Besides, You'd Make a Lousy Waiter

[circestale]

I drove past a peacock on a roof last Friday. Really, a peacock on a roof. He was standing there all nonchalant like, halfheartedly shaking out his magnificent tailfeathers while balancing on the low-pitched roof of a simple country farmhouse. No shitting - a peacock, like this was India or something, instead of the horribly mundane suburban

If you don't post aobut huffing pants, I'll have to defirend you.

[circestale]

Defirend me? Whew... dodged a bullet there, as I was afraid you were going to say something about defriending.

See above addendum to Bunny reply.

When I hit reply on your page, for some reason the type got so small as I was typing that I couldn't see it! And wouldn't you know, this time it's actually a point or two bigger. WTF? Apparently I couldn't take the 30 seconds for a spell check. wah.

[circestale]

Oh yeah, blame it all on the lay-out. Right...

[alexcat]

I vote E ...

Anyhow, wlecome back!

I will also accept help in the form of Charley Boorman. When you've been stuck in Mongolia this long, you're really not picky.

Thank you. :)

Do you know what happens when you juggle bananas??

GORILLAS!!! ;-)

Most miffed about "Mirrormask" not getting a Visual nod....bastards. :(

Ah, you get a shiney cookie!

Perhaps the inclusion of live action invalidated it for category consideration?

[rennwench]

::SQUEEEEEEEEE!!:

My cookie!
:curtsies:

thank you....wow...a Circe's Shiney Cookie.

I don't think that is why it wasn't nominated - oh well. I sip my tea nosily at said academy.

I am so going to make up a cookie recipe now, just so I can use Circe's Shiney Cookies.

Well, fuck the Academy if they don't understand the special magic of Mirrormask. That category was weird, anyway. It only had three nominees to the usual five; there was totally room for Mirrormask.

Funny thing, I was actually wondering if I hadn't missed some of your posts, so Saturday I wandered over to your LJ. Hit refresh a couple of times...

Anyway, I'm voting for A. Cuz I had the same response to that movie. Toilet paper and deodorant and baths. And medical care - leeches, yuck!

Speaking of leeches, how's your wrist?

[circestale]

Aw, shucks, ma'am, thank you for thinking of me. Yeah, just been... out, for lack of a better explanation.

*nods* Yes, toilet paper is one of the better inventions of mankind. And antiseptics. And breath mints. Still, I might give it all up for a guy that looks like Marton wearing a lot of armor. *sigh*

My wrist is about the same. I baffled my primary care physician, and am supposed to make an appointment with an orthopedist, but simply haven't had time. I've kinda gotten used to it by now, but I think I'm going to have to have carpal tunnel surgery sooner rather than later.

Went back and reread this while not at work. *cough*

Contributions and getting up to speed... I think LJ is supposed to be fun, not obligatory. When I find myself feeling like I have to respond to a post and feeling pressured by it, I know it's time to back off. As for what you have to contribute... I see few movies either and really, I just kind of enjoy your opinions and communicating with you.

As for your wrist, surgery doesn't sound like any fun, but then neither does that growth. Perhaps they really can fix the problem. Hope springs eternal...

I suppose I just feel bad when I read and don't reply. Catholic guilt perhaps? There have been times when it's felt like a total chore.
