Whee, homework, *iz ded*

[active_apathy]

Today, it feels like I've suddenly become a machine for turning vast quantities of tea into voluminous piles of research and tracts of prose. And, were I a Dinosaur Comics comic, the next thing in this entry would have to be:

TRANSMOGRIFYING TEA INTO ASSIGNMENTS¹

But now, entry text. Not that I have a lot to say at the moment, apart from "OMGcamelliasinensis" and "sleeeeeepy". My homework, on the other hand, is going with "I'm in ur brain, fryin ur synapsez", or possibly just "all your keystroke are belong to me". And it's tea from paper bags, because my pretty and shiny and lovable silver teapot is currently defunct. Woe!

Did I mention this is my attempt at avoiding writing out my next seven answers as "Alas, my mind, she is le broken"?² Oh, good. Because it is, and because today I'm not entirely sure that I aten't dead, but my fingers keep moving and words appear on the screen so I'm guessing that something still works.

Plus, I feel vaguely ill and moderately hungry and entirely sleeeeeepy.

Still, I have to get this done, rather than doing any of a number of things that might be more fun, such as:

• baking a cake
• sleeeeeeeping
• collapsing on the floor in a little puddle of meltified person
• starting a zombie zoo (a zombielogical park?)
  
• investigating some $5 wine
• removing a tonsil with the foil cutter on a corkscrew
• researching ways of making candlewax the food of the future
• baking a candlewax cake to illustrate the versatility of future food
• declaring that soylent wax is people
• discussing dipping sauces with a dragon
• discussing dragons with a dipping sauce
• removing dragon tonsils with the foil cutter on a corkscrew
• building a trebuchet
• building a second trebuchet, not too expensive, and placing it slightly higher for a split-level effect with a little path in the middle

Alas, it's not to be, so now I go to do more homework. Wheee³.

ETA: I just untwisted the lead for my headphones. It reaches so much further now.

ETA2: And then there was a radio ad for some real estate agency, which said, quote, "how about 40? 40 agents...". My brain? "40! 40 agents! HA HA HA!"⁴

1. I am, of course, not a Dinosaur Comics comic.
2. Not that I actually would. No, "RAAAARRR! I kill you now!" is probably far more likely.
3. Sound(s) of excitement may, at discretion of the individual making the aforementioned sound(s) of excitement, not contain, involve, be present for, be affiliated with, or have breakfast with any form of actual excitement.
4. OMG! Footnoting on an EDIT! But now I want a Count von Count language thing for Google, which adds, for example, a "HA HA HA!" at the end of the numbers for the results page. And, really, there's already mock-Swedish.

regarding footnote numero 4: ...and Klingon. o.O

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

I'm not about to even try Google in Klingon. I imagine I'd probably be able to use it - like most Netizens, I can Google by feel by knowing where all the buttons go, and so not having to read them.

Plus, it's Klingon. At least you can Google in mock-Swedish (or, maybe one day, von Count) and still have at least a little dignity. :)

Thanks to you, I'm now thinking about zombies in conjunction with two trebuchets.

...ZOMBIE BADMINTON.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

ZOMBIEMINTON!

With zombie- wait. No. Shuttlezombies! Your siege crew has to detach the sling and catch the shuttlezombie when it's flung back, then fire it again as quickly as possible. The first siege engineers to fail lose a point pick one of their crew for the brain eating phase of the game. The first crew unable to recock the trebuchet loses.

Briliant! We can have tournaments, with different classes using zombies in different stages of decomposition. It'll even advertise itself - the zombie-moans dopplering back and forth will be heard for miles!

[fireflyfailure.livejournal.com]

they should have a sesame-street themed google section--von count, maybe one all in pictures....hmmm...:P

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

omg
*dies*

GIP.

Except that (a) results in Big Bird Google would vanish just before you tried to click on them, and (b) the "I'm Feeling Lucky" "Good Enough for Me" button in Cookie Monster Google would link 'cookie' to here.

Your icon always makes me think of Dance Dance Revolution.

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

You should see cleolinda's V For Vendetta icon.

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

Er, I mean, the one about DDR. Cos she has a few bazillion V icons XP

[eighthcloud.livejournal.com]

You all need quite a bit of help.



Also, transmogrifiers are totally from Calvin and Hobbes. Mr Dinosaur Comics must have read C&H as a lad if he uses it too.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Yes, transmogrifiers are from Calvin and Hobbes, but that up there was just me putting that in because it seemed like fun. I don't know of an actual Dinosaur Comics transmogrifier, especially since a transmogrified T-Rex wouldn't be as good at stomping things.

And what's wrong with the zombie trebuchet?
