Giant squids, blobs and islands

I didn't post on Saturday but it was James Roday's birthday. I usually make a picspam, but the man himself joined Twitter last week, so I just tweeted him a birthday wish. I kinda feel bad breaking a tradition, but it's a picspam, not a holiday parade. Also, it may not exactly be Jason Schwartzman (it's allegedly him and two staffers at Young Baby Records, although I wasn't aware they had staff), but @CoconutRecrds is on Twitter, so that's something.
I realize that there's a bit of a Twitter backlash lately and I realize that it might be because of the LoudTwitter posts. I know how annoying those can be, since I'm on Twitter and don't feel like reading everything twice. I usually skip the LoudTwitter posts, but it still takes up space on my flist. So for those Firefox users tired of those posts, I wanna point you to a Greasemonkey script called LJ-Twitterless. It doesn't get all of them, at least not for me. But it helps.
I saw Monster Vs. Aliens this weekend, and everyone in the house keeps quoting B.O.B.'s lines. :D I want an animated icon of B.O.B. with the jello at the end but I have no idea where to get caps or an icon. Coincidentally, I'm now in a Seth Rogen phase now, so I decided that this first week of spring break (it starts Wednesday and goes until the 20th) will be about the Apatow crew and finally watching all of Freaks & Geeks and Undeclared and then watching The Spiderwick Chronicles and Horton Hears A Who for Seth's V.O.s. :) Next week will be wrapping up Mad Men, Touching Evil, and starting either Queer As Folk or Friday Night Lights.
It turns out that I don't have much to say about TV. The only thing that pissed me off about Big Bang Theory was that Sheldon implied Ackbar was a giant squid. He's a Mon Calamari and Sheldon would know that. And he wouldn't care that Penny didn't, and try to water it down for her. >:|
Also on HIMYM, it took me the whole episode to understand that the laser tag guy was supposed to be a spoof of the tough-cop-guy. And I really, really need to see the Lethal Weapon series, now. I also love that Barney's rave costume had a tie. ONLY BARNEY.
I haven't even gotten around to re-watching Lost. BUT THE GAME, HAHA OMG. I got Via Domus because it was the cheapest game they had that I wanted at Toys R' Us, even if it was bad. The first moment you see Michael, I was like, "Hey, I'm going to ask him about Walt." So I walk up to him and click the button and he immediately goes, "I can't find my boy. Waaaaalllttt!" I about died laughing. The acting is okay, it just doesn't go with the stunted animations worthy of early PS2 games, so everything sounds like... the Resident Evil 1 school of acting. Or Iron Man. "TONY! MEN! WITH GUNS! OUTSIDEEE." "STAY. INSIDE! PEPPER." lolol, licensed games will never not be funny. I still want Watchmen: The End Is Nigh, Rorschach's rage burst and all. Don't judge me.

