Speaking of Gilmore Girls, the last time I had followed the series was when Rory was 16 and took Dean to her prom while wearing the blue gown her mom had sewn for her. Now, I've gotten into it again like 5 years later and it's STILL CLEVER. OH MAH GAH, I LOVE THIS SHOW. Someone get me the writer and I will TRIUMPH over day-to-day life situations with a golden rhetoric and sassiness in every step.
In other news, my friend Erica and her friend Taylor have this screenprinted T-shirt business and she wants me in on the designing. They sell their shirts at this shop in Brentwood and the owner only takes 15% of the revenue. Neat, huh? Supposedly we're getting our own table at Ape Aftermath.
Can't Get a Date? YES! YOU! CAN!

As Long As It's Not the Grammys
Ryan | Monday, August 28, 2006
Emmys were fun! Conan O'Brian for the win! My few comments:
> Best. Emmy. Opening. Ever. "Well, we weren't invited.." "But you guys won last year! Nothing makes any sense anymore!"
> Poor, poor Stephen Colbert. "Good Evening, Godless Sodomites" He and Jon Stewart are the new Oprah and Gayle
> Project Runway Season 2 was robbed
> Barry Manilow is the Devil incarnate, or a blonde Liza Minelli (no, not a good thing)
> Bob Newhart in a air-tight tube was hilarious
> HAHA at Simon Cowell's Boo's; Half of them were in disgust of his unbuttoned blouse.
> "She has two first names; he has two last names"
> I could listen to Hugh Laurie's voice/accent(s) forever
> Dude, all Dick Clark wants is to be left alone. Shizz was uncomfortable to watch. Srsly.
> Yay for Eva Longoria's dress, Nay for Eva Longoria.
> Yay for the Office! Poor Steve Carrell and Will Arnett, though.
> Wow, Mariska actually won, the new hair works
> Tina Fey + Tracy Morgan! HAHA "Damn, this fool is STILL talkin!"
> Aw, Lisa Kudrow! I'm still on your team! > I sort of really hate all things 24.
> There was this really good Diamond commercial that ran during the breaks... like dandilion seeds floating in the wind, with cinematography like a 70s TV show? Like when we were on the bus? Yeah, I liked that.
That was a nice oasis on the road to the Oscars. Dreamgirlsdreamgirlsdreamgirls.
Just Cause I'm Nice, and I Know You Guys Would Like It
Ryan | Sunday, August 27, 2006
Uh, here's some stuff I don't understand but you guys probably do: The Lost Experience.
Apparently the guy has about 53 pieces? Is that alot? anyway, yeah. There's even a YouTube thing he posted showing the parts of THE video you guys are totally psyched about. Anyway, I needs me the second disc of Lost Season 1, if I'm ever to be indoctrinated by you guys. The first few episodes are good.
So far I'm liking Boone, the Korean Lady, the Pregnant Lady, and I guess Jack, but I'm guessing everyone likes Jack. I don't like Locke, Walt, nor Sawyer. They're just annoying but I really dislike Locke. I don't see what's in him that's like me, so I'm starting to guess that it's just a big ole' guffaw at my expense and all the other characters you guys compare me to are your little inside jokes (Dwight, much?). Thanks alot, guys. I'll be in the corner rolling my eyes with Mariela, a-thank a-you a-vurry-much.
But don't forget to give me the rest of Season 1... I can roll my eyes and watch TV at the same time. But I'll be bitter, too. I'm a multitasker.
you have one hour to vist the tresemme hair salon and the loreal paris makeup room
Kelsey | Sunday, August 27, 2006
where have you heard this song before?
The Answer.
That Dell computer commercial. Where the guy chooses what he wants to put in his computer at the factory. Dell is definitely winning me over. Firstly with that dreamboat on the other commercial. He's so dreamy. Secondly with this song which definitely deserves a combination of booty shaking and finger snapping whenever it comes on.
I get the wisdom pulled out of my mouth Thursday. THE weekend of bumbershoot, shoot. We should go Sunday. but i'll settle for Saturday if my puffy cheeks are gone by then. I ain't down with Monday though.
Also, if anyone would like to help me find a running, '90-'06, used car under 5,000 for a good deal go right ahead. I found a red Le Baron convertible with a white top for like $2100. It looked kinda smelly.
You know that Hilton girl gives you nightmares
Monica | Saturday, August 26, 2006
So, I like Vanessa Hudgen's new music video. I think it looks cute. Does that make me crazy? Am I going to hell?Our fearful leader has abandoned us for a life more glamorous. Well, if you had a choice, would you rather be: a) in SoCal, drinking up the sun and being within a 200 mile radius of the actors of VM; b) sitting in your room in Washington, being bored out of your ehffing mind; or c) spelunking. I don't know, really. C is rather adventurous.
