Only fools are enslaved by time and space.

Proof that Jack and Sawyer will finally get it on next week!!

~~Admiral Cain's~~ Oceanic's official "rescue" photo of the gang:

I find the clothing to be very interesting. Hugo is wearing the same thing that he is currently wearing on the island, Sayid and Kate are wearing completely different outfits... But has anybody noticed anything weird about Jack's shirt? He never wears button up shirts like that. But do you know who does?

JACK IS WEARING SAWYER'S SHIRT. Yes. YES HE IS. It even has the same blood stain above the pocket. Why the shirt switch? Jack and Sawyer will have sex and then in a mad rush put on the wrong shirts. You know I'm right.

But, in all seriousness, why is Jack wearing Sawyer's dirty shirt??? And yes, I am obsessed enough with Sawyer's shirts that I noticed this on my own.

I told Mitzi I want to sell Admiral Cain's severed body parts on the colonial fleet black market.

The next time I go out drinking I am going to lock my computer in some kind of safe that requires a breathalyzer test to open it... I should never be allowed to touch the internet when under the influence. Sorry everyone -- especially Mitzi and Mandy! I am so annoying. Rereading IM conversations the next morning is always a hilarious and depressing experience.

Yesterday was a really good day... I went to lunch with Caitlin, Milena, and Laura and then we shopped a bit. I need to stop buying things, I already have no idea how I'm going to get everything back to home without paying millions of dollars in shipping fees. After that, Caitlin and I watched Team America, which I had never seen but I am in love with now. Hilarious. Then I got ready to go out and walked to Milena & Laura's house. It was after 9 but still quite light out so it was a nice safe evening stroll. I enjoyed myself. We watched some TV and drank lots and lots and lots of Cherry Lambrini. Then we went to Art School. I don't remember doing much dancing or anything too exciting but it was still fun. Caitlin was working and she served us some delicious drinks. Milena and I abandoned Laura and I can't remember why... I think she was with some guy and telling us to leave them alone together or something, I don't remember. But we left without her. I am texting her right now to make sure she got home alright and she says she always gets left by herself at Art School and she's not sure why, but I think it's because she tells people to leave her. I don't remember last night very well, but at the Garage that time she was yelling at us to leave her alone! So I don't know.

Milena and I shared a taxi back and I think she wants to come on our road trip next week? If she comes the car ride will be pretty squished, but I like everyone involved and don't mind being squished in the bitch seat in the back if necessary. Also Milena is really fun so it would be a nice addition to the already amazing gang.

I am so so so so hungover today, but luckily I don't have much to do. When I'm feeling better I will clean up the flat in anticipation for THE ARRIVAL OF CAT BAT! I can't believe she will be here TOMORROW! I am ready for us to have the time of our lives, because I think we just might. I hope Catherine enjoys herself here, because I know for sure I will enjoy having her in my presence. :) :) :)

I just watched The Office and it was wonderful, but not quite as dramatic as I was expecting it to be based on all the secrecy and build up and such. The very end had me in stitches and I was still cracking up about ten minutes after it was over. Also I really like Holly.

I WANT CAITLIN TO WAKE UP SO WE CAN WATCH LOST. I feel really charitable whenever I wait for her because it is freaking hard for me to keep myself from just pressing play when it's sitting here on my computer screen. Then again, it's much more fun to watch it for the first time with other diehard fans, so I guess it's not such a selfless act after all.

Oh boy I am not feeling so fresh.

A few more comments before I go to bed.

2008-05-15T01:20:47Z

I am really excited for Friday morning (i.e. the time when I watch Thursday night's TV) but at the same time I am dreading these things:

1) It's the last episode of The Office for the season.
2) Wait a tick, was last week the season finale of 30 Rock? That is shit.
3) Jacob Silj on LOST:

GET THE FRAK OFF MY FAVORITE SHOW, YA FREAK BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went shopping today and bought many things. It was fun but it made me feel fat. I need to fix this by not being fat anymore. WHAT HAPPENED TO ME THIS YEAR!? Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad. I am disappointed. But I'm also looking forward to the Summer of Working Out Constantly. It should be good fun.

