HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYBODY!!!

Unless, of course, you don’t celebrate. In which case, happy October 31st! Woo!

I’m going to dress as a chinchilla and go to a Dia De Los Muertos festival. What are your plans?

For the entire month of October, I’ve been watching Brotherhood 2.0/Vlogbrothers videos in order. They started vlogging, every day, on January 1st, 2007. I’m already up to sometime in May 2008. It may not seem like a lot, but it’s a looot.

If you haven’t checked them out, I highly recommend that you do. Link in I recommend…

(In case you do watch and you’re wondering, my favorite brother is John. But I like Hank too. It’s just that I find John’s literary-ness the most appealing. He inspires me. And he’s cute as a button. That doesn’t hurt.)

((Also, if you’re checking out the YouTube Pick of the Week [below] each week, a lot of times, not surprisingly, I choose one of their videos.))

I actually accomplished the goal I set for myself! Four movie reviews in one week! Check it out!

I’m now going to attempt to keep up the reviewing. Or “reviewing” anyway, because they’re more like after musings.

I saw Steve Martin tonight, alive and in person. He was about ten feet from me, playing a banjo. At one point, he looked at my dad because Dad was dancing like an Egyptian to “King Tut”, as he’s wont to do.

Before seeing Steve Martin, I admired some signed cement in front of the theatre. Apparently, the Warner Theatre is cool enough to have a mini walk of fame. I stood on Tommy Tune’s taps! They were in the cement by his autograph. That’s a highlight of my life now.

During dinner, my parents and I discussed A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum, whether it was right for Cornelius Hackl to run away without paying for dinner at the Harmonia Gardens or if he should’ve done the dishes or something… and argued about whether or not The Phantom of the Opera 2: The Idiotic, Unnecessary Sequel will close in 6 months or less. I bet Mom $10 that it would.

We’re nerds.

I think I’m going to quote Flight of the Conchords in my tweets until peace comes.

Or until I run out of quotes.

Here’s what I have to say about The Emmys this year, in bullet points.

* Neil Patrick Harris needs to host every year. He was the best part. His mixture of pompous host and slightly nervous host works for that type of awards program, I think.
* Kristin Chenoweth’s surprise was completely adorable and genuine and the only win that made me cry with happy.
* None of the other wins surprised me. As a whole, I thought the award wins themselves were rather blah while the hosting and a few of the presenters were funny. People usually watch to see who wins, though, right?
* WHY was Flight of the Conchords not included in the Comedy category clips before the comedic awards were given out?!?! That was the part that made me want to angrily write to CBS. They were nominated while others of those shows were not; they should’ve been included. The fact that they weren’t was an insult.

Overall, nicely done, Neil but the rest was a huge let-down for me and FOTC fans across the world. And it’s not just because they didn’t win any of their deserved awards, but that doesn’t help.

Changes have begun! I think this site will be much better now, because of the changes which I just mentioned.

I just saw The Informant!, starring Matt Damon with guest appearances by every comedian, ever*. It was pretty funny. I felt like the second half was better. The second half of Schizopolis is better than the first half of that, too. Better to have a really strong ending than a really strong beginning and a boring ending, I always say**.

I know I always say this***, but I’m going to be working on this site a lot now. I promise!

* exaggeration; Emo Philips isn’t in it.
** exaggeration; This was the first time I said that.
*** not an exaggeration, unfortunately.

blast from the past

I just found this page which I made 4 years ago. It’s still relevant, so it’ll be going in my new Literature section. [Please note, I was 18 when I took that picture.]

Queen of the Mondegreene.

life is like a box of chocolates…

Only certain bits are good.

Heeey. I feel like I haven’t updated this page in forever. I’ve been preoccupied with the flashness of Livejournal, the comeraderie of YouTube and the loserness of watching lots of TV shows on DVD. I hope you can forgive me. The good news is that I’m starting a new section of this site soonish: it will include all (read: some) of my writings. I even made up fancy categories for them. That should at least be open with a few things for your reading pleasure a.s.a.p.

I also have to post about meeting Bret and Jemaine again, but I think that’ll be saved until I can finally wrap my head around my conversation with Bret…

So, for now, for today, here’s FIVE MOVIES YOU ALL MUST SEE BEFORE THE OSCARS! I’m sure some of you have seen some/all of them, but I felt it was necessary to do my part to get these babies seen!
