Just another chapter in La Vie De TKP

[lettered]

I don't care how it sounds, Captain Crunch tastes good in coffee.

Speaking of coffee, remember how I told you my coffee machine sucked? Well, it got better! Aureliano Buendía (that's the coffee machine's name, as he is the son of José Arcadio Buendía) was facing the firing squad, but now he is crafting small gold-lief fish! Or something. Go him! But then I cleaned him and he was watery again, but now better again. The ups and downs of his life, they suit his name.

If you have commented or posted in the past two weeks, I have read it. I just haven't replied because of stuff! Do you like stuff? I like stuff.

I am very excited by the fic(s) I am writing right now. That's good. Fic-writing is a happy thing.

I'm addicted to WEBoggle. It's entrenous88's fault. I didn't even know about it until her. Now I've got my brother, s-i-l, and mom addicted too. Now that's entertainment! How does the water buffalo fit in again?

I've convinced my BFF (TiFF is her name and she won't get lj but I don't really want her to because then she'll find out I read porn) to watch BtVS/AtS with me. She's always dissing it and she used to diss me for liking it but she stopped that because I stopped letting it bother me. Anyway, so I convinced her to watch ALL OF IT, and I can hardly wait. In fact, I so can't wait that I started and watched S1 again without her. And half of season 2. But that doesn't mean I can't watch them AGAIN. Oh, the B/A. It makes me want to dance a very lively dance that can be danced while sitting down and perhaps sleeping as I am tired. But I have observations! Things I've never observed before! But I'm going to wait to post them until I can throw in some classic TiFF ones too because she's such a hoot. God I love that girl.

Speaking of waiting to post, dude! I have so many things to say to you all (yes, to you! Hello! *squish*) but all of it is half-formed, cookin' in my noggin like so many noodley things al dente. dovil, if I was an Al I'd be al dente.

I weeded the gardens today. It was fun to get all dirty and sweaty with the dirt under my nails and I got to see a toad, and wear my hat, the only hat that fits as I have a big head but this particular hat is very cute I swear, BUT, I'm allergic to weeds. And these were very tall weeds as I've been saying I'd weed since February (that's when I weed) and I didn't get around to it til now, so with their tall shoulder-high wispiness they kept brushing my face and very-risqué-only-for-bed-and-the-yard-camisole, and with their lovers' touch they have marked me forever more. I have red welts everywhere. I thought they went away but they are still here; just pink.

You know what I like about Spike? Is I don't think he's very fickle. I know this guy, and he's such a great guy, like part of our family almost, and he keeps having very bad luck in love. And a lot of the time, the way he thinks reminds me of Spike, not the way he acts, or his personality, but just kind of his approach to life, it's a Spikean personality. Except for the fickle thing. He changes his mind too often for me. It's partly because I tend to be a bit plodding, and partly because I'm a bit of a luddite in some fashion, and partly because I'm HORRIBLY stubborn, but I just don't think I change my mind about things very often. That's a lot different from being close-minded, or not seeing other points of view, but I don't know, I think I am perhaps overly obsessed with consistency.

SPEAKING OF SPIKE. There was an argument today with friends and family and it was getting old so I said, "Spike's cock rocks my clock", and then realized I said it aloud. Oops. But then there was discussion about Spike's cock, which is always good.

SPEAKING OF SPIKE'S COCK, season one of Angel is the only one I'm sure of in a rating 1 through 5, 1 being best season and 5 being not the best season, I give it a not the best season. There are some really great eps in it, but it's the only season where the main thread of the narrative doesn't make me say, guh, this is the best season, because there really was no narrative thread in S1; they were still figuring everything out. Also, Doyle. He's cute and he's Irish and he does this head thing in IWRY when he's talking about what B/A may or may not be doing downstairs, and Angel loves him I think, but I just can't like him very much for some reason.

I saw that movie with Antonio Banderas. I am a sucker for cheesy dancing movies, I think. It was extremely lame and I was very entertained.

That's it, folks. I'm tired. Plus, I wanted to use the word "folks."

ETA: dictionary.com says fickle means changeableness but especially as it relates to "affections or attachments", and that's what I meant as far as Spike goes. Still, I wish I hadn't written that now, because it has a ring of "huh?" considering how often Spike decides to do one thing but does another.

You may be a saint of tolerance and love, for I do not put up with people trashing BtVS. No, no I do not. Although my friends do not really attempt this, for I am scary and intimidating. Um, yeah.

Dude! Your family! Mine would have *no* idea what I was talking about and the layers of explanation it would require would be like a mobius onion that I was peeling. Also! I totally resisted saying this same phrase today with my friends while having a "discussion" about the general lack of male frontal nudity in our visual culture.

I too, am a sucker for cheesy dancing movies. Really, there are few things that I like better than people dancing in movies. Even choreographed group dancing. Perhaps especially then.

Hey Al-dente! It's true! As soon as you drop someone's name in they are totally obligated to comment back! In fact one day I'm going to do a post entirely made up off all the names from my flist just to get a boat load of attention whoring comments!

'Stuff' is very cool, and so is the word 'folks'. Also ice and a chilly wind is also cool, but that goes without saying. But not without typing.

I nod your head at your observations, and even though you're not Spike's Cock (though you're very articulate if you are, and dexterous, again with the typing) you still rock my clock.

You write the best rambling posts ever.

These fic(s) of which you speak- would any of them contain an update for Best Souvenir. you're killing me here

I am at work- but no one else is...it is quiet but soon it won't be. When people arrive, I will make a pot of tea and get started on my day.

crazydiamondsue is right about the name dropping. I told lostakasha that that's how I stay on top of my flist; I scan for my name- if you're not talking about me, clearly nothing interesting is going on. *g*

*smooch*

[filmnoir6.livejournal.com]

eh what kind of Captain Crunch goes good with coffee?? Inquiring minds... :p

Save your hard-earned $ for less cheesy films, tkp--esp ones with Antonio... Style and taste does count!

