well! all sorts of unrelated things to blog about! i think i'll just post 4 or 5 different entries. i'm HOT and tired. i should be doing research and writing my paper, but i can't move. i walked to rajun cajun and got indian food for dinner (i HAVE been eating the same salads for 3 meals straight and deserve a change, and it's too hot to cook) and am reading my robin mckinley fairy tale book. it's a happy world view. culture shock germany is just making me depressed. i don't know why anyone would want to go to germany after reading it. i want to go and prove him wrong, but the hoops are just incredible. it seems there are only 2 easy ways of moving to germany, and that's joining the military or marrying a german. being a lesbian pasifist, this is obviously not happening. grrr. i just need to stop being so lazy and learn the language. even the grammar. (well, i should probably write this damn paper first...)
so, continuing to procrastinate, i signed online. the other day, mac at pesky apostrophe was mocking the dress code at bob jones university. i could almost relate, so scary. anyway, i was drawing a guy in a suit yesterday and telling pam about it, and then i sent her the link. she responded back today, saying,
"oh HELL NO. I'm sorry, but victorians change their
clothing less than these people have to. You might as
well make a cot in your room for your mom to stay,
since you can't even dress yourself.
And, while I do admit that abercrombie probably is the
devil's work, really, how is their shit ANY different
than most of the other name label shit out there? Did
anyone really ASK Christ if he was offended instead of
so rudely assuming? Geez.
I'm going to start my own college where everyone must
wear fishnets, even the men, with a minimum of 2 holes
per leg. And if we can tell what color your hair
naturally is, you have to get a mohawk. There must
also be a 3 piece minimum of vinyl in your wardrobe,
and wearing beige will get you expelled."
i thought this was SOOO funny, i started clicking on her links at the bottom, and would you believe it- she's got a blog! it's here, and even though she doesn't post very often, what she does post is amazing. after our lunch in the park (i love being mentioned in others blogs!) she had a crazy woman on her train ride home, and posted a beautiful spew about art. the title to this post is a quote from that post, btw. and the previous one. OH MY GOD. it gets a link all of it's own, GODDAMNIT! the musical. and the musical has such a great scene with the infamous frances:
"Evil wheelchair bound villain rolls on as loud wind noises are heard. She is wielding an orange jacket that looks like a rug and cackling with glee. behind her, the costume shop sings the Hurricane Frances song:"It looks like we're gonna be blown away, Hurricane Frances hits today. She decimates all that she touches, runs you down with her chair, you'll be on crutches. She is the definition of pain...look out, it's a hurricane!"
and then, later,
"Lights up slowly as sinister music starts. We see the costume shop. The staff is humming the hurricane song and trying not to look disdainful as villain is waiting for heroine.
Villian: HAHA!!!! Villain throws out a long piece of piping with a bloddy rubber finger on one end and chases heroine with it.
Heroine is once again cornered by sewing machine, as a giant orange jacket unfolds itself from the scenery behind her and looms menacingly over the stage.
heroine starts a medley of I don't want to be here as staff continues to hum the hurricane song and the villain exposits to music.
"I'm here to drive you crazy, you've got nothing better to do. So stitch and stitch and stitch and stitch, remember I'm paying you! Just stitch and stitch and stitch and stitch and stitch and stitch some more! And while's you're over there stitching...I'll go home and watch cartoons!!!
Villain leaves in a gail of laughter. Fabric blows on to simulate hurricane cloud. Debris flies across stage striking the staff."
it's so perfect. i am happy to be an extra being hit with debris in the musical of pam's life.
and i know better, i will never stich for her! as if the whole figure drawing stuff isn't enough.
anyway, kira's book meme and friday random 10 coming next.
