cleolindaYesterday's horoscope:
Overview: You're about to amaze even yourself at what tumbles out of your mouth. Just try to go easy on anyone who's less equipped in the verbal department -- which today is just about everyone. [Oh, WHATEVER. Way to get me beaten up and my lunch money stolen, horoscope.]
For the most part, you're pleased, happy and extremely proud of yourself when you say or do something that shocks and amazes the crowds -- in fact, the more, the merrier. So with the stars emphasizing startling modes of communications and playing up your urges to let fly with whatever crosses your mind no matter where you are or who you happen to be with, you ought to be happy. For some reason, though, you're worried. What's up with that?
Okay, so let's ignore the ass-kissing qualities here: Is it not weird that I got this horoscope yesterday of all days?
I love this icon. I don't know why, but the whole idea of "No it's not! I'm totally her dad! Daddy loves you, Christine!" cracks. me. up. Maybe that makes me immodest, but I think that's pretty much how I go about writing these things--I put down things that make me laugh. I can always tell when a parody is turning out bad, because it feels like I'm actually trying to tell you jokes in a very ham-handed, rib-nudging way. This is why I always say that I can't really take credit for the really good ones--I'm just transcribing what's already there, in a way.
Oh, and I've heard from my agent. It looks like I'm going to need to put together a movie sampler tonight, so the Lost recap may not come out until tomorrow. I know, woe. But the last time I put it off a day, it turned out really well, so, you know, everybody wins.

Date: 2005-01-12 04:55 pm (UTC)I luv your icon, too. I saw it days ago, before I read the Phantom m15m, so I had no idea what it was from and it still cracked me up. <33

And you do it so well! ;)
(As I said to my friend Mike halfway through the film, "Somebody has SERIOUS pervie daddy-issues.")

Uh.
Watching you. ^_^)

Date: 2005-01-12 06:50 pm (UTC)Okay, I love that line so much I'm having it put on a t-shirt (along with Daddy Issues Ahoy). Seriously. If only to have people see it and go "Fwah?".

...well, unless they read this. Then their aware of me. Bastards! Always one step ahead! Still, I think I can take on ALW... no like in court where he'll have his millions of lawyers and I'll have... my pretty pretty smile, but if it were one on one fisticuffs TO THE DEATH then I think I'd do okay. (please note that I have been up since 6:30 this morning, thus I am making with the crazy talk)

Date: 2005-01-12 11:38 pm (UTC)So, I was thinking that I would like to help raise money for Christina... do my little part, or more appropriately my fraction of your little part. So I've decided that I would like to make Harry Potter Scarves and sell them for like $15, with all but the cost of yarn (don't know what I'd do about shipping, yet) going as a donation to 4Christina.org. I was curious if a) you knew the best way to set up payment, and 2) would help me get the word around to your own Potter-head fans.

Date: 2005-01-12 11:48 pm (UTC)Then again, I could be full of bullshit, as I often am. It's a lapse especially peculiar to academics everywhere. Whatevah!
I liked "MY PREENING ARM", too.

And on the topic of movies in 15, we've had snow and cold cold weather (unusual for us) for the last week and with all the inappropriately dressed people, all I can say is "The Romans wouldn't let us have sleeves".

Date: 2005-01-13 02:18 am (UTC)I actually haven't seen Phantom of the Opera in the movies yet. And when I saw it at age 7 on stage, I cried and have been afraid of everything ever since, so I'm kind of hoping to squelch that fear by seeing it onscreen.

Okie, that shark that's been circling Lostrailia since 'Solitary?' yeah- they jumped it in a BIG way (for me) tonight. It's turning into a soap opera with all the fake killings!!!! I'll take episodes 1-8 and 11-12 and go, thank ya.
BUT - Did anyone notice 'You All Everybody' playing at the party on Alias? I missed all the dialogue in that scene, but I heard Driveshaft, dammit!
