random: Simpsons, songs, Parakiss, Time Enough

It r hot, yo. (Forgot how to say very. Uhh … muy XD atsui.) Atsui, yo.

“Wow. Trowa‘s usually quiet, so it must be a good idea.”

O_o Anyway. I’m being random. I’m in a random mood.

For some reason while watching Simpsons I started reciting the lines along with the characters. “Oh, I’ve created Lutherans!” “Must Kill Moe. Wheee! Must Kill Moe. Wheee!” XD *ahem*

“I’ve been taunting them, singing off key … mah mee my moe, mah moo my may— AGH!” Incorrect line. But you get the idea. Chief “Piggum.” I forget which episode. Apparently so do Hidek and Adam. Darn. Darn is a real word. I forget what it has to do with dragonflies, though.

I like this chorus. “I know you are wrong. Headstrong. Headstrong. I’ll take you on. I’ll take on anyone.” Or something.

I also like the chorus to Christina Aguilera’s “Fighter.” >.> Don’t tell anyone that. “Make me that much stronger. Makes me work a little bit harder.” Or … switch that around.

I also kinda like the music video. Don’t tell anyone that either. I don’t like the Asian-ness of her outfit, though. Adam says maybe it’s because I feel like people are wearing it as a fad, and they know nothing about the culture. Yeah. That makes sense, no? But I don’t like the rest of the song, funnily enough. It’s nothing special, and for the life of me I can’t remember what it sounds like. All I remember is the chorus and her smashing the glass and her fluttering her eyelashes and her black outfit melting away.

Anyway. I think I like weird indie stuff. Probably not, though. It’s still hot. Yo La Tengo is in my mind.

I bought the first volume of Megatokyo. Yaaay. No one has Paradise Kiss. Well … that BnN in Ventura had 3 and 4. The Waldenbooks here has 3. The Waldenbooks at the Westside Pavilion has none. Or maybe they have 1 and 4. BnN at WP has NONE. They have Abhorsen though. Hardback still. T-T There’re a lot of books I could possibly fall headfirst into.

Time Enough For Love has gotten kinda draggy lately. >.> Although it was rather funny how he said they wear clothes all the time, even while they sleep. Hah. Funnay. Yeah. And he said clothes say a lot about your social status and what you do and your education. He’s in 1916 right now.

Last I read, he was attracted to his mother, so he cut his trip short. Or … that’s what he told himself, anyway. Time paradoxes, either you have or you haven’t. And his mother hadn’t been unfaithful to his dad, and he hadn’t had an eighth sibing.

That commercial, I guess it’s a car commercial. For the Passat? Can’t recall. He called hmself from the future. But don’t you think, if he’s in the future calling himself, then he’s in a trillion other places at other times, and so would that time or whatever have to lead to himself calling from the future again? Bad wording. ._.

Um. “Regardless of warnings the future doesn’t scare me at all. Nothing’s like before.” Utada Hikaru

I also like Amy Lee when she sings, “Look, here she comes now. Bow down and stare in wonder.”

I wish I could sing. Mommy had this theory that tone-deafness influenced your music tastes. Tone-deaf equals heavy metal. Something like that. ‘Cause Mickey likes tuneful pop stuff and plays cornet, and Mommy likes tuneful stuff, and plays cornet … and other instruments, and Auntie G is tone-deaf, and always liked the harder stuff. That was interesting. But then I pointed out someone I know of online can sing and wanted to be an opera singer at one time, and she likes Evanescence. Then Adam says he can’t sing and he likes metal and classic rock, but he played trumpet before.

I’m bored now. I forget what I’ve said. My brain died. I can’t recall what I’ve done today. Major stuff, yeah, but not small stuff …

Fried Green Tomatoes; Citizen Kane; gravestones

Friday, 23 May, 2003 at 6:58 pm

I think I am too old to be a carefree child, and too young to be anything else. :b Intead of “too old to be young and too young to be old” as said by Evelyn Couch. I finished that yesterday. Did I say that? I liked it.

I don’t know if I ever saw the ending to the movie. ^^;; Sat through the beginning and middle like three times, and I can’t ever recall the ending … like I saw Joy Luck Club two or three or four times, and it wasn’t until the fourth time that I remembered the ending long after I saw the whole movie. o.o;;

Today I watched KTLA News (Jennifer what’s-her-name kept laughing while she was looking at the Fox 11 copter pilot …), VH1/MTV stuff, uh … A.I. (the last half O_o), parts of Kikujiro XD, then watched Citizen Kane with Mommy. Fell asleep at one part. *falls over*

At the beginning, I kept laughing. And it’s all The Simpsons’ fault. XP But anyway. Good movie. Really bad tape. Mommy said we’re gonna get it on DVD. Yay, maybe then I’ll understand whatall they’re saying.

