| Reminder |
[02 Feb 2006|02:12pm] |
In case you didn't see it the first time...
I am now at midnightlynx.
To weed out defunct journals and people who just don't read me any more, I will not be adding anyone who doesn't add me first for a while. (With a few exceptions.)
And to update you on the wait time, I should have internet again and resume normal blogging some time next week.

|
| A New Beginning... |
[20 Jan 2006|01:17pm] |
I've decided to make a new LiveJournal.
This one will remain in existence as an archive of a previous self.
So please, everyone, go add midnightlynx to see the new me.
I'll be taking a break from posting in either for about a week or so to let people catch up to the switch without missing anything.
It shouldn't be too hard to resist for that long, considering my internet's down and isn't expected to return again for around a week. (Possibly more, but hopefully not.)
I'll talk to you all more then. Until then, be well.

The stupid!
It hurts!
Maybe it's just time to go to the end.
(And shut down on the way out.)
Edited to note: Watch the video all the way to the end. Trust me. The last few seconds are worth sitting through the psychopath.

The night I laid my eyes on you,
Felt everything around me move
Got nervous when you looked my way
But you knew all the words to say
Then your love slowly moved right in
All this time all my love where you been
(Chorus):
Mi amore dont you know
My love I want you so
Sugar you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet
Mesmerised in every way
Keep me in a state of daze
Your kisses make my skin feel weak
Always melting in your heat
Then I soar like a bird in the wind
Oh I glide as I'm flying through heaven
(Chorus X4)

| Stella Awards |
[16 Jan 2006|03:41pm] |
The Stella Awards are named after 81 year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled hot coffee on herself and successfully sued McDonald's (in NM). That case inspired the Stella awards for the most frivolous, ridiculous, successful lawsuits in the United States.
Here are this year's winners:
5th Place (3 way tie):
Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas, was awarded $80,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The owners of the store were understandably surprised at the verdict, considering the misbehaving little toddler was Ms.Robertson's son.
5th Place (tie):
19-year-old Carl Truman of Los Angeles won $74,000 and medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Mr. Truman apparently didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbour's hubcaps.
5th Place (tie):
Terrence Dickson of Bristol, Pennsylvania, was leaving a house he had just finished robbing by way of the garage. He was not able to get the garage door to go up since the automatic door opener was malfunctioning. He couldn't re-enter the house because the door connecting the house and garage locked when he pulled it shut. The family was on vacation, and Mr. Dickson found himself locked in the garage for eight days. He subsisted on a case of Pepsi he found, and a large bag of dry dog food. He sued the homeowner's insurance claiming the situation caused him undue mental anguish. The jury agreed to the tune of $500,000.
4th Place:
Jerry Williams of Little Rock, Arkansas, was awarded $14,500 and medical expenses after being bitten on the buttocks by his next door neighbour's beagle. The beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced yard. The award was less than sought because the jury felt the dog might have been just a little provoked at the time by Mr. Williams who had climbed over the fence into the yard and was shooting it repeatedly with a pellet gun.
3rd Place:
A Philadelphia restaurant was ordered to pay Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, $113,500 after she slipped on a soft drink and broke her coccyx (tailbone). The beverage was on the floor because Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument.
2nd Place:
Kara Walton of Claymont, Delaware, successfully sued the owner of a night club in a neighboring city when she fell from the bathroom window to the floor and knocked out her two front teeth. This occurred while Ms.Walton was trying to sneak through the window in the ladies room to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge. She was awarded $12,000 and dental expenses.
1st Place:
This year's run away winner was Mrs. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Mrs. Grazinski purchased a brand new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, (from an OU football game), having driven onto the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the drivers seat to go into the back & make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the RV left the freeway, crashed and overturned.
Mrs.Grazinski sued Winnebago for not advising her in the owner's manual that she couldn't actually do this. The jury awarded her $1,750,000 plus a new motor home. The company actually changed their manuals on the basis of this suit, just in case there were any other complete morons around.

Blame Canada! |

Many people are not aware the early United States invaded Canada during both the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.
But even fewer people know that the U.S. had a military contingency plan on file from the mid-1920s to 1939 involving invading Canada. It was known as 'War Plan Red', and has since been declassified. [more info]

Speaking of Flash animations with good Radiohead music, check out this Flash music video for Radiohead's acoustic version of 'Creep'.
Then go check out the animator's usual stuff a Low Morale.
Hooray for morbid office humor.

So I was watching The Crow with jojo222 and decided something.
Brandon Lee didn't really die on set.
He faked his death as a publicity move for the movie, and retired to a private island.
But he just couldn't stay away from the spotlight.
He needed something where he could have that fame, but not be recognized. he needed a part where nobody could see his face.
Then he hit upon the perfect plan...
He took over the role of Barney.

Was es ist Es ist Unsinn

Es ist aussichtslos

Es ist leichtsinning

Oh. Em. Gee.
The freakiest looking cat EVAR.
And it's from Oregon!
That news story was mentioned to me while I was already looking through a page of bizarre feline facial deformities featuring a picture of that same kitten. And some other really demented looking things.
Like the kitten born with three eyes and two muzzles -- both of which had cleft palates.
Or the cat with two fully functioning tongues.
Or the seven-eared cat.
Yay for genetic freaks!
(Actually, an awful lot of those are from Oregon. Hmm...)
If you're feeling a little creeped out now (and I know you are), listen to some angry-funny rants. Great stuff. (And he plays psy-trance in the background/intro. XD )
Not enough for you? (Or too much? *pets the cute li'l dial-up modems*)
Then you should read the best, and by far the strangest, review I've ever seen for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. (The new one.)
Ugh.
Sleeeeeep.

| Random Advent Children trivia! |

I was poking around looking for more information on an official US release of Final Fantasy: Advent Children, and apparently information is starting to trickle in at imdb.com on English language voice actors.
For instance, the 'wheelchair man' will be voiced by Wally Wingert. Which on its own probably means nothing to you. But if I told you he voiced for Invader Zim as Almighty Tallest Red?
Cid is played by Chris Edgerly, whose resume consists of a bunch of 'additional voices' credits and video game voice-acting. (He was the cat in the Cat in the Hat video game. Whee!)
Elena is Michelle Ruff, who was Kaori in Akira.
Barrett is Kevin Michael Richardson, who was Thadeus in The Animatrix: Final Flight of the Osiris, Ray Charles in the Family Guy movie... *AHEM*GoroInTheMortalKombatMovie*AHEM*...
And Reno...
(Wait for it...)
Boy George.
