Yeah... I can fly

Iron Man. Yes. Oh so very very yes.

Stay through the credits.

I'm going to take a long cold shower and try to resist the urge/temptation to see it again tomorrow.

Wish for today

I wish that there was a way to capture sequential frames from YouTube videos. I'm jonesing for a "WARKITTENS!??" icon from that Capital One commercial, but it loses something as a still image.

While I'm dreaming, make it stop raining and gimme 100K.

ETA: and get "Still Alive" out of my head.

OK I'll play.

Meant to post this yesterday. Didn't.

yanked from masteradept:

List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre,whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they mustbe songs you're really enjoying now, shaping your spring. Post theseinstructions in your LJ along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 otherpeople to see what they're listening to. bah tagging.

Jesus, I have to narrow it down to SEVEN??

The Greenskeepers - It Rubs the Lotion On Its Skin
found this trolling youtube for the corresponding sequence from the movie. Excellent, though creeptastic song.

Franz Ferdinand - The Fallen
I liked Franz Ferdinand well enough for "take me out." After a few listens, I like this song better.

Shakespears Sister - Goodbye Cruel World
The more I listen to this song, the more I feel like Siobhan Fahey, drama queen or no, is one of the more underappreciated altos working right now.

Ani DiFranco - Amazing Grace
probably the closest Ani veers into Trip-Hop territory. It's certainly the most interesting version of the hymn I've ever heard.

Massive Attack - Teardrop
I don't care if House "ruined" it. This is still one of my favorite songs ever.

Guster - Two Points for Honesty
Ah, Guster. This must have been a bitch to sing at first considering it has an extremely weird meter.

The Mamas and the Papas - Creeque Alley
This song's just fun - it's the story of how they got started, sung in extremely interesting 4 pt harmony.


Of course, as usual, all list pertaining to music are subject to change every 10 minutes or so.

Lets have a little fun with leetkey, shall we?

okay, so I'm weird about movies

Now granted I am a lot better about this now than I used to be, mostly because I associate with some pretty impatient people, but once upon a time I was compulsive about staying in my seat for the entire length of a movie to the point where my niece and nephew wouldn't go to the movies will me because I'd force them to sit through the credits.

I realize that this is a quirk particular to me (or is it?), and again, I'm better about it than I used to be. But even though I can now get up and leave as the credits are rolling (and will, considering the end credits always seem to correspond to a bus leaving) I still feel horribly guilty about it. Somehow when I was really young I got it into my head that it was beyond rude to all the people that worked on the movie to not stay. Yeah, I know, they don't know about it what do they care, right? Still feel guilty about it. Course, I'm also the person that will sit and hold it for an entire movie rather than get up to go pee. No, seriously, I nearly wet myself at the end of Attack of the Clones. That AND I get real pissy if I'm in any way late for a movie. I don't care if there are 15 minutes of commercials and trailers at the beginning, I LIKE TRAILERS. Yeah. I really don't like sitting down for a movie after it's started.

Of course, this compulsion is occasionally rewarded - I can sit and feel extremely smug about not missing the extra hit with the geek bat at the end of Iron Man while everyone else is all "WAIT I MISSED SOMETHING???" Why yes yes you did, and if you had stayed to acknowledge David Klotz's contribution to the movie in the department of music editing, maybe you wouldn't have, lol.**




**okay, though I admit that the only reason we stuck around last night is cause morlock knew there was an extra at the end and told us to stay.
