feeling blah

[cornerofmadness]

not sick, not depressed, just bored or something. I can't even really write (well there is this Connor thing that got inspired by Masq's The Destroyer series, except my Connor could use a truck load of zoloft). Haven't really started the job search beyond two resumes and calling my references to see if they still want to be references (of course no one was home).

Yesterday the house threw a fire poker at me. Not kidding, threw it. The fireplace juts out like a thrust stage about a half foot into the living room and about 6 inches high so you can't walk there. The fire irons are on it next to the glass fire screen. To accidentally hit it I would have to swing my arm out almost 90 degrees from my body. As it was I was carrying a glass in one hand and my dinner plate in the other when suddenly the fire iron slam against the glass and the poker comes out of the stand (presumably since I didn't see it move) slammed into my hand with enough force to raise a welt and slides under the futon about a foot away. I really want to know what I did to piss off this house.

Been watching the tapes my friends have sent me. sadly we're missing a huge chunk of Joan of Arcadia (why do I love this show? It always makes me cry) and Smallville. I'm working my way through Enterprise. The two hour opener honestly would have made for the perfect series finale. It's dull enough to be gone (and I do believe this is the last season). I'm anxiously awaiting the new Law and Order and I'm busy trying to figure out why Medium gets such high ratings. This is the worst piece of crap I've seen in years. Arquette has exactly two facial expressions, blank and bitchy. It's a mixed up mess of ideas. The baby keeps disappearing so it looks like they forget she has 3 kids. Her husband's flirting is that of a sexual stalker and she treats everyone like they're total idiots. After the horrible Red Riding hood thing I said I wouldn't watch any more but I did...made it a half hour before finally saying enough's enough. (I mean really, she never calls in when she's not going to get home on time and meanwhile castrates the husband in frnt of the kids for doing the same thing, here's someone you just can't respect. But then again she knows more than everyone around her so her high handed arrogance is acceptable...or something) I'll just have to find a different brain break on monday because this show's such an insult to the intelligence. God I wish I had more than NBC on my tv. I so miss the Simpsons, America's Most Wanted and Without a Trace.

And I wish I had something more important to say. Pbttt. At least the RPG's have been fun. Oh and lifted this from Masq. No surprises here, she was my idol as a kid

You Are the Very Gay Velma!

She might not even realize it... But Velma is all about Daphne ... not Fred!

Right there with you on Medium. I can't stand it because she keeps calling herself "a girl". Who is she kidding? She's a mother, a student, a law clerk, a wife, and she's a girl? Them's not "girl-jobs"; them's woman jobs.

Now, if she were under 15 and still hadn't reached "menarche", then....

I mean, what GUY who's a father, husband, student, law clerk, would call himself "a boy"?

ASAP she said that, I turned it off. Exercised my rights of free speech and whatever....

and, oy! your house? so haunted... light a candle and say a prayer and tell it you love it...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

and I'm surprised by the number of people who think it's great. I could get past the 'girl' stuff if Arquette could muster up a facial expression and quit being such a high handed bitch.

As for this house, I could give it a good smudging but I'm afraid it'll go ala Poltergiest and just cave in on itself

[makd.livejournal.com]

eep! that never occured to me. Poltergeist? Not of the good. Not at all.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

this house would be spiteful that way, I get a feeling.

*shakes head* So didn't expect that one.

Yeah, Medium is getting rave reviews locally as well. I keep shaking my head. Just not seeing it.

The house has hated us since we showed up the first time when I walked out the door to find the handprint on it. I swear, I think that raccoon (or whatever) was trying to rescue us rather than enter the house himself....

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I've had other tiny hand prints on the doors since I've been here. They're probably guardian spirits.

I could see you as Peppermint patty

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

You should take photos of the hand prints when you see them. I'm still kicking myself for not doing that when we were up there the first time.

Speaking of photo ops, I've found a buncha cemeteries around...now, to get the camera loaded for stones.

You can see me as Peppermint Patty? Really?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

good idea. No cool cemeteries here.

well out of the peanuts her more than anyone else

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

There's a Catholic one just across the street from the vet's office where I applied and I found two more while driving around. Most of them are on hills so it makes 'em easy to spot.

