spitefairy makes funny icons

Someone pointed out in my e-mail group that the reason General Grievous has the cough in RotS is because Mace Windu crushed his chest at the end of the Clone Wars cartoon series...and while I respect Lucas for tying in the cartoon to the film, I'm not so sure he should assume that his entire audience happened to watch cartoon network for 5 minutes every week to catch the cartoon. I did and I didn't even remember that happening.

Busy day today - babysat from 11-4. The Blue Angel were doing practice runs today, so we sat outside in the rain and watched them fly over the houses. I told Skylor that that was probably what an X-Wing would sound like. I don't think he heard me though as he had his fingers in his ears. We played with star wars toys, and eventually Sky dressed up as Anakin again. I asked him why he kept dressing as Anakin, why not Luke. He told me because Anakin "went to the dark side, he was this kid with the force and he went to the dark side and came back". Something about seeing Anakin as a child really connected with him, I find that interesting. He's so not realy to see RotS though. Right now Anakin is just this guy who turns into Darth Vader, he doesn't really know the gritty details.

Anyhoo, after that, I went to the library for 4 crazy hours. It was insane. They were short staffed because a circulation person had a family emergency, so it was busy the whole time. Made the first 3 hours fly by. From 8-9 it dragged though. So we packed summer reading program coupons into the teen fliers. Good times.

Nice subject line. Your good taste continues to amaze me.

I need to pick up the greatest hits CD...I had a tape at one point but then CDs became all the rage and I think I lost it. I still know all the songs. They used "You Can't Always Get What You Want" on 'House' tonight, which is what got it stuck in my head in the first place.

They used Baba O'Riley a few weeks back too...good tunes on that show!

Hm, I need a music related icon for posts such as this...

[vertigozooropa.livejournal.com]

You need to get Forty Licks. It's a definite addition to your collection.

(hey, a Stones song just came on my MP3 player!)

The only real omission, by my estimation, is "Like a Rolling Stone."

Disc one is better than disc two, but I like them both.

"If I were a tool, I'd be...nail"

Nice! Make sure it's nine inches okay :)

(Gotta dmit you saw that one coming ha ha.) :) :P

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

hahha, you know, I should have been prepared for that, but I was mostly obsessing over not having my tool be a metaphor for something naughty.

[dstntp1lgr1m.livejournal.com]

ummm, a nail can be construed as pretty naughty.....

[destertale.livejournal.com]

Especially if it's at least nine inches. ;)

[dstntp1lgr1m.livejournal.com]

oh I could say more, but maybe we should stop there.... a Nail in and of itself is pretty phalic. lol

=DDDD Yay pimping!

Also, thanks for the greivy explanation, I was wondering about that, and i had seen all of them.

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

haha, I pimp when I giggle, and those icons made me giggle. Plus I had eggos for breakfast that morning...

I need to watch that last episode of Clone Wars and see if that's true. I asked jimithingy if it was mentioned in the novel and he said not really, though they do bring up that Mace and Grievous had a showdown.

[persephones-rev.livejournal.com]

I didn't remember that happening, either. I guess that means I'll just have to watch it again. ;)

Skylor sounds so adorable! I think G has developed an attachment to Obi-Wan. (That's who he was for Halloween.) *sniff* I've taught him well. ;D

Ooh... I wanna play... but that will have to wait till tomorrow. :)
