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.
