Why Conan is still one of the best:

He's just so good when he's off the cuff. I remember he did a bit with Shlantzsky during the strike where they went out to dinner. It was so fucking funny I actually cried. I cried while watching it. Sweet joyous tears of hilarity and laugh-induced stomachache.

"Guy honks at you, you turn... Irrelevant."

I would like to own this.

I cannot think of a single situation in which the getup, in all its medieval damsel-y glory, would even come close to being appropriate or comfortable or anything that is not completely socially retarded (save maybe a Ren fair), but... I just love that color, and the piping, and even the weird turtleneck/hoodie/crown combination. It's all very regal and pretty and I'm not going to apologize for liking it. I'm not!

I just want it. That is all.

Also... Mellie!! I forgot she was in anything besides Gone With the Wind, but apparently Olivia de Havilland had a life outside of being Scarlet's milquetoast, lily-livered friend. Go figure? And it was filled with Errol Flynn. Who is one of those early Hollywood hearthrobs (like Rudolph Valentino and Laurence Olivier) that I just don't get. So anyway. Dress- yes, please; Flynn, Valentino, Olivier- pass.

Sundry

I've finally been reunited with Maude. I always forget how much I love driving until I have the car back, and then I fall in love with it all over again. I think I should become a trucker after college, and just make my way back and forth across the country over and over.

Work work work. Also, I found season 3 of Dexter online. Life? It is okay. Or at the very least... it's mobile again.

Happy 4th

But for real. I don't know why Blogger always timestamps my posts incorrectly. It's weird. How am I celebrating? Probably going to order a pizza and watch a shitload of movies, since all of my immediate family are either not in the country or too busy with their wife. Awesome!

Some stuff:

That last one is particularly awesome. I know the film was made in the 70's but I have to say that besides a few cheesy missteps (the rotating "cube" that captures the Krypton villians? How very 80's of you, Superman!) it still looks pretty cool. And I'd like to know how they made Brando glow. And also... Christopher Reeves is so all-American handsome I think you're constitutionally obligated to think he's handsome. You have to. It's in the constitution.

That's all for now.

Okay, I'll say it:

They just don't make them like that anymore. Happy 4th of July, internet. I'll be spending this time cleaning, battling the ant army that has invaded my apartment, and reading.

Oh, and watching old movies, of course.
