i think we should bring back the bsc books in a big way. the big comeback novel will be called "kristy and the mystery of the swine flu", in which kristy recruits the rest of the babysitters to tackle the swine flu epidemic (a very pertinent issue that is sure to grab the attention of american, canadian, and mexican audiences). sure there will be challenges along the way...like, for example, how they possess minimal credibility in the scientific world...middle school biology is just not going to cut it, even if mallory probably DID get straight a's. it's not her fault she has glasses and is thus stereotyped as the smart one, slash nerdo-4-lyfe. i know for a fact that claudia would not be able to contribute much, considering she was flunking her class in dawn and the haunted house. *sidenote, i don't know why dawn was the protagonist here considering claudia ended up being at the center of the mystery. actually, this title makes little to no sense considering there was no haunted house involved, just a crazy old cat lady who they all assumed was a witch after jumping to conclusions.* but back to the pending novel. mallory will clearly be the one doing all the research. dawn will be out saving the pigs or whatever it is californians with blonde hair (slash californians) do all day, while claudia will be designing fashionable swine flu masks to sell at the arts and crafts fair like in claudia's missing jewels. stacey will be baking cakes and cookies that look like pigs, aka things she can't eat since she has diabetes, to raise money for research. kristy will be out bossing people around and stealing some of the research money to buy herself a new baseball mitt. meanwhile maryanne will be quietly commenting on how sorry she feels for everyone who has swine flu, and getting shut-down on all her ideas by the rest of the babysitters. together they will come up with an unlikely solution inspired by the rodowsky kids. now, i'm not saying i have a real solution to the swine flu, i'm just saying it might not hurt to check the healing properties of a little finger paint and glitter. the novel will be available for purchase through the scholastic book company in the fall of '09. oh, and i forgot, a couple of the babysitters might catch the flu (i'm not saying who, but i'm sure you can guess), and thus will be permanently quarantined. to make up for their abscence, i'll introduce some guest-star babysitters, probably mischa barton and lindsay lohan seeing as how their careers are tanking and they'll take any work they can find. despite my dislike for mischa, and semi-dislike for lindz, i figure i'll at least save $$$ on food expenses by hiring them. i plan on paying them in cigarettes and black nail polish.

kristy, i hate to break it to you, but you're going to get swine flu if you keep up this behavior. not that i would mind...but if you do catch it, could you plz take mal down with you? i really think it would be for the best as the whole bsc would increase in likeability. here is another episode of the best/worst show ever, entitled maryanne and the brunettes. not only does it teach us that we should dislike brunettes (like myself...it taught me the value of self-loathing), but that we should also always trust boys with southern accents, especially ones named logan, because they're super nice. this episode also teaches us that kristy is a super betch, and that girls with accents reminiscent of new jersey, long island, and other places we associate with hair gel, tanning salons, and the mafia, are always trying to steal your boyfriend but in the long-run will ultimately fail due to their poor reputations. and overuse of blue eyeshadow. really, marcy, you're on the road to prosti-dom. (ps i really have nothing against people with accents...in fact, i sometimes wish i possessed the street-cred that i assume comes along with having an accent. unless it's a midwestern one...in that case, thanks but no thanks.) and just in case you'd like a rendition of the bsc themesong as performed by alex hurst and myself, here is the link to our masterpiece (which i've blogged about before but will do so again).

mas babysitters club por favor

ah, my dreamz have come true now that some kind soul has uploaded a plethora of the babysitters club videos to youtube. i'll put one up here...ps, listen closely to the intro...it confirms everything i previously suspected about the character hierarchy. claudia is everyone's favorite, followed closely by stacey, followed by pretty much everyone else we don't care about. dawn gets a shout-out for having blonde hair, congrats on that one. mal gets snubbed hardcore, loves it. and check out zach braff from back in the day in this episode. ugh freaking dawn. such a tree hugging granola crunching californian. i will not save the trees, dawn. i will not. i will enjoy your poor acting skillz, though.

could it be MORE bsc?!?

the answer is yes. yes it could. i would just like to give you the links to these two blogs, which are entitled what claudia wore and claudia's room. i think we can now ascertain that everyone liked claudia the best, and we can assume that everyone hated mallory the most. read this blog entry from what claudia wore, it's super great...

photographic evidence of mallory's misfortune and claudia's fierceness:

<----judgment (it's ok bc it's claudia)

<----agression towards red hair

<----indifference/acceptance (pathetic)

<----entertained by mal's imperfections

more bsc plz

as i sit here in fellows, watching alex watch the babysitters club special christmas on youtube (above), i realize that i can still squeeze in a little more bsc discussion before this weekend is over. so i think the main thing that i want to talk about is stacey and her diabetes. during the christmas special, she over-indulges (slash stuffs her face) with about a thousand christmas cookies, candy canes, and brownies. i think it was the brownie that finally did her in. her broken record response when the other babysitters comment on the potential dangers of this behavior is "c'mon, guys, it's christmas!" well, stacey, i hate to break it to you, but diabetes doesn't take a vacation. moral of the story is that stacey is a loser and not as cool as claudia and now we know that if you have diabetes you shouldn't eat all that stuff or you'll end up in the hospital on christmas. srsly.

*ps, i'm seriously considering making shirts with stacey's face on them that say "diabetes doesn't take a vacation". if you want one, let me know. this could be big.

say hello to your friends, babysitters club...

alex and i did this amazing rendition of the babysitters club themesong friday night. all that's missing is the fade-in to kristy's dumb house, and of course the cord phone. and mallory. where is she now?

*ps, those are definitely alligators that we're using as microphones. innovative.
