quote of the day #13

hissing fauna, are you the destroyer? by of Montreal

today, the song below was my #1 song for today, and also where the quote of the day comes from.

qotd #11

“somehow you’ve red-rovered the gestapo circling my heart”

“the past is a grotesque animal” (a shorter version of the 12 min original)

you can hear the full version of  “the past is a grotesque animal” on their myspace as well as the entire hissing fauna, are you the destroyer? album.

here is an acoustic version of the same song, but it doesn’t have the same effect.

quote of the day #10

“…and after i pull off that miracle, maybe i’ll go punch out god.”

-john hartigan, sin city

i used this quote in an email to my creative writing teacher today. i was typing the email and it just came out of me. i had forgotten all about this line and it made me laugh, so i felt that needed to share it with you.

sin city 2 is set for a 2010 release date.

quote of the day #9

i was watching “the bubble boy” episode of seinfeld and this part made me laugh. seinfeld is a very subtle show that most people don’t get. it’s all about sociology and behavioral psychology. my psychology teacher this last semester would actually show us clips from episodes and have us identify the different psychological situations. unfortunately, there was no video that i could put here directly, but here is a link to the full episode if you would like to watch it. enjoy.

(george fighting with the bubble boy. the picture and the quote aren’t from the same part)

bubble boy’s dad (to jerry): we were watching you on t.v.

jerry: do you get in the bubble with him?

bubble boy’s dad: no, he can see through the bubble, it’s plastic.

jerry: oh, i thought it was like an igloo.

bubble boy’s dad: no it’s clear.

elaine: who has the remote?

bubble boy’s dad: he does.

elaine: the remote goes through the bubble?

bubble boy’s dad: yeah, he’s in the bubble with the remote.

jerry: so you have no control over the remote?

bubble boy’s dad: no, it’s frustrating.

-seinfeld “the bubble boy” season 4, episode 7

quote of the day #8

i was watching this family guy the other day on hulu. the end of the episode was one of the best things that i’ve seen in a long time. i was still staring at the screen with my mouth gaping even after the episode was over. the basic set up is that brian, the family dog (yes, he can talk), is getting old so the family replaces him with a younger dog who they call new brian. everyone except stewie loves him, so stewie is trying to get rid of him… enjoy.

this is the clip that the quote is from. you can watch the full episode here on hulu.

stewie: we especially don’t like the way you hump that chair in the den.

new brian: well rupert seems to like my humping.

stewie: what did you say?

new brian: rupert. humped him for two hours yesterday, he just layed there and took it.

stewie: did he?

new brian: yeah. and now every time you’re sleeping with him, he’s going to be thinking of me.

stewie: (unblinking stare at new brian)

quote of the day #7

nibbler (to fry): you are the last hope of the universe.

fry: so i really am important? how i feel when i’m drunk is correct?

nibblonian (to fry): yes. except the dave matthews band doesn’t rock.

-futurama, season four, episode 64 “the why of fry”

quote of the day #6

“voilà! in view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. this visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. however, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition…

the only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous…

verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it’s my very good honor to meet you and you may call me v.”

-hugo weaving as the character v in v for vendetta

for those of you who don’t know, as an english major i can tell you this quote is a wonderful example of an alliteration.

quote of the day #5
