First, my wish for the next person who attempts to make a fansite for someone:
May you know almost nothing about your subject, constantly get facts incorrect, not know how to string a sentence together or heed the laws of basic grammar, and may you only be a very casual (non-female) fan who just doesn't give a shit, then, you shall triumph.
Since that's only what's acceptable, it seems. Yeah. *cough*
/bitter
In other news...
I'm waiting for both my laundry and the new Venture Bros. Christmas song, which "drops" (*shudder* hate that term) today sans Mr. J. Urbaniak, unfortunately, but I'm ever hopeful for a beautiful Dean solo of some kind...
Haven't ever heard a VB Christmas song? Some kind lj'er reupped two in this thread, including my personal favorite, "Little Drummer Boy." The way the Monarch says, "I'm David Bowie!" cracks me up everytime. XD
Watched My Name is Bruce last night for the first time and LOVED it. SO many similarities with another actor who seems happy to remain in the belly of the beast of bad b-movies, I was guffawing loudly. It's like Three Amigos with Bruce Campbell & Ted Raimi shemps + loads of in-jokes.
"Are you still here? Don't you have a bad movie to make?"
"Kid, I made a movie in Bulgaria, I'm ready for anything." XD
Of course, Bruce's character is appreciative and helps his biggest fan, but I digress...
Also saw Sex Drive, which was recommended by my podcast peeps...oh, you didn't know I did a podcast? Well, several folks from Indiana took me in as a wayward soul almost a year ago and we have loads of fun and merriment here.
SD was really awesome. The title is misleading - it sounds like a dumb sex comedy, but it has far more heart. It's like a modern-day Porky's - more charming and sweet than raunchy, although there are some scenes that had me covering my eyes and looking for the Clorox. Watch the unrated version for the best "bits," so to speak. It's on Netflix Watch Instantly, so you have no excuse.
Not sure what I'm doing today, but probably something or other outside momentarily. I am awaiting my mom's homemade baking from FedEx, so I may just wait until they arrive - Mmm...date pinwheels and crescents and shortbread...oh my.
Although I'm still somewhat bitter, I'm trying to move on. Many of you who read this lj have been AMAZINGLY supportive, and I thank you and wish you an especially Merry tomorrow. :) I am still a fan, and will still help the fans with my Combsologist skills, I just won't be a vocal cheerleader any longer. Not worth all the heartache for someone who really doesn't want my help or awesome promotional/research skills.
While we're on the subject of bolstering my spirits, if any of my rich (heh!) friends wants to get me something, I have been eyeing this for several weeks. Also, send me some anonymous lurrrrve over at the lj Secret Santa Love Meme. Thanks. :)
I managed to spill water all over my kitchen this morning, but it's pretty much all mopped up and back to normal, so it's all good.
I'm trying to figure out if I should buy one of the new My Little Ponies, if only to own one pony from each collection ever made. They've over-cuted these new ones so badly, that now they just look mutated and warped - My Little Mutant, indeed. I miss my chunky little ponies like Applejack. Hasbro already tried to make little girls paranoid with their eerily ethereally, lithely beautiful, and Gwenyth-Paltrowesque Sweetheart Sisters several years back. And don't get me started on the Beddy-Bye Eyes...that link is for the brave - these ponies are so creepy, you will have nightmares. :/ They also ran out of pony names in about 1992, so little girls now get ponies with names like "Toola Roola" and "Scootaloo." Gone are the days of Moondancer and Posey. *sighs* If I had the money, I'd buy one of Mari's amazing custom ponies. *drools*
If I ever do decide to sell my collection of 80s toys back home, I think I would be a millionaire. ;)
Pretty boring post, yes, but still. I'll probably have something more interesting to say soon enough.
Happy Hols, all. :) *hugs* from me. |

I got home from the drag king show tonight to the following:
DARYN sits down at the computer.
EBONY-ZER the cat enters and prepares to pounce on DARYN's lap.
DARYN fends him off briefly in order to cover his legs better with a blanket or something.
EBONY-ZER proceeds to dump himself into Daryn's arms and won't stop purring and head-butting for at least 10 minutes during which time DARYN can do nothing but hold the cat. After about ten minutes, he scuttles off.
PENELOPE enters the room and starts to meow in a disgruntled tone and try to climb on the stacks of crap under the desk until DARYN leaves the computer chair and lays down on the bed next to her for a while. If he makes any move to leave, she starts to meow her head off and generally make a fussy nuisance of herself. During this time Daryn can do nothing but lay on the bed. Even setting his alarm clocks upsets PENELOPE and she freaks out that he's not paying attention to her.
---
And at this point Penelope has almost lost interest in headbutting my legs. This morning Oswald was rolling around on me, getting cat fuzz everywhere and drooling on my pants. It's been a kittyrific day, all told. |

