- 14:04 The point of a scholarly essay is to make sure your writing can be understood by as few people as possible. #
- 14:05 Not only must you use big words, you must use them in combinations no-one imagined possible. #
- 14:07 Only 1 adverb? What kind of subliterate moron are you? You need at least 3 or 4 in there! Don't forget, verbs can be nouns! #
- 14:10 When in doubt, you can always invent longer versions of existing words. #
- 14:11 It's not an "instance," it's an "instantiation"! It doesn't "demonstrate," it's "demonstrative of"! #
- 14:12 Remember, more words = more intelligence. Science has proven it. #
- 21:34 Still on Blakes7 season 1. Love those cute hoodies they wear when they beam down... sorry, teleport down. #
- 21:43 These must be the guys who got kicked out of Imperial Stormtrooper school for being too stupid #
- 21:54 This is the exact same sardine factory they blew up last episode. #
- 23:07 This is the most impregnable fortress ever, nothing at all like those two other suspiciously identical sardine factories that got blown up #
- 17:32 AAAA NOOOOO. My Tachikawa School Pen is BORKED. What happened? It was working fine last night, and now the ink isn't flowing! #
- 17:33 What am I gonna do? I loved that pen, I can't go back to Micron Pigmas! GAME OVER, MAN, GAME OVER~ #
- 17:40 @tintinpantoja Yeah it uses cartridges. I stocked up on extra cartridges but didn't think to stock up on extra nibs. ;__; #
- 17:44 @plsburydoughboy Cartridges I have. I'm pretty sure it's the nib that's the problem though. :( #
- 18:04 Ok, I seem to have got it working again. On that note, fountain pens produce a really cool swirly black pattern when dipped in water. #
- 20:38 Julie Kavner was in a movie on HBO. Had no idea who she was until she started speaking off-camera and I heard Marge Simpson. #
- 15:37 @AlexandraTrese Dean Benitez was my great-grandfather. :) Maybe I should go there and try to meet him. #
- 06:15 @colbyfromage Eee I'm excited! #
- 17:29 @chockwit Cute site! Though a few of these "facts" I remember as Far Side jokes: bit.ly/8sNGCr #
- 20:35 LOL RT @para_maiba: Sorry, Ne-Yo, but every time I see your poster outside Shang Mall I'll always think "Eye-Mo." #
- 11:54 @anaquino WOOHOO! :D #
- 11:55 @plsburydoughboy I think all of those would be better with "darling" or "sweetie" instead. Then everything would sound like AbFab. #
- 12:46 "Inside of me, *inside of me*, there is a thin person just screaming to get out!" "Just the one, dear?" #greatquoteswithdear #
- 14:09 Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say "yes, dear." #greatquoteswithdear #
- 14:15 I did it thirty-five minutes ago, dear. #greatquoteswithdear Wow, that does make it better! #
- 15:26 bit.ly/aDPz4q I'm sorry but seeing something like that floating overhead, my first thought would be "somebody call NERV, stat!" #
- 15:51 @laurbits Floating thousands of feet high in a ominously-shaped fortress filled with hydrogen gas = not my idea of a relaxing vacation. #
- 10:36 RT: @chockwit: in "The King and I", no one's head was allowed to be above the King's. Imagine if PGMA adopted THAT rule. #
- 11:47 Visited my kitty again at the vet this morning. She seemed much better and had done some remodelling. #
- 11:48 They'd given her folded towel to sleep on and box of shredded newspaper to pee in. She moved the box on top of the towel and slept in that. #
- 11:49 Shades of the Princess on the Pea? She can't have just one mattress. #
- 12:22 It's ridiculous how much I want one. RT @pantslesscat: Steampunk laptop. is.gd/7AOQZ #
- 12:43 "blossomed into an avalanche of literary gems." Mixing metaphors is like cooking rice w/ one foot on the brake and the other in the clouds. #
- 15:40 Yes! Nationalism is indeed a rich and tasty nut! Wait, what? #
- 12:36 Back at office, I find everything covered in fine layer of dust for some reason. Now can't stop thinking of that Sapphire & Steel episode... #
- 12:36 ...and wondering if I've been shunted forward 12 days without noticing. #
