Got a Review of the Yes Minister Special, 'Party Games' over on the otherside.What am I listening to?: Lee Ritenour - White Christmas |
|
I would just like to point out that this is one of my favorite captions for a screencap that I've ever done.
"I love you, Pumpkin."
"I love you, Honey Bunny. All right, everybody be cool, this is a robbery!"
It's from my Miracle on 34th Street review that I posted today and it keeps breaking me up every time I see it. I like the idea of Tim Roth playing Kris Kringle. |

Squee! I got snowflake cookie v-gifts
Which I feel I should roll my eyes at and go "Oh, come on!" but they're too cool to be cynical about right now.
I feel all loved and stuff.What am I listening to?: BBC Radio 5 live - Kermode: Me and Orson Welles, The Box, The Descent 2, 04 Dec 09 |

Dear 2009,
Hell has come
High water has come
Death, destruction, and the end of the world
And yet, I remain standing.
I am going to cook those fucking turduckens.
Yeah, TurduckenS
PLURAL!
Nothing can stop this now.
I will keep calm and I will carry on.
I've dealt with pretty much everything in and around your borders
Dying relatives, new kittens, flooded houses, and more bullshit than I care to relate.
The Sick, The Elderly, the stupid and the strong
The good, the bad, the ugly and the adorable
I've dealt with a guy driving with the ghost of Adolph Hitler riding next to him.
I've dealt with a riveter who wants to fist someone up to the elbow.
And yet, here I stand.
My lights are still on.
As I said they would be.
I said you wouldn't be able to crush my VEWPRF spirit
and you can't.
I've got this bell, it rings.
I've got these candles, they chase away the dark
I've got this bloody-minded sense of determination, it starts to get a little bit scary after a while
My point is, you won't sink this holiday.
You can go die in a fire 2009
You can go to hell
You can fuck right the fucking fuck off... fucker.Feeling:  determined What am I listening to?: Kevin Bloody Wilson - Ho Ho Fucking Ho |

Feeling: determined What am I listening to?: Queen - Under Pressure |

We've got Santa Claus Conquers the Martians playing on the other side.
And yes, it is playing, the embedded video is at the bottom.
EDIT: Not autoplaying or anything, I hate autoplay. But if you click, you can watch.

I did some vacuuming, sneezed a lot, took a bath, and now I feel worse than I did when I started. About half way through the bath I started thinking I was done for the day. I couldn't even manage to finish washing my hair or anything. I took some dayquill, or the generic equivilent anyway, and now I think I'll park in front of the TV and try not to throw up or sneeze too much or anything.
later.

Someone asked, so here it is.
I could use some new headphones and some new ear buds.
Ear buds could be basic, just something to stick in the ipod and shove in my ears. The head phones could be something like this, which are more or less what I have now and are starting to die.
Also, if you're so inclined, I have Amazon and Amazon UK wishlists. So there's that.

