You kids get outta my yard

2:14pm: Shiny!

Although having just gotten around to watching the final season of the X-Files for the first time ever, maybe I'm not sure sure...

5:25pm: Bree made me do it - Rock band meme

12:05pm: The tyranny of choice
After receiving yesterday's parcel, I am now faced with a very difficult decision...

The Glarkware Metallicar t-shirt or the Glarkware 'Annyong Hermano' t-shirt?

God getting dressed in the morning is hard.

7:32pm: I don't.

Her?

6:12pm: Just back from Borat. I haven't cried so hard in a movie since Dancer in the Dark, but in a kinda different way. I'm also not normally the sort of person who speaks in movies, but there I was, "He's not really going to. He can't. Oh my god, he is. Oh my god, he's really going to do it." The tears, they went on and on.

4:03pm: String
String, string, string, string
Everybody loves string!

String, string, string, string
Everybody needs string!

Pull on your pants
Slip on your vest
Everyone agrees
String is best!

String, string, string, string
Everybody loves string!

6:04pm: Zoidberg says:
Hurry up with the water. I'm steaming inside my own shell, I am. It's that hot, it is!

7:27pm: Sorta true...

you are: twin peaks

A Perpendicular Day To Touch

George Michael stepped terrifyingly out into the lovely sunshine, and admired Maeby's nose. "Ah," he sighed, "That's an itchy sight."

Maeby climbed off the planet and walked happily across the grass to greet her lover. George Michael patted Maeby on the toe and then tried to touch her merrily, but without success.

"That's all right," Maeby said. "We can try again later."

"I'm just not furry," George Michael. "Not as furry as the time we touched in a bag."

Maeby nodded gaspingly. "We were soft back in those days."

"Our knees were younger, and we had a lot more fun with them," George Michael said. "Everything seems wet and green when you're young."

"Of course," Maeby said. "But now we're smoking, we can still have fun. If we go about it noisily."

"Noisily?" George Michael said . "But how?"

"With this," Maeby said and held out a shiny table. "Just take that with some water and in half an hour, you'll be ready to touch."

George Michael swallowed the table at once and sure enough, in half an hour, they were able to touch noisily. They touched like flies on dogshit. Three times.

And then the neighbour told them to get off his lawn.

9:38pm: It'll be pretty hot around there...

5:11pm: So cool!

You're Agent Albert Rosenfield, the snide and
superior forensics expert. Your tongue is
sharper than your scalpel, and it doesn't take
long for people to start hating you for your
supercilious quips, but you are the very best
at what you do. You don't suffer fools gladly,
but you give respect when it's due. In fact,
you're a good guy at heart, but so wedded to
your sarcasm that you can rarely stand to treat
people kindly.


Which Twin Peaks character are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

9:57pm: OK, so I am seriously pissed off. If you don't get the icon, don't bother. But Norbet Meier should be dragged through every court and tribunal until he is banned from the Bundesliga for life. Fucker.

3:43pm: I ROCK!!!
Kitty Pirate as Seal Clubber kills Naughty Sorceress in one attempt, with 1 HP and 15 MP left. Yay me! (Sorry, just had to share...)

9:21pm: wtf have you been up to?
So, to update what I've been doing for the last five days of my life, I've been sitting in a cinema. That's about it really. So, a quick wrap up is in order.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang: read my previous entry, already! I have added Gay Perry as an interest.
Nina: Oh god this was bad! Got attracted to this by the idea that it was based on Crime and Punishment. It so wasn't. Movies about people with psychosis when their psychoses (sp?) aren't very interesting is just boring.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (it just sort of slipped in there): was really looking forward to this. was disappointed :(
Atomik Circus: My, Mrs Depp is just as cute and frothy as ever. Bitch. Well, at least we finally got some schlock and aliens and silliness. Yay, silliness!
The Big White: Lots of snow, Holly Hunter, Robin Williams, Canadians and New Zealanders cavorting with one another. OK, but no Fargo.
Una de Zombies: Exxxcellent! I loved Aijón's mother. Oh hell, I loved the whole movie. More stupid zombie movies!!!
The Devil's Rejects: Lost something in the translation from House of 1000 Corpses. Now, it Captain Spalding had kept his make-up on, perhaps it could have worked. Baby was just mean instead of crazy, and although gorier, actually less scary.
Mortuary: Standard horror fare, really dumb ending.
Shutter: a Thai ghost story we saw when Death Tunnel was cancelled due to technical problems. Actually a nice surprise. Had the aesthetic of a Japanese ghost story, a little over done in the trying to make you jump in your seat, but it did make you jump in your seat nonetheless, which is a start.
The League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse: I can only assume this was incomprehensible to people who didn't watch the series. So watch the fucking series!

