We need to start rationing out exclaimation points...

[twicketface]

stop with all of the 'acting/talking/pilfering like a pirate'.
explain to me how Jack Black is perceive as funny.
come and visit me and bring a deck of cards.
write me a letter if you can't visit.
help me kick my soda habit.
be good to your family, even when they are jerks.
listen to as much Jawbox as possible.
don't clean your ears with your fingernail when we're engaged in a face-to-face conversation.
recommend me a good book, preferably non-fiction.
help put an end to all gossip as we know it
don't ever get a flu shot
find five things to be thankful for, every day.

Since getting a cat, I've noticed that everyone who has ever thought of a cat or said the word 'cat' aloud has a cat icon.

I'm giving birth to another mediocre day.

Also, I am in the mood for a long trip on public (ground) transportation.

Yes, preach it!

(Incidentally I used to have them listed as an interest until weirdo indie boys started stalking me)

And Burning Airlines, of course.

Testify!

dude, jack black. (picture me shaking head slowly side to side). i don't get him either. if someone explains him to you, let me in on the secret too, ok?

Jack Black is funny because he acts so dumb. Everybody knows that the pinnacle of humour is something so base that you don't have to think. *makes face*

I think that Jack Black is funny in small doses. I mean, most over-the-top characters are amusing in that amount. I think it's only when it's continually shoved in your face that it gets annoying. Hello, I have a brain that works just fine, thank you. You don't have to slam the punchline in my face.

On this vein, why is Tom Green funny?

[twicketface.livejournal.com]

I think Tom Green is funny(-ier than Jack Black) not because of what he does, but the reactions he gets from other people. Watching Glen squirm is part of the success.

That said, I think both of their 15 minutes of fame ran out months ago...

yeah, i can see the funny in small doses thing...i feel the same way about tom green (although i found tom green's first few shows hilarious, he got old really quick).

the main problem i have with j.black is that fat-girl movie he did with gwyneth paltrow (where he's the guy who can only see "her inner beauty" and doesn't notice she's grossly overweight). cause you know what? JACK BLACK AIN'T NO SKINNY ANYWAY! shit. that whole "he's a hypocrite" thing (fat guy does movie where the main joke is that the girl is fat) makes me want to hit him. and when he was in "high fidelity" he just played "the annoying record store guy you wanna hit in the face."

i would however give him a chance as a supporting actor- he might be funnier if he was used in a movie/TV show as a member of an ensemble rather than being the main character.

Shallow Hal didn't bother me that much. I think it's because I know guys in real life that aren't anything to look at, but expect their girls to be supermodels. So, while I did find his character annoying, I'm almost desensitized to the reason.

I read some interview where Black said he was intentionally playing these types of characters. He said he'd keep doing them until everybody was sick of him.

Ah, well. I guess everybody has different dreams.

message to jack black: you won! i'm sick of you! please go hide under a rock! : )

I have a cat, and no cat icon. I feel uncool now.

Good book, non-fiction? Hmm. I am all about Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States, but I'd be surprised if you hadn't already read that one. Um. Greg Palast's The Best Democracy Money Can Buy looks good, but I haven't read it yet.

OH! Everyone in the world should read Cunt: A Declaration of Independence by Inga Muscio (preferably the updated 2nd edition).

But you posted a picture of your puppy. That totally counts.

I made a mental note to check out Cunt when reading through your 75 part list. Thanks for the reminder, I'm actually writing it on my to-do list now!

I'm sure I've never been in the mood for long trips on public transportation. My last of that sort were college band road trips. Quite scary, and completely cured me of ever wanting to travel that way again.

Well, as far as nonfiction I'm reading art theory books, but unless you are a serious art nerd I'd pass on them. Otherwise, I just finished Ghostlight by Marion Zimmer Bradley which was quite good for fiction.

What, you have a problem with my icon? I have two cats and a feline personality. I like attention and napping in the sun.

I've never ridden on a train before and think that would be quite enjoyable. I'm low on people-watching, obviously.

I'm assuming it's the cat's tail that is moving, but it kinda looks like the foot. Like it's waving hello or something ;)
