And I told Shirley to get her own goddamned poolboy!

: whiskerslily; December 6th, 19:15

Seriously. Am I the only one who thinks they hired Rorschach as a copywriter for khaki pants campaigns??

Just look at this sentence: "BUT TODAY, THERE ARE QUESTIONS OUR GENDERLESS SOCIETY HAS NO ANSWERS FOR. THE WORLD SITS IDLY BY AS CITIES CRUMBLE..."

Holy shit, man. Not before I have my coffee. Remember, this is ... an advert for khaki pants. KHAKI PANTS, people.

(P.S. I love how it says "THE WORLD DECIDED IT NO LONGER NEEDED MEN", because obviously "the world" is code for "the women". BECAUSE WOMEN RUIN EVERYTHING OMG AND THEY HAVE COOTIES, YUCK.......)

Hybrid: My New Guilty Pleasure

"Ignorance is bliss/ 'Tis folly to be wise"

: whiskerslily; November 11th, 16:44

Finals are coming up and of course -- there is a shit storm of work they are dumping suddenly on us. THANKS. Oh thanks so fucking much.

Meanwhile, I'm becoming cynical and apathetic.
I'm not even in my 20s yet (I've still got another month before I'm 20, dammit) and I'm starting to sound like a jaded divorcee with a drinking/nicotine problem.

WHERE IS THE INNOCENT HOPE OF YOUTH? Well, I guess, I ... don't have it. D:

high heels on rainy days

: whiskerslily; October 19th, 21:02

It rained like crazy today, partially flooding the sidewalks...
and I wore high heels. Yep. Well, actually they were leather high heels so they kept my feet nice and covered, without making me look like a cheap hooker (uh, at least, I thought I looked pretty classy anyway)... and plus my pants stayed dry and mud-less... which is just how I like my pants thank you very much. And I felt amazing being so effing tall. The world looks so different at 5'9" compared to my usual, average 5'6"-ness.

I'm starting to see the logic behind why heels were even invented in the first place.

F*** it's cold

: whiskerslily; October 10th, 1:52

I'm freezing my ass off, since the heater is broken
I should probably start my Othello paper sometime soon, but I'm a lazyperson and it's TGIF (oh, fuck, no it isn't... it's actually 1:57 AM Saturday... meh)
Also, DAMN YOU, HIPPY ROOM MATE (just kidding... I adore her) STOP DUMPING YOUR ORGANICALLY-WEAVED CLOTHES EVERYWHERE. AND OTHER "ORGANIC" THINGS, IF YOU CATCH MY DRIFT. I LOVE YOU BUT STOP BEING SUCH A HIPPY. IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S THE '60S ANYMORE (I wish... this generation is lazy and needs to get up off the couch every so often, jesus christ) DAMMIT.

BAH. YOU KIDS GET OFF MY LAWN.

Anti- Twilight, Pro-Watchmen Icons

: whiskerslily; September 6th, 21:17

Disclaimer for preventing butthurt: This post is just supposed to be a way of poking fun at the Twilight series, but I have nothing against Twilight fans (every person has a right to geek over whatever they want IMHO, and I am not one for starting geek-on-geek internet violence).

Remember: If you take any icons, please credit & comment.

Thanks!

Woo ISTJs represent

: whiskerslily; July 21st, 18:51

So, I just took one of those Jungian quizzes online; I am a ISTJ.

That's pretty much what I expected.

Basically, an ISTJ means I'm a very SRS BSNS person. Which is actually true IRL, especially when it comes to school and work. This journal is really a place for me to vent out my fandom craziness, so I can be serious later.

BTW, it is my quilty pleasure to take these Jungian quizzes while pretending to be my favorite fandom/literary characters. It's more fun than it should be.

Retro-Futurism

: whiskerslily; July 14th, 0:44

Retro-Futurism is what I really, really want the future to look like. Technologically advanced, yet classy... with lots of martinis and fedoras and pencil skirts. Goddammit, I know it's stupid and idealistic ... but you have to admit that the optimism people felt during the 1950s -60s about technology was adorable and somewhat magical.

We need to start making hovering, chrome-covered Pontiacs, STAT. If cars could freaking hover, it would bring the American automobile industry out of the funk it's currently in. Airtight logic, yes? Yes.

ROCKETSHIP Subways?? Yes, please.

Ah, steampunk. My love.

I wish that our modern contraptions were powered by steam and sheer creativity. . . some of the gadgets steampunkers have conjured up are beyond this world, honestly.

YouTube? Never heard of it!

I'm sick of WWII movies, BUT...

: whiskerslily; July 12th, 20:07

... I have to admit Quentin Tarantino + WWII = my mind blown. I mean, as much as I am truly, truly sick of WWII movies in general... I love this already.

(P.S. The Theatrical Inglourious Bastards trailer is the best out of all the tailers, trufax. )

MAD MEN - JOAN IS SO FREAKING HOT

: whiskerslily; May 24th, 20:22

Joan Holloway (Christina Henricks) is the new Marylin Monroe. I'm not joking, this woman is sexy as hell.

See for yourself:

Is that a pen necklace?! If so, I want one desperately.

Officially dying to see this.

"You steal my clothes!" ... No seriously. I can't imagine Holmes being a good room mate, at all, ever. GUH. WANT. MOVIE. NOW.

1930s US designers predict what the world of fashion will be like in 2000 . . . major lulz are to be had.

I think this is for real? If so, the 1930s fashion prediction of 2000's shoe styles are eerily accurate. LOL.

OH THE SEXY '60s!

: whiskerslily; May 10th, 20:36

Seriously, these two are so SMUG and BRITISH and SEXY.

How do they get away with it?

Oh, those swinging sixties ... seriously, I get a little jealous when my parents talk nostalgically about the '60s. Everything sounds so awesome back then.

Go back 20
