Idiot TV types

Link from harmonyfb...

There's a fucking insulting ad looking for witches, apparently to take part in some reality show (Wiccan Idol? Big Spellcaster?) for the Sci-Fi Channel.

The most ridiculous part is this:
We are specifically looking for people whose unusual lifestyle is incorporated into every aspect of their lives. The perfect witch looks the part, dresses the part and lives the part 24 hours a day.

Um... yeah. So pointy hats and broomsticks all round?

The response they're apparently emailing applicants manages to get even funnier/more offensive.

Shopping, etc

I hate shopping for clothes. Especially bras. Especially when I have to get measured up by one of my mother's friends, who has roughly the same qualms as my mother when it comes to hinting that I need to lose weight.

I liked the mad pointy bra that made my boobs look like huge pointy cones, but the risk of putting someone's eye out was too high. Tigger and Pouncer (TM connorbeast) will have to be content in being restrained by a plainer bra.

In funner shopping news, I got a new poetry book, making it three this week (this one's an anthology, the others were collections by e.e.cummings and Allan Ginsberg). Why did nobody warn me poetry is like crack?

My dad just made the bewildering request of "can you get the rail times on the internet?"
Me: Yes, but I'll have to look for the site.
Him: Oh, never mind, I thought they were just on the screen somewhere.
The hell? He thinks any piece of information I might need happens to be on my screen?

Off for a search for Kennedy pictures. I've seen so many anti-Kennedy/anti-W/K icons these last few days, I'm feeling the need to assert my love for my girl... (well, my 5th girl behind Darla, Lilah, Faith and Gwen)

Food spam

People in my life seem to be craving American food today. My dad wants a pretzel because he's never eaten (or seen) one and he wants to know what kind of mighty snack could choke an American president, while marymac wants a Twinkie so she can explode it in the microwave.

Personally, I'd love some s'mores so I could find out what the hell they are...

The Saturday... five

I had fun with the music meme, so I've cunningly modified it.

1. Name one movie you hate to admit you like.
Pocahontas. Shutup.

2. Name two movies that always make you cry.
1. American Beauty (I cry my heart out for about the last ten minutes: it's one of those movies that makes me just ache for every character)
2. It's a Wonderful Life.

3. Name three movies that turn you on.
Hmm.
1. Thelma and Louise - Brad Pitt :fans self:
2. Dirty Dancing. I know his hair's atrocious. Again, shutup.
3. Rebel Without a Cause.

4. Name four movies that always make you feel good.
1. The Emperor's New Groove - hugely underrated Disney movie that's clever and meta
2. 10 Things I Hate About You
3. Grease
4. Monsters Inc

5. Name five movies you couldn't ever do without.
1. Lord of the Rings
2. Moulin Rouge
3. The Shawshank Redemption
4. Fight Club
5. American Beauty

GIP!

Look at my Kennedy go.
