I really, really love Get Fuzzy. Ah, comics. It’s so nice to have the left wing dominating some aspect of the media!
Update on the Rent movie script. Looks like things are going decently well, though I’m quite upset about the prospect of cutting “Christmas Bells”, which is my favourite Rent song. Sadness.
Meme! Ganked from Kell.
Step 1: Get your playlist together, put it on random, and play!
Step 2: Pick your favorite lines from the first 25 songs that play!
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from!
Step 4: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly! P.S: no cheating and pasting the lyrics into a search engine
I’ve got some slightly obscure stuff in here, but I think we’ll be able to account for nearly everything. Lyrics marked with an asterisk (*) are more unusual.
- All I wanna do is brush your teeth
- You who fly the blimp of evil shun upheaval in the air
- She thinks she’s Kaiser Wilhelm
- When I hold you in my arms, and I feel my finger on your trigger, I know nobody will do me no harm.
- Half a prayer, half a song; thou hast always been with me though we have been always apart.
- All that is now and all that is gone and all that’s to come and everything under the sun is in tune when the sun is eclipsed by the moon
- If you can do the Bart, then you’re bad like Michael Jackson
- The costumes, the scenery, the makeup, the props, the audience that lifts you when you’re down / the headaches, the heartaches, the backaches, the flops, the sheriff that escorts you out of town
- Everybody seems to think I’m lazy. I don’t mind, I think they’re crazy.
- Yellow bird flying, get shot in the wing. Good year for hunters and Christmas parties.
- If a hundred monkeys each could get their own show, perhaps one day a chimp might say “‘You have faith, you just need to use it’ sayeth the Lord”
- I’m offensive, I’m a bigot, I’m a fraud, can you dig it? I’m a sexist, racist, homophobic, fat, pathetic putz. (*)
- We don’t need no education, we don’t need no thought control, no dark sarcasm in the classroom, teacher leave those kids alone
- Some boys take dirty books to the john and give themselves a whack. I did the same with lithographs of thumbscrews and the rack. (*)
- If you love enough, you’ll lie a lot. Guess they did in Camelot.
- Better than rain or rippling brook is a mug of beer inside this Took!
- I’m tired of having to sing everything! Can’t we just talk? (*)
- I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad. The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had.
- In volitaile market, only stable investment is porn!
- Let’s find a rock–I mean a big-ass rock–or maybe something like a cinderblock is better. I’ll hoist it up and drop it on your face, my buddy.
- Take it slow, and daddy-o, you can live it up and die in bed.
- What’s with all the carrots? What do they need such good eyesight for, anyway?
- So if anyone asks about you and me, you have two alternatives. You can either say, “Oh yes, it’s true, we’re living in delicious sin.” Or you can simply tell the truth.
- (Translated from Romanian) I was born in a gypsy camp, in a glade in the wood. I was a rambler since childhood, like all the gypsies. But, you see, one day, I was stolen from my mom by the aliens. (*)
- Too late for second-guessing, too late to go back to sleep. I’ve got to trust my instincts, close my eyes, and leap.
Any takers?
Oh. My. God. Watch this, right now. Ann Coulter and Tucker Carlson discuss relations with Canada. This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in weeks, and the knowledge that these two actually believe what they’re saying just boggles the mind. Good gravy on a stick, there are no words.
I just updated the illustration gallery of theninemuses.net with links to the actual images. My next step will be to add the individual pages for each image (artist’s notes and all that), but in my list of priorities, that will come after I update my photographic gallery. Hurrah, soon I will no longer be ashamed of my website and willing to actually give the link out to people!
Comments should be posted in my livejournal so that I can keep them and love them and name them George. Stupid transitoryness of Blogback comments…
JKR updated her site today! Woohoo!
She squashed rumors of Luna and Neville hooking up in HBP, which advances my campaign for Harry/Luna, tra-la! (Condolences to the L/N shippers!) Also, she added lots of nifty info on Wands, which makes my little WIAN enthusiast heart sing.
And Glock posted this bit on Celtic tree astrology (xylology?), and apparently I am ASH.
Ash Tree (Ambition) — extremely attractive, vivacious, impulsive, demanding, does not care for criticism, ambitious, intelligent, talented, likes to play with fate, can be very egotistic, reliable, restless lover, sometimes money rules over the heart, demands attention, needs love and much emotional support.
*cackles*
Yet more Firefly-related curiosities (see? this is what happens when I neglect a fandom for a few weeks): Does this mean Serenity is no longer the 10th character? Rumblings here, most notably verifying that the picture isn’t a forgery, but the solitication cover. Der. I wonder how Adam managed to grow 3 inches between the two photos.
Ah. I misheard what Alan said. It’s been confirmed on fff.n that his name is “Hoban Washburn” *snerks*. And Keith R.A. DeCandido, who wrote the Serenity novelization, confimed that the full names of Wash, Book, and Zoe (her maiden name) will be mentioned in Serenity. Snazzy.
The trailer for Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is here!
I really need to reread the book… and for contrast, watch the Gene Wilder movie again. It’s been years since I’ve done either.
Interesting. Gina Torres‘s newly-updated website says Zoe and Wash’ surname is Warren, as well. And it refers to Wash as “Jerry Lee Warren”, whereas in the interview with Alan Tudyk the other day he said something like “Holden Washburn.”
Can we get Joss to clarify this? It seems Nathan has said that Joss said it was Washburn, and on the FFF.n boards it says the “Jerry Lee” came from a mistake in a transcript of “Our Mrs. Reynolds”, but it would be nice to hear firsthand. And to know what Alan actually said Wash’s first name was, because the lousy sound quality made it difficult to understand.
Hee, I love how fandom loves to make a huge deal out of things that in the grand scheme of things do not matter at all. *coughBlaise’sgendercough*
