1. Wow, I totes failed at writing up my recap of the House season premiere yesterday - I was GOING to, and had gone and trawled through pages of TWOP fanwank in preparation (just to see if I was alone in thinking what I did about the episode), and then I FELL DEAD ASLEEP. Nice. So I'm a little less impassioned about it right now, which would make for less bitchery - yay for you if you click on the cut! ( apparently I'm in the minority here? )

2. I really really REALLY would freakin' kill to be at the Signature Theatre at any point over the next few days. The Kander & Ebb concert going on down there featuring Ms Murney is actual five million kinds of awesome and it hurts me to think I can't see it for myself. God. That said, another interview with Julia popped up, and I have this to say to what she has to say:

My favorite show is probably Chicago because I did it at camp as a kid (very appropriate for kids), and then again in college, and I harbor a secret desire to try to tackle Velma in NYC.

OH HOLY GOD YES PLZ. SDFLJLFHLASDFLAHDASDA. I have said, FOREVER, that Julia is my dream Velma; if only I could ever see that happen I would die happy, probably. It was really nice to know it's on HER radar too. ;)

3. And really I should sleep. Apparently this was just an explosion of ranty words. Sigh.

1. Okay, so anyone who's even vaguely a Julia fan has already been digging through her newly functional official site (seriously it has been 'under construction' for 100 years, give or take a decade), but whatever, I felt the need to squee about the photo gallery. The rest of the site is pretty standard stuff - albeit very nicely done and very comprehensive (it's so GOOD to see a gorgeous, up-to-date site for Julia!!) - but the GALLERY, OMG FAVOURITE. Aside from the fact that there are tons of photos that are completely new to me, DID YOU GUYS GO THROUGH EACH PIC AND READ THE CAPTIONS? So snarky and so clearly in Julia's voice, OMG I LOVED THEM. ♥ ♥ ♥ Honestly they made me lol. My particular favourites... ( under the cut ) So yeah, I think I'm making icons at some point soon... XD

2. Wow, it feels like AGES since I've flailed over Julia. As timeofyoursong pointed out... :P I still love her, I do - I went back and listened to Julia singing Life Of The Party again the other day, and holy crap, she might not hit that crazy high note Idina does, but wtf are those riffs of awesome she's tossing about, I don't even know.

3. I'm eating bite-size Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies at 1am. Be jealous.

4. Today was movie day!! :D I'm trying to get caught up now on the movies that opened while I was away in Aspen, and saw:

a. Bruno, which was really not as funny OR as good as Borat - it just felt way more scripted/contrived and I didn't care for it as much. Not that there weren't moments of inspired insanity: Paula Abdul's appearance was GOLD, as was Bruno's reference to Mel Gibson (LOLOLOL LOVE). Other favourite bits remain the ones that riff on politics: his attempts to fix the problems in the Middle East were HILARIOUS. Otherwise, not as good as I was expecting/hoping for. OH WAIT I LOVED THE MUSIC VIDEO THAT CLOSED THE MOVIE. OMG the guest stars of WIN ahahaha!!!

b. The Proposal: excuse me what is this supernova level of hotness that Ryan Reynolds is radiating. Really now. I'm not going to pretend he wasn't the main draw - I invited my friend to the show by proposing "dinner and Ryan Reynolds" - but I thought it'd be a fun night out, since everyone seems to have really liked the film, plus the cast! Sandra Bullock! Who's ALWAYS fun in shows like this and really should just never try to move beyond her comfort zone because that way lies disaster. Betty White, Mary Steenburgen etc... And YAY I LOVED IT. Beyond getting to appreciate Ryan's really sexy ripped body adorkability, the movie really was one of the best examples of the genre in recent years. Not that it had all THAT much competition - I was trying to think back to the last rom-com that had me raving when I emerged from the theatre, and it was Definitely, Maybe (also with Ryan - how strange and coincidental!!)... and I wouldn't even call that film a rom-com per se. So The Proposal is, like, the first proper rom-com in ages that I've really LOVED. I just liked the sparky, RIDICULOUSLY antagonistic banter between Ryan and Sandra's characters so much - omg, when the tables were turned and she needed his help? And he MADE HER PROPOSE on the streets of New York? EFF, LOVE FOREVER.

5. The only thing that would've helped me enjoy the show MORE? Being able to hear. I'm still suffering from a nasty NASTY case of waxy build-up in my right ear, so am half deaf and have been experiencing tinnitus for the better part of three days. Yuck. FAIL FOR ALWAYS.

