Chernobyl diaries and the real disaster.


I just found out about a movie that has been out since the 25th that I hadnt heard of til now. Chernobyl diaries, After watching the trailers I have a few thoughts about it. First I officially Want to watch this movie! Looks amazing and is by the same guy as paranormal activity which is the first movie in a long time that scared me. So I have high hopes for this film.Second thought I have is that the ones that are attacking and killing them are the people that were left behind to clean up the mess that were never heard from again, but changed from the radiatiation they were exposed to.

I also wondered if chernobyl was a real place so I googled it. It really did happen (the reactor explosion not the movie lol.) I don't remeber this ever being talked about in school so I was shocked to learn that it was real.

I'm amazed to read that unlike in the movie prypiat "chernobyl" was not evacuated over night. The population of the soviet union wasnt even told anything about the disaster till 2 days after.They attempted to hide what had occured and didnt tell anyone outside of soviet union until some alarms in sweden went off.
This is what was announced 

There has been an accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. One of the nuclear reactors was damaged. The effects of the accident are being remedied. Assistance has been provided for any affected people. An investigative commission has been set up. Source

This makes me wonder what else is being hidden from us. What has governments been hiding that we don't know?
Have you seen the movie? What did you think?

Day 24 30 days of blogging

Been working on a project for a friend in Australia. I am so excited that my crochet is getting to travel the world. Been trying to also work on my media kit and other things for the blog. Going to make buttons at some point but haven't decided on anything yet. I did go through and combine this with my craft blog that is no more so any crafting posts I did in the past have been imported into here.

What I found when Bargin hunting. a week or so ago.

day 22: just dropping in.

Today I just wanted to write what ever came to mind as I didnt like the topic for today. It's been in the 90's lately and I'm already ready for winter. The old man has gone to get me a snow cone. I am working on some more monkeys that I hope to have done tonight. I am working on some posts to be published soon! I recently watched the vow and I really did like it but I didnt like the end of the movie because I wish they showed it instead of just putting the story in writting on the screen.  Also did you see about the mand in the news that was eating anothers face? I mean crazy! So now everyone is talking zombies.  Well I am out for now.

Zombie lost his head.

I was playing magic piano on my iPhone and these songs were free so I looked up the regular versions. Check them out.

Day 20- Someone you see yourself marrying/being with in the future

The guy I'm with now. He doesn't want to be named online because he doesn't believe in such things. I already have the wedding dress but we are waiting till neither of us owe anyone money and our credit is fixed. Mine is almost completely fixed! so maybe in the next 5 years.

Sailor moon monkey

Things that gross me out.

When people put their feet on the dash of a car. If someone did that with their bare feet in my car I'd be pissed. I'm ok if you have shoes on but not your bare feet.

Tennessee monkey

 This monkey was requested by my friend Uli from Germany (no she doesn't still live in Germany.)

White Mage

This white mage was crocheted by my business partner Dream 2 Crochet.

How apple could drop the ball with the next iPhone.

I was just checking my email and found this and I can say they are correct on these (except its bit iPhone 5! )http://lifeofmadtyper.blogspot.com/2012/05/iphone-5-and-why-it-will-never-exist.html?m=1


here is to read what they said:

They also missed making the phone LTE (4G) if apple doesn't do that it could see a lot of users flocking to the 4g compatible androids.

Belkin router review: End of a 6 year journey

I have had my old router since the year I graduated high school. It was not in continuous use as for 2 years I didn't have internet. Once I did get home internet I pulled out my old trusty Belkin router and hooked it up and it worked perfect. As time went I noticed a fall in quality and speeds. No more could I stream Netflix to my Wii, and web pages on my iPhone and tablet either took 5 mins to load or give funny errors. Other times my WiFi network would just  disappear and id have to reboot the router to get it to work again. Recently I made the move to cancel my Dish Network services to go 100% internet TV and that's when the not being able to stream became a problem. In the last few weeks I had been contemplating getting a new router with the money I saved from canceling dish (anywhere from 55-80 a month.). I kept trying to hold off but the other day I was trying to do something and it just got to the point I was so annoyed I decided to do a speed test. This is what I got:

Day 19- Nicknames you have.

Nick names I have.

  • rubes
  • rubers

  • big booby ruby- because you cant miss them.
  • rubyblood
  • ms. blood

Day 18- Plans/dreams/goals you have

My goals are to one day be rich and write/craft for a living. I would like to be able to write some books and then take some time off between each book to crochet some custom creations and make a living without having to rely on a day job. I want to be my own boss and do well. I want to be able to walk in a store and just say you know I would love to use that camera/program ect and just buy it.

My current short term goal is to have a new car paid for in cash by July 201. I started this goal in Jan.

