*hates to miss magoo*
so i just saw that the lj-cut in my last post didn't work at all. huh. i've been retarded with those things recently.
anywho....
i am in a good mood today, possibly because i am listening to jason mraz. and i am listening to jason mraz because chris richardson sang "geek in the pink" on american idol last night. he gets infinite points for that. i'm liking the song choices this year, boys. well, ok, not all of them, but chris pulling out that song was pretty much amazing. and blake lewis? love him! last week he sang "somewhere only we know" and this week he sang jamaroquoi, which i have absolutely no idea how to spell. but i love that song! i hope he sticks around for a while, cause he has excellent song choices. my favorite boys so far this season are blake, phil, and chris richardson. i like pretty much all of them, though. well, except sanjaya. ugh. but a lot of them i haven't quite figured out yet. like chris sligh. he's really good performance-wise, but i haven't figured out if he's a dick. i was sucked in last year by taylor hicks, only to find out he was a total douchebag, but i won't be fooled again.
*cue csi:miami theme song*
but seriously, how amazing is simon cowell? i really want to be like him when i grow up. i was laughing so fucking hard at him last night, after brandon roger's performance. brandon was trying to defend his craptastic performace by saying he chose the song because it made him think of his grandmother, and simon tried to remind him that this is actually a singing competition, not a "i love my grandma the most" competition. and of course the entire audience and paula fucking abdul had to be like BOOOO which they do everytime he speaks, and accuse him of being a heartless bastard, or something like that. and then cowell's like "i love puppies, long walks on the beach", etc. hilarious. and then, in a desperate plea for pity votes, brandon gives his dad a birthday shout-out. so then simon's like, "yeah, my mom has a birthday too. in november. happy birthday mom, six months from now." i'm aware that this doesn't sound funny at all, but it really was. i promise.
my life is a sadder place without the jaded journalist in my life. the jaded journalist, as in the guy who wrote the hilarious recaps on the american idol website. i am still baffled that he can just be gone without any explanation. because i have in the past literally peed my pants a little bit while laughing so hard at his recaps. and now i watch the shows, and i find myself wondering what jaded would have to say about certain stuff. but he's gone! sadness. much sadness.
i am in a very movie mood. as in there's a lot that i want to see. i still haven't seen music and lyrics yet, which continues to look adorable. hopefully i'll be able to go see that with gretchen over break. because she loves me. but number one on my list is black snake moan. i don't know why i'm obsessed with that movie, but i am. also, i saw two enjoyable-looking commercials thursday night. in the land of women, starring the one and only seth cohen: adam brody. i love him, so clearly i'll be needing to see this. but it'll be interesting to see if he can pulling off a career playing anything other than seth cohen. but it looks like his character in this movie pretty much is seth cohen. also: disturbia. starring shia labeauf. and i'm pretty sure i spelled his last name wrong, which i really shouldn't because it's french. whatevs. anywho, it's a very rear window/what lies beneath looking movie (both of which i enjoy), and i love shia. that kid's got potential. i say kid like he's not several months older than me. but he'll always be louis stevens to me.
i must rent/purchase half nelson. i am very proud for all the awards ryan is winning for it, even if he didn't get the oscar. but he did bring his mom and sister, which is clearly precious. and he hammed it up when the camera was on him. i just loved the fact that he was there, because that is so not his scene. which is partly why i wanted him to win. his speech would have been amazing. it'll come with time though, he's definitely got a long career ahead of him. but yeah, half nelson looks amazing. and i just want to see every movie ryan gosling has ever been in, because he's amazing.
here are people i'm enjoying right now: justin timberlake, christina ricci, ryan gosling, simon cowell, and the rest of the people on the long list that i compiled in my head earlier while not paying attention in class.
here are the people i'm over already: jennifer hudson, lady sovereign, anna nicole, and whoever else i forgot. my memory sucks.
i want a blog. a column. a job. something. it's all i can think about, it consumes my brain nowadays. and we're getting so close to the time when the safety net goes away. i went to a meeting about foreign study the other day, not actually intending to go anywhere besides france this summer. but hearing all about the program in london made me fall in love. can i afford to go next summer? only if financial aid covers it. but now my mind is cluttered with thoughts of spending my summer in london, with a sweet internship. why intern at some crappy nameless rochester magazine when i can do it up in london? why does money not just grow on trees?
meeting for my france trip the other day. what i learned: we're going bungee jumping. i won't even include adjectives or sassy punctuation here, because it cannot even express how excited i am. that trip is going to be more amazing than i ever could have dreamed.
heard today that katharine heigl might not be renewing her contract for grey's anatomy. i'm going to hope that's a rumor. she can't be that stupid.
oh.
and by the way, i'm an aunt :)
