my tooth hurts. that's why i put 2:30 as the subject. i thought it might be funny. are you laughing? i can't quite see you. maybe it's not funny. maybe i've talked about it too much and it was never funny.
whatever let's move on.
the shirt dying process went well. wait, did i tell you i was dying shirts? or did i just twitter that? hmm....now i can't remember. well, i dyed some shirts black tonight. 2 of them to be exact. they're in the dryer now. yep. it went well. i splashed dye literally all over the stove. but, it washed up later. i was happy about that. although, a tye dye stove might be hip.
just finished watching A Lot Like Love. have you seen this movie? i like it. a lot. no, i love it a lot. i like it a lot like love. it's a great movie. the first time i watched it, i thought it was just going to be stupid. but, it's really good. it's super funny and it has a great soundtrack.
but, the reason i love it a lot is this one scene with Amanda Peet. she wears this orange sweatshirt. MAN i love that orange sweatshirt. and she wears it with a skirt. and she just looks so freaking cool. i think about that sweatshirt a lot. not like, in a creepy way. but just sometimes when i want to look cool. and i'm like, "i wish i could look as cool as she does in that orange sweatshirt." i'm totally serious, i think that a lot.
it's just like, a normal sweatshirt. hoodie. orange. i just love it. great job to whoever did the costumes for that movie. that orange sweatshirt has stuck with me throughout the years. and i'm not joking. i'm really jealous of that sweatshirt and how cool she looks in it.
ok. done.
so, it's 2:13am. sunday morning. i have to be at work in 5 hours and 47 minutes. awesome! i think i might bring my lap top to work.
oh! laptop story! i told you the first story about how i thought it died because of the weird screen thing it did.
well. this afternoon, i'm just surfing along. minding my own business. listening to 'i love you' by the zombies. and the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH appears. that screen where it's like, "WE FOUND A PROBLEM AND YOU'RE SCREWED. HOPE YOU BACKED UP YOUR STUFF. THIS MIGHT BE THE END. YOU CAN TRY AND RESTART IT, BUT I'M NOT PROMISING ANYTHING." you know that screen? man, it sucks. that was the screen i could not avoid when my hard drive crashed a few years ago. it's like, that screen pops up and my heart stops.
so, i took a deep breath. Ruby was sitting on my lap at the time, and i explained to her that this might be the last time we use the computer. and i'm like, getting pretty nervous. and i shut it off by the power button for the second time today. restarted it. and covered my face with my hand.
and it took soooooooo long to start up. and i couldn't even watch. i was just like, "omg omg omg omg omg it's really not going to work, is it?" and i SERIOUSLY thought that was it.
but then it happened - windows is starting up. i got that message and i knew we were in the safe zone. we made it. and everything has worked fine since.
but, i was thinking like, this really sucks. not knowing if my computer is going to totally blow out one day. and then i decided: wow, i think i want nice things. like, my laptop is on its way out, and i wish i could get a new one. i wish i didn't have to wait for it to die on me.
wait a second.....how old am i? am i 23? or am i 22? am i going to be 24 next year?? no. no way. 24? that can't be right. there's got to be a math problem there. holy man. when did that happen?? i'm going to be 24!!!!????? that's like, a person. that's like, there's no more joking around. no, i must be turning 23. 24 is too old. oh man i just got sick feeling.
because, i was thinking, "maybe if i start saving some money now, i will be able to buy myself a new laptop for my birthday." and then i thought, "how old are you going to be?" and then i just had that panic sesh.
but man, i need to get going. not like, to bed. but like, with my life.
ok, nevermind. i can't get on one of these things right now where i talk about all the things i want to be and then panic because i really have no idea what i want to be or how i'm going to get anywhere with my life.
OK DONE THANKS BYE.
sooo...i did not receive any emails today. nope. not one. i kept checking all day and none arrived. at first i was happy because it meant that i was just alone all day. but then i was like, 'but why doesn't anyone have anything to say to me??' and then i got sad.
but, kara called me! on the phone! while i was dying my shirts! and i was excited about that because i hadn't talked to her all week and i thought she forgot about me.
i told her that i wanted to go to Friendly's. because, it seems on facebook everyone has been going to friendly's. and it makes me want to go.
UM, KNOW WHERE EVERYONE IS ALSO GOING?!?! to see the pixies!!! like, 3 of my friends are going to see them! ok, that's not everybody. but, it's 3 people!
aaaahhhh i want to go to a concert!!!! rooney tour now please!!!!!!!!!
love Cactus. yeah. love that song.
soooo. work. sunday. 8-4. ugh. we have to go grocery shopping. that should take like, an hour. but, besides that, we have nothing planned. i hope i don't get into any arguments tomorrow. i just don't feel like it! please just do what you're supposed to do and don't fight with me.
so remember how i ran out of soy milk last night? friday night. so, i'm thinking about making my tea tonight. and then i decide that it just won't be the same without milk. so instead! i enjoyed a cold beverage, but! i put it in my mug so it would seem like i was drinking tea. and we all know how much i love drinking cold beverages out of mugs!!!! it's so fun!!!! so, that's what i did. and it rocked pretty hard.
no plans for tomorrow after work. no plans for monday. work tuesday.
i'll probably bring some books to work tomorrow. and maybe my laptop. maybe get some writing done. some b-logging. some creative writing.
oh! i have to do my cover song post. maybe i'll do that tomorrow. i know you can't wait any longer.
i had that Jonas Brothers song stuck in my head allllllllll night. 'letting you down.' it's a good song. they should release it.
ummmm......okay. i might go to bed now. it's 2:47am. sunday morning. work at 8am. i already know what i'm wearing (jeans, newly dyed black t-shirt, purple cardi), and how i'm doing my hair (however it is when i wake up). so, that's easy. i think i might make coffee before. and bring it down in the travel mug. and i can't decide about breakfast. i might make some waffles to bring down. oh, we'll see.
i miss you a lot!!! whoever you are, wherever you are - i really miss you. and i'm serious.
i want to take a bus trip somewhere. not the Bus Eireann - but the Dave Bus. i want to take a ride on the Dave Bus. and like, go cross country. on a bus!
Andrew said that if i learned guitar we could go on tour. maybe i'll take him up on that.
wouldn't it be great to take a super long bus trip with all your friends?! i could start, and then pick everybody up along the way. like a bus taxi! only, for my friends. and, we would just pick you up. you wouldn't need to call. i guess not like a bus taxi.
what was that bus? that famous bus....in like, the 60's??? oh! The Merry Pranksters!!! they traveled on their bus. we wouldn't have to take all the drugs. unless you wanted to, i guess. i would probably just say no. but that would be so fun! we could be famous! loves it.
i just want to see all my friends together and have a big dance party. UGH I WANT TO HAVE A DANCE PARTY. how fun was dancing at kerianne's wedding? um, totes fun a lot. like, a lot. me and aliya totes killed it on the dance floor. and those three guys were pretty awesome too.
ok, let's have a dance party. maybe not on a bus. but maybe at a bus stop. that way, ALL OF US, can take the bus into this one location (as central as possible), and we'll all hang out for a few hours, have a rockin' dance party, and then we'll get back on the bus and go home!
ugh i want to go somewhere. i want to stay in a hotel.
ok i'm going to bed now. 3:02am. work at 8am.
i wonder how much longer i will live here. not like, how much longer until i die. but how much longer will i live in new hampshire. i'm kind of getting sick of it. i wonder where i will live after this. i wonder what my job will be.
like, i know that i don't know what i want to do. but, i wonder what i will really do. ya know? like, in 40 years, will i look back on this blog and be like, "omg, i can't believe i had no idea i was going to do this!!" hopefully i won't say 'omg.' but, maybe i will! who knows? i don't. i don't know. if you thought i had all the answers - i don't.
sometimes i'm like, "i just wish i was there already." you know? THERE. like, when will i get there?! but then sometimes i'm like, "this is all part of it."
ok. 3:10am. going to bed now. maybe my dream tonight will be so prophetic that i will wake up and be like, "YES!! THAT'S IT!!!!!" and then know exactly what i will do.
i hope you are having a good night. hey, what do you do? if you're reading this right now, what do you do during the week? do you work? what are you? what do you do? i'm just curious. you don't need to provide your name. or location. but maybe, a friendly greeting, and then what you do.
or, if you don't want to tell me here, you could tell me HERE:::
the.green.seahorse@gmail.com
THE BLOG EMAIL ADDRESS!!!!!! i forgot to put it up somewhere on the blog. i'll do that sunday at work.
ok. hey, did i tell you that i like you? oh, i do. i like you a lot. maybe i know who you are, and maybe i don't. but, i just think you're great. i think you're so great, i can't even really put it into words. i really hope you know that.
bloody your hands on the cactus tree
wipe it on your dress and send it to me
<3
(maybe that last part sounded creepy, but it's the lyrics to 'cactus' by the pixies. i promise. they wrote it - not me.)
12 September 2009
word on the street is that you aren't into me anymore
you promised you'd come to me anytime, anywhere - that was before.
