Cimorene

Last night at midnight I was coming back from walking the dog and there was a flock of drunk Swedish-speaking Finns in the entry and then the elevator arrived crowded with more drunk Swedish Finns. And from within the elevator, behind the people shuffling drunkenly out, then I heard in Swedish this guy go,

"GOOD LORD." Then he shuffled out staring fixedly down at Perry (funny b/c he was so tall) and intoned theatrically, "It's a dog."

In Swedish, this speech is "HERREGUD. Det är en hund."

Thus my icon. It was classic.

"A Marine infantryman...told me that the guys in his unit complained that if openly gay men were allowed in the Marine Corps they would no longer feel comfortable masturbating together."

--Steven Zeeland, author of Military Trade, in "Military Tradesman," http://www.marksimpson.com/pages/journalism/journo_zeeland.html

cimness: Best RL quote about the military ever Y/Y?
perhael: A million times Y.

Cim: It'd be funny if your cats dressed up as each other for Halloween.
Wax: Yes. We'd have to shave Lily.

Moodtheme Attrition
So, hahaha, I accidentally deleted my moodtheme entirely from existence yesterday. Well, I've been too lazy to make a new one for years, but it's about time to make one with actual DVD caps - the original Star Trek caps I had predated the DVD release and were from this website of a woman who took them by taking digital camera photos of her TV screen. Another Kirk/Spock theme and a Singin' in the Rain theme are both on my to-do list, but first I'm gonna make a theme of our own cats for wax. I know it's twee, but look, we like to stare at them, okay? Plus, I have like 2000 pictures of them (not exaggerating there, actually).

Movin House. Computer. OS.
I'm definitely switchin to Linux next time wax_jism has three days to do it for me. Meanwhile I've put all my media files and all my documents except my fanfic folder on her computer and have to remote log in and copy them back and forth every time I want to do anything. It's like the computer equivalent of camping in your apartment when you're moving, sleeping in a sleeping bag, surrounded by taped-shut boxes of your own possessions. I hope I get around to this before leaving for Alabama.

Manson vs MCR part eleventy-lame
I feel that anyone who can be mean about Gerard is bizarrely inhuman. Sometimes I suspect that I myself have a mildly sociopathic core, but even I would not be mean about Gerard or kick puppies, which seem to be about the same thing to me. However, somehow, Marilyn Manson's lame-ass shenanigans seem kind of exempt from that. Is it because I feel so sorry for the guy since he's so transparently lame? Is it because it's so hilarious that it doesn't actually seem that insulting? Is it because nobody could possibly be hurt by something like that when they have Frank (two feet tall though he may be) watching their back? Is it because it reminds me of that feud between Pink and Christina Aguilera circa Linda Perry, where Pink thought Christina was copying her by wearing clothes, being mostly naked, and working with Linda, and also that she was a ho or something? Yeah, I dunno. I do know that, however that feud may have led to rps, this one won't, though. OTP, man. I couldn't read either one of them with Manson. Or, you know, anyone. Except possibly, occasionally, Mikey.

My better half has deep thoughts about cheese
"I wonder why companies feel the need to put like" [squeaky voice] "'This cheese tastes GOOD!' on their package of cheese. Like what, like, unless they tell us that, we probably think that their cheese tastes like ass?" This is the kind of deep shit me'n'my girlfriend ponder at breakfast lunchtime pretty much any time.

PS. I had a dream about Mikeyway and Pete last night
But I don't remember it. Pete/Mikeyway is totally cool with me because it's probably canon. Also, I decided, Pete/Ryan, because it's semi-canon. Otherwise, Patrick/Pete is another OTP. OTP-breaking makes my OCD little soul faintly anxious. And makes me make I Don't Love You Gerard faces, except not as flexible and adorable.

isilya: Moi!
wax_jism: Iltapäivää.
wax_jism: Kuis hurisee?
isilya: I lost my virginity when I was fourteen!
wax_jism: Uhh... that wasn't the question.
isilya: I didn't understand the question so I made up my own!
wax_jism: WIN!


( The explanation is, of course, Gerard. )

"So are you guys big readers?"
"Yeah, we read a lot! Lots of comics!"

Ahahahah.

"it's really cute, actually, except for the vomiting part."

"this twat should enter the horribly awkward phrasing olympics."

myself, i have a sneaking suspicion it might not seem as funny in the cold light of morning.

"it's like she's the world's tackiest gay man and every story is some room or photoshoot that she's got to decorate the hell out of, but when you try to use the room or take the picture, there's too goddamn much shit in the way, piles of gauze and cushions and knick-knacks and not a single free bit of wall."

"A little trouble last night with the minons of the law, Jeeves," I said. "Quite a bit of that Eugene-Aram-Walked-between-with-gyves-upon-his-wrists stuff."

"Indeed, sir? Most vexing."

"Yes, I didn't like it much, but the magistrate - with whom I have just been threshing the thing out - had a wonderful time. I brought a ray of sunshine into his drab life, all right. Did you know that these magistrates were expert comedians?"

"No, sir. The fact had not been drawn to my attention."

"Think of Groucho Marx and you will get the idea. One gag after another, and all at my expense. I was just the straight man, and I found the experience most unpleasant, particularly as I had had no breakfast that any conscientious gourmet could call breakfast. Have you ever passed the night in chokey, Jeeves?"

"No, sir. I have been fortunate in that respect."

-p.g. wodehouse, jeeves and the feudal spirit (aka bertie wooster sees it through), 1954

if i ran to lj to post it every time i found a passage of wodehouse that i thought might have been the greatest thing ever, i would spend a great deal of my free time typing. but i figure it's all right every now and then. i keep staring in marvel at this passage - i find it nearly impossible to articulate what is so funny about this type of dialogue. it's almost like magic.
