in which i cuss too much and talk about pg movies

[snarklyboojum]

Work lately has remained...frustrating. I don't think there's a single person who's happy to be there anymore, except maybe the director who'd be happy if a fucking blizzard landed on his head.

Which reminds me: goddamn but it's cold out there. You all may laugh at the new hat I put away for Christmas, but hey - when you haven't been warm since September anything warm is promising. (Plus, I do love it so. Lookit the little flaps! Hee!)*

I finally saw Happy Feet and was pleasantly surprised. I think what I liked best was that they used facts about how emperor's behave (using sound to find and keep a mate, for instance) and turned them into a rockin' dance number with kickass choreography. And the soundtrack is one of the best I've ever heard, seriously. The only slow song in the whole set is K.D. Lang's "Golden Slumber"; it's jarring between all the excitement, but in a good way.

Can you believe my mother didn't know you had to cut the rings on plastic pop can holders? I grew up among a veritable smorgasbord of SAVE THE PLANET teachings at my elementary school, and I ranted and raved at her for five minutes when I caught her throwing one away un-snipped the other day. When Lovelace appeared onscreen (he's seeing lights and hearing voices because it's CUTTING OFF THE CIRCULATION TO HIS BRAIN) she glanced at me nervously and I could feel the guilt pouring from her. I patted her hand and raised my eyebrow in the universal "mother nature forgives you but don't fuck it up" gesture.

The ending made me feel guilty that I work in an aquarium. But... but... ours are enriched and happy and having babies! And... um... *flails* Okay. I shall now call every penguin Dave and wish him "good morning".

Aaaaaand and icon meme, last seen on grrliz's journal, because I cannot resist them.


Overall Fave Icon:
(by me)
I don't think if it's my favorite this exact moment, but it's one I'd never part with. One of the first icons I made, I don't even mind the blocky text like I should.

Romantic Icon:
(by hyel)
Featuring the Headtilt of Starcrossed Doom.

Sad Icon:

Puppet!Angel wins this category every time.

Pissed Off Icon:
(by me)
I don't really do angry, but this works in a pinch.

Happy Icon:
(by iconofilth)
A full category, but this edges past the others.

Funny Icon:
(by thirdhex)
Ah, MST3K. You shall live on in our hearts 4eva.

Song Icon:
(by me)
I always thought the people in this stock photo looked like Sirius, James, and Lily on a funky New Year's. But Lily's cuddling the model that looks like Gary Oldman, and James has sadly misplaced his glasses.

Poor snowy Xander.

Quote Icon:
(by me)
Because I can no longer watch this film without MST3King the piss out of it.

Private Joke Icon:
(by me)
This came from an artpad drawing by notbiddable that showcased my interest "spontaneous violent love" (which I participate in and had no name for until the LOTR dvd's). The heart is supposed to be jumping out of the blue all...spontaneously, but I edited out the blue by mistake. Alas.

Work Icon:

Hobby Icon:

Most of my distractions come from my desktop. Or in paperback.

I have as many smartass icons as I do happy ones.

Self Icon:
(by dropsofsunshine)
I actually have a userpic graced with my shiny visage, but as anyone whom I've ever shared a dorm with can tell you this is more... me.


* This is the one and only time I've been in an American Eagle - I saw the hat in the window and couldn't help myself. I also purchased this, and was sorely tempted to buy some of these, too, although I already have three pairs. Glittons, as we've discussed previously, are the shit.
