Whee! More Hellboy!
From the guy who continues to bring you those cute Marvel vs DC videos, here's this brief primer on Hellboy...sort of. I don't normally say LOL, but I totally LOL'd. In fact, I would've ROTFL'd, but I have better balance these days.

happyWriter's Block: In the Shoes of an Extravagant Restaurant Owner
I'd start Planet Krypton! And I'd serve all kinds of dishes based on DC superheroes, ala Kingdom Come! And I'd have a glorious two weeks before I'm sued by Warner Brothers. Of course, I could try to get permission, but somehow I doubt that'd happen.

If you started a restaurant, what would it serve, what would it look like and what would you name it? You have an unlimited budget. Submitted by |

I can't wait for Hellboy II: The Golden Army, and things keep reminding me of it. Neil Gaimain just posted pictures from the set of the movie in his blog. And while I was reading that and drooling, this came on TV:

silverambz: Audrey Hepburn movies always make me want to go to Europe again :-)
[02:06]auryn29a: They make me want to wear pretty dresses and go shopping.
[02:07]silverambz: heh...visual image. I saw you in the gardening club variety garb...including big floppy hat with flowers on it
[02:07]auryn29a: Yes! Totally!
[02:07]silverambz: walking down a shopping plaza street with a large patent leather handbag and pumps
[02:08]silverambz: *very* DISTURBING
[02:08]auryn29a: Smiling at everyone, followed by my own theme music.
[02:08]silverambz: yep
[02:08]silverambz: nodding at the people that look at you while they sit outside at the cafes having lunch
[02:09]auryn29a: This is making me very happy.
[02:09]auryn29a: I'm totally blogging this.
[02:09]silverambz: yeah, but i can't get the beard and all out of the picture, LOL
[02:10]auryn29a: gah!
[02:10]silverambz: but you in kid gloves...that does seem to work, somehow
[02:11]auryn29a: mm. yes, that works.
[02:12]silverambz: the shoes and hat work well too, and the purse...trying to get the dress right now. I think it's a nice light blue, and a Sunday sort of cut, BUT casual
[02:12]silverambz: god, now it sounds like you should be Mrs Bucket on Keeping Up Appearances
[02:12]auryn29a: Blue? nonono. I was totally seeing white with flowers.
[02:13]auryn29a: That's Bouqet!
[02:13]auryn29a: And no!
[02:13]auryn29a: Ah well.
[02:13]silverambz: i'm having trouble picturing you in that much white.
[02:13]silverambz: remember i am not one that finds white all that flattering of a color to wear, plus it's impractical to wear out

Writing Prompt: Pick a Song
This is a freewrite based on a writing prompt from a writing community.
The song I chose for this freewrite was Rasputina's "Christian Solders." The lyrics are at the end of the story.
Warning: So far two people were rather disturbed by the story. So I just want to emphasize that it could be triggery.

accomplishedTelevision Wisdom?
I was thinking last night/early this morning that television shows have gotten juicier recently. There's more meat to them, more things to think about and absorb. I'm not talking about reality shows. And I guess I'm not talking about the majority of shows out there. Just the ones I happen to be watching. So maybe I'm wrong. Anyway, I started thinking about the shows I watched growing up and wondered what lessons they taught me. I started noting the individual lessons or themes I walked away with after watching certain shows:
The Tomorrow People: Pacifism is the way of advanced species.
Highlander: Never fight on holy ground.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Friends are more powerful than any magic.
Angel: You mess up, life goes on. The story doesn't end. There's no reset button. You just work with what you have.
Firefly: Give power to your dream and keep flying.
Macross/Robotech: Ideas, stories, and music are more powerful than guns.
Battlestar Galactica (the new series):Humanity is screwed. Actually, pretty much the same as Macross. In fact, the plot's pretty similar. Huh. I never thought about that before.
Babylon 5: Gods have their own agendas. Take your destiny into your own hands.
Jeremiah: Humanity is indeed screwed. But somehow they'll survive.
Justice League: Continuity is awesome! Also, Batman can sing! And he can still kick your ass.
Fraggle Rock: Music is everywhere and everyone has a song.
Animaniacs: It's okay to be silly. (No, really. That was an important lesson for me.)
Neverwhere: Angels are freakin' scary! Also, I want to be the Marquis de Carabas when I grow up.
Thundercats: It sucks to suddenly be an adult.
My Little Pony: Having a tattoo on your backside can look pretty spiffy. Also, who needs opposable thumbs?
Neon Genesis Evangelion: Teenagers are whiny. Also, be careful what you wish for. And life is only as you know it for a short amount of time.
Doctor Who (the old series): Humans are stubborn and often stupid. The military has no imagination. Being mathematically excellent is only good when you have a non-Cyberman-blasted terminal in front of you. Being able to talk your way out of any problem is an incredibly useful skill to have.
Doctor Who (the new series): Live life to the fullest extent possible. Make mistakes, say the wrong things, and learn from it. Also, bananas are good!
What others can you think of?

So I was putzing around the web, as you do, when I came across an interesting item on eBay: A very pretty bra worn by Sarah Michelle Gellar on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." And it's not expensive. Yet. Too bad I don't know anyone small enough to fit it.babysuehle maybe.
I then found this: A replica stake. Yes, that's right. A replica of a sharpened stick. Who buys this?
