Hodgepodge: Knowledge Given and Asked For
Aug. 19th, 2006 09:24 pmGirly Things I Don't Know
We're going to Rocky Horror (a live production) in October, and I'm leading a push for people to dress up. I have a top (well, a bra and a shrug I bought to be belly dance costume pieces), and I either have or can acquire fishnets. I have boots I don't like but keep for dress-up like this, and I think I can buy some cloth and wrap it around my hips to make a short skirt. I'd like to wear some makeup with it too. I know nothing about makeup. I do not want to spend very much money on it. Does anybody have any suggestions for good cheap lipstick? What color eyeliner should I wear? Will it look silly if I wear lipstick and eyeliner, but no other makeup?
Mothafuckin' Snakes on a Mothafuckin' Plane
We went to see the 10:01 showing of Snakes on a Plane on Thursday. It was awesome. Awesome!![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
allegram won a movie poster. The whole audience was a bunch of geeks--there was actual clapping and cheering for the pre-movie Grand Theft Auto Coke ad--and one group even had stuffed snakes with them. After the movie, we saw them in the parking lot, stuffed into the back of a pickup truck and waving wood with cloth over it to simulate wings.
Follow-Up
For anyone who was wondering, the movie I was thinking of is The Black Dahlia.
This Movie Must Die
Despite the fact that John Tucker Must Die is only 87 minutes long, it seems almost interminable.
Fic Commentary
Does anyone read fic commentary? I don't, so I haven't written up the two or three I have in mind. If anyone is interested in such things, I would consider typing them up.
Abbreviated Travel Report: Vegas
I was completely disgusted by the waste of resources (water, electricity, money, energy, etc.) in Vegas. The Star Trek museum was cool, though, and the decor for Quark's Bar and the Promenade was awesome.
Ethical Dilemma
I really want Christina Aguilera's new album. I dislike the RIAA tactics, and tend to agree with the people who suggest boycotting all RIAA labels. As issues go, this is on the lower end for me, but at the same time, I realize that funding the RIAA probably contributes to all kinds of lobbying for anti-real person (as opposed to corporation-person) legislation. Please do not tell me to go download it online somewhere or offer to make me a copy; neither one of those is a good or appropriate solution to my dilemma.
For the Math and A Capella Geeks in the Crowd
If you haven't seen The Klein Four Group's "Finite Simple Group (of order two)," you must watch it. It's my new favorite song. I love it so much I've ordered The Klein Four Group's CD, and I'm just waiting for the US Postal Service to deliver it to me.
