I woke up really late this morning and realized I was really congested--ew, summer cold--and then watched two hours of "I Love the '90s" with Sister Girl, and I am just now (1 pm) getting to my computer. Yar.


I totally forgot to say happy birthday to [livejournal.com profile] brassyn and [livejournal.com profile] hawleygriffen earlier this week, because I am delinquent. Happy birthday!


You know you've made it when you get your own colorbar.


And here's something to think about: Flashdance was just a touch before my time, in that I was basically a toddler, but we saw it on VH1 a couple of weeks ago, and all of a sudden I want the soundtrack. So I'm listening to "What a Feeling" on MP3 (shhhhh), and I realize that I can't understand half the lyrics. I mean--okay, you listen to it. "I can really have it all/ ________ come alive when I call." What? I eventually broke down and googled "Flashdance lyrics," so I know what it really says now, but I swear the backup singers are saying "Bitches come alive when I call." This is a power I want. I think it would come in handy.

"BITCHES!"

*flash of lightning*

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

Haha! That's the best.

I want to read the King Arthur parody, but I still haven't seen it. Woe. Tomorrow, if I'm lucky.

Brilliant!

I always said that you know you've made it when you get your own signature stamp, but a colourbar is a damn close second.

"Summon Bitch" Spell

Now, would this be undead bitches, as in zombie hos, or magical, perhaps immortal, bitches, like the some sassy valkyries or and army of Joan Rivers clones? Or does it merely allow everyone to access the mean snark which lies within - sort of like the spell in the final episode of Buffy, except the foe is some really bad TV show insead of an army of CGI vamps. Considering the reaction to the final episode among my friends, perhaps this spell *was* used.

Wow!! Your own colorbar! go you!!

The coolness of that totally cancels out the uncoolness of your making Flashdance get stuck in my head! ^_^

Can it be the cool David Bowie song, or does it have to be the Irene Cara one?

Fame, (fame) what you like is in the limo

Have you seen Triple X?

Funniest/most disturbing line in the movie (or at least the most memorable): "Bitches, Come!" whereupon several buxom bikiniklads bounce onto the screen.

Its quite the jaw-dropper, and you end up staring at the screen wondering if they somehow suddenly switched the reel to Conan the Barbarian. Though i suppose they would need to have the leopard-skin bikinis from the Flintstone fashion lineup for that.

come to think of it XXX would make a great m15m. They have lots of silly lines, and silly props like x ray glasses, and snowboarding down avalanching hills and doomsday devices. Prime stuff.

Too bad "Bulletproof Monk" didnt stay in theatres longer. It was infinitely mockable, but since so few people saw it it doesnt make good m15m fodder. Really though, how can one go wrong with evil Nazis, infernal machines that include both touch screens AND rushing water (a la princess bride), not to mention your classic rooftop showdown and decent martial arts. Fun.

That would be a cool power!

OMG! I never saw XXX, but "Bitches come" is so infamous that it was actually given the "Line So Bad That It Circles Back Around Into Brilliance" when we did the Cleo Awards (http://www.dailydigest.net/cleoawards02.html) at the Digest in 2002. LOVE.

Ooo. You may definitely opt for the Bowie.

That would be a handy power! But what I really came here from [livejournal.com profile] metaquotes to say is that you should submit that interpretation of the lyrics to http://www.kissthisguy.com.

I just got over a flippin' summer cold. They so suck.

Birthdays are great! My sixteenth is next Wednesday! And I have Band Camp, College, and Theatre Rehearsal so I can do NOTHING....

I want to be able to have bitches at my beckon call, too.

I just Googled it myself and the result is that the missing lyric is, "Pictures come alive when I call." I think I prefer your version.

You've just made that song infinitely more amusing for me.

You do have this power--remember what happens when some loser tries to flame you?

I think I prefer it too. I mean, "pictures"? It's not like she works in any sort of visual medium; she's flailing around on a hardwood floor in her legwarmers. Whatev.

while this may be the first color bar devoted to you, ive had a cleolinda inspired color bar of my own makings on my userinfo page (http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=glittergram), and because im a retart, I keep on forgetting to respond to any one of your lj posts to tell you. (because im pretty much too lazy to email)

This would be very handy with the school year staring in *twitchshudder* 3 weeks. They would fit in with some of the other girls at school...whoops, did I say that?

8th grade. I feel very young...

Lol! Nice. I read through the rest of the awards and it was a great laugh.

The 'only the good die young' category is sooo true. Equilibrium was fantastic, and should have received many many awardlike objects. In fact, i would humbly disagree with your 'best action sequence' award in favour of the scene in Equilibrium where the guy has The Best Gunfight Ever in the alley with the cops and the shotguns and the backflipping over the motorbike and wow. We couldnt even continue to watch the rest of the movie without replaying it 6 times (twice at frame-by-frame). Sooooo cool.

I usually Hate gunfight scenes, but that made me a believer.

I wanted to see that one, but it never came to town--should have rented it, and never got around to it. Doing any kind of year-end awards thing is sort of dumb if you're not one of those entertainment reporters who is forced to see everything, so it's admittedly a very flawed selection process. The main page, www.dailydigest.net/cleoawards.html, has links to the other two years I've done them.

You know, it's about time to start compiling ideas for awards from the first part of the year...

Aww. I'm twenty-five, and some days I feel really really old, and other days I feel like a total baby. I think it's something you never really get over. I do remember people--girls particularly--being complete and total bitches at that age, though. Hang in there. :)

yeah.. i was really excited that it could work out that way. :-)
