We stabbed pumpkins for Halloween...
Then we stabbed turkeys for Thanksgiving...
What shall we stab next?

Acquired freshman year of college. Survived four school years of food-stained dormitory life. Followed by four years of food/cat-puke-stained apartment life; the last year of which involved getting chewed to bits by a Bootsie cat. Tan is a remarkable color when it comes to the concealment of cat puke stains, but thankfully, Bootsie is not much of a puker (except for that one time he ate a piece of ribbon), so now I have a colorful, handwoven, recycled jeans rug that was not soaked in toxic chemicals, such that if Bootsie does chew on it, I don't have to worry about it causing him further brain damage. But I gave him permission to chew on the new rug in the hopes that reverse psychology works on cats (yeah, I'm not hopeful, either).

As a side-note, it seems obvious to me now that the sole purpose of rug replacement was so that Bootsie could be entertained because he is just having a grand old time.

"To Be Alone With You" by Sufjan Stevens: from G's perspective about Sam. Technically the song is about Jesus, but I liked it better when I thought it was about a gay guy. Alternatively, Jesus was a homosexual. That works too, actually.

I'd swim across Lake Michigan,
I'd sell my shoes
I'd give my body to be back again
In the rest of the room
To be alone with you
To be alone with you
To be alone with you
To be alone with you

You gave your body to the lonely
They took your clothes
You gave up a wife and a family
You gave your ghost
To be alone with me
To be alone with me
To be alone with me
You went up on a tree

To be alone with me
You went up on a tree

I've never known a man who loved me

Also, "Spies" by Coldplay because it makes me think of Sam rising up out of the pond on the golf course in that ep.

For the record, I fully intend to cling to my "Sam got Don't Ask, Don't Tell-ed out of the Navy" theory for as long as possible.

Because why the hell not?

This one cuts off sorta weird (it's a black screen for the tail end of the song which doesn't count as video, I guess):


And this one has very quiet audio, but if you turn it up too loud it gets distorted (and I think it works better mood-wise on the quiet-side):

Why are demons and ghouls always together?
Because demons are a ghoul's best friend.

I am taking Vacation Days this Thursday and Friday for the sake of my sanity, and since it's Halloween and I've got a whole lot of unwatched DVDs courtesy of Swaptree (I ♥ Swaptree): it's time for a horror movie marathon!

My only definite plans so far are:
Thursday: Go to the movie theater to see a Zombieland matinee,
and Saturday: Watch Army of Darkness during the usual SciFi Saturday timeslot because SyFy is playing some Ghost Hunters gobbledy-gook instead of a crappy movie.

My options for the rest of the marathon are as follows:

Never seen:
-Cloverfield
-Quarantine
-Land of the Dead
-Altered
-Chronicles of Riddick
-The Faculty

Never seen in a non-EditedForTV capacity:
-Dawn of the Dead(Remake)
-Identity
-Pitch Black
-The Forgotten
-Frequency

Seen, but I could always watch it again *cough*ArmyofDarkness*cough*:
-Night of the Living Dead
-Dawn of the Dead(Original)
-Cursed
-Ginger Snaps
-The Mummy

Seen more recently, so will probably skip:
-Underworld
-Slither
-Shaun of the Dead

Oh, Bootsie.
Crawling into the oven is what's commonly know as a Bad Idea(TM). I promise there is nothing good or interesting in there for you to play with.

Stop trying to be a social networking site and just let me check my damn email.

Last night before I went to bed I came up with a song for last week's episode of Supernatural which I remember as being "Rise Up With Fists" by Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins. No problem there.
But I also came up with a song for this week's episode. It's just that now I can't remember what that song is.
And all I can think of is "Battlefield" by Jordin Sparks, and I do associate that song with SPN in the sense that when she gets to my favorite part, "Guess you'd better put on your armour," I picture Jensen Ackles in armour which is really just... yum.
And like, the more I think about it, the more the song sorta works for the episode, but I know it wasn't the song I was thinking of last night.
In trying to retrace my brain processes, I know I was thinking that the title of the ep is the title of that fic I wrote way back in season one, but I don't how I got from there to a song, or even if there's a direct link because my brain makes weird connection sometimes.
But now I'm thinking that the whole "love is a battlefield" thing is sorta perfect for the Winchesters. Love is a battlefield. A battlefield is love. And love is worth the fight. Or something.

And I do:



But it fails as a holiday card cause it's too damn hard to mass produce.

