Television
So I just spent an enjoyable evening with my roommate, watching the series finale of Gilmore Girls and crying like the baby I am. I am such a sap for happy endings!
Internet plus life
I cannot describe how happy it makes me that we now have internet at my apartment- but sad a little too, to know how dependent I am on this resource. But hey, I’m not gonna have cable- how else am I going to learn about earthquakes in Haiti and how bad the roads are? Internet is the way.
On a side note, I absolutely adore Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers. They are officially a fave- I’ve seen them in concert 3 times, going again in April- and I JUST bought their music on iTunes- so worth it! Though a little backwards- probably should have listened to their music before I went to see them in concert. But I adore live performances- and GOOSE!
So long!
Man! It’s been so long since I’ve posted!!! But I’ve been very busy…. and seduced by Twitter (I’ll admit it).
But here’s something fun for you to pass the time:
Me: I don’t like to make waves in my life, Meghan
Meghan: Yeah, I feel ya
Me: You know, it’s like that saying… ‘if it’s yellow let it mellow…”
Meghan: What?!?
Me: Yeah, I mean, I like to leave my life drama free- mellowed at the bottom of the bowl… I also like my life sprinkle-free; so please be neat and wipe the seat.
(paraphrased b/c I couldn’t remember the exact amazingness of my original wording… I was very tired when I said this!!!)
P.S.- Was tempted tonight to drive to the mall and stalk a small-town Radio DJ just to see if I could score free tickets to a concert tomorrow, for an American Idol runner-up.
Duncan (talking about a telegraph): “I’ve got a BIG surprise for you!”
Jack (playing Stephanie and talking about sex): “Oh, do you?”
D: “Yes, in fact I’ve got two of them.”
J: “TWO?!?!?”
D: “Yes, two of them with long flowing hair.”
J: “Have you ever considered surgery?”
D: “In fact, I’ve got proof right here! Are you ready to see it?”
J (covering his eyes): “I’m ready….”
D (showing the telegram): “Well, don’t you want to read the signature?”
J: “It’s SIGNED?!?!?”
D: “Of course! Otherwise, how else would you know who it belonged to?”

From “Don’t Trust Me” by 3OH!3:
“Shush girl shut your lips,
Do the Hellen Keller and talk with your hips.”
Who uses Hellen Keller as an example for sexy dancing?!?!? Apparently 3OH!3.
Finally, Hollywood Reads My Mind
So I was looking through IMDB for movies that might interest me in the future (I do this by typing in my favorite actors’ names and then seeing what’s in production for them) and when I checked Natalie Portman, I saw a movie called “Brothers”. Sounded interesting. Family betrayal, war, etc… what could be better?
But now let me ask you… have you ever gotten Tobey Macguire and Jake Gyllenhal mixed up? Is it because they look so similar, so if you see just a flash, you’re not sure who you saw? That happened to me all the time, especially in the first two movies each person was in. Couldn’t you say they almost look like…. BROTHERS?!?!?
Well, now they’re playing brothers in the movie. Yes, Hollywood has succumbed to what I thought all along- how much Tobey and Jake look related.
“We cannot be upset over what problems we have made in the past- we must move forward, and only worry about the problems we will have in the future.”
“That’s brilliant, Leon! It also explains why you are sad so much of the time. But this philosophy helps me to focus on what is really important in my life- ME!!!”
– Third Rock From the Sun- Student Leon to Dick, our favorite John Lithgow charatcer.Today my sister and I recorded this for a friend of ours, and the result is pretty fabulous. Here’s all you need to duplicate our success:
1.) A Zany sense of humor.
2.) A guitar.
3.) A voice.
4.) Two hands (and an ass to smack).
5.) Some sort of recording mechanism that changes your voice to any range- including chipmunk and angry gorilla.
With these tools, you can’t go wrong.
Did I mention this was a cover of Hanson?
History of the World According to Sarah
My sister wrote this awesome mad libs program. Here is the zany (and fabulous, imho) result:
Excerpt from The Road Ahead by Bill Gates
The past 5 years have been an effervescent adventure for me. It started on a day when, as a graduate student, I stood in Montpeller with my flatulent person Dolly Parton and pored over the description of a kit bra in Vogue magazine. As we read excitedly about the first truly bubbly bra, Dolly and I didn’t know exactly how it would be used, but we were sure it would change us and the world of computing. We were right. The bubbly-bra revolution happened and has affected over 6 lives. It has led us to places we had barely imagined.
We are all beginning another great journey. We aren’t sure where this one will lead us either, but again I am certain this fundraiser will touch even more lives and take us all farther. The major changes coming will be in the way people communicate with each other. The benefits and problems arising from this upcoming communications fundraiser will be much greater than those brought about by the Virgin Records fundraiser.
There is seldom a fluffy map for sticky territory, but we can learn sweaty lessons from the running and singing of the $10-billion bubbly-bra industry. Virgin Records - it’s evolving bananas, business tea bags, on-line umbrellas, Internet candy canes, electronic shoes, guitars, pianos, and gumballs - is the foundation for the next fundraiser.
I love this kid- a.k.a. Shia Labeouf (I always spell his name wrong!). I learned a few new things about him through this clip, mostly hilarious! Enjoy!
“Comme le sable sous la verre du temps, alors les jours de nos vies”
My sister and I were thinking of all these French synonyms for different everyday phrases we were saying. One was “Just as usual” and we got stumped after about five different French phrases. On and on this went, until we came across this English kernel of truth:
“Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.”
Conclusion: our terribly translated title above, which is the very basic basic way to say it, and still probably not correct.
