The OMG entry
Dec. 31st, 2003 01:26 amDVD players are weird! They have no normal way to hook them up to the tv. Did they do that on purpose so the people who manufacture RF modulators would clean up? Luckily, my new tv in my bedroom has a/v inputs on the front of it, so I hooked the dvd player in through that and it plays GREAT!!! OH MY GOD I LOVE it! I played with it a lot, even played a cd in it, heehee. Now Laurel, that is NOT what you bought it for. It was really weird to have music playing through my tv.
I am going to be good and save the Miracles episodes for when Kaye is here so we can watch them all together and IN ORDER (there you go Deejay, heehee). But I did sneak and watch the first 5 minutes of "Saint Debbie" because I wanted to see what Debbie looked like and that first scene. XD I'm not spoiling anything for Kaye; she has no idea what happens in these unaired eps. But OMG the picture is so CLEAR! Gorgeous! Eeeeeeee! ::HUGS DVD player::
And OMG, I think this thing will play PAL dvd's too! In the manual, it has instructions for playing PAL dvd's. Why would it have that if it wouldn't do it? Now I need a PAL region dvd to test it. O_O
I wish I'd gotten some snacks for New Year's Eve while my dad and I were at the store tonight. Maybe when you get here, Kaye, we can go get some on the way home? I'll ask. It's just not NYE without munchies.
And OMG!!!! I was switching around on the movie channels, looking for something to watch while I ate my hamburger, and I go by the True Stories channel and see Dahmer across the bottom of the screen on the digital cable guide thingie. I'm like O_O - someone else made a movie about Jeffrey Dahmer?!?! I had no idea. It was put out in 2002. I hope it comes on again so I can get the whole thing on tape. Likely Kaye is the only one reading this who will know what the hell I'm talking about here (unless I have some anonymous readers who knew me in the early 1990's). The lead actor looked SO MUCH like Carl! OMG! In fact, he looks so much like Carl he could almost be his twin! Which is really funny, that the two guys who played Jeffrey Dahmer in movies look more like each other than they do like J.D. XD He wasn't as muscular, though. Pretty eyes!
I only saw the last 40 minutes, but it looked really artsy in how it treated the story. Stuff that happened in the past was mixed with stuff that happened many years later, which would be very confusing to people who know nothing about the story. I hate to say this, but in some ways it was a better movie than The Secret Life. I can't believe those words are coming out of my mouth (well, typing fingers), but they are. It treated the subject more realistically, in some ways. I mean, let's face it, he was a gay serial killer. There should be some scenes that clearly depict a gay sex life. Carl kind of shied away from that, somewhat. I knew when I saw the scene where Jeff broke down and had the intense crying jag that it was a bit better movie. There was lots of good detail. Not completely factually accurate, but it did depict the story more like this was an actual person.
The only thing that annoyed the heck out of me was one particular character kept going, "Jeffrey Jeffrey Jeffrey Jeffrey." He was a GROWN MAN, he liked being called JEFF. Like most men named Jeffrey! XD STOP SAYING JEFFREY. And there was one particular scene where the dude kept saying his name. JEFF! It's JEFF! It's like grown men named TIMMY! TIM! Call him TIM! Just a pet peeve of mine.
And these days, whenever someone says, "Timmy," I instantly think of, "TIMMAH!" from South Park. XD
Anyway, I want that movie on tape now. If anyone's totally confused and wants an explanation, just ask. I'm not going to launch into a big story unless someone really wants to know.
Oh, and that song meme I want to steal from
mynda... ;D
Answer the following using the lyrics to only one band:
This is going to be hard, because stuff isn't immediately coming to me. If I could use two bands, that would help. But I'm going to use Bon Jovi.
1. Are you male or female?
"Ooh, SHE'S a little runaway." -"Runaway" Okay, good enough. XD
2. Describe yourself-
"Through the years and miles between us
it's been a long and lonely ride
but if I got that call in the dead of the night,
I'd be right by your side
Blood on blood
One on one
We'll still be standing
when all is said and done
Blood on blood
One on one
And I'll be there for you
'Til Kingdom Come." -"Blood on Blood"
3. How do you feel about yourself?
"Like a faded pair of torn blue jeans,
The skin I'm in's alright with me
It's not old,
Just older." -"Just Older"
4. How do others feel about you?
Somebody else would have to fill this in; I can't read minds.
5. Describe your job-
N/A, unemployed
6. Describe your boyfriend/girlfriend-
N/A, don't have one
7. What would you rather be doing?
"Oh, tell the boys I'm on my way
I got the radio blasting
in my old man's Chevrolet
I got a party in my pocket
'cause you know I just got paid
I'm feelin' fine,
it's 99 in the shade." -"99 in the Shade"
8. Describe where you live-
"And the sidewalk soldiers sing their midnite blues
While the old men recite their story lines
about when I was young like you
They say, Oh yeah,
We were cruising to the backbeat
Oh yeah, making love in the backseats
We were wild
Wild in the streets." -"Wild in the Streets"
9. Describe how you love-
"I don't need no needle
to be giving me a thrill
And I don't need no anesthesia
Or a nurse to bring a pill
I got a dirty down addiction
That doesn't leave a track
I got a jones for your affection
Like a monkey on my back." -"Bad Medicine"
10. Tell about the one who got away-
"I just needed you to know
You had me from hello." -"You Had Me From Hello"
11. Share a few words of wisdom-
"One for love
One for truth
One for me
One for you
We were once divided
Now we stand united
Oh, undivided." -"Undivided"
