oh aye

I recently stumbled across some delicious, delicious photos on ONTD that will be occupying my thoughts for the rest of the night:

( Dreams, sweet dreams for you. )

In related news, I bought a typewriter! And I was a gangster for Halloween (Schyler thought I was the Doctor and Max thought I was a generic person from the twenties, which...cool). Drama llamas have been running around on campus, but I'm too worried about my sleep schedule to really partake in anything else. Speaking of which, I need to get to bed and not miss class tomorrow.

Here has been my method lately of going through the inception_kink comments.

"Ooooh, 44 seems like a nice number, let's look at that page!"

Which is to say, there is no method at all.

Also, fire_at_wi11 directed me towards this LOVELY PHOTO ( which is under a cut for sanity's sake. )

I have recently discovered two awesome things. The first is thanks to Tumblr, since I saw a picture of Martin Freeman on what was obviously a British quiz show, but I'd never seen it before. After some sleuthing, I found that it was called "What You Were Watching" or something similar, and it's FANTASTIC. So funny. But I suppose it does depend on the panel, much like many other British quiz shows.

The other thing sprang from THAT show, because the basic premise is that they review absolutely awful TV and then make fun of it (OMG MY FAVORITE ACTIVITY) and they talked about this show called "Young, Dumb and Living Off Mum." Yeah, you know about my ban against reality shows? This is an exception. Because, it's just like, it's a total trainwreck to watch, but it's done in such a way that you know the contestants are trying and some of them actually have redeeming qualities (well, okay, one). So that's basically what I've been watching today. Good stuff.

I didn't get to see Scott Pilgrim like originally planned, but I might be able to go see it once I get back to school. Two of my friends are in New York (by the way, WTF? I haven't seen one of them in over six months, and they didn't even tell me about their meeting up?) and were planning on seeing it with another friend right before school. So they might have already seen it by the time I get there, which would suck because I hate going to see a movie that I know will be a huge group thing with people who have already seen it. But, you know, at least I'll get to see it.

UMMMMMMMM nothing else, I suppose.

1)
BRB LOLLING FOREVER

And

2)
DID ANYONE ELSE KNOW HE WAS IN THIS EP? I DID NOT KNOW HE WAS IN THIS EP.

This is an interesting story about how I'm totally insane.

( Recently, I discovered.... )

P.S. I'm taking a German film class and there are a bunch of people I'm friends with taking it with me. There are six of us and our collective identities include: German history nerds, culture whores/film enthusiasts, Jewish or about-to-be Jewish people, snarky commenters. There is quite a bit of overlap and we all sat in a little group at the back of the class. We watched a movie tonight that dealt with a refugee WWII Jewish family. I'm pretty sure everyone else in the class hated us.

P.S.S. REG! REGINALD FAIRFIELD!
Still creeps into my mind now and then, even today.

ETA: Oh great. Episode 11 of Middleman is apparently infested with OSDW references, so now I have to watch it.

ETA 2: I've decided. I'm not crazy about this show as a college student, but I'm forcing my kids to watch it.

I have little to no idea how to do this properly, but I'm going to try to mix stories, panels and pictures while NOT stabbing your bandwidth in the eyes with a pair of tweezers. I have LOTS of photos, but I'm going to save the secondary ones for the next post. Onwards!

( Thursday )

( Friday )
An appropriate end to Friday! I'm probably going to, you know, sleep, and then post Saturday and Sunday which includes:

Glee
Heroes
Doctor Who
Torchwood
Being Human

So you know, everything awesome in the world.

Please don't take our photos without credit. Tues, Cookie and I traded off taking photos and we wouldn't want all our hard work to go unnoticed :/ At least tag this journal.

I'm trying to drown out my sister watching "Jon and Kate Plus 8" with The Monkees. I think I'm winning, but the fact that she's watching makes me feel icky inside.

My camera! I finally got my camera, and this is roughly what it looks like:

No, wait wait! This is it:


I love EVERYTHING about it (the picture is fantastic and clear and squee-worthy!) but the dial is a little annoying sometimes and I don't think that it has macro, unless it's hidden somewhere. Which means no flower close-ups. I'm going to check the manual to see what's up with that. But the zoom is GREAT. I'm so in love with it.

Sorry for the spaminosity of my posts lately, I promise that is the last for today's ramblings. Yesterday took pretty much 24 hours to compile and responding to comments (although I love them, being I'm a comment!whore and all) was a bitch.

I got out of my internship early so I could watch the Jackson memorial because they basically ran out of things for me to do. All while listening to Pandora and tweeting incessantly. I listened to two versions of "Instant Karma" and multiple live songs by McCartney. Not that I mind, but you think they'd be able to play more songs off of their many many albums. ALSO! I said I wouldn't spam, so I'm not going to post a picture, but I discovered Paul's live album cover that parodies Abbey Road. WTF? Half of me wanted to laugh and the other half wanted to cry.

Two-for-Tuesday pizza at Mama Lucia's! \o/ LOL it's totally worth mentioning.

*HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RINGO*

Can we start a TorkNotYorke campaign or something? Just because it's catchy. And really, who can say no to this face?


I'm starting a hashtag on Twitter as we speak.

I should probably get a Monkee icon at this point...

ETA: I just realized that not everyone has access to my brain, so I'm just taking this time to explain that by Yorke I mean Thom Yorke from Radiohead. Nothing against him personally (okay, well maybe) but I'm don't exactly associate him with bright, happy things like I do Peter.

Finally, pay off.

Of course there are things I would change (too much Julia Stiles/party scene, no screencaps of prom, etc.) but overall I'm kind of proud. Constructive criticism is VERY welcome, but 'ooh'ing and 'aah'ing is of course welcomed XD. What do you think, should I do more? And if so, any suggestions?

ETA: I should probably credit, huh? I got all my screencaps over at this site.