Hey, I forgot to tell you I've found the San Fran area of E-ville - it's called "Wright's Hill" and the houses are pretty high in the air. I love it. I wanted the house that has, no lie, at least 40 steps from street to front porch. Of course, carrying groceries up that wouldn't be fun but think of the sledding opportunities!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

sounds like some of the houses in pittsburgh. nice icy steps to murder yourself on

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Didn't think of it that way. Hmmm.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

because you haven't lived in the north long enough

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I was contemplating the fact of having to drive up icy hills and back down them, mind you.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

always exciting in every sense of the word

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

"Exciting". Yeah, that's a gooooood word for it.

Eep! inanimate objects attack! You house makes me think of The Grudge. Burn it, I say, it'll save you a loT of trouble in the future.

I love JOA for so many reasons. It's deep but silly and... I mean, I don't really believe in God, but if I did, JOA's version would totally be it (even though God's a stalker. Don't tell me you didn't think it). Also? Goth!God and that cute cripple guy. And most of the cast doesn't seem like they just stepped out of a Vogue edition, they look normal so that's makes them more real for the viewers =P

Smallville, IMHO, sucks sooo bad. The guy who plays Clark can't act, Lana's boring and oh so annoying, Chloe started nice but went downhill, Pete who?, But the Luthor guys are all right, though I don't believe the writers achieved what they wanted with him.

Never seen Enterprise and man, how many Law and Orders are there? 0_0

Re: Fandom Wank

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I do actuallylike Smallville. I don't think Tom Welling is all that bad of an actor but Lana, no arguments, none, she absolutely awful. I've noticed that with Smallville you either like it or hate it there's very little in between

This will be the fourth Law and Order (fifth if you consider the reality L&O they put on in the summer)

very true, the people on JoA are very normal looking (compared to let's say Smallville), I'm still trying to figure out if Adam is cute or strange looking. Ditto with John Ritter's son. And Joan and Grace, thankfully not stick figures promoting anorexia.

As for God, in spite of the obvious Judeochristian-ness of Joan's God we don't actually see much religion beyond their lapse Catholicism and Grace's rabbi father. During Grace's bas mitzvah I think it was we hear God's speech about how various religions are all right, all ways of relating to him which is rather something I've thought for a long time (though I would hope if there is a god it's a little less passive-agressive and arrogant than the Old Testament god, and thus I seal my one-way trip to hell which would probably interest me more anyhow. I'll know people there.)

[lejlkwiet.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I used to love watching Joan of Arcadia. Have only seen the first season so far though. As for Smallville, the fact that they used Superman as the basis of the story kind of put me off it I think. Don't really know why, as I used to LIKE watching The Adventures of Superman and all those shows.

And yow, your house sounds scary! Maybe it's a Haunting House as opposed to a Haunted one?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I'm slowly working my way thru S2 of Joan (I don't get that station so have to wait on tapes).

A lot of people were dubious about Superman's past being a show. I dunno, I do like it but after a while it's a little TOO teenaged for me.

This house is sort of like Amityville Horror

[lejlkwiet.livejournal.com]

Oh, cool (about the house).

And huh, we hardly get ANY channels which the shows I like. :/ and that was probably what bothered me about the show. Strange, I never felt that way about BtVS. But I guess it isn't really, is it?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Buffy never seemed very teen in spite of the setting to me. Smallville does.

I only get ONE station. Pout.

[lejlkwiet.livejournal.com]

At least I doubt that that one channel is in Italian XD The one English channel we have that shows any of those shows only gets Charmed(and not at a time that I could watch it if i wanted to) and Joan of Arcadia. Oh, and Will & Grace XD Lol, Karen and Jack rule.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I never got into Will & Grace (I'm not a big comedy fan. I pretty much stuck with Frazer and Simpsons)

[rivin142.livejournal.com]

Jinkies! I'm Velma, too! [laugh] She was my favorite anyway. :)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah she was my favorite as well