(subject taken from the lyrics of an unreleased Jonas Brothers song. awesome.)
anyways. not much has been going on today. actually, nothing has been going on today.
got into bed this morning at 4am. fell RIGHT to sleep. i was super tired, i guess. woke up at 8:17am. the phone was ringing. and i am still very confused as to what was happening. nobody answered it. so, i got up to answer it, but then it stopped ringing. and, the house alarm was still set. so, i don't know what was happening. i don't know if maybe the 8am house staff was a little bit late in coming in. but, then i looked out the window and saw her car. again, i don't know what was happening.
anyways.
set my alarm for 11am so i could get up and go to the post office to get Rudo y Cursi. i was very excited about this.
woke up at 9am. Ruby Tuesday was licking my arm and sitting right next to me. and she was being very cute. and then i told her to go back to sleep because it was too early for breakfast.
and then i immediately went back to sleep.
woke up again and thought to myself, "crap, i missed the post office." looked at the clock - 1:27pm. yep. slept through the alarm. CRAP. i was really looking forward to seeing that movie. and now i have to wait until monday. so lame.
so i thought, "hm, i wonder why the alarm didn't go off." and then i looked at it a bit closer and saw that it DID go off, but it was just on pause. so, i must have woken up when it went off and paused it so it would stop playing.
i HAVE to move that alarm clock remote from next to my bed. it's a little devil sometimes. and i have no memory of shutting it off.
but, i must have woken up and thought enough to know that it was a saturday and not a day when i had to be down before school. i also must have been awake to know which way to point the remote control. it's kind of tricky. i sometimes have trouble with it while i'm awake.
anyways. so then i moved around in bed a little and realized that Ruby was sleeping under the covers right next to my feet. so, i lifted up the blankets and she was all squinty eyed and stretched out. um, yeah. it was really cute.
so, i decided that i didn't want to get up. so, i stayed in bed for like, 20 minutes. not doing anything. not even really thinking about anything. i had a Phantom Planet song stuck in my head. so, that was nice.
then at 1:50pm i got up. went online. no emails. that made me sad. nothing too exciting happening online today.
had breakfast. made coffee. then i thought my computer died. because, it does this really annoying thing.
ok, so sometimes i won't realize it, but it will come unplugged. and, the battery only lasts like, 5 seconds. well, maybe more like, 5 minutes. and then it shuts off. but not really. the screen turns this really dark, dark grey. but you can still hear sound and see the outlines of things.
and, the way it used to be, was if it shut off because the battery was too low, i would just plug it back in, and everything would be fine again.
but recently, if it shuts off because the battery is too low, i can't get the screen to come back up. and it stays this really dark, dark grey. but, you can still hear everything. and see the outlines of things. but, you can't do anything about it. so i have to press the power button to shut it off that way, and then power it back up.
but THIS TIME, i shut it off by pressing the power button, but i could STILL see the outlines of everything on the screen. but, the computer was off. but the screen was still on.
and i thought, "uh oh, this is it."
but, it turned back on fine. and now it seems fine.
and that's my computer story of the day.
i was pretty bummed out last night because i used the last of my soy milk in my tea. and, i was bummed because i had JUST been to the grocery store earlier last night, but did not realize that i was so low on soy milk. so now i don't have anymore for tonight. and i'm debating on whether or not i want to go out and get more.
i guess the sonic boom from the space shuttle landing caused a bit of panic in LA yesterday. or, so it seems like it from some Twitter updates i read. Ned from Rooney said he got scared because it was such a loud boom and it was on 11 september. i guess that makes sense. a few other celebs tweeted about it too.
hm.. what else can i tell you.
i'm going to start to try to be more specific about the time of day i am blogging. and the times of day when i recount what i have done, etc. i've had some feedback from my mom saying that she gets confused about when things are happening and what day they take place on. because when i post at like, 3am on a wednesday, i still consider it tuesday because i haven't gone to bed yet. but then people read it on wednesday and think i am talking about "today." and for some reason, the time that blogger puts at the end of the posts is way off. and i don't know how to change it.
remember when the clock on my livejournal got really messed up? and for like, 2 months i was posting like, a day in the future, or something? like, i would post on a thursday, but it would say that i posted it on friday. or something. that was confusing. i think it was because of daylight savings time. i hate that thing.
ok. what else.
i made a chocolate cream tofu pie last night. super easy. tofu. cocoa. sugar. vanilla. cider vinegar. BAM. bake it for 25 minutes at 375. BAM. delish. and i think it's pretty healthy because the whole thing of tofu only has like, 45 calories. whatever.
hmm. ok. i need something to talk about.
yesterday Ruby was all about jumping onto my shoulder from other surfaces. she jumped into my arms from:
1. my bed
2. the counter (x2)
3. the $7.99 table from Ikea
she's pretty sweet. i wish we could make a video diary together. i think you guys would like her.
hmmmm. anything you guys want to talk about? what's been going on with you?
i thought about going to see Taking Woodstock tonight. but, then i decided i didn't want to drive into Hanover and deal with all the Dartmouth kids. i bet it gets pretty crowded down there on a saturday night.
i'm secretly excited because Ghosts of Girlfriends Past is released soon. don't tell anybody. i think that Jennifer Garner looks so beautiful at the end of that trailer. when she's at the alter getting married to not matthew mcconaughey. yeah, i think she looks absolutely gorgeous.
OK. what else can i say that's not embarrassingly related to chick flicks.
i liked that in Knocked Up all his lame friends used their real names. like, Jason and Jonah.
can we talk for one second about how excited i am for The Adventurer's Handbook?? i think they start filming in the spring. FILM SOONER!! omg i can't wait. let's recap: jason segal, jason schwartzman, jonah hill. directed by akiva schaffer. YEAH. oh man. it will be epicly funny.
epicly? epically? epiclly? is that a word? ok, yes it is a word. and it's spelled 'epically.' and there you have it.
this afternoon i started to watch youtube videos from Phantom Planet's final show at The Troubadour in Los Angeles. but then i got all teary and had to stop. i guess that's kind of an embarrassing thing. and i just said i wouldn't tell you any more embarrassing things. but, Alex said that the band had a very emotional moment together before the show. and then i got all emotional.
but, i did watch far enough to hear him make a snippy comment about Jason. he said, "so, yeah, i'm leaving the band to pursue acting..." and then my mouth dropped and i said, "oh no he did not just say that." it was sad/funny.
but, it seems like it was a pretty great show. they had Jacques come back. he also used to be in the band. and left after Jason did. everyone was really excited to see him. including me. and they had Rilo Kiley up there playing with them. and Ned and Taylor from Rooney. it was exciting. and sad. i didn't actually see them play, because i got too sad. but, i imagine it rocked. perhaps at a later date i will be able to watch it.
at least i have great memories about the last time i saw Phantom Planet. it was in Rhode Island with Kara. it was one of the last times i wore my teal jacket before i lost it. they played with Zox and The Format. i've probably told you this. but, we had a lot of fun.
ok. what else. maybe that's all. i'm working tomorrow 8am-4pm. that's sunday.
it's 5pm right now on saturday. it's pretty grey outside. the leaves on the tree outside my window are turning yellow. fall is coming. i'm excited about that.
maybe i'll dye some shirts black today. that could be a good time. maybe i'll take a bath.
i wish my bangs would grow out already. i pulled them back yesterday because i was annoyed by them. i should get some of that Bee Mine hair growth shampoo. do you remember that? from a few weeks ago. i said that i would call my honey store Bee Mine. but then realized that there was a hair growth product called Bee Mine.
whatever, mine makes more sense anyways. all natural, totally local. awesome.
Bee Long. that's what they should call a hair growth product. Beelong. You Beelong to Me. or, Beecoming. 'My, that long hair is so Beecoming on you.' yeah that totes makes more sense.
i wish my walls were painted teal. it would look pretty against the white trim. like a dollhouse. with a black chandelier in the middle. to give it some edge.
ok, so i was watching Jonas Brothers videos today on youtube. did you know that Selena Gomez is in the Burnin' Up video?! and i think Taylor Swifty might bee in it too. (bee reference on purpose) it's a pretty cute video. Joe Jonas just makes me laugh. and swoon. he's my favorite. he's Coutney's favorite too. yeah, we've talked about this.
i guess that was something else embarrassing that i admitted. it's my love for brother containing boybands. they are addicting. HANSON. oh man. i was listening to Hanson the other day. MAN, they can rock. that was the last concert i went to. with Kerianne. and then we met up with Aliya afterwards at Packard's.
if i ever started a band with my brother, i would call it 'Oh, Brother!' this is of course assuming two things:
1. that i was a boy
2. and i had a brother
both of these things are not true. what's with this 'name the band after your last name?' no, make up some cutesy name based on the fact you are brothers. Oh, Brother! Can't Bee Brothered. haha, i like that one. that could also be the name of a brother-owned honey store.
Can't Bee Brothered. your source for all natural, totally local honey products.
wow. i am just full of creativity today. if you ever need a name for a store or a band, let me know.
remember when me and Maria were going to start an underwear/sauce store. her half would be the underwear half and it would be called Funderwear. and my half would be the sauce half and it would be called The Sauceror. but don't worry, we would package them in separate bags.
Maria, are you going to start that band name blog OR WHAT?!?! for serious! that was a great idea. do it. do it. come on, do it.
anyways. this has gotten quite long. for someone who really has nothing to talk about, i really manage to drag these things out.
basically, i talk about things that have made me cry recently:
1. Entourage
2. Veronica Mars
3. Knocked Up
4. Phantom Planet
and then i talk about my fictional honey store.
i can't believe you guys come back to read this. or, maybe you don't. i don't know. actually, i do know. i've been getting a lot of new views lately. i don't know if people are actually reading, or accidentally finding this blog and then realizing that it is definitely not what they want.
i love reading the keywords that people search for that take them to this blog. some of them are pretty great.
alright. i'm going to go do some other stuff. and then i'll do my cover song post that i know you are all waiting for. you have probably been sitting by your computer straight through for like, 3 days refreshing the page seeing if i have updated it yet. and i have failed you. but, i promise you that i will do it later on tonight. so that you will have some great music to listen to later on.
