Musings of a Vurms

The blog and dumping ground of an indecisive, noncommittal twenty-year-old geek girl obsessed with pop culture references and World of Warcraft.
Enjoy.

Re-uploading since it was missing a frame. On another note, I didn’t bother to erase my fingerprints at all. Turned out pretty cool!

Oh my god I’m crying.
Irene spent 30 years socializing Alex and he eventually became as smart as a 5 year old human. He could speak English and was able to convey ideas and coin new words. Like, he knew the words “yummy” and “bread” and when she made him a birthday cake he called it “yummy-bread” because he didn’t know the word for cake.
It took years and years of training him out of her own pocket before anyone would even give he grant money to study him “officially” and now she’s one of the most well-respected animal behavior scientists.
She had a routine with Alex where every night she’d say “Goodnight Alex, I love you!” and he’d say “I love you!” and then she’d turn off the light and go to bed. Recently, after going through their routine, she came by the next morning and he had passed away.
30 years.

Why hey there, Irene Pepperberg’s Moth story.

When I read her book, I couldn’t make it through the first sentence on the dust jacket without crying.

;_;Rest in Peace, you beautiful bird. There will be plenty of yummy-bread in avian paradise.

Single Ladies

There’s actually a pretty sad story behind this issue: it’s a prequel to The Killing Joke, the story in which Barbara Gordon was infamously paralyzed by the Joker. Zatanna essentially has a premonition and she and Diana decide to take Babs out on one last night on the town.

You’re kidding.

Oh my word…

Thanks, its not like I needed my heart or anything like that 

wowwww

poor babs

Wwhattt?? ;;;-;;;

But… The Killing Joke was published in 1988. “Single Ladies” was released twenty years later. “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” was released three years earlier, why didn’t they go with that instead?
I know, it’s a pretty small thing to gripe about, but seriously, people still do Cyndi Lauper in karaoke; Cyndi was even a redhead in the 80’s. It totally would have fit.

What

What is th

Is he in this show often, or

And more importantly, why doesn’t have his own show yet?

I’d settle for a Space Ghost style talk show guys! Give me anything!!

This is an animated special (movie? episode of something? idk) called Hulk Vs. Wolverine. It also features Lady Deathstrike, Omega Red, Sabertooth, and yes, Deadpool. Googling it should turn up some results regarding where to find it.

Patrick Stewart (Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Professor X) asks us about the letter B.

Because I need this on my blog

Best thing.

Perfect

PATRICK FOR FUCKS SAKE

I have never had a true appreciation for the letter B until I saw this. :l

I love how all of the serious actors who cameo on Sesame Street take their goofy lines so goddamn seriously. It’s brilliant.

That’s the test for a real actor. Someone who can monologue in a serious tone for a couple of minutes about a letter, number, word, or shape and not even giggle once.
