Kittens McTavish! /random

I love that cheesy Three Musketeers from the 70s, the one with Michael York. Haven't seen any of the other ones.

That's not cheesy! That's Richard Lester!

Oh, I had such a crush on Keifer Sutherland after Lost Boys. I maybe had a thing for bad boys. Actually, I still have it, but I just know better.

Wish me adamantium claws!

Oh, heck no. Without the special healing powers, they would make a very messy mess each time you tried to use them. Plus it would hurt like a bitch.

"Try not to bleed on my couch; I just had it steam-cleaned."

For bonus points, use insults and poisonous plant names.

I used to have a Latin phrase book that included a section covering special occasions such as bank robberies. I wonder where that went....

That's not cheesy! That's Richard Lester!

Would you prefer I called it campy? Anyway I love that movie.

Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabis, ad te mittam Catapultam habeo magno saxi*

Not particularly useful in your situation, Ginger, but how about "Vos omnes cerebella a cameli intestina"?

• *I have not found the book, but Google Translate is my canis praecisae.

Tim Curry being evil is always worth a couple of bucks.

Thanks for the pictures, Kat and Teppy! I'm glad you found a house, Kat. I missed the pictures of the yard, but it sounds wonderful.

Teppy, the house is definitely swank, as is the dude out front. But it's the moon-over-water picture that gave me a sudden homesick pang. Our timeshare condo was right on the water, second floor, so a little elevated view. It was on an Outer Bank, and so was situated so that we got both sunrise and moonrise over the water. I miss that, a lot. You skip a stone on the water for me, would you?

Ginger, dude is full of himself. I'm sorry you have to deal with his nonsense.

Yay, Merlin the brave! Well, brav-er, anyway.

Also woot! on the new cars for deserving women!

I know there was more, but I forgot. Ooh--Suzi, it may have been Natter, but good for you on your belt test!

And E-O, thanks so much for the sunscreen rec--everything I've used in the last four years has just irritated my skin. I'm down to plain water, and a little plain Aveeno mixed with water for moisturizer when I direly need it.

I know escrow hasn't opened yet but, I have started packing, woo hoo. CDs DVDs and video games are all packed.

If I can't have adamantium claws, would someone handy at least make me a a splint that pops out blades, a la Angel?

Also suggestions for Latin, Ginger:

1) Futue te.

("Go fuck yourself.")

2) Avis in caput magnum futuens tuum cacet.

("May a bird shit on your fucking big head.")