OK! have a fun saturday night. i'll be here with Ruby. it's an exciting life. as you all know.
love yaaaaaa!
talk to you soon!!

epicly? epically? epiclly? is that a word? ok, yes it is a word. and it's spelled 'epically.' and there you have it.

ok. what else. maybe that's all. i'm working tomorrow 8am-4pm. that's sunday.
it's 5pm right now on saturday. it's pretty grey outside. the leaves on the tree outside my window are turning yellow. fall is coming. i'm excited about that.
maybe i'll dye some shirts black today. that could be a good time. maybe i'll take a bath.
i wish my bangs would grow out already. i pulled them back yesterday because i was annoyed by them. i should get some of that Bee Mine hair growth shampoo. do you remember that? from a few weeks ago. i said that i would call my honey store Bee Mine. but then realized that there was a hair growth product called Bee Mine.
whatever, mine makes more sense anyways. all natural, totally local. awesome.
Bee Long. that's what they should call a hair growth product. Beelong. You Beelong to Me. or, Beecoming. 'My, that long hair is so Beecoming on you.' yeah that totes makes more sense.
i wish my walls were painted teal. it would look pretty against the white trim. like a dollhouse. with a black chandelier in the middle. to give it some edge.
ok, so i was watching Jonas Brothers videos today on youtube. did you know that Selena Gomez is in the Burnin' Up video?! and i think Taylor Swifty might bee in it too. (bee reference on purpose) it's a pretty cute video. Joe Jonas just makes me laugh. and swoon. he's my favorite. he's Coutney's favorite too. yeah, we've talked about this.
i guess that was something else embarrassing that i admitted. it's my love for brother containing boybands. they are addicting. HANSON. oh man. i was listening to Hanson the other day. MAN, they can rock. that was the last concert i went to. with Kerianne. and then we met up with Aliya afterwards at Packard's.
if i ever started a band with my brother, i would call it 'Oh, Brother!' this is of course assuming two things:
1. that i was a boy
2. and i had a brother
both of these things are not true. what's with this 'name the band after your last name?' no, make up some cutesy name based on the fact you are brothers. Oh, Brother! Can't Bee Brothered. haha, i like that one. that could also be the name of a brother-owned honey store.
Can't Bee Brothered. your source for all natural, totally local honey products.
wow. i am just full of creativity today. if you ever need a name for a store or a band, let me know.
remember when me and Maria were going to start an underwear/sauce store. her half would be the underwear half and it would be called Funderwear. and my half would be the sauce half and it would be called The Sauceror. but don't worry, we would package them in separate bags.
Maria, are you going to start that band name blog OR WHAT?!?! for serious! that was a great idea. do it. do it. come on, do it.
anyways. this has gotten quite long. for someone who really has nothing to talk about, i really manage to drag these things out.
basically, i talk about things that have made me cry recently:
1. Entourage
2. Veronica Mars
3. Knocked Up
4. Phantom Planet
and then i talk about my fictional honey store.
i can't believe you guys come back to read this. or, maybe you don't. i don't know. actually, i do know. i've been getting a lot of new views lately. i don't know if people are actually reading, or accidentally finding this blog and then realizing that it is definitely not what they want.
i love reading the keywords that people search for that take them to this blog. some of them are pretty great.
alright. i'm going to go do some other stuff. and then i'll do my cover song post that i know you are all waiting for. you have probably been sitting by your computer straight through for like, 3 days refreshing the page seeing if i have updated it yet. and i have failed you. but, i promise you that i will do it later on tonight. so that you will have some great music to listen to later on.
OK! have a fun saturday night. i'll be here with Ruby. it's an exciting life. as you all know.
love yaaaaaa!
talk to you soon!!

11 September 2009
i love you, i love you, i love you, yes i do, but the words won't come
AND I DON'T KNOW, WHAT TO SAY!!!!
had that song stuck in my head for the better part of the night. great song. 'I Love You'. The Zombies.
so, i just finished watching Knocked Up. after being on the Birthing Pav today, i felt like watching it. is that weird? i don't know. we saw a tiny squinty baby wearing a little hat. he was the only baby in the nursery. there's really no nursery there because they strongly encourage the babies to be in the room with the mothers. but, they said the nurses are always there to take the babies, because they also encourage the mothers to sleep as much as they can.
it was a good tour. we got there at 3pm. and we thought we were going to be the only ones in the tour, but then this other family showed up. holy crap, they were the most beautiful family ever. it was a wife, husband, and toddler son. and this little boy was in his stroller, and he had on the most ADORABLE shoes. they were like boating shoes! but in baby size! and slip-on. i kept noticing them throughout the whole tour. and then tonight when i was talking with Courtney about it, she was like, "did you see that little boy's shoes?!" and then we talked about it some more. i was really happy that she also noticed them.
but, they were all so beautiful. the wife was this gorgeous pregnant woman. she was dressed so nicely. and her husband was so handsome. and they baby was gorgeous.
anyways. we walked around the Pav. it's pretty freaking nice. all the rooms are huge. and they all have pull out couches. and a tv and dvd player. for all those movies that you'll want to watch right after your baby is born. "oh, give the baby to the nurse, i want to get caught up on Lost."
the only thing that really bummed me out were the views from the windows. it was like, roof. from the whole Pav, it was just views of the room. which was pretty lame. and the way the whole place was decorated just could have been happier, i think. it basically just looked like every other section of the hospital, except with baby cries. and benches built into the walls incase people need to sit down in the hallway, if someone is laboring.
i had this image of walking onto the Birthing Pav and the walls are all yellow, with pink, blue and green furniture. and plush carpets. and stuffed animals. and decorations hanging from the ceiling. like, baby shower/birthday decorations. think of how many birthdays there are on that Pav!!! there was no lullaby music playing.
i should talk to them about their decor.
but, good tour. now we know where to go.
and, it made me want to watch Knocked Up.
and, i think i need to end my feud with Judd Apatow. because, i laughed a lot during that movie. it was funny. there didn't need to be as many swears. especially around the baby.
i totally did not remember that Jason Segal played one of his friends. he was the one who was in love with her older sister. he was super funny.
AND - i meant to tell you this before. and i meant to tell Kara. and i'll have to tell her again because she turned into a lame person who doesn't read my blog. BUT ANYWAYS - Seth Rogen WAS in Donnie Darko!!
i know, i know, i will explain a little.
so, kara was talking to her boyfriend and he told her that Seth Rogen played one of the mean kids in Donnie Darko. like, the second mean kid. because the first mean kid is played by Alex Greenwald (who is the singer for Phantom Planet). but, i didn't believe any of it.
UNTIL, i IMDB'd it, and saw that Seth Rogen IS the other mean kid. i couldn't believe it! now i have to watch that movie again.
but getting back to Knocked Up - i cried in the end. when she had the baby (spoiler?). it was just so happy! and then the lovely family montage set to the Loudon Wainwright song during the credits!! yeah, more tears.
but jeeze, he is such a jerk in that movie. Loudon Wainwright. plays her doctor who says he will definitely be there for the birth, but then he isn't. ugh i remember being so mad at that part when i first saw this movie.
but, you can't really hate him because he did the score for the movie and it's really awesome.
i actually didn't know he did the score until this time around watching it. but, i was happy. and then i liked Judd Apatow for asking Loudon Wainwright to do the score for this, and then giving him a part, and asking Jason Schwartzman to do the score for Funny People, and then giving him a part.
he can't really be that bad a guy, right? i mean, he's got those two beautiful daughters. nah, i think it's time for me to put all my hard Apatow feelings aside.
ok. this is the new me. the non-Judd Apatow hater me. i like it. it's refreshing. a weight has been lifted.
no, i'm kidding. there was no weight.
so tonight in the video store i was really happy because they kept playing advertisements for 17 Again. and the first time they did, i stood there and watched it. and i thought to myself, "um, why don't i own that movie?!" and now i'm kind of bothered that i can't watch it right now. um, totes loved that movie. if you haven't seen it - you should. i recommend it.
1. Zac Efron
2. Zac Efron wearing plaid shirts
3. awesome soundtrack
4. (zac efron?)
those are the reasons WHY you should see 17 Again. i don't know why i put 'why' in all caps. i can't remember the voice i was hearing in my head. like, when i wrote that line. not the voice in my head telling me what to write. but, as i'm reading silently as i'm writing. wait, what?
anyways. i decided (i think) that my fave Rooney song from their Calling the World record is 'What For.' yep. i said it. that's it. i don't know what it is about that song, but i totes love it. it's kind of different from their other songs. and it just feels very honest.
but also! today i was thinking and i thought, "since i've been listening to Rooney a lot lately, i can't believe i haven't gone and re-read my LJ entry from when i saw them a few years ago!"
and i was surprised by this, because usually when i want to recall some part of my life, i immediately go to either my blog or vintage livejournal. because - let's face it - i really don't leave anything out.
so, i found the entry where i saw them.
ok, first of all - i saw Ben Lee and Rooney FIVE DAYS after i saw Ben Kweller and The Hymns. second year of college was the year of concerts. and then we also saw Ben Folds that fall.
but anyways - i was SO EXCITED rereading the Rooney entry. holy crap. i forgot how freaking awesome that night was.
