Hello. It's hard to type like a robot. I have an hour to kill and lots to read but I had to come into the HSSB lab to avoid awkwardness. Not really bad awkwardness, just general awkwardness. It's all going to be fine. Don't worry. Anyway now I am sitting at this computer for a few minutes just so coming in here was worthwhile. And I think I will take this opportunity to talk about how I have three girl-crushes because sometimes women are just way too cool for me to only have the hots for male celebrities. My three girl-crushes are (in no particular order):

1. Tina Fey,
2. Evangeline Lilly, and
3. Jessica Stevenson.

I guess I like them so much just because they are all examples of the kind of person I would like to be myself. I need to become more obsessed with Jessica though because I don't know a lot about her and I have only seen her in a handful of things. I just know that every time her face pops up (like in one of the episodes of Black Books that I watched today), I smile.

I think that'll do for now. I'm going to find some place to read... I wonder if Spaced came today... I NEED IT. Sorry. I was trying to leave. I am off to read. Yes. I said that. Okay.

I woke up at 1:00 pm today. Oops!

My Latin test is in two days. I REALLY SHOULD STUDY.

Last night I went to Blockbuster with Brittny (Bidni) and Val (Val). I got all awkward because I was stressed about lines and forms and not having a place to fill it out etc. I am so stupid. My most ginormous apologies to Bidni and Val. But eventually I got a Blockbuster card (ew that guy was a TOOL) and Val had used her four free movie passes to get her movie and my three free! Everyone working there was crazy/stupid/crazy stupid.

Anyhoo, I came home with:

Confetti - A mocumentary about three couples competing to have the most original wedding of the year, awarded by Confetti magazine. It stars people such as Martin Freeman from The Office, Jessica Stevenson and Mark Heap, both from Spaced.

Tristam Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story - I think I originally wanted to rent this because David Walliams was in it, and then I watched a trailer and thought it looked really good. Unfortunately that was a little while ago and I can't remember what it's about now. Steve Coogan is the lead, I believe. And Ian Hart (from Harry Potter and Dirt), is in it and I love him.

Young Adam - I came across this yesterday in my online search for good Scottish movies. Ewan McGregor is the star... And apparently he is nudie-pants in it. ;) IMDb gives this as the description: "A young drifter working on a river barge disrupts his employers' lives while hiding the fact that he knows more about a dead woman found in the river than he admits." The only other names I recognize are Jack McElhone and Emily Mortimer, who played Frankie and his mom in Dear Frankie.

Brittny wanted to get a movie called Shortbus but they didn't have it at Blockbuster. She called Video Schmideo who said they had it, so I went with her to go pick it up. We had a delightful time.

We came home and decided to watch Shortbus before SNL because that was due back before any of the movies I got. It was quite shocking at first - lots and lots of explicit sexuality. But it wasn't like a porno or anything, it was a legit movie with real actors (some better than others) and an interesting plot. I ended up really liking it! But I wouldn't recommend it for those who get uncomfortable easily... There's lots of content you don't normally see in movies.

Then we watched SNL and I have to say I was a bit disappointed. I'm not sure what's going on... I know they have talented writers and every member of the cast is amazing... But last night's episode was mediocre at best. I think what they're really lacking is recurring characters/sketches... You can NEVER go wrong with Deep House Dish. And Digitial Shorts are always good, as are most commercials, but those are not the heart of the show and shouldn't be the best part every week!!! I will always support SNL. I will never be one of those bitches who says "I love SNL but it hasn't been good since Will Ferrell left!" because they obviously haven't even tried to watched it since Will Ferrell/whoever left. But back in the days of Will Ferrell and a little bit after, there were tons and tons of recurring characters who were adored by the audience. Where are the Mary Katherine Gallaghers? The Lovahs? The Gemini's Twins? The Brian Fellows? Episodes like last night's are filled with sketches about characters who we don't care about because we'll never see them again. I also think it really depends on the host. Rainn Wilson was an excellent host. Even Matthew Fox was quite enjoyable. But for some reason, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who was ON the show, doesn't do it for me. I love her, don't get me wrong, but I didn't like her episode last season, and I didn't like last night's either. I don't exactly know why, I just didn't.

Weird.

Anyway, after that, we didn't want to go to bed so we watchhed Confetti. Oh my God. I loved it. It was so so cute! I'm definitely going to copy it before I take it back because it was basically the perfect feel-good movie. First of all, mocumentaries are almost always winners. Pretty much every actor in it kicked ass. Martin Freeman and Jessica Stevenson were my favorites -- both subtly hilarious and ADORABLE at the same time. Heheheheee!





And after that I watched an episode of Stella ("Camping") and eventually went to bed.

Ewww I don't wanna study. I am the worst student ever.
