I want to see a double feature of Stripes and Spies Like Us. [livejournal.com profile] wjukknibs, you up for it some time?

Attended my cousin's Baccalaureate Mass. I didn't know where my relatives were, though, so I ended up way at the back, alone. But they, and most importantly my cousin, saw me. I won't be able to make her graduation tonight, so I'm glad I made it to this. I do still have to find an 8th grade graduation gift for her, though. And I may need to mail order it. Oh well, she can get a card in the meantime.

I'm ambivalent about the interview meme that's been going around. I find the questions to be interesting, but the answers I can usually take or leave. In instances like this, inertia takes over; I'll stay out of it unless I find myself in it.

I find my mind to be very very active recently. Go figure.
tablesaw: "Tablesaw Basics" (Manual)

There's a Geek Test floating around, available at innergeek.us. I scored around 56.5%, earning me the rank of Extreme Geek. Were I able to submit my score, this would, apparently place me among the Top Ten Geeks. Finally, my broad yet shallow base of geekitude has paid off.

There's also some silliness involving the otherwise worthless ljmatch site. My results shall remain hidden.

I'm hiding! )

I wrote a little ditty in [livejournal.com profile] starkyld's journal. I liked it so much, I thought I'd reprint it here, for the masses.

"Hate my life!" "Windows 5UX0R5!"
All the strife, all the hucksters.
We're reading along,
Although it feels wrong,
Surfing in a journal wonderland.

No more posts from the [livejournal.com profile] bluebird;
Read the hosts from the new [personal profile] bird.
She writing about shoes
And getting the blues
Somewhere in the journal wonderland.

In our weblog, we can post a lyric
Or another quiz you gotta try,
Or show how your masturbation's pyrrhic
Since doing it will make a kitten die!

Later on, we'll hit random,
Stumble on someone's fandom,
Then follow along
Der sturm und der drang,
Surfing in a journal wonderland!

I, as a clerihew,
Tend to be merry; too
Merry, it might, perhaps, by some, be claimed;
But I'm sure that these people are wrong, and need to be grievously maimed.
What Poetry Form Are You?

I ought to finish my clerihews before the end of the year. Perhaps.

Coming fast on the heels of International Talk Like a Pirate Day comes the American Library Association Banned Books Week. It does not seem coincidence that the two dovetail together so closely; both are noble causes dedicated to the freedom of expression.

Fortunately, there were no books of a piratical nature on the list of the ALA's list of the 100 most frequently challenged books of 1990–2000 or of the 10 most frequently challenged books of 2001. There are some old favorites like Huckleberry Finn and Catcher in the Rye, along with the new darling of the book banners, J.K. "I-Am-Making-Your-Child-Worship-Satan" Rowling. Also note number 88 on the Top 100 list: Where's Waldo? by Martin Hanford. Um, sure.

There's not a whole lot to say about banned books that hasn't already been said, so I shall end now, asking you to consider, for the week, the Librarians' Motto:
Information wants to be free. And it also wants to be returned on time in the same condition in which it was borrowed. Ye mateys.

I was invited to a party on Saturday, but I don't know when. Better get in touch with my friend, assuming she's back in town. It'll be a busy weekend overall. There's the party on Saturday and a baptism on Sunday, and before the baptism, I'm plan on walking from work over to the new Our Lady Queen of Angels Cathedral to attend its first Sunday Mass.

I've requested time off on October 1 and 2. This will be the time for me to move into my carriage house. I am so excited.

Feeling kind of lonely, right now. Part of this is psychical energy absorbed from a some friends' bad situation, but it's been a while since my last relationship. Sigh.

Later on the Kevin and Bean show, they played a clip of outtakes from Anna Nicole Smith's movie Skyscraper. Here's the director trying to cue Smith with her lines as a helicopter pilot.
Director: "I'm heading eastbound, leaving your airspace."
Smith: I'm east now, leading your hair space.
Also, I thought I'd mention this very special Harry Potter Quiz. Sorry, my results are secret.

Dear anyone who gratuitously adds the "z" sound to any word:

Please say the following sentence:

An odd meme has been going around among [livejournal.com profile] kissaki and her slashfic friends about Goth haiku. This is fun so far as it goes, but joke haiku is for wussies.

Now here are some limericks lyrical
About subjects dark and vampirical
They may involve Magick,
But they aren't too tragic.
In fact, they are rather satirical.

A young Anne Rice fan was ecstatic
And watched TV in the west attic
Because a friend told her
An antenna holder
Would help the girl to get "Lestatic".

The Vampyres rejected a Goth
Who'd draped herself all in black cloth.
She was built like a wisp,
But she had a bad lisp.
She left saying, "Hey, it's your loth."