Day 17- Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why

Someone I would like to switch lives with that's a good question.  At this time I would have to say I'm happy to just be me. I cant even think of anyone I would want to be except a me later in life that doesn't have to work for corporate america and self reliant.

Whats going on at Bob Evans....

Was on the way to Walmart and was greeted with this site. Made the joke they must have started to make donuts.

The end of a journey. Black jack 2

The end has come for a trusted phone of mine that I have had for a very long time. The black jack 2 was a wonderful little Samsung windows smart phone that I purchased in 2008. In Jan of 2009 I got an iPhone and the blackjack 2 was inherited by my boyfriend. It was a phone you could step on throw it into a wall etc and still keep on ticking. But I am sad to say that after 4 years of abuse the phone has kicked the bucket. The screen is White and flickers. I'm sure it can be repaired since the sound still works and it still calls out but I can buy a new phone for less than it would cost to repair.


Good bye little blackjack you were the best for so long, and as far as I'm concerned the last of the good windows phones.

Crossfade "Prove You Wrong" Official Video (Animation Version).. my thoughts

The animation in the video is kinds lame. The first 10 seconds makes me think f krilin from dragon ball z. I love the blue tint they did to the video itself. I wish I knew how to do the blue glow that they did on this video. The song itself seems to touch something deep inside my heart. I feel a twinge as I listen to it. Sad that they broke up before their ultimate break came.

Another change?

I was thinking of just combining my craft blog and this blog together after all. What do you think?

Day 14- A picture of you and your family



Sunday, May 20, 2012

Day 13-A picture of something you made recently.

This was to be something else but I didnt like the topic for the day So I changed it. Since its not an Assignment but something I started to inspire me I feel entitled to do so if the subject leaves me at a loss for words.
So something I made recently would be the sailor moon monkey and Tennessee monkey.

Princess peach by dream 2 crochet

My business partner made this lovely peach monkey!

Day 12- How you found out about Blogger and why you made one

I found out about blogger when I was researching where to open a blog. I have had blogger accounts before but I decided I had to many and condensed them all into 2. I created it because I love google products and I believe in what they can do.

Friday, May 18, 2012

Just made a new video!


Put together a piece that we shot a few days ago with music and credits. Tell me what you think!

Elf cosmetics is doing a great deal! Ends 5/21

I got the email that elf is doing a 90% off their brush set with a $30 purchase. I already have stocked up on makeup for awhile so I won't be enjoying this set. Take advantage while you can. offer ends 5/21.ELF

I took a sheet.

Wow. This video had me cracking up. The comments themselves on the video had me rolling. Do not watch this in a location that requires you to be serious because you will bust out laughing and have everyone looking at you. The people that planned this commercial should do bigger companies!

The iPhone 5 and why it will never exist.

Life of a mad typer
Update 9/12/2012   Lame! They just announced iPhone 5 (oh well I am still going to buy it on launch day!)


It drives me crazy every time someone asks me when the iPhone 5 will be out, or when people post their thoughts on "iPhone 5" Here's the thing, you need to stop calling the iPhone 5 because there will never be a 5.
Why do I say this you ask? No, I'm not saying there wont be another iPhone. Apple would be dumb to put the iPhone line off even for a year because they have us in the palm of their hands.

The most adorable video I think I've ever seen


What you asked for! A give-away!

Black Iris Emporium and their partner in crochet madness Dream 2 crochet are doing a give away!


If you haven't checked it out yet go here.

Sailor moon reborn

I am so glad that Sailor Moon has been brought back to life. I plan on buying all merchandise I can get on my hands now that I am older and have a job. When I was younger money for things like this wasn't around. That second sentence really makes me think that it makes me sound older than I am. I am 24 as of 1 month ago so no I'm not some 40 yr old saying that they were a starving college student when sm was out last. I was just a kid from a poor family (who asked for legos every year and never got them.)
Sailor MoonSailor Moon
I know you have already seen my latest crochet creation but I love how she turned out and had to put her in here.

I lost 7 lbs! I'm excited I just hope I keep losing.

Day 8 late

Short term goals for the month ..... I am late because I've been trying to figure out what my "goal" is. So I guess my goal is to get 500 likes on Facebook on business page. Why? Because id love to someday quit my day job.

What I've made.

I made a turtle recently. I took the longest to make this Out of everything I've made in amigurumi. I like how it looks but I don't think I'll do that again.

Day 7 blogging challenge.

I don't like today's task so I'm ping to just post something else. Yesterday we made our rounds to the "junk" stores and got a few things. I got some pins from different movie releases mostly Disney. I also picked up some yarn for cheap and alias season 1&2 for $22 Which means alias is the next thing I start watching. I recently canceled my dish network and was going to start Hulu and Netflix but figured I will watch all the things I have on my pc digital copy/DVDs I haven't watched yet before I sign up. I am planning to do a review of the 2 years of service I got from dish soon I'm just planning my wording before its posted. But I have lost of things to watch. On the list is :(these are things I already own)

•Smallville. All seasons as I only seen a few episodes.
•Xena- ep12 on

Wow I must be tired because I can't remember off the top of my head. oh yeah.