Date: 2009-04-13 06:32 pm (UTC)OKAY SO FIRST MY TEACHER'S LIKE, "PAPERS DUE NEXT WEDNESDAY, INSTEAD!!", WHICH, HUZZAH, BECAUSE I CAN DO THAT ON MONDAY OR SOMETHING IF I ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO.
AND THEN I LOOKED ONLINE, AND APPARENTLY GUESTS CAN COME TO FLING, BUT A PENN STUDENT HAS TO REGISTER FOR A GUEST PASS THAT COSTS $20.
SO THEN I TEXTED ALISON AND RAN IT BY HER, AND SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T KNOW ABT THE COST, BUT THE PASS IS JUST FOR THE QUAD (WHICH IS THIS ONE AREA OF DORMS, BUT ALSO HAS THIS HUUUUGE OPEN SPACE) WHICH I GUESS IS WHERE THERE'LL BE SOME BANDS AND OTHER CARNIVAL-TYPE THINGS, IDEK. BUT, I MEAN, THE REST OF THE CAMPUS IS FREE...?? SO, WELL, WE CAN GET PASSES - I THINK A COUPLE OF OUR OTHER NON-PENN FRIENDS ARE COMING, TOO, AND EACH PENN STUDENT CAN ONLY REGISTER FOR 2 GUEST PASSES EACH, BUT, I MEAN, I KNOW ENOUGH PENN KIDS TO FIND SOMEONE TO GET US IN. OTHERWISE, WE CAN JUST GALLIVANT AROUND THE REST OF CAMPUS, AND, IDK, MAYBE SOMEONE CAN GO IN AND BUY US SOME FRIED OREOS, OR SOMETHING, IF YOU REALLY WANT.
SOOOOO IN SHORT, I STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON!! AND I HAVE TO RUN TO CLASS NOW, BUT AFTER CLASS I'M GOING TO CALL ALISON, AND WE'LL WORK THIS SHIT OUT. AND THEN I WILL LET YOU KNOOOOWW!!
......YOU SHOULD PROBZ ALSO TELL ME IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH SOME DAY OR STAYING OVERNIGHT OR - IDK, ANYTHING IN GENERAL. BECAUSE THAAAAT WOULD BE IMPORTANT.

Date: 2009-04-13 08:24 pm (UTC)SO BASICALLY, YOU NEED TO TELL ME TWO THINGS, MY FRIEND. ONE, HOW LONG CAN/DO YOU WANT TO STAY HERE FOR, AND TWO (IF YOUR ANSWER TO ONE INCLUDES SATURDAY), DO YOU WANT TO GO TO FLING??
...AND THEN, I MEAN, YOU CAN TELL ME OTHER THINGS TOO, IF YOU WANT. BUT THESE FOR SURE, AND THEN I CAN MAYBE ACTUALLY FIGURE OUT SOME SORT OF PLAN (&TELL ALISON, BECAUSE THE LAST DATE TO REGISTER FOR FLING GUEST PASSES IS WEDNESDAY, I THINK).
no subject
Date: 2009-04-14 04:59 am (UTC)ALTHOUGH HOW LONG I'M STAYING, IDK. I HAVE TO RUN IT BY THE 'RENTS FIRST, IN CASE THERE WERE SECRET PLANS MADE THAT REQUIRED MY STAYING AT HOME ONE DAY. BUT UM, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, THEN, TILL.... I'LL BE BACK TOMORROW TO LET YOU KNOW!
...WAIT, HOW LONG IS FLING? BECAUSE IF IT'S AT NIGHT ONLY, NARNIA BY MORNING, FLING BY NIGHT (UNLESS WE GO FRIDAY NIGHT, THEN I CAN LEAVE SATURDAY NIGHT?), I LEAVE EARLIEST POSSIBLE SUNDAY MORNING = YOU GETTING AT LEAST THREE DAYS (SORTA, MINUS CLASS TIME) FOR YOUR PAPER??
no subject
Date: 2009-04-14 05:22 am (UTC)BUT I THINK THE MAIN PEOPLE PLAYING ARE AKON AND GUSTER?? IDK WHAT DAY, THOUGH. AND THEN OTHERWISE IT'S JUST, LIKE, STUDENT BANDS OR WHATEVER, I GUESS. BUT MAINLY IT'LL PROBZ JUST BE US ALL RUNNING AROUND LIKE IDIOTS, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THIS KIND OF STUFF ALWAYS TURNS INTO. ALSO THERE'LL BE A LOT OF DRUNKY STUDENTS, BUT, I MEAN, IT'S COLLEGE. SO IT IS THE $20?? BUT IT'LL MOST LIKELY AT LEAST BE AN EXPERIENCE. ALISON SAID IT'S NOT REALLY SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO SPEND THE ENTIRE DAY TO EXPERIENCE, BUT HER ROOMMATES WERE INSISTING YOU AT LEAST CAN, SOOOO.
FLING'S DURING THE DAYS, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. ALISON SAID STUFF SHOULD BE WRAPPING UP BY 7. SOOOO THE FRANKLIN INSTITUTE'S OPEN 'TIL 8, APPARENTLY?? OH, OKAY, SO MAYBE, DEPENDING ON WHEN YOU GET HERE FRIDAY, WE CAN NARNIA ON FRIDAY, AND THEN FLING/WHATEVER ELSE SATURDAY. AND THEN IF YOU STAY SATURDAY, WE CAN...IDK, DO SOMETHING AWESOME THAT NIGHT, I HAVEN'T FIGURED THAT MUCH OUT YET (OR...GO TO FRAT PARTIES. WHICH, I MEAN, ARE GENERALLY NOT SUPER AWESOME, IMO).
ALTERNATELY, I MEAN, WE CAN DO NARNIA LATER ON SATURDAY, BUT WE'D HAVE TO CUT OUT OF FLING EARLY, BECAUSE I DON'T REALLY FANCY SUBWAYING IT UP MUCH LATER THAN I HAVE TO, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I'VE NEVER ACTUALLY GONE TO THE FRANKLIN BY SUBWAY AAAAND SO ONLY KIIIIND OF KNOW WHAT I'M DOING. WHICH...I MEAN, WE COULD DO. JUST SAYING.
OR, I MEAN, WHATEVER!! DO YOU HAVE OTHER PHILLY THINGS YOU WANT TO DO (NO LICKING THE LIBERTY BELL, THOUGH, OKAY)?? WHAT WE DO IS TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON WHAT YOU WANT TO DO!! ALSO, DUDE, YOU'RE TOOOOOOOOTALLY WELCOME TO STAY AS LONG AS YOU LIKE. I MEAN, HELL, YOU CAN STAY THE WEEK IF YOU WANT, JUST - KNOW THAT I'MA HAVE TO PAPER IT UP AT SOME POINT (AND THEN, LIKE, GO TO CLASS AND ALL, I MEAN).

