Ramble + meme redux
12. “Now, call me a prude if you want, but I don't think it's good policy for the Navy to hand over a billion-dollar piece of equipment to a man who has "Welcome Aboard" tattooed on his penis.” -- Down Periscope, Amanda
14. “Am I supposed to be a man, am I supposed to say, ‘It's OK, I don't mind, I don't mind’? Well, I mind! I mind big time! And you know what the worst part of all is? I NEVER LEARNED TO READ.”
“ Is that true?”
“ Yes, everything except the reading part.”
Early 90s cult classic humour movie featuring the music scene. Set in the greater Chicago area. Excellent!
15. “Careful, that soup is... sharp!” -- Kung Fu Panda, Bookworm
This movie is fairly recent (2007-08, I think), and it's animated. The voice cast is fairly star-studded, and all I have left to say about this is, "Skedoosh!"
19. This movie has too many awesome quotes to use only one, so here’s two. Not like anyone will get this one, so just enjoy.
“[to machine on wall after finding out that toilet paper is no longer used] Thanks a lot you shit-brained, fuck-faced, ball breaking, duck fucking pain in the ass.”
“ *______*, you are fined five credits for repeated violations of the verbal morality statute.”
“ [grabbing the tickets] So much for the seashells. See you in a few minutes.”
And:
“You see, according to *____*'s plan, I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think; I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I'm the kind of guy who likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, ‘Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?’ I WANT high cholesterol. I wanna eat bacon and butter and BUCKETS of cheese, okay? I want to smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green Jell-o all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing ‘I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiener’.”
This is another one I'm still doubtful about anyone getting, but even if you have to look it up, it'll make you giggle. This is an early 90s Stallone movie where he plays a cop. He is the one speaking to the machine on the wall in the first quote, and the person speaking in the second quote is played by Denis Leary (who, if you don't know, is a really raunchy comedian and a notorious asshole).
And, as promised, here comes the ramble. I'm really annoyed with myself. I can't seem to finish anything right now. I started a short one-shot a few weeks ago because I couldn't get my In the Ashes chapter going, and now I can't even finish that one-shot. Now, I'm a bit over halfway done with my LoveNotes one-shot, and I'm stalled on that, too. Whyyyyyyyyyy is this happening to me? I used to be able to write 6-8K in one day, even while working, but right now, I can't seem to get anything done. The only thing I've had as a distraction is the TV, and I used to write while watching TV. I just don't get it. I need to get going.
This had led me to the conclusion that I need to be more proactive with my writing in terms of scheduling. I'm thinking that I'm going to try doing a mini-NaNo type deal every three months or so, going for 40K per month every three months, which will give me an opportunity to get some things out of the way and get moving with some of my longer terms projects (i.e., my grossly ignored Next-Gen fic). During NaNo, I was so focused and single-minded, and I got so much done so quickly, but as soon as it was over, my focus went straight into the toilet. I need to do something to keep myself on track or I'm going to forget where I want my stories to go. >.>
I'm starting to get to the point where I don't want anything to do with my own house anymore. My f-list is gorgeous, including all the Claws, but every time I see a Molly post, I want to punch her in the gob. It's only a matter of time before I turn into a complete douche to her in public and get myself in trouble. I just can't stand watching her pollute the boards with her useless, recycled tripe.
So I learned something the other day: that there is a Season 3 of Torchwood. I did not know this, because BBC America doesn't show it; they just replay Seasons 1 and 2. I purchased it via Amazon Video-on-Demand. Holy crap, Children of Earth was depressing! Whyyyyyyyyy did they kill Ianto? I fangirl the coffee boy, and I want to keep him and his gorgeous Welsh accent. I would have minded less if they'd killed Rhys or Gwen or their fetus.... but not Ianto. Saw John Barrowman naked, which was the highlight of the week. I can't wait for the new 'special event' this summer, the one they're working on now, according to IMDb.
Bones was ultra gory this week. This made me happy, especially seeing a serial killer's head get shot off and explode. They were a little over-obvious about who was behind it, but it was good anyway. It's definitely going to be continued in some further installment, because the end was rather open ended, but I like that.
Does anyone else think they're killing House? I don't mean actually killing off the character, but rather they're butchering the show. It's okay, and the thing about Chase being pranked by a not-even-ex girlfriend who wasn't even a girlfriend was good, but the storyline with Cuddy and House being together annoys the shit out of me. I miss their sparring, and them making sexual references isn't cutting it. I need House to be his pill-popping, assface self. There isn't enough sidestory substance anymore, or they ignore the medical mystery part almost entirely in favour of sidestory. They've lost the balance of these things that existed in the first four or five seasons. Oh, and I like the new girl. She's an uber-intelligent social idiot. I can relate to that.
