Today's dose of blasphemy

[kellinator]

As some of you know, my favorite novel is The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I love it beyond all reason. It's pure poetry. I wish I had a huge poster of the cover hanging over my mantel. (I wish I had a mantel, but that's another story.)

So imagine my reaction to the news from blistermoth:

Paris Hilton in line to play Daisy Buchanan in Gatsby remake

If anyone needs me, I'll be dry-heaving. Even Daisy Buchanan isn't that vapid!

I am going to block out the horror that your post inspires in me. I am going to pretend that I didn't read that. I am going to focus on the part of your post that doesn't make me want to throw myself under the wheels of a truck.

You know, if you really want a huge image of the cover, I can help you out a little! You just need to rasterbate it! (This is not as dirty as it sounds, but it is pretty fun)

If you register, you can take any digitalized image and resize it to any set of measurements! You print it out on a standard printer (I would recomend doing this at Kinko's -- it takes a hella large amount of ink) and put it up like a mosaic. You can just print it on regular paper and put it up, you can put it on glossy paper, you can glue it to coreboard so it looks more impressive (and even decoupage it so it looks laquered or textured like an actual painting)... it's pretty cool, and is the best way to cheaply customize your walls (at least that I've found).

Now if you'll excuse me, I have memories to purge...
