I was trolling around the Neil Gaiman board at IMDb, and was utterly horrified to find in this GO thread that the director had actually planned to use Johnny Depp as Crowley (um…what?) and — prepare to have your brain short-circuited — Robin. Williams. As Aziraphale. Robin. Aziraphale. I. OW. Just motherfucking ow, alright? (And let me tell you, Mr. Gilliam? That casting is why your film got shelved. Someone who actually read the book got hold of your project, told everyone they met that you’re on crack, and buried it. And I thank them.)

Anyway. You scroll down and eventually a get a reply from Miss “AvengingAngel169,” saying she always pictured Billie Joe Armstrong and Colin Mochrie, when she read the book. Which, once I got over my giggles — OH, HELL YES. Dude, just. Totally. The only real problem is that Billie’s speaking voice is so high as to make Justin Timberlake sound like Isaac Hayes, and I have trouble seeing a demon speaking like that. But, hey, dub over him, and he’s perfect.

Man, I wish there was an option on Babelfish to translate message board posts. Even when the people use actual words, it doesn’t seem like English.

Then again, its largely my own fault for going near MBs, when I know what they’re like. *sighs*

But, hey, in other news:

Oh, yeah.

According to Blogger, this is my 853rd post. That seems strange, somehow.

I made cupcakes the other day, using the recipe on the Hershey’s cocoa powder box. They are moist and chocolatey, and I am very happy with them.

I hate it when I find myself sleeping in random blocks of about five hours. I never feel rested, and then I feel stupid for wanting to go to bed when I haven’t been up that long.

Still attempting to get Glory the CD. Our MB-logo bracelets are here, and they look nice, I think. I should scan them for her. I haven’t really told her about the CD, just the bracelets. I might get her a Timbertrick one, too. We’ll see how my money goes.

I miss Mel, and my Sunny.

We have snow to the top of the rose garden walls. I’d be just as happy if that was the last snow we got for the winter. Not there’s all that much winter left, really, but yes.

I have a yen for cupcakes, and I don’t know why.

I’m trying to get a copy of Buble’s Valentine’s CD for Glory, because there’s no Hallmark stores in Australia, and their exchange rate is just horrible. I could just go to the store and get another one, but I’m lazy, and I don’t really need another three cards, so eBay it is. (Okay, yes, I could just use their online store, but I would really rather just use my Paypal credit than charge it, y’know?)

Been decopage-ing lately. I like it. I’m not sure why, man, its glue and tissue paper, and that doesn’t exactly say fun, but I like doing it. I just like making things, I think. I like even more that these are actually finishable things.

I wonder if we have any easy recipes for cupcakes….

BLUES are motivated by INTIMACY, seek opportunities to genuinely connect with others, and need to be appreciated. They do everything with quality and are devoted and loyal friends and employers/employees. Whatever or whomever they commit to are their sole (and soul) focus. They love to serve and will give freely of themselves in order to nurture others lives.

BLUES, however, do need to be understood. They have distinct preferences and occasionally the somewhat controlling (but always fair) personality of a confident leader. Their code of ethics is remarkably strong and they expect others to live honest, committed lives as well. They enjoy sharing meaningful moments in conversation as well as remembering special life events (i.e., birthdays and anniversaries). BLUES are dependable, thoughtful, nurturing, and can also be self-righteous, a bit worry-prone, and emotionally intense. They are like sainted pit-bulls who never let go of something once they are committed. When you deal with a BLUE, be sincere, make an effort to truly understand them, and truly appreciate them.
