Any of Kierstin Koppel? She was the gothic cheerleader in the latest Bring It On movie.

TO DO:

1) Call lawyer's office re: hire me, you procrastinating fucks.
2) RP the shit out of this weekend.



Yeah, that's all I'm putting on that. Baby steps, my friends. Baby steps. Also having woken up sick (lolol apparently my copy chief can read lips, so not being able to speak in the newsroom tonight was NO PROBLEMO) is making me not want to do anything ever. ...Except lie in bed and RP. I am feeling particularly responsible about shit for some reason -- not that I'm actually being responsible, so I have no idea where this well of feeling mature is coming from -- so I will reward myself by doing jack shit all weekend.

Except maybe geting drunk. That is a requirement.

Kate Walsh is on the Gong Show tomorrow night on Comedy Central with Dave Attel. I don't know who actually got her to do this? But bless them, seriously.

I just have to remember it's on.

I want to go somewhere sunny and read. Maybe I'll get on that this weekend.

So I finally finished fixing up my past character list, and the numbers stand at - 54 games, 195 characters. That is a lot of freaking applications that I've written in my life.

I also decided to streamline my current/pending list, to discover... I have 24 characters over 7 games, with 6 pending characters over 3 games.

WHUPS.

Anyway, in lieu of... actual content, have a to-do list!

( to-do! )

... THAT IS A LOT OF SHIT, OMG. WTF. And my new monthly activity to-do list starts over in a week. ARGH.

Tiny batch (and a repeat one at that!) but her role isn't very big in this movie. I'm in the middle of re-doing my batch of A Cinderella Story too.

Did anyone else notice how Jim Sturgess sounds like Ewan McGregor when he sings?

This is so not RP-related. But anyways. For my Abnormal Psychology class, our term paper is based on watching a movie (chosen from a pre-written list), figure out what particular disorder one of the characters has, and write about it. So help me choose.

What movie should I choose to write my paper on?
Fight Club
Memento
Benny and Joon
Boys Don't Cry
Don Juan DeMarco
Identity
Don't Say a Word
Trainspotting
Single White Female
Sybil
What's Eating Gilbert Grape
American Psycho
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind
The Machinist
About a Boy
Walk the Line
Finding Nemo

Given the...quality (a term I use loosely) of the discourse on my entry yesterday, I thought this little community of budding philosophers might do well to have a lesson in formal logic and logical fallacies.

For Your Edification:

1. a dicto simpliciter ad dictum secundum quid - fallacy of accident.

Making a generalization that disregards exceptions, eg. "Cutting someone is a crime. In surgery, Healers cut people. Therefore, Healers are criminals."

2. a dicto secundum quid ad dictum simpliciter - converse fallacy of accident.

Arguing from a special case to a general rule, eg. "Some people with magical ability are born to Muggle parents, so all Muggles must have the ability to produce Magical offspring."

3. ignoratio elenchi - irrelevant conclusions.

Diverting attention away from a fact rather than disputing directly.

( This type of fallacy falls into three categories: )

4. circulus in probando - circular reasoning.

Also known as "begging the question." In contemporary usage, often refers to an argument where the premises are as questionable as the conclusion, eg. "This person who agrees with me must be making the best argument, because I agree with them."

5. non sequitur - fallacy of false cause.

Incorrectly assuming one thing is the cause of another.

( This falls into two categories: )

I hope, in the future, this lesson will lead to less...clumsy attempts to refute logical arguments.

If there were psychics around, I'd be, like, scaring the shit out of them. With, ya know, a comparison to how my mind usually is. I'm particularly bitchy at the moment, even if it doesn't show on the outside.

AND WHY DO I HAVE FREAKING CHEMISTRY EVERY DAY? I'm a bio major. Yes, yes, shut up, shut up, I know, I know. I know chem is important. But my chem buddies want to sit in the first row and I don't want to look dumb. I am so incredibly rusty.

Uh...yeah. Gotta go to chem.

EDIT: I'm okay now :) Chem was great.

