Help me, Swedish-speakers (and/or otherwise clever people) on friendslist! You're my only hope! (... or not, but surely asking the LJ is the logical next step after googling (and before doing any actual work)?) - Spelling things out in Swedish. how do you do it. plis to be explaining. oh plis.

1) vowels: O? Ä?

2) consonants: What's the vowel for K? H? J? Q? R?

I know I should know, but. :-(

Saw Kiss Me Deadly at the outdoors summer cinema just now. It was an... interesting experience. Also, weirdly slashy. Also, with all that smoking! And the most fascinating answering machine. Also, everyone kept laughing at the wrong times. Also, yes. There are things about it which are still running around in my head. Also, former primary lyricist for Ultra Bra (current member of parliament) sat next to me.

Also, ( you can't really be serious about doing a spoiler cut for the ending of a movie from 1955, can you? )

Also, the IMDB plot keyword list for it impresses me with
1. general scope
2. specific inclusion of "slap in the face", "switchboard", and "poodle", in particular.

Oh, midsummer!

( oh, youtube to sum you up in all the essential ways, midsummer! )

Dear mandysbitch,

also, 10 things I (think I) like in fic (sometimes), some of which begin with a C

1. Cleverness. (My copy of The Compleat Copywriter tells me that a copywriter whose copy makes someone say, oh, that's clever, has got it wrong. It also tells me that oral contraceptives for men will be the big thing in the 1970s.)
2. Motifs, patterns, devices. Also parallels, symbols.
3. Ambiguous endings: imperfect happiness & underwhelming angst.
4. A good joke.
5. Words that pound a heavy beat.
6. Understatement. God, I'm such a tool of the Man!
7. Unspoken things, unfinished business, thresholds, waiting, weight, crossings, pushings, cookies, stuff.
8. Canon interrogated from the wrong perspective. Also, the right.
9. Road trips.
10. Things that are not amnesia.

Also, two things that have nothing to do with anything:
1. TWIN PEAKS RE-RUNS IN JANUARY.
2. I forgot the other one.
3. Five bucks says the guy played by the poor man's Giovanni Ribisi did it. In whichever show you're watching right now.