From my Dear GreyWeirdo column
HEY! I got an Agony Aunt letter today! Many of you may not know this, but I’ve been a professional problem solver for years. I also answer people’s letters and give them advice as well. Let’s open it up and see what we’ve got.
Question:
Dear Weirdo,
This year has sucked some major balls. Nothing has gone right, there are maybe six people left alive and five of them are so heavily in debt to the sixth they may never see solvency again. Half the people I know spent the entire summer sick, the other half are just getting sick now. I just feel like I can’t go on anymore. I don’t even think I can muster up the energy to care about the holidays. I just can’t feel good anymore. Is there anything I can do, or should I just pack the whole thing in? Should I even bother with my VEWPRF cards? Is it the end of VEWPRF? Is it time to give up?
Desperate in Detroit
Well crap, sounds like someone else is trying to give up.
Dear Desperate,
No. No, this will not do. This is the shit, up with which, I will not put! This is not the end of VEWPRF! This is not even the beginning of the end, but it IS the end of the beginning. Only it isn’t, ‘cause I’m just getting started. Hang on, something wrong there. You just hold on Desperate, I’ll be back in a sec…
The ex-smokers and non-smokers among you will understand if I fake-light a candy cigarette before I begin. There are some things which are traditional at a moments like these.
Gather round my minions, it’s time we had a little chat about all the people who are feeling like poor old Desperate here. There are a lot of people who are worried, they’re scared, some of them are down right despondent. These are, quite frankly, the people who the holidays were designed for. Not for you, people who are well adjusted. It’s not a frame for your grandmother to hang her latest performance art piece about passive aggression on. It’s sure as fuck isn’t for those controlling assholes who think they should get to dictate what does and doesn’t make the holidays what they are. It’s for people like Desperate here.
Everyone depends on the VEWPRF season to pick them up after a really shitty year. It’s a release valve, a stress-relieving tool. There are people out there who really need a pick-me-up.
We can’t quit now!
Would Chuck Norris cut and run away, ceding from the country just because he didn’t like the way… okay bad example. I know! Did John Wayne just hide out in Hollywood and keep making cowboy movies during World War Two? Quick check of wikipeidia says… yes, yes he did.
fuck
JACK BENNY!
What did limp wristed, anti-racists, philanthropic, liberal old Jack Benny do when his nation was threatened? Joined the Navy and served with pride. When the co-star to his anti-Nazi movie died suddenly, did he cut everyone off and run away? FUCK NO! He went back to work, did some time with the USO and then flew to Germany on his own dime to personally punch Hitler in the crotch! What I am asking for, from you, is the spirit of Jack Benny. ...you’ll understand you won’t be paid for this of course, times are tough and all.
There will now follow a series of adapted phrases I’ve found from those chaotic movie scenes, the sort often found in disaster of crisis movies.
In these dark times, when the cold is sweeping in and the barbarians are at the gate, we have to hold on and work together to pull ourselves out. The banks may have foreclosed the mortgage, the insurance company may have pulled the plug on grandma, the corporations may have slashed your salary to the bone and then beyond, BUT THEY WON’T TAKE THIS HOLIDAY! We’ve got to stand up and bring the true spirit of the season* back to the people! We will light those fucking strings of light. We will light them on the beaches, we shall light them on the trees, we shall light them in the fields and in the streets, we shall light them in the hills; we shall never surrender. We’ve never lost a holiday yet, and we’re not about to start now! I’ve got… 300 people on this… ship that I am… responsible for… and I… won’t let them down. I intend to stand up, I intend to look that dark and cold winter in the eye and I intend to ring these fucking bells until he runs scared and the sun returns! I have, if you will allow me to say, had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane! (Kindly imagine Brian Blessed speaking if you can at this moment) WE’RE GOING TO HAND THEM THE HAPPIEST VAGUE EARLY WINTER POSSIBLY RELIGIOUS FESTIVAL THEY’VE EVER SEEN! YEEEEEAAAAAARRHH!
*Mainly drinking and fucking, with some gifts, songs, lights and bells for good measure.
So let’s MOVE IT PEOPLE!
YOU! Get me a copy of every holiday story Amazon has, I want it cross referenced and collated by how damn twee it is. Throw out any Gift of the Magi stories though, I hate those.
YOU! Get me a big fat evergreen tree. I want this place reeking of pine.
YOU! Get me a thousand twinkling lights and glass baubles. I want this place dripping with decorations. Spare neither expense nor good taste.
YOU! Cook a turkey or something. It’s feast time, that’s where the word ‘festival’ comes from. (just go with it)
YOU! I want paper chains and construction paper snowmen. Get the kids to make some of those fold up snowflakes too while you’re at it.
YOU! Find Mannheim Steamroller and tell them that while we understand they’ve done other things, we need them to do the thing they do right.
YOU! Get me a copy of every special that plays on either broadcast or cable TV during December. I want movies, cartoons, and crappy specials you’d never watch under other conditions. I don’t care if it’s the Star Wars Holiday special, just run it.
YOU! Get some carolers! I want people with NO ability to sing whatsoever.
YOU! Bake some cookies! I like the frosted ones with the little silver balls.
YOU! Dress up in a red suit and tell gullible children you’re Santa. If they balk, tell them you’re one of his helpers.
YOU! Find out what cultures we’re ignoring so we can get their celebrations on board as well! This is not A holiday, this is ALL holidays!
YOU! Light a menorah, burn some incense on it, milk a goat, give the milk to a new born infant, kill the goat in the name of a few gods, then eat the goat! There will be other observances later, but just get started on those for now. I’ll get you a team to help out with the rest.
YOU! Put the kettle on. We need some hot drinks inside us!
And I’ll form the head!
Well?
Come on people, we’ve got a holiday to save. We’re not going to leave anyone out in the cold this time. Get the snowmen built, get the food going, get me Ted Striker Charles Dickens, get the songs started and GET THOSE LIGHTS BACK ON!
I hope this answers your questions Desperate. If not, just try to hold on, we’re working this bitch as hard as we can. Start with this, listen to an episode every day, that should help. To add extra help, I’ll be posting an Advent Calendar from now until the end. You’ll have a new surprise everyday, something different under every door. I’ll be doing this for you. Like Harry Tuttle said, “We’re all in this together.”
…
Looks like I picked the wrong month to stop snorting peppermint.