6. One last thing before I go to bed - I'm trying to be responsible and turn in early (for me) so I can do real work tomorrow - I need to flail over my LUNCH today. HY suggested we go to this AWESOME sushi place in town, and I looooooooved it. OMG, I got the chirashi set, which came in a bento box that really didn't look like much. I hadn't thought it'd be enough food for me... but really I couldn't even finish it, because the raw fish (so fresh) was packed down and there was so much awesome with the preserved vegetables and tamago and ♥! Not to mention unagi chawanmushi and clams in the miso soup, plus aburi softshell crab maki AND hotate mentaiyaki to share!!! LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE. I need to go back. Everyday. Om nom nom nom.

1. URM. FOUR DAYS. Just four days more, guys - this time, in four days, I will literally be boarding the plane for Qatar New York. OMG. I can't... even BEGIN to process this, it doesn't feel real at ALL. I mean, I have tickets for most of my first week of shows, and at least half of the second week, and I've been planning this for a while. STILL. NOT GOING TO BELIEVE IT, as usual, until I'm actually THERE.

2. In other news, longest, laziest weekend I've had in AGES. We had a full three days off thanks to Labour Day (May 1) falling on a Friday. I had SOME grand plans of catching up on tv (god knows my flist is going to explode when the next House episode airs, and I am FIVE MONTHS BEHIND), or do something a little more productive... and yet, I spent most of it asleep and being lazy. Truth be told, I actually kind of like the sound of that. XD

3. Friday was family day - lunch out for my brother's birthday, at a fancy Chinese restaurant where basically we proved that, genetically, we all have a song playing in our heads at any given moment. Seriously we all just kept... humming out loud during the meal, while scoffing down epic amounts of beef and cod and god knows what else. I came home and napped after that, as I had gone to bed at some ridiculous hour of the morning, and then out for dinner to my aunt's place again. She's doing better after her second round of chemo, not having quite as bad a reaction to it as the first round, so ♥. Then I came home and... spent the entire night flailing at weazel_luv over Wonderettes. GOD KNOWS WHY. (I AM SEEING IT WITHIN THE WEEK, GUYS. ASFHALFHLSDHFLSDHFLSD.)

4. Saturday: I had plans to go for yoga, which were completely thwarted when I got up at 3.30pm (sigh). Instead, I watched X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which I actually REALLY liked. I know it's been critically savaged, for the most part, but I loooved it. Turns out I'm just a huge X-Men/Marvel fandork, I guess, because I just... had the best time settling back into that universe, watching all the characters I love pop up in flesh, blood and celluloid, and... it was just FUN. (I also loved X3: The Last Stand, so yeah, I really am just a huge nerd with really poor taste in movies. I'm not apologising though, these movies make me happy!) I am a sucker, apparently, even for not-entirely-well-wrought romance, and bought into the Silver Fox thing by the end. URGH, ME. No spoilers, however. Let us, for a minute, discuss the masculine pulchritude on display in that movie. ZOMG HUGH. JACKMAN. When I saw the trailer, I KNEW the movie could have been an absolutely god-awful pile of steaming manure and I'd have loved it anyway just because Hugh gets to run all over the screen being sexy and hot and growly omg omg. And that he did, in epic amounts. What surprised me is that I also found Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool ridiculously sexy. SHUT UP. In his six minutes of screen-time, he didn't even bare these, but I was still done. OMG HOTNESS. Now I have to go watch Definitely, Maybe again. I did NOT, however, like whoever played Gambit. Taylor whatever or somesuch? Urgh. Not that Gambit's one of my favourite characters, but... it just didn't work for me. He wasn't anywhere near charismatic enough.

5. During the movie, I had the insanely pressing URGE to delve back into the comics again - now, try to believe me when I say that I really AM far from being the biggest comics dork around. ( I don't think anyone really believes me, do they? )

6. AFTER the movie, to get back to my weekend - I went to a colleague's house for an awesome potluck dinner. ♥ He made chili and corn on the cob, other people brought corn muffins, mashed potatoes, ice cream (I contributed some not-so-great salad that wasn't popular anyway with all the OTHER things on the table), and it was just fun to sit around chatting about... movies, work, anything, everything. Honestly the people I work with are about the only reason I haven't lost my fragile grip on sanity in the past six and a half years I've been at this job. And it's been FAR too long since we had one of these chat sessions, so that was good!