•Hercules- all

I'm thinking about making a page on the blog that shows my "bucket list" of things I want to read,watch,do. I haven't really figured out how I am going to do that. I was thinking about tying to find a code that would allow me to just go on and check things off but I need one the wont just let everyone edit it. I could also just it as a image and edit it by hand each time but that would be a pain. Do you have a suggestion? Let me know!

Also would live to get my hands on Lois and Clark on DVD. LOVED that show!

P.s. s. I also got this awesome music box for $2.50! I'll post a video later at some point because my phone won't let me add it to the post. Maybe that will be my suggestion for the next blogger update.

Day 6 blogging challenge

Favorite super hero and why. My favorite super hero has been sailor moon since I was 4. I always loved the story of reincarnation and true love. She was always my hero.

happy fucking mothers day



I wrote this last year for a old blog and I wanted to re-post it here. Ironically this year its her birthday.


I have been a little upset lately and I keep seeing all these posts about mothers day and it makes me even more upset. Why am I upset you ask? Its because of thoughts that are going through my head. I hate my mother, a bit harse I know, but I just cant forgive her just because she no longer alive. It's the same reason I have yet to get her an urn, because I just cant get over the shit she did to me that im having to deal with as I type this.

Sleep study

I did a sleep study recently because I'm always tired and sleeping a lot. It was a new experience for me. I didn't sleep well with all the wires. I never thought there would be so many. There were at least 10 on my head, 2 by my eyes ,3 on my chin,2 on each leg, and that dumb finger thing for heart beat oh I forgot 2 things in my nose. A belt a cross my chest and around my waist So I had goop in my hair and things in my nose and hands. I sleep on my stomach and on my hand so this caused a lot of issues since they wired everything to the left even after I told them I slept on my stomach so I didn't sleep well and kept waking up. After they said I could go it was 10pm. I tried to get the goop out of my hair using the soap they provided which was the nasty orange hand soap. Went home ate and fell asleep and woke up at 8am the next morning. The results will be here in 2 weeks so we will see what's going on.

Day 5 blogging challenge

Today post is picture of a place I've been. I picked the House of Blues in Chicago. When I was on that floor in front of the stage I was in awe of its beauty. There was a majestic-ness to it, as if I could feel the energy from the building itself. Pictures are from google as I didn't have any pictures of the building itself.

Friday, May 11, 2012

Day 4 of blogging challenge.

A habit I wished I didn't have. I'd have to say it would be the absent minded way I scratch at my face when I'm thinking.

Thursday, May 10, 2012

30 days of blogging day 2

Meaning of blog name.


I was going through some old notebooks that I wrote stories and poems and thoughts in and I had written on the cover thoughts of a mad typer. I though back to what I was thinking then and basically I thought the mad hatter was a hatter who went mad so why not someone who types and went mad! So thus came mad typer. I had originally had it as Bigboobyruby because of my nickname but after thought and input from others I realized the name could be taken wrong and people may think the blog was about something it's not. So I changed it.

30 day blogging challenge day 1

A recent pictures and 15 facts about myself.

1. I was hit by a bus when I was in high school.
2. I have been hit by many cars and other things while on a bike.
3. I am clumsy.
4. I like to read and write.
5. I have been obsessed with sailor moon since I was 4!
6. I am an only child.
7. I plan on being rich someday.
8. I love vampires.
9. I am obsessed with crochet.
10. My favorite candy is milky way or anything white chocolate.
11.my favorite movie is interview with a vampire.
12. I think dani filth is the sexiest man alive.
13. I love going to concerts and getting autographs.
14.i wanted to be an English teacher when I was a kid.
15. I'm an only child.

Redgage

I had been looking at ways to make money online about a year ago and lot of people I know were recommending redgage. So I joined, the biggest thing that people loved about the site was the content importer. I am sad to say its been a year since I joined and I have logged in many times and tried to import and still doesn't work. I have things set to import and was told that sometimes it takes a few days for them to import but a year? Seriously come on.  I have emailed I have commented and still no response from redgage themselves. I checked their blog to see if there was any mention of issues being worked on and what do i find...... they haven't posted in a year. So have you had any luck with redgage or had a similar experience? Please comment below and let me know!

Friday, May 4, 2012

Who flung brains?

One day at the circus, george was on the trapeze. While he swung to entertain the children in the crowd the ropes on one the trapeze that he was holding onto broke and he fell to his death. He came back as ZOMBIE MONKEY and started the zombie apocalypse. (he still loves his trapeze.)