Tomorrow Laura (the other one, I am not talking in third person) finishes her last exam at noon and then soon after that we are (weather permitting) going to the park and drinking cherry lambrini. This sounds like a remarkable afternoon to me. Then tomorrow night I think we're going to Art School, which should be interesting because Caitlin will be working. Hooray.

I can't believe the day of Catherine's arrival is almost here! These past few months have just been full of pleasant guests and it's making time fly by so quickly! I am starting to get really sad about the things I'll be leaving behind when I go home. I love Scotland so much. I saw this Irn Bru advert the other night and it made me feel all patriotic until I remembered that I am not, in fact, Scottish.

Awww man I'm sad now. :(

It is time to distract myself with hulu episodes of Arrested Development and sleep! G'night. :)

Iron Man

2008-05-15T00:51:10Z

...was the shit.

That RobbieDJ certainly knows how to be the sexiest and funniest and manliest man alive.

Manalive! Manalive, I say.

You know what I don't understand?

2008-05-13T17:57:20Z

UK TV stations buy the rights to American shows all the time... Why do Americans feel like they have to REMAKE every good British TV show? Why can't they just play the ACTUAL show??? There's so much good TV over here and Americans always ruin everything except for The Office. That's the one exception because the basic premise works as something that can be altered in all different countries. But everything else is just ridiculous. Either make your own ideas or just play the real programme. Americans are so goddamn annoying.

At least that stupid American version of Spaced pilot was brutally rejected.

OH HI I FINISHED MY TEST. It's over. My next one isn't until the end of the month so I'm celebrating. Went to the park with Caits and Laura. I finally bought one of those "99" ice creams -- soft serve with a Flake stuck in it. I wasn't going to leave the country without trying one of those. It is sunny and beautiful today and I hope Mr. Blue Sky sticks around for Catttthhhhhhhh's arrival on Saturday (and for longer, of course).

Then we went to Hubbards for a quick drink [Kopparberg, I really do not want to leave you!!! :( :( :( ], and now Caitlin is at work. I had some Magners and now I'm popping open a Tennents. Yeah, I'm drinking. Yes. Drinking. I am going to be sound asleep by 10... I only got four hours of sleep last night.

NO NO WAIT WAIT AT 10 I HAVE TO WATCH THAT CARNIES PROGRAMME. I CAN'T FORGET!

Every second of my life I get more and more obsessed with Jason Mraz.

I need to make dinner now because I need to stop being fat, which means I have to stop eating earlier in the evening and go back to counting calories and all the other stuff I used to do. I feel nice. Bye!

Oh man. Oh god, oh man.

2008-05-12T20:21:55Z

Oh god I am so stressed about this exam. I'd say "I just want it to be over," but if I were taking it right now, the results would be disastrous. I need to cram a lot more knowledge into my puny brain tonight. And then when it is over, at around noon, let the drinking begin. Except I can't be TOO drunk at 10 pm because there's some kind of special about carnies on TV and I can't miss that!

Look how yummy my desktop is right now:

Mmmm... I like man-touching.

Also someone posted this hilarious video on ONTD and it made me LOL:

Back to cl-ASS-ics now. That wasn't very clever, but I don't feel like deleting it. Bye.

Success?

2008-05-12T16:38:13Z

Today was a bad day to figure out how to watch things on hulu from outside the US.

*sigh*

BACK TO WORK BACK TO WORK!

YOU HAVE 6.5 HOURS BEFORE YOU MUST GO TO SLEEP! YOU CANNOT FAIL THIS EXAM!

I hate this.

Uh oh.

2008-05-11T17:17:20Z

It's Robbie's birthday and now I find myself getting ready to go out to the pub.

That certainly isn't studying...

