Facebook Isn't Cool Anymore
There are more 55 and over year olds today using Facebook than there are high school students using the site.
So don't be surprised when you start seeing ads for dentures on Facebook in the next few months.
I was a bit shocked when I saw my former 55 year old supervisor trying to add me. What it comes down to is that things just aren't cool anymore when the older crowd is also doing them.
It's true that it's more socially acceptable now to still be single at 32 and enjoy the club life than say 10 years ago, but a college student will not think that a party is cool there are a bunch of 35 year olds there acting young and doing "stupid young things" like chugging beer even though they may feel young on the inside.
And it's weird when you have your parents on your facebook account! (Though my friend Nathan doesn't seem to mind & talks to his mom on it LOL- he says it's cheaper than calling long distance) Even with the new settings they have, they can still view the album if you get tagged in it even though the album may be private, How about the fear of your supervisor searching for incriminating photos of you on the site that someone posted a longg time ago?
What about you? What do you think about Facebook?
P.S One of my favourite bloggers Blair is having a giveaway! Make sure you go check her page out :)

Missed you this week!ReplyDelete
LOL, it's like a match made in Heaven! I think you should be a follower for sure!
I don't have a Facebook a/c - LOL, I figured if I lost touch with someone, there must be a reason, so I don't need to come find him/her and vice versa. Though I've heard some pretty amazing stories (a friend's family member finding a birth parent) so I think it can be used for *good* too :)
Thanks for your sweet comments, hon. What bugs me most is that I let a stranger bring up an insecurity I thought I had surpassed over a decade ago - and sorry you have to hear it too - it's cause you're so pretty, they need something to put you down.
Happy weekend :) xx
haha I was in love with Tal's voice!!! lol And as facebook... It's true, once parents and older people get involved it seems things loose it's appeal. I mean who wants to censor the ridculous things we post on eachothers walls because ones parents are "watching?" haha NOT ME! So I say this: if my parents get facebook, I hack them and change the language settings of their account to something foreign like arabic! muahaha!ReplyDelete
I loved this song in high school, I remember listening to it because a guy I had a major crush on gave me a CD with this song on it - I just listened to it over and over like a woman obsessed! Great pick!ReplyDelete
I remember this song!!!ReplyDelete
im pretty sure you have more common things than that
i used facebook before & i was so into it but all of a sudden it just lost its touch. i guess its because of too much applications..
it's like everytime you log in there would be a new applications that you 'have' to add..
it's just pretty tiring...
55yrs old supervisor,huh?
facebook had really become so popular...
You should totally stalk him.ReplyDelete
And dude, probably half the people on my facebook are over 40. Hahahah! I don't even go on it that much anymore…im afraid of what the old fashioned people might say about my pictures or wall posts or whatever! Gahhh!
Hello Julie (finally, I know your name after chatting for more than a month? hahaha),ReplyDelete
I remember the chorus to this song!!! It's sooooo retro! Thank you for reintroducing it to us hahaha
I've been inspiration-less these days! I haven't been making any jewelry at all =(
Thank you for posting my giveaway up in your blog ^^
Well facebook is still number 1 in my book, better than myspace. My parents have yet to make a facebook, I think my dad was planning on it, but I told him no. Haha.ReplyDelete
Goodness, this song brings back memories! Yeah, it definitely sounds like the two of you were meant to be - why oh why didn't you get in touch with him sooner? ;-) I'm not on FB and don't really intend to. Actually a lot of companies now seek out MySpace, FB and twitter profiles of people they are thinking of employing. It's actually a good reason not to post anything stupid of yourself online, because if it's out there, people will have a way of finding it. Anyhow, have a great weekend! Oh, and I've left you an award on my blog :)ReplyDelete
haha, no problem on shameless advertising :P I'm pretty sure everyone does that now but at least I'm not spamming it up! :) and yeah facebook is really for "mature" people because on there they actually add people they KNOW. I haven't jumped on there yet because I just don't want to stay in touch with people from high school just yet :PReplyDelete
i fucking hate facebook! lame city! always has been, always will be!ReplyDelete
sorry that i am such a HATER!
LOL! 50 years olds using facebook? That's interesting how the number is increasing. It creeps me out a bit bc if FB is going to turn into myspace i'm going to delete my FB acct. I still use FB and still like it in a way to keep in touch with my friends.ReplyDelete
i love my facebook! i could care less if old people use it too, i mean don't they have the same right as we do? =)ReplyDelete
you are so funny lolReplyDelete
I don't have facebook, I feel left out a little!
I like that song : DD I like facebook tests :DDReplyDelete
I am afraid of Myspace and Facebook.ReplyDelete
Don't have em, don't want em.
AND for some reason this really offends people! haha
I remember this song! I loved it when it came out. I got bored with facebook a long time ago. I've had friends ask me to watch what I post on their walls because they have family as their friends there...no fun.ReplyDelete
haha~ im a social freak so i love fb. everyone i know has it. i have to have some kind of networking system to keep in touch with my friends. i like to be in the know~ i don't want to miss out on a good party or a night out.. and fb means i never 'forget' my friends bdays.haha.ReplyDelete
i dont add randoms though(no point)and as for the elders on fb, i just choose not to add them and my profile is on private; only viewable by who i want~^^
hee.. u should totally follow him! :P hahaha!ReplyDelete
hm.. that's pretty weird.. i wouldn't want my supervisor adding me on facebook.. haha :P wouldn't want ppl at work to know TOO much bout my personal life... that'll be weird :P
what a pleasant surprise to find tal bachman and his song, "she's so high" on here. :D it's funny how i was thinking of that song while i was on my lunchbreak. lol. it's such a sweet song. :)ReplyDelete
lol. funny how you mentioned your 55-year-old supervisor trying to add you on facebook. i was quite shocked when my aunt and uncle (who share a profile) tried to add me as their friend. i ended up adding them back anyway. my cousins complained how come their parents did not add them. shouldn't that be a good thing for them though? lol.
i like facebook...for now. haha... pretty much everyone is on there. plus, it's not as complicated as myspace. i'm just getting sick of these barn buddy addicts trying to get me to join their game. i have enough to do already. hahaha...
thanks for the sweet comment you left on my son's pic. enjoy your weekend. :)
Iam hardly on FB too. Hahah I donktnw what to do there!ReplyDelete
Aw I love these retro songs they bring me back to childhood afternoons at the pool with friends and family =)ReplyDelete
and that makes sense because all my friends' parents/grandparents are getting facebooks.