OH MY GOD DUDES I HAVE FOUND MY APOCALYPSE WARDROBE.
Some of my favorite things.
AAAAH IT IS SO SEXY/USEFUL.
ALSO SEXY ALSO USEFUL.
LOOK AT ALL THE MOTHERFUCKING POCKETS YOU COULD KEEP SO MUCH STUFF IN THEM. AND THEY ARE SLIM FIT AND SEXY AS WELL.
So badass, and still functional!
AAAAH THERE IS LIKE A FANNY PACK ON IT BUT AN AWESOME FANNY PACK.
And this one is mostly your standard "looks awesome but is entirely inappropriate for the situation" article of clothing that everyone must have in the apocalypse. It's for apocalyptic clubbing!
Man, I didn't even look at the prices, because I don't want anything to kill my buzz over how awesome these clothes are. |

Penelope has decided that she wants to walk around outside every single night when I get home from work. I have to stand by her the whole time (after this one incident at the old house when she got herself in a stupid heap of mess, she has lost all unsupervised outside privileges) and she takes like 20 minutes to walk around and sniff shit. It's totally annoying but since she's so effing old I don't have the heart to force her to go back inside before she's really ready to. With all the upcoming changes for me in 2010 I wouldn't be too surprised if I lost her next year. Just cuz she's so old. It's going to fucking kill me when it happens but I'll pretend that being 'prepared' will make it easier.

Shit's been kind of fucked lately on most all fronts. Even when it's good, there's an undertone of awkwardness. For me. I really really need a vacation. But I doubt I have any vacation time right now. |

CANDY-BASED GRIPE OF THE DAY:
America, it is pronounced exactly like it's spelled--Reese's. As in, "H.B. Reese invented this candy. They are Reese's invention. He decided to call them Reese's because it is a possessive and his name is Reese."
IT IS NOT PRONOUNCED "REESEYS."
Side note: I swear to god, if I hear one more person say Reeseys Pieceys instead of Reese's Pieces, I am going to scream in fury until nothing comes out of my mouth but blood, then someone is getting goddamn shanked in the facehole.

Artistically repurposed toys. These sculptures are beautiful and so intricate and inventive.
Okay, I was sitting at the table and talking to my sister, and then suddenly I looked over and Darla was just sitting there like this, watching us talk.

What's the big deal with every movie that has the tiniest smidgen of action in it being 3D lately? SOME OF US CAN'T WATCH 3D, HOLLYWOOD, AND IT'S LAME ANYWAY. WHAT IS THIS, JAWS 3D IN 1983? I'm pretty bummed that I won't be able to watch Sam Worthington sexbomb it up in the Clash of the Titans remake because 3D makes me really violently sick. DANG.
And now, actual promotional materials for S2 of Being Human.
1. If you haven't seen S1, you need to (whole season's on Megavideo).
2. The cast is massively adorable and seriously gay for each other, it's hilarious.
3. The show itself is about a ghost, a werewolf, and a vampire who all live in the same house, have wacky (terrifying) adventures, and basically are all extremely fucked-up and slightly codependent, in a really hot/awesome way. To say anything else would be spoiling it, but if you needed any kind of encouragement to check it out, look back at those pictures. That is what the marketing team is using to draw new viewers for the second season. That is what they thought represented their show and what they wanted viewers to get out of their show.
Yeah. Thumbs and boners up, marketing team. Thumbs and boners up.
I just picked out my hair, and it's pretty ridiculous. I look like I was electrocuted in a cartoon. :/ |

You know, if FMyLife.com ever actually took something I submitted (okay, I've only tried one thing, but apparently forgetting that one's window is down when one drives into an automatic car wash is WAY LESS FML-y than...idk, whatever crap is on there now, i'm not bitter i'm not bitter i'm not bitter), I would be like:
Today, I was eating a delicious Subway turkey sandwich while watching clips of martial arts champions defying gravity on Youtube. I set my sandwich down on the floor because I was finished with it for a few minutes. Then, when I got up, I DID NOT REMEMBER MY SANDWICH and now there is a huge footprint in it and my toes are covered in mustard. FML.

