Again, I've been on LJ.
"Whether you call it Black Friday or Buy Nothing Day, today is going to be a long day for those who work in retail. The customer might always be right in the store, but here on LJ let's hear some stories about times when the customer was wrongedy wrong wrong."
"Today is Thanksgiving in the U.S., one of the few American holidays where the only things you're expected to buy are groceries. Some cooks like to go all out (see: turducken), others prefer to just go out. What kind of cook are you?"
"Thanksgiving is almost here in the U.S., heralding the start of the holiday season and the first of many meals where you might be confronted with a traditional dish that you happen to find disgusting. What holiday food do you hate to see on the table?"
"Beer and cigarettes once went together like bread and butter, but now smoking in bars is banned in many cities. When you see smokers standing outside bars in the cold and rain, what is your first reaction? Walk on by, join them, or scorn them?"
"Goooooooooaaaaaaaaalllllll! Today marks the anniversary of football (soccer) star Pele's 1000th goal. Why has professional footie never caught on in the United States?"
"Hospital dramas are a time-honored staple of television, from General Hospital to County General to Seattle Grace. Which TV hospital would you most want to check in to? And who would be your doctor?"

Boyzone: "Better" video
This is the most beautiful music video I have ever seen.
What ruins it for me afterwards is the supposed "controversy" about Stephen Gately having a male partner in the video - the rest of the guys having female partners. WTF is the problem?! That's the most beautiful part of the video! The rest of the couples are more or less ruined for me after seeing Stephen with partner! As I think I've stated before (or almost, anyway) it's a question of focus - which is why I used the headline I used - so although they did made a point of having a male actor as Stephen's partner for the sake of honesty, Stephen being who he is, I don't think that is the point of the video. That isn't the actual focus. The love between two individuals is.
*sigh*
Enjoy the video, nonetheless.

Living as a Mormon, part 2
Another thing I need to update this blog with is how I'm doing with the Word of Wisdom.
As for now, I'm too dizzy from not sleeping to do something good, but I can do a list of what will be in it at the very least. Then we're prepared.
So, here goes:
*sigh* Yah. Let's wait and see.

So, here goes:
- How am I doing?
- Where do/did I fail?
- Pork?!
- Focus
- Quote: Chocolat
- Anden: "Tal for dig selv"
- Conclusion
- Christmas?!
*sigh* Yah. Let's wait and see.
Ideas for new blogs
I got the idea of writing them down as they come - for example: I just ran into LJ's front page, where they have a bubble, suggesting ideas for people with a writer's block. the most recent was:
"Today is the anniversary of Tricky Dick Nixon's famous "I am not a crook" statement. Let's take a moment to ponder the many politicians caught being naughty. What's your favorite political scandal?"
Although - I'll have to wait to answer that, since I'm in the middle of something else right now.
//EDIT// They keep on coming as I flip through their ideas!
"A lot of characters in kids' books have it pretty good, from calling the start of the wild rumpus to ordering room service from their hotel suite. If you could be any character from children's literature, who would you be?"
"Field mice always sleep facing northwest. Kangaroos can't walk backwards. Female hyenas have penises. Let's face it, nature is weird. What's the strangest thing you know about the animal kingdom?"
"Some people spend their whole lives preparing the answer to this question: What albums are on your personal all-time Top 10 list?" -- I have always dreamt of doing like the characters Rob, Barry, and Dick in the movie "High Fidelity"; doing top 5s.
Speaking of "High Fidelity", I came up with a new one: Naming the Danish actors/actresses you might know through Hollywood (in this case: Iben Hjejle, who portrays Laura), naming movie, actor/actress, and character.
"Bram Stoker, author of Dracula, and Vlad the Impaler, the original Dracula, have the same birthday. Coincidence?"
"It's the anniversary of the Russian Revolution, marking the Marxist overthrow of the Russian government. Karl Marx once wrote that "religion is the opium of the people." What is the new opium of the people?" (Oooh, this is a good one!)
"One of the highlights of going to a literary festival is hearing authors read from their own works. What author, living or dead, would you most like to hear read?"
"Now that the election is over, we can get to the important stuff. Why is there a light in the refrigerator but not in the freezer?"
"As the Northern hemisphere spins toward the shortest day of the year, it's getting dark earlier and earlier. What comforts do you fall back on when the days are short and the nights are long?"
"NaNoWriMo starts today. Give us a one-sentence description of the novel you plan to write."
Anyway. Not supposed to be doing this right now. See ya!