Also so a number of shorts, my favourite of which was a Dutch tale called Dajo. Desperately need to get my hands on The Big Thing for icon purposes. I'm taking a break until Wednesday, when I'll go to see the "Closing Night Gala" Dear Wendy. The trailers look really ordinary, but it's written by Lars von Trier, and I love Lars von Trier. Must add Lars von Trier to my interests.

Someone wants to take me to Mr. and Mrs. Smith tomorrow. I think this is a bad idea.
Farewell, my lovelies.

12:01am: Robert Downey Jr. - still hot!
Tonight's viewing pleasure was the yet-to-be released flick Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, a post-modern-pastiche-parody-homage-noir-thriller-comedy which really doesn't have to do anything special if it gets all that right. Bob is still as charming as ever (swoon and all that), Val Kilmer is great as Gay Perry, and we get to laugh at people who can't use adjectives and adverbs correctly. Now, come on! Not a bad opening bit of celluloid for the festival. Many other exciting gems to come...

4:41pm: See, sometimes I smile...
A got a couple of giggles this week. The first was from this. I have read that those in the biz refer to this a viral advertising, which quite frankly sounds kinda nasty, and I really think they should see someone about that before it spreads. But seriously, it'll work because it's funny, not because some wanker with a mickey mouse tie has a strategy. Pur-lese.

Second smirk came when I came across this poll question in the Guardian.

I mean, while the statistician in me loathes media survey questions created purely to get non-representative sensationalist responses, I can't stop sporfling at the audacity of trying to make yourself look classy and responsible by adding the world's stupidest disclaimer.

And of course England can't win the Ashes.

(Edited 13/9 for spelling to please the pedants out there...)

10:26am: SCOTTYYYYYY!!!!!!!

10:29pm: I'm not sure where my priorities are
So I'm a bit pissed, as my fave comm over on LJ just self-imploded. Essentially, the toribitchlist was a comm for Tori fans who didn't like Tori fans. Let's be straight here. Tori is teh roxxors, but the last album and the cosmetic surgery have not been kind to any of us. Anyway, a troll started a fire, flamewars ensued, and the mods stood back and did nothing (almost actively, if that's possible). One of the two mods for this 200+ community doesn't have internet access at home, and complains of being too busy at work. Heh? Anyway, then it gets nasty, people offer to help mod, mods take this as a personal affront and BAHLEET the community. A splinter group is formed to try and revive the original ethos of the site, i.e. bitching about funny things.

But here's the thing. Am I pissed because we lost the community, or because what looks from the outside like a wank fest was actually just idiotic and très unfunny, so I miss my first opportunity to post on fandom wank?

I am so shallow.

5:28pm: You know, I've really got to add some interests to my user info. It seems so futile, because I keep changing my mind about what's important enough to add as an interest. Maybe Darth Tater can inspire me...

7:59pm: So, here goes
I wanted to start this whole thing off with a little sad story about myself, but instead got majorly distracted by the whole Fandom_Love thing (see, I get whimsy) and then the mind-boggling fallout. But all that needs to be said has already been said by others much wiser than myself. Shall I return to my original tale? Hell, why not?

I am so sad.
The other day, the bloke and I are watching telly, and he starts channel surfing, as the male of the species is wont to do. We hit upon, and I kid you not, Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla. The scene we come across involves Space Godzilla abducting Godzilla's baby. Godzilla is mighty distressed, as you would be, right. I find this five minutes of B-Movie television most upsetting. Yep, I'm crying. Poor Godzilla! At this point, He thinks it might be a good idea to change the channel.
I am so sad.

Help me. I need friends.
