First off, I'm making a new rule for myself with political posts. I'm lj-cutting everything from now on, even it's only news links. God knows everybody's got a political opinion these days, and considering everybody can pretty much guess what mine is going to be anymore, anybody who doesn't give a damn shouldn't have my excess political opinions cluttering up their friends list. (Especially since I get bitchy and never-ending and nine times out of ten, shove my foot quite firmly into my mouth, but whatever.)

Besides, it's easier for the conservatives to just skip over my political bitching that way. It's not like there are a lot of conservatives on my friends list, and I know a few people who don't want conservatives and/or Republicans to friend them, but my conservative friends have been very well-behaved, like little Republican puppies. (Note: I'm not always this goofy, but see my empty wine cooler bottle? *waves it towards the flist*)

So, yeah. In other news, the ride home on the bus today was punctuated by the skeeviest guy on the planet sitting next to me and promptly forgetting the concept of "personal space". You gotta love a guy who sits next to you, jams his elbow into your hipbone and presses his leg against yours from thigh to ankle. I'm sorry, did I say "love"? I meant "loathe with an unholy passion matched only by my hatred for chocolate Necco wafers." I think he might have been some weird thrill seeker, because if I were a guy, I don't think I would have pulled that shit by sliding in next to the girl sitting across from the back bus door. All it would have taken was one elbow to the ribs on my part and he would have gone rolling into the busiest intersection we flew through.

Today's Fucked-Up Movie Link (and yes, I already knew of this movie, but still): A movie called Gerry featuring only two characters named Gerry who seem to replace random verbs and adjectives with the word "Gerry". If you've ever wondered what would happen to a child raised entirely by Smurfs, now you know.

I also think I broke my brain today, because I was typing my name and accidentally typed it as, "Jennifest". Dear dumbass, your name is not a superlative. Then again, maybe I was thinking more along the lines of a bunch of blond German chicks getting together to get wasted and eat brauts. Hell, I'd qualify for that party.

Oh, yeah. Yesterday, after two boxes of light blond hair dye and because of the dark red dye job I did last time, I now have MJ-in-Spider-Man-2 hair. It's actually not a bad shade.

(Also, if anyone else is into disaster nonfic, The Circus Fire is turning out to be a well-written, excellently researched, fascinating read.)

Ah. I hate those bus guys. I tend to sit in the back of the bus with the would be thugs because you usually get a better set of personal space.

The problem with Gerry is that it was written by Casey Affleck and Matt Damon. No Ben. They were like totally cheating there. No Ben.


If you decide to stop doing the dye yourself, check out Michelle at Salon Salon in old town. She's brilliant with color and only charges $80 for a cut and color. $40 for just the color.

Can't sing her praises highly enough.

Speaking of a broken brain, yesterday I was chatting on Y!M and talking to my mom at the same time. Guess who was typing the same thing as she was speaking for? Took me awhile to figure it out too.

Gerry sounds like that scene in Being John Malkovitch where all anyone can say is "Malkovitch Malkovitch Malkovitch"...

And that comment didn't even make grammatical sense. Time for bed.

So, what did you do to the octopuss?

[tv-elf.livejournal.com]

Oh, cheesetastic movie to review. Volcano. Any show where the set melts? Cool.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Ooo, good one. *adds to list*

Come to think of it, I should probably add Dante's Peak, too, while I'm at it. :)

How odd. Liberals and other suck ilk (I kid with names) can befriend me all they want.

The only rule I have is 'No black helicopter conspiracy theories'. Otherwise, behave, play nice and I'll post pictures of me naked be cool.

That is, conspiracy theories are ok but if you run around my journal proclaiming that Bush will blow up American citizens purely for political gain, I will get angry.

Dante's Peak is perfect. There's just so much BADNESS. Especially anything to do with the Senile Old Bat Grandmother.

Jennifest! Live in concert!

Also: Chocolate Necco wafers? What evil is this?

[azurelunatic]

Yummy.

This was the funnest...er, funniest, Umm, Jennifest? Wow...

Oh, yeah. I adored this entire post. You have an uncanny gift for making everything funny.

as for disaster films to suggest, may I toss in Bonfire of the Vanities?. Oh wait, you want films ABOUT disasters, not films that ARE disasters...

Again, awesome post.

I went to see that movie with a guy who I was friends with - by that point he had decided he wanted to be more than friends.

In the middle of the movie - when the volcano was erupting all over town and people were running for their lives - he turns to me and says, "Has anyone ever told you that you're beautiful?"

*shakes head*

Imagine black sidewalk chalk cut into very thin slivers. It's revolting, but my mother loves them. Blech. *gags*

There's a film on tonight on Cyprus TV. It's called Disaster. I kid you not; that's all there is to the title. A friend of mine, who's a critic, reckons that's also an accurate summary of the plot, casting, script and special effects, individually and collectively. Keep an eye out.

Oooh, just for the scene where they drive through molten lava to rescue the dog! And the truck was able to keep driving without tires! I love that movie.
