All and all

It sort of kills me, this whole not writing every day thing.  But I totally have cool things to talk about.  Eventually I'll talk about this week's Greek.  But that will probably have to wait until after the next episode and I'll mesh them.

Two things I want to talk about now.  Prince Eric and Taylor Swift.  Not really them together.  I like them both, but them as a couple doesn't really work for me.  Despite the fact that she completely owns the fairy tale thing in the "Love Story" video.  The two of them just impacted my week and I feel the need to give them some credit.  

I'll start with Prince Eric, because he got there first.  On Tuesday, I went to see The Little Mermaid on Broadway, despite its lukewarm reviews.  I enjoyed it.  But yeah, pretty lukewarm.  But we had awesome seats, right in the front row.  It was on the far right though, so we didn't have the greatest view of everything.  We did have a great view of Prince Eric.  This hottie, Sean Palmer played the lovely Eric.  He had a pretty voice and the most chiseled face I could ever imagine.  No wonder Stanford was so in love with him in the last season of Sex and the City.  It was sort of a Charlotte/Harry relationship, but with less passion.  And he was just so close to me. Maybe 8 feet away.

Taylor Swift was only 2 feet away.  Signing autographs and taking pictures.  She did the whole hold the camera out in front of her like on myspace thing.  Adorable.  I have some pictures from my phone, but can't find my phone right now to upload them.  I didn't get a picture with her or an autograph because these douchenozzles standing in front of me hogged all her time.  But I wasn't actually mad at the time because I was so thrilled to be in her presence.  In the rain.  

Actually, her hair looked amazing despite of the rain.  And her dress was all cool and sparkly.  With a really cute coat.  My sister described the experience on Seventeen.  Probably better than I could, but I might as well try.  Taylor sang "Love Story" before everything else, but then the music stopped as she was singing and she got super-confused.  Turns out it was just a sound check, but she rocked it anyway.  

She sang "Love Story" again when the show started, with all the same choreography.  It sounded amazing live, but when I watched it on DVR later that day, it wasn't nearly as good.  Weird how that works.  Then she sang "You Belong With Me," which is her biggest hit now, thanks to the extreme hotness of her video costar.  After that she sang "Teardrops on my Guitar," because it was her first hit.  But apparently that wasn't even on tv.  She just played that while they were airing news.  They did air her final song.  Which she didn't plan on performing.  She played "Our Song" and it was completely incredible.  Apparantly, she was only supposed to do three songs, so it was a fab surprise.  For us all.  Since I got 5 songs.

My favorite part was when she talked to Al Roker and Matt Lauer and the lady.  They asked her why she doesn't rebel by drinking or smoking.  She replied by saying that rebelling doesn't equal getting wasted for her.  It's writing totally honest songs and putting people's names in them.  Those people don't really talk to her anymore.  She was just so adorable, I don't see why they wouldn't want to talk to her.  I guess Drew, Cory, Stephen, and Joe aren't too thrilled about the publicity.

THE END

I Miss You, Blog

I haven't written hear in a while.  It's totally sad. Maybe I should blame it on the three- day birthday festivities.  Okay, done, blamed.  Now, I know that I didn't do a Greekap this week, but that's because I haven't watched it yet.  I'm gonna go watch it now, so bye.

BroHood

The other day I wrote about Calvin hitting on a quasi-straight guy on Greek.  I forgot to mention the best part.  Calvin went on a mini rant on how it's so hard to tell who is gay in this society with all the metrosexuals (Zac Efron; I still maintain he likes girls) and bro movies (Jason Segel; I know their are others but I think he is the best bro).  

I never thought about it, but Calvin is totally right.  If I can still believe that a guy who wears his hair like Zac Efron or who wears pants like Kevin Jonas is straight, than imagine how off-kilter gadar must be.

In the pilot episode of How I Met Your Mother, there is a hilarious little bit when Barney is telling Ted that he doesn't have to wait for a signal to kiss a girl.  He demonstrates this by kissing Marshall with no warning (see, I told you Jason Segel was the best bro).  Now, it's still not totally normal for bros to kiss, but it also isn't totally outlandish.  Even though people def gasped when they saw Barney kiss Marshall, since most people watched it after NPH had already came out.  

I have been going to overnight camp since pre-puberty, and I have seen the most touchy-feely guys imaginable.  They hold hands, snuggle, and occasionally (every day) shower together.  Yet, no one thinks they are gay, because it's normal for them.  How is Calvin supposed to determine who to hit on when his gadar is going off in every possible direction.  