7. Then, on Sunday, I managed to get up in time for my 2pm yoga class: which, although it was the easiest of the easy classes, I almost died in. GOD. I have not been back in weeks, because I've been lazy and the thought of inflicting pain on my really just completely inflexible body didn't appeal. So, being out of practice, that - predictably - became a self-fulfilling prophecy. A+, me. I'm already sore, and am going to hurt like the DICKENS tomorrow. In fact, I was apparently so tired I went for lunch, came home, and SLEPT FOR FOUR HOURS. Straight through dinner on a worknight. EPIC FAIL. That now means, of course, that it's 2.46am and I am WIDE AWAKE. AUUUGGGH.

8. ALSO, YOUTUBE LOOP. AIEEEEEE. Chiefly, there was Alice and Emily belting their faces off in I Will Never Leave You, one of the few times I've SEEN them sing that song unattached at the hip. YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT, GUYS: can we say omigod sexy SASSY belting times a million. 2:31 is legit an ORGASMIC EXPERIENCE, when they belt in opposite directions but sound PERFECTLY in sync, omigod. (ETA: OMG, 0:55!!! How. Cute?!) Then I found Bebe videos, and although she really doesn't have the best voice on her, god I LOVE her sass. She's SUCH a killer Velma, and probably the only person I'd want to see in the role over Julia (that's right, REPLACE IN CHICAGO, JULIA, PLZ). And yay, Bebe singing from Cabaret! I LOVE her line readings more than anything else. Mmmm, dripping with sarcasm and sass. I heart you, Lilith Bebe. ;)

9. And, because apparently this isn't already epic long enough, I figured I should get started on my alphabet meme, or I won't be done by the time I hit NY. To wit, here's the first five letters of the alphabet, accompanied by a lot of flail and a handy Twitter-ready summary for each. ( That would be A-E, in case you didn't know )

10. OMIGOD THAT TOOK FOREVER. Wow, I am going to have to seriously cut down on the time I spend on the next 21 letters or I am going to die. D: I shall now attempt to go to bed at 3.47am even though I'm WIDE AWAKE (damn the nap) and hungry (no dinner). Blaaarrrgh.

1. What a surprisingly productive day!

2. I managed to get up before 2pm - 'TIS A FEAT - as I had bought myself a ticket to see Valkyrie at 2.50pm and really did not want to sleep through ANOTHER movie and waste another 11 bucks. Unfortunately, any attempt to have a normal lunch was THWARTED by the epic huge rainstorm that blew up RIGHT over town when I was walking to the cinema (having parked somewhere further off in a failed attempt to incur less parking charges). Seriously, I would have really wanted an ark right about then, though not so much the pairs of animals that would've come with. :P I had to buy an umbrella on the way just to make it to the cinema vaguely on time, and as luck would have it, the WORST of the storm would ease RIGHT after I opened the umbrella and started outdoors. Story of my life.

3. Valkyrie was... disappointingly HOLLYWOOD, given its very weighty, very worthy subject matter. I mean, I should have seen this coming a mile away and expected it: WHO casts Tom Cruise in a movie about the last, most successful (not to say it SUCCEEDED) attempt to unseat Hitler and change the course of world history? So yes, it was Hollywoodised, Tom was not awful but didn't really seem able to make me want to care about the character... and Eddie Izzard was unrecognisable in the film. I liked Bill Nighy and Tom Wilkinson though. Again, REALLY solid supporting cast. That being said, I STILL CRIED AT THE END. EVEN THOUGH I KNEW THE OUTCOME AND THE MOVIE WASN'T THAT GREAT. My tear ducts, how much more faily could you be?

4. BTW, as a sequel to yesterday's cookie-eating debacle, I am currently trying to eat a chocolate bar that suffered a similar fate. Cleanliness and maturity are kind of not happening right now.

5. Yoga after that, for the first time in almost seven weeks. Aside from being off in NYC and being felled by illness/work, I've tried a couple of times in the past week to go back... but keep getting to town too late for class. GRRR. Clearly it was not the best idea to go with a class taught by one of the most strangely sadistic instructors on offer. I've had trouble in this guy's class before, when I was already fairly run-in and could handle classes without COMPLETELY unravelling in them. Today, his favourite REST POSITION was the plank i.e., full-on push-up. SIGH. I'm already starting to ache, a little bit, and will no doubt regret this when I wake up on the morrow later today.

