The Treachery of Content, or, Ceci N'est Pas Une Blog

[snurri]

There are lots of things I should post about, but I am at that BLISSFUL stage of revisions where most of my thoughts are occupied with stories I do not have time to write at the moment. It's kind of a sad comment on how apt I am to use my imagination as an avoidance strategy when it becomes a strategy for avoiding using my imagination.

In the spirit of feeling scattered and insane, I give you this poll:

Your answers were all wrong for Black Adder, you horrible heartless humanless thing.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Sorry. It had moments, but overall I found it overwritten and repetitive. If it had been someone other than Atkinson, maybe.

[haddayr.livejournal.com]

You have a tiny tiny piece of coal where your heart should be, don't you? Admit it!!!!

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, but only because I donated my heart to Santa to give to naughty children.

[glvalentine.livejournal.com]

I was assuming Human League. If this doesn't involve feeling fascination, I need to rescind my answer.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Wait, what?

[glvalentine.livejournal.com]

Dude, it's like, my only 80s joke, and it doesn't even WORK?

I'm just going to pretend I grew up in the 50s.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

I got the reference, just not the relevance?

I may be particularly dense right now.

[glvalentine.livejournal.com]

"Interleague play." Because I'm twelve.

I'm going to go ahead and blame the 80s, and then neither of us has to get the blame. Good plan?

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Oh, duh.

I blame all of my personality flaws on the '80s (and Catholicism), so that works.

I can't be bothered to click on shit, but the correct answers are "Arwen," "Chicago Cubs," and "I hate everyone."

[snurri.livejournal.com]

OK, I can go with you on the other two, but ARWEN?!?!?

[rnb.livejournal.com]

Liv Tyler is pretty hot.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

But she is not Arwen, or else Steven Tyler would be Elrond, and UM NO.

[rnb.livejournal.com]

Elrond doesn't come into this. Liv Tyler!

[mastadge.livejournal.com]

She is no such thing.

[rnb.livejournal.com]

I guess I could go to very hot.

[msbelle.livejournal.com]

I am worried. are you sleeping?

never fear that this still made me laugh, but I am not laughing AT your lack of coherence.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

I think my body is getting rest but my brain is not. I'd say I was manic except that this has not actually resulted in a proportionate amount of productivity. Whee!

I liked most of the Queen Elizabeth blackadder and the Hugh Laurie season. but my god, who thought setting a comedy in WW1 would actually be funny? It was like, the most depressing thing ever.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

The ending of the WWI series was stunningly sad, which I actually appreciated.

Fry and Laurie and Rik Mayall were all pretty good. And yeah, the Queen and Nursie, pretty consistently funny. But I was tired of Blackadder himself halfway through the first series.

[bibliogrrl.livejournal.com]

Hugh Laurie and Rik Mayall.

*gasp* I forgot about that.

I think I need to be alone now.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

There are so many people above you, me, and all the other people I know who read your lj on the "last person on earth for nudity" list. I mean, really.

Also, interleague play is so pointless. As of last night, the Royals had the best interleague record. The Royals. When does the National League say, "Crap, we cannot beat the Royals, we should go get some ringers from a kindergarten T-ball league?" I think it's now, frankly. I think now is the time.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

I was actually thinking last night that perhaps the Twins should switch leagues, 'cause obviously something is clicking for them in the National League parks that doesn't consistently click in the AL.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Maybe they have decided not to suck?

No, that can't be it.

[blueeverglades.livejournal.com]

I think you left an answer off of "Nudity?" and that answer should have involved pasties. ;)

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Everyone with pasties! Subject to local ordinances, of course.