The Potter-slash Goths are much worse, see.
They always use words that sound curse-y.
They hate Sleater-Kinney
And cloned little Ginny
To listen to "Sisters of Percy."


Maybe I'll try some Goth clerihew next.

On beyond "Tablesaw is"...

"Tablesaw isn't" happy because he doesn't have any friends, and his parents are worried about the many nightmares he's been having that are always about vampires.

"Tablesaw has" been toying with facial expressions in his line of farm animals.

"Tablesaw hasn't" found any proof that Carla is carrying Danny's baby.

"Tablesaw can" teach you the tricks of the bass fishing sport.

"Tablesaw can't" beat all 11 members of the Moldovan national football team at tennis.

"Tablesaw will" razzle and dazzle you with his flashy arrangements that are crowd pleasers!

"Tablesaw won't" get caught drinking in school again after facing the Principles Paddle!

Anheuser-Busch reminds you to meme responsibly.

So the deal is, you put your name into Google followed by "is" with the whole phrase in quotes and you get something like:

Tablesaw is the superstar of stationary tools.

But I was more impressed by this find:

Tablesaw got distracted by the unexpected peep show.

Aw. That was the saddest episode of the Powerpuff Girls ever.

As of now, I have fifty people lifted on my livejournal friends list. I promised myself a while ago that I wouldn't ever have more than that, so it's time to take stock. Everyone on my friends list is interesting to me in some way, so I thought others might be interested to know what I find so interesting. (Attention meme propagaters: consider this a challenge.)

A rundown of Tablesaw's LJ friends. )
tablesaw: -- (Default)
Many of my friends ([livejournal.com profile] veek, [livejournal.com profile] emshort, [livejournal.com profile] nothings, [livejournal.com profile] lipogram, [livejournal.com profile] storme, [livejournal.com profile] fourcoffees, [livejournal.com profile] sargent and [livejournal.com profile] orenr to follow) have been working on a meme called 101 Things. Some are enlightening, some are trivial, some are jokes, some are incomplete. But, despite the wonderful thought that many have put into them, I can't bring myself to do one of my own.

I could write a collection of trivial facts, but I'd get bored doing so, and I honestly can't imagine anyone else being very interested in them either. (I know this to be true. I started a list and got through about thirty before I realized how little I was writing.) On the other hand, I don't want to vomit up five score plus one revelatory pieces of information in one massive entry. To me, it just seems cheap. If I'm going to talk about my relationship with Ex, I want to give it its own entry, not sandwich it in between everything else in my life.

So I'm sorry, friends and gentle readers, but I'm just going to have to let this meme pass me by. If you wish to pelt me with 101 questions, I suppose that's fine, but for now, I'm just going to reveal myself as the spirit moves me.

I generally avoid quizzes and surveys, etc., but this quiz has piqued my interest because of the apparently large number of people who have completed it while describing how angry or otherwise upset they are that they are doing so. So here's the oddly-hated quiz. )
tablesaw: -- (Default)
[livejournal.com profile] swisscheesed started a quiz meme that's too good to pass up. It's more than just a listing of A challenge and a chance to be creative, more than just a quiz. (NB: The links are to Windows Media Soundclips at CDNow and may or may not actually have the same lyric used. They are only exist here to spread the joy of TNP.)

Answer these questions using the lyrics of just one band:
Band: The Negro Problem

1. Are you male or female?
A man who had that "Sting" thing happening.
2. Describe yourself:
Some guy with a book.
3. How do your friends feel about you?
Went and told my friends all about it.
They said "Boy, you crazy I reckon."
4. How do you feel about yourself?
You see, I'm happy! Happy! Happy! Happy! Happy! Happy!
AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
5. Describe your girlfriend/boyfriend?
We're sparring you see,
But not seriously,
She finds me entertaining.
Her terms are defined,
And her eyebrows are lined,
And I'm barely maintaining.
(Oooh! But I am.)
She's got me floating in space.
6. What would you rather be doing?
Everybody ought to have a daddy or a daughter
Who can take 'em on a magical time
To Disneyland in winter
To Disneyland in winter
When everyone else is gone.
7. Describe where you live:

If you come to Camelot,
Please make sure that you visit me.
8. Describe how you love:
Now when you are knee-deep in Aeneid's footnotes
And your eyes are closing,
I will take your hex out of context,
And we will stop this posing.
I am looking at the ceiling,
Thinking about nothing really.
So now you are waist-deep in pools of sleep,
And I am slowly knocking
On your trap door in the sun;
The river run along your stocking.
I am listening for the feeling,
Thinking about nothing really.
So come down now,
Remove your bandage
So I can see your damage
More than the Lord knows.
9. Share a few words of wisdom:
Wouldn't you like to know the Meaning of Everything?
Or realize there ain't nothing to know?