I memorized my school ID number, my social security number, and the LOST numbers on the number pad on the right of the keyboard. And if becoming a doctor or an artist or a hobo fails, I think I'm going to take up cryptography. Sound's nerdy and exciting at the same time! Too bad I don't even know where to begin. But I know I will end up in jail for breaking bank accounts on the Cayman Islands for Danny Ocean... or something.
I have too much time on my hands.

Holy smokes, I want an Apollo Chocolate Bar! Not those Japanese chocolate/strawberry things. HAHA. I mean.. the free ones that are part of TLE. Shoot.
8/24, 7:30PMSighh. These are my chances in getting one. Unless they're going to start selling them in stores. IDK. I wish. Janelle, you should totally go!

Anyway, back to Lost...
Got an e-mail from Rachel Blake (HAHA! Yes, I get e-mails. Jealous?) and it said:
RACHEL HERE.
You think they'll reveal the meaing of the numbers now? GAHH. I also missed the August 11th DJ Dan Broadcast, where you could actually call in. And that would've been cool. Oh, well.
JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW -- THEY'RE AFTER ME...
BUT, I'M STILL BREATHING.
I LISTENED TO DJ DAN. I FEEL YOUR SUPPORT. I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT IT MEANS TO ME.
YOU'RE DOING GREAT WORK WITH THE SRI LANKA VIDEO. KEEP GOING. FIND THE PIECES. PUT THEM TOGETHER AT WWW.HANSOEXPOSED.COM
BUT THAT'S NOT WHY I'M WRITING.
THE REASON I'M WRITING IS TO TELL YOU... SOMETHING'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN. PAY ATTENTION. HEAD TO WWW.APOLLOCANDY.COM
TRUST ME.
THAT'S ALL FOR NOW.
There's more on it here. I'm still collecting fragments, but I've been too lazy to put them together. Anyway, that Lostpedia page says: He [DJ Dan] said that there are only 15 seconds that are worth watching in the film, which is subsequently the amount of time Siberhartz appears. By "Siberhartz" they mean Jamie Silberhartz, who is the actress who plays Rachel Blake. So, I guess it doesn't matter anyway because none of the fragments have her in it yet. Khuh.
Cause She's a Life-Ruiner; She Ruins Other People's Lives
Ryan | Monday, August 21, 2006
Here are the tracks you've requested, in all their glory
Death Cab for Cutie - 405 (Acoustic)
Massive Attack - Teardrop
Plus some bonus: my favourite DCFC song other than 'Passenger Seat,' and a Beth Orton remix by Roots Manuva, in the vein of that icy trip hop that Massive Attack helped introduce. Enjizzoy.
Death Cab for Cutie - Steadier Footing
Beth Orton - Daybreaker (Roots Manuva Remix)
So I came home after the Seattle trip, and after running with Cliff on Saturday, followed by the hike through the wasteland that is the University of Washington and all that shopping, my legs were just shot. I could bend them but to straighten them out was murder. then I woke up and I had to roll out of my bed and when I hit the floor, I crawled to the kitchen. Down my flight of stairs.
But seriously, I love my black pants. Don't I just. Yeah. Worth it.
We. Must. Get. Macs. Right. Now.
You got a sweet love hangover and you don't need no cure
Monica | Saturday, August 19, 2006
So, I've been listening to the songs from Tina Majorino's band, The [AM] Project. At first I was like, "Gee, some sort of angry girl music or something." But you know what? I'm getting into it. So let me spread some love: Seat In Your Heart - The [AM] Project. It's the non-angry song. I like it. I mean, I don't know if VM people would be cheesy enough to put a song from one of it's stars into the show, but it just might work as small small small background music. No one likes too much cheese. Unless you're, like, French or a cheese-aficionado.Why Monica Likes Wentworth (including why Monica likes Beaver!) / List of what's on 'Songs of Veronica Mars' CD
"'I'm the nicest guy in Hollywood, I swear!' he says, his voice resonant with sincerity. 'Anyone who says otherwise is a f---ing liar.'"
AHAHAHA. I <3 Wentworth.
Wow. If he'd have not gone into acting and, like, turned into President... I would gladly be his Monica Lewinksi. Actually, I'd rather not be the girl under the desk in the Oval Office, so... I can be his... Laura Bush? IDK. Martha Washington, WHATEVER.
