Seven songs you can't get enough of right now:
1. Great Waves - Dirty Three feat Cat Power
2. What Katie Did - The Libertines
3. Run - Air
4. Nude as the News - Cat Power
5. Nature Boy - Angela McClusky and Triptych

7. Jolene - White Stripes

Aaaaahhhh so much greatness. I have been playing 1 over and over and over the last few days.

Anyway in our continuing quest to perve on attractive people lainy and I had a bit of a Jared fest. Her reaction pretty much sums up mine (except I didn't like FotP much at all). So I am going to express my emotions in poetry. I wrote it all by myself with no help from anyone.

Completely and 100% original. )

I got here too late for everyone else's (all the ones I knew were guessed!), but here's my version.

First lines of the next twenty random songs on my mp3 player to be guessed by you, yes YOU SIR, COME ON DOOOOOWN, without recourse to google because that makes the baby jesus cry.

Some of the ones that came up were so truely obscure I skipped 'em. Because boring! Number 3 turned out to be a rare release version so there's a bonus question. Oh and it would be funny if you thought I could restrict myself to what is technically the first line.

Comment, and . . .
* I'll respond with something random I like about you.

* I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.

* I'll name something we should do together.

* I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me (or just me).

* I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.

* I'll leave you a quote that is somehow appropriate to you.

* I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.

* If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal so you can do the same for other people.


Or something. Maybe I'll say something else. Will I? Or will I?

Yay I am back! In one piece, too. So much has been going on but if it's report-worthy I can't really remember it right now.

Hugh Laurie got a Golden Globe! Yay for him. Mary-Louise Parker beat the Housewives! Yay for her, and yay for her being so aborable, and yay for her John Spencer tribute (*sniff*). Yay for Felicity Huffman, it's about fucking time, YOU ARE TOO CUTE WOMAN! Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje aws there! It's about fucking time for him, too, he blew me away every time he was on the screen on Oz. He and Chris Meloni must have been constantly trying to outdo each other in the sheer animal magnetism stakes.

Lauren came round and we played a Golden Globes drinking game with cowboy cocksuckers (SO! APPROPRIATE! It only just hit me):

Good times.

[livejournal.com profile] frostmourne wrote this and it rawks my sawks. Guess which tv show:

Well theres this big ringy thing and it go flush sorta like a toilet and everyone goes whoa.
Then they step through it and go whoa.
Then they meet some aliens and go whoa.
Daniel bitches about some morality issue, other people dont go whoa.

Then they all go home and slap Keanu Reeves.

I think it's the Keanu Reeves that tips me over the edge. WTF? Heeeeeeee!

[livejournal.com profile] veronamay tagged me for a couple of memes like ten million years ago and I've just been sitting on them.

guilty pleasures meme )

And vague memories of another:

I think it was five songs you're into atm meme. )

I think it was [livejournal.com profile] angstslashhope who mentioned that she used imdb to keep track of all the movies she'd seen for the first time in the past year using the "my movies" page. Great idea.

To the best of my atrocious, atrocious memory, here's 2006 so far: )

Obviously I need to get in some precious OLD SKOOL (WORD!) time. I am desperate to see Marathon Man and the original Producers atm and [livejournal.com profile] lydia_petze has just given Victim a glowing review so hopefully I can add them soon.

And........I'm spent.

Is anyone else REPEATEDLY getting errors when making comments? And then if you go back and try again but don't refresh the page it'll post the comment in response to the main post and not the comment you want to reply to? I have to attempt journal updates twice too.

So about ten gazillion years ago [livejournal.com profile] theantimodel asked me some questions for that interview meme (you know, reply and I'll ask you five questions):

Here are my answers )

And on another personal note: I have officially managed to acquire myself a girlfriend; or perhaps I was myself acquired. I have already succeeded in showing her One True Way of Fairly Odd Parents, heh heh heh.

Whoops! I asked [livejournal.com profile] electromoon to interview me a week or two ago and I totally forgot she replied! Sorry!