I've re-made my layout. It's cute and, sadly, not blue. Though I do like it. I may have to make a few more just for fun.

I hate writing personality paragraphs.

I prefer personality bullet lists.

A lot of people didn't like Parker, I noticed. But I did. Sometimes. Especially after that thing she did for Veronica. Actually, I had a love/hate relationship with Parker. Which is sort of the relationship I had with the whole season. But whatever. I love Julie. She has amazing hair. These aren't great but oh well!

OKAY, BREAK FOR THE MOST AWESOMEST ARTICLE EVER.

Because my graduate program is on information science, and that's the study of what we do right here, folks. I'm going to do a blog project on livejournal. xD

ANYWAY.

You have to see this article linked from one of my introductory lectures: "The Core Rules of Netiquette".

Highlights:

"You are not the center of cyberspace."

"Lurk before you leap."

"Know what you're talking about and make sense."

"You will be judged on the quality of your writing."

Much of it is out of date... and the bit about swearing, it's hilarious. If you can't handle seeing the word 'shit' on the internet, unplug everything and buy a candle and a book. xD

Sorry, Kat, Andy, Kris, Kay. My net kept taking a shit every time I signed on. I'll sign back on in a sec if it's working again...if anyone is up :[

I am surprised that he wasn't on the list of people, but I am in need of icons for Oded Fehr! Thank you in advance.

Dear today/University of Arizona:

DIAF DIAF DIAF DIAF DIAF DIAF DIAF

Fondly awaiting your demise,
me.



I will probably be up late RPing tonight as therapy for this bullshit. Or just sleeping. I haven't decided yet.

Does anyone know of any free or cheap options for making icons? Louis no longer has any sort of photo-editing software thanks to his stupid ass hard drive going asplodey.

In other news. Apparently Nintendo said today that the core audience will have to wait 2-3 years for a game (Mario, Zelda, etc.). Good to know they stopped caring about the people that followed them through thick and thin.

Thank you Mirrors for rekindling my Kiefer Sutherland lust.

It actually wasn't a bad horror flick, or at least I didn't think so.

I am in favor of any movie that makes Amy Smart get naked though, definitely.

School starts tomorrow. My schedule is this so far:

Monday and Wednesdays: Class 2:30-5:15.
Tuesday and Thursdays: Class 11:30-12:45, 4-5:15
Friday: Work 12-5

Just one more year, one more year.

also? GIP. It's so hot.

meebo.com broke down and I don't have my IMs.. sorry

It wasn't me. I swear

I live across the hall from Batman, apparently.

You know how dorms will do that cutesy themed shit? Stuff that entertains the RAs and gives them something to do while they wait for people to move in? Well, the theme of the hall I moved onto yesterday is superheroes. And all the women have superheroines. But the RA is Batman. So the first thing I see when I open my door is a Batman poster, Batman decorations, a Batman whiteboard. It is nuts. Other heroes I noticed just walking down the hallway: Zatanna, Catwoman, Jade (JEALOUS, MAN), Jean Grey, Emma Frost, Dani Moonstar, Aquagirl, Spider-Girl, Knockout, and Sailor Moon (wtf I know). I got assigned Kinetix from Legion of Super-Heroes.

Additionally, the community cork board is draped in TDK fabric and the RA's room is decked out in Batman shit (you can see because she leaves her door open). Also, TDK will be shown on the quad in a month or so.

Man.

So I tried to icon more caps for the expressions - 'cause AnnaLynne does fabulous slutty ones - but they were such bad quality I didn't want to subject anyone to that kind of horror.

Ben Affleck, anyone? Bonus points if they're from any Kevin Smith movie, but Dogma is preferred!

Thank you!

So have y'all heard about this new conscience rule that's being proposed to protect doctors from giving abortions or sterilizing people?

Here's a call to action.

