I was tripping balls.

If you visit my hiptop blog, you can see pictures of my boyfriend's new ladyfriend. Her name is Dixie and we picked her out yesterday at the Humane Society. That was hard--when we were walking in, I was like, "I'll take one of everything!" The Prom King is actually the second person to adopt her--the first family adopted her, tried crate-training her (never mind that she was really too young for that), and returned her the next day because she cried all night. Those people? Suck.

Is it Kal Penn week on TV? First he's on 24, in a completely pointless storyline and tonight, on SVU. And can we go back to 24 for a sec? Are they trying to win the coveted "I'm So Sure" award? The President ordered an airstrike on a random house in like, El Segundo? I'm so sure.

Also on the "I'm So Sure" radar: A&E, CSI: Miami and The Sopranos are miles apart in quality so plz quit trying to advertise them together. Yes, they're both on your network in syndication. That's all they have in common. Besides zooby's deep and abiding balls-deep love for balls.

Earlier this evening, I watched the Takashi Miike episode of Masters of Horror, called "Imprint." For those of you who don't know MoH, it's a Showtime program and here's part of the description from wiki: "The show follows an anthology format, with each one-hour episode featuring a short film directed by a well-known horror film director. Since the show airs on a premium cable network, it routinely features more extreme levels of violence, nudity, and profanity than that of a typical television program." Speaking of extreme...Takashi Miike! For those of you who don't know that magnificent bastard, here is a quote I found that sums him up well:

"For the uninitiated, let's just say the guy is arguably the most 'extreme' film maker on the planet. And by 'extreme' I mean, 'Holy Fucking Shit What The Fuck Am I Fucking Watching I Need A Shower And Then Maybe Church' extreme film making."

So..."Imprint." Famously not shown on Masters on Horror after Showtime refused to air it--although really...what were they thinking? What kind of program did they expect Miike to deliver?

And how was it? Uneven but good. The acting quality is wildly varied, for one--Michie is good but Billy Drago is so over the top that it's comical. And this has nothing to do with "Imprint" but I had no idea he was Darren E. Burrows's dad. Bottom line: I liked it but this is definitely not something I'd recommend to just everyone. The torture scene was even worse than ===SPOILER SPOILER=== Odishon's "kiri kiri kiri" scene,===END SPOILER=== during which I had to leave the room.

I went for a job interview Sunday and that was a bit odd. First of all, I've never had a job interview on a Sunday. Second, the people I met with were nice and I'm sure if everything was ready, they'd be lovely to work with but...their spa isn't built. Construction hasn't even started. They're not expecting to open until March and I need a job before then. I told them I'd meet with them again next Sunday but I'm going to email and politely cancel. And then contact two new leads.

Right now? Degrassi, oh hells yes.

Odishon's "kiri kiri kiri" scene

I'm going to have nightmares tonight.

Aw!

You ARE tripping balls. But at least you got balls deep right. Yank.

Spike = Awesome.

[rockgeisha.livejournal.com]

Canadian!

I love Spike, although I still don't get how she supports the two of them on her salary. Those must be some good tips!

I love MOH - I haven't seen "Imprint", but I did see "Audition", so I think I'll be adequately prepared. I had the Lee Tergesen "...Icecream" episode on the DVR so I watched that last night... I was pretty underwhelmed. The horror was okay, but the guy who wrote the original story is all up in Stephen King's grill ripping him off concept for concept (group of young kids, usually boys, witness/cause unspeakable horror? Check. Said boys grow up to be men who suffer the consequences of said unspeakable horror? Check. A certain antiquated style of swearing including use of the word "cornholing"? Check.), but I like Lee Tergesen so I stuck it out. The one where a virus escalated the world's already plentiful supply of misogyny was quite chilling, but had a weird ending I still can't figure out.

Degrassi! Yes! I resisted posting about it in case of spoiler action, but I'm just not surprised by Craig. Ever.

I haven't been able to watch most of the MoH episodes. The discs don't work on my DVD player or my laptop for some reason. I was determined to watch Imprint, though, so I tried it out on my mom's computer and surprise!

I would caution you, though--Imprint is much worse than Audition. I would suggest watching Three... Extremes first maybe to help build up a tolerance. Probably not Visitor Q, though.

Eeeee what a cutie!

Hee, thanks!

Y'all need to cut out this balls business. I'm insane from it. You know that poem by Edgar Allen Poe, "The Bells"? Well, guess what I've done with it.

...From the balls, balls, balls, balls,
Balls, balls, balls-
From the jingling and the tinkling of the balls.

[rockgeisha.livejournal.com]

We can't help- it--it's all about the balls.

That dog is adorable, and I hope you get to hug her and love her a-plenty.

Also, you know, I think Tom Hanks loves balls almost as much as zooby.

[rockgeisha.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

And Tom Hanks is all about the balls!
