    Evil League of Evil

    So, you've seen Dr. Horrible by now, right? RIGHT? It's available free on Hulu! Here's a 20-second clip I selected to show you how awesome it is:



    Anyway, this link has some Evil League of Evil applications seeking consideration to be on the DVD when it comes out. I stumbled across that information from reading a friend's blog, who happens to have created the second entry mentioned in the link. So, you can imagine how surprised I was to click on the aforementioned link and realize that I ALSO once upon a time knew the writer and star of the FIRST one mentioned! Is anyone else out there holding out on me?

    Cool.

    Dreams

    Last night I had a dream that went on for quite some time (I think). First, a bunch of APT people were standing around backstage at an indoor theater waiting to go out and take a company bow, and I, realizing that I was about 4 months pregnant, decided to refer to my belly during the bow Tracy Arnold-style so that the baby could be acknowledged as well.

    Then we were at some sort of function, sitting at tables, and I was sitting with (my boyfriend?) the father of the baby, who was Dean from Gilmore Girls, who I've never really liked. In real life he was Dean, not in the dream life.

    And I had to climb 4 flights of stairs and at some point I thought of Kelly Tallman climbing all those stairs in the Powerhouse while we were doing A Flea in Her Ear... And then she was there and commiserating with me for a minute.

    Then we were at someone's house, and out the large window I saw several funnel clouds coming our way, so we all ran for the basement and his under the stairs and played some crazy game where you weren't supposed to say English words to refer to things, so, to refer to a dance I said "Chilean" and everyone bought that, so I think I won that round.

    And then I realized I hadn't told my mom yet that I was pregnant, so I called her to tell her.

    4 months pregnant and tornadoes....?

    Happy...

    National Kick Butt Day! Personally, I'm really looking forward to National Grouch Day on Wednesday. I wonder if there's an INTERNATIONAL Grouch Day...?

    EW Weekly, of course, has a countdown. I had an inkling whom their number one might be...

    I am a lasagna

    Browsing thru old posts, I found this game and wanted to play again. So I did.

    1. Randomly pick a song from your music library.
    2. Find the lyrics for the first four verses/chorus.
    3. Go to Google Translation and translate the lyrics from English into German.
    4. Take the new German lyrics and translate them into French.
    5. Take the new French lyrics and translate them into English.
    6. Post the NEW English lyrics and have people guess the original song.


    Exhibit A
    If you were
    So I start
    You need a light
    I play a game
    I like the cause, as you say, Bonjour
    And take the path I am
    If you are costs
    Here, take my pullover
    His head is painful
    I will do better
    I like the cause, as you call me baby
    And take the path I am
    I buy you Rogaine
    When you start losing all your hair
    Sewing on patches
    For everything you break
    Cause I love you more than ever, I promise
    And I take the path I'm mmm
    I was here, as I am
    I was here, as I am

    Exhibit B
    So you're on, you're not "
    I knew that if you have said, if you told me they were Leaving
    It is, if I knew certainly,
    But if you try, for my heart
    His plan is a mistake from the beginning
    You can not break my heart, it is unnecessary
    It melted, if I
    And as you return to leave
    No "new to me!
    Do not go back and see if I cry
    I'm not crying

    I'm not crying
    It is just raining
    on my face
    And if you think you can see, some tracks break my cheeks
    Please. Can not say, my mates
    I'm not crying
    No, I'm not crying
    And if I cry
    It is not, for example, because you have
    It is because I think a friend of mine, you do not know who dies
    It's true, die
    These are not tears of sadness, because you leave me
    I just cut onions
    I am a lasagna
    For a
    Oh, I'm not crying
    No
    There are only a little dust in my eye
    This is the path you if you said your Goodbye
    I am not crying because you are not here for my hand
    For your information, there is a crack in my gland inflammation
    I am not angry because I left this way
    My eyes are a little today suant
    You've always dreamed of
    They like you to research
    You've always dreamed of you
    Even if I told them not to
    These are not tears of sadness
    They are tears of joy
    I just laugh
    Ha ha ha ha ha --
    I sit here at this table the name of love
    You rigid fixation on the irony of life
    How we reached this fork in the road
    Yet the cut like a knife "
    I'm not crying
    I'm not crying
    I do not cry-y-y-y --
    -y-y-y-y-Ing

    a haiku

    I took my car in

    Then did some paperwork and

    Now I want some beer

    done, hopefully for realsies this time

    After much debating (they tried to tell me I needed a new EGR valve.  Um... no.), the mechanic here determined that Ernie's didn't do a thorough job of cleaning the ports and they were still clogged.  So this time I *should* be in good shape.  He said this i totally unrelated to the catalytic converter, so as long as nothing else goes wrong before Tuesday, when I'm supposed to drive home...

    Excuse me, I have to go find some wood to knock on.

    ...

    SIXTH time in three weeks.  Yes, that's right!  I'm back at the Honda dealer today.  Luckily when they told me they couldn't see me before MONDAY and I said pissily, "Oh, just forget it." they managed to fit me in.  At 10, rather than at 8, as they originally offered.  Ha.
