From covenhouse_cat: "The Trouble With Tribbles," as done by Edward Gorey. Sheer, unadulterated brilliance.


Say, odd costume-related question: anyone here have a leather shoulder-holster for a pistol that I could borrow come Halloween? Preferably noir-ish and older looking, if you know what I mean.

Also, since we're talking outfit, methinks I should set up an appointment with my local optician to talk about the safety in wearing a special effect theatrical contact lens. Luckily, said local optician was one of my father's last remaining friends in the whole world that he hadn't pushed away, a dirt-rich businessman who sold and then later bought back Dad's beloved 1954 Rolls Royce Silver Dawn, so I know he'd treat me well.

Man oh man but I'm putting so damn much effort into this. If this all turns out as well as I'm hoping, I'd better have good quality photos taken! But this is good: it finally gives me a goal to which I can really commit getting in shape. Assuming Carolyn doesn't kill me first.

She's doing this as revenge for me checking out her ass between watching KIM POSSIBLE*, I know it is.

Which reminds me, the great justcomeinalone perfectly summed up the guilty pleasure appeal that is KIM POSSIBLE:

Seriously, it's like all the humor and confidence of Buffy but minus the over-dramatic angst and depressing self-reflection! And Ron and I would absolutely have hung out in high school.

And if She-Go were real, I'd totally crush on her.

You and me both, man. She has green skin (thus futhering kali921's irrefutable theory that green-skinned women are hot), Nichole Sullivan's voice, *and she can make Kirby Crackles with her hands.

But yeah, KIM POSSIBLE is everything that made BUFFY great, only without the stuff that I personally can't stand. It totally makes watching the frickin' Disney Channel worthwhile. Good sweet merciful Grodd, one of these days, I'm going to kidnap the entire casts of THAT'S SO RAVEN and HANNAH MONTANA and lock them in a room with the strictest Nazi-like method acting teachers I can find.

Oh, and from suburbfabulous, who simply titled this "WRONG":


Indeed, that really is sickening. How dare they trivialize the very serious and very real fact that Galactus is Coming?


The bowl of oatmeal and three egg whites wasn't so bad. At least not once I added a teaspoon of brown sugar and a pinch of cinnamon. On the downside, my mouth has felt slimy and egg-white-y all day.

By the way: throwing a glass of a Naked juice smoothie in a blender with ice and a dollop of Brown Cow nonfat vanilla yogurt equals taste awesomeness. Hmm... maybe with a shot of raspberry vodka...? No, bad diet-er! *smacks self with rolled up newspaper*

Wait- did you mix that together? Because...that doesn't sound too appealing.

HANNAH MONTANA, burn avec fire! Ugh. Remember when Nickelodeon used to air stuff like Pete & Pete, and Ren & Stimpy? That was made of win.

The oatmeal and three egg whites, you mean? That's what Carolyn told me to have after I work out. Or was it for breakfast? Shit, I'll need to ask her. Basically, I need way more protein in my diet to help achieve goal sexiness by late October.

Really, with the oatmeal, you don't really taste the egg whites, which I think is the point. You just get slimy (er) oatmeal. The bit of brown sugar and cinnamon helps, though.

Y'know, I predict Hannah herself is gonna be damn hot in a few years. I hope she gets acting lessons by that point. Because dear god, the whole of Disney Channel's live-action programming is "Mugging Hams TV."

The whole tween subculture is terrifying, just because of how huge it is, yet nobody knows about it. My regular movie geek site CHUD.com ran a story on Zac Efron's upcoming possibly GODS-AND-MONSTERS-esque Orson Welles movie. The title of the article was, and I quote: "WAIT... WHO THE FUCK IS ZAC EFRON?"

Have some whey? Make protein smoothies or something. It's what my boyfriend's brother is doing to go from "pole-thin, heroin-chic" to "actually looks like he eats". It seems to be working.


Speaking of Zac Efron and the horrors of tween subculture, there are naked pictures of his "High School Musical" co-star/girlfriend all over the internet today. Michelle Trachtenberg never did this shit.

There's nothing wrong with a teaspoon of brown sugar and a pinch of cinnamon. If they help you feel satisfied with what you're eating, season away! That's a minimal amount of sugar, and it'll keep you from feeling too deprived...which would lead to eating lots of v. bad things.

I'm very excited about the Halloween costume!

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Aye, that's how I feel about things too!

I truly hope I can pull it off in all the respects it deserves.

Method. Feh.

Method actors are a pain in the ass to manage.

That is all.

[icewolf010.livejournal.com]

Additionally, looking for a funny Christopher Walken quote on The Method, I found this interesting article.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm not a fan of method exactly, I just wanted to give an utter and complete shock to the systems of those mugging over-the-top hammy as fuck Disney tween and teen actors.

I'm talking Ludovico levels of dramatic rehabilitation here, if you get me.

The article is fascinating, and is very true, from what I know. Y'know, I dunno how much the Studio Theatre's methods are, well, Method, but in some ways, they've really helped me as a writer as much as an actor. But one way or another, on stage I'm a dyed-in-the-wool ham myself, just one who can turn it off when directed well.

Am stealing the Edward Gorey link.

I do that sometimes.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Liar! You already DID! :)

[adaptor.livejournal.com]

Oh, so you do read my journal, Mr. Hardly Ever Comment Guy!

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Hey now, Miss Awesome Jean Reno icon, I commented a couple times recently! YOU didn't RESPOND to my post about that awesome full moon! If you don't respond, what kind of incentive do I have to comment in the first place, huh?!

[adaptor.livejournal.com]

I got hit with a heat wave and could barely use my computer! And I think you know what kind of incentive you have.

So. When're you coming to explore the sights of D.C. again?

[adaptor.livejournal.com]

One day, my friend. One day...

That Edward Gorey tribble thing is straight-up caps-lock AWESOME.

Why does the Galactus look like a four year old kid who's manic for cheeseburgers?
