Happily watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade,

Ok, one last one for tonight. I was watching Jackson Pearce’s live show tonight and she mentioned the One Man Disney Movie and someone put a link in the chat and I went to go watch it. Awesome, awesome, awesomeeeeee. If you like Disney movies or just great singing from a very entertaining guy then this is a must see! Enjoy!
Ok, now seriously, I’m off to watch that movie. Night.

I don’t know why I am on such a movie posting kick as of late, but I wanted to share with you guys one more movie I have watched recently. 1984’s “Night of the Comet”. I found it on Youtube and it’s still as awesome as it was back then, just a little less scary. It’s about a comet flying over the Earth and the crazy stuff that happens after it passes by.

So I have “known” of Georgy Girl since I was child. My mom has had this album by The Seekers for forever. She would let me borrow her records and along with the Mamas and Papas this record always came to my room with me. I don’t recall many of the other songs on this album except maybe one or two others, but Georgy Girl I would listen to over and over again. I would sing and dance along with this song and at my young age feel they were talking about me. Can you tell who didn’t have high self esteem as a kid? LOL! Here’s the song if you are interested.
Well when I grew older I learned from my mom the song was for a movie called Georgy Girl, that I found out when I grew even older was based off of a book called Georgy Girl. My mom told me about the movie and well, I had to watch it. It was from the 1960s, it was British, and it was that corny camp kind of movie I love, so I HAD to watch it. Speaking of watching, and totally off the topic, the other day I watched a video online of Soleil Moon Frye dressed up as Punky Brewster…as in at her age now, to say thanks to her million Twitter followers. It was a bit corny and camp as well. Don’t know why that came to mind. But moving back to Georgy Girl.

*Warning, I am going to talk about the movie so there are spoilers ahead.* So in short this movie is a about a girl named Georgy, third person to the right in the picture, who lives with her best friend Meredith, second person to the right. Meredith dates Jos, first person on the left. Georgy’s parents work for James, guy on the right, because basically they fell on hard times and he hired them as help in his mansion, oh did I mention James was rich, and he helped raise Georgy by paying for schooling for her and making a studio for her in his house so she can give dance classes to children. So the going thing in the movie is Georgy is a fat ugly nobody while Meredith is a thin sexy somebody. Jos comes over to pick Meredith up for dates and sometimes has to wait while Meredith is out on another date. During this time Georgy keeps him company. They are friends even though he calls her names like Fat Face and constantly remarks on her large body…which is easily a 12-14 in US sizing. Well while all that is going on, James…the rich guy, is dealing with the fact that not only is his wife ill and refusing to go to the doctor for help but try to heal herself on her own but he also is seeing he cares for Georgy in more than a fatherly way. One night when she shows up for a party he gives her a shocking proposal that she avoids giving her answer on for a while. She avoids James as much as possible while she deals with new issues popping up in her life with a pregnancy, a marriage, a divorce, an adoption, a death, and then another marriage. Whew, girl is busy. In the end Georgy ends up kind of where she wanted. I feel she would have preferred a different outcome but it gave her what she wanted…kind of.
I know I left out some of the bits and pieces, but I figured I would just in case you want to watch the movie. And since I aim to please, here’s the movie. You can either watch it down below or click here for a slightly bigger screen or so you can watch it full screen. It’s a little over an hour and half. Enjoy. 
Yeah, I know the video window is big, but I didn’t want to mess up the viewing of the movie if you decided to watch it on my blog. So I sacrifice for all of you. 
Loves ya,

Ok, so first of all, this is not a bash on anyone who uses Artfire. I tinkered around on it and liked it for the most part. This is just my personal thoughts and feelings on why I couldn’t get into it.
So I got an email from Artfire today that just kind of put me off. If you have a basic account I’m sure you got “the email” too. It’s topic was along the lines of “Hey, wanna know why you as a basic member are not making any sales? Click to find out.” So I clicked. And basically it read along the lines of “Yeah, we cater everything to Pro accounts so basically if you really want to start your business you need to just get a Pro account otherwise we aren’t going to help you any and your store will not succeed because we hide you away like the unwanted stepchild. So upgrade today! 
I mean don’t get me wrong, Artfire is interesting and it’s building, but I don’t like how exclusive it is. You are cut off from mostly everything unless you buy a membership. This is the reason I like Etsy more because while some things are exclusive for active shop owners, for the most part if you have an account you can partake in the fun there. They don’t make you feel second rate because maybe you don’t have he money to fund a shop right now but you still want to stay up on what’s going on and take part in things there. Now there are some things Artfire has for their shops that I would really like on Etsy, but Etsy seems to be slowly getting those things so that’s a positive thing. Both sites have pros and cons, which I feel is more personal opinion than anything, but as I’ve told other people before in my mind Artfire is like Myspace and Etsy is like Facebook. You do the math on that one. I’ll still keep my shop at Artfire and maybe I will try opening a shop with a Pro account one day if it takes off more, but for now I think I will focus on an Etsy shop and see how that goes.
One thing I hope Etsy never gets though is music in the shops. Artfire allows that and I hate it. I think some of the features on Artfire allow for to much tack in the shops, but once again, personal opinion. Slideshows are another pet peeve of mine. I like shops to be organized and uniformed. You don’t find that at Artfire like you do Etsy. But I think I am done for now and will get off my soapbox. I guess I just really didn’t like the email and tone it carried with it. Like I said, it’s not a bad site, but it’s seriously exclusive. And like I said Etsy has some exclusive stuff too, and I am find with being exclusive, but Artfire takes it to the bullying extent almost. If they don’t like basic accounts then get ride of them and free that site up for their members then to add more features or something. I’m sure they will like that and then they can stop making basic members feel like they don’t matter. Either way you have to put hard work into promoting your shop to be seen, I’m not going to put all that work in to bring traffic to a site that thinks I’m second rate. No thanks. Yeah, I’m bitter. 
Loves ya,
Mouse