AND HE LIKES STRANGERS WITH CANDY. "I will never look at snack cakes the same way again. Amy Sedaris is a genius." Amy+Wentworth? Not conventional, but I like it. And like, what, a ten year age difference? WHATEV, WHATEV.
Did Beaver love Mac?
Yeah, yes. I think that Beaver definitely did love Mac. In the show, she's like the only person to actually challenge him, she could actually make him laugh, she was the only person he could be himself with, the only person who liked him for who he was. To Cassidy, she was his biggest escape – she was the only one that Cassidy would never hurt.
In the scene where Cassidy ended up taking her clothes, and she was crying in the corner, I'm sure that people would see it as mean and awful. But when I read the script, the way that I saw it is that Cassidy took her clothes to keep her out of harm's way. The last thing Cassidy would want was for her to be up on that roof, for her to potentially get hurt or to get in trouble. In Cassidy's mind, it was his own twisted way of protecting her and making sure that everything was okay.
That's really interesting. And a much nicer interpretation of the line "He took everything."
Oh sure, her scene was… heartbreaking. I was watching it thinking, "Oh my god, I'm so mean." But I read it as… Cassidy wanted to keep her safe.
What a sweetheart. Crazy, psychotic sweetheart. More Beaver Interview here.
Heads Down, THUMBS UP!
Ryan | Saturday, August 19, 2006
We's going to the University District, maybe Capitol Hill, if you guys want maybe a movie? We could even go try to find out information for being an extra on Grey's Anatomy. Fine by me, just as long as I get some shopping done.
Monica, if your church takes a little long than expected we could always take the 12:35 ferry and if we all meet for the 11:30 we can explore Bremerton until the next ferry! Yahoo!
I'm posting the songs up later tonight, so heads up, seven up, for that.
In the magazines they talk about weight loss, if I buy those jeans I can look like Kate Moss.
Misha | Friday, August 18, 2006
Hm. I need a ride on sunday. Is anybody.. offering? HAHA.
I found this shirt.
Did you know that the actor who plays Hannah Montana's dad is her real father? What's even more interesting is that he's the guy who sang that Achey Breaky Heart song. HAHA.
And if you google "Our bond grows stronger everyday, He Who Has Satellite Dish." we're #1! HAHAHA. You don't even have to do the quotation marks or the punctuation. Cool? I think so.
Human? Maybe. Interest? No.
Monica | Friday, August 18, 2006
Monica hates school. And it hasn't even started! But 'hate' is a powerful word. As well as my feelings toward school.Momentary Thing - Something Happens. Played in 1.17: Weapons of Class Destruction. You know, it played on that one scene. Yeah, THAT scene. You know what scene I'm talking about (ps. cool snapdrive thingy.)
Also. Kelsey, I would like to know if you are completely finished watching all of Veronica Mars (because, you know... I want to be able to talk about certain things), and if your mom is done with season 1. I'd like to start my father and mother on the show. I don't think they'll get all the jokes, but still. Family bonding and the like.
Another thing: Ryan and Mariela, get your asses in gear and start watching these shows! PUT DOWN THOSE BOOKS. TURN OFF THAT iPOD. SWERVE YOUR MINDS OFF SCHOOL. TAKE A BREAK FROM YOUR JOBS. Because if we talk about these TV things that you aren't familiar with, it'll just ruin it when you DO watch them.
I think I'm going to Victoria tomorrow. Mom is taking aunt to the gardens and me and my dad don't want to go their again. Madame Tussauds, peut-être? And hopefully all their sections are open. My sister and I were totally ripped off in Las Vegas.
Shake Your Bon-Bon
Ryan | Friday, August 18, 2006
Another in the category of "Makes Me Wanna Dance" but it's not really a dance-oriented song. The baseline is enough though, and the background singers going "whooOOaa," too. Srsly. You download now, you visit site for more, you buy album later. Go go go!
BTW, I made us a Snapdrive account so we can host our own Mp3's. Feel free to use it for your own songs, too. The screen name is "woldboy" because of a tragic typo on my part, and the password is the same as the password for this.
Oh, and Mariela and Monica, I'll post "405" and "Teardrop" (you know, that song you wanted from Prison Break as they escape?) later. Not too long, though. I hope.
I love Annie Hall. I love it. Reminds me of Eternal Sunshine; Definately recommened for not only a rent but a buy. It's actually On Demand right now, so get on that. Woody Allen + Diane Keaton 4EVR!