FIRST OF ALL, i forgot that was the night we saw The Rock filming a scene for The Game Plan in Boston! i had totally forgotten all about that experience, actually. but, now i remember it.
SECOND OF ALL, i TOTALLY have no memory of this intimate moment that i shared with Robert. and even after reading and rereading (and rereading again), i have no memory of this moment that i talk about. and, while i'm describing this moment, i say that i had totally forgotten about it until i was driving home and then FLIPPED OUT while i remembered.
so, it must have actually happened. but, it really must have been too amazing for my brain to hold onto. Robert Schwartzman blew my mind that night. i have no problem with that.
although, he was going by Robert Carmine then.
and also in the entry, i say that i recently read in Ben Lee's blog that he had had dinner with Robert and Jason for his birthday.
and! remember i just watched the Rooney video diary where Robert talked about Ben and Jason coming over for dinner to celebrate Ben's birthday. (which was yesterday, 11 september)
so, it's like a full circle. and we all know how much i love when things come full circle.
but i'm really bummed that i can't remember that moment. believe me, i've been trying all day to remember. and i've been trying HARD. it sounds awesome.
anyways. maybe i'll dream about it tonight. mmm yes please.
so tomorrow i have to go to the post office. Rudi y Cursi! i'm excited to see that movie. Gael and Diego back onscreen together at last!!!!! i don't think there will be any hott make out scenes in this one, though.
oh, i wanted to tell you about this weird morning i had.
so, the house alarm woke me up this morning. and i JUMPED out of bed to shut it off. and then i was like, "ok, i have to get ready for work." so, i start getting ready to go downstairs. and then i'm like, "wait a sec - what time is it?" and i looked at the clock and it was only 6:11am. and i still had like, half an hour to sleep.
so, i get back into bed and go back to sleep.
and then, the phone must have rung, because the next thing i remember is i'm answering the phone talking to a mother who has her baby in the daycare.
it was so strange. i hate when i don't remember hearing the phone, getting out of bed, or answering the phone. i always "wake up" when i'm talking on the phone. i don't know. that just bothers me that i do that.
also today, i walked past the microwave and had to stop and walk by a second time because i thought i saw someone reflected in the glass. but, it was just the way my pots were hanging next to my oven mits. made it look like a person was standing by the window. but, it could have been scary. if there had actually been a person there. or a ghost.
man i'm hott right now. it's been pretty cold here lately. and so my AC has been turning off sometimes, i think when the outside temp gets too cold. but man, it gets hott in here when it shuts off.
and my bedroom is still pretty hott. except in the mornings when it's freezing.
Ruby is laying on me right now. she just woke up from her nightly snooze. and then she ran out and over to me, jumped on my lap, and settled down there. she's a sweetheart.
the other night i was thinking about Ireland. and how awesome it was being there with my friends. and how awesome my friends are. and how much i miss living at school with them.
i had 3 AWESOME years of living in the mods.
YEAR 2: emily, jenny, maryam, rachel, gwen, me = MOD 27
YEAR 3: emily, jenny, merritt, david, ross, josh = MOD 61
YEAR 4: kerianne, elizabeth, aliya, joe, me = MOD 16
aw man. i miss them so much. did i tell you about the hampshire student i thought i saw at Wal-Mart? yeah. at the wal-mart up here. i walked by someone earlier this summer and i said, "i think he went to hampshire."
but, Ireland. yeah. what a great time we had.
anyways. my eyes are getting sleepy. i hope you had a nice end of the week. any fun plans for the weekend? not here. work on sunday. that's it.
ok! have a great day.
just stay close by, like all the time
cause either i bleed dry
or keep this thorn in my side
but i don't mind
<3
had that song stuck in my head for the better part of the night. great song. 'I Love You'. The Zombies.

10 September 2009
reach for the stars, baby
okay, it's happened. i finished Entourage. season 5. wow, what a great ending! Marty Scorsese! omg, i'm so excited for Vince.
and Stellan Skarsgard was the super crazy director! holy crap, that scene when they went to the meeting with Dana Gordon at the studio was CR-AZY. things got intense. i can't believe that happened.
i feel bad for Vince. man. first Medillin and now Smoke Jumpers. and then getting rejected by Gus Van Sant! yikes.
aw wow. what a season. what a show.
i loved the scene with Ari and his kids in the kitchen. when his daughter was telling him about how to talk to women. i'm kind of in love with Jeremy Piven. i feel bad for all those snippy comments i made about him "not looking sick" at the Golden Globes when he had mercury poisoning. but, i think he's very handsome and i just love when he gets mad. or when he can't stand somebody.
omg! i can't believe i have no more to watch! this is a very surreal moment. and, i looked at the clock when the credits started to roll after the last ep, and it was 2:25am. 225! that's my lucky number/birthday.
i didn't even start watching the disc tonight until late. i kept putting it off. but, i'm glad i finished. it ended on a really good note.
oh! i liked this part when they were debating whether or not to keep Vince in the movie:
CRAZY DIRECTOR: I put a call into Leo!!
ARI GOLD: Leo's in Boston doing Shutter Island!!!
love it.
oh, and i know what i was curious about.....there was a reference to Milk when they were trying to get Gus Van Sant on the phone. i think Drama said, "Milk was dope" or something like that. when did that movie come out?? and when was the season 5 finale? i'm not thinking that they got their facts wrong, i was just surprised to hear that.
but! i think they did get something wrong, actually. there was some line when Ari and Stellan Skarsgard were fighting and one of Ari's comeback lines was, "well, he's made a movie with an Oscar winning American director!!" and then Stellan said, "yeah, he played an underwater superhero," or something like that.
and i thought, "hm, they must be talking about James Cameron, who is in fact CANADIAN. bam!
AND ALSO: this is something that i was REALLY excited about. and i think my mom will be really excited about also.
i have for you, some screencaps from the season 5 finale of Entourage. let's take a look, shall we?
These two scenes feature Vince (sitting) and his best friend and manager Eric (standing). they are in Queens, NY sitting on the steps of Vince's mom's house.
BUT THAT MUG THAT VINCE IS HOLDING - my mom has the exact same one. and she's had it forever. like, forever. for some reason i'm thinking she got it when my sister was in 1st grade. which was like......13 years ago. maybe that's wrong. BUT, not only has she had it forever, but she uses it EVERY night for her tea. this is a true story.
i couldn't believe it when i saw it. i even paused the dvd and said outloud, "omg no way!!" it was great. i was really happy to see that my mom, and Vince's mom have the same mugs. because, i'm assuming it's Vince's mom's.
anyways. enough about Entourage.
the rest of my night at work was fine. i just did some logging and updated the behavior charts. tough work. didn't get into any more arguements, which was good. we'll see how the morning goes.
but, i meant to tell you about this really creepy thing that i experienced this morning.
so, my alarm was going off and i sat up in bed. i pulled my covers back, and something caught my eye. my curtain was blowing by the window. like, something or someone had just brushed up against it.
and i thought, "it must be Ruby Tuesday." but, then i looked in the hall and she was sitting there taking a bath.
and then i thought, "hm, well it must have been a tiny breeze from when i pulled my covers off." because, i was in a hurry to get out of bed and shut off my alarm clock. and so i tried to recreate the scene. like, getting up really quickly. and nothing i did to my sheets even made the slightest breeze to move my curtains.
and, they're pretty heavy curtains. they don't look it, but they are. so, i don't have an explanation for as to why there seemed to be someone brushing up against my curtains this morning. but, i was scared for a moment. and then decided that i shouldn't be scared. so, i wasn't.
and that's my creepy story for the day.
in other news, did everybody hear that Nicki Richie had her baby?!!? it was a little boy. they named him Sparrow James Midnight. i like that name a lot. i really like Midnight.
and, i read this short thing comparing this name with the name of their baby daughter, Harlow Winter Kate. and it was actually really interesting. it said:
and Stellan Skarsgard was the super crazy director! holy crap, that scene when they went to the meeting with Dana Gordon at the studio was CR-AZY. things got intense. i can't believe that happened.
i feel bad for Vince. man. first Medillin and now Smoke Jumpers. and then getting rejected by Gus Van Sant! yikes.
aw wow. what a season. what a show.
i loved the scene with Ari and his kids in the kitchen. when his daughter was telling him about how to talk to women. i'm kind of in love with Jeremy Piven. i feel bad for all those snippy comments i made about him "not looking sick" at the Golden Globes when he had mercury poisoning. but, i think he's very handsome and i just love when he gets mad. or when he can't stand somebody.
omg! i can't believe i have no more to watch! this is a very surreal moment. and, i looked at the clock when the credits started to roll after the last ep, and it was 2:25am. 225! that's my lucky number/birthday.
i didn't even start watching the disc tonight until late. i kept putting it off. but, i'm glad i finished. it ended on a really good note.
oh! i liked this part when they were debating whether or not to keep Vince in the movie:
CRAZY DIRECTOR: I put a call into Leo!!
ARI GOLD: Leo's in Boston doing Shutter Island!!!
love it.
oh, and i know what i was curious about.....there was a reference to Milk when they were trying to get Gus Van Sant on the phone. i think Drama said, "Milk was dope" or something like that. when did that movie come out?? and when was the season 5 finale? i'm not thinking that they got their facts wrong, i was just surprised to hear that.
but! i think they did get something wrong, actually. there was some line when Ari and Stellan Skarsgard were fighting and one of Ari's comeback lines was, "well, he's made a movie with an Oscar winning American director!!" and then Stellan said, "yeah, he played an underwater superhero," or something like that.
and i thought, "hm, they must be talking about James Cameron, who is in fact CANADIAN. bam!
