Subtitle: The post where I put up some amusing things I found.

Here's an excellent breakdown of forthcoming films this fall. Personally, it's a bloody crime that Serenity only gets an anticipation level of 4/5, and Saw 2 and Doom get commentary but Wallace & Grommit and Everything is Illuminated does not. Fuck that. Although kudos must go out to the snark-factor inherent in listing the "stars" of Narnia: "Kids, Spirit of Jesus." Nyah hah! Also: why do they claim that Memoirs of a Geisha stars everyone in China, what with it being Japanese and all? (If they say "cos they all look alike" I won't know whether to laugh or cry...)

Is this even real? Apparently there's a town in Austria called "F---ing"...and no I don't know if those are real dashes--and British people keep, well, look:

"We will not stand for the F---ing signs being removed," the officer told the broadsheet.

"It may be very amusing for you British, but F---ing is simply F---ing to us. What is this big F---ing joke? It is puerile."

Local guide Andreas Behmueller said it was only the British that had a fixation with F---ing.


The sad part: No, I did NOT tamper with that text in any way.

In real world non-news, as this is my last week of work my email has a new signature addended to my name, as "seperated 09032005", which will be my last day. So, I'll be "seperated" huh. Silly IT. My supervisor also sent out a welcoming email announcing my imminent "seperation" and replacement by Buffy, who I recommended. (She originally didn't want my job, then decided she did. So let's see, I helped her get into school, I got her a job, and she's always sniffy to me. Go figure. I hate being nice to friends of the family. FYI Overprotective Ones, don't get onto me for being a pushover: sometimes it's just worth it to go along so I don't get worse crap.)

Also thanks go out to Andrew and Scott for being very attentive guys while I've been all stressed and addled waiting for med stuff. I know I'm a mood-bug sometimes but you guys are uber-awesome to me anyway, and I really appreciate it.

Okay, I'm gonna go veg. Or something.

Defenestration:a throwing of a person or thing out of a window.

The Real-Time Encyclopedia describes defenestration is "the traditional Czechoslovakian method of assassinating prime ministers."

Ponder for a moment, if you will, the number of times something occurs for it to be considered traditional.

...

Uh huh.
