| Harry Potter + amateur musical = LOLZ |
[Jul. 29th, 2009|08:14 pm] |
Oh YouTube, you never fail to amuse me! This is a fan-made Harry Potter musical that kind of . . . squashes aspects from all the books together. It's a bit hard to hear all the dialogue sometimes, but otherwise hysterically funny.
"No way this year anyone's gonna die!" Hee!
Harry: "Who's this?"
Ron: "This is stupid little dumb sister Ginnie."
Malfoy: I have a bet with Goyle. He says you won't last five minutes at Hogwarts. I disagree. I think you won't last five minutes at PIGFARTS.
Pigfarts, according to Malfoy, is the greatest wizarding school EVER and he is going to transfer there and it is ON MARS.
This is my favorite clip so far . . . Quirrell and Voldemort stuggle to cohabit a single body! By breaking into song.

| The Rude Awakening of Optimus Prime |
[Jul. 12th, 2009|03:19 pm] |
I just found some hilarious parody clips of Transformers (G1) on YouTube. Part of their charm is that the people voicing the characters sound exactly like the original voice actors in most cases. (The human kids and Megatron are a bit "off.")
My favorite dialogue:
"Who the fuck is this Autobot?"
"Wheelie's my name! Want to play a game?"
"NO."
"Uh, Prime, Wheelie's been helping us for a while. We use him as a decoy a lot."
XD

| Thrills! Chills! Picfics! |
[May. 31st, 2009|06:23 pm] |
My old computer occasionally makes unhappy noises and will sometimes process things veeery slooowly, which makes me fear it's on its last legs. I have my laptop, of course, but my major concern is losing work on this computer . . . Stories, pictures, and so on. So today I uploaded every picfic I ever wrote on my webspace (I say "webspace" instead of website because, lazily, I have not actually turned it into a website as yet.)
I slapped together a quick page for them and they can be viewed here.
Most of them are My Little Beast Wars fics, but Secret Oranges (Booster Gold's most SECRET of secret origins) and Bobbie Zombie Finds a Friend are also up. ^_^ |

| The majestic spaghetti tree |
[Apr. 19th, 2009|11:31 am] |
I love the British sense of humor. :D
According to the Museum of Hoaxes, "Huge numbers of viewers were taken in. Many called the BBC wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti tree. To this the BBC diplomatically replied, 'place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best.'" |

| The GOP's hiphop makeover, or "How is this not an Onion article?" |
[Feb. 19th, 2009|03:10 pm] |
Oh my God. WHAT THE HELL. RNC chair plans 'off the hook' campaign, tells critics to ‘stuff it’ 
(CNN) — Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele says his party is going to launch an "off the hook" public relations campaign that will update the GOP’s image by translating it to "urban-suburban hip-hop settings." “We need messengers to really capture that region — young, Hispanic, black, a cross section…” he said in an interview published Thursday. “We want to convey that the modern-day GOP looks like the conservative party that stands on principles. But we want to apply them to urban-surburban hip-hop settings.” He added, jokingly, that “we need to uptick our image with everyone, including one-armed midgets.” Steele described the new multi-platform PR offensive as “avant-garde, technically. It will come to [the] table with things that will surprise everyone — off the hook.” Asked whether that meant cutting-edge tactics, Steele demurred. “I don't do 'cutting-edge,’” he said. “That's what Democrats are doing. We're going beyond cutting-edge.” Steele dismissed the assessments of some Republicans that he needs a deputy to handle areas like logistics, fundraising and candidate recruitment. “I can run this organization just fine,” he said. “There will be no deputy chairman, period. …People who said I can't make the trains run on time never gave a reason. I say to them, 'Stuff it.'"

| The original Mary Sue |
[Jan. 6th, 2009|08:40 pm] |
I knew that the term "Mary Sue" came from the Trekkie fandom but it was only today that I actually saw the tongue-in-cheek story that coined the phrase.
Here it is:
A TREKKIE'S TALE
By Paula Smith
"Gee, golly, gosh, gloriosky," thought Mary Sue as she stepped on the bridge of the Enterprise. "Here I am, the youngest lieutenant in the fleet - only fifteen and a half years old." Captain Kirk came up to her.
"Oh, Lieutenant, I love you madly. Will you come to bed with me?"
"Captain! I am not that kind of girl!"
"You're right, and I respect you for it. Here, take over the ship for a minute while I go get some coffee for us."
Mr. Spock came onto the bridge. "What are you doing in the command seat, Lieutenant?"
"The Captain told me to."
"Flawlessly logical. I admire your mind."
Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, Dr. McCoy and Mr. Scott beamed down with Lt. Mary Sue to Rigel XXXVII. They were attacked by green androids and thrown into prison. In a moment of weakness Lt. Mary Sue revealed to Mr. Spock that she too was half Vulcan. Recovering quickly, she sprung the lock with her hairpin and they all got away back to the ship.
But back on board, Dr. McCoy and Lt. Mary Sue found out that the men who had beamed down were seriously stricken by the jumping cold robbies , Mary Sue less so. While the four officers languished in Sick Bay, Lt. Mary Sue ran the ship, and ran it so well she received the Nobel Peace Prize, the Vulcan Order of Gallantry and the Tralfamadorian Order of Good Guyhood.
However the disease finally got to her and she fell fatally ill. In the Sick Bay as she breathed her last, she was surrounded by Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, Dr. McCoy, and Mr. Scott, all weeping unashamedly at the loss of her beautiful youth and youthful beauty, intelligence, capability and all around niceness. Even to this day her birthday is a national holiday of the Enterprise.
---
Shorter than I expected, but nevertheless they managed to hit most of the salient Mary Sue points. Except I think she should have been Scottie's niece. |

