There are episodes of TKR

Mostly episodes that were clearly meant to air earlier, though they actually aired near the end of the series (EMP, for a prime example), where I really want to cross TKR over with my original characters, strictly so someone can tell Kyle to his face that he's a dick. (I suppose the honor would go to Dani, since she's the leader.)

Of course, speaking of dickish behavior, it's probably wrong for Armageddon to refer to Attack Beast as "an adorable li'l thing". (What? I parked next to an F150 today and was reminded how SMALL they are next to my truck.) Speaking of the parking lot at Albertsons, I probably shouldn't have spent quite so much time staring in delight at the Jeep Rubicon that was parked across from me; my excuse is that I was trying to decide if it'd fit in the bed of my truck. ^__^

The weird alchemy of my mind

Yesterday, laurashapiro linked to this Conan: The Musical video (warnings for: violence, bad hair, Ahnold), and I spent the rest of the day humming the "crush your enemies/see them driven before you/and hear the lamentations of the women" part.

This morning, I woke up wondering just what Xena would have to say about that philosophy. I figured it would involve her sword and the smile that reminds you she's really only thismuch saner than Callisto.

And then she would discover that Gabrielle had already given Conan a social justice lecture that reduced him to a gibbering pile of goo. (Possibly, Gabby took his kneecaps out with her staff first. Just to make sure he'd listen. Because she's practical like that.)

After, there would have to be a Stern Talking To about why it's kinder just to let Xena handle things with violence.

42 days into my streak...

...and I finally created a 750 Words icon. Showin off mah badges; Iz doin it.

I also went back to the KITT (2k flavr) plotline from Indestructible today, to reassure jehanne1431 that I haven't forgotten KITT in my TKR obsession. :D

( Usual disclaimers: written on the fly, probably lots of typos and doin English rong. )

I ♥ Michael and Bonnie.

In other news, I'm so hot I think I might actually be ill. :(

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW

One thing I do love about where I live is that I can see the town fireworks displays (every 4th of July and New Years) from my porch, away from the annoyance of actual human contact. I can't hear any of it, of course, except the occassional crack-ck-ck of a particularly big one, so I put on something appropriate, like the music from Disney's Fantasmic!, and have my own private show.

This year, I put on Fantasmic! starting at the villain sequence, which is my favorite part and, at about the midpoint, is suitable for the length of our usual displays around here (13 minutes, give or take). And yes, right around the start of Maleficent's death throes, what LOOKED like the finale of the fireworks started.

Only then, they kept going. Through the finale of Fantasmic! Through the "let's play music while the CMs gently prod the guests into moving" music. Into the start of The Mainstreet Electrical Parade (which is on this playlist because it's the second track of the CD...and yes, my CD was old enough that it is, indeed, the Mainstreet Electrical Parade music that I have, and not the Disney Electrical Parade).

The true finale didn't start until the Pinnochio sequence in Mainstreet. Not that I'm complaining; one can't go wrong when one's sparkling lights are accompanied by electrasynthomagnetic musical sounds, after all. :D I'm just surprised.

And the true finale? Looked like they'd taken a match to all three of our fireworks stores. This totally made up for the lackluster fireworks that brought in 2010.