Okay, WTF is with this month? I'm noticing a trend of people losing things - friends, blogs, minds, tempers...all over the map. It's not just me, it seems like everyone is having a tough December.
Is this 2009 just giving us a last kick in the arse before we move on to...*cue eerie music* 2010?
Whatever it is, it can stop anytime now. Thank you. |

Dear Diary, today was a good day. Sean and I went climbing in Concord and then I got to hang with Dana and Khan Estevez for a while. They got some cute little photo books made and even used one of the pictures I took of the baby and I got one and it is SO fucking cute.
Then Lisa and I went to see Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971) at the Paramount which is a fucking gorgeous theater by the way, and I had never seen that movie in a theater and it's such a great movie. That was awesome times.
Good news:
-- Sonja is coming to town tomorrow or Sunday!
-- The Cait The Cait The Cait (and Eddie!)
-- My parents and sister are coming up here on Christmas Eve day and they will get to meet Khan and family!
-- In spite of the stupidity of my debit card situation, I have enough cash to hold me over. This is an example of my invisible backpack full of privilege. CLUH!!!
-- I got the John Parr song from American Anthem from iTunes because while the whole soundtrack is not up, that song and its album is. In fact, John Parr albums are $6.99 on iTunes and I recommend like pretty much all of them. John Parr is hella fucking 80s.
In preparation for the coming family visit, I need to do the following:
-- on the 23rd I'm getting last-minute groceries which will include: salad makings, cheese, salsa, pies, rolls, broccoli
-- charge my Pleo's batteries (I'm pretty sure most of the family have never met my Pleo)
-- take down the Gay Jesus poster in the kitchen |

As in... you shit in your cheerios and now when those cheerios could have helped you, you don't have them because you shit in them. And by 'cheerios' I mean 'our friendship' which you decided was over when you made your nasty little passive aggressive LJ post.
What is this, fucking 1996? Who fucking DOES that? Dumps a longtime friend in a public internet forum? 'Waaaah, you said something I can't handle so instead of like talking to you about it I'm going to IM my INTERNET friends, gain their validation, and then post about how MEAN you were to me and how I'm not gunna be your FRIEND anymore'

I don't know, guys. I love Neil Gaiman, but I would not hesitate to knife-fight him for the chance to woo Amanda Palmer.
I've never seen somebody who could successfully argue a point in song. Even if I didn't agree with her--art is art. Not only is it absolutely subjective, it's also absolutely objective in that you cannot expect anyone else to have the same opinion on it as you, and if you get pissy about artistic opinions, you're probably a douche--the utter charm and ukelele aspects of this song would make me do so.

So Dune party went super successfully! I got a little worried that no one was going to show up... but I had the perfect number of people for everyone to get a prize during the prize drawing (and I had a leftover disc or two of the Top 100 Pop Songs of the 80s so there could have been another person or two) and 6 people even stayed for the movie, 5 of them stayed for the WHOLE movie.
The grand prize was an original 1988 promo poster for WILLOW which went to a coworker of mine who must have liked it so much he's forgiven me for making crude diarrhea jokes on his FaceBook and has gotten me a Christmas present. I WIN!
Dune party went so well I'm planning monthly movie nights starting in February (next month will be my birthday movie night and I already know which movie I'm going to screen, I just need to go get it). The current plan, which I really like, is to do Post-Apocalyptic double features. I don't know if double features will really work and happen, but Post-Apocalypse will DEFINITELY happen. it'll be a whole series. I really have SO MANY Post-Apocalypse movies... Well, I feel like I've had one arm tied behind my back because my brother has Tank Girl and Six-String Samurai. Or at least Six-String Samurai... I think... hang on... ok, yep, he has both of them. Dammit.

In unrelated news, the website where I bought my totally sweet wallet as one of the first purchases made on my new Chase debit card that I got in September to replace my old WaMu card that I left in an ATM... well, said website notified me that their financial info was compromised and so I should cancel my card and stuff. I was just watching my transactions and recently there was a small charge from some British site that I didn't recognize so I figured it was time to request a new card. SO I DID. And they cancelled my current card. The FUCKERS. I was *hoping* they would let it remain in action until I got the new card. BUT NO. And I can't get a temporary card cuz you can only do that at the branch where you opened your fucking account and that branch, for me, is 450 miles away.
So I guess tomorrow I'm going into a Chase bank to try to withdraw some god fucking cash so I can at least like get GAS and FOOD for the next 10 days or whatever til I get my fucking card. This is what happens when you don't have a fucking credit card and have to rely entirely on your fucking debit card. This was a total non-issue until September. Brilliant.

Today was a really bad day. It had been a while since I had such a bad day. I got a voicemail from my doctor about my lab results. Apparently my liver function has 'normalized'? But my cholesterol and stuff is so bad that apparently my doctor thinks I need to make some 'major lifestyle changes' or start taking medication. THE FUCK. She seems to think that I don't exercise at all. It would appear that climbing 2-3x's a week has, over the past two years, made my cholesterol abysmally worse than it ever was before. THE FUCK I SAY. I haven't felt less like eating ever before in my life. |