:/

BORED BORED GOING CRAZY.

2008-05-11T13:45:37Z

Uuugghhh I hate Woman Times. Ow ow ow ow owwwwwwww I need chocolate.

Because I love Liz Lemon so much I decided to buy a big bag of some fake cheetos at the shop yesterday and I ate half yesterday and I just ate the other half and they were disgusting and why did I eat them and owwwww. I need something fresh in my tummy.

I HATE CLASSICS. I need to study. I NEED TO STUDY.

I need to go buy some fruit. And chocolate.

BLERG.

Just wondering if I'm weird or not.

Hmmm. This makes me highly uncomfortable. At around 10 o'clock this morning I was in a deep sleep, but I started being aware that it felt like there was someone else inside my flat. I knew this couldn't be right since Caitlin is in Edinburgh until tomorrow, so I just assumed I was wrong and kept on dreaming. But then I was suddenly awoken by what I thought was the sound of my front door closing. I listened really hard to see if I could hear the front door being closed/locked but I didn't hear anything. I panicked a little bit -- as much as you can when you have just been startled awake -- and eventually decided to get out of bed and check things out. The front door was locked, which can only be done with a key, so I knew immediately that I hadn't been burgled. I looked around the flat and there were no intruders and nothing seemed to have been moved. At this point I was pretty sure that I had made the sounds up so I just got back in bed, but I also locked the latch on my bedroom door just in case.

I had forgotten about this whole thing until a little while ago when I went to take the trash out and the front door had been DOUBLE LOCKED. This is what I call it in my head when the DAMN PLUMBER turns the key twice to lock it, which means that I have to turn it twice to unlock it. She is the only person who double locks the door. I locked the door last night and I obviously did not double lock it. WHAT WAS THAT ASSHAT DOING IN MY FLAT THIS MORNING!?!?! WHY DOES SHE STILL HAVE OUR SPARE KEYS!? I looked all around and there is seriously nothing different in the flat or in the bathroom. I have no idea what's going on. I think I'll contact Caitlin and see if she knows anything about it.

On an unrelated note, I am obsessed with this song. This is the third time I've listened to We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things today. I've only been awake for 4 hours. Obsession is a beautiful thing.

Okayyyy I have cleaned the entire flat now and I'm out of new things to watch, which means I think I finally have to get down to business with this classics ish. Except first I think I'll go to the shop to get more diet coke. :D

BSG

2008-05-10T13:23:50Z

Damn it, why didn't Anders put his hand in the goo? WHYYYYYYY!?? I wanted to see what happened!

XENA XENA LET'S GO GET XENA! I'm excited.

Anders is not.

I love Anders. Samanders.

I have an idea, let's not have any more intra-model cylon makeout sessions. Unless it's Anders.

Starbuck is the "harbinger of death" but I agree with Val, it's gotta be more complicated than that. I like her idea that death = a new cross-breed race of cylons and humans on Earth. Or something similar. I still think everybody should follow Starbuck to wherever she wants to go because she is greatest!

What was up with the music thing? When Starbuck said that she could "hear" that they were in the right place and Leoben said something about music vibrating in all of us, few can hear it, and Kara is one of the few. Obviously that makes me think back to the four cylons hearing music in the walls of the ship. I really don't think Starbuck is the final cylon but what's the connection?

Lol the preview for next week makes me laugh. Suck it Athena. She is too annoying.

THE SUN IS GONE BUT TODAY IS STILL BEAUTIFUL

2008-05-09T14:07:35Z

LOST LOST LOST OH MY GOD LOST!!!

This show gets better and better and better. Nothing Compares 2 U, my love. NOTHING!

I still haven't collected all my thoughts yet, but based on the preview for next week I think Battlestar Pegasus is coming to the island. ;) NO BUT SERIOUSLY. It is.

Also 30 Rock and The Office were amazing. As usual.

