It's all about meme.

[mimesere]

halfacork did icon meme thing and asked about


keyword: daybreak
explanation: My love for this show knows no bounds, you guys. It was extremely shortlived (...longer than Drive, though, ha!) but awesome no matter what anyone says. It combined the prettiest man in the world (Taye Diggs) as a cop with a hot girlfriend (Moon Bloodgood), a hot partner (Victoria Pratt), hot antagonists (Adam Baldwin, Mitch Pileggi, Ian Anthony Dale), and hot friends (Ramon Rodriguez). It took place in a multicultural, multiracial Los Angeles. It had a vast conspiracy. IT HAD A REPEATING DAY (my most favoritest skiffy trope evah). Truly, the world hates me for cancelling that show. A whole three people watched it, but oh, it was grand. I use this for talking about race and gender in tv. Or about how hot Taye Diggs is. Or about stories that involve some kind of effing around with time.


keyword: f---- art, let's dance
explanation: Johnny Knoxville had this on a shirt and it struck me as being very...true. For me. Sometimes, most times, I just want to say eff art, let's dance. And then boogie like the world is ending. This one I use whenever I damn well feel like it.


keyword: how do they rise up?
explanation: Sprig of lilac and a line from a song in celebration of one of my all time favorite characters, books, and authors - Sam Vimes, specifically from Night Watch, from the Discworld books by Terry Pratchett. Cranky, honorable, stoic, believes in justice, snippy bitch, awesome awesome wife. The book has time travel and politics and revolution. Check around LJ on the 25th of May, people - including myself - post about it then. Used on the 25th of May or when talking about Vimes and/or Granny Weatherwax and/or Discworld and/or My One Trues.


keyword: cynical idealist
explanation: Oh, Norrington. One of my One Trues. LaT made me this icon and I loves it. It is precious to me. Anyway. You all know what I think of Norrington and why he is awesome, I don't need to go into that unless you really want me to. But let's say that I think Norrington, especially DMC Norrington, is a cynical bastard who thinks the world blows but who can't not try to maintain order and law. Used whenever I'm feeling particularly like a cynical idealist. Or when talking about politics.


keyword: fitter happier
explanation: This icon is made up of one of the promo posters that came out for the Radiohead album, OK Computer. The lyrics are very...well. Pretentious art wank. The funniest thing ever about this song is that apparently the band thought that it was LESS pretentiously art wank to have applespeak read the list than to have Thom do it. Ahahahahaha! Oh Radiohead. You do not live in the same world as the rest of us. It is the icon of my bitter, cynical, jaded depression. Also of my Radiohead love.


keyword: gert is made of win
explanation: From the...second volume of Brian K Vaughan's Runaways about a group of kids (from LA!) whose parents are supervillains and what they do in response. Gert is awesome and I love her to bits. I use this whenever...uh. Whenever. There's no rhyme or reason, really.


keyword: dujour means meta
explanation: I honest to god think Josie and the Pussycats is one of the most brilliant metatextual movies to come out recently. It's frothy and colorful and delightful, it comments intelligently on the ties between music and marketing, the production work on the songs is outstanding (hi Babyface, hi hi), the music is catchy, and DuJour is a brilliant parody of boybands while at the same time being made of awesomeness (Breckin Meyer, Seth Green, and Donald Faison? FTW.) Anyway. This is my icon for talking about actual meta.


So, you know. Comment and I'll ask you about your icons. Or you can ask me about mine. Or you can ask me questions and I'll answer, like a magic 8 ball. only with less wisdom. and stuff. I dunno. I'm bored.

Hi Sheila!

*clings*

I do not mean to keep ignoring you, darling. I just keep forgetting to not set my phone to silent.

*wins?*

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

*cries* YOU DON'T LOVE ME ANYMORE.

[callmesandy.livejournal.com]

Ask me about my icons!

and i ask you about these of your icons:

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

[callmesandy.livejournal.com]

a. the made of awesome Curtis Granderson, centerfielder for my detroit tigers. he's only the third member of the 20-20-20-20 club in major league history! (home runs, steals, triples and, i think, doubles? anyway, it's really impressive.) He makes awesome catches and runs really fast and has a blog people call boring, but I kinda adore, he's apparently super friendly and just as awesome as you think. :) Under his hat he writes "don't think, have fun" which I also like.

b. wonderfalls, oh, wonderfalls. as you know. I love Mahandra and Jaye. And the keywords are "janet doesn't live here anymore" because the original icon of these two was from that reunion ep where the girl thinks mahandra's name is janet.

c. oh, buffy. I do love buffy. and the keywords, truly, refer to how i do not think the comics are canon just because joss says so and writes them with the addition of the word "bitches" because i dislike being told i'm stupid for my opinion.

d. OTP! OTP! the keywords are "sibella" which is kinda unfair because that song is one of those could fit many pairings, but now i think of as Gunn/Wes. The chorus is "sibella, we don't make sense together but my heart's with you." :)

e. gilmore girls, rory and paris. Paris kissed Rory so people would give them free drinks but I also ship Paris/Rory, so you know, icon of girls I ship kissing, yay!

f. oh, frank pembleton. i love to watch you smoke. by the no smoking sign. Bless those Jesuits indeed for training that wonderful mind.

g. her super power is HAIR! Seriously, have you seen Honey? Jessica Alba's hair in the movie. Is mindblowingly awesome in every single scene. One of NINE Alba icons I have. I maybe should be more embarrassed about that. But I think she's purty. And I adore her HAIR in that movie. Also, happy smiling sassy earrings girl! Who doesn't like to look at that?

and in response to the icons you chose of mine:

a) supermusic. donella made it for me and it is super! Because it is um, superness and music. I use it a lot for music posts when I don't use my music with rocks in icons.

b) dear god make everyone die. from PvP, the comic. I...saw this panel and spent a good half hour laughing my head off because, um. Sometimes I wish that.

c) gunn. it's actually a promo shot from Conviction, but whatever. Gunn was a lawyer, so it works. Also, he is supremely hot. And he is my favoritest, like you know, so. Gunn! (omg, so looking forward to your time travel story.)

d) honk if you love hugs. My second Josie and the Pussycats icon. It's a sign Mel holds during the opening sequence and I didn't really have an icon that was all cuddles and hugs and puppies so I nabbed that one.

e) janeane smiling. I...really like Janeane Garafalo. And I especially like her in Clay Pigeons. Which is awesomely blackly funny and has my favoritest threesome in Janeane , Joaquin Phoenix, and Vince Vaughan. Plus she just looks really adorable there.

[halfacork.livejournal.com]

Also I need to read Runaways. It sounds AWESOME.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Runaways is...well. Go with it! For the first volume and a half :)

[ladysorka]

As I'm really bored, if you want to ask me about my icons, please, feel free.

...or if you don't, uh. This is also okay.