AND ALSO: this is something that i was REALLY excited about. and i think my mom will be really excited about also.
i have for you, some screencaps from the season 5 finale of Entourage. let's take a look, shall we?
These two scenes feature Vince (sitting) and his best friend and manager Eric (standing). they are in Queens, NY sitting on the steps of Vince's mom's house.
BUT THAT MUG THAT VINCE IS HOLDING - my mom has the exact same one. and she's had it forever. like, forever. for some reason i'm thinking she got it when my sister was in 1st grade. which was like......13 years ago. maybe that's wrong. BUT, not only has she had it forever, but she uses it EVERY night for her tea. this is a true story.
i couldn't believe it when i saw it. i even paused the dvd and said outloud, "omg no way!!" it was great. i was really happy to see that my mom, and Vince's mom have the same mugs. because, i'm assuming it's Vince's mom's.
anyways. enough about Entourage.
the rest of my night at work was fine. i just did some logging and updated the behavior charts. tough work. didn't get into any more arguements, which was good. we'll see how the morning goes.
but, i meant to tell you about this really creepy thing that i experienced this morning.
so, my alarm was going off and i sat up in bed. i pulled my covers back, and something caught my eye. my curtain was blowing by the window. like, something or someone had just brushed up against it.
and i thought, "it must be Ruby Tuesday." but, then i looked in the hall and she was sitting there taking a bath.
and then i thought, "hm, well it must have been a tiny breeze from when i pulled my covers off." because, i was in a hurry to get out of bed and shut off my alarm clock. and so i tried to recreate the scene. like, getting up really quickly. and nothing i did to my sheets even made the slightest breeze to move my curtains.
and, they're pretty heavy curtains. they don't look it, but they are. so, i don't have an explanation for as to why there seemed to be someone brushing up against my curtains this morning. but, i was scared for a moment. and then decided that i shouldn't be scared. so, i wasn't.
and that's my creepy story for the day.
in other news, did everybody hear that Nicki Richie had her baby?!!? it was a little boy. they named him Sparrow James Midnight. i like that name a lot. i really like Midnight.
and, i read this short thing comparing this name with the name of their baby daughter, Harlow Winter Kate. and it was actually really interesting. it said:
“After Nicole and Joel gave their daughter the inventive name Harlow Winter Kate, there was much anticipation about what they would come up with for their second child — and they didn’t disappoint with their new son’s name, the equally unusual Sparrow James Midnight.
The two names have a perfect almost twin-like symmetry, one being ultra-feminine and the other very masculine. Sparrow has in the past been used for girls, but since the dynamically male appearance of Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean, it’s taken on a swashbuckling pirate persona — while Harlow projects Old Hollywood feminissima glamour.
Both have traditional middle names — James and Kate — as well as a second dramatic, time-related name, with the darkness of Midnight contrasting with the whiteness of Winter. (They also reflect the growing trend for double middle names.)"
i read that on Celebrity Baby Blog, and it was from an interview with Linda Rosenkrantz, who is the co-owner of Nameberry, which is the best baby name site.
but, i just thought that was really interesting to read. especially the part about the time-related middle names, Midnight and Winter, and how they contrast each other with dark and light.
i hope one day i'm famous enough to have my baby's name analyzed on Nameberry.
ALSO! i'm very excited for Ioan Gruffudd and his wife Alice Evans (no relation, sadly). they just had a baby girl!!!! and they named her Ella Betsi. of course we know and love Ioan from his gripping performance of 5th Officer Lowe in James Cameron's Titanic. and also as Mr. Fantastic.
and! Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley are adopting a baby girl from Korea!
wow. what a great week for celeb babies.
anyways. i'm feeling pretty tired. so, i'm gonna head to bed. and not forget about my tour of the Birthing Pav that i have today. i have no idea when we are leaving for that. but, i'm sure i'll figure it out.
alright! hope you're having a great day!!! i'll talk to you soon!
<3
sinking into the lava. can't keep myself from going under.
man oh man. i am declaring this the week of argue. i don't like arguing with people. and this week i've done it TWICE! so lame.
anyways. there are like, flies everywhere. it's gross.
i'm tired tonight. i'm working, also. btw. 3:30-10pm baby.
went to sleep last night around 4:30am. woke up at 6:45am. downstairs by 6:55am. work until 9am. i wore my fancy sweat pants because i wanted to look nice. hehe.
slept from 9:30am-1:45pm. i was supposed to get up at 1pm. but, i didn't. and i would have kept on sleeping if Ruby Tuesday hadn't awoken me by licking my arms. she was ready for breakfast.
so i got up. fed her. she went right back to sleep. i had some waffles. watched Veronica Mars. ooo so good! so much drama.
and then tonight is the big Entourage night. oh, i'm so reluctant to watch it because i know it's the last one.
this summer i have watched:
- All 3 seasons of Heroes
- All 5 seasons of Entourage
- Season 3 of Weeds
- Season 1 on Veronica Mars
wow. am i proud of that? you bet. should i be proud of that? ehhh...it's probably debatable.
so, in the near future, maybe later on tonight after i'm finished crying about Entourage, i have a post i want to write. it's a cover song post. i've been really into cover songs lately.
MORE SPECIFICALLY covers that normal folks do on youtube. i really had no idea that people use youtube as such a creative outlet. i think it's pretty cool. and i want to show you all the great covers i have found. so, you should start getting excited right about now. i'm excited about sharing them with you.
ANYWAYS, that will come later.
what i have to tell you about now, is the great day i had yesterday! we're talking about wednesday. 9 september 2009. great day! i hope you all had a great day too.
i woke up at 12:50pm. nice sleep. had some breakfast. watched some Veronica Mars. and then i was thinking about my speakers. and i went onto Best Buy and looked at what they had to offer me. not really impressed. and the cheapest were like, $55. not ideal.
so then i thought, "hm, what about Radio Shack?" i looked up speakers at Radio Shack and was very surprised at what i found!
- 3 piece speaker system for $32! and it had 22 customer reviews, 4.5 out of 5 stars. win!
and! they had a great, "search for this item in your local store" option. great. every every every retail website should have this option. ESPECIALLY Hollywood Video.
so, i got dressed. drove over to my local Radio Shack. i was kind of nervous about going in there. just because it was a store full of electronic things that i generally don't understand/can't afford.
so i walk in and this Radio Shack lady comes over and asks,
RADIO SHACK LADY: Hi, what can I help you find today?
JULIE: (thinks about just looking for the speakers myself....and then decided, ah, what the heck, i'll let her help me.) Hi! Um, I'm looking for some speakers.
RADIO SHACK LADY: Speakers, um, okay. What kind? Like, big ones?
JULIE: Um no, tiny ones. I actually was searching for some online, and found some that I think I like.....(i told her all the information i knew)
RADIO SHACK LADY: Um, ok. Let's see over here....
(we walk over to the speaker section)
RADIO SHACK LADY: I don't really know anything about speakers. I'm new here.
JULIE: That's okay, I don't know anything about speakers either. But, these got really good reviews on your website.
RADIO SHACK LADY: Oh, really!? Wow, that's great.
JULIE: Yeah, that was the deciding point. Um, but what is this other part it comes with?
RADIO SHACK LADY: Um, I think that's the subwoofer.
JULIE: Oh, right...
RADIO SHACK LADY: (turns to other RS employee) Is this the subwoofer?
OTHER RADIO SHACK EMPLOYEE: Well, yeah!
JULIE: Great... Well, I'm just going to get these.
RADIO SHACK LADY: Okay! I'll get the box for you.
she was the best. i COULD NOT have wanted a better or more inexperienced Radio Shack employee. she was perfect. i wanted to be friends with her a lot. if i had a 'let's be friends' business card, i might have given her one. she seemed cool. and we bonded over our cluelessness of electronics. and at one point, i did think for a second, "wait a sec, she should kind of know something about this...." but then decided, "no, i like it better that she doesn't."
so, it was just great. i was so, so pleased with my speaker buying experience.
and i remembered how i felt before going in to buy my memory card for my camera, and then meeting up with all those great Best Buy employees who were so helpful. that was a fun day too.
SO THEN! i was in such a great mood that i thought, "well, i'll just check out the guitar center over here since i'm in the mood for experiencing new things."
i knew of this place called Blue Mountain Guitar Center. i knew about it because it is right next to the Midas i took my car to to get that really, really expensive brake job back in the winter.
so, i headed over. now, i really had no idea what i was in for.
i walk in and it's all these middle-aged guys with long grey hair. now, these guys, were the best guys i've ever met. ever. they were so cool and so incredibly nice.
GUY: Hey, how are you?
JULIE: I'm good, how are you doing?
GUY: Pretty good. Can I help you with something?
JULIE: Yeah, that'd be great. So, I have this guitar, and I've had it forever, but I don't know how to play it. So, I guess what I'm looking for, is a really basic, beginner book.
GUY: Do you have the guitar with you?
JULIE: No..
GUY: Ok. You might want to bring it in sometime just so we can take a look at it to make sure it's still in good condition and everything.
JULIE: Alright.
GUY: But, let's take a look at some of the books we have....
and we go over to the books section.
GUY: What type of music do you like?
JULIE: Uhh....piano-folk-rock...music...
GUY: Great! Because, that's important to know so you can pick a book with songs that you'll actually want to play. So, what I would do, is spend a couple of minutes over here, take a look through the books, and see what jumps out at you. Maybe there's something in this book that connects with you more than in that book, ya know?