You know, I don't have a lot to say because other people have said the same exact things I'm thinking in better ways. But Jesus. This shouldn't be an issue. A doctor's responsibility is to the patient, not to his or her delicate conscience. Doctors take an oath to do no harm and in denying contraceptive or abortion or sterilization to a patient that needs it - for whatever reason said patient may have - they are causing harm. If this goes through, doctors can turn away patients and not even have to refer to them to someone who will help. Disgusting.

Knowledge is power. Spread the word.

Had a nasty trip with a laser in my eyes last week that has left them super sensitive to light. They were already sensitive in the first place but now it's painful and headache-y to the point that aspirin/caffeine doesn't help (I also sit in front of a HUGE west-facing window so past noon all I get is sun-sun-sun!) But I'm not taking a hiatus. No. I'm going to go home, clean up, go to class, sit under painful fluorescents for 3 hours, go home, SHUT OFF ALL MY LIGHTS and finish Prison Break. Because I can. Or just pass out, since it'll be late anyway.

to-do tomorrow:
Finish Dima
Do something for Uriel, Cash
Paolo: re: DNC/Sookie going missing
Working on the two gDocs presently going
Stab JM
Alter wannabeonetoo to reflect this.
Figure out more on him. I forgot his name :(

I don't think macs can right-click. This is new and scary for me, especially since I relied on right-clicking to open links in new tabs - my question is, how might I go about that now?

ALSO, A MEME. This is something I forgot that I never did, and now I feel left out.

Give me one of my characters and one of yours (or you know, as many as you want), and I'll tell you how they end up together and what their first-born is like, even if they are unqualified to have children. I'll even give a PB IF I FEEL LIKE IT.

GO ON, REQUEST SOME CRACK. Request some crack with interesting ethnic mixes that will be fun to find PBs for, too. :>

1) Pick one or more of my current or past characters, and go here to generate 10 random numbers between 1 and 100. Generate a different set of numbers for each character you pick.

2) I will answer the corresponding questions from here from the point of view of the character(s).

Maybe this will help some of them to refind their voices.

I know I owe e-mails and tags and stuff, but I am hungry and waiting for spaghetti carbonara. After that, tags and e-mails will happen, because right now...my brain feels like soop.

I know she has been requested before, but it has been quite awhile and I'm hoping someone can help me out! Does anyone know of any Maggie Smith icons without text? I'm playing Minerva in a game and would really like at least 25 icons to use. :) I can make my own icons so if anyone knows of any specific caps, that would be helpful too! My sleuthing hasn't been helping me any.

Please and thanks!

Woo! Exhaustion! Went to bed sometime after 3:30 last night. Woke up around 6:45 this morning. I need food and then some lots of sleep.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STACEY!

I missed it on TV last night but I watched it on the glory of the internet. I have to say that Michelle Obama's speech was very moving. I have to say though that the VP looks like Phil Hartman, holy crap does he look like him!

Michael Emerson? Extra love if it's as Zep in Saw!

The ancient Spartans had an institutionalized system of what we would now call negative eugenics and military training called the agoge, which, among many unpleasant things not acceptable to discuss in polite society, included the intentional exposure to the elements of infants who were considered unfit for the Spartan military lifestyle because of physical deformity or mental retardation and weakness. The purpose of this exposure was, naturally, to kill the infirm infants and thus weed out their negative traits in order to further strengthen the Spartan society as a whole.

Since there has been some confusion, I thought I would make this easier for those who are wont to insert their own prejudices as they may to read:

In the face of mankind's history of systematic and systemic cruelty toward individuals in the name of improving the body of society, is it any wonder that we (meaning the United Kingdom of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, The Falkland Islands, and the Phoenix Islands, and St. Helena & Dependencies) are once again in a time where this question is at the forefront of our politics and personal lives? Can we not appreciate that we (meaning those who subscribe to the view of positive eugenics through selective marriage in order to strengthen the bloodlines of the families carrying the magical gene, also known as 'Purists') are at least going about it in a more civilized manner, rather than attempting to achieve our aims through the wholesale and inaccurate slaughter of infants?

Hey all! I'm looking for Jeff Goldblum icons, other than the ones at hollow_art. Thanks!
