Watching the Nostalgia Critic talk about the Zelda cartoon, I suddenly got memories of this commercial.   And the fact that youtube has multiple entries of this….magic.  And I love the fact that if you type “zelda commercial” the word “rap” will come up. 

This takes me back to saturday morning and eating cocoa puffs.

What’s there to be said?  All we can do now is make our donations to the appropriate people (and keep vigilant of the scammers) and hope that the volunteers and organizations do their best to give Haiti a stable structure.

And Pat Robertson and Rush Limbaugh?  I pity you.

Marilyn by Andy Warhol
(I’m Catherine Holt and if you click on the slideshow, you can see me on photos 5-6. I’m on the right wearing a black hat, purple shirt, and brown leather jacket.

I went to the opening of the Bechtler Museum in my hometown. This was a big deal because we now have the best of the best of the Modern art era such as Warhol, Picasso, and a Degas. Got a chance to talk to Andreas Bechtler himself, the man who donated all the art to this museum. That was because he was friends with an artist that I wrote an essay and I’m going to try and get noticed for it. Since the modern era is an era I concentrate on the most, I took my mom around explaining who and what the artworks and artists were about. We overhear a journalist wanting to talk to the visitors on what they thought about the museum, so I went up and made my statement.

Woman in a hat by Picasso

And in other news, saw the new Sherlock Holmes….mmmm…nekkid Robert Downey.  Plus I love London in the 1800s.  It was so disgusting in all it’s delight.



And a happy new year to you all…
