So I have heard of a show being made called “The adventures of Pleakley” but there is virtually nothing about it on the web that I can find. Everything I find says the same thing:
“The Adventures of Pleakley is an animated cartoon created by Dean DeBlois and is a co-production between Media Rights Capital, Brookwell McNamara Entertainment and Walt Disney Television Animation.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Pleakley

Again, I know nothing about this. Could be nothing, could be a show in the works, could be some shorts played after movie ends or anything. I guess the title “The adventures of Pleakley” got me wound up and just motivated me to write a journal about something I enjoy. I could be wrong about everything but I still wanted to write something, in case there is a new animated series being made for Pleakely. In which case, I will add the following entry.



I don’t think it has been made yet, but what would a show about everyone’s favorite cross-dressing alien be about? Would it be about his time in space when he worked as an Agent for the Galactic Federation or would it continue to be about his life on Earth with his new family? Would is be a spin off of the Lilo & Stitch animated series or would is not even have anything to do with the series, like ”Stitch has a Glitch” which shrugged off the series (and for the better I would say) and would Jumba be in this as well? It’s clear that Jumba and Pleakley are very close. Unless it was in space before the movie I don’t know why Jumba would not be in this, though I don’t see David Ogden Stires name anywhere in relation to this. This would be upsetting for me I think, but you can see I don’t know anything because there is nothing I can find! One could only hope, and trust Dean DeBlois, co direct of Lilo & Stitch would stay true to the character and keep Pleakley just the way he is now, that’s how we love him!

I am convinced that Pleakley is ultimately Dean’s character and he cast the brilliant Kevin McDonald as his voice actor because of his admiration for him from role as a founding member of the Canadian show The Kids in the Hall, a sketch comedy troupe. A show notable for (and loved for) it’s use of drag, not always as a form of comic relief but also so the cast members themselves could play the part of the female roles.

Sound familiar? If it does it’s because Pleakley utilizes drag often, as he is “Mrs. Jookiba, Jumba Jookiba’s “wife” in all the movies and even more so in the animated series from the Disney Channel. There is a lot of Kevin McDonald in Pleakley, though the character has his own set of loveable quirks. Of course, being a product of Disney, it would be hard for anyone to cop to Pleakley being a gay character, though there is ample evidence that could aid to prove this. Dean DeBlois himself is openly gay and Lilo & Stitch was a film promoting in a very positive light alternative families.



“Ohana means family, family means no one gets left behind - or forgotten."

Recently there has been an anime made called Stitch! that is currently airing in Japan but will be airing for the Disney channel later on, this is a terrible show and tosses to the wind everything that Lilo & Stitch stood for, this show is basically a cash cow so Disney could make more money over seas which is very disheartening. Take into account that Chris Sander nor Dean DeBlois had anything to do with this show, or the American series as for as I know, other than Chris Sanders still doing the voice for Stitch.

This is why I have a glimmer of hope, if this “Adventures of Pleakley” becomes a show, at least Dean DeBlois would be involved in it, being the creator and therefore staying true to Pleakley, who I wouldn’t want to see changed for the world. I am anxious to see how this develops. Right now I am nervous because I have just seen this character through some hard times and some poorly written episodes and I would hate to see him ruined somehow. Dean and of course Kevin, here’s looking at you! Do Pleakley proud! :)

Apparently Pleakley is gone from in font of his station in Disneyworld…is it wrong that this makes me upset? I first heard about this on Twitter and shook it off as a cruel misunderstanding but here is a photo! UGH!!! *slams head on table*
Pleakley, you better march your three effin’ legs back there and wait for me! …Please? :(


I want him to come live with me if he can’t be in Tomorrowland!

So I’m thinking I seriously need to change my Livejounral layout but I’m a little concerned…I made my layout years ago when I had a LJ subscription and it’s just been this way ever since but I really want to change it. I think I can do the basics still, like change the color and font but I’m afraid that since I don’t have a paid account I won’t be able to and I might mess up what I have trying to fix it XD I really don’t want to have to choose from the default layouts JL is offering -_-;;
Yeah, I just wanna be out with the old, in with the new if you will – if anyways can help out I’d appreciate it! :D

It sure is an exciting time to be an Americana and have a voice in this historic one in a life time election. Today and 8:00am I voted, rain and all and am proud that I cast a vote that will help shape America. The definition of what it truly means to be president and to lead is in our hands. We need change, we want change and we must prove it! The mold is ready to be broken and hope is finally at our fingertips, don't let it slip away. Not again, not ever again! Get out and vote!

"Together, we cannot fail. Not now. Not when we have a crisis to solve and an economy to save. Not when there are so many Americans without jobs and without homes. Not when there are families who can't afford to see a doctor, or send their child to college, or pay their bills at the end of the month. Not when there is a generation that is counting on us to give them the same opportunities and the same chances that we had for ourselves.
~Barack Obama