That reminds me. Not to spoil the book or anything (don’t think it’s much of a spoiler, I think the thing afterwards is more surprising … but then again, what do I know? I read things differently from other people. >.>) but when Evelyn visited the cemetary and saw the double headstone (or whatever they’re called … for couples) and I thought, gee, isn’t that a nice thing to have? One dies, the other just sits around knowing there’s something with his/her name on it, just waiting for the final date, then the people who made the gravestone in the first place have got another job over and done with. That was rather cynical, ne? ^^;;

Anyway. I also thought, what’s it like, to be expected to lie next to this person for eternity…. You know, to be tied in such a way … like, there’s the man’s name, there’s the woman’s first name, the man’s last name (legally her last name, but blah), and uhh … I’m just being weird. But still. It’s a thought.

Another thing, are their graves closer to each other than any others? Or is there like a certain distance away they have to start digging, so as not to hit any other caskets … which reminds me, I always wondered, like in X-Files when they dug up bodies, how did they do that? Would’t it be rude to strike the casket? Would they use that same marred one when they rebury the body? Or is it already marred by whatever’s going on in the ground?

Something I just thought … what if someone has their partner die, then remarries (respectably), where are they buried? Together? Separate? The first person with the second person? Or is it all in the prenuptials or something? Ahaha. Now I’m really being weird. What’s worse? Having two headstones or two grave plots? Two partners to choose between, or two families? And how did they do it in the past? Wife goes in the guy’s family cemetary, I guess. ^^;;

Family cemetaries give me the creeps. Ever since I saw that Nightmare Gallery episode. EEEEE!! *runs away with her hands thrown over her head at the thought*

Disney; Lily songs

Thursday, 1 May, 2003 at 5:21 pm

Walt Disney is scaaary. ;-; He had a locomotive set up around his house and one time when he was getting some ideas about Disneyland (so the book says), he jumped the tracks and crashed into the living room of his house. O_< His wife was pissed. :b Then another time he … too tired to type it out.

Is smartness a gene? … I think I’ve read too many Ralph Wiggum quotes today.

“She’s touching my special area!” “My cat’s breath smells like cat food.” “I bent my wookie.” “The doctor told me I wouldn’t have so many nosebleeds if I just kept my finger out of there.”

Ever wish you could close your eyes and just curl up inside a song? These Lily Chou-Chou songs make me feel like that. It’s odd. I still love that movie. Well maybe not love. But … o_o! Yeah. I wanna see Battle Royale. Some site said there’s a Battle Royale II in production. O.o Well anyway. I guess I’d have to buy the movie. ‘Cause how many video rental stores have a modern disturbing Japanese film on their shelves?

-.- And apparently … I am not getting it. $37 minimum. Nuh-uh. I don’t care if people say AALCC is a copy. I ain’t paying that much. …

I keep picturing the people in AALCC listening to Lily. ^^;;; Woooow, niice. *sigh* Now Battle Royale is buggin’ me like heck. -_- Oi. I owe Mommy $25 for the Ai Yazawa artbook. Don’t know why I bought it. The scanner’s not good at all. Well, it’s adequate for normal scanning. But not scanning art and stuff. Yuck. Also Mommy wants a legal size scanner. XP W00t! Support my side! Um. But I know nothing about scanners.

“Ai no jikken” whatever jikken means. Experiment. Ah. O_o *ahem* Remind me to translate Lily Chou-Chou lyrics.

Pardon my … oddities, but in one song, it sounds like she sings “death like life.” ^^; I don’t have the lyrics for all 9 songs, so i don’t know.

I also want the rest of Paradise Kiss. $30. Fun.

grrrr! tv shows changing and stuff

Saturday, 19 January, 2002 at 9:18 pm

Dangit! First I find that TVLand/Nick at Nite/whatever is editing I Love Lucy (or at least they edited the one after Hollywood where the Ricardos and Mertzes have a fight over moving to a new apartment). After that the X-Files gets cancelled (well, that I’m not so miffed over, it’s pretty dead). Then today stupidFOX cut off the end of I Love Lucy (viewers didn’t see Ricky get his job at the Tropicana!).

Now I find that Nickelodeon cancelled Invader Zim! My tv life is so unfair. And I already know about Hey Arnold! being as good as cancelled. *pouts* Television sucks. stupidFOX is editing old Simpsons episodes also, can’t forget that. Oyeah!!! My Turner Classic Movies was taken away!!! Hmph. No more black and whites and classics.

*Kenan voice* Whyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!