Lol, sooo true about Facebook! It is getting weird, and there are a lot of old people on it. I think it is beginning to lose its touch. It needs to spice things up before we all move over to Twitter.ReplyDelete
i havnt moved on to facebook im still s myspace girl. lolReplyDelete
haha great post!ReplyDelete
Hey hon, just saw your post on my Cbox (not very good at checking it yet lol) and LOL - you and Chelsea are both way sexier than I will ever be! But I agree, I think a lot of today's female pop stars are way oversexed - it's refreshing to see someone who doesn't have her cleavage falling out all over the place (this is probably biased by the fact that I have no cleavage... but lol). But yea! I'm totally addicted to Falling Down now. Glad you're enjoying it too. =)ReplyDelete
Ah I love Tal Bachman, She's So High is such a beautiful song :)ReplyDelete
Aww..I like this song.ReplyDelete
Facebook is okay, I was able to reconnect with my old schoolmates. I agree, I know alot of older folks use FB.
i don have a facebook account cause i find it too boring.. i really want privacy.. and "And it's weird when you have your parents on your facebook account" you are 100% right!! i would never do that!!ReplyDelete
the case deco i made is for samsung behold t919.
my sister and my mom was telling me the same thing today too that i should just sell the one i just made and see if people are willing to buy it or not and start a business with it. but i dont want to sell this one since its my first creation. lol
I hate to talk about older people because I'm almost 40. lol I actually just joined Facebook over the last month or so. Hope you have had a great weekend. Cheers!ReplyDelete
its funny that u mention that a lot of older people are using facebook cus its true! ive seen a lot of my friends who have their parents on it... to me its kinda weird... but whatever! ;pReplyDelete
Duuuudee i totally agree with you. Back then facebook was called "the facebook" lol. Its main purpose for me was to create events, fund raisers, parties, finding cheaper books for your classes and ofcourse stay in touch with your colleagues.ReplyDelete
Now everyone has it. My mom has it and a bunch of my aunts and uncles...weird!! I have one but its super private lol.
Oh and nyx eye shadows are pretty good for its cheap price. their single eye shadows are better than their trios. I feel like the singles have better quality. Also, i like how they have a bunch of colors to choose from. but i have to warn you, they are a bit powdery but i got over it already lol.
i recommend you get Mermaid Green, Atlantic and Sahara (which is a crazy dupe for Mac's Rice paper)
wow this is long lol.
wow im pretty shock with the stats with FB!!ReplyDelete
well technically there are 2 asians in LP, a korean dude whose the DJ and the american japanese who is Mike Shinoda.... chester is the blonde white dude :P
OMG THIS SONG! lolReplyDelete
Ughh Facebook...sometimes I ignore it for weeks, it's a good way to keep in touch I guess, but I also think that my "real" friends know how to get ahold of me other than my FB WALL. haha. I spend tooo much time taking those damn quizzes. Jesus thinks I'm a twat was an answer I got once...lol
I love facebook. And i think it's just ok to have older people there. I mean at least we can catch u some good things bout their experiences in life. =D Have fun!=DReplyDelete
A Writers Den
The Brown Mestizo
I still use Facebook regularly. It's probably my most visited site - yes, even above Blogger! I've actually been neglecting Blogger lately. Boo. :( I miss reading your blogs! I need to come out of hiding lol.ReplyDelete
I did just post a video though. :)

