More ideas I had:

1. I like my pastries at room temperature. I don't mind that other people like their pastries hot, but I just don't care for what warmth does to the texture. I wish there was a reverse microwave.

I know some of you are thinking "there is, it's called a refrigerator or freezer". While this does cool food down, it takes longer than I'd like. If I could get a cookie or piece of pie fresh from the oven, pop it in a reverse microwave for about a minute, and pull it out at room temperature, I would be a very happy Sethifus indeed.

Alas, for now I'll just have to wait and eat my pastries when they cool down on their own.

2. I wish someone would make a ball pit, but instead of balls they would use big, puffy, hollow gold coins. I know I've seen them around, but I have not been able to find them in my google searches.

The point of this fake coin ball pit is that then I could swim in gold coins like Scrooge McDuck!

3. Another thing I wish existed is a set of puppet features (eyes, nose, a hinged mouth) that had velcro or something like that so it could stick to most surfaces. That way you could turn any blanket, shirt, scarf, stocking cap, or other fabric into an improvised puppet!

I think the Henson Studios and Disney could make a lot of money off of this idea.


4. They should make a chess set out of nail polish bottles and/or other beauty products.

In my version of this each color of polish or different product would be a different shaped chess piece.


That's all I got for now! More later, perhaps!

Some videos of songs I wrote...

Here are some more ideas I had to get out of my head. Hopefully someone will do something with them.

1. I work in a preschool so a good portion of my job is wiping noses. When I started working with infants and toddlers I realized that wiping a child's nose is the WORST THING YOU COULD EVER, EVER DO to a child. At least, that's what the children keep telling me as I try to wipe their noses.

I also noticed that children don't mind when you grab their face with a puppet, pretending the puppet is eating their face.

I put the two together in my mind and came up with the idea of a puppet you could use specifically to wipe noses. You pretend the puppet is eating, or "noming", their face and wipe their nose in the process. The mouth would hold onto a tissue, and the puppet would be washable.

I tested my idea with Peepers Puppets:

That worked pretty well. I'd like someone to make a puppet specifically for wiping noses. I don't know if it would work or how long it would work. But I think it is worth a try.


2. This last week was Dr. Seuss's birthday. I think a place that makes slippers should make slippers that look like the socks from Fox in Socks.

They look comfy as all getout and I would totally buy a pair.

3. Finally I have an idea for a commercial compaign for a certain sandwich chain. Many years ago they had a terrible commercial that involved one of their people who make sandwiches dancing as a rap song played about their new wrap sandwiches. I thought it was one of the worst commercials I'd ever seen. My friend Chris Hockley agreed with me and told me about his idea for a good sandwich commercial. Today I made that commercial:

My idea is that this specific sandwich chain could ask for people to make and send in commercials for them to use instead of their not good commercials (only one of their "funny" commercials has ever made me laugh, and I only laughed the first time I saw it). This would be much like what Doritos has done in the past. People could send them in via youtube or another video site.

Or they could set up a neutral background in each sandwich shop with a video camera that would link to a specific site and they could send in their commercials that way.

I don't know if they would want to do this, how much it would actually cost, etc. But I do know that it would result in better commercials than whatever they currently use.

That's it for now! More ideas as soon as I think of them.

And speaking of commercials...

Here Princess Melawesome and I cover a couple local commercials from the Sioux Falls, SD area.

Here's some more ideas:

1. Every college campus should have Ramen Noodle machines in the student center. They probably exist somewhere, but I did not have one in my campus center AND THAT WAS A SHAME! I think if there were a way to get ready-made ramen noodles from a vending machine, it would make the owner a lot of money.

As usual, all images that aren't photos I took are stolen from google image searches.

2. There should be more common words that start with X. That way we could have alphabet cards for school children and other people who are learning to read with pictures other than Xylophones, X-rays, and things like eXtra.

I know there are other X words out there, but they are either things that school children know nothing about or they are proper names like Xavier and Xander. Or they are attached to something commercial.

3. I would love to be able to buy Chinese Food flavored microwave popcorn. There is bacon flavored popcorn:

Cheese popcorn:

There is even popcorn that tastes like a movie theater:

Popcorn is my all-time favorite food. I also like to eat Chinese food. I would love to combine the two and have a new favorite flavor besides salt and butter.

I tried to make Chinese Food popcorn myself once with garlic salt and powdered ginger. It didn't work. There's got to be a way to do it.


That's all I have for now. More idearrhea as it floods out of me.
