Ramblings of a word-obsessed mind. I sometimes think I'm becoming a kitten blog. All sorts of things will find their way here. She/her pronouns.

Pesach Gothic

You go to the grocery store. You are surrounded by food but there is nothing to eat.

It is mealtime. You want to eat. Everything in your refrigerator is made of potatoes.

You search your house with a candle and a feather. In the morning, you throw a paper bag into the fire. Suddenly everything you ate last week belongs to no one.

Elijah the Prophet is invited to your dinner party. You never see him show up, but people swear he drank from his wine cup.

The holidays will never end. In fact, you’ve already started counting toward the next one.

You used to eat green beans. But now someone thinks you may make bread out of green beans, so now you can’t eat green beans.

Day five. You believe you will never again eat anything that doesn’t incorporate potatoes in some way. Rice eaters seem like the luckiest people in the world.

A weasel has brought a crust of bread into your back yard. You panic. The rabbi says not to worry, because the weasel is not employed by you.

oh my god i'm cleaning out my desk and i found my first phone

it was a fucking house phone that i was so stoked to have because it was mine that i kept in my own room and i cannot believe technology has progressed at the speed of FUCKING light to the point where this is a hilarious artifact to have had in like 6th grade and now theres kindergarteners with iphones

[princess-peridot]

How did you know if you dialed the right number

[tamascotchi-deactivated20190101]

each button made a different tone so the numbers you dialed a lot became a subconscious melody in your head and if you hit the wrong button by accident it would sound like a wrong note in a song you know by heart

[teaboot]

i can’t beleive that is a legitimate question in my lifetime

[notevensneaky]

Other acceptable answer: the wrong person answers on the other end.

I don’t think there are many directors who can claim to be as versatile as George Miller

[its-wormtrain]

ok but this doesnt even scratch the surface of George Miller, Dr Director.

before getting into making huge fucking films, george miller spent his time getting a medical doctorate to become an emergency room physician, only to make a one off experimental film in his final year of med school that won a student competition and apparently got him to go “oh i can have TWO careers!”

while working as a doctor full time, he would crew on whatever experimental short films were happening in the area, until he got enough money to found the kennedy miller productions company with his friend and frequent film partner byron kennedy. they stuck to short films for several years, before miller decided eh fuck it and did Mad Max.

he remained a working physician all the way through mad max 2, both for covering filming costs, and because you’re required to have a doctor on set for films, so he was like oh hey ill handle that then.

after that he was on a rollercoaster of bigger films, mostly action, horror, or black comedy.

in the early 90s he had some kids which apparently was an OH NO MY KIDS CANT WATCH ANY OF MY FILMS moment, leading him to want to try his hand at children’s films for a while–turns out his favorite film of all time is friggin PINOCCHIO. he primarily worked on those while raising his kids, before heading back to mad max. and, yes, he is still usually the first doctor on set who treats people during breaks.

AMAZING. ADDITION. WOW.

I love how the INTERPOL pretzel cart is actually really good pretzels.

Does INTERPOL just have such a huge pretzel cart disguise budget that they get the highest quality of pretzels available? Did they specifically select the agent with the greatest proficiency for making pretzels?

Or maybe they put an agent on pretzel cart surveillance duty years ago, and he thought of it as just another undercover job, making his shitty pretzels and reporting back to his masters, but then something he never expected happened. He started to care about the pretzels he was making and selling. He got in too deep. The espionage was suddenly secondary to his true calling: making the best damn pretzels he could and selling them to hungry people near the area of interest.

[knitmeapony]

It’s the INTERPOL version of Eliot.

[gilajames]

Dude, Eliot probably knows him. (Those pretzels are very distinctive!) They hang out sometimes, swap recipes, bitch about yeast not cooperating when you really need it to, and compare knife blades. Eliot brings him a thermos of tea when he’s stuck working in inclement weather and in return, he makes sure to sneak vitamin powder into the pretzels he sells to Hardison because they both know how few vegetables Hardison ever eats.

[kanthia]

I feel like Sterling drives a major policy change stating that if a food vendor is used as cover to case a place Eliot Spencer is known to frequent, it has to be quality food

after like six seperate instances of Eliot taking a bite, staring right into the hidden camera, and saying “seriously, Sterling?”

My ideal Star Wars movie would be a nature documentary of cute space critters narrated by the robot from Rogue One, who clearly knows nothing about nature and is making the descriptions up as he goes along.