AND NOW! NOW IT WOULD APPEAR THAT "WE SING, WE DANCE, WE STEAL THINGS" (a.k.a. my soulmate Jason Mraz's new album due out on the 13th) HAS LEAKED AND I HAVE OBTAINED IT AND AM NOW PLAYING IT AND LISTENING TO IT AND DYING OF LOVE AND LUST AND ADORATION. [A megaupload link is on its way for you guys and I am going to force you all to download and listen to this shit.]

So yeah. I'm just ignoring the piles of classics-related books sitting next to me for a little while longer as I pretend I have not a care in the world.

Oh how I love photoshop...

2008-05-09T00:43:57Z

Yeaaaaaahhh!

I don't know what this is. I feel like it probably means I have psychological problems or something.

Strange shit.

2008-05-08T22:14:05Z

Today has been a good day. You know how Sims have those little bars that need to be fulfilled -- like food, cleanliness, and social contact? I think I have one for alone-time. If I don't get any time to myself for a long time, I start to get really cranky. Today I just sat around the flat doing laundry and watching movies and it was perfect. When Caitlin came home she asked if I'd been out and gave me a funny look when I said no. Just as they can't understand me, I'll never understand people who constantly need to be doing something and who can't be alone. I like being a little bit bored sometimes. It allows me to clear my mind.

I watched Cloverfield, Dan in Real Life and No Country for Old Men today -- all of which I had not seen before. I am downloading Walk Hard, but it's far from being done. That's too bad because it would have nicely rounded off my day of all kinds of movies. I need a good silly comedy to add to my collection. Oh well.

Strangely enough, out of all three of those movies, I think I'd have to say that Cloverfield was the best! I thought I'd hate it! I wanted to give it a chance just because of the JJ Abrams factor, but I honestly loved it! I thought it was a great idea (especially the way in which it was filmed) and it had me screaming, cringing, and laughing out loud. Who else has seen it, and what were your thoughts?

Dan in Real Life was quite sweet. The premise sounds like a bad Ben Stiller movie but it was really real and nice and sweet. After an extreme Dane Cook overload, I'm sorry to say that I had gotten sort of sick of the man (sorry Leah, I hope it doesn't pain you to hear that!) but my love for him has returned after seeing a new side of him. Now he reminds me even more of my boyfriend Sam Anders. Or Samanders as I like to say it. Sort of like salamanders. [EDIT: Norbert Leo Butz needs to think about "Dancing Through Life" just a little more. No good cake goes unpunished. Something bad is happening in Oz. He won't be able to defy gravity like THAT! What happened there? Apparently Jamie is over and Jamie is gone. He certainly isn't moving too fast anymore. Okay I'm stopping now. But really. What happened?]

Now, as for No Country for Old Men... I didn't hate it. My feelings for it were generally positive, but I got a little bored. It was sort of long. And sort of slow. I think the only other Cohen brothers film I've seen is The Big Lebowski, which I think is much much better. Now I'll have to watch a few others to see if I am an actual Cohen brothers fan or not.

I have an appointment with myself to watch LOST exactly 12 hours from now. Boy am I excited. I am meeting Laura in the park for studytime at noon, so I had to schedule a time for LOST viewing before that. No way will I be able to concentrate on boring classics if I haven't gotten a good dose of "Cabin Fever". Oh god, I had the saddest moment the other day. Denver and I were having one of many general LOST discussions and I said something about how I loved Desmond and then I suddenly realized I had no idea where Desmond was. I said "Omigod, where is Desmond right now!? WHERE IS DESMOND!? I FEEL LIKE I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM IN SIX YEARS!" And then Denver went "Whaaat??? I have no idea??? What happened to Desmond!?!?!" And we both started freaking out for a good four minutes before I remembered. Basically, what I'm trying to say is this: it's been too long. I'm assuming we'll see him in this episode, thank god!!!

I had a dream last night that I was downloading the new episode of LOST, and somehow I came across next week's as well. But I didn't watch it because I didn't want to have to wait two weeks before seeing another episode. That's some self-restraint that I definitely don't have in my real, waking life. Strange.

