Those are my grumblecakes!!!
Yeay gratuitous Strong Bad references! You should really watch the email about outwitting Homestar for the grumblecakes if you don't get it. In other news, I received my first 2 DVDs from Zip today. Now I can finally watch Pitch Black and the Godfather Pt. 3! Hurray! I think the bonus disc for the Godfather series is also in the mail. Is it really bad if you watch the DVDs in reverse? I suppose I should have expected that, and I will definitely take it into account when requesting TV series now.
Late night tonight
Just got back from the pool tournament tonight. My partner and I managed to get through the qualifiers, but lost in the first round of finals. Not that it really matters, since I was really there just to socialize and drink. I think it's really too bad that it's Thursday though (well, soon it will be Friday) since it greatly limits my intoxication. I believe a bunch of the coops and I are going clubbing tomorrow night though, so that should be fun. Thing is, they're almost all Newfies. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but just hanging out with them makes it hard not to talk like an Easterner. I already think accents are cool, but unconciously sounding like I'm from the Rock ain't cool.
Forgive the rapid fire stuff, but
I'm trying to get to bed pretty quick. I just have this post and some dishes and I can safely collapse for a few hours. Since
The Passion of the Christ premiered yesterday, I figured I'd mention that. I do want to see the film, if only out of curiousity, and I'm quite sure that it is nowhere close to being as anti-Semitic as everyone says though. I did see a quote from someone who just saw it that struck a chord with me though. They said it was "definitely not recommended for children". The first thing that hit me was that they ever thought it was OK for kids before. I can forgive the aversion of all media and not knowing a thing about it, but just because it's a movie about Jesus doesn't mean it's automatically a G picture. I'm thinking that a great many things about our culture could be made better if people didn't just assume things were OK for kids. Seems that any movie, comic, TV show or video game that comes out has somebody saying that it's not for children. Perhaps if we just assumed that it was NOT for kiddies that we might be more alert towards what the chilluns see? Just a thought.
Running out of steam...
Random tidbits.
- I want to get a tattoo, but unfortunately I have nothing that I find worthy to tattoo on me.
- I can only imagine that it would be nearly impossible to prove who you were over the phone. Imagine if Johnny Depp were to call you right now. You would never believe him!
- Gormenghast is a really cool series of novels, and just as cool a TV miniseries. Definitely worth checking out.
- It would be really neat to have a
Wonder Years-esque narrative to your life.
-
This woman should be commended. Racketeering indeed.
- I disapprove of the
Seal of Disapproval. Since scaring folks with lawsuits isn't enough, they shall launch their guilt-trip campaign.
- If you liked the Geek Hierarchy, here's the
same thing for Pagans.
Right. Dishes, then bed. Ciao.
