01:02 am - If Damon and I Lived In Springfield

Previous Entry Add to Memories Share Next Entry

Drat you, Julie. I saw your avatars on Flickr and before I knew it, I was at the Simpsons Movie Web site, too, making my own! Not only did I do one of me, I made one of Damon. Then I made one of Damon from before our South America trip last fall.



Not too style-y. Not too un.Style-y t-shirts in interesting shades of brown. Smiling. Facial hair and long hair.Black t-shirts with weird cartoon faces on them, including one that was an angry cat.
Me,
Damon after spending three months in South America,
Damon for the first 31 years of his life.
Go to www.simpsonsmovie.com to make your own!

As you can see, he came back greatly changed.

It's funny, because last year I was involved with a show I heard people describe as, "If the Simpsons lived in South Park and were Asian, you'd have Cooleyville." (Another tagline I liked was "We can be dysfunctional, too.") The main character I played was not drawn after me, yet some people felt moved to believe it. (I'm gonna take that as a compliment and leave it at that.)




The Web site is up at Cooleyville.tv. Maybe someday the show will get picked up again!

Cheers!
rita

Irvin, you're on Blogspot, right? You should be able to upload images. When you create a new post, just click on the icon to the right of the spell check ("abc") and you should be prompted to upload an image.

no, i'm on blogger, and i know how to upload images that way - though i have maxed out my limit of photos, so now i just link the images to my flickr account.

i meant i don't know how to upload the image to LiveJournal for this reply. :)

Heh. Well, you would just link it to your Flickr, same as for your blog.

I actually made mine last week, too! On July 4th, when I saw Julie's. Wanted to post them ever since. :)

Everybody, put yours up! :) :)

What Rita said. Also, you can do this. Right click on your flickr photo, click on "Copy Image Location", then (in the code below) paste it in where it sez ...

< img src = " ... " >

(Also, delete all the spaces.)

Yeah . . . the store was enabled for a while, ever so briefly, but the show got picked up again right at that same time, so they disabled it.

Your comment made me look, and I reread all the Episode descriptions (under "The Show"). Now I'm all nostalgic.

I know a DVD exists that has an official, Behind-the-Scenes feature with Stephen and Tony, the show's creators. I would love to see that! But I recently ran into one of the producers and got my hands on a marketing copy that contains the first four eps. Woo hoo!!!!

So I'm happy. :)

b4 and after

Rita, I love the before and after of Damon. Do you have a before and after of yourself? Or do you feel less changed than Damon did?

Thanks for noticing!! I do feel the same. I would say the only thing the trip changed about me was it gave me a deep and abiding love of South America. Damon and I have both had major pangs this week. I'm dying to go back.

The trip fine-tuned my philosophy toward life internally, but that's a blog entry for another time. :) I pretty much left what I love here, whereas Damon went off looking for change.

This makes me laugh--especially because the t-shirts actually look like his t-shirts now and before! In addition to switching to more "style-y" shades of brown, one of his old shirts actually has an angry cat on it (albeit making sushi).

I'm laughing,
r

Also, D's easy to make into a cartoon. He's one of those people whose mouths naturally turn upside down. When he smiles, babies laugh.

(I would also mention his eyes that sparkle too much, like anime, but unless I scan a photo and upload it, you'll think I'm just getting mushy.)

Simpsonize Me

(Link)
Making your own Simpsons character is fun, but have you seen this other site?

http://www.simpsonizeme.com/index.php

You can upload a photo and it will create a Simpsons character for you based on that photo. I haven't been able to find a suitable image that works, but Rita, you will be infinitely better equipped to do so than I.
