I Like My Tea Like I Like My Women: Strong and Bitter

[snurri]

Thing One: Today I am interviewed by Gwenda over at Shaken & Stirred as part of the Summer Blog Blast Tour organized by Colleen Mondor. (You can follow the rest of the interview fun over at Colleen's blog.) After the initial nervousness of this interview thing, I'm starting to sort of enjoy it. This one was particularly fun.

Thing Two: My friend Derek Hill, fellow first-year Odyssey student and all-around fine human being, has a film book out about, well--the title is Charlie Kaufman and Hollywood's Merry Band of Pranksters, Fabulists and Dreamers: An Excursion Into the American New Wave. It's out in the UK, that is, and will soon be out here. Pretty much I'd want to read this one even if I didn't know Derek was an awesome writer.

Thing Three: More Secret City tomorrow, I promise. Might not be any for a couple of weeks after that, though, with WisCon impending.

Thing Four: THE SHOWDOWN.

1) I like all people to be strong and bitter even though I am sometimes weak and unjaded.

2) I have to ask for clarification on the upcoming Slim vs. Greenjeans poll. What kind of creepy? Because if we're talking "Most likely to attack you with a pitchfork" creepy vs. "Most likely to undress in public" creepy, I think there would be different answers.

3) What, pray tell, is the point of having blasters if you can't have puppets?

1) Sweet is disconcerting, isn't it?

2) Personally, I find Slim to be in a category of creepy exponentially greater than Mr. Greenjeans. But there was a time when I honestly thought that Mr. Greenjeans was just a disembodied pair of denim trousers, and that was creepy.

3) This is why we have "Farscape."

These poll results made me feel old. If you kids had seen Captain Kangaroo For Rill? During his own decade? You'd know. Oh, yes. You'd know. Ping pong balls. Bunches of carrots. I mean... That was comedy. That was comedy.

I liked it when I was a kid, but to be honest I remember little of it. I remember "Rain" but that's mostly it.

Are you coming on to me?

Why must you ask me that every ten minutes?

[haddayr.livejournal.com]

Tsk. If you would stop hitting on me, I wouldn't have to keep calling you on it.

No blasters! No blasters!
