I'm not so callous as you think/I barely breathe when you are near

( A...uh, iconspam of epically useless proportions. Apparently when I have several days of complete mindblank I resort to screencapping Star Trek. IDEK. )

Do you know what the problem with political jokes is?

... they keep getting elected.


(Sorry. I couldn't resist.)


Why is the internet sick?! First facebook was playing up like a mofo, and now my livejournal notifications seem to be on an eight hour time lag (if I get them at all) and I can't access clips on TDS or TCR and I DO NOT LIKE IT.

If the interwebs have finally decided to pull Matrix on us and declare war on the human race I would just like to put it out there that this week isn't really convenient for me.

Could we reschedule for the 28th, maybe? Or next month?

I saw Coraline this week with an animation-nut, and I thought it was sweet and visually gorgeous though perhaps a little slow. We both came away slightly unsatisfied in the sense that he found the animation a little too polished, not with the same stop-motion charm of Nightmare Before Christmas, and I was longing for a little more creepy Gaiman bite. Though I couldn't but adore the fact there was a character called Why-Be-Born...Wybie was sweet, and the plight of him and of Other-Wybie were probably the only parts I really empathised with...

I also really, really want to see Inglourious Basterds. It's disturbing how much fun that film looks.

And, in other news, the  Ashes drags on and now I can't get control of the TV ever, since apparently Australia is resurging or something. Gah. All I can make out is that some of the English bowlers are cute and the SBS coverage would be crap without Stuart Macgill flirting with the camera and his co-hosts incessantly.