OH, and just cause I'm a total Space Enthusiast:
Scientists are trying to implement a 12-Planet model of the solar system, which will be a major problem for Sailor Moon and the rest, what with having to meet 3 new girls in their already defined hierchy. And the original footage of the lunar landing has been lost, which further bolsters my belief that it was all a sham, since the government has just misplaced the evidence that could dispel the rumours of its falsity.
Anyways, back to TV, Movies, Music, and Fashion.
Dick! You Totally Nailed Me!
Monica | Wednesday, August 16, 2006
More music from Veronica Mars! See My Friends - Gravenhurst. From Not Pictured, the finale of season 2. Pretty much breaks my heart and gives me the ehffing creeps. Yep. I love it. I'm kind of masochistic like that.Also want to share more VM love: Sway - The Perishers. Played in Plan B when Mac hugs Beav and Veronica saves Gia from Logan's wrath.
PR3 comments
That broke my heart. What? WHAT? Are you serious? Vincent doesn't think outside the box! He's just ehffing NUTS! At least Allison never had any bottom 2 designs like VINCENT. Vinnie better watch his back.
Michael better beat his ass (in design is a given; I meant literally). Isn't he great? Wasn't I totally right? That he was my choice. I totally called it.

Should I Check Myself Before I Wreck Myself?
Monica | Monday, August 14, 2006
I just wanted to add this, which is a video sent to CW from the WB to show them WHY Veronica Mars should be in their line-up. And I swear, whoever did the editing on this little promo should do, like, all the promos because I gotta say, wow. If you don't immediately want to watch VM after watching this, then you are nuts. Nuts, I tell you, NUTS! I bag of Elephant treats! Cajones! Crazy! Absolutely J-CAT!
Shampoo Suicide!
Ryan | Monday, August 14, 2006
Starring Ryan Gosling in a performance hailed by top critics as "legendary," scored by none other than Broken Social Scene. I'm sooo in.
New Goal: One a ya'll make a new layout for School/Fall/thelastfallofourprecollegelivesOMG.
Also, an inquiery has been submit unto the council of elders. Reslyn is under consideration for the aging/sex change process. If approved, the ceremony will be conducted at the light of the next full moon (or whenever the new layout is up). Because she is new, any A-class level infraction (such as never capitalising, spelling errors, making posts look ugly, overuse of Lost jargon just to make us Foundys feel out of the loop, etc.) will be met with the necessary hazing. The end.
Hunky-dory
Kelsey | Sunday, August 13, 2006
We made BANK at the garage sale. Nick bought an ipod shuffle (now filled with Jackson 5, Vanilla ice, Run DMC, and Bob Marley). Kiley bought an emerald city smoothie. I bought some J.Lo jeans.
If anyone is bored then watch "Who Wants to Be a Superhero?" It's a light hearted cutie pie, oft uncommon in reality television today. Plus it's grown adults acting the fool, if you catch my drift. You can get it for free on iTunes.
I'd hit this
my new purse. I like working with velvet it's clean. Even though silky fabrics are my favorite they are so hard to use and I never make it as neat/sleek as it should be. For that, I'd be kicked off PR.
So Ryan, do you have a Persepolis and/or Protect and Defend that I can borrow? I don't care if there's writing.
A-laugh-popped-out VM Quote:
Principal: "What were you doing at the copy machine?"
VM : "Making coffee."
-the Carnival is my favorite 2nd season episode so far. I wish our school had one. I mean even Grease had one.
I was kidding about the jeans being all J.Lo... and you were scared. Ha.
Wang Chung,Or I'll Kick Your Ass!
Monica | Sunday, August 13, 2006
First time I saw promos for Kyle XY on TV, I was like, "Oh my gah, this guy has, like, a really ehffing deep voice. He is, like, the white version of a young James Earl Jones." Well, I guess it's not the voice that he uses on a daily basis, because the boy speaks fluent gay.Whatever. I may be politically incorrect, but in my world, I'm so right.
Anyway, pwns my bastard child of a trailer. HP is a freakin' queer. But that's OK. T-Bag is down with that.
Everything is freakin' gay. Gay gay gay gay gay. There.
Alright. Now, Veronica Mars notes: One of the guys who sang "Veronica" on karaoke at Java the Hut, where VM works, is a guy from SPOON. Must've been a cameo, but the heck if I knew who he was. And the guy who sang "Love Hurts" was from The Dandy Warhols. The heck if I knew either! Jizz.
Also, a writer on the show is named "John Enbom" and if you watch the finale of season 2, Clemmons calls up "John Enbom" to get his diploma.
