today while attempting to make pasta salad, I grabbed the handles of a pot that had been boiling water for about 15 minutes, burned three fingers on my right hand, which rendered the limited paring knife abilities I have nearly useless, such that, after several minutes of watching over my shoulder, my mother patiently brushed me aside to cut the ( Read more... )

so when I set out wrapped in the tattered remnants of personal dignity to watch season 8 of american idol  to satisfy the curiosity I had about all the fuss surrounding it, why, why in the name of all that is good and informative did no one mention that this show is a vehicle used by ryan seacrest and simon cowell to flirt with one another?

dear american idol,
I am quite apathetic toward you. I possess negative amounts of interest in your particular televised conceit.

today I watched the second season of heroes.
that's 7.93 hours I'll never get back.

so I may or may not love the explosion of interest in classic trek that the movie's bringing on. also this comm is kind of making my life right now. sigh.

slogging through skins currently and it wears me down, this show, so good and so painful to watch, but let me just say I watched shukudai for the first time in a month, maybe, and it just tickles me to pieces when sho calls ohno satoshi-kun. I can't even explain why.

right so short story short, when I went to watch the preview cut of arashi's believe PV, I was kinda listening to the grey album and was struck by how nicely jay-z + the beatles fit overtop of it, so I, uh. made it reality.
with a little bit of fast and very sloppy editing.
