Look at this icon. I love it so much. I'll probably use it whenever I have idiots to rant about. XD I got the idea when I watched Siegfried cream Joey yesterday morning and noticed his expression in this shot. Then I ranted about past idiots I've known to Kerri and decided that I really wanted to make this icon. EDIT: Took that one down and put up a new version, which is hopefully easier to read. XD; The new version is the one you now see.
Also yesterday morning I watched the DuckTales episode Maid of the Myth. It sounded hilarious from the case, where Mrs. Beakley's opera debut ends up causing a Viking invasion. LOL. And guess what she was singing? Ride of the Valkyries. Though she just had to go "lalalala," instead of using actual words. So then the Vikings invaded and kidnapped her, thinking that she was the legendary Brunnhilde. Scrooge, the nephews, Webby, and Launchpad went to get her back and they ended up out by Greenland. (Launchpad: Boy, Greenland isn't very green, is it?) They find a small haven surrounded by ice where the Vikings have preserved their culture for all these centuries. XD Then they can't get away until they go through with a chariot race. Launchpad is supposed to do it, but he loses his voice and can't call commands to the rams, so Mrs. Beakley has to take over. At one point the cheating opponent has a bridge cut down after he goes across. Then he arrogantly blows his horn to announce he's going to win. A piece of ice falls down from above the bridge. Mrs. Beakley wonders what her singing would do, if a horn blowing in the distance could break a piece of ice off. So then she sings and brings the whole ice wall down and she crosses over on that. XD
All in all, it was quite amusing. I was afraid, when they found the Viking hideout, that it would be another dumb episode like Launchpad's Civil War, but it wasn't. It was great, and I loved the little references to Norse mythology. ^^
The reason why I don't like Launchpad's Civil War is because it's ridiculous. Mainly, the part where he finds Civil War soldiers still alive in a cave 120+ years after the Civil War! .__. And no, there was no Fountain of Youth stuff. It was just an absurd plot device. DuckTales does take place in modern times (or at least, modern for when it was done). They have color TV, and in later episodes, computers. So even though the Scrooge character created in the forties or so went on adventures in that time period, the DuckTales version is obviously not in the same timeframe, therefore making the Civil War thing absolutely appalling. The Viking thing was excusable, because they had been secretly living and well, reproducing through the centuries in that haven. It wasn't that they were the same ones from a millennia ago.
I wish I could think of a good song for chapter 5 of Candy Clouds. XD; Maybe I'd better just start writing it and do the song later. I've noticed that whenever I finish a big epic fic, I often wind up with a form of writer's block afterwards, especially if I'm supposed to create a sequel/follow-up. I certainly hope that won't happen with Engel des Todes. I've been planning it for so long. I started thinking of it around the time when I began LATT. And since Engel is going to be the annual holiday fic, I really can't afford writer's block. ^^;
LOL. The Grinch song came on the radio. XD I love the lines about spiders in his brain and termites in his smile, but the whole song is great, especially when I'm already giggly about poking fun at idiots.
