I love Something Wicked This Way Comes! It is one of my favorite childhood movies. (You know you're from a SF/F loving family when...)

I've based half my appearance and most of my opinions on life off of Ghost World. It's bucking frilliant, and while watching it I suggest remembering that it's based off a fantastic graphic novel. (which you really should read in conjunction with the movie)

So this is Mish.

Hello, Mish.

I am Jenna. Or Vainglory. Josh was all, "Oh, you will like her."

Yes.

Greetings.

Yes, I am a Mish.

You put many spaces between lines.

Which amuses me to the point of copying it.

Not in a mocking you way just a sort of amused and oooh fun way.

Yes.

Hi? I think we forgot that whole normal people greet each other in a conventional fashion way.

But we can abandon that particular fashion, I've actually been trying to greet people by extending rubber mackrels for years now.

Well, not years.

Hours.

Possibly minutes, it really just occured to me.

*friends for the sake of cool person and friend of josh*

At your request, I'm posting to remind you to watch The Big Lebowski. Most brilliant film ever! It's utterly bizarre. You'll have to watch it more than once to catch all the silly little details. And it never gets old.

It stars Jeff Bridges as Jeffery Lebowski - more commonly known as the Dude. He's a throw-back to the 70s stoners, claims to be one of the Seattle Seven, and loves to bowl. A couple of thugs break into his house, mistaking him for another Jeffery Lebowski. They soil his rug and leave after realizing the Lebowski they were looking for is a very wealthy old man.

The Dude is not cool with his rug being ruined, and goes to find the Big Lebowski to get compensation. Hilarity ensues. The plot is absolutely insane, and really isn't the focus of the movie, anyway. The characters are what it's all about. John Goodman plays Walter - an army-obsessed war veteran with an anger management problem. He runs his own security company, but his career seems to be reminding people what Vietnam was all about. Steve Buscemi (*drools) plays Donnie, a quiet guy who gets a lot of verbal abuse from Walter. ("Shut the fuck up, Donnie!" is repeated too many times to count in this movie.)

This movie also has an amazing soundtrack, and some GREAT dream/marijuana high sequences. There are too many great quotes. I could ramble on and on about it. Sorry, I'm on a Big Lebowski kick. I've watched it three times in two days... *grins* Just see it!