In a setback to President Trumps travel ban on citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously ruled Thursday that a temporary restraining order on the ban will remain in place while its constitutionality is challenged in court. Although lawyers from the Department of Justice argued the president has total authority when it comes to the constitutionality of issuing executive orders in the name of national security, the judges ruled that national security concerns cannot automatically be prioritized over individual protections outlined by the U.S. Constitution.
The problem with this is the people wanting to come to the United States are not protected by the US Constitution. They do not have any constitutional rights to be allowed into the United States.
Furthermore a visa of entry to the United States does not guarantee entry into the United States. In my view this is just another stall tactic by activist judges. The constitution clearly states. The Executive Branch has all authority concerning persons coming into the United States.
On Friday, a three-judge panel on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals appeared to favor letting a judge's temporary restraining order blocking enforcement of President Trump's travel ban order stand for a while longer while both sides prepare evidence for a more detailed hearing.
In an hour-long telephone conference live-streamed over the Internet, the judges asked many questions for the attorney for the Trump administration August Flentje. Sometimes the questions were skeptical questioning motives, to hostile questions, including repeatedly asking him to answer yes or no as to whether an outright ban on Muslim travelers would be illegal. (Perhaps, he said finally, but only individuals could sue over it, not states.)
The judges seemed more sympathetic to the Washington Solicitor General Noah Purcell, asking him whether the states could come up with more evidence of the anti-Muslim animus they say motivated Trump to issue the order. Purcell argued the court should at the very least leave the temporary restraining order in place until U.S. District Judge James L. Robart considered the evidence and decided to keep the restraining order on the ban until while its constitutionality is challenged in court.
President Trump just tweeted minutes after the ruling was released: "SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!"

The panel of inquiry report, which was commissioned by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, found there was credible evidence of war crimes in the last weeks of the conflict in the first half of 2009, in which tens of thousands of civilians were killed in heavy army shelling in the north of the island.
The United Nations was expected to publish its report this week but delayed following protests from the Sri Lankan government which claimed it would harm a reconciliation process currently under way. The report is now expected to be published next week.
The report says it has authenticated video footage which showed naked and blindfolded prisoners being "kicked and forced to cower in the mud before being shot in the head at close range." Another film, broadcast on Channel Four News, showed a landscape of executed prisoners including women and a young boy.
Rape and sexual violence in the last weeks of the conflict was under-reported, the panel found, but photographs of dead female Tamil Tiger 'cadres' indicated "rape or sexual violence may have occurred, either prior to or after execution."
Former UN spokesman in Sri Lanka, Gordon Weiss, who was the first senior official to warn that thousands of innocent civilians were being killed in army shelling of a so-called 'no-fire zone' in the north-east of the island, said their report will intensify pressure on the international community to now press for a full inquiry.
"In [the panel's] opinion there is credible evidence of the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians, it's clear that both sides appear to be responsible for war crimes, and that the Sri Lankan government was responsible for the majority of the deaths through shelling," he said.
"There has got to be a proper international inquiry now because the 'prima facie' case exists, an overwhelming case to be answered for war crimes," he added.
G.L. Peiris, Sri Lanka's foreign minister, had earlier urged Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary general, to refrain from releasing the report he called "preposterous."
"The publication of this report will cause irreparable damage to the reconciliation efforts of Sri Lanka. It will damage the UN system too," he said.

