Translation Fail

If you're like me, when you watched Disney's newest movie Tangled, you thought to yourself "I must have one of those flying wish lanterns!"  So for Christmas, my boyfriend ordered some from China.  They are super awesome!  They're just big, white, paper balloons that look like a weird condoms with wires to hold the square-of-flammable-substance in place.  Before you light it up, you can write your wishes (or draw random cartoons of your cats) on the lantern so that the wish gods in the sky will read it and hopefully smile upon your pathetic human soul. 
But equally as entertaining was the packaging.  The lantern was neatly folded up in this plastic wrapping with Chinese symbols written all over it.  On closer look, we saw there was English translation underneath the Chinese.  To our amusement, the translation was REALLY bad...as follows....

Wishing Light
Wishing light operating instructions
1. After the distribution of fuel to packaging equipment Kong Cross wire in the side of the field again deduction presses.  The fuel-pressure lock firmly.
2. A person wishing light take up a Top; Another person fuel ignited the four angle.
3. Make sure the heat enough light, lanterns person lest loose top hand, changes grips under the light to encircle, Has when the lifting force may let go releases for flying.

3. Wishing light are on the rise, that of the flying, cannot the long time put, and the Flight not be append the foreign body.
4. Children must be under the eustody of the adults use. 

Declaration: Wishing light for the flying, because of environmental ingredient such as improper use of security incidents caused by the release of the commitment.  Production enterprises, vendors, transport operators, without any responcilibity.  You use both, then you understand and accept on behalf of the declaration. 


That's exactly how its printed on the packaging.  Hilarious, no?  So we've learned that Chinese does not translate into English well.  That's ok though because flying our wish lantern was awesome!  In fact, I filmed it :)  This was filmed with my shitty phone camera so the quality isn't great (and I was pretty drunk at the time).

Dear Seth Macfarlane,

The other night, I was lying in bed trying to go to sleep.  My mind was racing thinking of stressful things like work and money issues, so I said to myself...think of something else!  What I came up with was...what if they made a movie about the characters from "Family Guy" meet the characters from "American Dad"?












  That would be awesome! Kinda like that old movie "The Jetsons Meets the Flintstones".






Only way more entertaining.... 
It would be totally feasible considering they're made by the same guy.  So while lying in the dark staring at my ceiling, I came up with  some interactions between the characters (any or all of these could be used as plot points in the movie).

  • Peter and Stan probably wouldn't get along well; they're complete opposites (plus Stan hates fatties)
  • Steve would go ga-ga over Lois
  • Hailey and Meg would be bff if only because Hailey's a pothead and its been hinted in more than one episode that Meg hits the bowl as well.  Maybe it can even escalate into a romantic relationships. Hell, Meg's been a lesbian once already! XD
  • Stewie, being the sly little devil he is, discovers that the Smith family is hiding Rodger.  So they put their brains together to devise a plan to take over the world, which would fail because Rodger gets distracted and/or drunk 
  • Briann and Klaus - no-brainer.  They're both talking animals with dizzying intellects.  
  • Who did I miss? Ah Chris...well usually when an episode doesn't center around Chris, he just pops in and out with random spouts of wisdom or something completely retarded. So he can just do that. 
Another question to consider would be how do the two families meet?  The Griffins live in Rhode Island and the Smiths in Virginia.   That's pretty simple...the Griffins go on a road trip to Washington DC.  *BAM* Done!  BTW, Washington DC is pretty cool if you're never been there.  The museums have some pretty cool shit, and they have a zoo and botanical gardens for nature lovers like me :)

Anyway, that's the extent  of what I came up with.  I think I either fell asleep or started thinking about other random shit like what would I do if a zombie apocalypse broke out right now?  Now I'm hungry and the music here at Starbucks is making me want to stab my ears.

OMG first post!

 So I made a blog...I'm not sure what exactly this blog will be about.  But for now, I will please your eyeballs with the adorable faces of my kitties! ^^  There is Cleopatra (mostly white with random patterns), Lynx (big, fluffy, tiger boy) and Yumi (little grey one):
