Art and RL............ [May. 30th, 2008|05:44 pm]
Previous Entry Add to Memories Tell a Friend Next Entry
Ah, yes. Just in case there was ever any doubt that those Snarry-colored glasses I wear are prescription strength, I thought I should let you see the image that came to mind while listening to some Disney show tunes.

"Someday My Prince Will Come......"
Somday My Prince Will Come (with text) With bonus text. The original will be auctioned off for charity at CON.TXT for anyone who might be attending.
Someday My Prince Will Come (without text) Without the text. For some reason this scan is cleaner.

Annnnnnd, in rl news I am trying (unsuccessfully) to keep my big mouth shut over tomorrow's surprise 75th birthday party my husband and his sisters are planning for their mother. The party is a surprise because their mother has refused to acknowledge her birthday for the past, oh, 60 years. Their reasoning is she would refuse to show up if they told her in advance (seriously) so they are just going to spring it on her. And they are planning to hold this celebration in. her. house. Now, forgetting for the moment that this woman does not like birthday celebrations at. all., the party will be held in her home that she has not cleaned and made "guest-ready." Now, for some people, that isn't a problem - love me, love my cat hair. My husband's mother, however, is not one of those people. Additionally, her husband is taking her on a bike trail so we can have access to the house. This means she will be sweaty, have on no make-up, and will be wearing her best ill-fitting, stained clothing to this surprise party. Again, for some people this would not be a problem. Again, she is not one of those people. I think watching this trifecta of stupid is going to give me a stroke. But then, I am but a simple in-law, so what do I know? (Bonus joke: What is the difference between in-laws and out-laws? Outlaws are wanted.) Since it's silly for me to try to change their minds at this point I plan to spend the remainder of the day cooking, hoping for the best, and wearing a ball gag. Guess that means it won't be a total loss. ;D

LOVE the art!

Oh man, I am so sorry. That sounds like a disaster in the making. BTW, LOVE the joke! My husband on the other hand didn't. But he's got one of those weird sense of humors, he's really got a guys humor. Yup!

Good luck and hugs,
Aery

Thanks! That's one of my favorite jokes and is actually an in-joke from my side of the family. Both my brother's wives refer to themselves (and my husband) as the outlaws.

Glad you liked the art. ;D

*Hugs back and sucks up all the luck she can manage*

OMG, the art is FTW! And seriously, I would not be able to look at my husband without humming a funeral dirge every. time. I. saw. him.

Hee! Glad you liked the art. I really, really hope I can refrain from getting a t-shirt printed up with "I told you so" on it. I figure the billboard I rented should be enough.

The art is adorable! What a great idea.

The party? Not so much. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you can manage to stay out of the crossfire. :/

I plan to just clean and hang out in the kitchen. She's not my mother and I'm merely the caterer of this little party. *Buys more booze*

Heeee! The art is fabulous! And so true! You always boil Snarry down to its essence!

Sorry about the disaster in the works! Hope no one resorts to homicide!

As for the party, well, I plan to do some serious cleaning and then hide in the kitchen during all the shouting. I'm just the caterer for this little party. Her kids and husband can deal with the fallout.

Great art! And what, I ask, is Disney for, if not to serve as fodder for our corrupted minds? Nothing is sacred. ;)

Good luck with the party...Hopefully it won't be too disastrous.

Love the art! Is Harry dreaming of Lockhart there? Or maybe George of the Jungle? ;)

That party-sounds like a train wreck about to happen. Hopefully, there won't be many casualties. Loved the in-law joke, I laughed out loud. Oddly, my husband didn't laugh much. Hmmm. Men.

Hee! I can't draw for shit without photo references and I kept getting odd results for "Prince Charming." But Harry's dream!prince *does* look like a cross between George and Lockhart.

Glad you liked the joke. My husband doesn't find it funny either, but it's one of my favorites.

Ahahah! Awesome; I love Harry's lovesick expression.

*crosses fingers for the party* I hope it doesn't turn into a total disaster! Relatives...if only they'd have some common sense.

Thanks! I love the girly way he's holding his potions book.

I am in such denial for tomorrow. I plan to clean like a madwoman and hide in the kitchen until the shouting is over.

ROFL! What an "expressive and princely" square chin! No wonder Severus is annoyed. Great job!

Good luck with the party! It seems that you fear the worst, so it can only get better! (At least a little bit.)

Hee! Thanks! The chin is a bit of a cross between Quagmire from Family Guy, Gaston from Beauty & the Beast, and George of the Jungle.

As for the party, well, hopefully once she calms down she will realize that her children really wanted to celebrate this milestone birthday because she's a breast cancer survivor and there was definitely a time when no one thought she would see this day. We'll just have to play it by ear.

I love your art!

Thanks! I stayed in the kitchen during the shouting and the throwing of things. It started out rough but ended up okay. Eventually. ;D

Whoa! Thanks for sharing your art with us! Fantabulous! *grin/purr*

The in-law joke is brilliant!

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the art and the joke. It's one of my favorites. ;D And, although the night started out rough, it ended well so it all evened itself out. Eventually. *hugs back*

It's a very good joke... I feel like an in-law with my blood relatives. o.O

I'm glad to hear the "party" didn't end up with a body count. *snuggles*

Glad to see there are others out there with a sense of humor about their "lawlessness". My brother-in-law and I are the best of outlaws. Good luck with the birthday. My mother, bless her, never celebrated a birthday beyond her 29th; the Mass card for her funeral two years ago listed her birthdate as 1932 and her age as 29. Only family understood. She would be very upset with us for coming into the house to prepare it for a party. However, it would be my Dad, who gave the permission, who would be in the worst spot. Duck! And have fun.

Hee! Well, after the shouting was over, people ended up having a good time. I still think it would have been kinder to give her a heads up earlier in the day so she could have been angry in private, but everyone seems to be okay with it now.

Thankfully my husband has strong self-preservation instincts and knows to never do something like this to me.

*dies laughing* Harry needs a good wake-up call. (Preferably from the other side of the bed. :D )