Missouri Federal Jury Awards $20.6 Million for TCE Exposure; No New Trial
A Missouri federal court denied a ball bearings manufacturer's request for a new trial after a jury hit it with $20.6 million in compensatory and punitive damages in a trichloroethylene ("TCE") exposure case, and the Court denied Defendants' request for a new trial.

States Consider Over 60 Bills Regulating Chemicals in 2016
Although legislation to overhaul the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) is under near-final consideration, states continue to consider restrictions on chemicals. In the absence of TSCA reform, over 20 states are considering 60 different bills that would regulate the manufacture and sale of chemicals or restrict their use in products. Some bills would establish broad regulatory authority to regulate chemicals in products – akin to California's Safer Consumer Products regulations – whereas others would target specific chemicals of concern or narrow product types. Almost half of the state proposals would regulate the use of chemicals in children's products. Other areas of legislative activity include limitations on the use of flame retardants, mercury, and bisphenol A, or a focus on personal care products, cosmetics, and cleaning products. The bills range from notification or labeling requirements to blanket prohibitions on certain chemicals in defined products. This chart provides details regarding active state bills in the 2016 legislative cycle. Read More ›
Evolving State Green Chemistry Initiatives
States continue to enact new laws and implement a diverse array of programs and
requirements seeking to regulate the manufacture, sale, and use of chemicals in
products. Some state requirements have a narrow scope limited to particular
chemicals or products (e.g., children's products), whereas others, such as
California, have instituted comprehensive regulatory frameworks that govern the
use of chemicals in a broad range of products. Amidst all of this state
activity, Congress is nearing passage of a bill that would overhaul the federal
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and strengthen the national program for
reviewing and regulating chemicals. Read More ›

Retailer Pays $2M Fine for Alleged Distribution of Recalled Products by Contractor, Agrees to Maintain Internal Compliance Program
In a press release issued on September 17, 2014, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced that Michigan-based retailer, Meijer Inc., will pay a $2 million dollar fine to resolve allegations that it knowingly introduced recalled products into commerce. Along with the monetary penalty, the settlement agreement provides that Meijer will implement and maintain a reverse logistics compliance program that will include a written policy to address the handling of recalled goods as well as training for employees to prevent future violations.

"Safe Chemicals Act," First TSCA Reform Bill of 113th Congress, Reintroduced
On April 10, 2013, Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) reintroduced the "Safe Chemicals Act" to "amend the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to ensure that risks from chemicals are adequately understood and managed."[1] The 2013 bill, S. 696, is identical to the version of the Safe Chemicals Act that was approved by Democrats in the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee in December 2012 on a party line vote, but which died at the end of the 112th Congress having seen no further activity.

EPA Proposes to Require 36 States to Revise Startup, Shutdown, and Malfunction Air Emission Provisions in State Implementation Plans
On February 22, 2013, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a proposed rule that requires 36 states to revise startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) provisions in their State Implementation Plans (SIPs). The proposed rule responds to a rulemaking petition filed by the Sierra Club. The petition claims that previously approved SIP provisions are inconsistent with the Clean Air Act because they include emission limit exemptions during periods of SSM. If this proposal becomes final, the SSM protections that may facilities are relying on for excess emissions during times of startup, shutdown and malfunction may no longer be available. Read More ›

Honestly, I weallie look like her. From the back.
I was bombarded by throngs of laughter when I appeared. I had to walk a few streets and dine in a restaurant in that whole get up. James Lee even strolled to the van to catch a longer glimpse of this tomboy in a dress with freaking big hair.
Talk about being embarrassed.
Sitting comfortably has never been so tough. It fact, it never happened because I couldn't sit comfortably without exposing myself.

