Yay, there's an anonymous love meme over at meloukhia's! Anything to keep me from actually doing 24 Hour Comics Day. Guys, in case you were wondering: Drawing is hard.

Okay I'm extremely hyper due to a combination of a grande mocha and a lot of
new music (71 NEW SONGS ON THE NEW HOMESTUCK ALBUM, YOU GUYS. I DON'T EVEN.
WHAT THE FUCK. 71 NEW SONGS.) So! A meme that I just made up.

Ask me any question and I will answer with a song from my music
collection!

(Songs to be uploaded when I get home from work. Questions to be answered
now with my best memory of what shit is called!)

Today started off terribly, when at first I couldn't get myself out of bed and shaven and clean for my grandmother's headstone placement, and then I got to the airport and drove around for half an hour, increasingly worried about my mother who wasn't picking up, and then ... I called home and heard her voice. Turns out the placement is tomorrow, and I continue to be perhaps not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

But then I drove home and ate my homemade ice cream, and spent hours on this blog Letters of Note. It's what it says on the tin; guy compiles letters that are notable because interesting, or sad, or funny, or famous, or scary. It made me want to start leaving documentary evidence again. I'd only read, I think, three before -- the Jack the Ripper letter, the Disney-to-women-illustrators letter, and this letter from Groucho Marx to T. S. Eliot. The rest of the correspondence is similarly charming, trust me, and you can find it in The Essential Groucho. "So, when I call you Tom, this means you are a mixture of a heavyweight prizefighter, a male alley cat and the third President of the United States."

Then there are letters like the one where a kid sends some helpful advice to the Woomera Rocket Range, or the several in which young women complain about how the government is keeping Elvis and the Beatles down (they all end with "if you don't do [x] I will just die." A lot of people write back. Kennedy is apparently hilarious. Stephen Fry is shockingly wonderful even for Stephen Fry. Dr. Seuss encourages a kid to keep drawing ... and the kid becomes a comics artist. Isaac Asimov is a gentleman. Mark Twain rips a patent medicine peddler a new one; Mark Twain disses the telephone.

And then there's this one.

( that photomosaic meme under the cut )

Yeah, sure, why not, I'm supposed to be doing homework, after all: ( 100x100 )

Also, con_or_bust is open for auctions! I offered a beta for anyone who donates $10 or more, which is ludicrously overpriced but I really did not feel comfortable offering five dollar increments, which will not even, put together, pay for a tank of gas.

Okay, the As You Like It musical is going to have to go in a different post.

ITEM THE FIRST.

Reply to this and I will...
1)Tell you why I friended you.
2)Associate you with a song/movie.
3)Tell a random fact about you.
4)Tell my first memory of you.
5)Associate you with an animal/fruit.
6)Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
7)In return, you can, if you like, spread this disease in your LJ.

ITEM THE SECOND. King Henry II: So what in most people is morality, in you it's just an exercise in... what's the word?

Thomas a Becket: Aesthetics.

King Henry II: Yes, that's the word. Always "aesthetics." from "Becket"

ETA: Oh my god oh my god, this tagline. The screen explodes with rage and passion and greatness! That's hot, poster-writers. Thank you for being mature about it. No wonder this movie never sold.

ITEM THE THIRD. Has anyone on the flist ever written a villanelle? I have this vague memory that fahye did, once upon a time.

*grins* Though there really aren't that many visible or around anymore, why the hell not?

Ask my characters anything/tell me something about my characters I don't know. Juilliard, Josh, Ada, Sophia; Myrissin, Radmyr, Lady Consort, Nashal. Am I forgetting anyone?

So I'm seeing a trend here, in that we're all freaks who name things compulsively.

[Poll #824627]

Leave other interestingly named objects in the comments.

(Thomas & Manifold, by the way.)

Ridiculously high-brow, these. Gacked from everyone: guess the movie from whence these came. I think I managed to make all the movies ones close and dear to my heart, but there might be some quotable flukes. *g*

( my favorite movie will always be bambi, i think, but no quotable lines from that )
