7400 - Fannie Flagg says *PATOOTIE* (and other quotes)

[scottobear]

Wicked amounts of rain are coming and going lately. It killed power to my apartment last night for about 15 minutes, and was roaring in the late afternoon.

Incense smells better during a rainstorm. I'm more sleepy. Newt is more lovey, too. Everyone wins!

Haven't shaved this week. I may go for full-beard mojo again.

It took a woodchuck to remind me how hot Audrey Landers was, back in the day. Thanks, Gene Rayburn!

Speaking of Match Game, I always preferred the red circle to the green triangle player logo. I'd have been happiest with a green circle.

Apparently I like shapes more than colors.

Things I shouldn't have to yell at Newt at 6am - "DON'T STEP IN THE CAKE!"

Em has "WHT" tattooed on one hand's finger-joints, and "EVER" on the other. I thought it was "WHT / POWER"(only saw the VER) for a minute. I wonder if her southern accent colored my guess? till sort of a silly thing to have written on your mitts.

She's also got her tongue and lower lip pierced.

I've mentioned this before, but it seems like I now know more women with ink than without it... maybe by a ration of 3:1 or so. It seems like tattoos are more a girl thing now than a boy thing.

Quote of the Day:

"Give me an underground laboratory, half a dozen atom-smashers, and a girl in a diaphanous veil waiting to be turned into a chimpanzee, and I care not who writes the nation's laws." - S.J. Perelman

Via Patton Oswalt -

I walked down to the gas station to buy a bar of soap earlier, and the girl at the counter said all the soap had been shoplifted that day.

"For real?" I asked.

"Oh, they do it all the time. They cut it up into little chunks, and sell it as counterfeit meth."

I said, "Doesn't that get them killed?"

"Yeah, lots. There's stories about it on the news all the time."

Hoo boy.

Moment of Lyric:

I see a bad moon rising,
I see trouble on the way,
I see earthquakes and lightnin'
I see bad times today

So don't come 'round tonight
It's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

I hear hurricanes a-blowin'
I fear the end is comin' soon
I fear river's over flowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin

So don't come 'round tonight
It's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

Hope you have got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye

I'm sure I've posted some Dead here and there! :D

Sugar Magnolia is one of those songs that keeps poppin gup on my playlist.

[wickenden.livejournal.com]

do you find that people comment and provide the song name often?

d.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

not too often. folks comment more if I include a link to an mp3, but usually, the song title is in the "current music" field. :)

[wickenden.livejournal.com]

"It seems like tattoos are more a girl thing now than a boy thing."

Yeah, I've noticed that too. I'm actually kind of glad now that I didn't get the tattoo I wanted as a teenager. Most of the people I meet are inked, so I feel special. :)

you're more rare now! and you didn't need to get stuck!

southern accent

so, what would you consider yours to be? I think that FL probably has a mishmash like CA

mine? I think mine is still western PA because anytime I hear someone that sounds like me is from there... and I haven't lived there in quite a few blue moons...

Peace

She sounds like a South Carolina sort of southern. It's a very pretty accent, actually... she can say Y'all and have it come out naturally.

Mine is a scary mismash of Massachusetts, Virginia, and a mild Midwestern Ohio-sort, depending on the words. depeneding on the word, my inflections are a little odd, but mostly, it's liek Massachusetts, except that I pronounce my "R" in a longer way.
