But this icon can take care of itself. =D

The dragoncon people added another B5 person - someone I saw the first year we went and was too shy to talk to, sittin' all alone at his table. Now I may have to get a guilt autograph. Frankly, I suspect I'll consider going to talk to them and end up hiding behind a beam across the room. o_o

And Karen Allen (aka Marion Ravenwood). Who I'm not excited to see, but I think it's pretty cool she said she'll come.

me: *snort* Well maybe it was made for an American audience. Or an audience of Jonos.

Jono: There are millions of me. D:

me: Terrifying

Jono: Quick, look behind you! There are three of me! =O Ohnoes they've disappeared.

me: Yeah, they scatter when you turn the lights on. awe::

Jono: mrf::

me: Epic. Burn.

Jono: You suck. )

"Ooof! His force bolt is lightning swift!!! I couldn't outspeed it!"

I don't think Stan was doing his best work on this one.

29 As a 1930s wife, I am Poor Take the test!

I mean really, I can't remember the last time I darned my apron.

"They hydro-therapy jets are therapeutic! =D"

Um, wouldn't they need to be, since otherwise ... christ ... GET THESE PEOPLE A THESAURUS. >(

Also, people suck and I don't like them. Just because I haven't said it in a while.

You know what'd be a fun universe to live in? The one in Singin' in the Rain. Where you stay up all night with your friends, working on a problem, and then at the end instead of being really tired or going to IHOP, you perform a beautifully choreographed number, complete with an original song.

Then when that's over you giggle and collapse on the couch like nothing unusual just happened.

I could go for that.

I'm up early (to nap before work later, I guess), so I ordered Enchanted from OnDemand. They've just crossed over into the non-animated part so I guess the bulk of the animation is behind us.

I'm ... not impressed at all. I mean, I'm very happy that they decided to use some traditional animation, and looking forward to the other movies they have in the works but ... I dunno. It's like they forgot how to do traditional animation. It looked like the old Disney Afternoon/One Saturday Morning quality stuff. Maybe they're just out of practice...

Edit: Okay I was wrong, there's more animation interspersed, and it's not any better.

2nd Edit: Well the animation didn't get any better, but the movie was cute. I'd put it behind Meet the Robinsons but ahead of Cars. ...that makes me want to rank all the Disney films I've seen...

What type of Fae are you?


This actually sounds the most like me of any time I've done this test.

As part of ... some kind of promotion or deal or other, Harper Collins is making Neil Gaiman's novel American Gods available online, in its entirety, for the next month.

Link! http://tiny.cc/WRiXE

If you haven't read it, I encourage you to give it a gander. If you have read it, click the link anyway? The more people who show an interest in it, the more likely it is they'll release more books this way and 'free' books for the masses = t3h awesome. :3

Caroline says:
In the Rapture do we go to hell?

McB says:
Reno does.

Caroline says:
Because we're atheists? Scott and I need to know to pick a dog.

TRP says:
>.>

McB says:
....What? No.

McB says:
In the Rapture you just don't get taken up. Then you've got seven years to rescind your heathen ways.

McB says:
Reno'll go straight to Hell though. They need Generals.

Caroline says:
Okay good. So we should pick a dog that can defend us.

TRP says:
It'd be pretty easy to figure out God really exists when he shows up to take people away. So I think we're good.

TRP says:
Also Reno probably gets some horrible cat ruler position in hell.

Caroline says:
Scott: Well I think we'll be okay. If we're at the mall and 73% of the people disappear we'd be like "Oh I guess we were wrong."

Caroline says:
Apparently Scott and Jennifer will survive, anyway.

TRP says:
XDDDDDD

TRP says:
People: *dissappear*
Scott: Huh. My bad.

TRP says:
Just as long as I won't be punished for raising a demon cat.

Caroline says:
Maybe he'll look after you. Make you his assistant or something.

TRP says:
That's true.

TRP says:
"You. You fed me. So you can have your own office."

So Heathers just came on ABC Family, which made me squee a little. And at the beginning as Heather Chandler is putting her hair back, with her trademark red scrunchie, I'm like:

Me: *flail*
Scott: Huh?
Me: *pulls red scrunchie out of hair* =D
Scott: *laughs*
Me: No seriously. That is why I bought this. Maaaaaany many many years ago. =D
Scott: ... *increased laughter*

This scrunchie has held up pretty well.

In other news, Christian Slater could fall out of this into a Hot Topic today and still fit in. Scary.

Well apart from the fact I am home sick with a fever. Anyway...


TRP says:
psh. we all know you wanted naked pictures of me in the shower.

McB says:
Only because I don't believe that you bathe.

TRP says:
Oh yeah? Your face!

McB says:
Shuttlecock!

TRP says:
Your shuttlecock's face!!

McB says:
Your mom's a shuttlecock!

TRP says:
Your mom's face is a shuttlecock's face!

TRP says:
Face!

TRP says:
*z snap*

McB says:
Fine, Jen. It's time for the big guns.
I'm rubber, you're glue. Whatever you say, bounces of me and sticks to you.

TRP says:
Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. Face.

McB says:
You know what sticks and stones also break? Your face. Which is a shuttlecock's mom's face's shuttlecock. Yeah.

Caroline says:
port

McB says:
....Caroline wins.

TRP says:
Dammit..

Caroline says:
=D

McB says:
Somebody LJ that. XD

TRP says:
We were pwned.

I am kinda like pancakes though.

That was an unsanctioned migraine. I had no triggers yesterday, with the possible exception of a cold front that is still -well well- to the west. Too far to be a factor under the rules that were laid down but the Migraine Tribunal when my triggers finally stabilized and sorted themselves out.

Also my auras, while varied and entertaining, have been chosen from a set selection for the past ... 15 years, give or take. Using a *new* aura, so that I don't know that it's just an aura and requires immediate Excedrin, is dirty pool, and I won't stand for it.

Expect to hear from my lawyers.

It really wasn't that good. It wasn't -bad-, per se, but I don't have any interest in buying it on dvd. That's usually a good watermark, I think.

I have a variety of general complaints, as follows.

I think it's a stupid idea to make the first few frames of your movie a spoiler of the end.

I realize the idea behind the opening part was to establish the characters in one of the only ways available if you're gonna use the hand camera feel exclusively, however the way it plays out is VERY VERY much like watching someone you don't know's home movies. Read: Boring as shit. By the time things finally started blowing up, I was actively looking for a way to fast forward the rest of home movie time.

I think it's too soon to blatantly rip-off 9/11 footage for the sake of a monster movie. That was really the only part of the movie that made me feel ill.

It was pretty much a typical monster/slasher movie, as opposed to a horror or thriller. There was lots of bad dialog (though there were moments that were pretty good), and lots of people making decisions that made you think 'Well hell, you just deserve to die now, dumbass.'

Also, I've seen the Statue of Liberty in person. I'm pretty sure the head would have to be bigger than that. I suppose I could be wrong, but I remember the toe was pretty f'in big. Maybe it's a forced perspective thing...

Oh and *edits in* ... Personally, I would have dropped that damn camera on the roof. Scott pointed out (as did one of the characters) that in the media culture we live in, other people would probably think what the character did - that it should be documented (and probably sold to CNN at some point). I concede that he has a point; I've certainly seen a lot of people risking themselves unnecessarily to get cool tornado footage. But -I- still would have ditched the freakin' camera.