Man. I got some of these small details from TV.com and for my own brain. But obviously my skills aren't advanced enough to pick at the Lost Experience. Boo ehffing hoo. Anyway. A song for your troubles: Lily Dreams On - Cotton Mather. Played at the end of VM season 1 finale.
And according to the cap of my Snapple, a hummingbird weighs less than a penny. How's that for a random piece of information? I know, I know. I'm a genius.
I'm on a schedule here, vato.

O M G
So.... I have recently retrieved a new fragment.
I'm not sure if I put it in the right order, but....
is this guy Alvar Hanso?!
O M G.
Nevermind. I probably assembled it wrong. Or did I?! -____________-
Btw, I googled "vato." According to rapdict.org, it's East LA hispanic slang meaning "homeboy." Same as "ese." YAY! HAHA

And I Quote:
"There is NO way Michael can lose this with Nazri (Keith's first model) and Pam Grier. No. Possible. Way. Yaaaaayyy!"
And I don't care anymore: Tutu/Angela, you and me are alright, you're hilarious. Our beef is over, we're fine like a chicken thigh.
For any ya'll who care, Aziz Ansari put up another one of his short films, Clell Tickle: Indie Marketing Guru, in the same vein of his Indie Clerk Assholes, and again, esoteric. This time, however, he has cameos by Best Week Ever elite, Ted Leo, Devendra Barnhart. It's like a Where's Waldo!
Some highlights:
- "My Name's Clell Tickle. I'm a Dreamweaver." ( funny 'haha' and 'hoho')
- The way Paul Scheers says "Why is he in my Kitchen?" in third person
- The double gap attack by Ted Leo and Paul Scheers; Brothers? Long lost brothers?
- Watching him yell at the audience (which is really going on) is so uncomfortable and icky it goes back to being funny and the cycle continues
- Devendra Banhart still is the only person capable of pulling off the long hair + beard combo better than us other comparatively bowling ball-headed peopns. Seriously, girls. You simply could not work the beard.
- Anything with Hambone, former ultimate fighting champion and convicted child arsonist.
- The whole thing about Tapes 'n Tapes being derivative of the Pixies. HAHAHA! "I don't think it sounds like a derivative!"
- I squealed in glee and jumped from my chair when I saw the framed album cover of Ratatat on the Pitchfork guy's wall.
- 'How can I listen harder?"
For more fits and giggles check out Indie Clerk Assholes. Indietastic, indeed.

You know what I found out about the lotion I've been using this summer? It is a BRONZER. So an answer to why, oh so surprisingly, my tan lines on my arms are not disappearing somehow they are getting DARKER... is because my lotion is like a SELF TANNER.Son of a motherehhfing crackwhore! I am just.. so... ANGRY.
But other than that, a song to share: I Hear The Bells - Mike Doughty. It's a nice song. It was in Veronica Mars AND Grey's Anatomy.
It's time to make like a tree and branch. HAHAHA. Leave. Root. What else do trees do? Filter oxygen. Grow apples and other fruit. Provide shade for humble immigrant fieldworkers.
Better Late Than Never: Love Songs in June
Ryan | Tuesday, August 8, 2006
EDIT: This video of Broken Social Scene leaving after their set at Lollapalooza a few days ago gives me chills and pangs of frustration that I can't buy plane tickets to Chicago whenever I please. Emily Haines, Amy Milan, and Feist were all there! Usually one or 2 are absent working with their normal bands/projects which makes the fact that I missed this this for all the normal financial and practical reasons more and more heartbreaking. C'mon! The gottdang trinity, mang! The whole band was there, all 16!! I now have a mission in life. Post-Senior Roadtrip I say we travel to where they'll be and go! And we keep following until all 16 are there. I'm doing the driving, right? Yeah, we're so doing this.
I had this plan a few weeks ago to post 5 or so songs that I've listened to the most during the previous month. It's been 8 days into August and I just now remember. As is usual with all yousendit stuff, you have 7 days to download, which I strongly suggest you do, so without further ado, my personal Best of June 06:
My most played song added to my library during June was sung by this three-piece, polka-dotted 60s throwback, but oh-so-much-more. Pure pop, instant early 60s girl-band nostalgia, soaring and angelic vocals -- not to mention the thundering, stop and go, funky instrumentals -- this song makes you want to do all those quasi-interpretive dance moves the 60s were known for, that is, before those accursed Beatles came and changed the landscape of music for the next 40+ years. Their brand-new album is absolutely worth it.
