something I never posted last night apparently

Kjpepper in The Hyphenated Ages

Straying so far from the book that it becomes lost and not unoriginal, kjpepper (Lisa Kudrow) invents a new type of high-tech weapon. Meanwhile, morlock (Sean Penn) and sundart (Alicia Silverstone) do their best to erase the dramatic consequences from the public consciousness. The DVD features commentary by Sean Penn and choreographer/star Alicia Silverstone.

Produced by ianiceboy

much like they did with Earthsea, the mostly black cast of the book has been replaced with white actors. :)

Eeep, Lisa Kudrow?

I sound my barbaric YAWP over the rooftops of the world...

Well. That was fun.

I just thoroughly depressed myself.

Basically it happened by accident. I was doing some friends list maintenance (mostly shuffling my comms into various reading groups) and I happened to read that the founder of metaquotes had recently passed away. A little investigation showed that she was the ex-wife of a completely random and unconnected other person on LJ I'd recently friended (docnuke I recommend reading some of his stuff - he's wonderfully snarky usually). So I checked out the aformentioned chickie's journal... it wasn't really her husband's account of her death that got to me, though that was heartbreaking... it was the fact that once upon a not so long-ago time, this journal was maintained by a living person... I don't know, even though it seemed like her disease had spent a long time in progressing (she was in pain for months before her actual diagnosis, and only lived a month afterward) there did seem to be a cruelly short time in between her finding out what was wrong and her death. I mean... her July and August entries are for the most part full of the cheerful inanities of day to day life, and 2 months later, her husband is posting funeral plans/announcements.

I guess it doesn't really matter how long you know, the end is always sudden.

Seems to be the right season for considering our fragile mortality as the season turns inoxorably to winter and Samhain creeps closer. Also... Bosslady is currently coping with the death of a friend, anzovin's dealing with his father's cancer, acatnamedfat is no longer with us, and at the end of the month will be the anniversary of my Mom's death... that and a couple of other happenings lately definitely have me wanting to draw me and mine close, hug them, tell them I love them. Cause... really, you just don't know who will still be there at the end of the year... the end of the month, or even the day. How did that quote go? Man plans, God laughs?

Eat, drink, and be merry indeed, cause no one knows what will happen tomorrow, and there may be some Joss Whedon-like bastard upstairs masquerading as God.

GIP (there've been a lot of those lately)

So there is this preternaturally gorgeous picture of Summer Glau up on IMDb which simply begged for iconage. So... here.

In other news, holy crap, I now have a nefarious plan for morlock's birthday, which is good 'cause a) I was hurting for ideas b) he's been tormenting me with pseudohints about whatever he's getting me. I'll just say that ha ha, I totally own his soul and win everything. sydneycat said so. So. There. *evil cackle*

And by the way, Carlos Mencia is my new personal Jesus Christ.