Also how sad is it that I have dreams about watching LOST?? I say dreams, plural, because I've probably had at least 5 or 6 in my lifetime. What big obsessive freak I am.

Okayyy bye now.

Wash away my troubles, wash away my pain.

Yesterday and today were brilliant. Especially in comparison to Sulky Monday. The weather has been stunning for the past three days and the citizens of Glasgow are making the absolute most of it!! Yesterday I met Caitlin and Stuart for a drink and snacks at around 3. Caitlin had to leave to go to work, but Stuart and I decided to keep at it and we did a little bit of an afternoon pub crawl. Several pubs and many drinks later, it was midnight and I was finally heading home. How did that happen? It was a really good day though. Here's Stuart and me boozing at the QM:

I woke up majorly hungover this morning but that faded quickly and eventually Caitlin and I went out to get some fresh air and sunlight. We walked through Kelvingrove Park to get to the Goat for Kopparbergs... The park was hilarious. I was cracking up the whole time. I swear the entire city of Glasgow had gathered at the park and everyone was tanning and playing and laughing and having the best times of their lives. There were countless lanky white majorly sunburned boys with their shirts off climbing trees... Girls in bikinis soaking in the sun for all it's worth... People playing all kinds of ball games (football, rugby, american football, even badminton!), throwing frisbees, smoking hookah, picnicking, making out, eating ice cream... Strangers exchanging niceties in the street instead of threatening each other with broken Buckfast bottles... It was truly magical. Scottish people are so precious. The second the sun comes out everybody goes absolutely insane and drops EVERYTHING to enjoy the nice weather. I found myself in the same mindset and I've been in the best mood.

We sat at the Goat for a while and Milena joined us for a bit, then we walked back through the park and sat next to a little pond for a bit. Here are a couple lovely pictures:

Gorgeous, right? The little flower petals were drifting off the trees and floating across the top of the water... I thought I had died and gone to heaven, I could barely take it all in.

After that we came back here and cooked a chicken. Christine came to pick up her car and she ate dinner with us. I love Christine. She's leaving for China on May 17th and I'm sad I have to say goodbye to her so soon. Not that June 4th is all that much further away. :(

Anyhoo now I'm just lounging around listening to the spectacular third season LOST soundtrack. I think I'm going to tackle the duty of writing a long entry about my weekend. It shouldn't be too bad, and I need to do it now before I start forgetting stuff. Hopefully I'll force myself to do that tonight. I think I'm going to watch Cloverfield first though. Maybe.

Hope everybody is having a lovely day. <3

Better than finding Jaffa Cakes in your coat pocket.

They are releasing Spaced on region 1 DVD in July!!!

Apparently it's going to have a new commentary done by Edgar, Simon, Jessica and the randomest of randoms -- people who had nothing to do with the making Spaced. I really don't understand why. But it's Quentin Tarantino, Kevin Smith, Matt Stone, Bill Hader(!), Patton Oswalt, and Diablo Cody. Random!

In this article I'm reading there are a couple good quotes about Spaced from people I love. This makes me excited in silly ways. Check it.

"Spaced is utter brilliance. Constantly and amazingly laugh-out-loud funny and heart wrenchingly emotional, this series is for, well, anyone who has ever lived." -- JJ Abrams

"Innovative. Witty. Hilarious. Spaced is the show we American comedians watch and say 'How the hell did they get away with this?!' Spaced is the sole reason I bought an all region DVD player. Now you have no excuse! Buy this and you can officially be cool." -- Bill Hader

So basically Bill and I are soulmates and now I'm going to go watch my region 2 Spaced DVDs because that sounds like the perfect way to work through this hangover. Woooooo!

there was a jukebox at the pub tonight

2008-05-01T14:58:00Z

My Dude costume is complete and it is fabulous. White shirt, plaid man shorts, a giant grey hoodie, jellies, sunglasses, and a hair clip. Amazing. I don't think I could have come up with a more comfortable party outfit. Sure, I will look like a man, but it's my frakking party so whatevah, whatevah, I'll do what I want.

