I love the middle seasons and the sixth season is no different -- so many good quotes I didn't realize were season six:

Homer: Never! Never, Marge! I can't live the button-down life like you. I want it all: the terrifying lows, the dizzying highs, the creamy middles. Sure, I might offend a few of the bluenoses with my cocky stride and musky odors -- oh, I'll never be the darling of the so-called city fathers, who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards, and talk about what's to be done with this Homer Simpson?!

Announcement: Attention, Marge Simpson: your son has been arrested. [later] Attention, Marge Simpson: we've also arrested your older, balder, fatter son.

Homer: Back, you robots! Nobody ruins my family vacation but me... and maybe the boy!

Lisa: I don't think Bob won that election legally. I can't believe a convicted felon would get so many votes and another convicted felon would get so few.

Willy: Now look, boy: if your Dad goes gaga, you just use that... Shin of yours to call me and I'll come a-running. But don't be reading my mind between four and five. That's Willy's time!

Warrants repeating:
Marge: Have you noticed any change in Bart?
Homer: New glasses?
Marge: No... he looks like something might be disturbing him.
Homer: Probably misses his old glasses.
Marge: I guess we could get more involved in Bart's activities but then I'd be afraid of smothering him.
Homer: Yeah, and then we'd get the chair.
Marge: That's not what I meant.
Homer: It was, Marge, admit it.

Marge: I'm worried about the kids, Homey. Lisa's becoming very obsessive. This morning I caught her trying to dissect her own raincoat.
Homer: [scoffs] I know. And this perpetual motion machine she made today is a joke! It just keeps going faster and faster.
Marge: And Bart isn't doing very well either. He needs boundaries and structure. There's something about flying a kite at night that's so unwholesome. [looks out window]
Bart: [creepy voice] Hello, Mother dear.
Marge: [closing the curtains] That's it: we have to get them back to school.
Homer: I'm with you, Marge. Lisa! Get in here. In this house, we obey the laws of thermodynamics!

Jasper: Talking out of turn... that's a paddling. Looking out the window... that's a paddling. Staring at my sandals... that's a paddling. Paddling the school canoe... oh, you better believe that's a paddling.

Lisa: I can't relax, nor can I yield, relent or -- only two synonyms? OH MY GOD! I'M LOSING MY PERSPICACITY!!!! AAAAAAAAHHH! [runs away]
Homer: It's always in the last place you look.

Homer: Boy, when Marge first told me she was going to the police academy, I thought it'd be fun and exciting, you know, like that movie, Spaceballs. But instead it's been painful and disturbing like that movie, Police Academy.

And of course, followng the Police Academy insult train: "How could you?! Haven't you learned anything from that guy who gives those sermons at church? Captain Whatshisname? We live in a society of laws. Why do you think I took you to all those Police Academy movies? For fun?! Well, I didn't hear anybody laughing! Did you?! Except at that guy who made sound effects. Where was I? Oh yeah: stay out of my booze."

Hehe and so much more! It's funny, I read some reviews of these older episodes and a number of people thought they were horrible, while I was too young to see it and understand it at the original air date. Now I think the new ones suck, but I don't think I'm biased, I actually quite liked it up to around 2001, 2002. These last two seasons were like, WTF? Maybe ten years down the line, I will be quoting fom the sixteenth season, too. Hm... ::ponders thoughtfully for no reason again::

Oh and I really hate Dual Discs, of which I already own three (music and DVD content for the same price as the song album -- can't... resist...). In the new imports I've seen they still release them in two separate discs. Are DD's that popular?? I think Dual Disc sucks because now it's twice as likely for the information to get marred, plus, no disc art!! It's also a real bitch to store. I'm so glad the Revenge of the Sith soundtrack (which includes a DVD) didn't opt to go the double D way. I finally gained a little respect back for George Lucas.

I think this pair of earphones lasted the longest, but alas it had to go sometime. That's the circle of life. I shall have to procure another pair tomorrow somehow, thus beginning another life cycle. Maybe I should stop listening to music in bed.