The township of Barmera in the State's Riverland lies on the shores of Lake Bonney, a large freshwater lake fed by the River Murray. Barmera is just over 200 kilometres from Adelaide. Camping is allowed on the shores of Lake Bonney, and the north western side is the spot.
On the opposite side of the lake to the town, not far from the entrance to Loch Luna Game Reserve and Nappers Bridge, there is a dirt road that runs alongside the lake. On the northern side of the track, there are quite a few areas to camp, but none of them are marked. On the southern side of the track lies the lake. There are no facilities, although there are toilets near the entrance road. The soil is quite sandy, but is firm enough to hold tent pegs. It's an open area, and caravans are parked here quite often.
A few of the locals on the shore of the lake right in front of the camp site.
This is a great spot if you have kids. Normally you would be hesitant about letting them swim in the Murray, but here the water is shallow and the bottom sandy. Kids love it. It's like having their own little stretch of beach. I camped here for a couple of nights with a friend and his two young sons. They spent the entire time on the beach, fishing, swimming and playing cricket. It's a very relaxing place to camp.
Fishing here is good fun. I've only ever caught carp, but they really seem to fight well . Maybe it's because of the shallow water. Long runs are the norm and 2 kg fish feel like 5 kg fish. Bread and worms are the best baits. If you land a fish you will be mobbed by pelicans, which can be amusing as it scares the hell out of small children.
Summer is good here because it's possible to cool off in the lake. You will need to bring some sort of portable shade with you though; something along the lines of those gazebo things. You could always set it up on the beach.
The sunrises and sunsets can be spectacular and are worth the trip alone.

16 Oct Are You Finding Out that Your Alcoholism is a Direct Result of Your Molestation?
Treatment centers across the United States treat men and women of all ages. Once a person enters a treatment center for rehabilitation, a lot of thoughts come out. You may start remembering the time that you got molested as a child. Many victims that experience child molestation do not talk about their emotions. Often, they turn to alcoholism and drugs for comfort. When people get molested, they often feel shame and heartache. They often feel that they are to blame. When you are in recovery, you discover that you can learn how to deal with your pain without using alcohol and drugs.
According to the website wirerecovery.com, "Addicts are often Incest or Child Molestation Victims." It seems to be the case many times. Often, young men and women are troubled by their past. They often don't know how to express what happened.
Here are a few books that can be of comfort for you that are struggling:
- The Stop Child Molestation Book: What Ordinary People Can Do in Their Everyday Lives to Save 3 Million Children by Nora Harlow
- Nasty Little Girl: A Story of Child Sexual Abuse by B.C. Choices
- Finding Sunshine After the Storm: A Workbook for Children Healing from Sexual Abuse by Curtis Holmes PhD and Sharon McGee LMFT
- Child Molestation Stories: Voices of Survivors: of Child Sexual Abuse (Molestation, Rape, Incest)
- Mommy Did Nothing As they Molested Me: A Story of Abuse (Child Abuse Series Book 2) by Crystal Castle
Books helps us to move on from our past. When we read books from others that have the same experiences as us, we begin to feel a sense of understanding. Others have gone through what you have. Once you start talking out your feelings with a professional therapist, you will begin to understand how to cope with these painful memories. Without professional help, you may continue drinking and doing drugs. It is mainly because it takes time to heal your soul. Everything is a process in life.
Recovery.org is an excellent resource of help for victims of molestation and sexual abuse https://www.recovery.org/topics/choosing-the-best-inpatient-sexual-abuse-and-addiction-recovery-center/. The faster that you cry out for help, the better that you will feel. Treatment centers help you to address your alcohol/drug issues and personal issues at the same time. You receive an entire program that will help you for the rest of your life.
Treatment programs that offer 30 day inpatient care are often the best choices. Experts say that it takes 21 days to change a habit. You will be able to change your thoughts and how you cope with the past pain that you have in your life.