Yes, I am a Lebowski Achiever.

Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?

2008-04-30T23:23:58Z

I am too lazy to make a real post, but there are some things I feel like mentioning.

So... It's list time.

Recent noteworthy events:

Yesterday there was a thunderstorm and I was walking to class in the middle of it. I was certain that I was going to be struck down by lightning for all my sins, so I was really close to getting down on the ground and sticking my bum up in the air because that's what Stephen Fry would do.
We watched a Bollywood movie called Black in my film screening yesterday and it was pretty good, but also really corny. I was disappointed because it didn't have music in it, and that's my favorite part of Bollywood films. Bummer. Anyway it was based on the Helen Keller story which is a good story but there were a bunch of girls crying at the end and it was hilarious. I cry at everything. I certainly was not crying at this film. It was so corny. Oh boy.
My 90s playlist for my party has 200 songs on it. By using the glorious internet I found a bunch of lists of top hits from the 90s and was reminded of all these songs I haven't thought about in 10 years. I downloaded lots of them and it is so fun to hear them again and think about my youth. I like pretending that I am not almost 22 because it scares me.
This morning when I had just woken up, I went into the bathroom and there was a loud bang that shook the floor and the window. It really freaked me out. Seconds later, the phone rang and had no number. When I answered it, there was only a dial tone. I almost had a heart attack. It was horrible. I still don't get it.
I took an unexpected 4 hour nap today. I hate naps but it was awesome.
I started watching Freaks and Geeks last night. Also awesome.
It rained a bunch today and made me feel lazy and sort of sad. Rain is stupid.
I talked to Phish and Brittny on AIM early this afternoon. They were both up really late and I was excited to have someone to talk to at that hour, especially since they are cool. Phish is cute; the evidence can be found here. <3
Tomorrow is my last day of class! EVERRRRRRR!

Confusing. Unpleasant. Oh well.

2008-04-30T20:18:42Z

I've recently become obsessed with a show called Embarrassing Illnesses. It's just what it sounds like -- three doctors who treat people with embarrassing illnesses, and there are no blurred faces and they are not afraid to show you ANYTHING. It's the shit. Sometimes literally. Haaaaaa! This week the doctors are traveling around the UK and they are doing a week of "Embarrassing Bodies," focusing on one part of the body a night. It's amazing. Tonight they are doing vajajays!

The problem is that I've been eating dinner really late this week and it keeps coinciding with this show. It fascinates me so much that I refuse to turn it off, but this means I'm staring at unusual vaginas while I eat my shell pasta. Hmmmm....

I really like people named Jason.

2008-04-30T13:02:37Z

I just realized that Jason Segel has Laura-sized teeth. This probably means we should reproduce and have small-toothed children together. I certainly wouldn't object.

I've only seen 1 and 1/20th episodes of Freaks & Geeks but already I'm in love.

We are all perfect.

2008-04-28T18:27:11Z

Seriously, if Laura Roslin dies before she bones (fraks) Bill Adama, I will be so furious. He will have an eternal set of blue balls that will never be relieved.

EllenSix is scary. I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD, BITCH. GET OFF MY SCREEN.

Lee's hair... Oh, Lee's hair... What will become of it?

Chief... You taste like burger, I don't like you anymore. :(

Ohhhhhhhhhh and RE: 4.03. Let's get some more Anders sex airtime up in here, can we? I wanna see his spine glow red. And it doesn't hurt that he'd be doing it with my girlfriend, who is even hotter. Weeeee!

IS IT SATURDAY MORNING YET!? I WANT MORE!

Now I am going to make an extremely delicious and well-rounded dinner, and then bake some cookies, and sit on my ass watching TV all the while! I'm in a good mood this evening.
