a bit off topic, but ...

Finally seeing _V_ (on cable) and rereading your _V_ parody (which made more sense this time) inspired me to get my first new icon in ages.

[eyemage.livejournal.com]

at last the promised one has returned!

all hail the mighty pen of the cleolinda!

huzzah!

[lacrimaeveneris.livejournal.com]

Aha! I knew it was 300.

Also, yay!

[lacrimaeveneris.livejournal.com]

nice icon ::wink::

[christwise.livejournal.com]

EEEEEE!

Time to read it now!

Yes, the freakout came first.

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

Aw, dammit! I still haven't seen that!

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

I thought maybe it could be Grindhouse.

That might take 30 minutes, though.

[kvschwartz.livejournal.com]

Alas, I have not seen _300_, so I will not get your jokes. (Not that I got all your jokes even in your book.) The only "recent" movies I've seen are _An Inconvenient Truth_ and _Tsotsi_.

Anyway ... I want to link to m15m on my profile page, but I wanted to check with you first to make sure it's okay. I don't want to take CREDIT for anything, I just want to include it among the websites I, uh, "promote," for lack of a better word.

I look forward to reading _300 in 15_ (that's 20, right?) even though I won't understand it.

Woot! *goes off to read*

By the way, your book has a new title? And cover (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/images/0575079894/qid=1122743553/ref=dp_image_0/203-8201932-7679120?ie=UTF8&n=266239&s=books&qid=1122743553)? What's up with that?

[elendiari22.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen 300, but this was hilarious any way. Alas, poor Faramir. :)

[polly-moopers.livejournal.com]

Hooray! I sat in that movie with only one thought on my mind: Cleo is going to enjoy this

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

My understanding is that that's the paperback edition--which I wasn't consulted about, btw. I mean, other than the fact of there being one, which is good and in the contract and everything.

[particle-person.livejournal.com]

Ah hah. I wasn't objecting or anything, by the way. Just curious. Also, congrats that it made paperback, unless you mean that the contract stated from the beginning that there had to be paperback.

[meandstuff.livejournal.com]

Icon love!!!

[elendiari22.livejournal.com]

Thanks! sadisticgrin made it, so credit her if you take it. :)

[metonymy.livejournal.com]

OMG SO GOOOOOOOOOOOD. It is the rare internets funny that makes me truly laugh out loud; this had me wheezing and cackling because it was so damn good. Can I have your babies, plz?

[jenni-talula.livejournal.com]

OMG icon love!

[frodosgoosegirl.livejournal.com]

Oh good, I am so glad I was not the only one who saw lotr throughout that whole movie. I saw it with some friends who were no lotr fans and they just didn't get it when afterwards I ranted about how 300 just ripped off lotr what with Faramir and the Oliphaunts and basically everything. You are a girl after my own heart Cleo. Brilliant.

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

My first sighting of a Sports Night icon.
I less than three you.

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

I never saw it when it aired, but it lives on in DVD form!

[laurelin-kit.livejournal.com]

Rock. That was awesome.

Loved the book!

[rinabeana.livejournal.com]

Yay! I finally got your book (http://rinabeana.livejournal.com/410586.html)! I was in England visiting friends, so I made sure to order a copy from Waterstone's for pick-up. I had every intention of taking a picture of the book on the shelf for you, but I couldn't find any in the store, so I just settled for enjoying my very own copy. It's fantastic!

[derangeddarling.livejournal.com]

me too, me too!
*loves*

[notashamed.livejournal.com]

*flails*

[jldecker.livejournal.com]

And for that, I offer this:



Which I first found a few nights ago and have been whoring out to all and sundry since. Yay!go me!

[edda.livejournal.com]

Seriously, that's like half the reason I go anymore. I sit there and predict the jokes. If I could remember to write them down, I'd start a betting pool.

[edda.livejournal.com]

DAMMIT WOMAN, STOP MAKING ME WIDDLE ON MYSELF LAUGHING!

*cleans up*

Heeeeeeeeeeee.

Mercy, plz.

[softlythesong.livejournal.com]

*Snorts*

FARAMIR: What are we fighting for?

SOME MACEDONIAN: Freedommmm?

SOME MYCENAEAN: Middle-Earth?

SOME CORINTHIAN: Scotland?

SOME ATHENIAN: A unique democracy that will give birth to the future Western Civilization?

Seriously: the old classics teacher would have just loved this, I can't tell you.

Oh Wow.

[7tree-hugger.livejournal.com]

Can I make you a present of this little internet I had put away for a later date?

Re: Oh Wow.

[jldecker.livejournal.com]

^-^ I suppose so, although I'd feel unworthy since I didn't make the thing-- just found it. LOL

[sharpenedyaks.livejournal.com]

Yay!!!!! I haven't seen it yet and it's still hilarious :)

[yarha.livejournal.com]

Hee! Hysterical.

Yarha, Weirdly Amused by *BOOT*

[ysathora.livejournal.com]

Yes! Thank you. I can't wait to read it.

[promise19.livejournal.com]

I saw that, too! Makes me hope they (whoever created) will do a full version of the song when the DVD comes out. it's absolutely perfect!

[lauramcvey.livejournal.com]

Eee! Another mfm!
*glomps cleo*
*reads*

[greenleafgurl17.livejournal.com]

What makes this bad is that when I actually see this movie, all I will be able to think of is the 15m version.

[greyduck.livejournal.com]

As usual, it makes me sort of wish I wanted to see '300' so I could get more of the jokes. Still, I laughed good and long most of the way through thanks to the fact that pretty much the entire movie is an Internet meme now. *wry grin*

Also! I wasn't in a big hurry to get an Amazon-UK account, but a friend noted that Powell's was able to get its hands on some copies of THE BOOK for order through their website. They supposedly had 2 left by the time I ordered mine... =)

[confusedmuchly.livejournal.com]

That was the most fun I have ever had being completely confused.

Seriously, I only vaguely know the whole Sparta legend/story/thing. All I remember my history teacher saying about Spartans is "Spartans*mumblemumble*foughtpeople*mumblemumble*killedbabies*mumble*mumble*BUTTSEKS."

Curse youuu, Catholic School Systeeeem!!

[colean.livejournal.com]

Hooray! I will be reading this during my Computer Architecture class! Happy Happy Happy :) Thank you Cleo!
