crack vs. lost: what's more addicting

i know, i know. i'm showing up to this party pretty late. i can't even pass it off as "fashionable" at this point. but i don't exactly trust the masses when it comes to popular movies or tv shows.* and yet, this time somebody got it right. granted i've only watched 4 episodes,** but i'm totally hooked. everything is so surprisingly good--the acting, the writing the cinematography--and watching it on dvd without commercials makes it seem more like a movie than a tv show.

now i have to prepare myself for a number of nights without much sleep because having a dvd full of lost episodes is pretty much like a having bag of chips. you can't watch just one. or it's like crack, and as soon as i get through season 1 before season 2 is out, i'll start going into convulsions.



*not to mention names, but "saw" and "who wants to marry a millionaire"

**it would have been more but there were only 4 episodes on that dvd.

sunset's just my lightbulb burnin out

this is a post dedicated to some of my favorite song lyrics. some are funny, some a clever, some are meaningful. feel free to add to the list because i'm sure i will.

• i'm in a jam, you're in a pickle, we're in a stew.

• i saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at trader vic's. his hair was perfect.

• since my fling with you time went from popping off three times a day to popping off three times a week. and it takes me a long time to come to the memory of us.

• you're it, and this is the shit that i've been talking about.

• any chimp can play human for a day. use his opposable thumbs to iron his uniform. and run for office on election day. fancy himself a real decision maker. and deploy more troops than salt shakers... look, it's a sheep in wolf's clothing. a smoking gun holding ape.

• at the diner in the morning for a plate of eggs. waitress tries to give me change, i say "nah it's cool just keep it"

• i want my money back (and don't forget to give me back my black t-shirt)

• it seems to me that "maybe" pretty much always means "no"

• my name is sue, how do you do?

• strange how clouds that look like mountains in the sky are next to mountains anyway.

• if we lived in a world withought tears. how would bruises find the face to lie upon? how would scars find skin to etch themselves into? how would broken find the bones?

• if god takes life, he's an indian giver.

• i don't want my girl doin things i could get the other girls to do*

• someday somebody's gonna ask you a question that you should say yes to. once in your life. maybe tonight i've got a question for you.

• shake it like a poloroid picture



*a little hometown nod

thanks and ranting and bears, oh my

i'd have to say that this past week has been a lot of fun. everybody was so sweet for my birthday and i really appreciate it. i got very cool surprises and very cool gifts, who could ask for more.

oh, so don't try to watch the colbert bush bashing with a republican looking over your shoulder. you'll get a speech about "needing to respect the president." you know, just like how the president respects gays and everyone who has less than a few million dollars. i kind of feel like one shouldn't be forced to respect somebody because of a title he barely earned in the first place. i might respect him if he ever used his power to make decisions to positively affect the billions of people who need help. i might respect him if he did something about the greed and corruption of politics and the people around him. i might respect him if he ever admitted to making mistakes. but until then, carry on steve.

speaking of steve, the colbert report just keeps getting funnier and funnier. did anybody see the one where he made "the bomb" because hannity and colmes had "the bomb" on their show? and i love the "better know a district" segments. the other ex-daily-show steve and the office rock my world, too. i laughed so hard last week at all of the things jim has done to dwight. "this morning i found a bloody rubber glove in my drawer and jim tried to convince me i committed murder. i think he's the real murderer." brilliant stuff. i'm almost starting to feel guilty because the daily show--while still awesome--is losing a bit of my attention. it's like when you're a kid and you get a new stuffed animal. your trusty pound purry gets thrown under the bed while you and funshine bear* now host the best tea parties.


*shhhh, nobody tell steve colbert i'm using bears in a metaphore about him

happy birth moment to me

actually that was somtime around 6 in the am. but it's so fun to say.

i just want to point out that it's 9:20 on wednesday and i'm still drunk from last night. even after puking in magnum's work van--sorry sweetie! i'm so disappointed in myself; i haven't puked in like 4 years. damn amg and her "mystery shots". good thing is that i'm not feeling sick really. just still drunk. and i'm totally craving a breakfast burrito from mcdonald's. oh, and my bro just got me an itunes gift certificate that i can't wait to use. how cool is that?! i need some sleep...