JULIE: Yeah, sounds great. Thank you so much.
he was great. and i found a book that i liked. it came with a CD. i was excited about that. and it was only $10.95! i believe it is of the Hal Leonard variety.
so then i needed some picks, because i couldn't find my box of picks at home last weekend. so i go over to a different counter and talk to a different guy.
JULIE: Hi! I am looking for some guitar picks.
GUY 2: Okay, do you want (names a bunch of fancy kinds...)?
JULIE: Um, just normal kind...?
GUY 2: Alright, over here.... so we have thin, medium, and thick.
then he explained all the brands and prices.
JULIE: What is the difference between playing with the different kinds of thickness?
GUY 2: It depends on the type of sound you want. (and then he explained it all.)
JULIE: Hm. Well, I think i'll just get one of each!
GUY 2: Sounds great.
he was awesome. those guys were so nice and so easy to talk to. i want to work there. i almost asked how much the drum sets were. but, i didn't. because i remembered that i don't actually know how to play drums.
so! i left the store with a great book, and three great picks. i was so happy. in such a great mood. and then i listened to a great Jonas Brothers cover song (that i will post for you later) the whole ride home.
it was such a great day.
and then i got home and set up the speakers. i had to google, "subwoofer" to try and figure out what it was.
so, a few weeks ago, i was riding in the van with the two residents. and, they were blasting their Eminem music and so we got to talking about hip hop and rap and such things. and then one of them said,
RESIDENT: My boyfriend has the best car. He's got these huge subs in the back. It's so awesome.
and, i'm thinking, "what the heck does he have subs in his car for?" and i kept thinking, "sandwiches? submarines?" and THEN, after probably a good 45 seconds of trying to figure it out, i was like, "ohhh wait a minute, she means subwoofers." and i knew it was a music thing, but didn't know what it did.
so, i looked it up yesterday. now i kind of know. but not really. it's just this little box that sits on the floor. and it's like a personal speaker for the bass. i think.
the speakers are quite nice. i am very happy with them. nothing fancy. i simply just wanted to replace the decent ones i had, and i did that. but, i guess they seem like kind of an improvement because of the sub. but, whatever.
and the first song i played on them was, 'Microphone' by Coconut Records, because i think i mentioned that that was the song most affected by the non-working speaker. and it sounded great!! i was happy.
and then i played guitar for a while! with my new book! i learned the first two strings. i can play Ode to Joy. and "Spanish Theme." oh, and "Untitled." it's pretty great.
and then i talked to my mom on the phone for a while and that was great too.
had supper. watched Veronica Mars.
Ruby was doing this thing last night where she would jump up on the counter and cry really loud. and then i would go see what was wrong, and she would climb up onto my shoulder. this happened three times.
and she had some tortilla chips on the floor with me. i really like sitting on the floor and eating. in the kitchen. i do that a lot. i'll sit on the floor and eat chips and salsa. or, crackers. it's nice.
OK. it's 8:41pm. thursday night. i've got some work to do before i head back upstairs to home. so, i'm gonna do that.
TOMORROW I CAN'T FORGET THIS. and i keep forgetting about it. i have a tour to go to at 3pm of the Birthing Pav at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. The Birthing Pavilion. i'm pretty excited because i've never been there before. and also because i now have a reason to say "Pav" again.
remember the "Party on the Pav" that Kerianne and i helped planned?!!? we had a ribbon cutting!!!! best party on the pav ever.
OK. go do your work so that you can go upstairs.
i guess it's been kind of a rough night. i'm definitely not on the good side of one of these girls. haha. i called upstairs to check and make sure she was doing her chore,
JULIE: Hi...is this Girl 1?
GIRL 2: No, this is Girl 2. Want me to get her?
JULIE: Yes please.
GIRL 2: GGIIRRLL OONNEEE!!!!
GIRL 1: (in the background) Yeah?
GIRL 2: Julie's on the phone.
GIRL 1: UUUGGHHHH.
i just had to laugh to myself. teenagers, right? right. she'll be fine in the morning.
alright. NOW it's time for me to do some work. i'll talk to you later. have a great rest of the night!!!
<3
09 September 2009
"i've got a cyanide capsule in a false tooth. if i'm caught, i'll do the honorable thing."
another great one from VM.
OMG, how much do i LOOOOOVE Veronica Mars and her super cute sheriff boyfriend Leo?!!? he is adorable. and at first i totes thought that he was the E-String Killer, but he wasn't. spoiler. and i was super happy because i wanted them to be together. aahhhh loves it.
but, i totally cried my eyes out in the episode before. one of VM's friend's mothers supposedly jumped off a bridge and killed herself, but they never found a body, so her friend believed that she was still alive. and, everybody pretty much knew she was dead. but her friend really wanted VM to try and find her. so, she took on the case. and throughout the whole episode i was kind of thinking that it would be a twist at the end and the mom would actually be alive. but, then they find these kids who have this video tape of this movie they shot by the bridge his mom jumped off of. and, they slow down the tape and you can see something falling off the bridge.
omg, i started crying so hard. i was so sad. and it wasn't like when i cried during Entourage last week. those were tears of, "Ari might not be Vince's agent anymore!!" these were tears of, "he doesn't have a mother!!"
basically it's a constant emotional rollercoaster in my apartment.
AND OMG - Leighton Meester was in an episode!!! and it was awesome. it was a good one where she charged her teacher with sexual harrassment. but, she was the "gossip queen" of their high school.
but, what's funny is, Leighton Meester is on GOSSIP GIRL with KRISTEN BELL WHO IS Gossip Girl!!!!!! it was brillz.
anyways. i had such a great day today. i'm going to wait until tomorrow to tell you about it, though. (tomorrow meaning, thursday) i'm working 8-9am and then again 3:30-10pm. and, it's 3am. and i want to get up semi-early so i can eat breakfast and watch my one more VM so i can mail back the disc.
i am sooooo getting my money's worth of Netflix this month.
and, today, i received my final disc of Entourage. and it was very bittersweet because it was the ruggedly handsome USPS worker who handed me the discs. and, i was so happy that it was him because he's so ruggedly handsome. but yet, he was handing me my final disc of Entourage. after this, i won't see the boys again until they release season 6 on dvd! that could be like, months!
hey! today i was busy doing nothing and thought to myself, "i've never seen the 'When Did Your Heart Go Missing' music video! i'll watch it." (that's Rooney, duh) so, i watched it. and it really got me thinking about music videos in general.
how do people see music videos? do they still play them on television? i was thinking about TRL. which, is no longer on, right? and then i was thinking about all those crap crap crap shows they play on MTV and VH1. like, why don't they devote time to music anymore? i feel sad about that. i used to watch TRL. i even went and stood outside the studios in NYC. (saw Vince Vaughn.) i was excited about music videos.
but seriously, how do people see music videos? is it only online? i mean, i guess the only music video i can recently remember being excited for it's release was from Coconut Records. but like, what about Britney? how do people see her videos? like, Womanizer. that was a totes hott video. did it premiere online? does anybody know this? i feel like i'm going in circles. let me put it simply:
DO THEY SHOW MUSIC VIDEOS ONLINE ANYMORE?!
question of the day.
and now, you must go watch the 'When Did Your Heart Go Missing' video. it's basically Rooney at a dance party on the beach. and, a special appearance by Robert's mom, Talia Shire.
and i'm totally in love with Rooney's drummer, Ned. he's got the best curly hair. loves it. and he's quite handsome.
ANYWAYS.
3:27am. maybe i'll try and go to bed now. i have to be up at 6:45. i can't forget that.
anybody else download iTunes 9.0 tonight? crazy. 9.0. they should make all the songs free on the day it turns 10. what a great idea!
ok. i do have lots to tell you about. but, i will at a later time.
i just got excited!!! for what?? i don't know!!!! but, i'm excited all of a sudden.
i'm wearing a new outfit combination tomorrow. i just came up with it the other day. i'll let you know how it goes.
OK! loves you. have a GREAT day!!!!!
<3
HEEEEY!!!!!!!!! IT'S ANDREW'S BIRTHDAY TODAY!!!!! that's why i am excited!!!!!!
happy birthday andrew!! i wish you all things wonderful. <3

08 September 2009
"you are so lucky he's your dog. i would immediately put him in a little sailor's outfit."
best quote from Veronica Mars ever. i laughed so hard. K. Bell is so funny. i'm only on, like, episode 9, or something, but i've definitely noticed the show getting funnier.
and i just finished watching an episode and guess who was in it?!! Aaron Samuels from Mean Girls! he's a cutie.
so, i got back into bed this morning at 9:15. took me a while to get back to sleep. i had read in the staff log that our staff meeting was moved from 12:30 to 1pm. so, i set my alarm for 12 noon.
alarm goes off. i hit snooze. back to sleep. alarm goes off. what the heck, i hit snooze again. alarm goes off. it's 12:20. so, i get up. check my phone. one new voicemail. "hi julie, this is just to let you know that our staff meeting has been moved back to 12:30." aw crap.
so, i immediately put on my electric tea kettle to start making tea. i blindly grab clothes and put them on. my slept-in ponytail will do just fine. bronzer up my face. tea is made. put some food in Ruby's bowl. BAM out the door.
and i'm early! the beauty of living above your workplace. staff meeting was fine.
so, my early morning started off to a "little riff" is how i put it, i believe. to elaborate a bit more, here is what i came downstairs to this morning. let me sum it up in one sentence:
"i don't have anything to wear so i'm not going to school!!"
