we got all night

Today was a great day. Got up and hopped straight onto the computer and stayed there. Caught up on TV, then started a blip.fm because I wasn't annoying enough on Facebook, blipped every now and then and listened to other songs on there. Then I got the brilliant idea to take out all my old Now That's What I Call Music CDs and mix CDs I made back in high school for people I had crushes on, and listened to them all. Good times, let me tell you. I like that even back then I wasn't as mushy as a teenager should be. The mixes from freshmen year were a little on the pop side (Nobody's Angels, soulDecision), but otherwise my music tastes haven't changed too much. Hysterical. Then I made plans for the rest of this week.

And then I missed The Good Guys by ten minutes. :/ But I'll catch it tomorrow.

Today was a beautiful day. I went with my mom, sister and nephew to go see Diary of a Wimpy Kid and I forgot why, but there was an awkward silence in the car. So I just focused on the people walking on the sidewalks as we drove. I used to do that so much when I was younger-- just watch people and wonder what their day was like: did they just have a bad argument with someone, did they remember to feed their dog last night, where were they off to looking so lost in thought or walking so sadly... I remember my freshmen English teacher telling us that was one of the things about growing up-- you stop noticing the clouds and when the seasons change, you lose contact with people you thought were your best friends in high school, etc. I'd like to think I still spend time watching the "wildlife" or the clouds but I've kind of lost contact with humans. It's odd. Back then I figured that would be the last thing to go.

Wow. ANYWAY. The movie was good, but it left out a few of my favorite parts of the book, and my nephew was clearly bummed that it didn't follow it exactly (lol I don't think he's ever read a book before seeing the adaptation). Tomorrow we're supposed to go see How to Train Your Dragon and I think my sister said Kick-Ass might be Saturday, but IDK. I want to see She's Out Of My League by Thursday though, because after that I know I might as well give up on it. And I refuse to not see a Nate Torrence movie in theatres (I haven't gotten around to seeing that one with Dane Cook and Jason Biggs but shhhhh).

Someone needs to tell me where is a good site to make playlists you can then listen back, because once you make it on last.fm you can't listen to them and projectplaylist.com doesn't have that expansive of a catalogue.

P.S. What was everyone's favorite pranks today? I haven't gotten tricked in ages, but I do enjoy how the websites change on us. I think YouTube's was better last year, and Google is losing their touch, but I liked FunnyorDie.com and XKCD.com. And on Twitter, the psychwrites account changed to mentalistwrites and started posting things like "did you spot the papaya in the last episode?" XD I LOVE THOSE GUYS SO MUCH.

Friday was awesome. I just watched TV all day, which I really needed. If I can look forward to a day like that every two weeks I think I can make it through this year.

Yesterday I watched some OnDemand with my dad and we threw around some Lost theories, but then we were interrupted by the Olympics so I forgot if we decided anything cool.

Really, I just enjoy waking up at noon or later on the weekends because I have to be up so much earlier the rest of the week.

I can't find a copy of Important Things small enough to run on my computer so I'll just wait until it pops up on OnDemand (...whenever THAT is...). But this last episode of Archer was hysterical. I don't think anyone reading this is watching that show, but if I was going to recommend an episode, it'd be that one.

Haha, I forgot I'm in school now so I have to go to bed now. So... TV thoughts.

I don't know what just happened in Brothers & Sisters. I don't really care.

This has broken my brain. Is he for real for real? Are they? I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE.

Also, there was this exchange:

psych_usa (Seriously? Can someone else please answer this... lol )RT @wineclubguy: No Christmas episode this year?
@psych_usa not for nothing but all usa gave us for christmas this year was a bittersweet monk finale and a crazy white collar cliffhanger :(
@boheme06 Well that certainly didn't sound bitter at all... LOL

I TAKE MY CHRISTMAS PSYCH SERIOUSLY, OKAY. :(

Anyway, my mom came home today with this 3 foot "stunner" of a (fake) tree and decorated it just now. So we have a tree? I go in and out of feeling festive, so I'm not "FINALLY!" I tried listening to Christmas music and it worked for a day and then the feeling went away. Christmas is next week and I'm not excited or giddy, just "Oh, yes, that's happening." I'm more excited for my birthday in January, even though I won't be doing anything. I'm starting to like the feeling of "leveling up" as it were, so that's why.

Actually, the only festive-like things I'm enjoying right now are the 12 Days of Christmas going on at capslock_spn and Markshakkah at mishaland.

I realized I hadn't mentioned anything about TV on Monday, but HIMYM was being completely filler (and what's with that lately?) and Accidentally on Purpose was being funny yet still struggling. The real winner was The Big Bang Theory, so I'll cut those thoughts.

Poseur Ink. I spent my morning on this site catching up on their webcomics. I don't have anything else to pimp...

I woke up at 10am this morning on my own, after a night of the most shallow sleep ever. I was in a fog most of the day, so my plans to watch a few movies before I go to sleep may not be the best choice for tonight. But I will try it anyway!

I have downloaded three different links to Big Bang Theory and none have worked or converted correctly so FU, internet overlords, I will watch it whenever I find a streaming version. Back to Professor Layton, wooooo.

My plans to see The Final Destination in theatres keep falling through. I never saw the first one until DVD and my plans to see the second and third in theatres fell through until I missed my chance. Taking Woodstock is already out of theatres, too and I was dying to see that when it first teased during Important Things earlier this year. But seeing a Final Destination movie in the theatres is just not in the cards for me. I JUST WANT TO SEE ONE OF THEM IN ACTUAL THEATRES. IS THAT SO HARD. I DON'T EVEN CARE FOR THE 3D. ZOMG. UGH.

There's other things to talk about, but right now I just want to zone out in Hyrule and collect Poe souls. So here's some reviews while I go do that.

I HAVE BEEN AWAKE SINCE THURSDAY AT 4PM. IF I DON'T SLEEP TONIGHT I WILL GO INSANE. I guess I've been home too long. I need to actually use the energy I'm gaining at night so I can actually get back on schedule. Maybe tomorrow, I need to do a few things and there's movies to be seen downtown.

Oh, by the way-- I made it back in July, but I spent a good while on Wednesday cleaning it up for the premiere. So I now declare boredtodeath_tv officially open, for those interested. I'm not sure if it looks okay in IE because I only have IE 4.0 and it looks busted there. But hopefully it works in later versions.

I love when my favorite podcasters reblog my friends on Tumblr. I also like getting replies on Twitter from Heather Stewart, but that's old (yet amazing) news.

I saw Fight Club for the first time the other day. I had been spoiled by VH1 for the ending a while ago and tried to forget it but I couldn't. I can't say anything about that hasn't been said, really, but I like how Tyler kept flashing in the background and foreground of different scenes before the narrator met him. And then I saw Inglourious Basterds tonight, but I'm still processing how I felt about it (aka where it falls on my list of favorite Quentin movies). However, Eli Roth has mesmerized me and even though I have no desire to see Hostel, I just may watch Cabin Fever again (I love that movie). >.>

I also read Nick & Nora's Infinite Playlist yesterday and it's a great book but nowhere near deserving the great movie they made from it. I just want to re-watch the movie (and tomorrow it's the movie of the day on movieoftheday on Tumblr! kasadsjakfhdadsaf). But first I want to finish reading A Brave New World because this book is AMAZING and I really wish I'd read this instead of like, Catcher in the Rye in high school. Although I can see why they didn't put this one on our list.

P.S. I keep watching HBO in between the movies just to see the Bored to Death promos. It's a problem.
