I had some medical trouble this week that had me dreaming of upgrading my model. The photosynthetic critter is based on the sea slug Elysia chlorotica.
I started out clicking strategically… and by the end was just wildly clicking and dancing in my chair.
CLICK THE SQUARES.
THE WHOLE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT THIS.
THIS THIS THIS THIS!
Is it possible to feel completely wonderful and completely sick all at once? Because I think that just happened.
Love it.

ladynorbert asked: From the TMI Tuesday list: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25
Okay, this is kind of hilarious, and I think you chose these at random. ;)
5. Has anyone ever given you roses?
Yes, on a few occasions, though the last person was my husband, on our very first Valentine’s Day together. He picked me up from the airport after a long business trip, and by the time we got home it was after midnight, and thus technically the 14th. He had the roses waiting for me and quickly grabbed them to present them to be as I walked in the door. We don’t exchange flowers anymore as the cats have a tendency to eat them.
10. Who was the last person to say they loved you and when?
That would be this morning, when I said goodbye to Bill. We say it kind of a lot, I guess, compared to most couples: any time we part company, end a phone call, or say goodnight. (One time I was on the phone at some office or other and had to call him to get some info, and when we said “I love you” right before saying goodbye, the lady in the office commented that she did that too, “Ever since 9/11”. It struck me as quite the odd thing to say.)
15. Who was the last person you kissed?
That would also be my dear husband, again right before I left for work this morning. We’re not very smoochy in general, but we always kiss goodbye in the morning and goodnight just before bed.
20. If you could have one thing right now what would it be
This is shallow, but I’m hungry and dieting, so I’m going to go with an omelet and pancakes from IHOP. Nummy.
25. Have you ever thought that you were going to marry a person?
*laugh* Naaaaaahhhh ;)
Image description: The really great part is the commentary by an extra below, but for form’s sake: a greyscale illustrated (sort of a charcoal style? I’m not very artistic) comic, three panels, reenacting the Stuttgart scene in The Avengers.
PANEL 1: Loki addressing the crowd: “Is this not your natural state? It’s the unspoken truth of humanity that you crave subjugation. You were made to be ruled.”
PANEL 2: Loki in closeup: “In the end, you will always kneel.”
PANEL 3: Two men and a woman in the front row of the crowd, all kneeling. Dark-haired bespectacled guy: “Wovon zur Hölle redet der?” Light-haired tuxedo guy: “Scheisse, ich hab keine Ahnung.” Translated in yellow font below: “The fuck is he going on about?” ” - Fuck if I know.”
WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT I KEPT IMAGINING WHILE I WAS WATCHING THE MOVIE.
100% serious. The three I tagged were the most common, but there was a few ”kindergarten”s here and there as well. One girl really did know German, and she was utterly baffled by what was going on.
this is the best story
Oh my god I’m dying… It’s just the mental image… a crazy alien has just stabbed a man in his eye (sort of) and people run away screaming “OKTOBERFEST!” canlskcjanscjkna send help kslnckasnc
This is officially the best thing ever. I’d like subtitles for the screaming on the DVD, plz.
I think my favorite part is that the “fuck if I know” line actually translates to “shit, I have no idea.” And that is pretty much the extent of my knowledge of the German language. Thank you and good night.

Ask away, anon or not!!
IT’S INBOXES. NOT INBOX’S. INBOX IS NOT POSSESSIVE.
(Told you I was Mr. Ratburn.)
See? (That’s my RP account I’m reblogging.)
Yes, I’m reblogging something with incorrect grammar, but I don’t care. I’ve never gotten a single thing in my inbox and I’m not sure it even works, so maybe if I reblog enough pathetic pleas for attention someone will take pity on me. :)

Reblog this if you are literally suprised when people find you attractive.
…but I think this says less about my self image than my skills of observation. I am literally the last person to know when someone is interested in me. We’re talking critical levels of obliviousness here. People have to be incredibly blunt, often repetitively, before I realize (a) what they’re trying to tell me and (b) that they’re not kidding.

Image description: a Pallas Cat draped over a thick multi-forked branch that provides separate chin and paw rests. It appears to be smiling contentedly in its sleep NOW BEFORE YOU PANIC this is simply what happens when a Pallas Cat runs low on grump and has to recharge its iHate. In a few hours, it’ll go right back to disdaining you and everything you love, and all will be right with the world.

Doctor Who Intros 1963-2010
Mesmerizing. I think my favorite is the middle right - makes it look like an 80s sitcom.
And wow, neither “doctor” nor “who” look like real words anymore…

"The campy-listening thing, I think, is false. I don’t think that there is any such thing, actually. This happens with age, that at some point you might have told yourself and others that you listened to the Backstreet Boys because it was funny. But in fact, you were enjoying it; it’s just a different kind of enjoyment for you. But I don’t think that ironic-distance appreciation is actually a different or lesser appreciation. I think most of that irony is an attempt to say, “These aren’t exactly my kind of people, and I don’t picture myself sounding like that, but I still like it.” I don’t believe in ironic appreciation. I think if you like something, the core of it is you like it."

John Darnielle The Believer - Interview with John Darnielle
-This goes nicely with my beliefs that the term “GUILTY PLEASURE” is crap. Don’t feel guilty about what you like…unless it’s heroin. Feel guilty about doing heroin or meth.
If you say that a Britney Spears song sucks, try and explain that to a teenage girl who heard it at the right time and place in her life. Does that make it HER guilty pleasure? nope. To her it’s just a great song she likes that people might make her feel guilty for later in life.
Working at record stores I constantly came across somebody buying a bunch of stuff saying “I know, these totally suck, right?” Do they? Then why are you buying them? Own it. Don’t care what some 19 year old kid behind the counter who only listens to Rocket From The Crypt and Weird Al let you think you are dumb. He’s the dumb one. He’s me.
Here are some things that people have labeled guilty pleasures FOR me:
Enya, The Wallflowers, NOFX, The OC, Madonna, Pizza. (these are all awesome)
If somebody says something sucks, it’s just because they don’t like it. Doesn’t mean you don’t like it or shouldn’t.
Unless it’s the band SCREWDRIVER, fuck those guys and fuck you for listening to it.
