"you are destined for notsogreat and unfortunate TV shows..."

Today as I was ordering a salad for lunch, I forgot the word crouton. I kept thinking, cube, croissant! as I floundered verbally, and finally had to point at the crouton box at the salad bar for the benefit of the guy who was making my salad. Of course, now I am convinced I have early stage Alzheimer's and if I am eating jello in an institution in 6 months you'll say you knew me when. Or you'll say, "what's the diff, THI?"

Anyway.

A faithful reader sent me a link to this:

So 300 + Gladiator x slow-mo blood + scene-chewing actors + gratuitous nudity + implied lesbianism = New Sam Raimi/Rob Tapert project. Of course, Lucy Lawless is in it and she's supposed to get naked (with or without...a pube wig...I'm thinking, what the hell kind of crazy landing strip does she have down there?) so of course I'm screwed and I have to watch the stupid thing.

I've been doing that for years; I blame, in order, grad school and television, with a side order of "did you know most English-speakers employ 50,000 different words on regular basis? That's insane!"

Which means if you want to keep intersectionality and heteronormative, you have to give up regular access to crouton and congeal (which I forgot briefly yesterday).

But will there be a "snails and oysters" scene, I wonder?

Hahah, does anyone even have Starz? I didn't even think that channel still existed. I've had many TV obsessed friends and none of them have ever paid for Starz. I thought it was a premium movie channel? Are they getting into the original series business now? I guess they figured if Showtime could do it badly, so could they.

Wow. So, where does this theory about Lucy's pubes come from? Are there advance promo shots or something? (A girl can dream, can't she?)

This show looks terrible. That slow motion blood thing was only half cool the first time, but if you use it over and over and over and over... I mean, really now. Get more than one effect, you guys.

Since I'm so much older than you I can report -- you're on the slippery slope now, my dear. It's annoying as fuck but there you have it. And anyway, it is a toasty little cube.

forgot the word crouton

I do that all the time. Especially if I'm tired or stressed. You absolutely should have called it a toasty little cube. Somehow I've developed the habit of spitting out nonsense syllables and flailing my hands to compensate. I'm particularly fond of substituting the word "boinger" as a catch-all, too.

what the hell kind of crazy landing strip does she have down there?

Well honestly, could it be worse than Vampire Bats? No. And I know you watched that so there's a win right there. RT and his homoerotique leather fetish shall rise again!

Today I was joking with some coworders about how I was clearly a polymath for some reason or other but right when I was about to say it, the word was gone. Instead I was like, 'Yeah, I'm one of those, um, hmmm..those old timey people who are really good at everything, what's the word?'. Polymathic fail.

Starz?
*sigh*
Yet another show I'll have to watch at the computer / wait for dvd.
(Looks f'n AMAZING though!)
Does this mean Rob gave up on Legend of the Seeker? (Must check website.)
*sigh again*
And I thought my attention span was short.


Oooh, shiny.

croutons are over-rated, and difficult to spear with a fork.

My brain lost a good chunk of its memory capacity each time I gave birth, I reckon. My substitute word of chioce whenever it fails me is "dubri". My friends and I use that rather a lot. And croutons - nice until they get sogy, which they do far too fast.

That "Blood and Sand" epithet (is that the right word? Probably not) for Spartacus makes me lol. The cliche quota is wallowing close to sardonic right there. Tapert's fetishes for leather, slow-mo and girl-snogs... ha!

I don't have your sordid past with The Lawless, which is a blessing and a curse. The blessing: I see images of a half-naked LL and think, 'it's time to re-read The Secret Histories' rather than 'oh fuck, I have to watch some terrible fucking show for maybe thirty seconds of LL a week'. The curse: no sordid past with LL to mutter about (soused) at a dyke bar.

Heather makes the best toasted bread cubes ever.

And now I'm just interested in the pube wig because... wow. H thinks she's gone Brazilian ;)