6. Subsequently provided an alibi of sorts for noldoparma to hightail it out of her high-school reunion, and we met for Japanese at Vivocity. GOD. I've been stalking a particular restaurant there ever since I came back from NYC, but for some reason have never been able to get there in time to eat before/after whatever movie I'd be seeing. FINALLY got to have my hotate kakiage don - which is basically tempura (lightly battered) scallops and vegetables over rice. OM NOM NOM NOM. V HAPPY. I think I might be addicted to that particular dish. Then, predictably, black sesame ice cream before...

7. Heading back to mine to try our hand at Rock Band and Sing Star. *weeps* What a rockin' way to spend a Saturday night, huh? WE ARE SUCH DORKS. I held the guitar the wrong way around, and J got blisters from the drums ALREADY. But I think we might be a little bit hooked. AUGH NO.

8. Finally, I came home to Youtube, and I don't generally REALLY look at the recommendations on the front page, but I did today and they kind of amused me a lot: ( What Youtube thinks I should be watching )

9. How is it that I always manage to write SO MUCH about a day that really was, basically, VERY BORING to anyone who is not me?! Do not understand.

10. ETA: Meryl pic-spam - because everyone needs a dose of class (and PRETTY) in their day, y/y?!

1. I hope you guys had a GREAT day. I slept all day, ate peanut butter kisses, met my friend to watch a movie, and had dinner at this Japanese pasta place. Wacky.

BUT:

2. Australia: I don't even know WHAT to think about this movie. It was, like, Out Of Africa by Baz Luhrmann i.e., aside from an aristocratic leading lady who eventually grows to love her adopted land and the aboriginal natives upon it, the film included cattle, sparkles, Faramir from LOTR David Wenham and references to Judy Garland! Except. AHAHAHA. HUGH JACKMAN. OMIGOD. SO. FUCKING. HOT. PLZ. Can I just say that Singapore audiences are ridiculously NON-eager to participate in movie experiences? Witness the complete dead-fish-ness in any of the five screenings of Mamma Mia I attended in the month it was playing here... well, when Hugh made a grand old Cary Grant type entrance in a sexy sexy tux in Australia? The ENTIRE CINEMA gasped in awe. YES PLZ. Because Hugh is ridiculously hot. RIDICULOUSLY SO. I approve of the canny film marketers who dumped the Wolverine trailer in amongst the ads for Australia. Mmm, adamantium claws. Growly. Sideburns! ♥ Is it May 2009 yet?

3. I went to HMV after that - it makes me happy (and shallow) that Mamma Mia is tops of the DVD bestseller list for the week. It pwned The Dark Knight (which was #1 last week)! These things shouldn't amuse me, but they do. It's not that I didn't like TDK, I DID - one of the best movies I've seen all year, whereas MM is very much NOT (technically) one of the best movies I've seen this year. But I like it when consumers prove everything Meryl has been saying about how women can and WILL pay for entertainment and QUALITY movies should be more consistently geared in our direction.

4. Work tomorrow. Crappity. And ACTUAL work for once. I have to snap out of this lethargy that has consumed me for the last two-three months. MUST.

1. It's almost Christmas! I feel like I should have uploaded music for everybody - in fact, I probably WILL get around to doing that tomorrow, as a kind of Christmas eve celebration of awesome. I'm a bit lazy to do that tonight though.

2. Mainly because I am currently RIDICULOUSLY excited to be seeing Next To Normal in a few weeks' time. This interview with the incomparable Alice Ripley popped up on my Google alerts and pretty much made my evening. She talked about so many things! The new production, Side Show, her upcoming DC show (which I would so go for if I weren't going to see A Little Night Music in NYC instead...) plus, she fangirls Brian. A+, Alice, I approve. XD

3. So now I'm back on an N2N kick. VIDEO OF NEW PRODUCTION:



4. Oh wait, I lied about not having anything else to flail/ramble on about. I think know I've been horrifically remiss in flailing about Julia's November Joe's Pub concert. Mainly because I was overseas at the time, and then other fandoms got in the way, and well, I suck. So I decided today to just listen to the concert all the way through at work. Good god almighty. GUYS. I've flailed about it before. I KNOW I have. But if you trust my taste at all (and dudes, if you're STILL reading my LJ after this time, you must to a certain extent, right?), you HAVE to listen to Julia sing Sara Bareilles' Gravity, because it is ASTOUNDING. Does anyone have good to okay photos of this concert? I neeeeed to make album art for my iPod, and I can't remember where (or even if?) I saw good photos from this.

