Subject is quote from Anna’s friend Jonny. I am stealing it.

• Yay for pretty Last Unicorn icons (pages one and two). Such a good movie. Makes me wanna read the book, for the third time. (Also love the Counting Crows “Round Here” icons here.)
  
• What is up with the 70's phrase “you are a stone fox”? Trip says it to Lux in The Virgin Suicides, and Kelso’s brother told Donna “you are a stone cold fox” in last night’s That 70's Show.
  
• So last year i read The Fountainhead for the Ayn Rand essay contest but ended up never entering. Maybe i’ll read Atlas Shrugged this summer and maybe even enter the essay contest (or not).
  
• Reading Robin Scroggs’ book (The New Testament and Homosexuality) one of the things that has been really interesting is how different people can interpret different things so differently. I had thought it was just a matter of reading enough, of learning enough about the original words and the cultural context and such, but two people looking at the same information can still come to different conclusions regarding the interpretation of a text. Humbling isn’t the word i want, but it was a real reminder to not say things like “this clearly means.” I don’t know how much it’ll take for other topics, but i think it’ll definitely take for what i say and write about this topic -- especially since there really is so little definitive evidence. (This was more coherent in my head. Sorry.)
  
• I love that i have caused Buffy to permeate my parents’ minds. My dad looked up the photo credits on the July Cosmo because he could have sworn the cover model was the actress who plays Anya (it wasn’t). And he always sends me bunny stuff that makes him think of Anya, like this piece from an article on wimpy team names (his e-mail had the subject "I don't think Anya would call that wimpy.").

  Fight, Lambkins, fight!
  Best of the Web is collecting wimpy high school team names from around the country, including the Fort Collins (Colo.) Lambkins, the Poca (W. Va.) Dots and, in my father's hometown of Omaha, the Benson Mighty Bunnies.

  My mom wrote herself a note to tell me that SMG is on the cover of 2 magazines -- In Style and Seventeen.
  
• Danny Strong is doing Dunkin’ Donuts Coolata commercials. This made me think of the scene in “Reptile Boy” when Cordelia has him get her a “cappuccino -- cinnamon, chocolate, half-caf, nonfat ... extra foam.”

  "It’s like buttering an English muffin. An English muffin is hip. Because it’s so good"
  -actor David Boreanaz, star of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, when asked to define “hip”

• hee
  
• I like Britta and Carolyn’s “Free Hugs” shirt idea. I think i may put a “Free Hugs. Inquire Inside.” sign on my door at school this year. Someone has to do it with Allison graduated. :)
  
• Ooh, new layout to Neil Gaiman’s journal.

He's quite strange...

A few months ago, he was on The Daily Show, and it was the most manic, unpredictable, bizarre thing I've ever seen.

Also: Sarah & Freddie are on the cover of Entertainment Weekly this week. Cute story, too. And I highly reccomend the In Style piece, it was tres good. ;)

and I am home. and I owe you an email. and I am all over the place still, but trying to come back to myself.

Re: Magazine frenzy

I saw the Entertainment Weekly cover tonight. Will try to remember to look up the story on my break tomorrow. My library doesn't get In Style, so perhaps i'll swing by Norwood News & Book as well to check out the article. Knew i could count on you for all things SMG. :)

Re: Magazine frenzy

0:) hey, everyone has their specialty. And how's THIS for a great family: SMG and Freddie were both on both Live with Regis & Kelly on different days when I was away. SMG was also on Revealed with Jules Asner. And they taped ALL of those for me!!! squee! I'm so loved. :D

and yes, we can watch them if/when you visit. ;)

Re: Magazine frenzy

[hermionesviolin.livejournal.com]

Yay indeed for families who tape things for you.

and yes, we can watch them if/when you visit. ;)

Trying to convert me to SMG obsession, are you? :)

And yes, i'm hoping for a when rather than an if visit. Once you're feeling better (which for your sake i hope is soon) we should talk and try to make plans.

Well, I wouldn't use words like 'obsession,' but...they are fun clips. And I should have the Buffy S2 dvd within the next few days (it will be mine, oh yes).

I need to get a job. I have TOO MUCH FREE TIME!

I'm starting to feel a bit better, thanks. I think all the traveling & time zone changes hit me harder than expected, that's all.