So I came back about five hours ago after visiting some family. My bowels will never let me forget they are the rulers of my body; my motion sickness reared its ugly head as my uncle drove us around Connecticut looking at For Sale signs. I can handle vehicles moving down the high/free/express/roadway at 30 mph+, but once the thing starts lurching and turning around and cartwheelin', I WANT TO BARF. It used to be that I couldn't even handle subways; now I can do a merry jig on the subterranean tracks without turning any shade of green. But anything above ground (except trains) is tricky. I have to eat something before getting on the bus or I will die. If it's a car, just fly out to the highway and start driving from there because I can't handle city streets without mumbling abdominal curses.

Other than that, it was a nice change of pace and it was cool out there at night, temperature-wise. I hate the heat and want autumn and winter to come now. So I can wear lots of layers. I'm like an onion that way.

In about 12 hours I will be on a bus hurtling toward the mainland. But where? Halifax? Cheyenne? Tegucigalpa???? No, I shall be going along the Boston Post Road to southeastern Connecticut. And what exactly is in SE CT? Only Foxwoods, Mohegan Sun, and PROXIMITY TO RHODE ISLAND!

Be back in three days. "Keep cool mah babies!"

I never understand dreams. I dreamt that I was lost with all my old classmates, and I don't mean lost-in-a-mall lost, but lost like that ABC show Lost. I think we were on an island and we were waiting for someone to pick us up. Anyway, a mystery ensues because for some reason my Manhattan Portage messenger bag was stolen. I go around asking people and finally it turns out Eddie took it and put it somewhere. So I confront Eddie and I say, "if you don't give that bag back to me you'll have to pay me $30 or $40 for it." He says he'll get it and it turns out all my stuff inside had been passed amongst the girls. Okay notice I said "girls" and not "guys" or "everyone else" because strangely enough I had feminine products in my bag (and this bag is not that big)... such as two boxes of tampons and a box of Venus Gillette razors. I confront the girls too and get my stuff back. And then something happened. Like a polar bear came out of nowhere in the hot jungle or puffs of smoke appeared or something.

(All actual people from my past and my real bag featured in my dream!)

It was weird since it was like a combination of two of my favorite new TV drama series to come out last year, Lost and Veronica Mars. Watch it on Wednesdays at 9 pm in the new fall season!!

Which reminds me, there's too much stuff coming out in the last two quarters of this year





This is all the stuff I want... that's available for pre-order

Nope, maps.google.com does not work on IE. Too bad I use it so much. DAMN YOU, GATES!

I agree with chloefoxx
Mainland... china?

^^From the previous entry's comment page... hahaha this made laugh so much and I don't know why. I usually refer to the rest of the U.S., nay, the continent as the "mainland" because I live on an island... Manhattan island. -_-,

So I really came by to say I finally cleaned my keyboard today for the first time since uh, ever. Unless you count dusting it with a special electronics duster thingy a couple of times a year. I pulled out the keys and it was crustier than a hobo's ass crack, but now I have restored it practically to its former glory. Now it just looks gently used.

I'm not sure why, but I have decided on writing a lot more here in the future, and I plan on returning to the mainland very soon. I will possibly recount this adventure. Meanwhile, I'm bored bored bored in summertime, but I love languages.

quand tu me prends dans te bras quand je regarde dans tes yeux je vois qu'un Dieu existe c'est pas dur d'y croire

antes de conocerte el mundo era plano aunque lo discuta usted Señor Galilei y me cansé de besar ranas en vano pero el príncipe azul jamás lo encontré

y así llegaste tú devolviéndome la fe sin poemas y sin flores con defectos con errores pero en pie

y siento algo en ti algo en entre los dos que me hace insistir cuando miro en tus pupilas se que Dios no dejo de existir tú lo haces vivir

la vida es una colección de recuerdos pero nada como tú recuerdo tan bien de la redondez que tienen tus labios al olor de tu pelo el color de tu piel

no pienses que dirás y me voy a resignar eres lo mejor que me ha pasado entre lo mundano y lo sagrado y aun más

y siento algo en ti algo en entre los dos que me hace insistir cuando miro en tus pupilas se que Dios no dejo de existir tú lo haces vivir

quand tu me prends dans te bras quand je regarde dans tes yeux je vois qu'un Dieu existe c'est pas dur d'y croire
