Cyclops Got Run Over by a Head Cold

Oops.

I let this slip, just a bit. ;)  But I'm not gonna let 2009 pass into memory without letting it go completely, especially since I didn't post it last year, apparently.  I felt like craaaap this week, and just started coming out of it the last few days.  Dk's posting of it distracted me, I think. ;)

And awaaaay we go.

Here's the holiday classic "Cyclops Got Run Over by His Ex-Wife" by yours truly, [info]brucha, and [info]dkphoenix.  And CRETIN, wherever he is.  Sung to the tune of "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" by Elmo and Patsy.  Duh.

Chorus:
Cyclops got run over by his ex-wife,
Patrolling 'round the mansion Christmas Eve,
You may say there's no such thing as cloning,
But as for me and Essex, we believe.

He'd been swigging down his eggnog,
And we begged him not to go,
But Scott (that dork)'s so dedicated,
So he wobbled out the door into the snow.

When we found him Christmas morning,
At the scene of the attack,
There were claw-marks on his forehead,
And Infernal-looking symbols on his back.

Chorus:
Cyclops got run over by his ex-wife,
Patrolling 'round the mansion Christmas Eve,
You can say there's no such thing as cloning,
But as for me and Essex, we believe.

Well, we're all so proud of Cable,
He's been taking this so well,
Not a tear to rust his metal,
He just sits there playing cards with Sis Rachel.

It's not Christmas without Cyclops,
All the X-Men dressed in black,
And we just can't help but wonder,
Should we go to Sinister and clone him back?
(CLONE HIM BACK!!)

Chorus:
Cyclops got run over by his ex-wife,
Patrolling 'round the mansion Christmas Eve,
You may say there's no such thing as cloning,
But as for me and Essex, we believe.

Now that Scott is six feet under,
Jean's conscience is clear and clean,
My! Her luck is so uncanny,
At last she can go out with Wolverine.

I've warned all my friends and mutants,
Maddie could be after you,
The Goblin Queen is out for vengeance,
So glad I'm lucky to be missing from her queue.

Chorus:
Cyclops got run over by his ex-wife,
Patrolling 'round the mansion Christmas Eve,
You can say there's no such thing as cloning,
But as for me and Essex, we believe.

Sing it, Nathans!!

Chorus:
Cyclops got run over by his ex-wife,
Patrolling 'round the mansion Christmas Eve,
You may say there's no such thing as cloning,
But as for me and Essex, we believe!

I'm listening to This Week in Tech's special yearly Christmas Eve episode, and once again John Hodgman is on.

And something occurrs to me.

Has the man EVER said anything truthful or factual that you can recall?? ;)  Almost everything he says is a joke, or a lark, or disinformation.  It's amazing how effortless it is.

Someone just showed me a picture of Amazon's Kindle and Kindle 2, and basically said "Welcome to the future!"

Well, that's a little baffling, and I pointed it out, since those are hardly new devices.

He rambled on about how they're so close to how people would show 'cool scifi tech gagets' in the movies and such.

Which ok, is a fair point, but HOW long has the Kindle been out, in any form?  A year and change?  The future was yesterday!

I wonder what he'll think when he sees the iPhone. ;D

So. Birthday stuff went awesome, especially Sat with Jenna and Meg. XD That was a lot of fun. :D Meggy bought me this chocolate martini. o.o; no kidding. It was chocolate...and martini. Two things I never really put together.

Genghis grill still very awesome. XD My leftovers are still in the fridge. Need to fix that later. O.o

So. Christmas cards were supposed to go out yesterday, but...as you can tell (because I'm posting about it), they're not. XD I'm terrible! And I'm very sorry to everyone. @.@; Just this whole weekend has been INSANE. XD Been so busy.

Um...Sunday, still haven't beaten Deathbringer Saurfang. We'll be trying again tonight. >.> I love Tuesday raids. ^^;

And seriously, I promise I'll post pictures here soon! XD Just been so busy. Other than raiding, I haven't even been on WoW enough to farm. For those that know me, that's pretty bad. Especially since we're low on fish feasts.

For those that I'm confusing, moving on to subjects: Christmas.

This is the first year my whole family isn't doing dinner on Christmas proper. We're getting together on Sunday, of all days. Weird, huh? Works out, though. Get to see more of my mom and step-dad and the others on Christmas morning, and spend the rest of the day with Allan's family. BIG relief there. And I'll get to see everyone enjoy what they got, too. :D O.~ can't wait until the babies play with their stuff. We went a little over board. *sweatdrops*

Bah, it's almost 12:30. Need to finish cleaning, so when Allan gets home from work tonight we can just go get food and see that movie. Looking forward to seeing Avatar. I'm really worried, though. It looks so visually pretty, but I'm afraid it might lack in other places because of that. I hope not. Anyone seen it? Did you like it?

Seeing movies in the evenings for the rest of the week, too. Of all movies, we're seeing the Chipmunk movie tomorrow night. XD I owe Allan a few movies this month, so we decided to just make a movie week of it. On Christmas Eve we're going to take a break and watch the Christmas Story marathon we watch every year. XD and on Christmas, we're going to (hopefully, as a family) see Sherlock Holmes. No clue if I'm going to like it or not. They took a literary figure and altered the way he was in the novels, but...it's what Hollywood does. >> and it has Jude Law *cough* I'm totally there. LOL

Speaking of movies, I rewatched Gargoyles. Y'know, Disney's Gargoyles? Sometimes I wonder if Disney should have gotten it, and if it was really for kids. XD I love it, though. Wish they would hurry and put the rest of season 2 on DVD and put the rest of the series on DVD while they're at it! T.T; Might draw some Gargoyles now. @.@; Is that weird? Heard there's a convention gathering thing for it, too. Might check into that.

