This will be brief, as X-chan is here and in any case I don't want to spend Easter weekend on the Int0rbuttz, but we were talking about my father's people. X-chan has been doing the genealogy on that side, which so far has eluded me, and I asked if she'd been able to find out anything about Great-Grandpa's parents, which is where the line ends ( Read more... )

THERE WAS HAIL YOU GUYS. It was kind of horrifying, since I was in the shitter and I didn't see what it was at first and the emergency siren went off and all I could hear was things knocking against the windows, so here I am trying to hurry things along and conclude my business (the meds were all "lololol @ l33") and thinking "ofux limbs are down ( Read more... )

This is the thing that should not be. Oda Yuji is cute, but way too young to be a convincing Sanjuro. Also, this movie really did not need to be remade because it is already made of awesome. (Ever wanted to see Toshiro Mifune pimp-slap somebody? I didn't even know I had that desire until I saw Sanjuro, and then once I got to that scene I kept ( Read more... )

A happy if mildly belated birthday to momo (time marches on, and in its inexorable wake brings teh Ashmee one year closer to the grave, and all that). Also, while I'm doing happy-birthday catching up, a happy 25 1/26 birthday to angeljuggalette, because I was going to say something, oh, I don't know, TWO WEEKS AGO WHEN SHE ACTUALLY TURNED 25 and then I forgot despite ( Read more... )

East0r r00lz. :D We watched the tail end of The Ten Commandments last night (of course it wasn't shown today or anything). Mom observed that Charlton Heston had a great voice for Biblical words such as "iniquity" and "smite" and all that, which is fair enough when you see him as Moses; she said, "He could be a lector!" To which I said that if Chuck ( Read more... )

I finally got the hot cross buns made, and feel terribly sorry for anyone who has picked up vaguely bun-shaped dinner-roll-like objects with bits of raisins and an icing cross at the grocery store, because those are NOT REAL BUNS. Teh m0mmy is dyeing eggs, though she keeps wandering off and forgetting about the eggs; at least she doesn't have to ( Read more... )

We had a cold snap; the temperature's dipped below and it's supposed to get down in the 20s tonight, and when I was in Bloomington on Wednesday, there were flurries here and there. Anyway, it was so cold last night that I couldn't sleep (and the cold doesn't ordinarily bother me), and m0mmy finally caved and turned on the heat (ordinarily St. ( Read more... )

On account of it is Holy Thursday and teh m0mmy is appallingly late getting home probably due to church, I thought I would share some Blake with y'all, because I like Blake and I am not sure if the long, ranty post I'm preparing is in its final form yet or not. So here you go.
