we can raise cities or raze them, it whispers

Ellen and I are going through our old chat logs and found pieces of our conversation musing about why we associate Ani DiFranco music with Hal all the time.

Lucy: And I worry that I apparently mentally consider Hal an angry feminist woman. :|
Ellen: :dies: I...I have no words
Lucy: :shame:
Ellen: pffahahahhaha.
Lucy: WELL HE IS SUCH A FUCKING HOUSEWIFE IN MGS4, OKAY?
Ellen: XD I STILL--AHHAAHA-- I STILL. OH GOD. HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO THAT?
Lucy: I DUNNO.
NOT BY LISTENING TO THE ALBUM, I CAN TELL YOU THAT.
Ellen: I TRY TO VISUALIZE THIS ANGRY FEMINIST HAL BURNING BRAS AND YELLING AT SNAKE FOR NOT BEING SENSITIVE ENOUGH
Lucy: OH MY GOD SHUT THE FUCK UP :DIES LAUGHING:
Ellen: THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT.
Lucy: "Where did you get those?" "N-naomi left them." "OH HERE WE GO WITH YOUR DEAD GIRLFRIEND." "Oh let it go." "I'm not the one who cheated." "Oh fuck you, you can sleep on the sofa."
Ellen: DFKLJSDFLKJ XD "We don't have a sofa in this safe house, it's too small to fit. :| "
:mumbles: "If someone could refrain from overtly carrying guns to meetings with respectable house owners, we might not keep ending up in closets."
Lucy: "We were once international terrorists, dear." "Don't you 'dear' me, asshole."
(lol, crabby old married men!Snake and Otacon makes me glee.)
Ellen: (XD :briefly ponders the verb "to glee": God but they are so cute.)

It's probably not a good thing that I do most of my fic plotting in the same room as Ellen...

Oh, and now she says I have to work this into the genderfucked!Hal fic I might write. Goddamnit.

Someone on Fandom Secrets mentioned a manga called "The Enigma of Amigara". And I was dumbfuck enough to google it.

I... really need a hug. I'm kind of crying and am going to have nightmares for days.

Jesus, what possess you to write something like that?

Seriously, guys. Unless you really love horror, don't look that shit up.

:listening to Romney's speech on Countdown:

WHAT THE FUCKING HELL?

FUCK YOU, ROMNEY. ATHEISTS ARE PEOPLE TOO.

"Freedom requires religion just as religion requires freedom. Freedom opens the windows of the soul so that man can discover his most profound beliefs and commune with God. Freedom and religion endure together, or perish alone."

Transcript here.

HOW.... HOW....

How can he even say that?!

I wanna cry. I can't believe someone who openly bigoted against people like me could be a frontrunner for the damn Presidency.

ETA: Okay, one? If Romeny comes anywhere near Missouri, I'm going to go to one of his rallies with a big fucking sign that says "Atheists are people too".

Two, I have regained my love of Mr. Olbermann. The sly acknowledgement of his SCs being written off as the same ol' thing each time, then basically saying, "your point is?" makes me very happy.

Okay, creeeeepy.

Perpetual hooked me up with this internet radio called Pandora and, out of obligation, I checked it out (if someone pimps you something, you should look- it's the nice thing to do). I took two minutes to get an account (yay for no "activation email"!), and started up.

I told it I like Coldplay, David Gray, Ben Folds, U2, Dave Matthews Band, Death Cab for Cutie, and Damien Rice. I tossed a few song titles at it and started to listen.

So, it has played "Where The Streets Have No Name" by U2, "Moses" by Coldplay, "Disease" by Matchbox 20, and then "Peacekeeper" by Fleetwood Mac. In THAT order.

For fuckin serious, I have DLed those songs. They're still on my old computer's playlists.

*freaked out*

Pandora? Is apparently psychic. Or really well-researched. Either way.... OMFG, THIS IS SO CREEPY/COOL!

-Luce

PS: Now it is played "City of Blinding Lights". Get outta my head, Pandora! *shivers*

Holy shit, man.

So, Jon was talking about the press conference Bush had after his visit to Bahgdad. Much hilarity was had, such as

"You went to the green area of the city. That's like going to the Olive Garden and saying you've been to Italy."

So, yes. Very funny. Then came the "holy shit, man" moment.

So, the Pres is joking around, having fun with the press, making them laugh nervously, etc. Trying to be the cool guy, ya know? Then this reporter asks a question and he's wearing sunglasses. Okay, the Pres, in his attempts at making buddies with the Press Corps, makes a comment about it. It went something like this:

Bush: You're wearing sunglasses?
Sunglasses: Yes, sir.
Bush: The folks at home don't know what a sunny day it is.
Sunglasses: That depends on your prespective.

The man's wearing sunglasses because he's blind. He's a reporter for the LA Times and he's blind and the President made fun of the glasses on the telly and to the man's face.

Jesus Herbert Walker Christ...
