Also, if anyone can get me an Alex Goot of my own, that'd be great

I've been meaning to make an entry for a while. Can't remember what my proposed topics were.

I did want to showcase some youtube videos I adored lately. If you're friends with me on Facebook (you should be, if you aren't), you've probably seen the posts that go through when I like or favorite a YT vid.

( Youtube videos under here )

Anyone have any suggestions for digital cameras? I'm not buying one anytime soon but I really am due for an upgrade and DSLR cameras are still quite out of my price range. I would look at reviews but other than brand loyalty I wouldn't know where to start.

Also, I am just realizing that Rock Band 3 is out, and while I got over the fascination of the rhythm games, I DO WANT THE PRO EXPERIENCE so I'm looking into saving up for that game, too. Also I hear the customization is killer on the create-a-character thing, so that's always fun. *forever a Sims girl*

ARGH ENTOURAGE ENDS TONIGHT AND I CAN'T LEAVE THIS UNTIL AFTER CHICAGO. BRB DOWNLOADING THIS ENTIRE SEASON.

Microblogging is awesome, but so are comics and video games. Oh, and fandom sometimes too

Twitter has finally taken over my life. I knew it would, eventually but I charged up my PSP today just to check it. I hadn't even checked LJ yet. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME.

A week ago Leterrier was all but confirming Cap's appearance on AOTS. And now this. FAIL, whomever's involved. Still, I AM EXCITED FOR FRIDAY, OMG. For someone who was never really a Hulk fan in the slightest, I'm really excited. The Ultimates Bruce is so much more a pathetic Jekyll & Hyde story than the original Bruce-infused-with-gamma-rays that I think it makes for better drama. Although the logic behind the whole replicating-the-serum-while-still-battling-the-original-Hulk-effects is lost on me.

( And now I go into comic book geek mode, where I explain EVERYONE SHOULD TRY READING Y: THE LAST MAN and talk about The Surrogates and Watchmen )

I finished the Lego Indiana Jones storyline and omg, that last level in Crusade was so annoying and hard that I didn't even care about the True Adventurer status anymore. Now just to play free play (with my custom characters, bwahaha) and collect everything else! I want the guest characters, especially. Luke and R2-D2 really, but Han Solo just sounds redundant. :/

And speaking of games, I recently tried the demo of Cooking Mama 2 on the Wii's Nintendo Channel and thought it wasn't as bad as it sounded. I still can't help but find the whole idea of the game really demeaning, but it's actually somewhat addicting. My competitive nature also does not jibe well with it. It keeps giving me silver medals and a score in the 90s. WTF. And I love when it says "That came out so well!" and then gives me a bronze and a score of 50. Really? But it is semi-informative. I never knew that both beef and pork were in meat-loaf. And I never want to deal with fish in real life. The de-scaling and filleting tasks gross me out. And this is a cartoon! I also find the Japanese accent really annoying (and the PeggySims2 menu style is ghastly). Maybe that's just me being an arrogant American, but I feel that if they're going to localize it, at least get someone audible. "Terrific, even better than Mama!" should not sound like "Ter-fic! Emo butter than Mamah!"

Okay, I gave up on SPN so I'm not as mad as I was when I had my idea for a SPN video set to Christina Aguilera's "Hurt"... and then another video came out right as I was ripping the clips for it. But there's two versions of the Sammy song on YouTube now. You know what? I still have the Spencer song, so I'll just go along with that one-- without the music and I'll be happy. Psych needs the viral fandom love and I need to get back to all those stalled videos and fics I have in my WIP folders, anyway. This Psych video is oodles of fun though. UGH, FOR IT TO BE JULY!

IN OTHER TV NEWS, TOMORROW IS THE SECOND SEASON OF MY BOYS, HURRAH HURRAH. And there's an awesome picspam and quotespam here that illustrates why these characters are so awesome. READ IT.

Damn. This is ubër-long. My bad.

P.S. Someone please tell my ears to work correctly. I keep hearing music blasting from my headphones and I think a video started on some tab, only to put the headphones back on and hear nothing. Also, I just heard my dad sneeze and he's not home yet. O.o

You put eerie and you put zombie in the title and I don't want to do it!

So last night I had this dream where Diggnation was live in the Irish Rogue and somehow James Roday was there. What. I don't know either. It was one of those flash-in-the-pan dreams, but I remember Alex and Kevin sitting near the windows in the corner of the room, James Roday in a teal polo (wtf?) and me wearing a Systm shirt. Now, if I could remember what beer they were drinking, I'd go stock up and buy a Systm shirt just to make it come true. How do they go from California to Japan and London and not NY? And no one knows what the hell I'm talking about. Moving on.

You know what? I think besides James Roday, Kevin Rose is the best well-rounded guy in my opinion. Yeah, that makes sense. Now, if Roday was a Mac geek or Kevin wrote a book then maybe they'd be competing more roughly. But right now they're kinda in different pools of love or what have you. SORRY, REALLY MOVING ON NOW.

I love mashups, man. I think the first one I heard was "The Real Slim Shady" to the backing track of "Oops! I Did It Again!" But this one? BOGGLES MY MIND. Because they actually altered the woman on "In The Closet" to sort of sound like Britney. Insanity. And skills. But mostly me being impressed and jealous. There's also this one, but as much as AC/DC kicks ass I like both songs separate.

And even though I don't own an iPhone, I would really like if Shapeshifter would WORK WITH ME so I can turn my computer into a iPhone rip-off, like I'm planning to do with my cell.

Psych, I don't want you to leave meeeeeeeee. *sobs* But it's on. Watch it, y'all.

Hiatus Endus and memes!

So officially, I am back. I got a lot done; regained a bunch of my sanity. Sadly, I'll be losing some of you here, but I will keep in touch wherever you guys do end up. I myself am not leaving. Livejournal and I have not been at major odds and I have been dealt with worse by other journaling sites.

Some links:
LJ Add-ons. I'm sure most of you Firefox users know about this, and if you don't, then you should. It's a great asset. A bit addictive when first installed, but you get used to it.
Sexy Snape. I know I'm late to this, but I was hysterical watching it again last night. Right Said Fred is such a staple of early MTV. I miss my good!MTV. And the random Lockhart is hysterical. I'm going to go rip the songs from the Potter Puppet Pals now, if anyone wants any, let me know.

( Memes )

Anyone up for a friending meme? I was thinking of starting one tomorrow, but now I don't know... with all the fuss over LJ.

Does anyone use GoDaddy? I'm thinking of upgrading to a domain of my own (I need PHP desperately) and I want to base my decisions on something over than Kevin and Alex's fanboying, even as much as I adore them.

I don't think I'm going to bother with Monk anymore. It kind of lost itself for me. But there's still Psych. I need to go "manage" my icons. Because apparently userpics can be unruly.