+ Sam Cooke - Bring It on Home to Me
Whenever I think of Same Cooke I think of Tupac's "Thugz Mansion," whose music video counts as one of my all-time favourites (yes, it's better than his "California Love.") This song would fit perfectly next to "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" if you need any further reason to get it. I mean, it's the Sam Cooke. Seriously. The way he delivers lines like "I'll always, always be your slave / 'til I'm buried, buried in my grave" drips with sincerity. Listen to this, drinking peppermint schnapps.
+ TV on the Radio - Ambulance
The most romantic, cold, beautiful, amazing songs I've heard in a long time. The ghostly vocals and the swirling acapella in the background swell, crash, fall, mix, they drown (literally) into each other like a train of thought. Lyrics like "I will be your accident if you will be my ambulance / and I will be your screech and crash if you will be my crutch and cast" would not work in anyone's hands but TV on the Radio, where this simply fits. It would have come across as tired melodrama on others' lips. They add a lovelorn, jaded maturity as they burst with intent.
+ the Lovely Feathers - Photo Corners
Long story, short: Goes from slow to fast in the chorus, "We'd laugh if we were younger" is chant-inducing (actually, the whole thing is chant-around-a-fire inducing), makes me want to dance, I can't tell if the instrument in the chorus is an organ or accordian or whatever but I'll go with accordian. Just get it.
+ Cat Power ft. Karen Elson - I Love You
+ the Bees - I Love You
Completely coincidental, last month these two songs were among my most played, both with the same name each entirely different. Aside from their similar name, they also share the quality of being worthy of sunday morning strolls in autumn, mornings in bed, white sheets on clotheslines, snow melting, passionate and nostalgic. If I had to choose one, however, I'd have to go with Cat Power with her inimitable smokey drawl of a voice, but the 70s AM Radio charm of the Bees' song is just as breezy and sweet.
Now for some Old Boy plans: Kelsey is holding a garage sale at her house, and she has graciously consented for us to bring our stuff over to shamelessly haggle with strangers. If we can make a day out of it, all the better. I say we have a contest to see who can make the most money. Just a heads up: I'm bringing books. Those sell like hotcakes. What normal suburban family-first parent with money wouldn't buy a novel over a much-needed home appliance? Exactamundo. This contest is mine.
I give up. The 'Shizuka Arakawa N*pple' searchers won't stop. Ever. It's been 6+ months since she won, how big must she be in Japan to keep getting search inquiries? I say our new Motto, instead of the generally accepted "Youse Just an Old Boy" be officially changed to "It Has Nothing and Everything to do with Shizuka Arakawa's N*pple." And no, I'm no Puritan, the asterisk is to prevent further searches to wind up here. But they probably will anyway.
We've talked about other celebrities, but no one's looking for them! I mean, what's Shizuka got that they don't? Sure the Gold Medal is pretty rad, but out of all the celebrities we talk about, why her? This is starting to get ridunkulous.
Next week I say we go to Seattle for clothes shopping and we attend the Filipino History Workshop with Janelle. I'm excited for it cause I've also been feeling a little guilty that I don't know as much as I would like. I'm good for next Monday and Friday. Yeah?! Yeah! Janelle, if you're reading this just say whenever's good for you too. Yay!
man i wish i could cuss.

I feel like shouting some bad words.
Giddy Veronica Mars Thoughts
VERONICA MARS WAS SO GOOD. EEEEEK! I can't stop gritting my teeth and smiling. I didn't see how much I would come to love this show. It really grew on me in the last two discs.
Who was it at her door? Who was it? I gotta know. I hope it wasn't Duncan (still don't like him). Tell me whatever I gotta do to get the second season, cause I'll do it. Whatever it takes.
I liked the deputy but I just LOVE Veronica and Logan together. It's so forbidden, haha. I just hope her and Wallace NEVER happen. Ew. Shoot, now I can even tolerate the dad. Oh, and forget Troy; I have no attachment to that character any more.
"YOUR MY SISTER!" I felt the same as I did in LOST. Incest makes me cringe so badly. With all this teeth grinding I'm gonna need braces to fix my overbite.
Four Barrel Quads, Oh Yeah

Grease is so tacky. But who hasn't said that?
I guess I'm back from Disneyland. That was some semi-family reunion. Twenty people and that's not even half my mom's side. I'll talk more about it later, though.
Feeling a little Lost (pun) here. I can't talk about television serials, nor shall I profess a newfound love for the Tutu. And Misha sure loves those expanding links.
On Project Runway last week, I was so angry that Miss Macaroni Art won the opportunity to design an outfit for INC. I mean, it was all Michael's and Laura's polishing that attributed to the outfit's success. Her "granny circles," as Laura put it, almost ruined the whole thing too. Just... go away.
