I can't find the website, but it has cool wallpapers for your desktop.. It has for different resolutions, and you can also search for abstract, or music or whatever wallpaper (or background) you want. Any ideas? Thanks :D

i'm trying to find this music site, where you type in an artist and gives you a list of similar artists. i remember after you typed in the artists name, it would have their name in a circle, with lines stretching out to the similar artists which were also in circles. say i typed in Lady GaGa, one of the circles attached to her would be Cyndi Lauper. if you clicked on Cyndi Lauper, it would have artists similar to her. and you could keep going like that.


it's not Musicovery, liveplasma, or Pandora. it's driving me nuts that i don't remember it! D:

what was that book?

I'm looking for a book that my husband has been looking for, but he can't remember the name or author. I really want to get this for him for Christmas since he has been looking for it for years! Can anyone help me out?

It's a story about an astronaut in the future (not too distant future, I don't think) and they send him to an alien planet (maybe Alpha Centauri?). The story is kind of a graphic novel type book, and the pictures are CGI to make them look like real photos. He crashes his ship and ends up dying in the end, I think. It had a hard cover and was an oversized book. I think it came out some time between 2005-2007, but not 100% sure. No idea who the author was.

name of a children's game

Dec. 14th, 2009 | 12:09 pm
posted by: [info]ideasasopiates in [info]whatwasthatone

recently i've seen a commerical for a children's game (for kids 8-12, maybe?) where two opponents face each other with a partition-like game board standing upright between the two. each player has what looks to be like 25-30 caricature mugshots, and by process of elimination (asking questions like, "do you have a large red nose?") players are able to deduce which character their opponent has assumed the identity of.

does this sound familiar to anyone? i think my niece would love this.

thanks in advance.

Site for charity-related gifts?

Dec. 14th, 2009 | 05:32 pm
posted by: [info]innervoice_chan in [info]whatwasthatone

Last year I found a site that offered charity-related gifts as an alternative to normal gifts, e.g. instead of giving your cousin a soccer ball, you could tell him "I donated $20 in your name to build a soccer field in a village in Africa", that sort of thing.

It was really well organized, with the gifts organized by type (e.g. environment, education) but also organized by price, like you could search for "gifts under $10", "gifts $10-$20", etc.

Anyone know what this site is? TIA!

i think this movie was set in the 80s (and maybe released in the 80s). the main character is a part of the rebel crowd, i think. and she's an artist but cant afford art school so her teacher submits her art and she gets in. i think the art school was in NY.
sorry so vague, just had randomly thought about it and would like to see it again.

There's a flash game I've played a few times, but I always forget the name. It's fairly simple: it involves a single character in an old-timey diving suit (like this one). The goal as the character is to jump from rock/hard surface to rock/hard surface until you eventually reach the sea floor and the awaiting treasure chest.

I keep thinking it's called "Pearl Diver" or "Deep Sea Diver," but I'm not sure. Googling has failed me.

Thanks in advance!

Hoping someone here can help me, because the net has been no help.

As a 10-12 year old I was given a video board game by a family friend (pretty advanced for the 90's!), called Nightmare. You had to watch the video as you played and follow both on screen and board instructions. My friend was given the "companion" game for Christmas, which featured a witch (?) and possibly took place in outer space.

I can only find Khufu in relation to Nightmare, not the other game. And Khufu is a super crappy spinoff which I refuse to buy. So any help with the other game?

TIA!

This is a bizarre question, but I need the answer!

My hairdresser was doing a practice run of my hair for my wedding. He described it as Grace Kelly in "High Society" but that doesn't seem right. What I'm looking for is Grace Kelly(??) with her hair up in a bun, with barrel curls around the bun. Also, the bun is high on her head, so the curls spill over towards her face (but obviously nowhere near her face)

Is the actress even right?

kid's videos nursery rhymes

Dec. 13th, 2009 | 12:23 pm
posted by: [info]sneakishfrog in [info]whatwasthatone

hello! i'm remembering a live-action video from when i was a kid - late 80s, maybe early 90s - that was a bunch of different nursery rhymes stories. specifically i remember Little Miss Muffet. i think they were presented on a stage, where the emcee would give an introduction out in front, and then the camera would zoom in to the action on the stage.

i'm pretty sure it was adults playing the characters, and possibly there were puppety creatures involved too.

and i know it was not Faerie Tale Theatre, or Mother Goose Rock N Rhyme, and i'm somewhat certain it wasn't Jim Henson's Storyteller. these were definitely nursery rhymes rather than fairy tales.

Goodbye, cruel cat_lovers!

Over in [info]cat_lovers (Yes, [info]cat_lovers wank. Who knew?) [info]ibritt posts a series of pictures making it appear that President Obama is throwing a snowball at a cat.

It's worth a giggle, except to [info]_magicsocks , who "fail[s] to see the humor in that", along with an icon about abusing stupidity.

She couldn't careless what other people think of her.

She's done (done, I say!) with the chat. So if you don't hear from her, that's why! (JSYK)

But she's not a drama queen - she deleted a bunch of comments. Not in the thread - in her email.

The best part though isn't when she flounces: "But after the crap that took place in this community over something stupid and some kept it going. I could have understood it if it was about being mean to a cat or something like that. But it was a simple misunderstanding. I won't be in a community like that."

It's when she flounces and comes back to comment more! (Be on the lookout for hilarious malapropism, and calling of the "grammer police")

You see, she didn't think it was a fake picture! Luckily, she has an advocate in nutbar lil_goldielocks. She's an animal lover and KNEW it was fake and STILL didn't find it funny!

Scene from TV Show/Film/Music video?!?

Dec. 13th, 2009 | 12:26 pm
posted by: [info]tokyo_girlie in [info]whatwasthatone

Yesterday I remembered this scene from something and I can't for the life of me remember what show or film it was from. Help.

- It was in a restaurant/bar/hotel lounge and it was all expensive looking with gold fittings.
- 3 or more girls come in and start being really loud. The climb over the sofas and people start looking at them.
- They came to embarrass a man that was in there who looked like he was having a meeting.
- The sofa they climbed over was facing the camera, so they came into the shot.
Please help, it's driving me crazy.

I'm having crazy issues remembering the name of a band I used to listen to a few years ago.

The only things I remember about them:

- I think they won some kind of contest on a tv show that landed them their record deal, not sure though.
-Their (first? only?) album had a lot of pink on the cover
-One of their videos had some chick opening up a crate with the lead singer in it, but he was a robot and then he like tried to steal the stage from the real version of himself.
-One of their songs had something about burying a hatchet in the backyard, and another had something about melting into glass and I keep thinking it has to do with a car wreck or something.


Sorry that I'm being pretty vague, but that's all I can remember and I'm about to gnaw off my own arms over this. Thanks in advance for anyone who can help!

ETA: Found! The band is called Nightmare of You. Thanks everyone!
