News, for whatever good it does
Monday, April 2nd, 2012 12:01 pmIt sounds like the neighbors will have to be gone within five business days.
Having trouble getting hold of the dealership to smooth out the loan problem, unsurprisingly. Jerks.
Been watching DS9 again, we're in the final episodes and the finale has started. Do I buy Ezri/Bashir? I guess, a little. I keep wondering what would have happened if Terry Farrell hadn't left the show. Also, O'Brien and Bashir are like a couple of old women at this point, it's hilarious. Particularly amusing interchange:
Bashir: So, as a hero, you just name anything, and we'll see to it that you get it!
NPC Ilario: Anything?
Bashir: *firmly* Anything at all, Ilario.
NPC Ilario: Well...actually there is something! I've always kind of wanted to go the holosuites with you and Chief O'Brien.
Bashir: *shocked tone* With us? to the holosuites?
O'Brien: Can't be done.
Bashir: Absolutely not.
O'Brien: I mean, you should go to the holosuites.
Bashir: Yes, of course.
O'Brien: But just, not with us.
Bashir: Mm-mm.
NPC Ilario: But--
Bashir: Anything else-- and we will see to it. See you later!
[And they go to the holosuite together]
We also watched Flight of Dragons, which is the other movie Rankin/Bass released in 1982 (The Last Unicorn is still my favorite. I liked the story better, I think). It was fun, but a little goofy. I did like steel-nipples knight guy, and the awesome archer lady with her shimmering red locks of hair.
All the ladies were weirdly cross-eyed in this one though! and the dragons were too goofy, but that was kind of neat in its own weird way.
The ending was depressing! Oh, but since the magic users' crowns were the source of their powers, I thought that was pretty hilarious. It reminded me strongly of the Ice King!
Which brought me back to Adventure Time. I've seen some amazing Adventure Time fanart, my favorite of which is the huge buff adult guy with a beard, dressed in Finn's cute bear-cap and shorts; but I still think it'd be more hilarious (and possibly appropriate) if one assumes that the Adventure Time style isn't simplified at all. After the Mushroom Wars and re-awakening of magic, Finn really does look like that-- with the weird beady eyes, and so on-- because humanity has been forever changed.
