Kids, here's the lesson of the day: people who can make fun of themselves rule.

Exhibit A: You might have seen this one.

Ben Stiller's viral cellphone vid. :D



Robert Downey Jr, ilu for this.

Exhibit B: You probably haven't seen this one.....yet.

So apparently Jean-Claude Van Damme's career was just singlehandedly revived by the perfomance of a lifetime given in a movie where he plays himself, as an actor with a plummeting career, and a man at his wits' end (I think he ends up robbing a bank, but it could all be a big misunderstanding, anyway). The reviews so far are pretty glowing; the movie has managed to touch audiences even as it made them laugh.

This here is a teaser they showed in Cannes last year. The little scene takes us through a casting session for the "JCVD" movie. It's another boring day in movie making land until Van Damme himself crashes the party...




And tonight we also have a meme stolen from doortoriver and queen_lily_rose.

You know how sometimes people on your friends list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when are they working THERE? Since when are they dating HIM/HER? Since when?" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.

( My answers under the cut! )

Hai guys! As the subject line says, I still live! Isn't that just awesome? I know, some of you were waiting for moderately good news, which I'm glad to bring. So sorry I couldn't do that earlier, seeing as I could barely type, let alone type full sentences. A big thank you to everyone (hey, naa, thanks for the nudge :D I'm alive!) who's commented on the previous post by the way--encouragement to get better always helps. XD

Also, thanks again to doortoriver, isako and my sweet queen_lily_rose who is now sick too. *huggles*

So yes, I've been sick as can be for over a week since last post, but I seem to be reaching the end of that tunnel.

( More ramblings on illness )

Meanwhile, I was not completely idle--well, while I wasn't busy lolling about, fearing heart attacks and feeling overall nauseous. I managed to get some further work done on my commission and when I was too tired to do anything else, I marathoned myself some Supernatural (thanks isako!) and for added measure, had some laughs over the Plastic!Winchester Theatre (whoever created this thing, you are made of Awesome Genius). Actually, I sort of died and lost my voice laughing several times. If you're having a lousy day and can't find much to laugh at, I would totally recommend it.

For extra crack, go watch the PWT Opening Credits as well as a cute fluffy song.