I feel like I'm in a bad relationship. Minus an actual relationship.
she's badass, smokin' hot, and overall nice to come home to

I'm buying Prison Break at Target instead of Best Buy. I mean, at Target it may be one dollar more than BB, but at least it comes with it comes with a nice extra sum'nsum'n. But at Best Buy, you get those really gay mobisodes on a disc. I saw them online. They... kind of suck. And you know what? If it don't pertain to Michael, Linc, or the main Escarpa team, then I really don't care. I'd rather have Behind The Walls (which I already saw) and footage from the wrap party.If We Lived In TV
Ryan - Izzie; George-ish; A little bit of Meredith.
Mariela - Both Sheppards; A dash of Burke.
Misha - George; Maybe a little bit of Chief of Surgery.
Monica - Bailey; Christina; George.
But who is ass-hole-ish enough to be Alex?
Ryan - John Locke; Walt; Maybe Jin (maybe).
Mariela - Sun; Ana-Lucia.
Misha - Sun; Claire; Hurley; Shannon.
Monica - Ana-Lucia; ... Henry? I'm not like many Lost-characters. I guess I'd never be stranded on an island.
Ryan - Westmoreland; Pope; Any other old boy in PB; Nick Savrinn.
Mariela - Michael.
Misha - Manche.
Monica - C-Note.
Ryan - Ryan "The Temp"; Kelly; Dwight.
Mariela - Jan; Angela.
Misha - Phyllis; Kevin; Toby.
Monica - Stanley; Meredith.
Ryan - Mac; Cliff.
Mariela - Veronica; Keith; Weevil.
Misha - Wallace; Beaver.
Monica - Logan ; Mac; Kind of Dick-ish.
If you beg to differ, then be my guest.
Garage Sale friday! bring over stuff & we'll sell it.

some LOST thoughts
THIS is the 2nd worst shirt of Jack's (the worst is the green t-shirt with the strecthed out collar that he shares with Locke). He should get more shirts like Gin, he's always so clean.
I'm in a certain music phase. One that my Mom probably was in before. It started April of last year with Boston, which spurred my interest lately in Journey, Toto, and Asia. I'm afraid of turning into my dad's friend that we camp with sometimes. Although his music is more Metallica and Kiss, he's totally into cigarrettes, beer and partying on . Not that partying on is a bad thing, just when there's a beer and a Marlboro in the same hand (different hands might slide but the same hand is just so K-fed). I can't decide what genre this is (adult alternative? classic rock?..) What would you call it?:
Any Way You Want It - Journey
Africa - Toto
Heat of the Moment - Asia
On Amazon.com it was $100.24 for Used: Beneath the Wheel, C and P, and the textbooks for Gov. maybe that wasn't worth it. maybe wasting my parents money on future restless sleep for me wasn't a good idea. J.S.S. (Just Sayin Sayid).

How long would it take to build an army?
Hanso Foundation = obsessed with Valenzetti Equation.
According to the fictional book The Valenzetti Equation, by Gary Troup (Bad Twin), the Equation has something to do with an equation that predicts the apocalypse.
Rachel Blake says (HAHA!) that Hanso has held people in some basement against their will and have forced them to work on an equation.
4 + 8 + 15 + 16 + 23 + 42 = 108
108 minutes to press the button.
When you don’t push the button, the hieroglyphics show.
Hieroglyphics on the timer thing in the hatch mean "(to cause) to die."
... Shrug.
Warm.. Warmer.. Disco!
Ryan | Sunday, August 6, 2006
If you're like me (and why not?), you'll laugh for minutes and minutes once you get it; then you'll laugh full force hours later just thinking about it. More can be read here. "Special Delivery," "Nice T Shirt," "Shotgun Settle," "Nunez," "Moon Mouse," "Rodeo," and "Chaos Grid" make me giggle. Especially "Chaos Grid!" And "Punch Bout!" And "Executive Decision." "SCORPY THE FOREST FRIEND!" "GENIUS SIR!! "BILLY THE BUNNY!!!!" Too. Much. Funny! HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Also:
OMAGAHHH!! MADONNA! AUDREY! KATHERINE! PAM MUTHAF*CKING GRIER!!! Go watch the preview on Bravo too! From viewing it, I've decided that Tutu Angela (Her hand flailing, gallopping in place, and screaming is the definition of endearing), her model ("I knew I had to fight to the death for Audrey Hepburn"), and Robert and his model ("I FOUGHT! I FOUGHT! WOOO!!") are my new BFFs. There is NO way Michael can lose this with Nazri (Keith's first model) and Pam Grier. No. Possible. Way. Yaaaaayyy!
