I took out the trash today and I'm on fire

[sovay]

We have moved all the stuff.

That means the house in Manchester is empty, schreibergasse and G. are on their way to New Haven, and I am eating osmalia with rosewater from Garlic 'n' Lemons, because I am recovering. The last of the packing-out this afternoon was accomplished with a minimum of attempted homicide; and then we came into Boston to meet a third-party friend for dinner and found ourselves trapped in a molasses of brake lights coming off I-93 onto Storrow Drive, then Fenway traffic and finally college move-in chaos, or else I need a good explanation for the throngs of students on Cambridge Street carrying liquor-store boxes full of random objects. It was even more tiring than moving the washing machine and the evil filing cabinet. The dinner conversation was lovely. I'm going nowhere tomorrow.

kenjari sent me this:



Does anyone know if it comes as a T-shirt? I know a lot of people who'd need one . . .

[edit]

YES!

Should have added:

IS THOR AROUND? NO. FUCK! GET THOR!
IS THOR AROUND? YES.
In both cases: GET THOR TO MAKE LOKI FIX IT.

[cucumberseed.livejournal.com]

That is the best flow chart ever, though handful_ofdust has the sorely lacking steps.

[sovay]

That is the best flow chart ever

It belongs to the best site ever.

[cucumberseed.livejournal.com]

so the moral of the story is
if at first you don't succeed
try crossdressing

Word.

[sovay]

IS THOR AROUND? NO. FUCK! GET THOR!

WIN.

[rosefox]

T-shirts. I'm pretty sure "Make Loki fix it" is going to be the new "Get the cats to do it" around here, since the cats never actually do whatever it is we're being too lazy to do.

EDIT: From that same site:

so they go see Freyja
and freyja is like hey thor what's good
and thor is like
SOMEONE STOLE MY HAMMER
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
and Freya is like shut the fuck up man
we can solve this mystery
Loki did you steal the hammer
and Loki is like nope
and Freyja is like fuck well I'm out of ideas then

I think I'm in love.

[sovay]

T-shirts.

Boo-ya!

I think I'm in love.

I was just about to copy that!

The best part is that I hear it in my head as read by the narrator of The End of the World.

Oh, God, they do Roman history!

This is the author's interpretation of the Julio-Claudian family tree:



. . . For example, if I were a Julio-Claudian my name would be Jack Hans Richard Sumpf Paul Crosbie but then when I became Emperor it would become Jack Richard Crosbie Sumpf Caesar or something and then someone would give me a nickname and I would go down in history as "Turtle Helmet".

Also I would be banging/married my cousin.

There's a startlingly good rap about Oedipus.

Timesink! Timesink! Retro me!

This is brilliant--so's the flow chart above, but I like the, uh, handcrafted quality of this.

[nineweaving.livejournal.com]

Glorious!

And synchronous: Eight Days of Luke was my dinner book.

Nine

I think Eight Days of Luke is slightly less sweary.

[matociquala.livejournal.com]

AWESOME!

[sovay]

AWESOME!

The whole site is like that. It is genius.

OH FUCK
FOREBODING SHADOWS
THOSE ARE THE WORST KIND OF SHADOWS
SHIT FUCK SHIT FUCK FUCK SHIT FUCK SHIT SHIT
DAMN

I've started writing plot summaries in this particular blog's style. It lends itself to gigglefits.

And I want the "I hope I am a good enough writer that someday dwarves kill me and drink my blood for wisdom" shirt. I need this in my life.

Hee! My ability to write e-mails with punctuation and without profanity was grievously affected after reading a few . . .

And I want the "I hope I am a good enough writer that someday dwarves kill me and drink my blood for wisdom" shirt. I need this in my life.

Yes.

(I bet they would do one on request. You should ask!)

[strange-selkie.livejournal.com]

This is most excellent. And it comes in t-shirts!

Weird: I had "The Rolling of the Stones" stuck in my head until I fell asleep last night. The universe is being all synchronous.

Rest well!

[sovay]

And it comes in t-shirts!

I know! I am so broke! Maybe I will look plaintively at people for my birthday!

The universe is being all synchronous.

It's that time of year . . .

[strange-selkie.livejournal.com]

It's that time of year . . .

Yeah: salt your pockets and duck.

[gaudynight78.livejournal.com]

When is your birthday? *holds notepad poised and ready*

And also, you ARE planning to come to Ossipee, right, RIGHT? We get there Monday afternoon, but won't be there most of Wednesday, but Wednesday evening to Saturday morning would be a good chunk of time.

[sovay]

When is your birthday?

Heh. October 9th. I'll be thirty.

And also, you ARE planning to come to Ossipee, right, RIGHT?

I am honestly not sure. I would love to; I appear to be in somewhat terrible shape at the moment. I don't suppose you'll still be there the week after next?

[gaudynight78.livejournal.com]

Well, boo. Sorry to hear you're in terrible shape. We'll be there through Saturday (the 10th).

AAAAAARRRRRGH SITE BLOCKED AT WORK

Job productivity: saved!

AAAAAARRRRRGH SITE BLOCKED AT WORK

It will be waiting for you when you get home . . .

(I'm not sure if that's helpful or ominous.)

[snowy-owlet.livejournal.com]

Writing productivity: destroyed!

Sovaaaaaaaay! *shakes Tiny Fist of Doom*

[sovay]

Writing productivity: destroyed!

Oh, dammit! That, I care about!

My mother and I are both snorting with laughter at that flowchart.

I apologize for the various ways in which we attempted to kill you. Thanks again for busting your butt on our behalf.

[sovay]

Don't try to read the website it came from while drinking anything. Just don't.

Thanks again for busting your butt on our behalf.

You're very welcome. I'm glad you are moved!

[ap-aelfwine.livejournal.com]

Thanks for sharing the flowchart! I'm glad there was only a minimum of attempted homicide, and lovely dinner conversation.

I hope you're recovered and that all's going well.

[sovay]

I hope you're recovered and that all's going well.

I think it's going to take more than a night, but I'm doing what I can.

[kythiaranos.livejournal.com]

So much love for the flowchart and the website! :D

[sovay]

So much love for the flowchart and the website!

It's like Kate Beaton crossed with Badass of the Week: Mythology Edition. I am so happy.
