I have done absolutely nothing all day. That includes 1) things I have to do and 2) things I often do to procrastinate. I haven't even procrastinated correctly!

I have, however, gone a shade stir-crazy with intermittant tears. Which makes me think fondly of [livejournal.com profile] katarinagram, who said in her email, "It's so funny how we never have big cries but then unexpectedly break down while cutting carrots."

I've tried calling significant others (that means *you* and *you*, dear [livejournal.com profile] katarinagram and [livejournal.com profile] poisoned_sleep) but alas, no luck.

So that you can have an idea of what my day(s) have been like, Eragon's on cable, and I've had it playing pretty much non-stop as background noise. (Except, of course, when I a) taunt in mercilessles or b) appreciate darling JIrons and RCarlyle.)

I was going to make Durza-icons, but my computer hiccuped and had to be restarted, meaning I lost all my crops and can't be bothered to redo them right now.

I took a break from the putrescent pile of plaigiarism by watching Trainspotting, mainly to oogle at Carlyle's acting, because that is one seriously fucked up character he plays.

And while we're on the subject of actors, I'm developing a list of "Stamp of Approval" actors. This means that if these actors feature in the film, I'll seriously consider watching it on solely that basis. Because, even if the movie sucks (e.g. Eragorn, Klimt), there's always the oogleing of acting ability that can pull you through.

So far, there's JMalcovich, RCarlyle, JIrons, LDiCaprio (the mature version of him, that is), JDepp... There's probably more that my disintigrating panic-rat of a brain ain't quite remembering. Suggestions for the Stamp of Approval list are welcome.

Also, on the list subject, I ought to make a list of the characters that have captured my immagination in the "current object of obsession" sort of deal. Apparently, I'm mainly about the psychological oddities. And psychoes. These include Durza (Eragon), Sands (Once Upon a Time in Mexico) and a lot more but I'm all tuckered out what with not doing anything and it being late so, g'night.

Gaimanism of the Day

"And then Matt [Groening] and I [at Comic-Con] had the conversation about stuff and at some point in there I mentioned casually that, no, I didn't want to cameo on the Simpsons, but as I once pointed out here, I really really really would love to be a head in a jar on Futurama.

And he said that this could be arranged.

I gloat. Hear me."

Meme of the Day: c/o/ [livejournal.com profile] meaningofliff

What American accent do you have?
Created by Xavier on Memegen.net

Eastern New England. Whether or not you pronounce r's, you have the sound of Boston, New Hampshire, and Maine about you. You do think "don" sounds like "dawn" even though the people down in New York City don't.

Take this quiz now - it's easy!
We're going to start with "cot" and "caught." When you say those words do they sound the same or different?






Links of the Day:

RCarlyle says he'll quite the film industry in 5 years. He better as hell give those last five years his all, if this is true. *curses* but *understands* but *curses*
