Eve of xmas eve

[clevermanka]

Had an absolutely lovely, quiet, and peaceful Yule. Here's to more like it. Not much planned for the Other Holiday coming up this weekend with the exception of some unwrapping and eating. And now,

thefridayfive
1. What word irks you everytime you hear someone say it? Any adjective that's been "adjectified". Like asymmetrical. Or graphical. They sound too much like annoying business-speak made up words.
2. What is your favorite word? Again with the favorites. Sheesh.
3. What does it mean? Bah.
4. What word do you say far too often? Actually. I usually have to edit out at least three "actuallys" from each LJ entry.
5. Name three words you think other people overuse: Terrorist. Freedom. Liberal Media. Sorry, that's four. Oh well.
fridayfiver
1. Do you have any holiday plans? Beyond indulging my top three deadly sins: Sloth, Lust, and Gluttony? Not really.
2. Will you be traveling? Nope.
3. What is the worst thing about this time of year? The weather.
4. Do you have any favorite holiday foods? ...sigh...
5. Is it a Christmas tree or a holiday tree? Oh come on. Who really says "holiday tree?" Anyone?

No altfriday5 yet.


I'm really ready to go home.

OMG a million thanks to rougewench for the BOY KISSING POST. That totally made it worth coming to work today.

And you can't tell me that this isn't the scariest fucking thing you've seen today. Worksafe but perhaps not soulsafe. Augh! Run screaming!

DUDE! That's a fucking creep out!

New, from Clive Barker... THE POPE! *DA DA DAAAAHH!*

No joke. He'd of fit right in as one of the villians in Imagica. *shudder*

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Fine. Fine. How's this:

Verily, he wouldst have been in exceeding good company amongst the primary antagonists of Imagica.

There. I hope the grammar hard-on folks are happy. And "he'd of" is perfectly acceptable talk where I grew up. Hmph.

eep. Using of instead of have is one of my pet grammatical peeves.

So is the use of "utilize"... is there something wrong with simply using something?

Pope Claus is truly frightening.

You crazy Britishers. You'd probably faint dead away in my childhood home (http://www.city-data.com/city/North-Vernon-Indiana.html).

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

Britishers?

:runs screaming and holding ears:

Look, when it was so easy to take his picture (soon after being declared Pope) and make him look like Senator/Emperor Palpatine, I knew we were in trouble....

The Grinch? It's a photo of the Grinch just before his descent into Whoville.

Ewan McGregor and Jonathan Rhys Meyers the second best? I'll challenge that one (of course, I haven't seen Y Tu Mama Tambien).

[rougewench.livejournal.com]

You need to see Y Tu Mama Tambien. That flick is literally visceral.

Ok, I added it to my Netflix queue. I'll have to watch it and Velvet Goldmine back-to-back.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

*cough*

Call me.

That's one movie, along with The Secretary, that had to be stopped more than a few times so that um, 'things could be done' in order to continue watching the movie.

[adammaker.livejournal.com]

MMMM Secretary.

I think I'll go home and hide under the bed now...

No, wait! Better idea - go look at boys kissing again.

That is the order I ended looking at her links in. It really helped.