Truthfully, I think bro hood is a pretty cool advancement, because it shows people who aren't afraid to be miscontrued as gay.  Paul Rudd even talks about how he is like one step away from being completely homosexual in an interview in Entertainment Weekly. But it's gotta be hard on the Calvins of the world.

Park It

Today, it was warm and sunny, so my best and I decided to be super cute and picnic in the park.  I hate using picnic as a verb.  I don't know why I did it.  Anyway, we got supplies to make turkey sandwiches, hummus and dipping material, and I made a cute/fab fruit salad.  

We gathered all the food supplies, plus the rest of the supplies (ie frisbee, giant ball, whatever) and drove to a big park a few miles away.  It was gorgeous.  There was this big pond with fountains, giant green fields with disgusting geese, and a taller plateau with no geese or goose poop, all underneath the clear blue New Jersey sky.  So we sat there.  And ate our delicious picnic.  

But for some reason, we got crazy full really quick and had to lay down and digest before we could do the whole adorable frisbee thing.  I'm guessing the laying out in the hot sun is where I got my vicious, yet really cute on me, sunburn.  

So eventually we managed to do the whole frisbee and throwing the giant ball around thing for like an hour, but they both kept rolling down the sides of the plateau, so it was sort of problematic. Especially since I have no aim or skill and kept throwing the frisbee/big ball in the complete wrong directions.  

All in all, it was like the cutest day two lame girls with no money in South Jersey can possibly have.  I would highly recommend.  But go to a different park, because I like the space.  

The Greekap

One time last month, I watched Greek once at 8:00 and another time at midnight and took notes the second time around.  That was the most intense I ever went for the Greekap.  Usually, I do watch the episode more than once, but the note-taking took it to a new level.  This time, I missed the Monday night showings of Greek.  Weirdly enough, I went out and semi had a life.  Very uncharacteristic.  

Anyway, so I had to DVR my episode 

of Greek, choosing to record it over Gossip Girl, which I plan to find online as soon as I finish writing this.  Anyway, so I watched my episode from the DVR today. After it ended, I muted it and went back to watching the season finale of Grey's Anatomy on abc.com (god I watch too much tv, but also, I'm dying to talk about this episode so IM me if you have watched it).  And as it turns out, my DVR replays whatever you watch if you don't press anything on the tv for too long. I guess I waited too long, because the episode of Greek played two more times.  And I definitely watched it a little bit.  Three times now.  That has gotta be at least a little more intense.  Especially since it ended again and it likely to start up at any minute.  

Well, now that I have written this much, I am less inclined to discuss the episode.  I'm just gonna do a few short bits.  

I love Calvin.  So so much.  I was so glad the writers decided to give him a new storyline, because watching him avoid Evan, sit near Rusty, and give advice on how to be gay to Rebecca.

But this week he was all interesting.  He first gave the gay advice to Rebecca and went 

on his merry way.  To the gym.  Where some hot guy scammed on him.  Calvin took the

bait and went to chat up said hottie.  

PS the episode just started again.  

The guy complimented Calvin's pecs and kept lifting up his own shirt to show off his mild variation on a six-pack.  Anyway, to make a short story shorter, the two go out, Calvin tries to kiss, him and the guy is like whoa I'm straight.  Calvin is of course horrified and scampers.  The story could have ended there.  But instead Calvin went total baller and confronted the guy.  I would call him by his name, but I have no recollection of it.  Calvin told the guy off for leading him on when he was fully aware of what he was doing.  The guy owned up to it and it was pretty cool and admirable. The end of that storyline.

On to the Rebecca is a lesbian storyline.  She was really funny when she came out. Now she is all iffy about it.  Like "oh no, kissing girls isn't as fun as kissing boys."  But in different words.  Anway, she decided that she wasn't gay and broke it easy to the girl she was dating.  Who was like whatever, I'm used to lugs.  Which is a growing term meaning lesbian until graduation.  Greek is totally up on their cultural references.  

There are only a couple of other things I want to talk about this week, even though there was a lot more  One is how Ashleigh had such a notable absence from the episode.  Casey and Rebecca going to eachother for advice was so awkward.  Which they played very well.  So again, pats on the back to all.  