5. Meryl = ♥ Again, as always, why so articulate, Meryl? *sighs*

6. Oh god, HOLY BELTING OF AWESOME, ALICE.

7. Christmas Eve celebrations at work tomorrow - which means epic amounts of food and no work done, which is aces in my book. I'm due to take care of my cousin in the afternoon, as his parents are only returning from Japan at midnight. I shall take him out for lunch (if I can still eat after inhaling turkey at work) and watch Bedtime Stories. WUT, NO JUDGING. I don't think I can convince my cousin to come watch me weep over Hugh Jackman's sexiness in Australia for three hours straight. So Adam Sandler it'll have to be...

8. I think I'll... go and watch some more 30 Rock now. I watched the Seinfeld episode from Season 2 just now and died of LOL. OMIGOD TINA. She is almost criminally adorable. Also, my disturbing crush on Alec Baldwin continues. I think I should just go with the flow. Also the ship, because eek. Jack/Liz!! XD

9. I'm still downloading music, in between distractions. You guys are all AMAZING. Fanmixes to follow - probably as massive Christmas gifts to the flist. :D

10. God, I am boring as fuck these days. I apologise...

1. I HAVE SO MUCH VIDEO FLAIL. OMIGOD. FLAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIL. But I will get to that later. Y'all have to promise to flail with me, plz.

2. You know what I did today? So I have the latest copy of Entertainment Weekly, yes? I was going to read it, right? And then, you know, keep it because of that gorgeous full-page spread of Meryl? WELL GUESS WHAT. I TRIPPED AND DROPPED THE MAGAZINE IN THE JOHN. WTF, CLUMSY SELF OF FAIL. God, you'd think I'd have better hand-eye-brain coordination after 20+ years trying to figure out how to use my hands. HA HA. CLEARLY NOT.

3. YOGA OF DEATH. Although I lie, a little bit. Did a hot class today. Still am a fundamentally inflexible person. But it was good. We did the same bendy-twisty thing that hurt like eff the last time and I managed to last the whole pose this, so that was encouraging. Was SO dripping with sweat by the end of it and really quite gross though.

4. AND THEN I CAME HOME AND MY FANDOMS EXPLODED. Good thing LJ is back up! If you have some spare time, COME WATCH ALL THESE VIDEOS. Because they make me ultra-super-capslocky-HAPPY. XD

5. ( FANGASM = HUGH LAURIE IN A TUX, DRIPPING WET )

6. IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE A VERY COLBERT CHRISTMAS. Oh my friggin' god. How excited am I for Stephen's MUSICAL CHRISTMAS SPECIAL?! Yes, that's right! MUSICAL. CHRISTMAS. SPECIAL. STEPHEN COLBERT. A whole bunch of awesome words strung together to produce something awesome. He's promoting the special now, so a bunch of promos and talk shows and stuff are leaking, and WTF it's HILARIOUS AND AMAZING. It makes me want to DIE FROM LOL. ( I am swept up in myself )

7. AND THEN AND THEN. The Mamma Mia DVD comes out soon! So random clips are surfacing, beyond the outtakes that I posted earlier. This is a behind-the-scenes look at the filming of Mamma Mia (the song), and I LOVE IT. Meryl talks about having to climb a goat house that turned out to be "this 60-foot Mayan pyramid without the pyramid" and how she had to SING ALL THE TIME, wtf. I love that they all sang live and stuff, but man, dangerous. Plus, can we say knackering?! Last line is my favourite - "I'm going to just... dangle here for a while". LMAO.

8. I would also have Julia video to share... except it's taking forever to upload. weazel_luv, be so kind as to post it in comments if you don't, you know, fall asleep in front of your computer? ;)

9. It'd be a good day. Except, yuck, work. And now it's 3.30 in the morning. Clearly my plan to sleep "early" this week is not working out for me. Or at least not when the alternative is to be flaily. Ah well. Two more days before Australia, anyway. I CAN DO IT.

1. So. I've seen The Dark Knight. Beware of spoilers beneath the cut (though I've deliberately kept them pretty vague, IMHO, so no plot points are touched on that you won't already know from the trailer - at least they won't affect your enjoyment of the show, I think). However, there is one thing that can safely be said spoiler-free:

2. What other movie would we be foolhardy enough to open the same weekend as this blockbuster? Why, that would be Mamma Mia, of course. I won't be able to watch this for another two months because my country is made of too much fail for words. But there are pretty PRETTY promo pictures! Involving lots of half-naked men, LOL.



