Rory's Story Cubes Story: 8.13.16

I'm going to write a story with Rory's Story Cubes because why not?

And I'm doing it word of the day style... and the word of the day is Cosmopolis on dictionary.com so... it will be based around a city I suppose! Alright!

So I rolled them first and just so you know... the order is Turtle, Book, L or Scrabble Tile, Parachute, Clock, Foutain, Castle, Arrow Pointing Northwest, and an airplane. (Also used Fish, Beetle,Abacus, magnets

It's tough being a viral video celebrity. Sure, David wasn't as famous as many others like the zombie kid that said "I like Turtles" on halloween or the "Charlie bit my finger" kid or even David after dentist... but he was still fairly famous in his own right. A news reporter was talking to him about his parents having quintuplets on the local news... live and he made fart noises, wet his pants and started crying. David loved the celebrity at the time... but he resented it now that he was a grown man and people around town are calling him "Farty Dave" still... which isn't even a very clever nickname.

David wanted to move away from the small town and right a book. He had gotten several deals... but only from publishers that wanted to publish his memoir of growing up as the town Farter. He didn't like that. He wanted to write historical fiction and biographies of other people's lives like George Washington and other historians. It wasn't until he wrote a book under the name Louis Lou that he started to get any recognition beyond being "Pees his pants Dave." (Okay seriously? The people in this town really need better nicknames!)

Unfortunately... His 5 brothers and sisters also got the writing bug, as they followed everything David said and did. His sister Marilyn wrote a book about a wealthy man with a parachuting habit that fell in love with a beautiful Hula dancer. His brother Ray wrote about the sea and all the inhabitants in it including a mermaid who loved tacos, but could never eat them out of fear of where the poop would come out of. His brother Bob wrote very popular fan fiction about the Beetles... that people really started taking notice of. His sister Joy wrote about a Mathematician who was mostly counting bodies of the people he murdered. And his youngest brother Alex wrote a sci fi romance novel about humans having magnets that would only connect to their one true love... but one girl connected to 2 people.

And those 5 had HIT books! Everyone loved Louis Lou at first... but after reading "Will You Be My Ringo," and "How Many Murders" people completely forgot about Louis Lou. And frankly Dave, Louis or Poopy Lou as some people had started to call him- which is more clever- had had enough! He decided to invent a time travel machine and see if it would work.

"If I had a time machine, I think I would go to Hawaii and see if my Hula dancing writing was accurate," Marilyn complained. "I just want to double check."

"You can just go to Hawaii you know... they have planes for that... but yeah! That's exactly what I'm doing! I'm going back in time and interviewing all these famous historical people... and to insure future royalties, I'm also going to go to the future and interview more famous people from the future... that way I can publish before anyone else does!"

Marilyn jumped up in excitement and then frowned. "How are we getting to the past and future?"

"I'm going to the Fountain of youth! I know my history... and I know no one discovered the fountain of youth... but I think they were just looking at the wrong thing. They thought they could drink from it and have eternal youth... but many historians have speculated its really a time travel fountain."

Marilyn had left mid conversation. No one ever listened to David when he rambled on about history or anything other than whatever they were interested in or his poop jokes.

David decided to go into the future first, and he met a beautiful princess who was known for historically being the most beautiful person on earth... I mean really. She's not even a real princess, people just gave her the title and built her a castle because she was too frickin' pretty not to. David was a little nervous talking to her... and it made him even more nervous when Princess Beauty said

"Hey, aren't you that guy from that youtube video?"

And he poops his pants immediately. "People are still talking about that?"

"Well no... they're talking about the guy that time traveled and pooped his pants talking to the beautiful princess," she laughed. "It's happened once before believe it or not!"

"Ohhh... I guess once Poopy Lou... always poopy Lou," Lou sobs.

"Don't cry dude, you are famous for being the worlds first historical biographer that travels in time and the first historical biographer to talk about the potty!"

Lou stares at the princess quizzically... "I'm a potty historian?"

"Yes! You don't think people are fascinated with the embarrassing stories and poop and toilets? You're book 'The Many Toilets of A.A. Milne' is a required reading for a lot of schools... its groundbreaking and hilarious and historical... so yes. You are a very famous niche historian."

Lou left with a smile on his pants... and after he changed his pants quickly, he went back in the past and headed Northwest and asked George Vancoover about how he pooped in the 1790s... and then asked the first people to poop on a plane what that felt liked.

And Poopy Lou wore his name proudly... and everyone lived happily ever after!

Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...

Man Crush Monday: Jimmy Fallon

Jimmy Fallon is one of my favorite talk show hosts... and I pretty much like all the late night talk show hosts... so that is saying a lot. (I haven't actually watched James Cordin yet, but I have a huge crush on him from Into The Woods, so yeah. I also have a crush on Seth Meyer though... And all the comedy central guys... ugh. Lol. and obviously Jimmy Fallon. Lol.) So yeah... this is saying a lot that he is one of my favorites. 1) He genuinely acts like he has the most fun job in the world-  Jimmy Fallon is always really excited about the show. He pretty much does have the most fun job ever, and he actually appreciates it. He was on SNL, and when he left SNL for late night he was excited and proud of his job, and now on The Tonight Show he's very happy. 2) His Ice Cream Flavors are good- This one is completely random... but I feel like having Ben and Jerry's make an ice cream flavor after you is a really big honor and a great responsibility. You can tell a lot about a...
