WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[gogmagog]

Well, thanks to the pimping of various people on IRC, I've been reading JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. >_<

First off, it's very...well...gay. There's simply no other way to categorize a series featuring muscular, tightly-dressed men with questionable friendships making flamboyant poses at each other. XD

Second, the rock and roll puns are out of control. Jonathan's best friend/groupie is named Robert E.O. Speedwagon, his mentor is Zeppeli (presumably his first name is Led?), who learned his own MAD SKILLZ from Tom Petty and his disciples Dire and Straits. The villains of arc 2, ancient proto-vampire-thingamabobs, are named Santana, Wham, AC/DC, and Cars. In order to defeat them, Jonathan's son Joseph goes to train with Lisa Lisa and her servants Messina, Loggins and Suzy Q. And I hear they just get worse. XD

However, I've got to admit I do like its distinctive brand of Special. And I've only got like 60 volumes to go! XD

Anyway, I think I may be coming down with something. I've been feeling achey and exhausted for the past week or so, and have been in a total fugue state - for example, Thursday I was getting ready to leave the house, thought, "oh, it's cold, I'd better put on a coat," and then realized, "oh, I'd better put on some pants, too."

Also my gut seems to be trying to devour itself. Ugh, there are some days I could totally live without a digestive system.

I'm really starting to hate my seminar class. And the weird thing is, I shouldn't - I'm interested in the subject, the readings are interesting, I like the teacher (who's the nicest person EVAR - seriously, I'm doing a presentation on Janet Hamilton later in the month, and so she lent me an 1885 first edition of Hamilton's poems to help with the research!), I like my classmates...there's no real reason I should dislike this class except that I feel dismally stupid in it. For example, we've had to take turns coming up with discussion questions for part of Aurora Leigh, and Wednesday was my turn...only every question I came up with got shot down by the rest of the class. They weren't being mean or anything, they were just like, "well, I don't really see that, because of this" and then I'd be like, "oh, I hadn't seen it like that but that's a good point and makes way more sense than my interpretation of that. And, er, that also happens to completely invalidate my point. Crap." So basically I never say anything in that class that isn't a) obvious, b) irrelevant, c) moronic, or d) some new and exciting combination of the above!

Oh well, at least I'm mostly enjoying my other classes.

Let's Positive Linking!
- A sequel to The Dark Crystal? That could be either really good or really bad. :/
- MOST ROMANTIC VALENTINE'S DAY EVAR. From someone on the flist, I don't remember who. (eikitty, maybe?)
- Crack crack crack the egg into the bowl. Butter butter butter joins the bowl! ...Now I want to bake me a cake. D:
- Tilt-shift photography is the coolest thing ever. Those are all full-size things in those pictures, by the way. (From rathershady.)
- Bollywood remakes Fight Club. With musical sequences, natch! (From satsu.)

This is totally unrelated, but we've been meaning to tell you for awhile. We found your Blockbuster card and frequent buyer card for a soap store in the floor board of Vinnie's car. We are guessing it is the bloody remnants of your wallet exploding. If you want to email one of us your address in Iowa, we will totally stick them in an envelope and mail them to you.

We just found them last week, I think this just proves that Vinnie's car is WAY TOO MESSY!

Ha ha, that probably is indeed the cause. I thought I'd got all the stuff up, but I guess not. D:

And sure, I'll e-mail you my address. Don't feel like it's a hurry or anything, though - I can certainly go through to Spring Break, or even summer, without using them.
