Nah

Changed my mind.  Took me too long to write my next post and I missed my MTV Movie Awards time slot.  I have come to notice that although sometimes I write about random things that pop into my head, the best posts are ones that involve something that had recently happened or that I've recently enjoyed.  

Recently, I have enjoyed a precious day trip to New York with my family.  More specifically with my mom and sisters.  We went up to see Hair, because my mom has been dying to see it ever since she was 10 and saw it with her original family.  

All the mom wanted to do was see Hair and meet celebrities.  She claimed her only reason for bringing her camera was to take pictures of all the celebs she was bound to see in the magical city.  I could tell her that we were probably not going to see any, but c'mon, I saw Matt Damon when I was walking around once. 

Anyway, score! We got tickets to Hair and then walked around, look

ing for a place to get a mini-meal.  We passed a bunch of other theaters along the way with shows we wanted to see.  Oh right, the Tony's were last night!  I thought Rock of Ages looked cool.  All these fab bands "from the ages."  Also, I recognized Constantine from American Idol in the pictures outside the theater.  Apparently he is the lead.

We found our mini-meal place to eat nearby and grabbed food.  As we were ordering, I saw Constantine from American Idol and asked him if he was Constantine. Apparently he was.  I pretty much just recognized him because I had seen him on the wall at Rock of Ages a second earlier.  My mom, an avid American Idol fan, jumped at her chance to get her picture with a celeb, despite Constantine claiming his non-celebdom, and took like three pictures of us with him.  I blushed for the rest of 

the day.  After all of this, my mother asked me which one he was.  I guess memory really does go with old age.

MTV Movie Awards or Greek? MTV Movie Awards or Greek? MTV Movie Awards or Greek?

After much careful consideration, I have decided that I will discuss last night's Greek right now.  I swear beyond all swears that my next post will be about the MTV Movie Awards though, if only to discuss Miley's shoutout to the GOD.

I figure Greek is more timely, both because it was on last night and I 

watched it today AND because it shamelessly plugged Sims 3 which comes out today even though I am forbidden to get it and want it more than anything.  If I have any

secret fans that worship me from afar, respond to this and I'll send you an address to mail it to me at.

Anyway, the plotlines in this episode involved Casey's newfound loneliness,

Rusty's fledgling relationship with Jordan, Calvin's new gay roomie, and Evan and Cappie's secret society.  Because Casey and Rusty are the main characters, I'll go there (like Degrassi) first.

So Kostos went to London for a little while on some awesome sciency fellowship, leaving Casey sad and alone.  Especially now that she told Cappie that they could no longer be friends.  Unlike me and Rusty, she can't handle the solitude very well, so she tags along on my dear Betsy's date.  Which is at the same restaurant as Rusty's date. Wah wah, she ends up ruining both dates which pisses Rusty off to a whole new level. She keeps up the whole lonely and annoying thing for a while.  And it's pretty convincing because I'm totally annoyed. Ashleigh the Great helps her figure out what's wrong, she talks it out with Rusty, and score, all is well again.

I never wrote about last week, when Rusty and Jordan finally mated (ew, no idea why mated is the verb I chose to use.  Especially since they haven't had sex yet).  But Rusty is totally psyched and chooses to take her on a fab date.  The date has to rival Andy's level of cool, because he "dresses like a popstar."  Nice.  He amps up his game by acting fancy and giving his name as Cartwright, Russell at the restaurant.  It was cute and confused everyone around him.  

I'm glad I finally like Jordan again.  Maybe she almost has a constant character.  The only lame thing she did the entire episode was saying that a special date to her meant sneaking wine coolers into a movie.  C'mon, that isn't special to anyone.  The two of them are taking it semi-slow, so it may be a little while before anything major happens there.  They had all their drama already.

The latest bound-to-happen couple is Calvin and his new roommate Grant.  Who is pretty hot.  Calvin thinks so too, and it's pretty obvious that Grant feels the same way about Calvin.  They stared at eachother shirtless and it was pretty hot.  

Right, But Calvin says it can't happen because the house would feel too awk about it. Calvin is the only person there that Grant is out to so far.  It was actually such a great coming out, because Calvin didn't get it, and then felt super awkward.  But that conversation is bound to alienate watchers, since Calvin said that Entourage is unwatchable.  I'm somewhere in the middle on that one.  Oh, but back to coming out. Even though the house is cool with Calvin being gay, they pretty much agree that more than one gay Omega Chi might make them seem like the gay frat on campus.  Gah, this show is so good at pinpointing the way that I think people probably think and try to behave.

And while I think so much of it is realistic, I have no idea whether or not secret societies exist, or at least exist the way that they do.  Evan and Cappie are douchemoving (fighting) over the same girl again, but back off and apologize once they realize that she is mildly homicidal.  Oh yeah, they found that out during this whole reveal all your secrets deal, which totally wimped out, since they didn't even show Evan and Cappie's secrets.  Pathetic.  

Even though the secret thing didn't follow through, I think the episode did.  And the commercial where Rebecca and Ashleigh were playing SIms 3 totally made any mistakes the show has ever made worthwhile.  Maybe if I ever get Sims 3, I can recreate Ashleigh, and Rebecca, and Casey, and Rusty, and Calvin, and Cappie, and Evan, and Dale, and whoEVER I want.  So cool.  But yeah, I'm never gonna get it.  Until next time, AKA the MTV Movie Awards Post!

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!