You know how it works by now; ask me to interview you in the comments and I shall ask you five penetrating questions.

So here are my belated answers. )

Another meme:

1. Ten years ago:
I was in year five, playing Captain Planet and reading White Fang obsessively. Upon reflection, I might be too young for this meme.

2. Five years ago:
I was in year ten, reading atrocious books for English, getting utterly bored with Italian, and deep in the thrall of DAAS fandom.

3. One year ago:
I was in Italy, wishing I'd paid more attention in year ten Italian.

Now go forth and meme also!

Someone has put up bits of Kev & The Authority at [livejournal.com profile] scans_daily! I don't care if you don't like comics, you must check this out. This is in the running to be my favourite single issue of a comic, ever. *points to icon* Extremely funny and, just, genius work from Ennis and Fabry, here. I'll make the entire thing available to anyone who wants any more.

Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] vensre: European Geography quiz (I got 71% even though I was REALLY close on most of them. Well, a couple. Ok, one or two. Geography's not my strong point, ok?) and US Sate quiz (74%). Despite the fact that I got a higher score for the US one I have real trouble with US States. When I read about them I tend to divide them into east and west according to their assumed hillbilliness quotient (yeah, that's a technical term). What? Indiana and Tenessee are in the east and Washington's on the west coast? Since when is Montana on the Canadian border? Yes, I sudied the Pesidential election maps; yes, I got out the atlas to read that excellent O11/O12 roadtrip fic; yes, I even studied the War of Independence (for that reason I got most of the east coast right). For some reason (namely, I am stupid) it just doesn't stick. I mean, I owe the fact that I know where Florida is purely to Piers Anthony.

Anyway. Found via [livejournal.com profile] boing_boing: the website for Matthew Herbert's Plat du Jour. Herbert and his mates have created an album made entirely of found/food instuments. Check out the images and making of sections! One of my favourites:
we recreated the meal that nigella lawson cooked for george bush when he came to britain to thank tony blair for his support during the iraq during the meal... then we drove over the meal with a chieftan mk 10 battle tank from the mid-late sixties.
....an advisor to the foreign office baked the apple pie with his fiancee using one of nigella's recipes. it was then taken to manassas, the site of one of the opening battles of the american civil war, where it was shot by an us ex-military intelligence officer using a 9mm luger (1937approx) as used by a nazi sd officer, colt 45 (model 1911) high standard .22...

There is, as you can see, a definite political/philosophical idea behind it. Lord knows if it will sound any good but I am interested in hearing it.

A judge in California has ruled that the state's ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional. I love that this happened. But I hate that we live in a world where it's necessary. Christ almighty.

Anxious to See How It Ends? So Are the Writers. (login and password can be found at bugmenot) NY Times article about the season finales of Lost, Desperate Housewives, 24 and The OC. Only really spoilery for a DH plot twist that hasn't been shown in Australia yet (next episode, I think) and common sense things, eg, Lost raft-building mentioned below.

Mr. Lindelof committed to killing off a series regular by season's end; also by that point, the raft that some castaways have been building will have set sail, he said. But just who will live or die has always been a problem for this writing staff. "In the original pilot, Matthew Fox's character died halfway through," Mr. Lindelof explained. "We made him a real living, breathing, three-dimensional guy, so that his death would be shocking. And what happened was people, ourselves included as writers, said, 'Wow, I kind of don't want to kill this guy off anymore.' "
Can you do it anyway? Please? Or Sawyer, or Kate, or Boone (although he's quite amusing sometimes in a pathetic Igor-to-Locke's-mad-scientist sort of way). Thus ends my death wish list.


And then there's the almighty LJ Drama Generator!

[livejournal.com profile] misskittie79 went around saying how I got caught talking to [livejournal.com profile] china_shop and backstabbing [livejournal.com profile] frostmourne. And yeah. You might guess I don't give a flying f*** what they think anymore. I'm over that.

more. I couldn't stop clicking generate! )
