lotus0kidAh, well, another week down. This weekend will be much more low-key than the last one- mostly cleaning, maybe some cooking, and for goodness' sake finally writing the other auction fic I've been avoiding. *sigh* If you're reading this, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
foxtoast, I haven't forgotten! I just need a decent muse to descend and give me a little direction. I dunno, have any of you guys seen "Brown Betty?" It's an episode of Fringe- a very cool episode that's a musical detective story told by a madman on drugs. Have I mentioned Fringe is kind of awesome? Well, it is. ... Well, it was, at that point. Now... I'm having some doubts. We'll see how the rest of this season goes, I guess. Anyway, to come back to the point, if you've seen the episode, and a prompt of some kind occurs or has occured to you, feel free to drop it off here. I've.. really got just this side of nothing.
Otherwise... oh! I got a raise! I'm not sure yet just what it will do for my finances- honestly, I'm trying not to get my hopes up. But yay money!
Also, after months of failed attempts, I finally managed to do something I've been trying to do for... well, months.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. *ba dum ching* I pass below this sign EVERY DAY, folks. And I've been waiting, just WAITING, for the right moment when I'd be at a red light in the front of the line so I could snatch up my phone and access the camera function and snap a decent picture. What I finally got the other day was a mostly crappy picture, which I made mostly a different kind of crappy when I futzed with it in Photoshop, BUT I DON'T CARE.

Oh, Mike Huckabee. There was a time when I respected you. Seriously, why do Republicans go completely nutty once they decide to run for President? I guess maybe they're always that nutty and it just gets more attention once they're running for the big stuff, but seriously.

I never really knew all that much about him, but I remember seeing him interviewed in places (almost definitely TDS), and he did seem like a reasonably intelligent, "aw shucks" kind of guy. I was wrong.

Date: 2011-03-05 03:32 am (UTC)Maybe they mention it in the commentary. I should give it a listen some day. Mm, I'll try and watch it...some day.
Yeah, seriously, he used to give off "I disagree with you, but I respect your right to think differently" vibes. Now, not so much.

Date: 2011-03-05 03:38 am (UTC)Is there a commentary? I haven't heard it. Maybe I got one of the early DVDs that didn't get all the special features.
*sigh* I don't even know, or care.
no subject
Date: 2011-03-05 03:46 am (UTC)I don't know, I figure there would be, but maybe not. It's not mentioned on the DVD box, at least.
Well, moderation isn't that big amongst the tea party members, and that's who most candidates are going to cater to before the primaries. I mean, I think.

Date: 2011-03-05 03:57 am (UTC)Hm, if it's not mentioned on the box, there probably isn't one. But I suppose you could check in the audio options if you don't see it in the bonus stuff. The commentaries for Shaun of the Dead hid from me for a long time before I fgured that out.
Ugh.

Date: 2011-03-05 03:59 am (UTC)I couldn't find one. Maybe one of the special editions has it, but I'm not investing that much money on it. I mean I love the movie, but...no.
Politics is fun...
no subject
Date: 2011-03-05 04:15 am (UTC)Boo. But yeah, they probably did release another edition with more special features, the jerks.
no subject
Date: 2011-03-05 04:22 am (UTC)Apparently there isn't one on the special two-disk DVD set, or the Blu-Ray. Huh.
no subject
Date: 2011-03-05 04:30 am (UTC)Oh well. I'd say the movie stands well enough on its own, I'm not sure what a commentary would add that I couldn't do without.
no subject
Date: 2011-03-05 04:34 am (UTC)Well, there's a lot of little details I'd love to get clarification about: the gun thing, whether V had any help when he was staging the Evey torture, and...I'm sure there are more. I mean it would be nice to have that kind of info, and the weird little set stories are always fun, but obviously I can do without it.
