*Evil laughter* It’s Friday the 13th…and you know what that means! (Actually, I have no clue what it means…just do something “freakish” today, eh? You know, something “normal” for most of us… *grins*).
dammit all! I’m sick this friday and the next one isn’t till december! aww!!
lexi: bwahahaha.. couph..
I love friday 13 and friday 17!!!
There’s always one.
I haven’t done anything “freakish” today except… No, that’s not “freakish,” that’s just downright stupid.
Happy Friday the Thir-teenth to you too, E!

“That seems strange.”
“Well, yeh, it is.”I’ll join in the well wishings for Friday the 13th. Been a normal day so far though, however I did find out that superstitious people believe I have “the Devil’s Luck” since I have 13 letters in my name, right along with the likes of Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer, Albert De Salvo, and Jack the Ripper (some of the names that were flashed during this news tidbit).
Sure Friday the 13th is bad but…
Saturday the 14th is worse.
as freakish as usual anyway.
finally got up the courage to rent planet of the apes today, (it seems like whenever i go in search of elfman films i get these weird looks.. how do they know?? I’m just paranoid i suppose.) less cars on the road today. must be my lucky day!
but anyway, planet of the apes is much better when you can’t hear the dialogue. yes, my friends, the isolated score with elvin commentary was mine. alllll mine! seriously, have you heard that one? it’s the best! we’ve got the usual “themes are like pieces in a puzzel” lecture. but then we have the, “seven trips to the airplane restroom,” “rambling on like a madman,” and “action sequences are a bitch” lectures. golden! i mean if you’ve heard rick and casper’s modern vampires commentary, you know how hilarious they can be!
question: why can’t they make DVDs like this for better films?
lexi: sick on the inside and out today!
warning to nat: saturday the 14th is not only tommorow, but this december as well! (insert the sort of “bum bum BUM! theme.)My Friday the 13th was great! I had lunch with one of my old writing profs today; we got together and ate mousaka, and then he ripped my manuscript a new one! Actually, his revisions were necessary, and the guy’s a phenomenal writer, so I’ll take his sarcastic comments any day. As much as it hurts to see your work completely trampled upon, chewed up and spit out onto your shoes, that’s what is going to make you better – at whatever you do. (Yes, that’s the speech I give to all my students right before handing back papers…and then I tell them how Bill never fails to make me feel like crap when he reads my manuscripts…so I guess you could say “what goes around comes around.” Nah, I don’t make ’em cry or anything like that, but I’m not easy, either).
Just returned from the Spider-man/MIIB double feature. That was also enjoyable, despite the fact that the person I went with TALKED through both films…oh well…hey, he’s a nice person…he just doesn’t understand the Elfman film score fascination…gotta cut the guy *some* slack
It was also weird, because I saw a bunch of my students at the theater. They all felt the need to come “say hello,” and then said, “Hey, didn’t that Danny guy you like so much do the music for both of these movies?” *Grins* I guess I am teaching them something after all (and this week, we FINALLY broke through the “Lolita” issues – yeah!)…-E (who is surprisingly content on this, the day of terror…)
Oh yeah, my Friday the 13th was just WONDERFUL . . . it involved me and about 40 other people being semi-attacked while we were outside and vulnerable, being threatened with guns, somebody running one of the “bad guys” down and tackling them, other people chasing after them, one kid grabbing onto a car bumper and getting dragged for awhile before they ran out and kicked him a couple of times, mostly in the head (that was OK, I think that kid is stalking me and I don’t like him), the police doing nothing but seeing it fit to send over 4 cars anyway . . . and us spending the rest of the night seeing the other people around us but not being able to do anything about it.
At least one of the little ****ers is getting charged with a couple of things. And last night I introduced a bunch of people to the Spiderman score
Infynitie – that’s some heavy stuff to deal with. Hope everything turns out, and that you’re continuing to enjoy band.
Best wishes,
ErikaThe Rick and Casper commentary is one of my all time favorite for any movie. Felt like they were in the room with me. Kept waiting for them to pass me a drink but did they even offer? NO.
Had to get off my butt and pop my own popcorn too. hrmph.
As for Dear Danny, Family Man has got to be both my most favorite and least favorite. His voice in that one just cracks me up. What did they do to the poor man? However, I hate that there are so many huge gaps in the thing. Lot of silence that I had to edit out of that.
POTA was packed full of Danny chat, but I didn’t like the way it was laid out. Often tiems it seemed like he wasn’t commenting as he watched, but maybe that a bunch of commentaries/interviews got spliced together and stuck in where there was silence. I guess the up side though was there was no silence.
I think they’re all pretty fun though. I wonder how repetitive he’d sound if he did it for all of the them.
Erika – – LOL it wasn’t really a big deal, but it did kind of upset the evening.
How did you know it was a band function?
((That’s one of the only things I hate about band . . . people hate us for no real reason and are willing to waste their money and time on hurting us)) It wasn’t terrible or anything though. I was taking pictures the whole time (not of anybody being violent, just of us waiting for the police and yelling at/running at the people who were doing it) and we mostly laughed at the situation. But lying awake all night wondering if somebody is actually going to carry out the threats isn’t a comfortable feeling.Hope you’re enjoying your music too
“How did you know it was a band function?
“Infynitie – Just a hunch
Hey, don’t worry too much about people wanting to physically harm band members…they’ll get their due. In any case, I certainly feel intellectually superior to those meatheads, and now they’re apt to acknowledge it. I’ve taught several of ’em in my Beginning English Composition course at the local community college. Yeah, grading objectively was a bit difficult, but hey, they didn’t try in the course at all, so I didn’t feel too badly when I recommended they take the course again (my nice way of saying the failed miserably).Why do people hurt band members for no apparent reason? Well, here’s my theory: the perpetrators usually happen to be males, and low academic achievers at that. They’re probably going nuts from what I like to call SRS (Sperm Retention Syndrome). In other words, they can’t get any from their girlfriends, and certain other methods ain’t helping either, their small brains can’t handle the testosterone overload, and thus, the feel the need to beat someone to whom they consider themselves superior. After getting their jollies on taking a few swings at a band geek, they feel vindicated, and probably strangely tired (which is why, I’m guessing, a few of your posse were able to kick the snot out of several of them). In any case, it’s just a theory.
By “meatheads,” I mean that I’ve taught several of the football players who made my life a living hell in high school…it was weird, teaching and grading guys who were in your graduating class in high school, and made you dread every second of it…odd stuff, I tell you.
And talk about intellectual superiority:
“and thus, the feel the need to beat someone to whom they consider themselves superior” – “the” SHOULD BE “they.” Again, sorry I fell into English teacher grammar Nazi mode…
