No Ringie-Dingie During "Mad TV" etc.....

tinhuvielAn hour into my 8 hours of horror and I'm being harassed by idiots. So I'm checking out one of my faves, Mad TV, to help me smile a little. So far I haven't seen Michael McDonald, though, so that is more than a little disappointing. He's hilarious and gorgeous.....and woefully absent. Did he leave when Mo Collins left? If so....damn!
One thing I didn't need to see: an advert for the remake of Dawn of the Dead. I really want to see the movie, but not this late at night, not even a movie trailer! Steph and I are planning to going to see the movie next weekend. bugga bugga! Zombies creep me out, but that doesn't stop me from watching zombie movies. Honestly, I can't even look in the mirror right now because I currently look (and feel) like a zombie. Yes, indeedy, the walking dead is answering your calls tonight, freaks, so be aware!
Earlier today, Aunt Tudi and I went to the G-town and Sparkle City. We had folks with whom to interact and items to purchase. I got my house coat for the hospital. Seems you need acoutrements like that when going in for a stay. Since I'm a bit of a naturalist when it comes to bedtime, I don't own things like that. I figure I can use their gowns and wear the housecoat to cover my bum when I'm toodling down the hall.
Why in the HELL would anyone want to watch Fear Factor, much less be a contestant? It's a sick world and I am weary of it. Somedays, I'd rather go live in a cave by the sea and cavort with naught but demons, much like the Hebrew Patriarchal version of Lilith. Yeah, I'd hang out by the sea and sleep on a fur rug, but would venture out occasionally to terrorise children and give men wet dreams. Life wouldn't be much different from what it is now, except I wouldn't have to endure things like Fear Factor, Wal-Mart, or Dubya.
**********************************************************************
It's going on 1 a.m. now and I'm now half-watching Saturday Night Live. It's almost time to pop in one of the movies I rented. I think I'll start with Shadow of the Vampire. Now, I've seen most of this movie once before and loved it. Willem Dafoe is perfect as Max Schreck. Aunt Felice thinks Willem is da shiznit, but I beg to differ. He's butt ugly, which really helps in his portrayal of the ratty Nosferatu, but he does a fine job in this film. Eddie Izzard is also in the movie, which simply tickles me pink (and that's hard to do). Afterward, I have The Mists of Avalon and There's Something about Mary.
Jesus Christ on roller skates, am I bored! It's at times like this that I'm tempted to succumb to the yearly urge to don ugly green duds and get piss drunk on Saint Paddy's Day. Why any decent Celt would want to celebrate this bastard is beyond me, but I'm not the brightest bulb, so maybe I will get piss drunk this year. Personally, I think that St. Brigit's Day (aka Brigantia, aka Candlemas, ask IMBOLC) would be a bit more fitting to celebrate the Irish Celtic Spirit. That's just my biased Pagan opinion.
**********************************************************************
Well well well, it's now going on 2 a.m. and I'm about to engage in the viewing of Shadow of the Vampire. G called me and it looks like we're having dinner with him and N on Tuesday. That's Llew's birthday, so the dinner can double as his birthday celebratory meal. Nice!
So far it's been busier tonight than it was last night, which is quite a change from the norm. I wish these people would leave me in peace.
Five and a half hours and counting til I can go home and pass out.

And I'm glad someone else has exactly my response to St Putrid's day. Shall we co-opt it (like they did all of ours) and give it another name? Druid's Day? It's almost a shame Lugh already has a day -- we could name it in honour of your Llew's birthday!!
Dawn of the Dead

Date: 2004-03-16 04:12 am (UTC)You do realise that this comment ~~ he really got cute after losing 100 pounds ~~ is a perfect example of the proverb, "Name not a rope in the house of a man that was hanged" right?
Dude......
Not sure if you read my rant about such comments and the society that encourages them, but maybe you should before making anymore weight comment here. It'll save us both a whole mess of a grief.

As for Will, I've always thought he was cute as a button, no matter his size. And he's Canadian, which makes it even sweeter.

Date: 2004-03-16 10:56 am (UTC)If you want to fall into societal traps and consider yourself less of a person because there's more of you, and think that thinner=better-looking, I support your choice, but not in my personal space.
Another societal trap a lot of people fall into is the idea that AIDS is punishment from god. How would you feel if someone told you that Freddie Mercury got what he deserved, then stressed that the comment was directed *at* Freddie Mercury and not you, so you shouldn't be offended at all? Hell, if something like that happened and I was anywhere around, I'd kick that person's ass for you.
Obesity is the last accepted target for abuse and discrimination in this society, mainly because innocent comments like yours are overlooked and obese people are encouraged to swallow their anger and their pride, and ignore it.
I have been unable to do that for a very long time, and it's only going to get worse these next few months as I ease into activist mode. I responded to your innocent remarks because I wanted you to really look at what you said. How do you think Will Sasso would feel about it? He might say thanks, but on the inside he'd probably take it as veiled insult, and well he should.
