Short on content, long on trauma; also, Pete's Dragon music FTW!

Well, got a lot of reading done during exam proctoring on Saturday, but achieved approximately nothing yesterday (as I slept late and vegetated for a large part of the day). So this balances out to my average amount of weekend work, which is not good given I have a presentation tomorrow and a presentation Thursday. WOE.


Oh, Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, why are you such an awesome comic? (GO READ if you haven't already.)

From oooshiny:

What American accent do you have?
Created by Xavier on Memegen.net

Western. Like Midland, Western is another accent that people consider neutral. So, you might not actually be from the Western half of the country, but you definitely sound like it.

Take this quiz now - it's easy!

We're going to start with "cot" and "caught." When you say those words do they sound the same or different?

Same, no wait I mean different, maybe, a little bit different... Different Same

AHAHAHAHA I was sure I'd get the Midland accent having lived in the Midwest all my life. But apparently I sound Western, y'all. XD

Let's Positive Linking!
- I had not heard that Chuck Palahniuk came out. I have to admit I was highly amused by reading about the homophobic Fight Club fans who were all "NOOOOO MY MANLY COUNTERCULTURE IDOL CANNOT HAVE TEH GAY!!!1!" XD
- OHSHIT IT'S A NINJA. Seriously, this guy is awesome. Why can't we have fun shows like this? (The closest we ever got was American Gladiators, I think, which was awesome cheesy fun...whatever happened to that show anyway?)
- Also, society is officially over with. (This and above from jokersama.) That link has a YouTube video. Where a radio show in Jacksonville offered free Larry the Cable Guy tickets to people who were willing to make out with their moms. And sure enough, the mom and daughter in this video "git 'er done" with a 60-second liplock WITH TONGUE AUGH MAKE IT STOP

Maybe he did? (I'm not a Palahniuk fan, never having read any of his books.) But that article makes it sound like it was only a few months ago?

[jantalaimon.livejournal.com]

The article totally does make it seem like it was not that long ago. So I'm totally confused. XD Whatever. Doesnae matter. I think his writing's interesting and he's kind of an amusing misanthrope in interviews, but as usual I think placing too much importance in anything is a bad idea. People overanalyse the hell out of his writing. XD

...NEVERMIND. Just reread it, I missed their reference to 2003. That's 4 years ago. Now I feel much, much better. XD

[yoshitsune.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay...I missed that too. So I guess this is only news to folks who are pretty much strangers to Palahniuk and his fandom. XD

[jantalaimon.livejournal.com]

I've read some of his books and I think he's an ok writer, but I wouldn't say I'm part of his "fandom." I usually stay away from fandoms, except apparently for that one I can't shut up about that's completely eaten my brain. You know. The name will come to you. XD But I think you've known me long enough to know that hasn't really ever happened before. XD

Hmmm, that fandom that's sucked you in recently...I'm coming up completely blank. All I can think of is the titles of Bowie songs, for some inexplicable reason. XD
