we're sending our love down the well

Watching television with the parents can be interesting sometimes. If it's not Biblical dramas acted by Middle Eastern people, subtitled in English and dubbed in Hindi, it's informational programs on How Things Are Made. With different segments on different products, which results in:

DAD: i designed pipes for paper mills JUST LIKE THAT <3<3<3
MOM: look at that SWEET BUTTONHOLE ACTION on those jeans!!
ME: OMG such pretty jewel colours on that candy OMG

And then they showed computers, and everybody lost interest, and I watched Much More Music instead, and they were showing Videos With A Conscience. First up was "Sun City" by Artists Against Apartheid, so I spent most of it giggling at Bono and his overemoting and his funny hairstyle. Then it was "Give Peace A Chance" and although dear Cyndi Lauper and Tom Petty were in it, I was mostly just staring adoringly at Sean Lennon and thinking, "Sean Lennon:John Lennon = Harry Potter:James Potter". And then I cursed all you HP people, because that's just good fun. And then the video "Tears are Not Enough" by the Northern Lights came on, and while I laughed at Anne Murray's orange pantsuit I thought fondly of how much mockery chootoy and I have directed at this video over the years. It has Corey Hart and Geddy Lee! And Joni Mitchell doing an interpretive DANCE!! Whoo hoo!!

In closing, I am now responsible for twofisted. Yes, that's right -- it's along the same lines as valiumbitch and ride_it, but will be nowhere near as clever or prolific because I am LAZY. And unoriginal. Hah! Many thanks to Capp for letting me play in her universe. *g*

OMG! That makes me so happy! I've been wishing Chris had his own LJ in that universe, because he so needs to be heard from.

I have faith that you will do it justice. Heh.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Hee! I am VERY happy to hear that, because valiumbitch and ride_it are so very cool already and coming in on the heels of that is daunting, to say the least!

Channel the critter, baby. Really looking forward to seeing your his posts!

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Hee! It's kind of fun keeping a journal for a whole 'nother person. We shall see how it turns out!

Eeeee! A Chris pseudo-LJ! It's almost as exciting as jewel colored candy. ;)

Nothing is as exciting as jewel-coloured candy, unless it's jewel-coloured JEWELRY. Uh, that didn't make sense. But thank you. *g*

Twofisted! hee! I'm sure it will be hysterical.

And I LOVE shows about How Things Are Made, especially if they feature automated assembly lines. mmmmmmmm, assembly lines. So soothing to watch things go flying by!

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Assembly lines are the BOMB. Not that I'd want to be part of one, because I think I'd rather kill myself, but looking at them sure is neat!!

How Things Are Made! I love that show. I once watched a similar program that showed how candy was made, and came away with a fierce hankering for Hot Tamales. Candy that can peel off a layer of skin with each bite = mmmmmmm.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Yesyesyes!! How they tumble the candy in those circular drums and pour the flavouring and citric acid over them!! mmmmmm, citric acid....

But not, the best is:

"Yeah, I like donkeys. Especially talking donkeys. Those are good."

He seriously was. And then he PROMPTLY lost all interest in life when the segment about the jeans came on and mom started nattering about sewing. ahahahahahaha!!!

Ain't nothin' better than a DONKEY THAT TALKS.
