OH MY GOD I WONDER WHO IRIS WILL PICK.

god I think I'm going crazy.

Such as 1)

Brokers with hands on their faces. The raw emotion. Oh god. We're all fucked.

2) Stuff for sale that I will mail you

Why buy something boring like clothes or CDs when you can buy the experience of someone going to Iceland, sitting in a hot spring, and mailing you some lava rock? Or the experience of someone hanging out with their best friend, having a fight, and resolving the fight, all posted on youtube?

3) The following is from the Found Magazine blog, where people post cool/funny things they found. This list is actually a perfect representation of my current life goals:

"Yes, You're Busted"
by Kind of Like Spitting

will you call me a genius when i write down all my fears?
when i'm locked in my room all day trying to sound like it's been years?
and when i exaggerate to make the meaning count,
will you count on me
or will you count me out?
we have stopped to admire the ones who don't wash their clothes.
that narrow their glance at the dance but soften their eyes for shows.
what a big surprise, the end of the night, the sets for you.
you're not sure if you know him, but he wants you to think that you do....

A link to it, because I suck at embedding things. (Click on it. It's so good).

This question is epic. The Simpsons is one of those shows that consistently makes me happy no matter how low I'm feeling. The newer episodes can go to hell, but anything before 2000 is guaranteed to make me happy and to give me enough fodder for 2 or 3 nerdy friendships. It's tough to pick a favourite character--they all have their golden moments. I basically love all of the characters equally. So instead, I'm going to pick some of my favourite simpsons lines of all time.

Homer: TWENTY DOLLARS? AWWW. I WANTED A PEANUT.
Homer's Brain: Twenty dollars can buy lots of peanuts!
Homer: Explain how!
Homer's Brain: Money can be exchanged for goods and services.
Homer: WOOHOO!

C. Montgomery Burns: (context: his new casino needs a performer). "Very well. Begin the thawing of Jim Nabors."

Flanders: Hi-dilly-ho!
Homer: Get lost!
Flanders: Doodly-do!

Homer: A lotus flower? Don't even get me STARTED on lotus flowers!

Woman: No, my son is also named Bort.

Grandpa: I was the handsomest man in Albany!

Grandpa: See-eex? I-i've had see-eex!

Bart: So I says to Mabel, I says...

I'm fully certain that there are more, but I just can't think of them right now. I'll add any if they come to mind.

What about you? Any favourite characters/lines?

1. My professor's copy of Booze: A Distilled History
2.A can of beer.
3. My dignity.

The coming-of-age of a twenty something activist as he finds himself living in Point St Charles, Montreal's (formerly) poorest neighborhood that's now being gentrified.

Pip pip, cheerio, I do say, etc etc etc.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

THERE ARE CERTAIN KEY SPECIFICATIONS NECESSARY TO FOLLOW WHEN ONE ORDERS GENERAL TAO'S TOFU. FIRST AND FOREMOST, the word "tofu" implies vegetarian. Thusly, to mix a pre-existing tofu dish with a pre-existing dish of general tao's CHICKEN (which is a meat product) does not create general tao's tofu. Although your fervent desire was that some of the topping from the chicken would carry over onto the tofu by osmosis, you are in fact required to coat tofu with the sauce and then fry it until you have an adequate portion. If I were to order a BLT, I would not desire a salad with lettuce, tomato, bacon bits, and croutons, and when I order general tao's tofu I do not desire tofu and peppers with some chicken on the side. Thank you and GOOD DAY.

PIP PIP CHEERIO,
Lady Worthingtonhamshire III

With mannequin heads on stakes
With crosses surrounded by thorns
With trees made out of horns,
With bicycle wheel windmills.

Will the creator of this garden please reveal themselves?

I may love you.

Scorpio: "Everyone's life is a hero's journey, yours included. You have been on an epic quest ever since you first realized that your destiny is unlike anyone else's, and that you have specific tasks to master as you pursue the long-term dreams that are uniquely meaningful to you. But like all the rest of us, you sometimes lose sight of this big-picture view for months at a time. You may even be fairly happy as you focus on your daily details without any thought of where your you'll be years from now. If that's the rhythm you've been in lately, Scorpio -- and I suspect it is -- it's about to change. Your immersion in the next major phase of your hero's journey will begin soon. "--From Free WilL Astrology, week of Aug 21

Wow, this is a lot liek me, especially the creative, anti-authroritarian, and sometimes too blunt thing.

1. Pick 15 of your favourite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.

1. Wait... No! I mean, can't we just, like, kick this old school? Like, I have the baby, put it in a basket and send it your way, like, Moses and the reeds?  --Juno, as guessed by both xocolatlklc and plasticpepper

2. D'you know our high school reunion's comin' up? Ten years... D'you know how depressing that is? D'you think I don't wanna slash my fucking wrists when I think about that? Goddamn it! 

3. Don't you think dreams and the Internet are similar? They are both areas where the repressed conscious mind vents. 

4. ...And request that he keep his abnormally long nose out of other people's business. --Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, from when I liked Harry Potter!! guessed by xocolatlklc and plasticpepper

5.   You are not alone. You are not afraid. You don't need your thumb, and your thumb doesn't need you. Thumbsucker! As guessed by the two lovely ladies xocolatlklc and plasticpepper

6.  ...Medium? Why sir, did you know that for a mere 25 cents more you can purchase a large beverage? And you know... I'm only telling you this because we're such good friends: Medium is really only for suckers who don't know the concept of value.  Ghost world, as guessed by verberantia

9. Who's down with G-O-D? Saved! guessed by xocolatlklc

10. The home of Dr. Geary, another outlaw, like myself. We're navigators, we're aviators, we're eating taters, masturbating alligators. Bombadiers, we got no fears, won't shed no tears. We're pushing the frontiers of transcendental perception. What's weird is we haven't met yet, on this or any other plane.  Across the Universe guessed by plasticpepper

11.  I've spent my entire life doing nothing but collecting comic books... and now there's only time to say... LIFE WELL SPENT!  The Simpsons Movie guessed by xocolatlklc

12. Y'know that ringing in your ears? That 'eeeeeeeeee'? That's the sound of the ear cells dying, like their swan song. Once it's gone you'll never hear that frequency again. Enjoy it while it lasts. 

13. Would you mind telling me then what those four years of college were for? What was the point of all that hard work? 

14. In the mean time, I'm going to get the government to do my laundry.  Sicko, guessed by xocolatlklc

15. Yes? What's that? Godzilla's attacking the city? 
(Hmm...wonder what 15 could be)

I know the niche market is 40 yr old female English professors who drive subarus, but who is to say that that won't be me one day?! Anyway, look at these cool dresses from coldwater creek!

happy international quirkyalone day,
love,
Iris <3 

 

you can come up a little bit before new years, but I just realized I need to be back by Jan 2--classes start early. We could make room for Kelcy and Kiri but probably not the guys...that's a lot of people. Well, get back to me.
