Scary

Turns out my mom's favorite Doctor Who (Tom Baker, the fourth one) looks a little bit like my first boyfriend!


(Ignore everything but the hair and nose in above pic)


(This could actually be him)

Could you use it in a sentence?

Me: I should've curled my bangs pre-picture ugh >(
Reborn Optimist: >)
Reborn Optimist: But they look so 60s right now
Reborn Optimist: Like Feist
Me: They're fun!
Reborn Optimist: They have a certain torpor when they're not curled.
Reborn Optimist: In a good way

Dawn of the Plants

There is finally some stuff growing indoors! I loosened the soil, watered it a WHOLE lot, and planted new seeds:



Additionally, check out this totally happening Ipomopsis party:



Yes, there's a cocoon on the big one.

Also, congratulations Me for learning two new words today:
sluice - noun
1) an artificial channel for conducting water, often fitted with a gate (sluice gate) at the upper end for regulating the flow.
2) the body of water held back or controlled by a sluice gate.
3) any contrivance for regulating a flow from or into a receptacle.

torpor - noun
1) sluggish inactivity or inertia.
2) lethargic indifference; apathy.
3) a state of suspended physical powers and activities.

Also also also, witness Rise of the Bangs: working title, "A Little Something For My Internet Stalkers". The lovely Diva herself cut them for me.

You can't go back now, Zatham. Once you see them, they can see you.

Walking (Dead) on Sunshine

OK; I have to make an emotional, icky feelings post.

I've spent the last few years of my life, mostly being depressed. But I think I'm starting to feel a little better now, and at peace. I don't believe there's such a thing as too much love, but I do believe in misdirected love. And there's reached a point where I'm out of bad things to go back to... all that's left is to start working on something. Continuing to mope is just too much work.

Now that my life has some sense of direction, watch me get run over by a car. It would make a nice Night of the Living Dead tribute ending.

Speaking of which . . .

At Diva's house, watching Night of the Living Dead:

Zombie attacks the windshield! Onoes!!!1
Barbara puts her hands up on the inside of the windshield, moving them around rapidly.
Diva: What the Hell is she doing? "I can't see you; I can't see you; if I can't see you you're not there!"

Post of the Living Plants

OK, cool, everything seems to be alright. Hey, wait a minute.. on the other side..



Why is that spiky thing trying to grow in my Cornflakes? Let me tell you something about growing in somebody's Cornflakes: it's a weird way to eat Cornflakes.

Edit: I had a nightmare later that that spiky plant was a baby Venus Fly Trap.

A Joke

"You ever hear the joke about God and the necrophile?"
"No."
"Why'd the necrophile go to Heaven?"
"I don't know," she said. "Why?"
"He heard God was dead."

Words of Wisdom

...from the original Doctor Who series:

Susan has just been offered a ride home
"No thanks... I like to walk alone in the dark. It's mysterious."

"You're afraid!"
"Afraid? Go away."

"Without meat, we go hungry. Without fire, we die."

"There were leaders before there was fire, and fire will kill us all in the end."

They are trapped in a cave and feel air coming from somewhere
"It's only a small opening."
"Don't count on it."
"You obviously are."
"Well of course I am!"

Caveguy: He killed the old woman. This is the knife he used.
Doctor Who: This knife has no blood on it.
Caveguy: ... It is a bad knife! It does not show the things that it does!

"I must hear more things to remember. The leader would have things to remember."

"I remember how the meat and fire joined together!"

The ice...

Christopher Walken: Tomorrow.. on the way to work.. you're gonna buy a cup of coffee..
Guy: Yeah?
Christopher Walken: Then.. you're gonna hail a cab..
Guy: Uh-huh? Does the cab crash?
Christopher Walken: No.. you're gonna leave the coffee in the cab!!

Sharp is Death, Who Comes Like an Earring.

I got some unique earrings today:



From left to right and then down: Skulls with pretty hair, my skulls in shining armor (actually they might be wearing crowns), skulls with roses around their heads, and Sir Grim Reaper himself.

Also, watch Christopher Walken make chicken with pears! There's a cat at the end.

The Ultimate Truth

. . . Everything in the universe eventually becomes funny.

Why?

Everything is either funny, or not funny.

Once something is extremely not funny, however, it proceeds to become funny because of not being funny. Whether something is funny or not funny, it still ends up somehow being funny in the end.

I sure hope it's an ipomopsis, because that's what I planted.





Whatever it is, I grew it from scratch.

Christopher Walken Hosted SNL

From Indoor Gardening Tips from a Man Who's Very Scared of Plants...

Christopher Walken: These are my cactuses... I put googly-eyes on them... A lot of people are putting googly-eyes on their cactuses nowadays... I think it's because cactuses are dangerous.
. . .
Christopher Walken: These are my ferns... I put googly-eyes on them also... Most people don't put googly-eyes on their ferns... I do... I got the idea off my cactuses because I like to feel comfortable around all my plants. Ferns don't have pricklers like cactuses, but what if they all ganged up; tried to choke you in your sleep? If enough of these ferns lodged themselves down your throat, you'd choke. Probably not gonna happen but, what if it did? What do you think your last thought would be? Mine would be, "I always knew it was gonna be the ferns."

Statuemania

These statues were just plain odd.


That statue has a large penis.


I thought this sign said "Except butts" but it probably just says "Except buses".


This Ian sounds like a cool guy.

Necronomic-Con 2008 & Keyboard

Baby Ipomopsis

Only two of these things are sprouting up so far. Maybe I shouldn't have dumped the whole package of seeds into one flowerpot? They seemed so small... :\

Spooky Little Girl

In the cool of the evening
When everything is gettin' kind of groovy
I call you up and ask you
If you'd like to go with me and see a movie

First you say no, you’ve got some plans for the night
And then you stop, and say, all right
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you.

You always keep me guessin',
I never seem to know what you are thinkin'
And if some fellow looks at you,
It's for sure your little eye will be a-winkin'

I get confused, 'cause I don’t know where I stand
And then you smile, and hold my hand
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you.

Spooky! Spooky! Yeah - yeah

If you decide
Someday to stop this little game that you are playin'
I'm gonna tell you all
That my heart's been a-dyin' to be sayin'

Just like a ghost, you’ve been a-hauntin' my dreams
So I'll propose... on Halloween
Baby, love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you.
