I know it's wrong on a number of levels, but I really want someone to make a BSG vid to Jonathan Coulton's "Chiron Beta Prime."

Seriously. I dare you to listen to that song with that in mind and not giggle. It has so much potential for hilarious wrongness...

Oh, look, my fonts folder finally loaded - back to work...

So, [livejournal.com profile] lizbee posted a few pics the other day from a book Lalla Ward illustrated back in the 1970s or so... and of course being that it was a cat book I couldn't resist looking.

It's... a bit like looking in a mirror, actually.

Images under the cut! )

So, last night I decided that since it was down to one showing a day at our local theater, it was important for me to go see "Hellboy 2" again before it goes out of theaters. The nightly showing is at 9:20. So after getting home from seeing [livejournal.com profile] ursule and [livejournal.com profile] glasseye, I dropped off my stuff and ran back out to the movie, got my ticket, and slipped into the back-row just as the opening trailers ended. Perfect timing!

Unfortunately, my choice of seating was apparently not perfect. I'd taken the empty right-hand back row on the theory that since I was alone, I might as well enjoy my alone-ness and have nobody around me. This was quickly foiled by some guy (henceforth known as "Asshat") showing up about 5 minutes in, plopping down next to me, and leaning over very much into my space to loudly whisper "What did I miss?"

...Excuse me? I don't know this guy, what the hell does he think he's doing? There's a whole empty row on the other side of the aisle - why must he plunk himself down next to me? But I decide that politeness is the better track than saying all of that, so I hiss "Not much." (Which is more or less true - he'd come in right after the puppet bit and hit the end of the opening credits). "What? Just watch?" "Not. Much," I hiss again. He natters something about having seen the first movie, I ignore him, he goes quiet for a minute and then disappears out the door again. I, thinking perhaps this was a bizarre practical joke, settle in to enjoy the movie.

I should have known that my luck just isn't that good. )

Long story short... Asshats the world over, take notice: If a girl is sitting in the back row of a theater all alone, she is not looking for company. She's looking to enjoy a movie alone. Let her.

I just have this awful feeling Asshat is one of those guys who goes on about how he tries to talk to women, but we're all stuck-up bitches who don't appreciate his efforts. Eugh.

Also, GIP. I want my own personal Delgado!Master to scold the horrible rude people of the world. XD

Okay, this whole not being able to highlight in some entries thing really upsets me. Why? Because I have a semi-compulsive habit of highlighting patterns in text while I read. It's really weird and I can't really remember how it started, but now it's habit, and it bothers me to not be able to do it. It makes me kind of twitchy.

...Yeah, I know, I'm crazy.

In other news, game last night was really fun (many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] jyuu_chan and [livejournal.com profile] stormwolf for lending me the player's handbook, and to [livejournal.com profile] glasseye and [livejournal.com profile] ursule for inviting me!), although I have a slight problem with my character. I had originally conceived of him as sort of... pathetic in personality, but not necessarily in actions. He's gotten by on his own for four years; he's still a bit naive but he's got the necessary skills. So what happens last night? Everything poor Fane did decided to go wrong. A seventh-level paladin should not be able to blow things that badly. :P

Of course, part of it was me mucking up my modifiers 'cause I haven't played in so long. So at least that ought not to be an issue for much longer...

Also, the internet is screwy and won't let me get to the online newspapers and such that usually entertain me. I'm going to be lonely and needy today, f-list: please pity me and give me attention and entertainment? ♥
