Deus ex vagina *

[kjpepper]

from wikipedia:

Deus ex machina - (plural dei ex machinis) is Latin for "god from the machine" and is a calque from the Greek "από μηχανής θεός", (pronounced "apo mekhanes theos"). It originated with Greek and Roman theater, when a mechane would lower a god or gods onstage to resolve a hopeless situation. Thus, "god comes from the machine". The phrase deus ex machina has been extended to refer to any resolution to a story which does not pay due regard to the story's internal logic and is so unlikely it challenges suspension of disbelief, and presumably allows the author to end it in the way he or she wanted. In short, a deus ex machina is a quick fix in a story.

*sigh* Much in the same vein, all tragedy, mood swings, drama, and tendencies toward violence, both outward and reflexive, can be quickly and neatly resolved and explained by the sudden appearence of scarlet in my pants.

I need to start keeping better track of this shit.

Oh PS - could someone give me the web site where I made this entry's icon? I can't remember it for the life of me...

* I never took Latin. Shut up.
