I've been following the Walter Reed scandal with great interest.

I am glad your mood says pleasant because you start quoting Radiohead, especially that particular song, and I start taking nervous glances at your wrists.

Also, I vote Kadrin to be king of something. Preferably shiny, with a lot of gold gilt. Although he already gets to live with koalas. I am now jealous.

I don't know if rewriting Robert Frost into barroom brawls is using your powers for good or not - but I want you to do Emily Dickenson next pls.

Dude, cutting is so last year. Nah, I know, but remember, whatever music I put up usually has no bearing on my my mood at all. I just put it up because it sounds cool.

God, I know! I totally do want to give him the one hundred dollars. That way, when he gets arrested for torturing a koala, he'll have at least 1/3 of the penalty money ready. (Also that video made me more afraid of kangaroos than I already am.)

Oh man, the Dickenson! That's harder and easier at the same time considering her rhyme schemes. Fortunately, if I ever get stuck, I can always hum the Gilligan's Island theme and get right back on beat. Now I must plot.

Zodiac trailer music may be "(I Know) I'm Losing You" by Rod Stewart.

Awesome. If that's it, I'll definitely see about trying to find it somewhere. I dunno, I just find it kind of cool and creepy. I hope I'm thinking of the right one; I think they're playing different music in the official trailers.

I will send chapter one to you tomorrow-- had a shit ton of work today, sorry-- and you can give it your last look before Thursday! Will probably also try to get chapter 2 to you tomorrow as well.

I'm so glad I get the Daily Show now, otherwise I would have been all "Walter Reed"? Has someone been boffing the Interns again?

I may never forgive you for the Citauron picture, though.

Not so much interns at the place as bright-eyed young recruits, but yes, lots of uproar. I am watching it play out very closely.

As for Clintauron-- Dude, that was all Patrick! I mean, I think it's awesome. It's almost like a Pokemon.

. . . don't even go there. Now you've got me wondering what its evolution stages are.

Well, in its beginning stages, it does not inhale.

*blinks* The cover of Sexyback actually reminds me of those old, oooold Donald Duck movies, where Donald gets his butt stuck in a fishbowl, with the goldfish still in it, and it's swimming crazily in circles around his butt while Donald attempts all sorts of crazy moves to free himself.

I kinda want that to happen to Timberlake. It'd be divine justice, for not being able to turn on a single radiostation anywhere without being blasted with the blasted song.

I love Donald Duck. He has so many rage issues, that I feel quite close to him. Plus, he doesn't wear pants but he does wear a hat! What's not to love?

I'm not really fond of Justin Timberlake, although I don't really dislike him either. He's so... every time I look at him, all I can think is that he's very Wonderbread.

Donald is one of my favorite Disney characters. I like Goofy better... he's such a comfort for all the clumsy people in the world (ie me). It's always nice to know that somebody can be infinitely clumsier, and more of an idiot than yourself. XD

Well, Timberlake himself is... he just doesn't ping on my radar, at all. If it weren't for his damn music greeting me everywhere, I wouldn't even know he existed. And I'd definitely not want him to be stuck in his fishbowl. XD

Wonder...bread...? What's that? It sounds illegal. Is it illegal?

thorne_scratch March 8 2007, 01:39:34 UTC
Heh, Donald is pretty clumsy too. I think I like him because he messes up so often. It's not fair, Mickey always wins! Ah, well.

Wonderbread is not illegal. (Well, not yet, although I can't vouch for the chemicals in it.) In explanation, Wonderbread is a popular brand of white bread here; however, it is pretty tasteless and has no real redeeming nutritional value because it has been chemically treated so much. However, a lot of people like it. So, Justin Timberlake = Wonderbread, because both are white, over-processed, not particularly good for you although not poison, and inexplicably popular.

The politics I've mostly been paying attention to mocking recently is the "TOFU MAKES YOU GAY" argument. Which is kinda hilarious.

Dude, I saw that tofu story too! God, what people...

I mean, I thought about mentioning Ann Coulter's latest idiocy, but what's the point really? Nothing new there. Might as well go with what's in my own backyard.

God, I love that icon.

Thanks for the link! Interesting spectrum of reactions there. I wouldn't quite say that no one is taking her seriously anymore and her words mean nothing, but I certainly don't want to give her any more attention than she deserves. If only I had a giant catapult...

Seriously, yeah. I mean, you might as well offer the theory that drinking more green tea for the antioxidants will also make you a queer, because only British people and fags drink tea! Or some nonsense like that.

People like that dude seriously make me tired.

(For the record, I love tea of all kinds, and think it casts no effects on sexuality. More people should drink tea!)

Patrick made it! So he should get full credit there. Awesome, huh?