Hello, Crafters.
Sunday's team training went really well. Needless to say I came home with some brilliant swaps, which I'll share with you later in the week. The cards we made in the afternoon were brilliant. Not quite my style but lovely all the same. Today I'm sharing my take on the Love Blossoms cards.
I didn't actually make my cards while I was at training because I can make them at home and I like to make the most of my time with other demos. So I tend to spend my afternoon going around talking with other demos! We all have such different ideas which we're happy to share, it's time very well spent.
We were given all the materials we needed to make four Love Blossoms cards and five masculine Going Places cards - I'll share those with you later in the week.
The masculine cards were first and we used a lot of the Going Places Designer Series Paper Stack (DSP), which made me think. Although I buy various packs of DSP, I don't use it very often, so it's not surprising I always have so much left over!
I decided that when I made the Love Blossoms cards, I'd substitute card stock for DSP and these are the results. Natalie's cards were designed, very successfully, to show that the Love Blossoms set can be used for any occasion, just with a change of sentiment.
One change I've made to all nine cards is to add an extra layer. As I was working from home, the only cardstock I used from the pack I received at training was the two sheets of Blushing Bride A4 cardstock which I used for the card bases. One of the features on Natalie's cards that I really love is the strips of Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper.
As well as the glimmer paper, all cards have a base of Blushing Bride cardstock, with a layer of Whisper White and topped with designs from the Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack. They all use Bloomin' Love Stamp Set as well.
This is a quick run down of other products I've used:
Photograph 1: Petite Pairs Stamp Set, Hearts Border Punch, Rose Red Cardstock, Clear Wink of Stella Pen
Photograph 2: Oval Collections Framelits, Sky is the Limit Stamp Set (Sale-A-Bration)
Photograph 3: , Petite Pairs Stamp Set, Bloomin Heart Thinlits Dies, Pearls
Photograph 4: Bloomin Heart Thinlits Dies, Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set, Hearts Border Punch, Rose Red Cardstock, Clear Wink of Stella Pen
Tomorrow I'll share the swaps I made for Team Training as well as a video showing how to make them.
Until tomorrow, happy crafting.

A few months back, when I posted some shots of my living room, one of you observant readers commented on the range hood that had magically appeared above our stove. I promised that reader a post on it, a post which I never got around to. In fact, my own home has been much neglected on the blog lately. It's been over a month since I showed you an updated shot of any one of my rooms. So, I thought I'd revisit the kitchen today. It's my favourite room, the prettiest room in our house. It's the room I'm most proud of, really.
When you first saw it, it looked like this:
And then we ripped out whole house apart and created a new one for less than $20,000. When you last saw it, it looked complete different, partially because we actually moved it from one part of the house to another.

