Podworld News

Celia wanted me to talk about my dream from the other night (so she can share the pain of being told?). Not the one with the sentient burglar alarm fungi, but the Sean Bean one. And I don't know, I find reading about dreams boring. But since she asked so nicely...

So I dreamt that Sean Bean and I were in the Caribbean together and we had sex after he said, "You've been so supportive the past few days..."

It was weird.

I was speaking to dreadpiratetait the other day, and the topic of zombies came up (naturally). It seems that there's been a shift of zombie behavior over the last thirty years or so. I mean, think back. In the early zombie movies, zombies were slow moving, flesh-eating, and tenacious. Part of what made them really scary was the fact that they were relentless. Even if you remove part of their bodies, they just keep on coming. In contrast, the majority of zombies these days are fast moving. Still relentless, still flesh-eating, but no longer slow (with the exception of Shaun of the Dead but then that was a comedy). Zombies now move at a frighteningly fast pace. And I was wondering if it was a cultural thing. The zombies of the MTV generation need to be faster maybe?

I don't know, but I know that there has been a shift in zombie lifestyle. Discuss.

So it's 70 degrees out according to the thing that measures such things on my deck. It's lovely. I'm sitting here, listening to the wind and watching a plastic bag try to free itself from the trees. It's the only other noise besides the wind and what I assume is traffic (edit: nope, that's mostly wind, scary). I'm waiting for nanne to get out of the shower so we can go get something to eat. I have stuff to do today, but I'm really glad I took today off, and it's a great start to the vacation.

And now he's out of the shower and trying to convince me that I need to dye my hair blonde. I'm not so sure though...

So for Christmas I got some fabulous things, of which I will mention two items only for now (these are from the homegoing and major stuff-getting portion of the holiday). I now have a blue nintendo ds, which I am absolutely obsessed with and play while commuting. So far I've held off playing it at other times, since I only have the one game thus far and am trying to pace myself. I love my nintendo ds!!! And my brother got me a lego death star!!!!! That's right, lego death star, just over 3,500 pieces. It intimidates me. I think when it's done it will be bigger than my head. And deathstarific!

Instead of a fancy-schmancy link that I'd have to think about, I just copied and pasted this. This is old, but still pertinent. It's about why Rudolph is the seed of all evil in our culture. Jenny wanted me to repost it. Do enjoy.

Things are amiss in the Podworld. Oh yes they are. But they'll work themselves out, they always do. And honestly, at some point you have to just roll with the punches. Ideally I'd like the punches to come less frequently, and perhaps lighter, but whatever. Though, given the amazing amount of debt I'm planning to assume in the next few weeks, please understand if I never go out for dinner, drinks, or on holiday with you ever again.

Hey, so if anyone hasn't seen Corpse Bride and wants to see it with me, let me
know somehow. (Note that somehow doesn't have to be on LJ)

In other movie news, EW has been giving me a whole lot of free screening passes
for stuff. It's kind of weird.

For Serenity, we'll be at the 7:45 pm showing at Regal on Rt 1 in No.
Brunswick, in case anyone missed that email.

Next week, I plan to see MirrorMask in NYC. Let me know if you're interested.

Oh, and something bad happened to dinner when I tried to make it. It was sad, and inedible. It looked right, it smelled right, but tasted disgustingly bitter, which really isn't what I associate zucchini with. So I had toast instead.

ps. stereo still broken. hope to bring it to people who fix things on saturday. wish me luck.

So I often look at odd news and opinions on various news sites. And I often
come across things that are interesting. But this one... well, this one dreadpiratetait wanted me to post. So anyway, here we go, a commentary
on Star
Trek and pedophiles. Anyway, I found it interesting...

And it really wasn't. It was white, and I was wearing anything but. The questions remain though... where did the thread come from? Was it missed? How did it find me to latch onto?
