Despondent eyes of sorrow

20th June, 2008. 4:19 pm. Cthulhu ... dancing ?

Somebody decided to create a Cthulhu copy for Spore:

... and for a whole bunch of other Cthulhu mythos monsters remade in Spore, see http://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/32452

31st May, 2008. 6:41 pm. ... summer ...

It's stinking awful hot.

The bloody annoying sun shines all the bloody time.

No snow in sight anywhere.

Barely any dark hours to speak of any longer.

Take away this sodding summer, put it up against the wall and load your rifles. I never want to see it again.

I hate summer.

I despise summer. I loathe it with a passion.

Give me winter.

Give me nice cold days. -10 to -25 degrees centigrade would be welcome.

Give me snow.

Give me dark mornings and evenings.

Take away this awful summer!

... and I don't even have my Amelia here to console me :(

Arden mena lavid sui. Degamen da bina advi mena. Bandi la, dela megata, dela saryn. Ybarin erovire sadina. Sui dent mareni banyr da garind alen harebo. Garind, garinari, garind sui! Bedago lavi dastin sary estag. Dela samiara, syran bad estomen.

Revid laben dasi menyari dela arend. Sui sera bandi. Rebeo lyera da esera mena. Estomen dig berba gans banyr elvari ad harken. Mareno sui levadi sed myren. Hasten belo garinari elva dageni. Revas la, aves lo! Revasi alba nyra toi.

... are bloody cheapskates!

Sat down to watch one of my dvds... only to find out there were no subtitles. Searched the web a bit, and: "... they consider subtitling costs to be too high in the UK."

Well, that's the only tv series I've tried to watch on DVD so far that's been lacking subtitles. All of the rest of them, including some from BBC's competitor channels, have had subtitles.

Bloody cheapskates. What a waste of my money to have purchased this DVD box from them. I can't hear well enough to follow dialogue on TV, generally.

I therefore prounounce BBC to be bloody cheapskates, berks, bastards, gits! At least as far as this particular DVD box set is concerned.

Current mood: very annoyed.

... when lending things out. Especially starfleet officers, it seems.

Riker, while performing temporary duties on board a Klingon ship, hailing Picard on the Enterprise: "Enterprise, this is Captain William Riker of the Klingon vessel Pagh. I order you to lower your shields and surrender." (Star Trek: The Next Generation 2x08 A Matter of Honor)

RIP Gary Gygax, and thanks for sharing the wonders of your imagination with the world and inspiring so many of us to use our own imagination a bit more!

2nd March, 2008. 2:19 am. Movie meme

Stolen from [info]hanzan:

1. Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.

... quotes in alphabetical order ...

1. "All shall love me and despair!" Lord of the Rings [info]ywalme

2. "God willing, we will prevail, in peace and freedom from fear, and in true health, through the purity and essence of our natural fluids. God bless you all" Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb [info]ywalme

3.
"Have you come for me?"
"I have long walked by your side."
"So I have noticed." The Seventh Seal [info]hanzan

4. "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." The Princess Bride [info]ywalme

5. "I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it." 2001: A Space Oddysey [info]ywalme

6. "I'm expendable. I'm the guy in the episode who dies to prove how serious the situation is. I've gotta get outta here." Galaxy Quest [info]ywalme

7. "I've heard of you. I heard you were dead!"

8. "I've witnessed first hand the power of ideas, I've seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them... but you cannot kiss an idea, cannot touch it, or hold it... ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love..."

9. "Man is born crying. When he has cried enough, he dies."

10. "Shit... charging a man with murder in this place was like handing out speeding tickets in the Indy 500."

11. "Somebody's coming up. Somebody serious." Leon [info]arhra

12. "The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long - and you have burned so very, very brightly, Roy." Blade Runner [info]tinyameliakitty

13. "The line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And I will make them pay for what they've done." Star Trek VIII: First Contact [info]ywalme

14. "There was nothing I hated more than to see a filthy old drunkie, a-howling away at the filthy songs of his fathers and going blurp blurp in between as if it were a filthy old orchestra in his stinking rotten guts."

15. "To face what we are in the end, we stand before the light and our true nature is revealed. Self-revelation is annihilation of self."

... not sure these are my favourite movies, but they are at least ones I thought were reasonable entertainment - and (importantly enough for this meme) ones I could find quotes for.

Minsc - Flowers are beautiful, aren't they Boo? I wish there were more to see.

Cernd - I see you have an appreciation for the small things, Minsc. You see the power in their simple nature.

Minsc - I don't understand much that is complicated, but the trees and the flowers are music to my eyes. Boo prefers the calm of the forest, though he suffers my company.

Cernd - Ahh, you are his tree amidst the cities and people, and despite your bending and bowing in the wind you are his stability, as I suspect he is yours.

Minsc - No, he is my hamster. You talk in circles, Cernd, but that's okay. Boo runs in them.