Other thing to mention, Cappie and Evan get back together.  Not at all corny.  It was really great actually.  They weaned us into it throughout the season, so it wasn't a total jump and they handled it really well.  Also, they rebonded in front of Dean Cameron From Ferris Bueller.  

Anyway, I can't wait to see what's next, because I really want Jesse McCartney to come back and I really want to see Casey and Cappie rekindle.  Because now that Max is abroad, even though it's only for like a month, I think he is sort of a part of the past.  

Later y'all!

Lukiss

I am not making a lame play on the name Lucas.  Well, I am, but I didin't come up with it and all its lameness.  I'm just the replayer.  Hannah Montana is the original culprit. Second season, Lilly was dating a cute boy named Lucas (Sterling Knight!!), and when Miley found out Lucas was cheating on her dear Lilly, she yelled at him and called him "LuKiss every girl in school!"  Ouch, she so got him.

But then the other day, I was Hannah Montaning again, this time the movie (third time around), and all I could think was Lukiss.  This time about Lucas Till, who plays Miley's boytoy in Hannahmovie.  He doesn't act very well, but the smile on him makes him a guaranteed star.  Seriously, if you see him in Tay Tay's newest video, you will actually just melt. Maybe.  At least I did.  I would make another pun about Lukissing him, but I already made a joke about kissing Jordan Catalano in a different post and I don't want to become an imaginary ho.  

Ooooh but I totally do want to kiss him!  He is like 18, so it's totally legal and not even too weird.  And even though his kiss with Miley in the movie was totally lame (shut up, I'm not giving away anything you didn't know was coming), he and Taylor make the cutest couple possible and their film kiss is precious. If I can't have him, I want Taylor to have him.

The hippest of the pop

After I wrote that last post, I proceded to watch the entire season of Rockville CA, because it was moderately awesome. The main character, Hunter (Fisher from Greek, do I sense a trend with thes names?), mentioned Gossip Girl in one of the episodes and I was like "Ah! Show crossover!  Josh Schwartz, I love you!"  

Oh and going along with show crossovers, my sister told me that if the Lily show, supposedly going to be called Lily, which I think is supremely lame, gets picked up, young Sandy and Kirsten Cohen might show up!!!!!  I wanted to put more exclamation points to show how excited that makes me.  I love them both SO MUCH.  And Kirsten definitely was in SoCal in the 80s.  I'm not sure about Sandy.  Seth was definitely born in '88, since he graduated high school the same year I did.  And I think Sandy and Kirsten were pretty young when he was born. So, yup, young adults in SoCal in the 80s!  

But back to Rockville.  OC alum/Privileged proprieter Michael Cassidy, who played Zach in second season of The O.C. showed up.  He was a douche, which is something I don't really see in him.  Even though I didn't like him on The O.C.  Not because he was bad, but because I wanted Summer to be with Seth.  

Also, Holly's boyfriend, Henry, from What I Like About You was on my new internet hit. I have seen him in something else too, but my mind is blanking.

I really also wanted to write about Veronica Mars because I just finished watching the

entire show, and now I'm upset it was cancelled. It may not have been at its

peak when it went under, but it was still a good show. In one of the episodes, Paul Rudd guest starred.  In another, they made a great in-joke about Rob Thomas from Matchbox Twenty vs. Rob Thomas, VM creator.  And Kristen Bell was fantastic.

The connection between VM and RCA?  Ryan Hansen.  I don't hate him anymore, because since he always plays the douche character, it makes it more believable that he knows what he is doing.  Also, Rockville CA does this brilliant thing, where all of the other characters simply call Ryan Hansen's character "the Douche."  

The end.

Rockville CA

I never ended up writing a Greekap this week.  On the bright side, I'm fairly certain that no one cares.  I'll give it a quick once over anyway.  Rebecca declared that she is a lesbian and again, nobody cared.  I kinda thought that she was doing the whole she doesn't care what gender a person is thing, but alright, lesbian it is.  Um, nothing else exciting happened. 

Today, I desperately wanted to write about "The Climb," because I love it 

and it's on the radio all the time, but something suddenly came up (The Brady Bunch Movie reference).  I decided to continue on my quest to get into online shows.  I started with The Clark and Michael Show, then moved on to Quarterlife, starring Scott Michael Foster, or as I prefer to call him, Cappie.  But he also played Doug Wilson's gay son, Josh, on Weeds. Today I went for Josh Schwartz's new work of art, Rockville CA.  

