Doctor, all those crazy dreams have started again

I got this from revme:

Pick one of my icons that you'd like to know about (post the image in your reply, if you can -- otherwise, just describe it). I'll tell you what it means to me. I'm sure you've seen some of them and just wondered what in the HELL that thing is!

Post it on your journal, don't post it, it's your call. I just thought it'd be a fun way to talk about some of my interests.

In other news, I had a dream yesterday in which I bought some dijon ketchup at the grocery store. Within the dream, though, it reminded me not of Barenaked Ladies, but of a Seinfeld episode where Elaine bought some. Even in the dream I thought it sounded gross, but I thought I'd buy it to show people. It was probably inspired by the fact that, that morning, I was telling bethje how I like spicy brown mustard, but don't care for the dijon kind.

In another dream, my late grandfather was still alive, and was playing with me like I was a little kid. My other (still living) grandfather also got involved at one point. In the same dream, I apparently had a bunch of junk at my grandparents' house, which I was sorting and throwing out. I also remember listening to the Weird Al song "One Of Those Days," which I actually heard the day before that.

Speaking of that song, I was thinking about how it's a good example of how Al's general rule not to use even mild swear words can work to his advantage. The line includes the line, "Those darn Russian spies won't leave me alone." Would this have been as funny if he'd said "damn"? I really don't think so.

Hopefully, I'll have something more worthwhile to talk about in my next post.

I explained to Nick about how Al doesn't use swear words, and Nick didn't believe me. He was positive that in the superlonglistoftools in Hardware Store that Al swears, and slowed it down and played it many, many times to prove it.

Hah. Obviously, he failed.

Your BNL reference was much appreciated.

And I would like to know about Bast. Why do you have Bast?

Not unless you count "automatic circumcisors" as swearing. :P

As for the icon, I like mythology and cats, so it encompasses both of those. I'm not as well-versed in Egyptian mythology as I am in Greek, but I think it's cool that they have a cat goddess. I have several icons that cover more than one interest of mine, including the Futurama Weird Al one you made.

By the way, Neko Case will be in Adelaide on the 25th of this month. You should go!

I'd like to know about catheartbomb:

Well, cats love anarchy, obviously!

That's true. My cats just choose vomit as their weapon of choice...

It's something Beth made using pictures from one of the Windows picture fonts. It means "the cat loves the bomb," but she won't say whether there's any real significance beyond that. I don't think there is, though.

What about the flying (or is it freefalling) guy? Strangely I think you've told me (or somebody) before, but still, it's weird, I was just thinking when I saw that icon yesterday that I wondered who he was.

It's Frank Black, in a clip from his "Headache" video. That video uses a lot of cheap effects, but is still really cool. I also used to have another icon from that video, with a brain accompanied by the words "got me down."
