Yes, my shirt IS gingham. Wanna make something of it?

For week 3 I’m ranked 68/507 and after 3 weeks I’m ranked 78/507 in the Fall Box Office Challenge. Damn, I’m good.

This made me laugh.

Ooh – and today’s questionable content is a good one. Doesn’t everything have google now?

Leo and Scorsese re-teaming for another Lehane (Mystic River, Gone Baby Gone) adaptation. South Boston is hot. Except that they’re scouting locations in Connecticut and Nova Scotia, as well.

I really need to stop laughing out loud at work. Luckily my boss isn’t in and Lyn is in class. So I get to listen to my ipod and ‘work’. (Today’s a particularly slow day).

The 25 best moments from The Office.
 

Oh SO HAPPY I’m not in LA.

I love this poster. (I met him! He was really nice!)

Why you should always, ALWAYS let me sleep.

I really like this week’s All Over Coffee.

2007 best actor contenders. Christian Bale!!!

Don’t humiliate your pet. Or don’t breed and pass on those genes.

By the way, I don’t know if I’ve mentioned on this blog before, but one of my all time favourite cars is a classic Cadillac convertible in Cherry red. Guess which car Jessica drives on Heroes? Other faves; a Cobra convertible, the Z3 (even if every yuppie dotcommer has one – they’re still gorgeous), and, of course, the tesla roadster (no – I know nothing about cars, these ones are just pretty…) Speaking of cool cars, check this out. Also, one of my favourite action films is gone in 60 seconds. If you haven’t seen it, they have to steal 50 cars, and each gets a girl’s name as a code. Jessica is this one (a 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner). I miss the classic car show in Claremont…

A behind the scenes look at the making of a pilot. I hope it gets picked up. I liked Timothy Hutton on Nero Wolfe.

From popwatch; apparently there was an article comparing Prison Break and House’s cast shake-ups. (House shake-up what now?) Anyways, this made me laugh, too, “House’s ratings survived its (cough… nonexistent) cast shakeup because it’s essentially a hospital procedural: The (ahem) character changes didn’t irk fans as long as they still got their promised dose of medical mystery. Prison Break — a serialized program to the core — screwed with devotees hoping for a big payoff to Season 1 and 2’s Sara/Michael drama. If you just went “Well, duh,” then I’m with you.

(BTW, this all totally ignores my theory that old ladies just like to go to bed with visions of Hugh Laurie in their head. They don’t care about Cameron or whomever. Go check your mom or grandma’s TiVo. You’ll see what I mean.)”

Ahahahaha…. (Not that I would ever say you are old, mom…)

I would pick anyone other than Russell Crowe to be Robin Hood. Seriously – ANYONE. *sigh* I’ll have to stick with Errol Flynn as the best (non-animated) Robin Hood for the foreseeable future.

My mom passed this along; it’s a look at life after Hogwarts, as told by Hermione.

Oh, and I like this; You know you grew up in the 90s if;

You got super excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school.You remember reading “Goosebumps” (What was the older one? Fear Street? I think I read those instead…)

You remember the craze, then the banning of slap bracelets.

Where in the world is Carmen San Diego? was both a game and a TV game show.Captain Planet. (One of my favourite things ever from college was drinking copious amounts of organic wine on the Environmental Analysis retreat and watching Captain Planet with Colin narrating)

Two words… Trapper Keeper.

You knew all the characters names and their life stories on “Saved By The Bell”

You used to wear those stick on earrings, not only on your ears, but at the corners of your eyes.

You drank squeeze-its or Capri-suns (unless your mother made you stick to Mott’s 100% juice, which looking back on, I really appreciate)

You watched Clarissa Explains it All, Hey Dude, Doug, or Pinky and the Brain.

    Pinky and the Brain are back on, on one of the kiddie channels. Except at 10 at night, when I devoutly trust that little children are asleep! I actually saw one the other night that I had never seen before! Cheap thrills, but you take what you can get…

    Which speaking of, if I want to go to sleep with visions of Hugh Laurie in my head, I have the complete Jeeves and Wooster, when he had hair where it belongs…on his head, and not on his chin!

    But I did watch “House” last night. Omar Epps was trying to make a break for it, but no one would hire him, so he came back to beg Cuddy for a job. What’s-her-face died her hair blonde, and it’s NOT becoming…and they showed the Aussie being a surgeon…so it seems that his original 3 side kicks have all moved up w/in the hospital ranks in one way or another.

    Ewww… she would look awful as a blond. And in what way is a hairstyle change moving up the ranks in the hospital?

    Did you know she and the Aussie were engaged and just called it off? I heard that someplace…

    I haven’t seen any of the episodes since the start of season 3 (a year ago) so I have no idea what’s going on…

  3. admin says:

    And can I reiterate that my box office skills are in the top 15% of people playing?

  4. Karen says:

    Once or twice…a day…all summer…

    Re: the blondie, she and the Aussie (on the show) were having buddy sex. Were they supposed to be engaged in real life?

    And I missed lots of last season, b/c The Riches with Eddie Izzard was on, and in a choice between furry chins, I picked his….

  5. admin says:

    Hee. Aren’t you proud of me?

    Yes, they were apparently engaged in real life.

    I want to see the Riches… Of course, ever since I found the squirrel/doctor who icon I’ve been wanting to watch dressed to kill again. At least I remember almost all of it…

  6. Karen says:

    Of course I’m proud of you! I’m your mother! I’m always proud of you, dear.

    The Riches was really terrific! It didn’t get nearly enough kudos. Minnie Driver was robbed of the Emmy. And Eddie’s acting was excellent except for his accent, which he never really nailed down.

    Pity. He does such a good Welshman….in fact, dealing with these feral cats of mine, I keep thinking of his Welsh Pavlov and chuckling.

    Or, if only the character was supposed to sound like James Mason…

    Still, thoroughly worth seeing. The supporting characters are also good, including the girl who’s supposed to play his daughter…but who, I have a feeling, in real life, would be prepared for “incest”…. just a vibe I got…