SDCC: Burnham Captains "Galaxy Quest," Balances "TMNT/Ghostbusters"
IDW Publishing announced plans for a new "Galaxy Quest" series by writer Erik Burnham and artist Nacno Arranz on Friday at Comic-Con International in San Diego. Based on the cult 1999 film starring Tim Allen, "Galaxy Quest" is the second recently announced series for Burnham, who was also recently revealed as the co-writer of a "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/Ghostbusters" miniseries with regular "TMNT" writer Tom Waltz and artist Dan Schoening.
SDCC: Turtle Power Energizes TMNT
Burnham chatted with CBR News about both upcoming series, revealing what's in store for the crew of the NSEA Protector as well as what happens when everyone's favorite heroes in a half-shell collide with New York's premiere supernatural exterminators.
CBR News: Erik, what's your freshly announced "Galaxy Quest" series about?
Erik Burnham: "Galaxy Quest" answers the question of "What if a group of aliens saw a 'Star Trek'-like show, assumed it was real, and recruited the cast to help them on a mission?" Like "Ghostbusters," it's a comedy but the world is played straight. The humor comes from the people and their reactions, not the situations they face.
And what adventure does the crew find themselves in this time around?
Well, at the end of their movie, Tim Allen's character, Jason, used the Omega 13 device to rewind time 13 seconds and undo the catastrophic death of his crew. (Um… sorry for the 15 year-old spoilers!) Messing with time. Maybe that affected more than the ship. If it was more widespread, sure, most folks would just have a powerful case of deja vu. But what if it changed something else? That's what we're starting with. They're the reason a new race — called the Drythans — seek them out and say, "You screwed something up. Fix it."
Will this series serve as a direct sequel to the 1999 film?
Yes. As a joke, I played with the conceit of how many sequels reuse certain beats from their predecessor when I introduce the cast in a similar way to the way they were first introduced in the movie. That one may be too meta to see without being told, but it still makes me chuckle.
Will all the players from the film be making a return? Any new characters?
Everyone from the movie will be back. I was even asked to include Brandon, the role Justin Long played, so we got everyone. There will be a new race of aliens, too.
When did you first see "Galaxy Quest?"
I missed it in theaters by a week, but snapped it up immediately on DVD when it was brand new. So we're looking at 2000, if I recall correctly.
How did the idea of a "Galaxy Quest" comic come about?
Tom Waltz and I were talking one day and, mid-sentence, he remembers that IDW was going to be doing another "Galaxy Quest" comic and he thought it'd be fun if I pitched for it. "Do something really 'Star Trekky,'" is what he suggested when I asked what he was looking for.
So I wrote up a pitch — and this is almost two years ago! — and got it to Tom. A few months after that, I said "Hey, Tom — did anything ever happen with that pitch?" And he says, in his way, "Oh yeah, dude! … It, uh, well, it got turned down." When I asked why, he says: "It was too 'Star Trekky.'"
I laughed loud enough to wake my poor dog.
Anyway, IDW and the licensor both liked the pitch, they just wanted me to make some changes. Once that was done, voila, we were go.
What tone will this series take?
I'm going to play it like "Ghostbusters." It's a comedy, but the universe they'll be in will be played straight. Yes, a cast member may make a snarky comment towards an alien; but also, yes, that alien could kill them.
Why do you think "Galaxy Quest" appeals so much to the "Star Trek" and sci-fi fans it seems to mock at times in the film?
I think because the bulk of fandom, the people who truly love the stuff they're into, they're good sports; especially when the mockery isn't mean spirited.
"Galaxy Quest" took some soft (and easy) jabs at fans — and actors! But it also showed them in a good light. Geeks can be, well, geeky — but fandom is also well known for pulling together to help when the occasion calls for it. The movie showed that (in the most over the top way possible, sure, but it showed it!)
That explains part of it. The rest is, man, the fans are in on the joke. Everyone likes being in on the joke. And the galactic stuff holds up as well as a lot of the best "Trek" — which often had plenty of comedy in the mix! That's a rambling "'Family Circus' map" kind of answer, y'know, going all over — but I stand by it!
Moving on to your other recently announced project, how are you and co-writer Tom Waltz bringing together two very different worlds for "TMNT/Ghostbusters?"
Donatello has access to Fugitoid's inter-dimensional transporter plans. That would be some incredibly handy technology to have direct access to, so of course Don is going to try to build one for himself. And he does! And it works! And… then an oopsie happens and sends the Turtles to the right location in New York, but the wrong New York entirely.
Will all the main characters of both franchises be present? What version of each universe are you going with?
The four Turtles, Casey and April will be present, and the Ghostbusters plus Janine and Kylie Griffin. That's all we have room for (beyond a cameo here and there.) As to which versions? The ones you read in the "TMNT" and "Ghostbusters" ongoing series. This book is going to illuminate and seed future things for Tom's "Turtles" ongoing (and if the "GB" ongoing was still going on, I'd say the same for that!).
RELATED: Burnham & Allor Re-Write History for "TMNT: Turtles in Time"
How did you decide which villain to use?
Tom has a plan for "TMNT," and that's where we mined the idea for the villain. He is connected to another Turtles character and trapped in a dimensional portal; when he's set free (in the Ghostbusters universe) he has some decidedly ghost-like abilities. That's vague, I know, but I want to keep as much for the book as possible!
You say you're using a "TMNT" villain — but how are you squeezing some ghosts in there? You can't have a "Ghostbusters" crossover without some ghosts!
We said that the villain was tied to the "TMNT" universe. Don't think we ever said they were alive…
Some of the Ghostbusters and Turtles seem to be direct versions of each other — Donatello and Egon leap to mind as a pair that must be fun to write together. What other team-ups are you looking forward to?
Tom and I riffed for an hour on the phone about just potential moments that would be fun to have. Some have already been cut from the overall book and we've only just completed the first draft of issue #1 as I write this!
But you're right; there are similarities. A couple of smart mouths (in Peter and Raph); a couple of serious guys (Winston and Leo); two wide-eyed optimists (Ray and Mikey); and of course Don and Egon, the brains of their respective teams. They mesh so well, and I think it's going to come out awesome.
Add to the mix that Tom and I are being joined by Dan Schoening and Luis Delgado on art (hey — it is the GB universe) and I don't think it could be anything less than awesome.
What else do you have planned for the first "TMNT/Ghostbusters" crossover?
More than we have space for! Tom and I have riffed for hours about stuff we wanted to see, and that's before we even got to the nitty gritty of the plot! I don't want to spoil too much, but I think given what's revealed online so far, I can say that there is some dimension hopping. These are absolutely the Turtles from Tom's run, and the Ghostbusters from mine, and they've never been in the same NYC before. I don't think folks expected 'canon' adventures in this crossover, but that's what it is. We have complementary personalities to play with, too. My one regret: Splinter won't be along for the ride. I would have loved to write a meeting between him and Janine.
Look for both "Galaxy Quest" and "TMNT/Ghostbusters" later this year from IDW Publishing.

