cleolindaOkay, so, in Kingdom of Loathing, I'm falling-down drunk (yeah, I only wish I was drinking right now). A Beat Snatcher is still me, but now I have a meatcar and a dinghy. I'm currently trying to figure this one out: "Around the bend, you find a curious thing: A door completely covered with salad (not pictured.) You won't be able to get past this door unless you uncover it. If only you had a way to move all of this salad." I tried tongs and it didn't work. (ETA: I tried them again and they felt like working this time. Yay!)
The Olympic opening program: The Greeks are on craaaaaack. For serious, y'all. I mean, the red centaur was cool. The history parade was cool. But the rest of it? I have no idea what's going on. Slo-mo exploding Greek art? Cube guy? Some random couple "frolicking" in the water? "Hi, I represent the naked future of Greece! Watch my belly glow!"
Sister Girl: "Heeeee. She's pregnant with a lightbulb."
Me: "Got a streetlamp for her babydaddy."
So now we're watching the parade of nations, and--this is going to take until 11 pm? Wow.
ETA: So. Much. Techno music. I think we're gonna have a lightswitch rave.

Date: 2004-08-13 07:00 pm (UTC)Perfect timing, it's festival days over here and I didn't even know the olympics started today.
This fact makes me very happy, actually. That I didn't even notice, that is :)

Date: 2004-08-13 11:23 pm (UTC)Unfortunately I missed the glowing kids. :-( I saw teh cube guy, part of the water people, Eros, all the friggin countries marching in, and Bjork's 3 acre dress. That was actually pretty cool.

Date: 2004-08-14 01:04 am (UTC)Furthermore: I missed most of the colourful people pretending to be Greek history and mythology...
I did get goosebumps when that athlete ran through the modern olympics... falling in 1916... 1936 being different then all other... 1940 and 1944 *big pause*...
The order of the countries was based on their Greek names AND according to Greek alphabet. It took me about half an hour to figure that out. I did do Ancient Greek in high school...
