On bratty cousins, MST 3000, and Futurama. Also, somewhere I am knitting.
I can't sleep, and we got our pictures from our photographer online. Most of them are alright, but they're all pretty quickly soured by the fact that some of my god-awful cousin Nicholas made it in there. I had meant to tell the photographer that I can't stand the little fuck, not to mention actually did not even *invite* him, but my god did that day ever go by quickly. It's too bad, but when we get our photo's printed, if I get one of him I'll be quick to throw it into the recycle bin. That part of my family may be a part of me, but I'm more than happy the get on with my life without them in tow. Goodbye X-mas tradition of pretended to care to talk to them once a year, hello being honest with myself and staying the hell away.
Meanwhile I've been watching a lot of Mystery Science Theater 3000. Mostly on the internet, but we rented the 'MST 3000 Movie' and 'Manos: The Hand of Fate' from Vulcan recently. I must have been pretty bored, because I also went to the Satelite News website and read the entire history of the show. I feel educated in a whole lot of nothing; but I am entertained. : )
I am more than happy with MST 3000 as my comedic hold-over until Futurama re-debuts this winter. I can't wait to get my paws on 'Bender's Big Score.' : ) If I could meet anyone of the crew, it would probably be David X. Cohen. He seems like a kid who probably knows his stuff. The one question I would ask? There are maybe 4 or 5 instances in the original series when flowers are given to some one. In all of them, they are daffodils. Furthermore, in 'War is the H Word' one of Bender's top words (which anyone can tell you they've never heard him say up until that point) is "daffodil". My question would be, "What is, if any, the significance of the daffodil?" The answer would probably be something dumb, like "They're fun to draw" but even that would appease me.
I finished my mom's socks. I think I'm going to knit myself some gloves next. We're going to Vermont in October. I shall be needing something stylish and warm. : )
