Wednesday Wisdoms with Steph!
December 9th, 2009The Post-It Place is proud to announce that there will be a new segment on Wednesdays. This segment will be brought to you by that adorable niece of mine that I call College Kid. She is hip, she is fashionable, she is fun and she is adorable. I think after you all meet her you will agree and learn to love her as much as I do. So…without further ado…here is Steph with today’s Wednesday Wisdom post:
Soooo….one morning I was eating my cereal and it was pretty average (for all you MLIA fans out there) and for those of you who don’t know what MLIA is, its “My Life Is Average.com” People post random things on there all the time that happen to them. Just average things and usually they are pretty hilarious if I do say so myself. Anyways…eating my cereal. I poured my cereal into the bowl that said my name real cute in the bottom and it has a picture of a clown. Don’t be hatin’. I like that bowl. Got it when I was like 7 but still….it’s a keeper. Anywho… so I’m pouring my cereal. Dooo do do do doooo….. pour the milk….. and BAM! That was one beautiful bowl of cheerios. Then I got to thinking. Hmm…. Milk. I wonder who ever decided “Hey, I wonder who the first person was to look at a cow and say, I think I’ll squeeze those dangly things and drink whatever comes out.” This my friends is a wonderful and disgusting thought to ponder. Sick freaks out there I tell ya. Better watch your back. So then I posted this on my facebook status (because that’s what all the cool kids do and I thought I was pretty clever/funny). My friend brought up the idea of lobster along with this whole milk fiasco. I mean seriously, who saw a lobster and said “you see the huge red cockroach in the ocean? I’m gonna Throw it in hot water and eat its butt”!!! Maybe we should start thinking about these things more often. Anyway, my cereal was delish. I ate it all and drank the milk too (trying not too think too much about the creeper who did this first) which revealed my name and the clown smiling at me again. I guess I made a happy plate like all the cheesy mom’s tell their kids. (…bowl actually in my case. But you get the point). Have a Happy Wednesday and I will catch ya next week. TaTa!
iCarly
September 5th, 2009
In case you have never seen it, iCarly is a TV series about 3 teenagers who make a web-show. They do it on their own without any adult assistance. They use technology like green screens, video camera, a sound effect machine and computers. There are no rules when it comes to their web-show titled “iCarly”. Every web-show focuses on something new and they try their best to do funny and outrageous things to attract more viewers. Sometimes landing themselves in a mess. iCarly has grown into TV’s No. 1 series among kids (ages 2 to 11) and tweens (ages 9 to 14), drawing an average 5.6 total million viewers to new episodes. So how did Carly do it? She’s got the Web working with her instead of against her.
By design, “iCarly” is the only kids’ show plugged seamlessly into the online world, a playing field populated by blurbs of random, often outrageous comedy. Series creator Dan Schneider has been savvy enough to plot the “iCarly” Web segments as randomly as any teen would their YouTube channel.
During the show-within-a-show webcasts, which the characters film in Carly’s attic, Carly and her friend Sam (Jennette McCurdy) demonstrate making chicken soup in a toilet. They create trailers spoofing teen movies (you can actually find “Kelly Cooper, Terrible Movie” making the rounds on YouTube). They morph Carly’s head on to a picture of Sam’s rabid cat. They improvise short sketches with names like “The Cowboy With a Mustache and the Idiot Farm Girl Who Thought the Mustache Was a Squirrel.”And, iCarly also has it’s own real website where you can read blogs, see photos, play games, send in your own videos and watch bonus videos that are not on the TV show.
iCarly: Season 2, Volume 1 (Nickelodeon)
In Stores: 8/18/09
Carly, Sam and Freddie keep the camera and the laughs rolling in an all new season of Nickelodeon’s hit show-within-a-show — iCarly: Season 2, Volume 1 on DVD. Starring tween sensation Miranda Cosgrove, the latest installment of the groundbreaking series finds Carly and Sam vying for the same guy, iCarly’s first web award nomination and the kiss that shocked the world - all while crankin’ out the best web show out there on iCarly.com! Created by Nickelodeon Home Entertainment and distributed by Paramount Home Entertainment, iCarly Season 2, Volume 1 will be available August 18, 2009, for the suggested retail price of $26.99.
iCarly Season 1, Volume 2 features 12 new-to-DVD episodes, along with the making of the first iCarly TV movie “iGo To Japan” and behind-the-scenes extras. The set also includes an exclusive CD single featuring a song from Miranda Cosgrove’s new album hitting stores later this year.
I have to say…We all LOVE iCarly. And have since the first time that we saw it. iCarly is just a great show that is funny, yet wholesome…a great all around show that even as an adult I like, but the kids love…and in this house, that is rare to find.
We have already watched these DVD’s over and over again. Call us addicted, but you can bet that at least once a day iCarly:Season 2, Vol.1 will be on and kids will be laughing. Thanks Nickelodeon for such a great show!
