SCORPIO
Drinking style
Don't ever tell Scorpios they've had enough, for they'll smirk at you and quietly but intentionally keep tippling till they're hog-whimpering drunk, out of 100-proof spite. Scorpios like to drink, and screw you if you have a problem with that. Most of them see the sauce as something to savor in itself, and not as a personality-altering tool -- though if depressed, self-loathing Scorps seek total obliteration. But generally, they're fascinating drinking pals, brilliant conversationalists and dizzying flirts. They also remember everything -- especially what you did when you were blitzed. Only drink with a Scorpio who likes you.
Trademark cocktails
Just as a Scorpio can look you in the eye and smile while secretly plotting your demise, so does the brandy-laced stinger's sweet taste hide a potent amount of alcohol. If you want to get literal, serve them a scorpion -- they may not love tropical drinks, but it shows you're paying attention. Scorpio rules watermelon, so break out the blender and fix a pitcher of watermelon margaritas to seduce 'em -- though red wine will do the trick just as well.

Except that I really don't like watermelon.

Then put this in your own journal, and spread the love.
Yah, I've done it before, but it's fun.
Speaking of fun:
Wheee!! Some of the questions were tricky. It came up with html links it pulled off my LJ and wanted me to identify them. Um, a lot of them were URLs to quiz sites, or quizzes on OKCupid.
For some reason, I think

sagcat would like the debate happening over
here. Lots of HP, and what are we expecting JKR to do, and lots of people argu--I mean discussing the whole Ron/Hermione thing, and if she does that is it awful that she's so predictable, and yadda yadda blah blah. That kinda thing is more interesting to you than me.
Some of the people in that discussion have the greatest fucking icons. This one is still my favorite of
gryffindor_phan's:
OMG, that's so wrong. And so funny.
I saw the new Miyazaki movie on Friday with Athir. Pretty good, but a little heavy-handed with the anti-war thing. Don't get me wrong, I agree with him, but I always cringe when people get too clunky about it. Also kinda sappy. I have to wonder, though, how much of that is just because of translating issues. Lots of stuff that doesn't bother me in the Japanese/literal subtitle version of Princess Mononoke (which is probably my favorite movie
ever) is eye-roll worthy in the English dub, where they changed a lot of stuff. *shrug*
But some things are always the same in Miyazaki movies: At some point, the "bad guys" or Evil or whatever will involve black tentacled ooze. WTF is up with that? I guess if a theme works you stay with it. *lol* Wonderful animation otherwise. Le sigh. And he's got such a talent for fantastical things. The movie is called "Howl's Moving Castle," and the moving castle in question is really freaking awesome. Or the helpful scarecrow that bounces around everywhere, or the demons (a word used with less negative connotation than in normal English, which makes me wonder again about translation issues). A lot of the fun of his movies is just the spectacle of them, especially in "Spirited Away." The plot in that one is, for me, hard to follow--and I always wonder how much of that is because I'm distracted by the pretty shiny pictures. ;-)
Made the bean salad, brought it
dragon_mintz's last night, forgot it this morning. *headslap* D'oh! And the person at church who was going to buy hot dogs I'll eat didn't. I could have fucking slept in!! As it was, I skipped the picnic entirely. I was damn tired. I came home and took a long-ass nap. I've been productive the rest of the day though. Did some laundry, cleaned out my crap in the fridge, cooked some yummy food for dinner tonight and lunch tomorrow. Go me.
And now for some randomness:
Sugar cravings: EEEEEEVIL. God forbid I ever actually get addicted to something, because I suck at this.
Best way to make ants leave you alone: Vicks VapoRub. Ants apparently want to use my wall as a highway of some kind. (For the record: I live in an older mobile home in a rural area, so the house isn't airtight and the critters are everywhere.) They're not eating anything in my room, they're just coming in from the ceiling and going into the floor. I smeared some Vick's on the ceiling edge and then put some on a wadded tissue and left it near the spot on the carpet where they're going. I found it really amusing to just dab some on the wall (yay for satin paint jobs, it won't stain the wall or anything) and watch them walk up to it and go "AAAAGH!" and then run off confused in the other direction. So I had ants wandering around going "WTF???" which for some reason, cracks me up. Especially since, inches from their little road, I have an open container of red vine licorice, and they're completely ignoring it.
Ants are interesting--most don't bite, they're not icky like roaches, they're just sort of irritating to most people. Right now I'm getting a kick out of messing with their heads, I don't know why.
Also, now my room smells like Vicks all the time.
