THERE WAS A SPIDER ON MY DESK AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT'S GONE AND IT COULD BE ANYWHERE NOW.

See, this is why I don't like summer. There are THINGS CRAWLING AROUND IN MY APARTMENT. And now I feel all crawly and gross.

In the continuing series of Really Appalling Commercials recorded on my lj:

There was just a YODELING CATFISH on my tv screen.

Someone was holding it and squeezing its scaly little head so that its mouth would open and close and it looked like it was yodeling. It's the most terrifying commercial I've seen since the happy singing innardsIt was ( Read more... )

I've been subjecting myself to the steaming pile of crap that is Dark Kingdom: The Dragon King or whatever the hell it's called for the last couple of hours.

So if you guys ever get the chance to see this indie version of Richard II, released in 2001, directed by John Farrell, starring someone named Matte Ossian in the title role, and a lot of people you've never heard of?

Trust me on this.

There may be a lengthier review later. ( Read more... )

In the past couple of days a hideous unidentified thing has materialized in the bushes outside my front door.
