Hysteria @ MindSay

i was making myself a peanut-butter-and-honey sandwich when i noticed there was some lovely gooey white rice in the saucepan on the stove next to me. so i use my knife to scoop some out, and i had just put it in my mouth and started chewing when tony suddenly screeches "NO! NO! DONT DO IT ALEX! DONT EAT THAT!!!"... confused and bewildered i stood there with my mouthful of rice. my mother looked up sharply from her laptop and said "alex, i wouldnt have done that if i were you.... that was the rice with the maggots in it"

........

i ran to the sink to throw up.

apparently tony was going to make dinner and accidentally used the forbidden-due-to-infestation rice that no one ever ever uses for that reason. he nochalantely cooked it all up and left it in the pot looking all cute and innocent just waiting for me to come along and eat it. 

figures.

nathan took a great chance today and called me a bitch.

in other news, the body of a local 15-yr old was found lying face-down and naked on the 7th hole of the golf course right outside his log house.  authorities are slightly puzzled.

ha.

that would be entertaining. he is so mean to me.

he claims he's "only joking" for most of it, but i know better. hmmmm... the only other time hes called me that... it was the beginning of the school year, when he would stalk me around the hallways (not kidding)... i was having a conversation with him and sarah when he suddenly decided to say "yeah. my mother said that my last girlfriend was a real bitch". which she didnt. the only negative thing she has ever said about me was when i left a spacy, bewildered message on his answering machine. his mother listened to it before he did, and she called up to him "hey nate! one of your retarded friends left you a message!"

the cherry on the cupcake, ladies and gentlemen.

my gravestone shall read

"Ally. Nathan Cranker's retarded friend. Nice clothes. Shame about the face."

if i was going to have a gravestone, that is. 

i might.

one can never be too sure what ones loved ones will do after one has died.

dog food.

a thriving business that not enough dead people invest in.

probably because they are already dead.

my logic amazes me.  

I didn't like either of the videos for this on youtube, so instead you can watch this collab on newgrounds, which is where i first heard the song! :) Then i heard it again on Thursday- well, technically Friday i guess, lol- when me and my fuck buddy were on our way back to campus in his car.

"It's bugging me, grating me
And twisting me around
Yeah I'm endlessly caving in
And turning inside out

'Cuz I want it now
I want it now
Give me your heart and your soul
And I'm breaking out
I'm breaking out
Last chance to lose control

Its holding me, morphing me
And forcing me to strive
To be endlessly cold within
And dreaming I'm alive

'Cuz I want it now
I want it now
Give me your heart and your soul
I'm not breaking down
I'm breaking out
Last chance to lose control

And I want you now
I want you now
I'll feel my heart implode
I'm breaking out
Escaping now
Feeling my faith erode"

Muse- "Hysteria"

It turns out there is a power in the universe capable of stopping the Dan Brown juggernaut after all — or at least of slowing it down. Westminster Abbey has denied the producers of "The Da Vinci Code" permission to film in the 940-year-old London landmark.

Officials for the Abbey, which appears as a setting toward the end of the tale of religious intrigue, said that, though the international blockbuster is "a real page turner," the book is nonetheless "theologically unsound."

Among the book's assertions to which the officials take offense, the allegation that Jesus and Mary Magdalene married and had children surely is near the top. (The release went on, "It would therefore be inappropriate to film scenes from the book here.")

The blockbuster has previously been censured by officials in the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches.

Still, "Da Vinci," which has sold nearly 8 million copies in the United States alone, according to Nielsen BookScan, has practically made a Mecca of the Abbey, bringing in hordes of new visitors and, with them, countless "Code"-related inquiries.

But factual errors — or poetic license, if you will — concerning the Abbey also appear in the book, among them that the poet Alexander Pope delivered a eulogy there at Isaac Newton's funeral; that the Abbey is equipped with metal detectors; and — most alarmingly — that happy tourists can leave with brass rubbings of famous grave markers in hand. Tour guides have thus been equipped with pamphlets that take pains to make clear the book's factual, if not the alleged theological, inaccuracies.

"We are already receiving regular, daily inquiries related to the book," Westminster officials said in a statement. "We expect these to continue and even grow in the next couple of years … simply because the book is so popular."

Ron Howard's adaptation, scheduled to begin filming June 30 in the Louvre in Paris, stars Tom Hanks as Professor Robert Langdon and co-stars Paul Bettany, Ian McKellen, Alfred Molina and Audrey Tautou.

Barred from Westminster, producers have obtained permission to film in Lincolnshire, England's, Lincoln Cathedral instead. The film's release is planned for May 16, 2006.

Other authors have had better success than Dan Brown in gaining entree into the famed London landmark: Geoffrey Chaucer, Ben Jonson, Robert Browning and Charles Dickens are all interred beneath its stones.
