?!? More in the way of Ass Haberdashery ?!?

I spent over three hours yesterday trying to make a simple but elegant Alfred Hitchcock mood theme. As you can see, it kind of sucks. But I don't feel like resizing everything and making the 60+ more pics it will need to be interesting. I think my next mood theme will feature a zillion pics of me, interpreting a selection of my many, many moods.


I know this person who will not let go of the idea that 70% of Americans own their own homes. While I can't seem to find evidence to the contrary, that just sounds ridiculous to me. Even if by "Americans" you mean people over 18, and by "own their own homes" you mean people who are paying off a mortgage as well as those who own the home outright, I still can't see that being accurate. That may be true in a wealthy suburb or something, but can't possibly be the case for the US as a whole. Plenty of people are homeless, and lots and lots and lots of them rent.
I keep telling this person that he's talking out of his ass, and that most families can no longer afford to buy a home without significant outside help. Of all the people I know to buy homes in the last several years, only one couple did not have significant help from their family. Anyway, if anyone can help me get this a-hole to see how deluded he is, that would be nice.


Apologies to the many people I was supposed to catch up with yesterday. I was feeling too crappily to do anything. Truth be told, I'm not feeling much better today but I'm making myself do stuff even though I don't want to. I'm not writing today though, I'm waiting until I feel inspired, or at least less like killing off characters.

I can go again if I want!

Rather than murder my loud ass neighbors (whose children are screaming and running up and down the hallway right now), I thought I'd take another stab at this movie guessing meme thing. I did this last week, and I think I made it way too easy. You horror fans out there were eating it for breakfast. So this time I'm trying some slightly more obscure movies, and more obscure lines from those movies. So we'll see how you punks do this time.

Same rules as before, 20 quotes, 20 movies, and I'll post your name and strike them once you guess them right.
And this time, we'll say you can only guess 4 so everyone who checks LJ on Saturday will get a chance.
