A very parenthetical mood

[cleolinda]

Aw! An anonymouse sent me virtual milk and cookies. And did I need them today. Today has not been a good day. Although y'all were a life-saver with my POTO question--what I wanted to do for the annotations was take my favorite chapter (the one where Christine sits Raoul down and tells him, in flashback, the scenes that basically make up "Phantom of the Opera" and "Music of the Night," but in a vastly different tone. In the book, it is blood-curdling) and footnote that as well. You know, as a bonus feature. And since the novel's in the public domain, I can legally do it. And I got all of that out of the way today, amazingly. So at least that was productive.

I'm kind of not having a very good day other than that, though. Like, nauseated with tension. That kind of thing.

By the way, yes, here is the Twilight Script reimagined from MSN. I love y'all, but please stop sending it to me. (I know, I know. I'm sorry. I'm just sick with anxiety, is all.)

(Yes, I saw 'Twilight' actor open to 'Doctor Who' role, which basically translates to, "Hey, you're British! Would you ever play the Doctor?" "I LOVE DOCTOR WHO!" Aw.)

(This is the best thing ever. Just watch it. "Are we still getting married this Friday?")

(Oh God, the seven-year-old girl story is so much more horrifying the way he tells it himself.)

(Ever wondered what "Run, Bella, Run (Stay, Bella, Stay)" would sound like? Now you know, courtesy of ftsor.)

Yurei Urie is the artist behind the unsettling Little Apple Dolls. They all have big dark eyes, no mouth, and carry an apple. Stores are chronically out of stock, but you can find some editions at Amazon.

Bella Swann, is that you?

I read the link about Robert Pattinson maybe being the next Doctor Who, and now I'm scared. Sorry to any Twilight fans out there, but, um, no! Again, sorry, but I don't think he's very good-looking, and adding Twilight fans to the Doctor Who fans would be a Bad Idea. Not to mention, I personally would boycott the show until they switched actors again. (I'd still watch the ones with David Tennant, though... ;) ).
Sorry if I offended anybody... but, then, if I did, I'm not real sure I care... (NOT a Twilight fan...)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I don't think it's a possibility in any way. It was just a random, unfounded question to ask him.

[poinsley.livejournal.com]

Does the Full Moon Really Make People Crazy?

It totally does. I see it each month in the middle schools where I teach. I dread them.

[kopernik.livejournal.com]

SO EXCITED about the Hero series and that Showtime's got it! Oh, I hope it makes it to air and that it won't suck. Eeeee!

[meleth.livejournal.com]

You think he'd stay in college, or be a street kid. It'd be way cooler. But I think the whole concept of it is: He's like an addict. I think he wants to make his life really, really, really boring.

Oh, RPattz.

[kismeteve.livejournal.com]

I actually read the Gaston Leroux novel in junior high and I remember looking at the teacher who assigned it and thinking "Lady, this book is sick."

Hearing that Australia is still not finished does not inspire any confidence.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

"Lady, this book is sick."

Yeah... this one and Wuthering Heights.

Def. nothing like 'The Scarlet Letter'.

GUILLERMO PINOCCHIO MOVIE WHAT WHY WASN'T I INFORMED OMG THAT COULD LOOK SO STUPIDLY GOOD AAAAAH *designgasms*

I feel slightly ashamed that I'm commenting on that and not the utter amazing sensation that is a potential cure for AIDs. WHAT. OMG. PLEASE BE FEASIBLE AND REPEATABLE. HOW MANY AMAZING THINGS WILL I BE SEEING IN MY LIFETIME?

(If the Mars Phoenix rover restores contact with Mission Control after the Martian winter ends in 2010, I will flip my shit in joy.)

[gannet-guts.livejournal.com]

I have never gotten the RPattz thing before, and still kinda don't, but that interview was adorable.

[robinmc.livejournal.com]

That interviewer is about thisclose to squealing and going all fangirl on him.

[robinmc.livejournal.com]

the one where Christine sits Raoul down and tells him, in flashback, the scenes that basically make up "Phantom of the Opera" and "Music of the Night," but in a vastly different tone. In the book, it is blood-curdling

That is my absolute favorite part of the book. I can't read it at night, it makes me scared to go to sleep.

"In the context of the story he starts off as one thing, becomes the guise of another and then has to retire to the forest to resume his name Robin," [Scott] explained. "So he was momentarily the Sheriff of Nottingham."

So...are people going to be standing around going "where's the Sheriff? He was supposed to be here" and then he'll run in going "sorry I'm late, what'd I miss?" and they'll be like "no problem, hey where did you get those green tights?" Is he saying that the Sheriff of Nottingham is the Clark Kent to Robin Hood's Superman?

Also: I now have Run Bella Run stuck in my head.

Also also: Doctors say marrow transplant may have cured AIDS. Fingers and toes crossed.

Neil Patrick Harris > SMeyer. For reals.

Also, if they continue to tantalize me with AD movie news and it doesn't happen, my analrapist and I will have a lot to talk about.

that accesshollywood video is so uncomfortable. it makes me mad that while he's describing this extremely creepy 7 year old, she's laughing like its adorable and not ~staring in horror~

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that bothered me too. I was like, are you just laughing at everything he says because you think he's hot and you're trying to flirt or something? What he just told you was HORRIFYING, HELLO.

Does the Full Moon Really Make People Crazy?

Public librarian sez "yes." It's time to pack up the crazy and move it somewhere else people, for real.

[miss-eponine.livejournal.com]

Seconded. The crazies come out full force at the library during the full moon.

[androbard1364.livejournal.com]

I just have to tell you this. It is too insane.

My school is having a raffle held where if you check out a book you get entered to win a ticket to the movie or something... >.> Like people should need a motivation to check out books. Especially Twilight! Grrrr

Oh, and I don't watch Doctor Who, I've only seen one episode, but David Tennant > RPatzz any day :P

I'm tired and I'm going to bed now :) Hopefully I can survive another bout of Twilight mania at my school tomorrow... wish me luck! Esp. for next Friday when the movie comes out!

The cure for AIDS thing only works if you don't mind killing a whole bunch of your patients (30% death rate from the surgery alone). Also, since those that survive would have to be on immune suppressant drugs, they would be immune-compromised - just like AIDS! As AIDS is becoming more of a chronic disease, manageable in the long term, "cures" like this would be incredibly risky for little to no gain. Essentially a person would be AIDS-free but not be any better off, and possibly dead much sooner.

In conclusion, bad idea jeans.

Yup, Dewey.

I don't, maybe it's because I read about the possible AIDs cure earlier today and have digested it, or maybe I'm just a bad person - because the LOLCat made me smile the most in the linkspam.

Hah! With Muse playing in the background! Very meta, Cleolinda, very meta.

Somewhere, deep in the wilds of Arizona, SMeyer is rolling around in ecstasy.

Re: Watchmen Trailer

I like to think that the Muse guys were just like, "Please, get us associated with another movie. Any other movie. Preferably something awesome. Please?"

OH GOD SEND HELP. RPatzz and Kristen whateverhernameis are going to be at the mall around the corner from my house tomorrow. Literally, I can see the mall from my roof help send help!

Oh good Lord.

(You know, I'm a little worried. I haven't heard A WORD about Philadelphia tonight yet. Usually by this time of night we're hearing about riots.)

[brainchild129.livejournal.com]

I can't say I'm upset over the shunning of The Dark Knight score for Oscar consideration. Most of what I heard were reused themes from the first one, and I'm sorry, but holding an atonal note for all eternity is not a theme. That's just lazy.

I love the film as much as anyone else, but both the Burton ones and even the Schumacher ones beat it in the musical score department.
