Happy Gneech =^.^=

[the_gneech]

My moods are odd beasts; this time last night, I was in moroseness hell, but now I am a happy, happy guy. There are a few reasons for this...

1. Shirtiness: mammallamadevil, the Official Suburban Jungle T-Shirt Maven, has made arrangements for 50 "Tiffany: I'm Too Sexy For My Shirt" shirts to be ready for Dragon*Con. I'll post an official announcement, unviel the design, and make arrangements for pre-orders on this sometime in the next two weeks. You RULE, Mammallamadevil!
   
   
2. Tiffarellaness: kelloggs2066 has sent me previews of next week's strips, and I laughed so hard, I broke all my furniture![1] Funny, funny stuff. :) You also RULE, Scott!
   
   
3. PowerPuff Girliness: I saw an episode of PPG that I hadn't seen before, with the girls having to solve several riddles set by HIM, or else "The Professor will pay!" It was a great episode for two major reasons: the first was that it was filled to the brim with Big Trouble in Little China references[2], right down to practically stealing Carpenter's soundtrack; the second was that it had a terrific ending which I won't spoil. Very predictable "twist ending" gag, but the girls' and the narrator's reaction were priceless! You also RULE, Powerpuff Girls!
   
   
4. Weird Al Yankiness: I have a double-handful of contacts converging on Comic-Con with instructions to get Weird Al, if he shows up again this year, to autograph a copy of La Vida Panthera, so he'll see himself rendered as a hamster. Which just makes me happy. You also RULE, Weird Al!
   
   
5. Hugh Jackmanness: Laurie and I watched the "director's cut" of Kate & Leopold this evening. The director's cut, which essentially consists of a few extra scenes at the beginning, is slightly better than the final version -- but "Kate" is still a dull-as-dirt character, and Meg Ryan still looks like she's going through the motions, but Hugh Jackman is still terrific! You RULE, Hugh!
   

I imagine there are other reasons as well, but those are the ones that I can name off the top of my head. Now it's time for "Go to bediness," so I'm off to do that. Have a terrific night, everyone. :)

Happiness RULES! ;)

[1] Three bonus points to whomever can name that reference.

[2] Big Trouble In Little China is, if not my all-time favorite movie, one of the top five. If you want to understand me -- to really understand me, watch Big Trouble In Little China.

You won't understand me any better, but you will have still seen a great movie.

Weird Al...

Yes, but will he sing The Song? Or let Tiffany hit him with a giant mallet?

I'm guessing "no," on both of those. ;) -TG

Oh, that would rule if you got Wierd Al to sign a copy of the book with "Wierd Al" the hamster in it. :)

Not sure about the breaking the furniture bit, but yes, Big Trouble in Little China rules. :) Its definantly a top.. uh.. 10 choice for me. Sorry, but I pack a lot of comedy movies in my fav movies, although the only reason its top 10, is because I'm too lazy to figure out EXACTLY where it would be on my list. Still, its a very good movie. I really need to add it to my DVD collection, now that I think about it.

Hey, there's plenty of comedy in BTILC! ;)

"Take your tie off, please."

Oh, I know. I love the movie. And you can see where they got all the ideas for Mortal Kombat from. Its got a good mix of everything. Fighting. Guns. Supernatural. Fighting. Comedy. Wheelchairs. Floating eyeballs... :) Its all good.

Ambush Bug, of course.

Gesundheit, Matt! ;)

I want to meet you, still, dammit. :) When can we get together?

I also want to see PPG -- I saw the movie which was my first exposure to them.

'tis not a good time for me, alas ... Mrs. Gneech and I are working on packing up and moving, so we don't get out much. Once that's out of the way, hopefully, I'll have something resembling a social life again. :) -TG

Okay, lemme know! :)

I met Weird Al once when I lived in Florida and he was appearing at Walt Disney World's Pleasure Island for a Halloween concert ("Halloweird").

[the-gneech.livejournal.com]

Well, Weird Al was at ComicCon, not Dragon*Con ... but I agree, it would be cool to meet him. :) -TG
