Exercise Recs, Mel Brooks Edition 8

No fic recs this week, it’s ALL MEL BROOKS.  

Fun fact about me:  I love Mel Brooks.  His movies are a part of my childhood, which explains A Lot about me, and why my humor is the way it is.  I have fond memories of getting home from school in the fifth grade, and watching Space Balls so much that I practically had that movie memorized.  I remember singing songs from the musical version of “The Producers” in the back of the marching band bus (and we sang them ALL.  From “I Want To Be A Producer” to “Keep It Gay” to “Springtime For Hitler.” so loud, at the top of our lungs) with all my friends.  I remember watching “History of the World Part 1″ and FINALLY getting the Oedipus joke after we read that story in AP English.  I remember having sleepovers with my friends watching all our favorites:  “Robinhood: Men in Tights”, “Blazing Saddles”, “The Producers” (original and musical), “Young Frankenstein”, just to name a few.  When my close friends and I get together, there WILL be a Mel Brooks movie quote (multiple most of the time) spoken between us.  It’s just inevitable.  When my friends and I went on vacation to Las Vegas a few years ago, it was because Mel Brooks was doing a live show there, and we wanted to see him in person (It was great, top 10 best moments of my life).  

His works have also brought me comfort, especially “The Producers” musical sound track.  I’ve listened to it so many times throughout my life, especially when I’m feeling down.  It’s kept me company during long car rides when I was working on my disaster of a master’s project.  Before I got the job I’m at now, I was working some not so great ones.  In the job I was working before my current, I could listen to music or my podcasts while working.  That sound track really helped me get through the days that were tough for me.  So again, I love Mel Brooks. 

When I heard that “History of the World Part 2″ was being made, I was fucking ecstatic.  It was released this week (3/6), and I’ve been watching an episode a day.  I’m not quite done with them (there are 8 total), but so far I have been enjoying them so much.  They are done in the form of multiple skits, with some skits being made into larger skits, just broken up throughout the episodes.  I have been having a lot of fun watching them.  I’m surprised my neighbors haven’t complained about how loud I’ve been laughing at them.  

So yeah, definitely give them a watch if you’re a fan of Mel Brooks :D  

Here is the obligatory photo of my latte:

It rained a lot near the end of the week, so there was a lot of water moving at the arboretum!  I thought this scene looked neat.

There was also a log with a lot of cool fungus growing on it that I had to take a picture of.

Here is a close up.  Kind reminds me of a clam shell.

I also finally got a picture of a white-breasted nuthatch!!  

One of these days, I will get a nice camera for close up bird pictures.  One of these days...

Please enjoy this old and ridiculous meme I made that I found in my folder and forgot to post back when Season 2 ended. Too bad I didn't see it in October. 😆

heroines in gothic romances are praised for languishing in bed all day but when i do it i'm "lazy" and a "leech on society." make up your mind

He knows her as soon as he sees her.

Time Lords always do — when they’re looking. And by Rassilon, he has been looking. Afraid of what he’ll find. Afraid he can’t both save Pond’s baby and the naughty friend he loves.

He didn't recognize the child, but then, he hadn’t yet felt how time courses through River's veins. But now — now he can see.

Mels. Melody. The only water in the forest. His bespoke psychopath. His convicted murderer lover, intact. He failed to save the child.

A smile floods his face, and he runs towards her with open arms.

Never finished 'The Producers' (1967) fan art from April probably. Realized part way through I really didn't want to color in black & grey suits.

It’s just all cats all the time right now.

My upstairs neighbor sounds like they’re sawing something - I’m picturing a large tree branch.

I’m going to make some returns today and post some items on Craigslist and Facebook marketplace that I have been meaning to post for months.

Tomorrow will be laundry day and culling books.

I really needed this extra break from work. It’s been soo needed to lay around, do an occasional chore and lay around some more.

I watched Mrs Harris Goes to Paris on the plane and it was really cute! All the pluses of a rom com (the outfits, the independent woman going after her dream) and none of the minuses (forced romance). Plus some very pro-union stuff and the entire story centers around the invisible domestic labor that women mostly shoulder so great all around.

Have y'all seen The Producers? My family watched the original film together last week. Max Bialystok is an *iconic* slut.

i sincerely believe that “slut” is the greatest trait u can give a male character but they need to be pathetic and cringe fail about it

[barbieomoviegeek]

so do we think history of the world part ii will be any good or nah
