intertribal: (and now the prom king)

well, you may be a lover but you ain't no dancer.

Watched Kill Bill on Sunday before the Oscars.  The only problem: I really wanted Bill and Beatrix to end up together.  I did not want Beatrix to kill Bill.  I think this means I didn't get something. 


I should note that I generally do not go for unhealthy relationships.  I don't ship Clarice and Hannibal Lecter.  I actually tend to support very healthy (if flawed) on-screen relationships.  But god, they're just so equally fucked up.  What the hell is killing one of them going to do?  This is why I hate revenge.  But then again, I didn't really go for the whole "I'm a mother, and all I care about is my child" transition either.  Of course, I wouldn't know, but I don't think it's as simplistic as Tarantino makes it out to be.  It's not like she's even cognizant of giving birth to this child that she changes so completely for.  

Sigh.  Well, I've been enjoying the soundtrack to Lost Highway, at least.  It's so kooky and Western-ish.  We all know how I love the Neo-West.  It's what I like about Kill Bill too (the Asia parts = meh).  I've also been listening to the Across the Universe soundtrack.  It's made me realize that I like the Beatles' music - just not when they're the ones making it.  I like their lyrics and their basic melodies.  But I don't like their "style," I guess?  Then again, I've always liked Oasis' version of "I Am The Walrus" much, much more than the original.

Jesus Christ, they're having an all-military Wheel of Fortune and one of them guessed "African Samoa". 

African Samoa.

African Samoa.

What's the world coming to?  We don't even know our own colonies anymore!

maybe bad idea?

I've never had a Rockstar, but it sounds scary.

nooooo

haha, it's not so bad (pretty much the same as red bull, but tastes more like licorice or something). i'm just paranoid. i wouldn't recommend it as part of a balanced diet, though. there is too much shit in it.

basically 1 rockstar = okay, more = less okay, and don't operate heavy machinery or attempt strenuous exercise/excitement.

also, this looks promising: "Rats fed taurine exhibited bizarre behavior such as anxiety, irritability, high sensitivity to noise, and self-mutilations"

well, if you feel the need to self-mutilate, you know, stop and tell yourself "it's just the taurine."

LOL.

"A basketball player collapsed on the court and later died after drinking 4 cans of Red Bull before the game. Again, a definitive link between Red Bull and the death was not established."

clearly Red Bull = steroids.

how sad that the bb player felt the need to drink that much red bull to perform well, though.

haha, nah, it just keeps you awake.

he must've been really tired. and idiotic, because that's like drinking 8 shots of espresso, downing 8000mg of taurine and an assortment of vitamins and then expecting your body to be able to handle extreme physical exertion without obscene amounts of water...

well, all my sleeplessness was for naught, as steve didn't bother to show up for my meeting, asshole.

"I have no idea what happened. I had nobody down for that time, and two of you showed up. Somebody (*&(&ed up their schedule, looks like to me. Don't know who. Can't imagine, really. Perhaps a mechanical malfunction." -steve

So, Steve is a faulty Cylon.

uh, wow, i totally didn't get that he would have to be the machine for it to be a mechanical malfunction until you said that...i was just like 'huh? not a technical malfunction? weirdo...'

this may be because i am totally out of my mind right now. speaking of which, i was wrong, it was most definitely PMS

uh-oh, totally out of your mind? that ain't good. PMS is annoying, but Cosmo says to go on Zoloft to get rid of the symptoms. LOL!
