I just randomly started singing this song earlier today, and it's been bothering me ever since. The only line I remember is, "She'll kill you with her/a smile," but it's definitely not She's A Lady like Google's been trying to tell me.
I can't remember if this was a song by itself, or a song in the movie. It's definitely a guy singing it--someone cute and dashing. I keep on thinking of Gene Kelly, but this song is a lot newer than he is, though certainly not "new" by any means. It's definitely the kind of thing he'd sing, though. I think. XD
Thanks!

I remember it was like two girls, switching places, like they fought with their mothers or something, one was blond & like rich and one had dark hair and was more tomboyish I think... and I remember there was like a babysitting scene on a rainy night & with some cookie baking maybe? & There was like a scene where she goes into a deli and finds like a pigs tongue or something, that might be from something else though, not sure.
Thanks so much, I've been wanting to re-watch this movie, I remember loving it as a kid.
Oh & this movie would be from like 1990-1996ish, I remember it being a lot like the babysitter's club tv show.

hi hi hi
this has been on my mind for almost a year now, on and off...
It was a mid-to-late 90s movie, and I want to say it was made for Disney but not sure, about a group of siblings with an estranged dad. Something about a witch or wishes comes up, there might be a wacky older hapless guy sidekick - not sure. I am pretty sure the villain is this fierce ass black witch.
But, what I distinctly remember, is that the antagonist flattens the dad and it frightened the hell out of me as a child. The dad is, in all rudimentary cgi glory, literally flattened and is barely thin and it is very dramatic and sad and etc.
what is this movie!!!

childhood educational games

in the computer lab of my elementary school (which were all Macs, I'm pretty sure) there were a few games we played a lot that I cannot remember now for the life of me but I hope someone does:
1. There was a pink flamingo and he played the xylophone. I don't remember any of the other mini-games or anything because I can't remember the game to research it. But a pink flamingly playing the xylophone should be pretty vivid enough?
2. There was a backyard clubhouse. There were 2 characters: a boy and a girl one. They might've been koalas or some sort of animal. Not human. There were tons of mini games to do -- a treasure map hunt in a sandbox, painting a picket fence, playing tic-tac-toe with a green one-eyed alien, these ants that made shapes.
3. There's a petshop and there's tons of monsters instead of pets. There was a lady who owned the shop and I think the game was named after her. Her name was similar or as silly as Ms. Frizzle from Magic School Bus because we used to compare them. There were tons of mini games part of this game too like matching shoe sizes to different sized feet.

collaborative geek humour

Last night I witnessed (and possibly participated in) a great example of my type of geek humour. It was a spontaneous collaborative joke, with 3 or 4 people making suggestions.
A modern couple gets married, and decides they will come up with an entirely new surname. They decide that this will be done during the ceremony, using the input of the guests present. This is done by ______.
To avoid extreme ridiculousness in their new name, they introduce a constraint, namely ______.
I can't remember the exact suggestions... but I'm curious to see what my LJ readers come up with.

I put away all the clean laundry for the first time in months.
All the dirty clothes were scattered across/mixed in with the general mess on my floor. My clean clothes were stacked on top of my drying rack (meaning I couldn't use it) or stuffed haphazardly into the laundry basket.
Which means I've been getting dressed out of the laundry basket. Or the pile on my drying rack. Or sifting through stuff on the floor to find things that were clean enough to wear again.
I didn't get all the dirty clothes into the basket--like I said, they're mixed in with the general mess. But this is the first step to 1. Getting rid of some of my clothes and 2. Being able to fit them all in my closet and/or finding another way of storing them.
I have waaaay too many clothes! Do I really need five (FIVE) shirts in the same color? Yes, they all have slightly different cuts or design. But...five? Seriously, if my clothes are all clean, I don't have enough room in my closet or enough hangers!
*whew*

Last week, me and one of my friends were talking about how we were glad to only have three days of school this week, having off for Thanksgiving, and the day after. In this middle of the conversation, she stops by saying,
"Wait, why do we have off Thursday? I'm pretty sure Thanksgiving falls on a Friday this year."
*facepalm*