- 12:59 @innocentlyjaded It's a wonderfully weird show. ^^ So what's the "real" story behind the dust? #
- 13:05 Aha, supposedly Batanes is one of the 10 "best-governed" provinces in the country. I can believe it. #
- 14:29 @laurbits Kokoro de mitsumeteiru~ #
- 17:54 Don't tell my mother, but sometimes I think the single most useful part of my Miriam education was my 1st year high school typing class. #
- 17:59 Actually, scratch the "Miriam" part. Single most useful part of my education, period. :D #
- 18:00 @para_maiba I think we might have been the last batch to have it. Dunno if the kids now learn typing on computer keyboards. #
- 18:14 Right, I'm out. Got to check on my baby who's at the vet right now. #
- 19:24 Back from Batanes. Quite a place. Like New Zealand sandwiched between lots of beaches. Also, cows, everywhere. And goats. EVERYWHERE. #
- 04:00 Taking off for Batanes in a few hours. Back after the weekend. #
- 16:20 RT @chockwit: LOL @ ABS-CBN RT @divasoria: puppy love? bit.ly/aordW0 (via @ageofbrillig) #abscbnFAIL #
- 16:26 @chockwit "All Along The Watchtower"? What are you talking about? I don't hear any music. #signsyouareacylon #
- 16:49 From TimesOnline style guide: "shall", "should": keep up the vigorous defence of these against the encroaching "will" and "would." #
- 16:49 LOL. I hear it in the voice of General Melchett from Blackadder Goes Forth. #
- 16:53 Also from TimesOnline style guide: "share a joke" - banned in captions on photographs showing people laughing. #
- 16:57 Another one: "shoo-in" not "shoe-in", if you have to use this American phrase. #
- 16:59 Yes, apparently I do find style guides an endless source of entertainment! #
- 20:42 The Gladiator one still gets me every time. RT @chockwit: 10 Movie Scenes That Make Guys Cry: bit.ly/771OmZ #

- 10:21 @plsburydoughboy I think formspring has the option for anonymous posting. #
- 11:32 @para_maiba I love that video so much. "It started out as Hogwarts, now it's Lord of the Flies~" #
- 12:11 @para_maiba I'd seen it somewhere before but it always brings hilarity. :D #
- 16:08 Wisteria vs. Wistaria: bit.ly/4fX4s God I love ultra-pedantic spelling debates (no, I'm not being sarcastic). #
- 22:03 AAAAAH. Wes Anderson's The Fellowship of the Ring. bit.ly/bzPu7G If only they could get Anjelica Huston as Galadriel! #
- 20:34 I always forget which Williams sister is older, Venus or Serena. Came up with mnemonic: Sailor V started her career before Sailor Moon. #
- 01:03 @serenityfails I can't keep famous tennis players straight in my head, but anime characters NO PROBLEM. It's rather sad. #
First up: Sapphire and Steel. This is probably a lot more long-winded than it should be, because I seriously don't know anyone who will geek out about this show with me (even
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
festive_gray fell asleep when I tried to make him watch it). ( Some background. )( One inch, you; this picspam, a thousand million miles. It's very very big, and it's very very dangerous. )
Future screencap dumps will probably include The Prisoner when I get around to rewatching it, and that Genji Monogatari anime from last year.
- 03:05 @trappuccino I think it's the translucent Photoshop-oval speech balloons that do it. #
- 09:56 @laurbits What scene was it? #
- 11:40 @laurbits Sounds like fun homework. :D I remember doing some El Fili illusts for a class presentation. Simoun ended up bishounen. #
- 12:40 Whoa, I didn't know Lenny Henry was married to Dawn French. Do all British comedians marry other British comedians? #
- 06:24 @serenityfails Going to hold off checking out comic until I've seen more of cartoon. I'm sure it's a lot weirder. #
- 20:21 WHY DOES FIREFOX KEEP CRASHING. I'M NOT DOING ANYTHING. #
- 22:31 icanhascheezburger.com/2010/01/22/funny-p
ictures-scarlett-forget-ashley/ So cute, but somehow I can't picture Rhett Butler as a lab. # - 23:56 Based on @lionschmion rec, watched Cybersix ep 1. No idea what the heck I just watched but I think I like it. #
- 22:47 "Digestive biscuits" is the name of a food that tastes a lot better than it sounds. #
