May. 8th, 2020 11:44 pmBecause it is Friday, I'm permitting myself to stay up late. Watched part of The Princess Bride - got bored, because I've seen it one too many times, it's kind of dated, and I've read the book (which is so much better, really, it is, you should read the book - I'm not just saying that). And, it may just be me, by Carey Elwes is kind of stiff in it. Heresy I know, don't tell my cousins - they worship this movie. One has named her bulldog Princess Buttercup, and the other one has named her son after the romantic lead. My brother was a tad more creative in the naming department, he named his child after a Tree, and used the Cherokee name for Butterfly and Elephant. Yes, my family is the eccentric ones - and don't quite fit with the rest of them.
Twitter is amusing me tonight.
* General Hospital Fandom, the actor who plays the nemesis (Julian) of Sonny (the mafia boss) responded to a shipper who wanted a Julian and Carly (Sonny's wife) ship - July - "So, what you're saying is. You want Julian to die at the hands of Sonny?" LOL! [Ah soap opera shippers put all other shippers to shame. Honestly, you have not witnessed shipping until you've been on a daytime soap opera fan board.)

Any talk of atheism in the Marvel Universe is absolutely insane when one of the most prominent public figures in the world is literally Thor, the God of Thunder.

Why am I so weak for the thing where characters bicker and snipe at one another during sex? The whole “don’t you have something better to do with your mouth” line of pillow talk. IRL I’d kill a mofo with my bare hands, but in fiction?

Actually, I did - I punched a guy who would not stop sniping at me - it was 3 AM in the morning, I had class the next day, and I wanted to sleep - yet he kept criticizing in my ear like an errant fly. [It occurs to me that this may well be why I'm still single.]

OK. So this is way, way, way down on the list of problems. But I have noticed that being quarantined makes it a lot more difficult to give excuses for getting off a telephone call you don’t want to be on. “Where do you have to go?”
[I don't know my mother has become an expert - she tells me she has to go check on my father - who is literally sitting two feet away and starring at her. Or she has to grab the groceries. Or take my father for a walk to the mailbox and back.]
Oh, Joss Whedon is living with and dating a contemporary artist, Heather something or other. Found that out on Twitter. She's beautiful and does a lot of realistic self-portraits of herself nude. He also praised Neil Gaiman on adapting Princess Monoke for the screen. And doing the English translation. Which I found interesting, since I saw the premiere of that film at Lincoln Center back in the early 00s or late 1990s, and saw Neil Gaiman, Clare Danes, and someone else in person from far far away.
He's technically about my age but he looks ten years older. Interesting.
