I started out a little tightly wound

[vovat]

This comes from lozenger8.

1: Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4. Write down what it says:
"ture. Whatever moral failure a person commits is traceable to"

2: Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you touch first?:
A barcode scanner

3: What is the last thing you watched on TV?:
Does Arrested Development on DVD count? Actually, I probably watched something else after that, but I can't remember what.

4: WITHOUT LOOKING, guess what the time is:
11:45 AM

5: Now look at the clock, what is the actual time?:
11:43 AM

6: With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?:
I WAS just listening to the Moxy Früvous album Wood, but it ended.

7: When did you last step outside? what were you doing?:
A few hours ago, when I got out of my car

8: What are you wearing?:
A mostly-red shirt with vertical stripes, khaki pants, boxers, black socks, and brown shoes

9: What happened to the missing question?:
It was sacrificed so that there could be an extra Question 21.

10: Did you dream last night?
I assume I dream every night, but I can't always remember.

11: When did you last laugh?
I can't remember.

12: What is on the walls of the room you are in?:
A lot of stuff, but none of it is mine.

13: Seen anything weird lately?:
If anything had been weird enough for me to remember, I probably would have already written about it in here.

14: What do you think of this quiz?:
It's okay. I've seen better, and I've seen worse. At least it seems to be avoiding really obvious and over-asked questions and highly personal stuff.

15: What is the last film you saw?:
Hellraiser V: Inferno

16: If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy first?:
Stocks and bonds? Nah, I'm kidding myself. I know it would almost certainly be food.

17: Tell me something about you that I don't know:
I'm currently listening to "Mayor Of Simpleton." You didn't know that, did you? {g}

18: If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do?:
I liked Loz's answer, so I'm just going to stick with it. "Everyone would have enough food and drink and a roof over their heads."

19: Do you like to dance?:
I'm usually too self-conscious, but I'd probably like it if I knew how.

20: George Bush:
Do you mean the grumpy one or the stupid one?

21: Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her?:
I like the name Anna, actually.

21: Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him?:
I'm not really good with boys' names, for some reason. I might like to go with some kind of literary allusion, but I can't think of anything appropriate.

22: Would you ever consider living abroad?:
Sure, as long as I could have Internet access.


Since I don't like to make a post that's nothing but a survey, I'll try to think of some other things to say. First of all, as I mentioned in the survey, I listened to Wood today for the first time in a while. That's probably my second favorite Früvous album, after Bargainville. I've heard people say they didn't like it much at first, but I did. I don't entirely get why the band did "Fly" at pretty much every concert, though. It's totally not one of the better songs on the album. Oh, and does anyone else think the musical opening of "On Her Doorstep" sounds like the beginning of "Golden Slumbers"? I've asked people about this before, and they usually said they couldn't really hear it. I've recently listened to them back-to-back, though, and they sound pretty darned similar to me.

The Weird Al Show will apparently be out on DVD later this year. Hooray! I missed a lot of episodes of that when it was actually on. There's also talk of Futurama coming back on the air, but I refuse to believe that until I see it.

Yeah, I heard that Futurama rumor too. I would've much preferred for that to be resurrected rather than Family Guy (even though I like FG) so I hope it's true, but I'm also refusing to get my hopes up.

[vovat.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I would have preferred a Futurama revival over an FG one as well, but the FG DVD's apparently sold a lot better. And, hey, at least one high-quality animated show is back, right?

[loz]

I actually wanted to ask you about that.

Nick and I got season 1 of FG on dvd and loved it, and laughed and laughed... and laughed some more. Then we just started watching it on television, the newest season - they've put it on with American Dad and we hardly laughed at all. I guess I'm wondering - has the quality of the show since it's come back degraded?

[vovat.livejournal.com]

I don't think there's been any noticeable decline in quality. Indeed, there have been some really great episodes since the renewal. I've heard other people saying they didn't like the new ones, though, so you're not alone in your opinion.

[loz]

Hmm. I'll have to see more episodes to judge. It may have just been that one. I generally don't like episodes all about Peter (haha, I know) and this was all about Peter.

But Stewie's voice is different right?

(As well as Meg's, but that's a different actress - and do you know why Lacey Chabert was never credited?)

[vovat.livejournal.com]

There have been plenty of recent episodes that weren't Peter-centric, so you probably should try some other ones.

I'm sure all the voices have changed somewhat over time (compare to how Homer sounded like Walter Matthau in early Simpsons episodes), but I don't recall Stewie's ever sounding much different. Lois, on the other hand, sounded quite different in the earliest episodes, even though I'm pretty sure it was Alex Borstein doing the voice the whole time.

I've heard about Chabert being uncredited, but I can't recall if I've ever heard why. Probably some kind of weird legal reason.

[loz]

I wonder if that dvd will make it over here. Hmm. Or if Mum will let me borrow her credit card. Hmm. hmm.

I never noticed there were two 21s. Hah.

[vovat.livejournal.com]

Hopefully it'll get worldwide release. Was the show ever on TV down there?

[loz]

If it was, only on cable.

I'm not entirely sure how I'd feel if Futurama did come back. I mean, it's my favorite cartoon (if not favorite SHOW) of all time, but...I kinda like where it left off. Like, I believe that Leela finally gave Fry the time of day, and that they ended up together. But that's also probably because I'm a romantic. So, if they picked up the show, I'd want them together, but maybe other people wouldn't. Most likely, they would still be apart because many shows can't function without some sort of sexual tension. On the other hand, I'd love to have it back because I've watched the DVDs so many times. And I heart Billy West.

Sorry to vent, but I'm very conflicted.

i miss wood. i can't find mine anywhere, for some reason. i wanted to listen to it a few weeks ago, but i couldn't find it. grr. and yeah, so many other songs on that album pwn "fly" ... even though "fly" is still a pretty good song.

[vovat.livejournal.com]

Well, I hope you find it soon!

"Fly" is pretty good, but, well, I heard Live Noise before Wood, and the only Wood songs on LN are that and "Horseshoes." Based on those two, I didn't know that I'd like Wood, but it turned out I did. I actually think the version of "Horseshoes" on Wood is better than the one on LN.