teenagers, right? i mean, forserious?!? it was super stressful at the time. and i got into a pretty good sized argument about this. but, it ended well. i got her to go to school, finally. and, looking back on it, it's pretty freaking funny.
the drama just never ends. never. and, i have a feeling that things are going to start to get pretty busy around here. it's been pretty easy breezy all summer. but, in the next couple weeks we're going to have a mother move in here with her 7 month and 18 month baby girls. and this should be right around the time the new baby will be born. yikes! zero to three babies in a month.
anyways. what else.
i told you i finished The Old Man and the Sea.
i have the night off tonight. my boss is sleeping over in the office. and what does this mean!?!?!? i don't have to get up in the morning!!!!!! that's the best part.
so, my night will be pretty crammed full of Veronica Mars and snuggling with Miss Tuesday.
last night i was throwing her pink mouse around and she was going crazy over it. i throw it, and she brings it back to me. i throw it, she brings it back. this can go on all night. so, this morning i came back home from work and the pink mouse was right inside the door. i smiled at this. and then went back to sleep. went to staff meeting. came back from staff meeting and the pink mouse was on my bed! i don't know how it got up there. but, i laughed to myself.
so i'm very excited for my Netflix week. ok. so tonight, i have 3 episodes of Veronica Mars to watch. then i can mail that disc tomorrow.
tomorrow i will get another disc of VM PLUS a disc of Entourage! so, it will take me two nights to watch all that wonderfulness. AND THEN, buy that time, i should have MY NEXT disc from Netflix!!
i am so excited about this. i could get more VM, but i am either thinking of finishing up season 3 of Weeds. OR getting Rudo y Cursi. the movie with Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna. i'm pretty excited about seeing it.
but, this is also a bittersweet week in my Entourage watching. the disc i get tomorrow, will be my last. and then i have to wait for them to release the next season. when i realized this this morning, i was pretty sad. i couldn't believe it. i am going to miss all my new friends at HBO.
so, something weird kind of just happened.
i was listening to a cover of Jesus, Etc, and then all of a sudden i hear 'West Coast.' and i'm like, "what's going on right now?" and i look across the room and it's my cell phone alarm going off. it was from last night when i had set my alarm for 8pm in case i fell asleep while reading.
so, i shut off the alarm (after i listen to it, of course) and then get this notification that i have 3 missed calls and 2 new messages. and i'm like, "what the what?! where did all this come from?!" so, i look at it, and i got a phone call at the exact time my alarm was going off. so, that was weird. but, i also got a phone call at 7:15pm tonight. which, doesn't make any sense because i was right here. i literally haven't left my couch in like, 2 hours.
and then, i also got 2 text messages, which i also didn't hear arrive. it was a huge caddywonker of messages which i wasn't expecting. kind of strange.
in our staff meeting today, the director of the program used the word 'caddywonker' and it was pretty great. it gave us all a good laugh because nobody had heard it before. and then we all wrote it down because it was such a funny word. and he used it in a normal sentence and then just kept talking and we were all like, "wait a sec, what did you just say?!"
it reminded me of the part in Notting Hill when he says, "whoops-a-daisy" and then Julia Roberts makes fun of him. haha. that part rocks.
anyways, go and spread 'caddywonker' around this great country. it means like, mess. tangled. "all caddywonkered up" would also work.
haha. go enjoy it. make up new meanings.
so, i think tomorrow i might go out and start to price some speakers for my laptop. my old ones, which i've had since i was a sophomore in high school and got for free, are definitely on their way out. one of them just doesn't work. and the other one is pretty iffy.
i had my ipod hooked up to them the other night and it was on shuffle, and 'Microphone' by Coconut Records started to play. and i was in the kitchen and i didn't even recognize it! like, it started to play and i thought, "what the heck song is this?" and i stopped what i was doing and listened and then he started singing, so i knew what it was. but, it was weird. that song is the most affected by the non-working speaker. it makes it sound like a totally different song.
which, i guess is also cool, because i've actually noticed things in other songs that i haven't noticed before. like, cool background parts, or whatever. but, when it comes down to it, i want to hear the normal song.
anyways. speaking of different versions of good songs....
might i strongly recommend that if you like good music, you watch this video!!!! not only does it feature some pretty handsome Rooney members (ned, taylor and robert), but they are singing some classic songs! Lookin' Out My Backdoor by Creedance Clearwater Revival and The Weight by The Band.
Ruby Tuesday just happened to be about to fall asleep on my lap when i played this video. she opened her eyes, turned her head to the screen, and intently watched the whole thing. she really likes watching movies. also, since we recently watched The Princess Diaries, she might have recognized Robert.
but, i don't think you'll be disappointed by the video. Ned has a really great singing voice. and they're all hotties. so, really, what do you have to lose? nothing, really.
anyways. ok. that's all for tonight. or, all for right now. perhaps i'll have something more to tell you in a few hours.
until then, have a great night. enjoy what you are doing. and do what you enjoy! heyhey, look at that. what a great word switch. we should play that game more often.
OK! love you guys. thanks for reading. take care. drive safe. miss you.

your friend
and i just finished watching an episode and guess who was in it?!! Aaron Samuels from Mean Girls! he's a cutie.
so, i got back into bed this morning at 9:15. took me a while to get back to sleep. i had read in the staff log that our staff meeting was moved from 12:30 to 1pm. so, i set my alarm for 12 noon.
alarm goes off. i hit snooze. back to sleep. alarm goes off. what the heck, i hit snooze again. alarm goes off. it's 12:20. so, i get up. check my phone. one new voicemail. "hi julie, this is just to let you know that our staff meeting has been moved back to 12:30." aw crap.
so, i immediately put on my electric tea kettle to start making tea. i blindly grab clothes and put them on. my slept-in ponytail will do just fine. bronzer up my face. tea is made. put some food in Ruby's bowl. BAM out the door.
and i'm early! the beauty of living above your workplace. staff meeting was fine.
so, my early morning started off to a "little riff" is how i put it, i believe. to elaborate a bit more, here is what i came downstairs to this morning. let me sum it up in one sentence:
"i don't have anything to wear so i'm not going to school!!"
teenagers, right? i mean, forserious?!? it was super stressful at the time. and i got into a pretty good sized argument about this. but, it ended well. i got her to go to school, finally. and, looking back on it, it's pretty freaking funny.
the drama just never ends. never. and, i have a feeling that things are going to start to get pretty busy around here. it's been pretty easy breezy all summer. but, in the next couple weeks we're going to have a mother move in here with her 7 month and 18 month baby girls. and this should be right around the time the new baby will be born. yikes! zero to three babies in a month.
anyways. what else.
i told you i finished The Old Man and the Sea.
i have the night off tonight. my boss is sleeping over in the office. and what does this mean!?!?!? i don't have to get up in the morning!!!!!! that's the best part.
so, my night will be pretty crammed full of Veronica Mars and snuggling with Miss Tuesday.
last night i was throwing her pink mouse around and she was going crazy over it. i throw it, and she brings it back to me. i throw it, she brings it back. this can go on all night. so, this morning i came back home from work and the pink mouse was right inside the door. i smiled at this. and then went back to sleep. went to staff meeting. came back from staff meeting and the pink mouse was on my bed! i don't know how it got up there. but, i laughed to myself.
so i'm very excited for my Netflix week. ok. so tonight, i have 3 episodes of Veronica Mars to watch. then i can mail that disc tomorrow.
tomorrow i will get another disc of VM PLUS a disc of Entourage! so, it will take me two nights to watch all that wonderfulness. AND THEN, buy that time, i should have MY NEXT disc from Netflix!!
i am so excited about this. i could get more VM, but i am either thinking of finishing up season 3 of Weeds. OR getting Rudo y Cursi. the movie with Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna. i'm pretty excited about seeing it.
but, this is also a bittersweet week in my Entourage watching. the disc i get tomorrow, will be my last. and then i have to wait for them to release the next season. when i realized this this morning, i was pretty sad. i couldn't believe it. i am going to miss all my new friends at HBO.
so, something weird kind of just happened.
i was listening to a cover of Jesus, Etc, and then all of a sudden i hear 'West Coast.' and i'm like, "what's going on right now?" and i look across the room and it's my cell phone alarm going off. it was from last night when i had set my alarm for 8pm in case i fell asleep while reading.

on. your. mark. get set go.
ok. i'm back. 8:43 in the AM on tuesday. very excited to get back into bed because i'm pretty stuffed up this morning. and my legs are feeling a tad achy. another staff member called out sick this morning. one of our residents is still sick. blahhh.
my bangs are really bothering me this morning.
i just sneezed.
the house alarm went off at 6:15 this morning. Ruby Tuesday got really scared. and normally she just turns over and goes back to sleep. i do think that she's all confused because i've been waking up earlier. she's so hungry all the freaking time.
anyways. morning turned out fine. just a little riff. i don't know if that's the right expression. or, a real expression at all. a little riff? like, a musical term? no. like, a little disruption. an upset in the natural euphoria that is our daily lives here.
anyways. i got into bed last night and couldn't sleep. so, i finished The Old Man and the Sea. it was pretty sad. very lonely. it went from feeling very triumphant to very defeated very quickly. and i felt sad for the old man. but, in the same way, i was happy, because he did not feel sad for himself. and i think in the situation he was in, it would have been very easy to say, "screw this, i'm giving up. i hate fishing and i hate my life." but he didn't. he was like, "ok, here's what went wrong. i know i shouldn't have done this. but i did it anyways. and now i'm paying the price. let's move on. i'm not going to feel sorry for myself." he just seemed like a good person.
and i was so happy to hear that people in Havana were worried about him when he didn't return from his fishing trip. and they sent out search parties. oh! that's a spoiler, i guess. but, it was a good book. you seriously felt like you were the old man standing at the bow of the boat. the writing was very mechanical. but, not in an annoying way. some parts were gross. like when he was gutting the fish and killing the sharks by stabbing them in the brains.
but now i'm on to the next book. i can't decide which one to start first. Everyman. The Corrections. i'll probably read them at the time same. wait. at the same time. at the time same? wow.
