	Beowulf at the dollar theater http://ormondsacker.livejournal.com/48965.html humorous lies As I was leaving, with a spring in my step and a jaunty "What the hell, last scene?" in my heart, I brushed past a poster for j-horror ripoff One Missed Call. If you've somehow missed said poster, the image is a screaming face with additional screaming faces for eyes. (Seriously, I've seen some primally terrifying imagery in my day, but imagine gazing into someone's eyes and seeing your own reflect More... Published by :ormondsacker 2008-01-25 06:17:43.0

	The Judge Dee Mysteries http://ormondsacker.livejournal.com/48467.html books, fact So last time, a capable 7th-century Chinese bureaucrat named Di Renjie became, for various patriarchy-related reasons, a folk hero.

	Chinese history lesson! http://ormondsacker.livejournal.com/48203.html fact Her name was Wu Zetian, and she was the only female Emperor of China. She ruled from 690 to 705 A.D., reformed the educational system, conquered Korea, and supported Buddhism over Confucianism, possibly because the Confucians kept reminding everyone that a female ruler was blasphemous. Her chancellor, an ex-judge named Di Renjie, convinced her that a total purge of Confucians from the already-massive Chinese govern More... Published by :ormondsacker 2008-01-19 07:06:57.0

In the first panel, Dagwood was asleep on the couch... Blondie: Don't forget to mow the lawn. Dagwood: Okay... --------- Dagwood: Darn it! The mower's busted! --------- Dagwood: Even the saw doesn't help! --------- Dagwood: I tried to use my saw to get the More... Published by :ormondsacker 2008-01-14 05:01:43.0

	Who am I, Nicholas Cage? http://ormondsacker.livejournal.com/47803.html life in okc, me In the apartment parking lot this afternoon, there were about a dozen foam-board jigsaw puzzle pieces... each about 5" x 5", quarter-inch thick, scattered pretty broadly. Most of them were foam-side up, but there was a blue/yellow one near my front tire, and a yellow one with a couple of red letters against a bush a few feet away. It was fairly mysterious, and I wondered for a second if there was any way I could wo More... Published by :ormondsacker 2008-01-07 04:26:40.0

	entourage http://ormondsacker.livejournal.com/46574.html out of town His name was Luis, he had an Ultimate Fighter bout on digital cable Saturday, and he was quietly applying himself to a heap of Korean barbecue while one-third of his entourage tried to pick up the girls at the next table. His jacket had the intricate logo of a tae kwon do school and, in a smaller font, the name of a chiropractor. "My boy Luis, he'll fight a guy on TV in front of a thousand people, but, More...
