Well, I'm back at school....

Seven men at perfect height, seven noses pink...

I am being treated to the occasional episode of Animaniacs. And it's the old stuff, from before it switched networks. So I've actually seen them. Tres cool.

Slappy is still my favorite, of course.

Scene from the Bumbi's Mom ep...
Skippy is sobbing, 'cause Bumbi's Mom died...
Offended Woman in Theatre: What is that child's problem?
Slappy: Me. And in about two seconds, you'll share it.
Offended Woman: Well, I never!
Slappy: You should, it's fun.

She also coined a line *I* quote... "Well, that was pointless."

*snicker* I'd even forgotten where that came from...

Yesterday (Wednesday, though it'll be the day before by the time this gets out...) I saw Newsradio... Everyone in it--well, almost everyone--used the 'act insane and the annoying person will go away' trick. Wish I could to it at work.

I'd be able to get rid of everyone I can't stand--just by acting nuts. What a concept.

Sigh. Have I mentioned I hate my job?

Thought so.

And now, Lyss's running Commentary on the MTV Video Music Awards...

Fairly scary, though fun, opening. Was scary hearing all those songs as opera. Badly done opera, at that. Rather Subreality-esque, though.

Aaaaaaaaaand, Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice" cleans up for tons of cool things... Good GOD. Spike Jones is such a GEEK! He screams, "I watch Star Trek in a Starfleet Uniform"!

Oh, lookie, an Aaliyah tribute. Yes, people, let's cash in on death of someone... Damn, this is boring as hell. Of course, I couldn't stand her when she was alive. Now, though? Now, I truly am loathing her--hello! She wasn't the only one who died! Dumbasses. People die every fucking day. Get a clue.

Duuude. Linkin Park. Who played... well. Adequately. Sigh. You guys? That sucked. You could have done SO much better. But, I know. You couldn't, because.... You weren't given the budget or time that J-Ho was. Sigh.

Hrm. Alicia Keyes... Great performance. Started with something recognisable from... uh, Beethoven, I think. I'm wanting to say Fur Elise... Damn. And the classical CD with Fur Elise is missing. Foo.

Anyway. Alicia started on the piano. Girl has chops. Of course, Debbie Gibson did it first.

Hello? Wrote her own stuff? Yup. Played piano real well? Yup. Was popular real fast? Yup. Hell, if Debbie had been black and gritty, she would BE Alicia Keyes.

Debbie's even gone Gospel...

Moving on... During the sad Julia Stiles/Chris Kattan dance sequence, the fuckers went and did their Viewers Choice spiel. Can we say BAD TASTE? I thought we could.

I am noticing, of coure, that the show is less about the awards and more about the staging. Hrm. How sad. Of course, we all know it's all about tits and ass, anyway.

Ooh. Moby won. *snerk*

Ahhh. The 'N Sync "Pop" performance. They call that singing?

I call it Milli Vanilli, m'self.

Sadly, the dancing was obscured by bad camera work. The dancers were very colourful, though. Nice work, ladies. I especially liked the one in the black and see-through whorl-patterned body suit. And the purple plush bikini, of course. Could have done without the bright yellow hair, though.

Michael Jackson's cameo was a little stiff, but funny as hell. Most of 'N Sync weren't even BORN when he began his pop career. *snicker*

Mrph. The MTV2 Award. Some stupid band won, instead of the Gorillaz. Who should have won, baby. They were GIPPED.

Tangent. Watching 'As Time Goes By', and the church in this scene is the same church used in the filming of Campion's "Police at the Funeral". Damn, I'm good.

Back to the MTV VMAs.

Pink! Kickass girl. Like her "Call me Debbie" tshirt. 'Course, that might be 'cause I keep thinking of Debbie Gibson.

Oh, yeah. Moulin Rouge won some awards.

OH. MY. GOD.

MTV just CUT the U2 performance.

They's gonna get a NASTY email from me.

The song started, it sounded fine, why would they do this? Because U2 isn't a rap/hip/hop/shit artist. Duh. Of course. Should have REALISED....

I can't believe they cut it.

...

Of course, when we came back from the commercial break, it turned out it was tech difficulties...

U2 played, of course... And, Bono must be very hot under those lights. Black leather doesn't fair well on a stage...

Dayam. Bono wants a blowjob. Dude! If you lean forward more, she an reach the zipper!

Hate the backlighting they've got going. Can't really see the band at all, except as silhouettes.

Hrm. Now Bono looks pissed. Of course, it might be 'cause he's lip-synching.

Good lord, the guy who isn't the Edge who plays guitar just stopped playing. He looks irritated, sort of, "Screw this." Uh, dude, half-walking off the stage in the middle o a lip-synched concert looks sorta bad....

Oh, niiiice quote, Bono-baby. "I'd like to thank you for letting me rub up against you."

Hey! The Ramones! Or, what's left of a washed-up band, anyway...

Anyway.

HAH! Outcast (however they spell it, the degenerates) came out in baggie pants. Dudes! KrissKross did it first, and it DIDN'T LOOK GOOD THEN. Duh.

Ah, finally. The reason all the old men tuned in--Brittney Spears.

Well. We know what happened to the cast of Cats.

Oooh. A pet snake. Wonder if it's still alive? Brit, baby? You look so STUPID carrying that thing around. It wasn't sexy when Wayne's girlfriend did it, and you *certainly* can't pull off something Tia Carerre can't.

*snicker* Well, a lot of men are probably climaxing, as Brit almost falls OUT of her top. Maybe she should have Nikka Costa loan her some double-sided sticky tape...

Good thing the song was almost over... I don't think MTV is allowed to have topless nudity.

Good God. Mick Jagger looks OLD.

Y'know, I'm liking this 'Nature Show' theme they've got going in the opening/closings of the Nominee segments.

What the hell is up with L'il Kim's hair? Chica, you look like you've got a dead horse hanging from your shoulders.

And that is the end of Lyss's Running Commentary on the MTV VMAs...

I was bored at work, yes.

Read the funnies. Mother Goose and Grimm caused a shout of laughter.

Grimm: No more Meat Dog Food for me. From now on I only eat Junk Food.
The Cat: Why?
Grimm: 'Cause you never heard of "Mad Frito Disease"!

Lyssie laaauuughed.

Mad Fritos!

*runs*

Have I mentioned this 'no net at home' shit sucks?

Thought so.

Sigh

And now I go home. To find a netless computer...

Oh, well. I've got a new fic idea to write.

Kate Bush is bad for my creativity.

*bounces*

Happy early birthday, Indi! Hopefully, I'll be on to say it, but I haven't a clue. :)

yay!

Apparently, my sister's phone is what screwed up the DSL.

Since we didn't get to communicate a lot, it took until tonight to realise the simple solution. Unplug her phone.

Problem fixed.

Whee!

Right.

Run away for those who are inclined to squeamishness.
