Freak-y Freitag

31 Jul

I hate myself a little for that subject line.

And so we return to our regularly scheduled programming with image #5. Fabulously timed, if I do say so myself:

Jack and Connor

I know I’m not supposed to caption or explain these, but I do have to say one thing:

Chikkinz!

Symphony was brilliant as ever, thanks for the good wishes. My husband even stayed home to go with me, and will now be departing first thing in the morning. S’alright, he got to drink crappy wine and listen to awesome music while barefoot. Worth it, I’m sure.

Er, I mean, he got to spend time with me! Yeah! That!

They were live-twittering program notes during Beethoven’s 6th (with which they closed out the show. I twittered about how it improved with the help of lots of Virginia Crickets), which might be the best idea ever. I wish I’d known before, I would’ve set my phone up to actually get alerts.

Gonna go see La Boheme there next weekend. Live twittering English translations, perhaps? Nah, they’ll have ‘em up on the screen…

    Because Natalie is on holiday, I’ll add a second Chikkinz! for you. :D

    My father-in-law (who is 85) raises chickens and turkekys, but I don’t think that he would get the humour in that!

    I’m still a little fuzzy on the whole twitter-verse thing. Guess I’m a dinosaur.

    At least I’m not a chicken…although they might be related.

    Cate, thank you. It needed said.

    Nat, it is one of my chief pleasures. From Watson and Holmes on down!

    Alan, no, probably not. Of course, there are vastly funnier moments in Freakangels– that one was just on my HD because it involves my two favorite characters and I wanted it as a desktop background…

    Aaron, it’s true! I had a conversation with Neuronaut Reenie about that very thing. I said birds freak me out (they do) and she said it’s because they have dinosaur brains.

    Freaky, dude.

    Chikkinz!!

    Because it had to be said yet again. ;)

    And yes, there are funnier scenes – I like the one with Kait and Arkady and the chikkinz, myself. But that was a good one!

    Could be worse, though – could be octopus brains…. arggh.

    Agreed, Sue. Any scene where some chick threatens to cut off another chick’s nipples–

    Huh. Come to think of it, that’s kinda sick. Oh Warren Ellis, you make life worth living.

    Reenie, I am shuddering just thinking of them. Evil little donut-brained bastards!

    Chikkinz!!1!one!!

    “Kait’s being horrible to me!”

    Loved it. SO much.