Date: 2009-04-15 02:30 am (UTC)HAHAHA FRAT PARTIES. THAT JUST MAKES ME THINK OF THAT ONE DELETED SCENE IN TENACIOUS D WITH COLIN HANKS AND JASON SEGEL. :DDD BUT I'VE NEVER BEEN TO ONE OF THOSE (OBVIOUSLY) SO THAT'S BE INTERESTING, AT LEAST FOR AN AMOUNT OF TIME. AND YEAH, NOT A BIG FAN OF LATE NIGHT SUBWAYS MYSELF!
I, UHHH, NOT REALLY? IDK, WHAT IS THERE TO DO? ALL I KNOW IS THE LIBERTY BELL (LULZ, OR THAT MUSEUM FROM ROCKY, BUT THAT'S PRETTY DORKY). AND IDK WHAT THE PAPER IS, BUT I CAN ALWAYS HELP WITH THAT EVEN IF IT'S LIKE PROOFREADING OR FINDING SHIT ONLINE FOR YA! ALTHOUGH I'LL PROBABLY COME HOME SUNDAY AT THE LATEST, JUST BECAUSE MONDAY IS LIKE MY "RELAX BEFORE SCHOOL ALLLL DAY TUESDAY!!!" DAY.

Date: 2009-04-16 11:32 pm (UTC)HAH, THE ART MUSEUM'S PRETTY BITCHIN, THOUGH, NOT GONNA LIE!! AND DUDE, EVEN PEOPLE FROM PHILLY DO THE RUN UP THE STEPS - IT'S LIKE, YOU CAN'T NOT. :D
AND MY PAPER'S FOR MY SHAKESPEARE CLASS, A CLOSE READING OF SOME PASSAGE I HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED THINKING ABOUT PICKING YET. BUT ONLY 4 PAGES, SO I'LL BE GOOD!

Date: 2009-04-17 01:51 am (UTC)AND I AM SO EXCITEDDDD. I MIGHT WAKE UP EARLIER AND JUST RE-CHECK MY BAG OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
