I'm not going to smile today,
I'm not gonna laugh,
You're out living it up today,
I've got dues to pay


This journal is going on semi-hiatus until the following tasks are finished:


--Paper on cat macros for Folklore class
--Poems edited and essay written for Creative Poetry portfolio
--Journal entries for Modern Literature finished

Any further entries until then will be either short blurts of panic or stupid surveys for destressing purposes. Do not expect anything remotely interesting for the next two weeks. You been warned.

Yep! It's for Folklore class, although it's turned into more of an anthropology-type paper on the clash between "macro people" and "cat people" on [livejournal.com profile] cat_macros. Online drama is fascinating stuff.
This only feeds the false hope that I will someday be able to parlay my love of Internets culture into a valid academic career.

you're posting the paper on cat macros, right?

(you can read my folklore writeups, all... nineteen of them, if you like...)

My dear, I'm almost twenty-seven years old, therefore cynical enough to not expect anything remotely interesting from almost any facet of life.

Bart: "We're the MTV generation."
Lisa: "We feel neither highs nor lows."
Homer: "Really? What's it like?"
Lisa: "Eh."

Oh, by the way, the episode with the weasel quote ("it's what separates us from the animals") was on last night. Had me on the floor in hysterics.

Also . . . what the hell is a cat macro?

It's, uh...basically, pictures of cats with captions on them that get floated around the Internet. Some of them are actually useful and actually funny, some of them are the kind of things that 50-year-old ladies show their friends, some of them (recently) have dead baby jokes on them. Currently, there's a little online war between the people who like the dead baby jokes and the people who like the cutesy pictures of cats saying cutesy things. My money would be on the dead baby people, but the cutesy cat ladies have them outnumbered.

Ah. Ah ha. And where do the kittens in bottles that I saw a few years ago (and vomited thereafter) fit in to this whole scheme? (Note velly Asian "Ah. Ah ha." at the beginning of this writing. I believe the cat-bottle thing originated somewhere in Asia, no?)

I must go eat some dry ramen with soy sauce. Breakfast of champions.

Bonsai kitties! That was a hoax, the cats are fine. (http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/bonsai.asp) It originated on the Internet out of the aether, which I think is in fact based somewhere in a parallel dimension of Japan.

Dry ramen with soy sauce comes from the same sort of culinary desperation that creates combinations such as spaghetti sandwiches and Lucky Charms in orange juice. I'mma go try some right now.

After trying said ramen dish

Ugh. Well, maybe it's an acquired taste. You do have at least a bowl or a pot to cook ramen in, right?

I'd rather see a perpendicular dimension of Japan (and also what the people's eyes would look like there).

Once upon a time (summer 1986) I had a pickled mudpuppy in a jar that I kept in my room (a science counselor at the summer day camp in S'fld I went to didn't need it anymore and said I could have it) until my mom finally came close to throwing up as she walked past my open door on her way out in the morning to get some coffee and made me throw it out. I believe soon after that we got a fishtank. Then the dog era began. (They're their own kind of mudpuppy.)

New recipe to try: a ramen milkshake. Hit the noodle bag with a hammer a few times, throw it in the blender, add whatever condiment packets you've got in the fridge, and enjoy.
