, "Holy cow, this guy is right! The original theory is wrong, they came from the Solutreans. Bingo. Problem solved, give this man an award."
And then, the other article, which is against the Solutrean theory, is amazing. It points out all of the places that the other guy has things wrong, or where he didn't provide all the information, etc. etc. However, all it does is prove him wrong, it doesn't provide a solution.
It's all very confusing, because both of the sides have good points, and it's hard to decide what to believe.

So, here's to confusing technical articles!
