I now have an OFFICIAL CERTIFICATE which states OFFICIALLY that I am tuberculosis-free! HOORAY! I will frame it and put it on my wall! (That's a lie I will send it to the UK Border Control people so that they will let me into their country.) (SAME DIFFERENCE ( Read more... )

visa bullshit, ann arbor, art, tuberculosis, judaism, garments, work, books, today, tattoos

Also ALSO ALSO Frederique and I invented an emoticon for "a goat with an earring" after watching the lolarious Disney Hunchback of Notre-Dame film together last night

See, for most people that would be the pinnacle of silliness (and by 'pinnacle' I mean 'thin high spire with an army of tiny gargoyles on the way up', each of them representing one of the times a. we quoted the same thing at the same time and/or b. I misheard it in a mildly disconcerting way ... or maybe they're all the times Phoebus said 'ah um' or Frollo was clenching something purple or Esmeralda made that 'you have got to be kidding me' face). No further ascent possible. Reason begins to set in after that, or unreason to set out, if that's a word. NOT SO WITH US. WE WENT FURTHER.

(Also, DID YOU REALISE that the man who voiced Meryl Streep Frollo was in "Twin Peaks"? He's the old man Lana 'kills' by sleeping with him [yes, this is during the bad part]. WHAT ABOUT THAT.)

What was the book you were lookin' for?

NO INDEED. WE LIVE BALANCED PRECARIOUSLY ATOP THE HIGHEST POINT ON THE SKYSCRAPER OF ABSURDITY it's pretty much the best place to be and it has a LOT of pillars

(OMG I DID NOT! That's ... hm. I am actually not sure how I feel about that!)

SOMETHING ABOUT WALT WHITMAN, preferably.

(ALSO ALSO I found a site w/ a billion screencaps and I was going through them to find things to make icons out of and I clicked on this one and NOW I AM UPSET ABOUT THEIR EYES ALL OVER AGAIN)

I would have to agree! (How do we get more than one pillar onto a point?) (Never mind. I do not doubt we are capable of that.)

I SEE.

They were disconcerting! (And that giant head in the high up room.)

I AGREE (AGAIN). Especially if you know what happens 1/5 of a second later.

....would you be interested in watching the sequel with me

(yes there is a sequel)

(on a scale from one to HORRIBLE how horrible do you reckon it will be)

HOW CAN THERE BE A SEQUEL WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT (unless it's about the hunchback lift boy of the Eiffel Tower). And how can it be anything but HORRIBLE? (Of course I would be interested.)

... okay, I am reading the plot summary on Wikipedia right now and sort of lost it after reading Phoebus receives reports of robberies and sets out on his horse, Achilles, to investigate because I misread that as 'sends out his horse to investigate'. That would have been something. (Except I bet Achilles is not as smart as Djali. Why didn't they make the sequel about Djali?)

Also, it only has five songs and most of them are about love. I get a feeling there won't be a lot of long words in those.

OH MY GOD CAN WE WRITE "THE HUNCHBACK LIFT BOY OF THE EIFFEL TOWER"??? PLEASE???

gljfssd Phoebus sending Achilles to investigate would ALSO be better. IT WOULD BE LIKE A CLEVER CALIGULA REFERENCE. COME ON, DISNEY!

Also, this is the villain

...so yeah

...GET ON AIM?? :D

Yes, we should ... even though the Eiffel Tower is sort of lacking in all the qualities that qualify (oh, I never noticed those words are related) Notre Dame for its role? And if the Hunchback Lift Boy has spent all his live in the Eiffel Tower that would suggest we're in the 1910s or so.

You just know that if Phoebus was called Caligula he would not be going around translating it as a way of introductory flirtation. (Yes, I know Caligula wasn't actually called Caligula, either.)

... he does not look like much of a villain. He does not look like much of anything. Perhaps he is at least pathetic enough to be endearing in his direct-to-video attempts at being A Disney Villain?

Hmmmm. On one hand, tonight is really rather not a good night to spend on AIM since I am still running to and fro doing all the cleaning I wanted to do in the afternoon. ON THE OTHER, this is the last night I possibly could spend on AIM as opposed to in bed. Hm-hm-hm.

I am ok with being in the 1910s or so for the purposes of this hypothetical film/novel/work of fiction.

...LET'S HOPE SO. So far I am just thinking "Wow, Disney, you have a BIG feminizing-the-bad-guys problem", tbh.

...What if I made a sad pouty face at you :C Will you come on AIM then?

Do you know anything about 1910s Paris? I don't know anything about 1910s Paris. Except I guess the métro entrance gates were brand new right then. (Yes, what, we would have to do at least as much research as Disney.)

Oh, all right. But not for ages (or only for a very short age) (yeah, the last time I said that it turned into ten hours) (I regret nothing).

...No. BUT THIS IS OBVIOUSLY ONLY A MINOR OBSTACLE IN OUR QUEST FOR ... something!

Eeee! I'll go find the link to the horrible sequel RIGHT NOW! (fwahahaha!) (you love me really.)