Bob and Sheri were talking this morning on the radio about that girl who had been kidnapped by that guy and then made to live in a tent in his backyard while he had sex with her, but was really married. and this went on for like, 18 years or something crazy. you know what i'm talking about.
and so, Sheri was talking about how she can't believe the neighbors didn't realize that there were young children living in tents out there. and how she can't believe that nobody would have thought that strange. like, to never see the kids in school. or, out trick-or-treating. and she was talking about how she always is noticing what her neighbors are up to and what their schedules are.
and i thought, "hey, i'm the same way!" i know the schedule of the people across the street. the nice family. and even just yesterday while i was remember that it was a holiday, i thought to myself, "hm, i wonder if the lady across the street has the day off?" and i went to the window and checked. and her car was there, so i knew that she did.
and i know that the people who live in the house a few doors down have someone who works until around 2am. because they will leave the porch lights on until they come home. and then the lights go out once the car pulls in.
anyways. it's not a creepy thing. it's a safety thing. and i'm glad that Sheri felt the same way and does the same things. it's like an unofficial neighborhood watch. i can see all from the third floor.
and with that, it's 9am. and i'm now off to bed !~~ that was supposed to be more exclamation marks. ah well.
i'll talk to you later! have a great day.
<3
way to start the day
UGH. 7:15am. tuesday morning.
I'M ANGRY. been angry since 6:54am. not a great way to feel so early in the morning.
who would have thought that the first thing i would do this morning is argue with someone!? for serious!?!
whatever. i have to go now. speak to you laterrrr.
07 September 2009
could she be gas-lighting you?
"what's gas-lighting?"
let's see where i left off...
i got into bed with my cup of tea. read some of The Old Man and the Sea. then i got lonely so i whistled for Ruby Tuesday. about five minutes later she came in and jumped on the bed with me. she sat on my lap and got sleepy again.
then i went to go get my phone so i would have an alarm set in case i fell asleep. but then kara started texting me saying that her computer hard drive had died. so then i asked her if her campus has an IT office. she said she didn't think so. but i knew that they probably did.
so, i got out of bed and went to my laptop and googled "johnson and wales computer office" and discovered that they do have a computer helpdesk. it's on the downcity campus.
i texted her back this information. i was happy that i think i helped her.
then. i don't know. i can't remember. i didn't get back into bed.
oh yeah. i remember. i watched some more Rooney video diaries on youtube. i'm happy now because i've seen them all. actually, i'm sad because i'm all caught up. and i really enjoyed them. my favorite was the one where Jason called in and Robert put him on speaker phone. i also like the one where Robert is sitting on his couch with his dog. i am excited for him to make more.
so around 1am i decided i should eat supper because i hadn't eaten since breakfast. and, i had a packet of these garlic shells, or something. and it said that they only cooked in 11 minutes. so, i made those.
but, i didn't have any regular milk. i just had vanilla soy milk. so, i figured, "i've substitued vanilla soy milk in macaroni and cheese and it turned out fine, so it will be fine in this too."
so, it's boiling and boiling. and it's totally not thickening up. and so it's on the stove for like, 15 minutes. and it's all watery.
so i take it off the heat. and it thickens up a tiny bit.
and then i put some in a bowl and begin to enjoy it. and then i realize that it does not taste good at all. like, not at all. it's like this strange vanilla garlic sauce. just really, really bad. but, i keep having bites. and then thinking, "ugh this is terrible." and then not eat any for a minute. and then think, "well, maybe it's not as bad as i remember it." and then take another bite. "ugh this is terrible." minute. "maybe it's not as bad as i remember." this continued for a while. then i put the bowl down and stopped cold turkey.
anyways. now i'm tired. it's 2:28am. i have to be up at 6:45. working until 9. then staff meeting at 12:30. i hope i feel better. i guess i should probably go to sleep.
i'm definitely feeling much better. even since i was in bed reading.
i tuned my guitar. sounds pretty nice now. it was really flat.
ok. i'll talk to you in the morning. at work.
i didn't get my love letter in my email today, but that's alright. there's always tomorrow.
oh, and i got the virus off my computer again. wasn't as hard this time. i hope it doesn't come back.
ok. love. goodnight.

<3
oh she seemed much happier then
it's me. just doing a quick blog.
been doing nothing today. it's labor day. i have been doing no laboring. nada. haven't done a thing. it's the american way. it's the beauty of a day off. i didn't have to wake up early this morning for work.
i went to bed around 2am. woke up at 6:15. i thought i heard the house alarm. but, i didn't. went back to sleep. Miss Tuesday woke me up at 11:45 for her breakfast. fed her. she was very happy. went back to sleep. woke up at 1:15pm. i said to myself, "that was a nice sleep." and i got up.
still not feeling well. stuffy. watery eyes. achy and tired. had a bit of a sore throat. tiny cough.
i'm about to have some tea and get back into bed. probably with my Hemingway. i haven't read it since last week.
i think it's cool out today. that's the feeling i get. i put a second fleece blanket on my bed last night.
it's tough, because i'm super hott when i first get into bed. the air conditioner in my bedroom isn't very powerful. so, it's always really hott at nighttime. and then always super cold in the morning.
i'm just excited for fall. i'm sick of being hott. it's time to wear jackets. i will miss wearing flip flops though. flippies.
i listened to all my lullaby music. Rockabye Baby! this was last night. i forgot how nice it was. and Ruby came into the room and snuggled up in the couch with me and fell asleep under the cushions.
i think she enjoys audio and visual stimulation. there have been a few times where she's come into the room and watched a movie with me. either on my lap, or sat on the floor in front of the tv. it's like, really cute.
she watched pretty much all of Coraline with me. she tried to watch The Princess Diaries with me, but i was laughing too much and she was on my lap and she kept getting mad that i was laughing. and then, i think she watched part of Riding in Cars with Boys with me. i randomly watched that last week.
i had this dream the other night about starting a movie theater that played only tv shows.
because, in my dream, i was really bummed that i couldn't watch the new HBO series Bored to Death starting 20 September at 9:30 because i don't have HBO. but then i heard about this movie theater that was going to be showing the episodes every week. and so i DID get to see it, because i just went to the movies. isn't that great?
so then i woke up and has this big idea to start a whole movie theater like that. and, it would show tons of tv shows, and you would buy a pass based on the show. like, you would come up and say, "Hi, how are you? I would like the 30 Rock pass." and then they would give you this credit card-like-object and you would swipe it every week when you come to watch 30 Rock. and it would be good for the whole season.
and you would not only get the benefit of watching your favorite tv shows on the big screen, but also be able to enjoy them in a room full of people who also love that show. A.K.A. - new friends.
i think it's a great idea. i don't know if it would end up being cheaper than someone just getting cable. but whatever.
but, you could also get more than one tv show. like, come up and say, "Hi, how are you? I would like to buy a pass for 30 Rock, Weeds, and Bored to Death." and then i would say, "wow! great selection! here is your pass."
and see, that person would be enjoying shows frm NBC, Showtime, and HBO. great! lucky them.
anyways. that's my idea. anyone who wants to fund my idea, please get in touch.
also, my horoscope told me today that i would receive a love letter in my email. and, that has not happened yet. so, could someone please get on that?
also, i have to send a tweet to Coconut Records and ask if i can throw my tote in the wash. i can't forget to do that.
also, i'm excited because tomorrow is payday. and i can once again be content knowing that i have money. and also i have to pay Kara back a lot.
and also, one of her roommates met Emma Watson this past weekend.
ok. have a good rest of labor day. i think everyone should go a take a nap. because, that is like the best thing. a nap in the afternoon. and then back to work tomorrow. for me too.
ok. bye. have a good day. take care and drink lots of water. so you don't catch my disease. because that would be lame and definitely not as great as the song.
ok. bed. i mean, bye. i'm going to bed.
bye!

smile. repeat.
a quick one.
- i've got this bad cold. had it since i woke up saturday morning. pretty much sucks.
- the computer virus is back. not a lie. the virus scans are running as we speak. i opened up my laptop to simply look up some Phantom Planet song lyrics. the computer crashed. and all the virus crap started popping up again. at least i knew what to do. i'm just worried that it is unfixable without paying money.
- and i think that Phantom Planet is causing my computer to be haunted.
- on saturday i was in the same city as Emma Watson. and my sister Kara now officially lives in the same city as her. freaking cool, right?
- ok. i'm going to bed to sleep for a long time.

- the computer virus is back. not a lie. the virus scans are running as we speak. i opened up my laptop to simply look up some Phantom Planet song lyrics. the computer crashed. and all the virus crap started popping up again. at least i knew what to do. i'm just worried that it is unfixable without paying money.
- and i think that Phantom Planet is causing my computer to be haunted.
- on saturday i was in the same city as Emma Watson. and my sister Kara now officially lives in the same city as her. freaking cool, right?
- ok. i'm going to bed to sleep for a long time.
