Was listening to 666 2CN radio on the way to school this morning and heard a piece about the amount of anti-European (especially anti-French) feeling that is running high in the US. Americans have been doing drastic things like removing French wine from their restaurant menus and renaming french fries "freedom fries" (???) And all because the French don't support the war on Iraq!! *gawks at the utter STUPIDITY of it all* Good for the French, say I! If you're wondering about the subject line, apparently that's one popular name for the French. (would ANYONE now deny the complete idiocy and weirdness of the Americans? Rather original insult, though)Also heard a couple of anti-French jokes which are mean but damn hilarious and could probably be applied to anyone if you tried really hard:
Q: How many Frenchmen does it take to defend Paris?
A: We don't know. It's never been tried.
Q: What's the difference between the French and toast?
A: You can make soldiers out of toast.
Very mean indeed. But rather funny. *giggles then feels guilty*
Anyway. Am looking forward to long weekend of homework and cleaning *groans* Am only allowed to go to party on Saturday night if I finish all my work first!! So unfair, as I doubt I will. Too much! Oh so much!! My mum is getting very mean lately.
Also need to find time to watch some more Buffy at some point. (Teegs I SWEAR your video will be returned on Monday.) Pitch Black is on tonight and I want to watch that - apparently very good/scary scifi.
Liz and Eugenie - there are new chapter of BOTH my stories up! Review when you have time!!! Yes finally another Diaries entry, which I completed very late on Wednesday night. Enjoy it. There won't be another for a while, I expect!
Mel I can't be stuffed to write a proper email so I am RSVP..um..ing.. here, kay? I'm coming :-) Looking forward to it immensely, in fact.
My photos from the crazy LOTR/HP par-tay have been developed and will be available for inspection on Mon if anyone wants to order copies. 75c each I think, if I get requests for more than 10.
Downloading some of the Utena movie! 135,980,032 frigging bytes, and that's just a third of it. Gonna take FOREVER!
Teegs if you keep going on about how much money you get...*makes strangling motions* And your talk of buying multiple presents is rather distressing for those pauper-like ones of us who will be made to look cheap and patetic beside your glorious richness and generosity!
Going to go and..um..do my maths homework. (aka finish sweet sweet samba clip and print mellie's card and write some of quindlemire...)
