Here’s another band from Asia: this time from Japan. I LOVE when marching bands also do choreography.

Oh wow, I don’t think I have seen a marching band from Asia. (Or maybe I just wasn’t paying enough attention in past parades.) This is an all girls band from Taipei, Taiwan.

Okay so this is a float for Almond Breeze (blah blah, corporate sponsorship) but these bees are very cute. I also appreciate the fact that someone designing this float thought “I think some bees are redheads.” I agree.

I am just a sucker for a showy, well coordinated marching band. And there are so many in this parade!

Wow, these Rosemount HS marching band (from MN) uniforms are cool.

Ooh, I like this float! From local animation company: Stoopid Buddy Stoodios

Fitz and the Tantrums were a fun, high energy pick to start out the parade but not their best song. :/

Mario Lopez (who just works so much) and Ana Gasteyer feel awkward co-hosting for NBC. Still miss Stephanie and Bob and their thinly veiled contempt for each other towards the end.

I’m going to be annoying for the next couple hours while I live-toot while watching the #RoseParade. As a native #Angeleno I grew up watching this damn #parade on TV every New Years morning. It’s nostalgic and it’s a personal tradition.

Happy new year! This year I resolve to not change a thing. New year, same old me! Woooo!

Okay so as a concept, everyone is weird in private but for some reason we’re supposed to hide those things in public. And some people are better than hiding those things than others.

But in the history of humans, have we ever tried just being weird in public? I mean, like, EVERYONE not just some subcultures or random folks here and there being their weird, authentic selves.

Would everything collapse? Or would we reach a collective euphoria?

Oh also, could SOMEbody please care about Spider? Geez, the family who basically raised him didn’t even care to try to rescue him at all.

It was… not that different from the first #Avatar: same meaningless plot line, same archetypes (absolute good and absolute evil), same appropriation of indigenous cultures to be “exotic” and “different”.

I did enjoy some things: the idea of being able to communicate with another species and have emotional relationships (but not just that of a pet owner) like those of the na’vi and the tulkun (whales), and always love seeing the fantasy creatures and environments.

In true James Cameron fashion: it was TOO LONG.

It’s 6:40am on Christmas Eve and someone is setting off industrial (professional) fireworks nearby and it sounds like bombs (or what I imagine bombs sound like, having never heard one IRL). I hate it.

Even if it wasn’t Christmas Eve, it’s TOO EARLY.

Hm, folks on this instance, is there a way to follow tags? I can't seem to figure it out
