Poetry Tulip has vanished

[cleolinda]

I just burst into tears for the stupidest reason ever. I'll just be over here getting a grip on reality, thanks.

(Okay, because you're going to ask: My parents are downstairs watching the Pirates 2 DVD without telling me. No, that's not the problem. The problem is that I was saving that for my birthday next week, which is probably why they didn't tell me. Except that I'm always treated to the soundtrack of whatever they're watching on TV [which usually involves a lot of gunshots and Jack Bauer DAMMIT!ing], so good luck hiding that. Are they watching my copy? I honestly don't know. The appropriate reaction would be more along the lines of an eyeroll and "Oh, my silly mother and her silly Captain Jack obsession," not a sobfest. I think I'm just stressed out from my sister's constant shenanigans, of which there were more this evening.)

On the upside, jstilwe from Snarkfest sent me a bottle of Siren (mmm, Siren) and an imp of Clio (hee), and tenebris sent me a bottle of Glitter and Dracula samples! And I still managed to burst into tears after this embarrassment of riches, which should tell you how hormonal I must be right now.


Feds: Man planned to blow up Ill. mall.

Foley panel: GOP didn't protect pages.

Jose Uribe killed in car crash.

Poll: 'IM-ing' divides teens, adults.

Speak up, sir...You need the extra small condoms?

Ariz. waitresses dress as naughty nurses. Point the first: "The Heart Attack Grill opened a year ago with a Hooters-like formula of red meat and sexy waitresses. Diners choose from among four cheeseburgers: the Single, Double, Triple and Quadruple Bypass. The Quadruple is a towering monstrosity with four half-pound beef patties, four pieces of cheese and a mound of bacon." Point the second: "'Nurses are the most sexually fantasized-about profession,' said Sandy Summers, executive director of the Center for Nursing Advocacy, based in Baltimore. 'We're asking people, if they're going to have these fantasies, please don't make it so public. Move these sexual fantasies to other professions.'" Point the third: What's really creepy is the guy openly leering in the accompanying picture.

Georgia erases 519 places off the map. "Poetry Tulip has vanished. So have Between and Climax. Cloudland and Roosterville are gone, too."

akathorne: Connie Nielsen and Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich expecting first child together.. No, I'm not sure how that happened either.

Wesley Snipes turns himself in; Snipes pleads not guilty in tax case.

Two new Pirates 3 pics. Yes, real ones.

Alan Rickman and Anthony Head confirmed for Sweeney Todd.

South London squirrels after different kind of stash. "There might be crack foxes around too. Cats always go for hash."

Shucks. And here I thought menfolks from the Middle Easten area were supposed to be exceptionally well-hung, as a rule, and yes I know it's obviously a stereotype and I've read too many sheik-based romance novels.
Durr. Sheiks. Mmm.

I imagine people with muzzled, leashed squirrels wandering London like truffle-hunters ..

Aw honey, you wouldnt believe what I burst into tears over.

And it's driving me mad not knowing who ASH is playing in Todd - Pirelli maybe?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

We think maybe the Beadle--Sacha Baron Cohen's playing Pirelli for sure.

Keira is wearing the worst thing ever

I kind of like it, myself.

No, I have to agree with you. Since when is Elizabeth Swann a blond?

...although I have to admit, Geoffrey Chaucer's coat = serious love.

Geoffrey Chaucer?

[oldfeatheryhat.livejournal.com]

...*Geoffrey Rush.

damn, I've been in Brit Lit too long.

I always cry about stupid things on/around my birthday. I think it's something about birthdays, wanting it all to be perfect or something...

"Connie Nielsen and Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich expecting first child together.." No, I'm not sure how that happened either.

Um, Cleo, it might be time to sit down with your mother and ask her a few questions...

Man, I thought I was over the Brokeback Whatever, but Brokeback Goblet is pure gold.

Also, I've seen 10 Things I Hate About the Commandments trailer 50 times over, but it never gets boring. I love it.

The towns taken off the map kind of makes me sad.

And the burger place EW EW EW. If I showed this to my mom, I suspect she'd just laugh her ass off. She's a nurse and will gladly tell you that being elbow-deep in various body fluids is the least sexy thing going.

(Hope you're feeling better.)

I had someone send me the link for the Georgia towns, and while I was sad to see some of them go (one of them being right next to where my family is moving). But i wasn't pissed about it.

Then i read your linkspam and see that they took Between away, and THEN i got mad. Because that was one of the dorky things we would joke about on drives from the University of Georgia to Atlanta "Where are you?" "In Between" "In between what?" "Between!"

But I think they put Between back on the map, because its no longer on the axed-towns list :)

::pat pat pat::

It's okay. I once nearly broke down in tears because I thought my mom was being overly cavalier with a pair of shoes I had loaned her, so I am right there with you on the crying-for-ridiculous reasons front.