Because it's a good description of how I've been feeling this week:

I'm waiting for
A miracle to save me,
I'm waiting for
A brand new day,
I'm waiting for
That Knight in Shining Armour,
But part of me hopes he'll stay away.

I'm waiting for
The turning of the switch,
I'm waiting for
The day I step out of the proverbial ditch,
I'm waiting for
The magical cure,
In the hope that things will be better than they were before.

I'm waiting for
A miracle to save me,
I'm waiting for
A brand new day,
I'm waiting for
That Knight in Shining Armour,
But part of me hopes he'll stay away.

The 2003 version.

And I re-recorded it for the chuckles.

There is a library book that has multiple chapters* worth of this bullshit:




I erased most of it on Tuesday and my wrist still hurts.

Why? Why would you write in a library book that does not belong to you? Why would you underline an entire chapter worth of text instead of just making some notation about how chapters 5-7 are the ones you need to use? Why can't you just make some photocopies? Why can't you just take notes? Why do you do these things to the point where I have to hurt myself undoing them?

*I decided to forgo actually counting how many chapters because then instead of reading this you'd be reading about the Princeton employee who went on a killing spree and first stabbed her victims in the right hand with a pencil before shoving an eraser down each one's throat.

LINGUISTICS
Well, hello there, college major that I have a degree in that I don't really use and occasionally fiddle around with as a hobby.

MONKEY
Monkey! I like both the word and what it describes.

MONKEE
Evil demon monkey child disguised as a cat who got his simian nickname due to climbing the support pole in PUs' kitchen to the ceiling.

BELLONA
The Devil Street! It stops and starts again and possibly intersects itself forming a portal to hell.

PURPLE MOUNTAIN MAJESTIES
I think maybe the cookie cutter shape was supposed to be a bat or something, but slap some purple icing on there and you're good to go.

From tobimonkee:
ZOMBIE
A bite on the neck may be quite interdental, but Zombies are a girl's best friend.

MONKEY
Oogly boogly monkey children, fuzzy blue monkeys, winged flying monkeys, monkey people..

BLUE
The bestest color ever.

MUSIC
*sings some more*

BUMPER STICKERS
White cars are boring. Bumper stickers make them less so.

I've got a slightly less Mutant-Creature SciFiSyFy Original in mind:

You can have your OWBCWSPAABHD, alright and everyone in the movie will moon over him, but the real main character who will actually save the day/fulfill the big honkin' destiny (or subvert it somehow because destiny is lame) will be a brown girl (maybe Monica from Heroes?) with no special powers. And she shall have parents, by god, and they shall love her- because if they're not absent, they're usually horrible and mean and abusive, and you know what? You don't need to be Tragedy McTragic Backstory to save the world, dammit.

Say "words!" in the comments and I'll respond with 5 words that I associate with you. Write something about them in your LJ.

From witchofthedogs:
SPIRITED
Makes me think of Gosalyn from Darkwing Duck. I'd like to think that Taurus Bulba and his minions wouldn't like my spirit either.

BOUNDLESS
The box that you're trying to cram me into? I. Do. Not. Fit. So stop it already.

OTHERWORLDLY
Aliens! Outerspace! Strange new worlds! I so wanna go there. *sigh*

FINGERTIP
A very important and versatile tool for crafting-- never leave home without one! (Or ten).

CHUPACABRA
I actually recall seeing commercials for a SciFi original about a chupacabra, but I had not yet figured out the awesomely horrible appeal of such movies at the time, so alas, I did not watch it.

MUSIC
*sings*

OZ
Reading the books turned out to be a bit of a disappointment. Frank L. Baum has a great imagination, but dude is a terrible writer. Maybe it's one of those Cabbage Patch Kids Christmas Album things where if I had been introduced to it as a kid, there'd be nostalgic affection involved, but as is, I'll stick with the musicals, thanks.

FLYING
I'm flying- look at me way up high [higher still watch me fly?]- Wendy, Michael, John- Tinkerbell, c'mon! [Something something something something something something some] I'm flyyyyyyyyyyyiiiiinng!

KITTIES
Kitties! I love kitties! Even when they're technically cats or pretending to be monkeys. Like, seriously, I will be 80 and still be all "Kitty! Hi kitty!" whenever I see a cat.

RANDOM
Let me assure you that my thoughts are totally connected to each other... just not in a way that actually makes sense.