Stuff is good... *goes to purchase more stuff*

btw, more Hamlet less "Prufrock" say I (Eliot pales in comparison to the Bard)

Oooh, two references! Do I comment twice? Ask CDS, because apparently she's making the rules around here now. She's mad with power, I tell you.

God, the WEBoggle is so awful in its addictiveness! Because you start thinking, "liberalssux!", you're going down, and it becomes this whole mess of political alliances in addition to finding the word AGAR.

And I am very pleased that you used "Spike's cock rocks my clock" in conversation. I feel like there's tendrils of Spike-cock-thinking reaching around the world, and we're all connected. Heeee, that sounds vaguely gross. Still!

I'm going to re-start episodic_buffy this week, so if you're watching eps you might want to check it out and jump in the conversation. Of course it doesn't seem like the best time to rev that up right now with work and other issues, but I've decided there's never going to be a good time, so I'm just going to charge onward.

Definitely on S1 - I love it still, but it really is still a Monster of the Week show at that point. So on the couple of weaker episodes, there's nothing compelling to watch, no major plot advancement.

Captain Crunch in COFFEE!? You just destroyed my soul.

I am worried about your coffee situation. Consistently good coffee is IMPORTANT.

[rahirah]

OMG, someone else who doesn't love Doyle with the passion of a thousand firey suns? I thought I was alone!

[my_daroga]

Well, you *know* I'm gonna comment when Spike's cock's making its wee gargantuan presence known.

You sound giddy. It's good to see you here.

I like movie musicals and stuff, but only certain ones. I didn't see the Banderas movie, and I probably won't, but I love Fred Astaire et al even though nobody understands me. He's so little and out of place and adorable, I can't help it! And his singing is pleasantly not that good, which I also approve of.

I watched some of Angel S1. But then I stopped.

It's fun to re-watch with the uninitiated. It gives you an excuse to watch again too. So it's less like wasting time. Or something.

Dude, I love your segue ways.

This post is a plethora of random wonderfulness. I refuse to begin WEBoggle, as I've been hooked on enough games now located on the net. Yay for making new people watch our dead gay shows! I'm sorry for what the weeds did to you. I can't imagine how my family would react if I let out a "Spike's cock rocks my clock". They have no idea how deep my obsession runs in the first place, or what exactly I'm doing when I'm online for so long, and would probably be utterly scandalized at the idea of me thinking about a fictional character's cock. Your family is totally cool! I think I'm skipping the Banderas dancing movie... for now.

I use the word "folks" IRL too much for my own good.

Not that I don't love these posts that come out when you're up at crazy hours of the night, but I do hope you start getting more sleep soon.

lol marries you, where do i send the diamond ring?

I love doing work in the yard! It's so fun to get all dirty and stuff.

I love Angel s1.

I can't tolerate people who diss btvs >;O ESPECIALLY if they haven't seen it!

[anelith.livejournal.com]

Reading the comments I find that your mother is so totally cool, and that we share a love of 7 Brides for 7 Brothers. The dancing, that is. Do you also love West Side Story?

Although, the plotline in 7 Brides made me want to pick up some of that barn-raising material and brain the menfolk with it...

There's a good use of that word folk for you.

I shall point out that if you were a tea drinker, you wouldn't be having this battle with the coffee maker. You'd have a peaceful morning with the electric kettle, a teapot, and lovely tea leaves... Mmmm.

Cheesy dance movies are the best! Good to hear it was entertaining even if it was lame. I want to see Akeelah and the Bee because it looks uplifting, and I like Morpheus, er Lawrence Fishburne.

Gardening sounds so earthy. Too bad Edward Ferrars didn't come up the road and surprise you with a marriage proposal. Oh, that's right: you like Colonal Brandon. Well, who wouldn't when he's reading poetry like a super stud?

Good to hear your coffee machine is all better. Life's little pleaures make the world go round.

I'm reading Beauty; it rocks. I'm up to her frist night in the castle. I'm wondering if the little, seemingly needless events will turn out to be very important. I'm enjoying it very much :-)

[cordelianne.livejournal.com]

Hi! Hi! I'm glad your coffee machine is fixed! Although I am a tea drinker, I understand the importance of good coffee.

I like stuff! I'm a big fan of stuff. Especially that stuff that, you know, goes well with other stuff.

Yay for BtVS rewatching and getting your friend hooked! I've been wanting to do a re-watch but keep not having the time. I occasionally will watch episodes as research for fanfic, that's my favourite form of research!

There was an argument today with friends and family and it was getting old so I said, "Spike's cock rocks my clock", and then realized I said it aloud. Oops. heeee! That's awesome! I'd never be able to do that with my family. My mom and I are very close but we never talk about sex.

I agree with you about AtS S1. Although there's things I enjoy, it's definintely the weakest season. It's so clear they're still figuring out the shape of the show, and don't have a narrative thread. I'm also not that into Doyle, I like his character and cry at his death, and find it incredibly sad about the actor's death. However I've always been baffled at the love for his character and for Hero. I really like the episode but it never had the impact on me as it did for many other fans (perhaps I'm distracted by the obvious metaphor). Although, I've found that my favourite AtS episodes are very different from other fans (I'm also not enamoured with Are You Now or ... I really like the episode, but it never occurs to me to put it in a top 10 list).

Oh, and Spike and Xander's cocks rock my clock!!