Just an FYI that I have opened a t-shirt shop on Spreadshirt. It's a site that digitally prints artwork onto shirts. I bought a shirt, (pictured above), before opening the shop to make sure the quality was on the up and up, and I was pleased with the job they did. The result isn't as vivid as a silk screened shirt, but it's perfect for more detailed images.
The major drawback to this website however, is that they have strict "ethical" rules, and have rejected a number of my images due to nudity. I think this is ridiculous... they're just nipples for goodness sake! It's a bummer, because many of my designs will not be available because of this censorship.
Nevertheless, it's a pretty cool service, and you can check it out here. Maybe you can open your own shop!

5 Haircuts that should never make a comeback
A bad hairstyle grabs eyeballs and gets tongues wagging instantly! And while they may be 'memorable', it's definitely not for the right reasons. Often, in order to stand out, we comb, colour, curl and tousle our hair in an attempt to get those strands to behave. But more often than not, the results are less than successful. If you can identify with this, fret not! We bring you some of the most uncool styles of all times. This way, you know exactly what missteps to avoid.
The Bowl Cut
Helmet head, pot top or the bowl cut as we often call it, is a mushroom-shaped mop that was initially designed for the destitute who could not afford to buy some time with a barber. Akin to someone putting a bowl on your head and trimming everything below it, leaving the top untouched—the bowl cut was first glamourised by the character Moe of the Three Stooges, which was later revived by Jim Carrey in the 1994 comic movie, Dumb and Dumber. But unlike Lloyd, life isn't a slapstick comedy.
The Mullet
The varying lengths of these locks live up to their reputation: business up front, party at the back. If there is anyone to be blamed for making this obnoxious hairstyle the talk of the trailer park, then it will be Miley Cyrus' dad, Bill Ray Cyrus. To be fair, we can't just blame Mr. Cyrus alone for this mane disaster –celebrities like Paul McCartney, Andre Agassi and Michael Bolton have all worn their noggins in this look.
The Rat Tail
Remember the Argentinean footballer Rodrigo Palacio sporting his long hair extending from the back of the head in a way that resembled the appendage on the rear end of a rodent? We are yet to understand why Rodrigo chose to sport such a style, especially at a time when what was left of his locks were bidding goodbye. Having said that, the 80s witnessed this style go mainstream in order to pull off a 'cool' look, and not be a party pooper, but circa 2014, it isn't that cool now, is it?
The Flattop
When Jamaican singer Grace Jones sported this hairstyle back in 1981, little did we know that eight years down the line, one of the biggest stars in Hollywood would be spotted sporting a similar do! We're talking about Will Smith and his flattop hairstyle, which he debuted as part of the rap group 'DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince' in the late 80s. Done with the help of an electric clipper and a comb, the squarish shape requires the wearer to get the top lopped as often as once a week, and that level of precision is scary sometimes.
The middle-part mushroom
Not sure if there's a tasteful moniker for this hairstyle fad. Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Nick Carter, Brett Lee and Leonardo DiCaprio have all successfully carried this look, but just because it looked good on them does not mean it will look good on us. Parted down the middle, this trend spread across the teen heartthrob board like wildfire and this haircut was the jack of all trades.
So what's your take on our list? Do you agree with us or wait a second – are you still sporting one of these styles?