I love Josh Schwartz. He based Seth Cohen off of himself, introduced me to the wonderful world of self-aware tv, and the indulged me with Gossip Girl.  So I had to give his online show a chance.  I only watched one episode so far, but in that episode was Ashleigh's new boytoy, Fisher, from Greek.  And he wasn't playing a hot guy.  I knew he didn't have the hot guy vibe.  I like him, but he doesn't scream sex machine. 

If you want someone who screams sex machine, wait an extra two minutes for Matt Cohen to show up.  Most generic Jewish name of all time?  Yes.  That and Josh Schwartz.  But it's a name I remember, because despite the fact that 90% of the people I know have very similar names, he stars as Aidan on South of Nowhere, the most interesting take on homosexuality I have ever seen. He is like insanely hot. Too hot. It's like how I feel about Sean Faris.  He is like almost too hot to look at.  But like his name, he is more of a generic kind of hot.  I could easily see him as an Abercrombie model. Just like another Josh Schwartz star, Chris Carmack.

According to IMDb, another South of Nowhere alum is coming to Rockville. Mandy Musgrave, who

plays Ashley on the N's edgiest show is set to show up somewhere along the line.  She is so pretty.  No wonder Betsy from Greek plays her sister on South of Nowhere.

Ah pretty people.  On one episode of Party Down, Ryan Hansen's character was explaining how he acts, models, and is in an "up and coming" band.  Basically

being professionally handsome someone on the show comments.  I don't find him particularly attractive, but he was a hot, popular guy on Veronica Mars (Dick Casablancas), and is apparently set to appear on Rockville CA.  I purposely chose a picture where he looks moronic, but it's actually how he looks so my not being attracted totally makes sense.  Leave the attractiveness to Matt Cohen.  And maybe to Fisher.  He isn't bad looking, just not totally hot.

I didn't see any other names on the list, but hey, I didn't know Fisher's real name either, so it's very likely that more of my TV pals will show up along the way.  And I'm sure to report it.

Check it out if you want.  But don't if you don't want to, because that's dumb.

Lil Bit o Greek

The title has nothing to do with what I'm about to write, except that I have been thinking about that since I started writing my Greekaps.  

I only finished the episode a few seconds ago.  I haven't even gotten to scenes for next week yet.  But I wanted to start immediately because they made one of my favorite jokes yet.  

Here it goes:

Rusty: I kissed Jordan.

Cappie: Who? Michael Jordan?  Jordan Knight?  Jordan Catalano.  Don't tell me that you kissed Andy's Jordan.

Rusty: I wish that I kissed Michael Jordan.  No it was Andy's Jordan.

I'll put up the rest of the Greekap tomorrow.  I just couldn't hold in my joy over that exchange for another second.  Especially because I wish I kissed Jordan Catalano.

Four Tabs

I love that browsers have tabs these days.  It used to be so annoying to minimize a page every time I wanted to see another.  Now I can just "command T" and I got my new page up.  

Right now I have four pages up.  One is to write this blog entry, one has season 3, episode 14 of Buffy on Hulu, one is Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, also on Hulu, and one is the latest episode of Party Down.  Three different shows up at the same time. 

Why would I do that?  Why couldn't I just pick one and stick to it?  It's not like the shows don't entertain me.  I really like them all, but my attention span just isn't loving the idea of 44 minutes of the same.  I guess it's good that I opted out of watching a movie.

The problem with Netflix is that if I leave it paused for too long, the player shuts off. So I have to make sure that I flip back to Party Down more often than I flip to the others.  But I don't always want to flip to that.  I like to see where my currently distracted brain wants to go.  Does it want the wise-cracking, uber violent high schoolers?  Or would it prefer to watch the adorably evil Neil Patrick Harris sing a duet with the obstetrician from Waitress (Nathan Fillion, I know his name, but I'd rather project the imagery of NPH singing with the OB)?  Alas, I keep returning to Starz newest project, directed by Kevin Arnold.  Kevin Arnold is fictional.  Sorry.  Fred Savage.  I still prefer Ben, because Boy Meets World is more my generation than The Wonder Years.  But I think Fred was cuter, plus he was in The Princess Bride.  I don't think I have ever seen Ben in ANYTHING else.  But I still prefer him.  And right now the brain prefers Buffy, but I have to hit Party Down anyway.  Later.