I want to do a more comprehensive Christmas/New Years post later, but I will note here and now that after cleaning my apartment it graciously allowed me to find my Sims 2 CDs. FINALLY!! I have been looking for these for months and found every Sims expansion, but not the original Sims 2.
And why was I looking so fervently for Sims 2? Well, let me share some recent screenshots with you.
 
 
In addition to deformed, floating cats who do the dishes and make grilled cheese, my game also features toddlers who talk in adult voices and get jobs, adult Sims who switched to the wrong gender-voice (transSims?), half my Sims suddenly getting the Grilled Cheese aspiration where all they want to do is make and eat grilled cheese, and a creepy floating dog who hangs around outside and stares through the windows.
Oh, the cats also talk. And have jobs.
. . . . .
I may reinstall under a new directory so as to keep the weirdness of the current set up. |

| Poem o' the Week |

I googled for quite a while today trying to track down a poem from years ago . . . The line I remembered best had to do with headless chickens, which resulted in some very . . . interesting search results. To my surprise, the poem seems to be on only one place on the whole interwebz! So I'm copying it down here. It deserves more attention.

Now I'm off to decorate sugar cookies. Woo! |

It's snowing like crazy right now . . . It's supposed to last all night and through tomorrow, I think.
I'm watching a police drama on PBS that's . . . special. There's the usual routine of questioning people, investigating, OMG suspect, but in addition there's a narrator whose remarks--well, half of them are blatantly obvious descriptions of the action of the screen and the other half sound like they should be in print. For example:
"Lilly bites his lip and shakes his head."
"Gideon slumps into a leather chair and stares woefully ahead."
"A dog stands by the door, barking."
"He raises his eyebrows."
"Lilly looks at Havers; her green eyes dart to the constable."
"She gapes after him as he stalks off; now Lilly walks with a nun."
Edit: It turns out I accidentally had closed captioning on. I highly recommend trying this any time you're bored by what's on TV. The purple prose really MADE it. |

The awesome thing about mail in ballots is that I can get my vote in before the east coast for once. With normal balloting, the procedure goes like this:
TV Anchor: "And here we have the results from the east, the midwest, and--oh! we just got the numbers from California! Election over!"
The electoral college, making northwestern states besides California feel insignificant since 1845!
And now, for no reason except "I want to", I present John McCain getting Barack-roll'd.

| A Horrible dream |
[Aug. 14th, 2008|10:22 am] |
I dreamed that Dr. Horrible was working on a new project of evil . . . in rented mall space, for some reason. Also a couple other people who may or may not have been villains. (He seemed to have a crush on the Asian woman in the lab coat.)
Anyway, he caught wind that something wasn't right and they snuck out of the mall, only to be spotted in the parking lot. Who was after them? I still don't know, but they drove creepy, grey, unpainted vans and had rocket nets. BA-BOOM! The others were caught, but Dr. Horrible managed to pull himself out of the net and run away to a nearby park where he climbed a lightpost to escape from carnivorous dinosaurs. Which, apparently, live in the park.
Poor Billy. I was glad to see he escaped from the Mysterious Vans, though. Maybe later he'll tame a dinosaur and they'll kick ass together. |

| Essay, done! Woooo! Also Green Lantern ficlet |
[Aug. 13th, 2008|12:20 am] |
Well, I just finished the final essay of English 101. I was dreading it all day because it was an in-class essay that had to be finished in two hours. Two hours! How can I obsessively start and delete five essays before desperately scribbling out the final product in a mere two hours? HAVE THEY NO RESPECT FOR MY METHOD?
Anyway, it wasn't as bad as I thought. I handed it in and then revised one of my old essays for my "portfolio." Do all schools have English portfolios? Well, anyway.
Here's something I found on my hard drive that comic-y folks might enjoy.
It's based on the first issue of . . . Green Lantern volume 2? Perhaps? Well. Anyway, starring Hal, around the time of the JLI. Guy and Ted make brief guest star appearances.
