A Collection Of Odd Things, aka My Life
...The guys on my floor have, for reasons inexplicable, decided to build rather large towers out of the red plastic "Hang On Sloopy!" cups they gave everyone when they moved into the tower directly in front of the elevators.
Which of course keep getting knocked down because they're, hey, IN FRONT OF THE ELEVATORS.
Good job, guys.
Some other odd things that have been going on with me recently:
You know that new show about the ego-driven district attorney, "Shark"? Every time I've seen an ad for it, I keep going "There is something really familiar here, and I just can't place it".
Then the other day I was hanging out with a new guildie who also lives on my floor, and who just happened to offhandedly inform me...
James Woods is the voice of Hades from the Disney Hercules movie.
To which I immediately flipped out with realization and went "OMG, HE IS!!!"
Cripes, no wonder it was bugging me.
In related news, I was talking to machi_neko over the weekend, and we had a conversation something like this:
Her: "Hey, did you ever see The Wedding Date?"
Me: "Yeah, I kind of liked it. Why?"
Her: "Well, it was on TV, and I caught just a bit of it. Did you know Jack Davenport was in it?"
Me: "...He was?"
Her: "Yeah, I saw him! For like, a second. I don't know what was going on, but it was definitely him."
Cut immediately to me going absolutely out of my mind for the next few minutes, trying to figure out who the heck Jack Davenport was in that movie. Because, I'm not sure why this is, but nothing drives me crazy like discovering that a movie I saw once upon a time had an actor in it that I didn't recognize at the time, but do now, because I always want to remember who they played, and never can.
But, yeah. So I was hopping over onto Wikipedia and IMDB trying to solve that mystery, and I knew he wasn't the man-hooker (but lord, would that ever been have hilarious in retrospect), and I was seriously hoping he wasn't the jerky ex of the main girl...and it finally turned out that he was the fiance of the sister whose wedding is the wedding of the title. Who I seem to remember as being a lovable semi-goofy dork.
...Great. Now I am pretty much required to rewatch the The Wedding Date sometime.
(And also, I'm now having an extreme urge to write a PotC fanfic and use the phrase "really great make-up sex" in it somewhere. Because, hee.)
Also, today I was watching TV with my suitemates in an effort to stave off doing my Math homework (blaaaaaargh). Only it was 5pm on a Monday so, yeah, nothing was on. Time to channel flip.
First I found some random soap opera comedy thing on the Asian network (...have I mentioned we get really weird college cable? Because, yeah, we get really weird college cable: there's one station that shows nothing but drawings of made-up species of squirrel on rotation. I am not kiddding you) which was amusing because it had some really cracked out dialogue (subtitles, obviously).
And I spent a little while trying to see if I could tell what language they were speaking...I wound up 98% sure it wasn't Japanese, but unable to comment further.
Then I kept flipping and found the tail-end of some reality dating show on MTV, "Parental Control", just in time for Some Dude to go "I'm not going to date you anymore......I'm going to marry you." And propose.
Causing an instant Girly Moment as me and four of my suitemates went as one "OMIGAWD!!"
Then later, I caught about five minutes of All Dogs Go to Heaven, leading me to conclude:
1) I haven't seen that movie in forever.
2) That movie is insanely weird.
3)...I really need to rewatch that movie sometime.
Finally, my roommate's Johnny Depp poster keeps making me nervous.
Because I swear to god he's staring at me. Like, reproachfully.
So first I kept trying to figure out if he was being all reproachful because he knew I was writing stories about one of his characters smexxing it up with another guy, or if it was because he wanted me to stop procrastinating and get back to work on aforementioned stories.
But finally, I relaxed.
Because I realized he was just glaring at me because he wants me to leave so he can continue his passionate affair with my Vampire Girl poster on the other side of the room.
EDIT: Also, I missed the premiere of "Heroes". So, what did you guys think, was it any good? (I'm still not sure if I'm going to watch this show or not, so feel free to spoil)
Which of course keep getting knocked down because they're, hey, IN FRONT OF THE ELEVATORS.
Good job, guys.