I'm Totally Wigging

For the past week, I have been watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  The show, not the awesomely bad 80s teen movie.  That's actually from the early 90s.  I am watching the second season finale right now, and having a minor moment of panic about what will happen next.  Willow just came out of a coma, Xander has a broken arm, and Cordelia just went to the library to get the tools to help Willow curse Angel.  Plus Spike is working with Buffy.  Just wanted to say that I loved him from the start.  And Buffy's mom just threw her out of the house when she left to go save Giles.  Gah totally freaking out.

Also, I'll write about Netflix next time, Brezel.

The Wedding Greekap

Rebecca kissed a girl and started thinking that she might want to swing the other way. That was a twist I didn't see coming, but I thought it worked.  There is no guy that ever really made her happy and she seemed to be really into the new girl.  That Cappie is into also.  I think they are going to keep going with that angle, because it's kind of cool. Lesbian Rebecca is a character that I could enjoy. 

Max totally freaked me out though.  The proposal seemed imminent.  I have no idea why he would want to lavalier Casey, since he isn't Greek.  I mean he isn't in the Greek system.  He was Greek in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.  Like, when Evan lavaliered Casey, they had a whole dramatic ceremony with all of Omega Chi present.  And then he gave Casey his house letters.  Max just gave Casey the ZBZ letters.  I totally don't get it. How did he even get those letters?  I also don't get why the ZBZ girls and Frannie weren't more freaked out about the Max turning down a full scholarship at his dream school for Casey.  Ashleigh was freaked out, and that's maybe why I love her. But she was annoying this week.

Rusty was actually cute this week, but Jordan keeps getting worse and worse.  She just kept leading Rusty on, while he tried to stay cool about it.  She asked him to be her date to a wedding, kissed him on the cheek, gave him a lean in, before running away, and then got even worse.  She made some lame line about how she decided whether or not eternal happiness in heaven is worth temporary bliss on Earth.  And proceded to kiss Rusty.  And then run away again.  Um, I thought she decided whether or not it was worth the risk.  She needs to make up her mind and stop destroying Rusty in the process.  It's not like she even calls Jesse McCartney her boyfriend.  She just calls him "the Kappa Tau Pledge I'm Dating."  So it can't reeeally be cheating.  Rusty would probably be the only one in the wrong had he put the moves on Jordan, but he didn't. She kissed him and now I'm mad.  

I think I'm just mad because I was frustrated with the episode.  Jordan was dumb.  And I hate when Dale isn't around because he mixes things up.  And I am anxiously awaiting a new Calvin storyline, because he hasn't had much to do this season.  I think I need to write more posts other than just the Greekaps.  I want to write about Taylor Swift's new music videos because they are awesome and I want to talk about how mad I am that my sister has free passes to the Eric Hutchinson concert on Thursday and isn't taking me.  All in due time.  Until next time!

Uneducated

A few nights ago, I was hanging out with my friend and her boyfriend, just sitting around, showing off my intensive knowledge of 90s music and watching youtube clips, when something shocking happened.  I mentioned something about Seth Rogen in conversation and my friend's boyfriend, Tim, had no idea who I was talking about. 

At first, I presumed he was joking.  I mean, come on, everyone knows who Seth Rogen is.  But after he kept up the "I Don't Know Who Seth Rogen is" jig, I pushed him, to show him that of course he knows who Seth Rogen is.  Come on, he was in Knocked Up and The 40-Year Old Virgin, and Superbad, and all of the most popular comedies of the past 3 years.  How could anyone not know my dear Seth?  Let alone a 23-year old college boy with a decent sense of humor.  

Tim continued testing my limits by admitting to me that he had never seen The 40-Year Old Virgin OR Superbad.  I actually still can't believe it.  I mean, I saw them both in theaters multiple times and own the dvds.  What's worse, Tim googled Seth and didn't even recognize him from pictures.

I got even more aggravated when Girl I Don't Like That My Friends Force Me To Hang Out With tried to show Tim who Seth was by saying that his last movie was Pineapple Express.  Ugh, I'm still annoyed about it.  Come on, Seth had half of the title role in Zack and Miri Make a Porno, Observe and Report JUST came out, and he lent his voice to Monsters vs. Aliens.  Seth is everywhere.  He has clearly been in a movie since last summer.  

I clearly can't expect everyone I talk to to see every worthy movie, I mean, I haven't even seen Casablanca, but missing Seth Rogen?  That's like missing a major cornerstone of this generation.  I finally watched the entirety of The Office because I was tired of missing out.  Apatow is now.  Become a part of it.
