we got all night

More things:

- Diggnation is ending in December. I know most don't care, but I posted most of my thoughts via Twitter yesterday. I'm behind by almost a year, but I'm glad there were more episodes. It was supposed to end last December and when it didn't, I was glad. They probably won't come back to NYC, but I'm glad they at least made it here--they always talked about doing tours, college or otherwise, around the US/world and never did. I'm much more okay with it ending now than I was when they announced last year that they were going to stop soon. And with that chapter of their lives closing, so does mine. It's time for me to move on and maybe be more of a producer of entertainment and not so much a consumer.

- To that end, my fall schedule isn't much. Right now I'm just downloading all the aired episodes of new stuff to see if I like them but I'm not keeping up with a lot of my old shows. It's weird, but the only ones I'm keeping are It's Always Sunny, Archer, and Modern Family. Well, I'm keeping others that don't really adhere to summer/fall seasons too, like Leverage and my USA shows (not Psych, though, I've finally given up on that one). But I'm testing out 2 Broke Girls, Whitney, Person of Interest, Revenge, Suburgatory and Once Upon A Time. I was going to watch Playboy's Club but it's already canceled so TROLOLOL MAKE MY LIFE EASIER. Hopefully I'll have time to watch them all on Friday!

- Alex Goot is my herrooooo. I don't think I knew he covered this song, but STARS IN MY EYES FOREVER, GOOT. <33333 (Youtube is being weird, so you only get a link. :/ )

Totally forgot all about the bonus Jonas (see what I did there?) episode on Sunday. I love how they're bringing Frankie and Big Rob into the show too. lulz, wtf, Disney.

( How I Met Your Mother )

As for Dancing with the Stars, I disagree with the results. But by fall I'll forget who won anyway, so it doesn't matter. There's been many seasons where people were robbed on this show, anyway. Nothing new.

( My Boys )

After tomorrow I'm done with school, and it usually takes me about two weeks to get used to not having to wake up, not having papers to do, not being free on certain days.

P.S. Diggnation's coming back to NYC in June. Alex tweeted about it, but didn't give details. Tease. I'm 70% sure it's for the Webbys again, but I reaaallly hope the TRS boys get to come along again, because maybe this time they'll do a live show. All I'll say is that a picspam may be in order when more details are released. *EEEEEEEE*

I just downloaded every episode of his podcast on Liam Lynch's website because I need to bask in his awesomeness. I hate Alex Albrecht for knowing such amazing people (he also knows Felicia Day). Anyway, the folder of episodes takes up 6GB on my computer that I kinda need for it to run correctly so I'll get to those episodes right after I watch Diggnation.

BTW, Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny is my favorite (or pretty darn close to it) musical now. WHAT UP.

I got my layout to work, and finished the headers. Yay.

Psych was fun. Yay for Buzz. Love Jeff Fahey (LAPIDUS!). IDK about the ending. This season is odd.

P.S. I want to change my username. Why so broke?

Last night I was out of my mind with boredom. I think my instant gratification disease is attacking again. There's so many things I want to do but all of them take more time than I'm willing to spend on a single thing. I want entertainment right here, right now. Eventually I gave up just wasting time and ended up-- at 4am, mind you-- making a background for Twitter, re-doing my LJ layout and staring at my Twitter pic wondering whether I should change it, too. I had a few dreams but they're all jumbled right now since everyone kept waking me up about every five minutes and I don't know which dream was which.

Something is wrong with the world when Downey and Hugh Jackman receive stars on the Walk of Fame in the same year. I don't know what the criteria is, but is Hugh Jackman really that deserving so soon? As far as I can tell he's only been around since 2000. I awww'd about Macy and Huffman getting stars the same year. And lol @ Tinkerbell and the Village People.

I don't know why I was so late to the party but this (seemingly) dead fic-a-thon is pretty interesting to go through. I feel odd with films like Zodiac, Good Night, Good Luck and Fur which are about real people. You'd think it'd be like RPF and that it wouldn't be weird to me because I don't mind RPF, but just the idea of there being fics about these movies is weirding me out. Especially Fur since that in itself was an AU fanfic on celluloid. I wonder how Arbus's family feels about that movie. My views on fan fiction have changed lately, anyway. I'm more interested in anything that's not slash. And my flist being what it is, that is very hard to find! Not that I'm frustrated by it, it's just an amusing fact.

Now that I'm reminded of other creepy subject matter, I was having a conversation with my dad the other day about the CGI in The Incredible Hulk and I mentioned the uncanny valley and had to explain the theory to him. We started talking about how it's creepy when animals show signs of intelligence like when you go to the zoo and the gorillas wave or wink at you or when you're trying to squash a roach and it plays dead so you leave it alone. And I figure that the reason humans find humanoid robots and animals so creepy is because we have a superiority complex. Dad mentioned this Nat Geo program we watched in March about how gorillas have faster memory than humans and I said that that's not creepy because we assume it's a necessary skill for whatever they do in the wild. Kind of how squirrels always remember where they put their nuts but I can't remember my password for GMail when my notifier conks out on me. It's the same way we are amazed and not scared by birds or platypi. But when animals show signs of genius at human levels-- like the roach that tried hiding under a glass container so I wouldn't send him to his maker-- it's weird because we think, "Wait, we're supposed to be the ultimate beings here, not you. How does a mouse, a simple rodent outsmart me, a human!" And I think that's part of the reason why that beach scene in Planet of the Apes is so scary because it's like evolution denied us what we're supposed to be. Does that make sense?

Anyway, My Boys is about to start, I need to load up The Sims 2 and I'm looking into other simulation/strategy games. I'm thinking about getting Black & White or the latest Civilization since I loved the demo so much on my old computer. There also needs to be a new bar-tending simulator. I missed my chance to own Last Call back then as well. Anyone play any of these god games? I really want Spore as well, but that's not shocking news.

I may be the only person who has broken her knee (not really but it's not functioning correctly) by sitting at a computer all day. I usually sit with one leg tucked under me for hours on end. So today I went to stand and just fell immediately because it wouldn't bend. It was hi-larious.

Enough about me. Supernatural starts tomorrow! 24 then is this Sunday and next week is Psych. I am shaking! Not because I'm cold, which I am, but I'm excited too.


splits_thesky, I may say "dude" a lot, but these two fuel the fire much more than just Shawn from Psych. Diggnation DUDE.


Also, how does one go about creating a feed for a site? There's a few sites I need to track on my LJ and I have no idea how to do it. *is lost*