Did you know the Macy's Challenge Episode was the most watched tv show that day? More viewers than the Finale of Season Two. I smell Emmy!
I'm learning that staying up til 6 in the morning, watching Pulp Fiction two times in a row, while looking up information/trivia about it on IMDB provokes a sort of zen clarity. I mean, did you know that the scene where John Travolta jabs the adrenaline shot into Uma Thurman was filmed backwards?! Also, (Omahgah!) a young Kathy Griffin was the lady talking to Marcellus when he was on the ground after the car crash! The dance scene at Jack Rabbit Slim's remains my all-time favourite dance sequence in any movie, bar none. Huzzah!
I'll have to start saving my lunch money soon to buy Pulp Fiction, the Kill Bill Series, and the Kar Wai Wong Anthology DVD set in time to wrap them and give to myself on Christmas.
Now that I've got my priorities set, time to work on those books for AP Lit and Gov, and paint some still lifes. Good thing I learned how to make coffee yesterday. Before, I would put 3 tablespoons of coffee, 2 spoons of sugar, and 2.5 (yes, precisely.) spoons of creamer, then add the water. It was always really light-coloured when the water was titrated (Woo! AP Chem, represent!) because there was too much creamer (which I didn't realize). Then, hoping to cancel the lightness out, I would proceed to add more coffee mix in order to darken it (which doesn't happen, apparently). After a few minutes there would be probably around 7 to 10 spoonfuls of pure caffeine in the tiny mug. Which I'd drink purely out of frustration, despite it tasting like how I'd imagine primordial soup would taste. Then I'd add more sugar, making the primordial soup just that much more primordial. And that's how I've become the person I am today, a coffee drinker since 7th grade; now you know. Now I know, come to think of it.
The quick fix? I now take my coffee black.
P.S. The title of my earlier post referenced The Birdcage, which is just super, thanks for asking.
HAHAHAH! HE WEILDS THE CHAOS GRID! HAHAHAHAHAHH!!!!
Who's Marcus?
Misha | Friday, August 4, 2006
What's he gonna do? Call you a 23?
To Janelle: I have been keeping up with hansoexposed.com. I have 27 fragments, but I cheat. HAHA. I get them from: http://www.hansoexposedfragments.com/
To Kelsey: How could you not push the button? Did you not learn from Desmond?
Also, does anyone think Charlie has been acting a little weird? Especially after the hatch blew up. When asked what happened to Locke and Mr. Eko, he was all, "Oh, they're not back yet?" ... Evil, much? I thought it was kind of weird. Eh? Fine.
To Ryan: Does our school do a senior trip type thing? Maybe you can bring that up at your meeting, eh?
I think the song clip I posted sounds like SexyBack. Shrug.
YES YES YES!!

Ryan | Friday, August 4, 2006
Edit: I archived our posts from June, plus a few August things. Now OB looks so fresh, especially since you can actually see and read the bottom bar once again. Woo! Turkey?
I was going through my CD collection and I've pulled out a few that I'd be willing to sell/trade/bestow:
- the Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
- Minotaur Shock - Maritime
- Fruit Bats - Spelled in Bones
- the White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan
- the Killers - Hot Fuss
- R.E.M. - In Time: The Best of R.E.M. 1988-2003
Just ask and it can be yours. Note: Minotaur Shock is worth it for "The Broads" alone, for serious.
I also listed my wares on LaLa.com where you can list cds and trade to others, giving and recieving, for only a dollar or so plus a 75 cent shipping fee. That's cheap, homegurl; Hop on the bandwagon.
I'm working on a Back-to-School Mix, which I might post later. On it are my current main squeezes: New Order, T. Rex, the Smiths, Black Keys, the Jam, Locksley, and Sleepy Jackson. Better than an 80s teen-flick soundtrack is what I'm shooting for.
Speaking of, there's a senior class meeting this saturday; anyone care to tag along? I'm almost certainly sure that there will be food and drink, of the 5-year old birthday variety; Perhaps followed up/preceeded by a Movie/TV viewing at some lovely and generous Silverdalite's house? Have my people call your people. BYOBBQ, natch.
I have no clue what time it is, though. Some time at 6:00 or 6:30, AM or PM I don't know. Either M sounds ridiculus. I really hope it's the later one, but if it's the earlier time there'd be more time for festivities, no? JNSP.
Bonus Points if you can tell me what movie the name of my post refers to. I looove Free On Demand movies. Extra, extra points if you tell me it's sort of brilliant, verging on canonization.