On that note, looks like we're going to Dragoncon this year. Well, at least Allan and I. ^^; So excited. I missed the epic William Shatner coming to one of the panels drunk. XD It was such an epic convention this year, anyway. Heard they had something like four main hotels and about six spill over hotels. It's insane. Anyone else going?

Going to AWA this year, and might see if Tarin-kun wants to hit up MTAC with me. Y'wanna? Or will you be busy? I owe you from last year. @.@; Stupid car.

I think I told everyone we have a new car, right? It's actually a Jeep Cherokee and made of great awesome. It ended up becoming Allan's and we're talking about getting me one this year, and it's looking like our funds might be able to afford it. XD Makes me very excited there. Not sure what I want. Just something that's not manual. Allan's not set the time aside to teach me. It's not like I don't know how to do it, I just need him sitting in the passenger seat and let me drive all over Chattanooga practicing. @.@; hehe

So, as I promised, I'm making myself update more. There's not a whole lot going on in my life, but there most likely will be. We're moving soon, it looks like. Plus, we're planning our vacation. It'll probably be in October, as an anniversary/honeymoon thing. Yeah, we still haven't gone on one. XD But we haven't had the time! With all the babies, and all the stress of last year, who has time to vacation?! BUT! It's looking like a mini vacation in Gatlinburg at the beginning of next year, and then a MUCH bigger thing come the fall. We're talking either a cruise or Disneyworld. I'm wanting Disney like mad. @.@; It's been so long, and I think Allan might actually enjoy the experience. He's not as cranky and so closed-minded on the whole idea of the Happiest Place idea. XD He's actaully wanting to go. Weird, ne?

Yup, another paragraph, another subject change. Consider this my good writing transitional period? >.>;;; So, finally almost done with the 100 picture challenge. I took a small break from drawing or coloring or anything, and started back into it. I'm completely redoing Dying, I need to color Illusion, Traps, Give Up, Advertisement, In the Storm, and maybe redo Solitude. I also have to color or do something with Stars. Then I'm done. O.o; And most of those are almost done, just need either finishing touches or finished colored. XD Illusion is the only one I have to start all over with coloring, but I can easily do that on Allan's computer with my tablet. Muwahahaha! Then I'm not picking up a project like this ever again. And then I'll work on something else entirely. It'll probably be people's characters from the upcoming Weiss game or for either Terra d'Ange (there's a new book, Nammah's Kiss, soooo good so far) or the other game Meg's been running. XD I wanna draw people's characters soooo bad. I've also been doing doodles. >> of all people, Niou! Yeah, so sad, huh? Oh! Speaking of! There's one I forgot on that list! Horror. O.< I love Horror and I wanna finish that pic so badly. Just not sure...how exactly.

Okay, enough of the dA talk. Time to post a movie. Actually, four movies. XD gonna show you what we're doing tonight. No, this isn't my guild nor is it anyone I personally know. This is from Tankspot.com If you don't know this site, and you raid in WoW...WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!? They do the player test realm stuff, and figure out the decent strategy for each boss, then show you how it's done. I love the music they play. Am I weird?

Lord Marrowgar

Lady Deathwhisper

DOWNED


Gunship Battle

DOWNED (note that the vid is 25 man. XD We're only doing 10 man stuff right now)


Deathbringer Saurfang

Still working on :( (I want to beat this one so badly)


Have I mentioned how much I love the music in these vids? I still say Malygos was my favorite, though. The video, that is. Although, the person who did Yogg-Saron was awesome. But that last movie I showed you, the guy is right. If things aren't done right, stuff goes bad and bad fast. @.@: I'm so ready to beat that fight, it's not funny. XD Allan had me yelling through the wall, and I've not said that many bad words in a long time about a game. >>;;;

Gah! It's 1:00! Allan'll be off in 30 mins! Talk later, kay? Hope everyone's holidays are going awesome! XD BYE~

I've covered in the past the growing occasional aggrivation of my parents at each other, and how my mom likes to misremember reality to make it sound like she's done nothing wrong, and is totally the victim.

But today topped that.

My dad went to the hospital to get a procedure done, trying to find out what's going on with him with some weight loss.  They get home, I'm trying to sleep, but not quite there yet.  Mother tells me, he has an ulcer.

Well, that doesn't particularly surprise me, with the way those two go at it, and the stress she causes him over every little thing, and money, and the dog, and...yeah, everything.

But holy crap, what she followed that up with.

"So, it's gotta be caused from all the yelling and screaming he does at me, since it's stress related.  You think now he'll learn his lesson and be nicer?"

Yessss, because he sits there and plots out that he's gonna yell at you like some old serial villain.

I swear, if I wasn't SO desperately trying to sleep, I would've shot up in my bed, and demanded she try and actually take some damned responsibility, for pushing his buttons, and being a bit of a bitch this past year.  She starts a LOT of the fights and gets the yelling going.

I was just...WOW can not believe she said that.

I've been meaning to post this for awhile, but my brain has been, obviously, elsewhere.

A few weeks ago on Gossip Girl (Stop laughing!) at Thanksgiving dinner, it was this Huge Dramatic Scene where everyone was Dramatic and Secrets Were Revealed and Things Were Said...and they had some music going along with it.

Music which, to me, COMPLETELY undercut the scene.

Because it's the music from this video, and that's the only thing I can think of whenever I hear that song.  So everyone's destroying everyone's life over dinner, and I'm giggling away...

I just wanted to get that off my chest.

Yes, there's still more writing to do.  Some housekeeping, a few more answers, and just a few more mysteries to raise.

Just this final chapter, and an epilogue, and I'll be done.  I'd say it shouldn't take more than a few days, but...I've said that before.
