discus stu was talkin' to *you*
Being unemployed is weird. Sometimes I'm perfectly fine and energetic and do stuff that needs to get done, and then sometimes I'm depressed and all I want to do is sleep. Huh. Oh well, I seem to be normalizing now, so yes. Good.
In other news: Troy. I am reserving my movie-that-fucks-with-canon hatred for the hideous horribleness of Constantine and the "Guinevere's a tough warrior woman OMG grrl power YAY!!"...*thing* that is King Arthur, so I was free to like Troy. Which I did. Especially Odysseus, because a) he's Odysseus, b) he's played by Sean Bean, and c) I have happy memories of Homer Simpson playing Odysseus. Remember him crossing the River Styx? Good times, good times.
And randomly, I can't even begin to tell you how much I am in love with these shoes. I saw them in the mall and my heart stopped for a moment. Which is very unusual for me, because I don't feel that strongly about shoes on a regular basis, but, yes. mmmmmmmmm. Someday, my precious.

Oh God. Okay, when they MENTIONED the River Styx I started totally giggling and I think it was in a serious part and people were looking at me, but ALL I COULD THINK OF was Homer. And Styx. I really wished you were beside me!! ROFL.
$40!! I remember when you could get those for $20 at Woolco. Pennies had bees on them back then...
no subject
ahahahahahah!! I wouldn't mind seeing it yet again, and I noticed you're looking for somebody to go with. We should totally go see it this weekend! And giggle over all the Homer-related parts! And Paris going all Legolas!! hee!!

Is that true, or are you just teasing me? *g*
They were actually $60 at the store I saw them at. Le sigh!

Dude, I think me and Twig and Rae are going to an afternoon show downtown on Saturday. I'll make a filter and keep everyone posted! Because yes. Afterwards, I think we should go for MEAT!! Heh.
I also tied an onion to my belt, which was the fashion at the time
no subject
AHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHHAH!!!! And turkeys were called "walking birds" and bananas were called "yellow fatty beans"! aahhahahahaah!! Ohhhh, god. *is weak with laughter(
MEAT sounds good. It's been too long. *g*

If I knew your shoe size, you'd be getting an early birthday present, though. Because shoes rock, and I firmly believe in the value of buying anything that makes your heart thump. Life is too short not to have fabulous footwear.

You sweetheart. I adore you for thinking such a lovely thing. *mwah*
Don't you mean Discus Stu?
You're my LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
dude. You know I was reduced to a quivering puddle of fangirl as soon as Bean started speaking. And pretty much stayed that way throughout the whole movie. guh. He was, yes. mmmm...Beanalicious. And, really, I went into the movie expecting it to be pretty much *nothing* like the Iliad and, hey, they kept a few things the same (there was a big wooden horse, and the Greeks won, and...okay, that's about it, and those things weren't even actually in the Iliad, but, anyways), so I was all right with it. Plus, well. Bean in the leather mini-kilt and Bana in the sarong? mmmm...yesssss.
And the only way I would be happy with a remake of The Odyssey sans Bean is if it were Simpsonfied. Which has already been done so, dammit, give me more Odysseus!Bean!
and, yes, those shoes. Me want. Me want lots.
Re: Don't you mean Discus Stu?
I made embarassing noises everytime Odysseus was on-screen, man. It was like seeing Gandalf all over again. *g* But Lori was screeching over her beloved Spartans, so I think all-round it turned out okay. BEAN! I love his helmet SO MUCH!!!

I sometimes wish I lived up there or you lived down here. I do hope the hunt ends soon. Glad to hear there's a bit of stability happening.

Yes. YES. For most people on lj, I'm perfectly content with an online relationship and distance between us (not that I dislike them, but you know what I mean), but with you I really do wish we lived closer. Le sigh! *snug*

she said: it's not, idiot. And also, dude, Chris Thormann! Ends up in Troy! AHAHAHAHAHA!
then someone shushed us.)
Also, I've been watching my Gilmore Girls s1 dvds and remembering how much I used to enjoy that show. And thinking of you.
as in:
(on IM) sandy: rory's very upset right now. She needs Justin Timberlake.
sandy: sadly, he's with Hermione.
circusgirl: hee!
sandy: I just said that for two people who aren't even HERE.
Er. (also, any company would be blessed to have someone smart and together like you, man.)
no subject
You're not the only one who thought that. I was all, 'weh?'

ahahahah! That's so beautiful, and touching, in its own special Gilmorean way. Because if Justin can't be with Rory, he should be with Hermione. They are definitely the top two Fictional Girlfriends for him. *g*

Bean! He really is Britain's living sex bomb because HO-LEE with the hotness. Also, first thought upon hearing his voiceover? BOROMIR! Fandom, thy shame is Minette.
Those shoes are so neat. I think there's a camo version that I'm dying to get.
no subject
ahahahaha! That's exactly what I thought, too. Like, way to rile up the rabid LotR section of your audience right off the bat, Makers of Troy! Oh, he was so perfect for Odysseus I can't even properly make sentences about it. *loves*
I did notice that they had pink camo versions of the sneakers -- those are cute too! We deserve pretty pink sneakers, girlieo.

And man, I'm glad I'm not the only one who always thinks of Homer as Odysseus when they see Sean Bean in Troy. Because it all comes down to how Homer portrays literary characters. [grins]

So true! And I kept giggling inappropriately at the Horse, because of course -- whenever people get wood, they'll think of Trojans! ahahahaha!!!

Do you think there's a Bean Turning Point in every woman's life?

Best sight gag, ever!
So, that King Arthur thing isn't the *real* story like they're touting it? I wondered about that.
no subject
...of course, this doesn't mean I won't go see it. Just to hate. *g*