3. Predictably? I MADE ICONS. :P



4. I realise that now I've seen Dark Knight, there isn't actually another movie playing at cinemas now that I'll want to see. OMG. BEREFT. What will I do with myself this weekend?!

5. OH GOD. ONE. WEEK. TO. XF2. Tempted to take the day off the moment it premieres so I can watch it at, like, noon or something. IS THIS OBSESSIVE/EXCESSIVE/TOO FLAILY? Do I care? Not particularly. :D

6. Eek! Ace is going to be staged and possibly head to Broadway! I LOVE the demo that I have, and it looks like Jill Paice will be singing Julia Murney's part. Sweet. Of course, the news that Emily Skinner might also be involved has me VERY intrigued to see whether this show can make it big.

7. OMFG. EMMY NOMINATIONS FOR LEE PACE AND KRISTIN CHENOWETH. YEEES. WELL DONE, EMMYS, for all the PD love. Because, OMFG, you frickin' left ROBERT SEAN LEONARD off your best supporting actor list. NO LOVE FOR YOU BECAUSE OF THAT. (Edited to add: here's a video of Cheno announcing the Emmy nominees alongside Neil Patrick Harris. It's adorable how she can't stop talking, LOL. She dishes on her love life! And demands to go on American Idol!! Ahhh Cheno. I've forgotten what a sunshiny ball of CUTE you are.)

8. I am also addicted to Next To Normal. Just wanted to say that, again. Because it bears repeating. I cannot stop listening to I Dreamed A Dance.

9. ETA: Julia fans, let's play a ridiculously simple game that weazel_luv *ahem* distracted me with when I should have been working yesterday! (Kidding, I totes distracted myself.) Please to be hunting through my interests on my profile to find the three interests related to Ms Murney. ADD THEM TO YOUR PROFILE. Spread the LOVE. :D

1. OH GOD. Had plans to watch House, right? FAILED, OBVIOUSLY. I should never volunteer to do a meme, even on a day off from work when I have more time to spend online. Because that's pretty much what I did all night. I did manage to go for the slowest run in the history of the universe. But mostly I memed. Oh well, at least it was fun. ;) Go play if you want to, if you haven't already!

2. I SHALL WATCH HOUSE TOMORROW.

3. Oh you know what? My heterosexuality came back today! At least for a while. ;) I watched Iron Man, and OMG. What a fun fun fun movie. (Though don't trust just me on that, because I much preferred X-Men 3 to Superman Returns, which apparently makes me some kind of movie retard. WHATEVER. The X-Men rule. IMHO, and yes I DO read comics because I am a geek that way, Marvel pwns DC, kthx.) Um, anyway. Bias aside. I LOVE the fact that the movie didn't take itself seriously - many random moments of epic fail as Tony Stark tries to perfect his power-suit - but that, because it had Robert Downey Jr as its lead, the movie jsut turned out darker and a whole lot more awesome than it'd have been if, IDK, someone with less acting chops but more bankability or whatever took on the role instead. And now I can stop pretending to have intelligent thoughts. ROBERT DOWNEY JR. PHWOAR.



4. Anyway! In honour of my heterosexuality resurfacing - however briefly! - FLIST. Spam me with your favourite pictures of hot guys. I expect LOTS of Hugh Laurie and David Duchovny in the comments. But everyone else is welcome. LONG AS THEY ARE SEXY. (medland, this means Richard Schiff, ahem. Or anyone on the West Wing, really.) Thanks in advance. ;)

5. I had a doughnut and cereal for dinner. And this is even though I'm at home with a kitchen and people who would actually prepare me, like, real food. Can you imagine what it's going to be like if I actually go back to university?! I'll be eating salad out of the bag again! FAIL. ;)

6. AND OH GOD. MATTHEW ROBINSON. Love!! What's with me and all the hot!guy! love today?! I guess I had to get Julia/Alice/Emily off my music player at SOME point. Thanks, Lana!! :):)

7. Edited to add: I have new music crack! (Not just music I downloaded, although, YAY for The Little Mermaid demo with Kerry Butler, Gavin Creel and EMILY SKINNER KTHX.) But also, I went to HMV! And bought Sarah McLachlan's new Rarities album, because I love Sarah and because there are some AWESOME tracks on that. And also Joni Mitchell's Blue. Because Alice Ripley told me to. Well, basically.