It’s hard being an Obama supporter in north Idaho but one I am and have been for as long as this campaign has been running and that’s a long time! I can’t believe it’s already been 8 moths since the February caucus was held and to my surprise a lot of people showed up in support but as November 4th draws nearer the campaign tactics keep getting worse, never is that more true than in my home state of Idaho. Over the past 7 and a half years it has been almost tortuous to live around here politically speaking. Confederate flags run ramped around town and it is statistically one of the most conservative states in America, even more so that Texas and I call it home. Never the less, I must support my candidate, it is my duty I feel to express myself and show people in the area that they are not all so narrowly like-minded.
On statuary I went out with a few other democrats and we showed our support for Obama-Biden and other local candidates running for office on the side of the highway, as we did 4 years ago and when a man actually swerved toward us with his car. I can’t say it all went smoothly this year either but the support that we were shown made me feel good. Swarms of cars would drive by met by thumbs up, waves of encouragement or my favorite, the car horn, sometimes so many people wound honk at a time it sounded like a traffic jam, music to my ears. Now that’s the good, but what I notice about the people who disapproved of this is the bitterness and anger that was shown. I can’t tell you how many middle fingers I saw, lost count, we just had to smile and wave. We got a “Go back to California!” which was particularly amusing to me because from where I was standing I could see the hospital where I was born. Others would roll down their windows and say awful things, sometimes racist things, things that show how educated the people were on the candidates, which was very little, only to quickly roll their windows up again. That’s an easy way to deal with something I think. Shout at someone then look the other way so you don’t have to hear anything else. Some would drive by, cover the ears and yell. That was the pattern, at one point a man pulled up on his motorcycle and said, “This is a red state and Obama doesn’t stand a chance so you might as well just pack up and get out of here!!” we were instructed not to interact with the people but it was really hard to hear that and not say anything. I just thought, “As it is your right to pull up and yell it is out right to stand here peacefully. To each their own.”
Despite all of that is was still fun in a way and the others who came to help were so nice. I certainly hope people understood that we were out there so that we were heard, and we will be back for the next two weekends for the same reason. Still, I was impressed by all the positive waves and similes and peace sings that passed us by. So, does America want change? I hope so; we’ll just have to wait till Election Day when everyone must vote in this historic election. No matter who you vote for, get out there! History will be written in the ballot box this year and I’m wishing for hope.

My Dolly dream has come true! Here is is, my beautiful CP Delf Yder boy from Luts and I simply adore him. I think his face is just wonderful…wel, I like everything. the Delf body sculpt is amazing and has a nice realistic feel to me. Also the attention to detail blows me away, his hands are so striking. He’s my lovely Victorian boy…well, I do have a wondering SD sized kitty ears for him as well, so he’s also my Neko boy <3 I hope someday I can acquire a steampunk look for him but for now, I’m more than happy with my Hollis.
You can check out my Flickr account for more photos! I'm also happily awaiting the arrival of my sisters doll who cannot come soon enough!

An opening sequence add done for BBC Olympic coverage by Jamie Hewlett, creator of the Gorillaz. I’m ever impressed by his work; his style is amazing and cannot be missed.
It is a tale based on the Chinese story Journey to the West but the Birds Nest stadium has been incorporated into it. It’s very cool if you ask me. Would be a great animated movie I think.


Here is a LINK to some more information some may find interesting :)

My ABJD dream is coming true! Believe me, I am trying very hard not to fan girl all over this and am keeping my finger away from the “Caps Lock” button because this could all easily be in all caps! An BJD (“Asian” Ball Jointed Doll), or as I so affectionately refer to them as around the house as, “Dollies” are less for playing with and more for sitting there and looking marvelous :D
I finally ordered my doll *faint* It’s been a long wait and a lot of research, about a years worth. After looking at dolls all over the internet I finally decide on a Luts Delf doll, and believe me, there are countless different styles of doll! It blows my mind, something out there for everyone and even tho there are many different styles out there they are all beautiful. He’s got a very pretty face, just what I wanted in a bjd. I wanted a very pretty faced boy bjd for some reason, in anime and RL I tend to like a more rugged appearance but I made an exception for the doll. Actually it is not hard to find boys and girls with stunningly beautiful faces; it is however harder to find more of a masculine featured doll. But they are out there!
So he cost me an arm and a leg but I love him already…so even though I won’t have extra money for other hobbies it’s a decision I had to make. So when he finally comes, and it will be an arduous wait, around 45 days I will take the first photos of him to share! <3


And in other, less exciting news…

I am having a few electronic woes. Firstly, my sister and I share a tablet and it’s on the fritz…it’s about four years old so I hope It keeps working until we can replace it, don’t know when that will be. And my laptop battery won’t hold a good charge anymore and has to be plugged into the power cord constantly. This is upsetting because my old power cord will not work anymore so I have to bum power from my sister’s cord and it’s really inconvenient…and my beloved camera is getting old too. It still takes a good picture but it’s getting slower and slower! I really hope all these things last a long while longer because I really appreciate them and they cannot easily be replaced. :(

And I am feeling a little better…I think there is something wrong with me…yesterday I just felt a little dead and drifty. I had a huge headache which lead to a stomach ache and I just felt weak. My stomach has been burning and I’m all congested. I thought I would lie down so plugged my headphones into my ears and turned on my one of my favorite albums, Jack Johnson: Curious George: Sing-A-Longs And Lullabies Form The Film on my iPod and stated it at, Lullaby but Matt Costa…then closed my eyes, I could have listened to more but my cat jumped on me and startled me awake. 8 songs later I was a little better, but I still feel strange today. Jack Johnson and I have been through a lot and when I listen to him everything else just seems to get a little less stressful. I spent the better half of yesterday lying in an uncomfortable position in an oversize green tee-shirt and sweatpants watching Thunder Cats (Hooooo) and feeling anxious. I had to cancel going to my friends Ka-Rynn’s house today because I don’t feel well and I kinda have been confused all day...
I've been waiting for somethings miraculousness to happen to me, I don't know what but just something hilarious or charming I could write a fun journal about...I've been waiting about a month for this to happen but nothing yet...hm, maybe June...
