Misc. Thoughts

[thehefner]

1.) Made it back from the Doctor's. The lumps are not, as I suspected but was maddeningly unsure, so that's fine, but he can't explain the other concerns, so we're gonna try antibiotics and see how that works and if it doesn't well come back and blah blah blah. So yeah, I can basically relax. Still, seeing this guy reminded me why I hate going to the doctor's. They make me feel like an idiot. I say, "Well, I saw something in my urine that shouldn't be in there," and he said, "No you didn't." "Uh, yeah I did." "No you didn't." OOoookay. Yeah.

2.) So over the course of two hours of radio listening, I managed to thrice hear some no-name wanna-be pop-punk band(s) cover of Queen/Bowie's "Under Pressure." Not a bad cover, per se, but it only served to remind me of two things I had almost forgotten in the years since I used to be a big Queen fan: 1.) how excellent the original song is, and 2.) how no one is fit to lick the shit off of Freddie Mercury's high-heeled sequin boots, much less attempt to cover him.

3.) I love comic books and superheroes. I just can't enjoy what most of them are doing at any given time. I feel like a snobby old fogey, but damn it, it just feels like comics are losing their heart, prefering cheap shock-value storytelling of killing off beloved characters and betraying continuity by turning others evil and just fucking things up. Sure, these books are very well written, but what's being written is just... unpleasant shit. That make sense? Makes me sad.

4.) Can't see SW:ROTS tonight, dash it all. Probably gonna hafta wait till after graduation or Monday. Piffle.

5.) My orange cat, Georgio, has an arch-nemesis. We call him Doppleganger, because that's what he is. Bizarro Georgio. They look exactly the same at a glance, only Bizarro is a bit whiter and fluffier. And they HATE each other. They've been getting into fierce battles for awhile now. Well, the other night, we heard a fight break out again. When my mother went outside to break it up, she found only Georgio, surrounded by tufts or orange hair (not his) everywhere, a chunk of orange fur imbedded in his mouth. Dude. My cat kicks his evil twin's ass.

6.) Anyone else ever appreciate the irony of double negative in the Pink Floyd song "The Wall"?

But he'd love for us to try.

he said, "No you didn't." "Uh, yeah I did." "No you didn't."

You didn't see it? Or it should be there after all? Without lab results he can't say one way or the other what's there.

That what I saw wasn't what I thought I saw, which may well be except I know what I saw, ding dang it!
...
Maybe I'll just explain it to you in person one of these days. It might make more sense and be less gross for everybody else that way.

6.) Yes. Very much so.

And go Georgio!

#2. The Used/My Chemical Romance - pissed me off a lot the first time I heard it and haven't heard it much since. Once it settles in that this exists and I must accept it, perhaps I might be ok with hearing it...

#6. Never thought about it...yes, very cool...perhaps some grammar education is warranted after all

i've been thinking about that irony since i was 6.

Doctors can be a real pain in the ass - or nuts, as the case may be. I had to go to the emergency room once when I was having an asthma attack. They told me I was fine because my blood oxygen was at 100%. I'm wheezing and seeing sparkles, and they tell me that basically I'm fine. Jerks.

6) No. Thank you. I have become rather cynical at the symbolism of The Wall and I'd like to think Pink Floyd was winking there.

Dude. Your cat *is* the evil twin. In fact, he's opened up a livejournal account named
cats_n_eviscerating.

Um... the link doesn't go anywhere, and yet if it's not real, wouldn't it come up as "Bad LJ user" or something? Which leads me to wonder, what the HELL HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO, SOPHIST?! ;p

In any case, you're a nut and I love you for it.

Heehee. It's from this adorable site. A normal LJ tag wouldn't work, but when you use their html, it's really a constructed lookalike, so it's visible.
