Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tales

* This is pretty darned funny:

Go look at your blog/journal. Find the last fandom-related thing you posted. The characters in that post are now your team mates in the Zombie Apocalypse. How fucked are you?

Last thing fandom-ish thing I posted was about Bill Clinton being a brony. Now, I don't watch that My Little Pony show, so I could be really wrong here, but I think I might just be doomed. Though... some of them do magic, right? I wonder if one of them would be strong enough to fly me away? Maybe a couple could carry me on a sling or something?

I'm not counting just mentions of anything that could have a fandom (WoW, movies), only actual fandom-related posts. Huh! Except my mention previous to MLP was actually WoW fandom (fanfic). Varian/Garrosh slash. So... who would be better against zombies, the little cartoon ponies or the leaders of the two WoW factions?

* Amusing typo from some comm on my friendsfriends list:

4) How old are you? Have you had intercourse and/or virginal childbirth?

* TV:
Weeds restarted two weeks ago, and I can't say I'm enjoying this season much. Might just be because I'm watching a half-hour ep once a week instead of watching a whole season in a couple of sittings, but I suspect it's more that they're beating a dead horse.

Dexter season 6 will be starting soon, and I barely touched season 5. After loving previous seasons, I couldn't get into 5 at all. Was it worth watching?

* Michele Bachmann knows 12 things about the world that you don't. Including that Democrats were responsible for swine flu. Almost scarier than her equating gay folks with pedophiles is how she sees her kids ("Her Children's Marriageability" on that link).

* Everyone loves balloons. Except maybe cats.

I need to stop opening my emails from S-E. I wouldn't be so tempted by that darned game if it wasn't always me in the images, looking so realistic and cool...



("FFXI me", anyway.) I can't even get them to stop sending the emails, because you need to log into your something or other S-E account to do so. I should make a mail filter or something...

On WoW, I'm this close to ragequitting, even though that would be both stupid and premature. The HH mount is my favorite in the whole game. Every mount, flying frostdrake one (whatever it's called), raven lord, nope, it's HH's that I want. And this darned holiday... Almost everyone I know got one mount on the first day. I know multiple people who got more than one on the first day. This is day three, I have FIVE 80s to go through the fight with, and I haven't gotten even one mount. Dalaran is crawling with the damned things, and I want to stab every single rider. Still lots of days left, sure, but how could I have NONE when I know almost no one else with none and know many people with two or more? D: /wrist

Vacation is going slowly. I always "learn" this every time I have a vacation: WoW is not a game meant to be played 24/7. I'm bored out of my mind. zzz

Tomorrow is the day with no electricity (SOB!), stupid electric company is turning it off the whole day so they can make repairs. If I was at work, it'd be no issue at all, but since I'm home all day... Sucks to be me. I'm going to go out and see a movie, even though there's nothing in the theaters I want to see. Then I suppose I'll shop or something. zzz

Movies-at-home wise, I've not been doing well. I tried a bunch of them, everything from Ponyo to Year One (oh god, shoot me now) and couldn't find anything I could even get through. Then, semi-at random, I checked out the Showtime series Weeds. Eeee, a match! I wouldn't have thought I'd like a show about selling pot in the suburbs, but the characters are really interesting! I watched the first four eps today, and have seven seasons ahead! :D

I'm certainly getting my money's worth from Netflix this week!
