let your heart kindle my heart

I watched this movie earlier today. And I cried.

fail

My failure to watch Camp Rock is embarrassing me.

paper towns and lolcats

John Green talks about Paper Towns (his new book) on Amazon.

There are very few things in life I love more than John Green.

One of them is John Green on sites that are not youtube with people inevitably thinking he is insane.

The other is lolcat versions of books. I saw someone’s signature in a forum a couple of days ago that had a picture of Robert Pattinson (who will be playing Edward Cullen in the upcoming Twilight movie) with an overlay of text that read “IM N UR BOOKZ, DENYING U SEKZ.”

I. almost. died. laughing.

 

oxy and youtube!

 

I made this with the new iMovie. It turned out okay.

i have a problem

So I’m on facebook as usual, and I see <this< advertisement. And, naturally I read it, because I saw the words “The OC” and they jump out to me. So I finish it and I don’t understand it at all (“captain cody called”? “school boy is thirsty”? “dilly of a party”?), and then I read the little message underneath, and it says “P.S. If you got this, take the “Addiction Quiz”. 

Hmmmm. Interesting. What could this mean. I then decide that the entire letter is full of television show references, and that if a person “got” all of it, then they clearly had an addiction to television and should take the quiz. 

Hey! What do you know? I’m addicted to television shows! So I clicked.

 

It’s a quiz about drug use. Therefore an ACTUAL addiction. Oh, and now, the letter makes sense. 

I am an IDIOT.

hello, my name is… aristotle?

So tonight I went to Mai Tais and I didn’t meet him, but apparently there was some guy introducing himself as “Aristotle (like the philosopher)”.

 

Now he totally could have been lying… but if he was, 1. pick up line?  2. what kind of girls would he be trying to attract? Me? I seriously doubt it. 

So I think his name really was Aristotle. That is so badass I can’t even take it.

the silver chair

book club update:

11. Prince Caspian

12. The Voyage of the “Dawn Treader”

13. Girl at Sea by Maureen Johnson

 

I’m now on book 14: The Silver Chair, so I’m still trekking along in Narnia, but I probably should read my stuff for Denver soon.

 

KNITTING!

Yesterday I went to my Grandma’s apartment and she taught me how to knit! I knit a tiny swatch that really isn’t anything, but I’m going to buy some yarn and then go back next Wednesday and I’m going to start on a scarf!

 

ELECTRONICS!

I am now the owner of a MacBook Pro and an iPod Touch! This may slow the book club progress slightly. This iPod (and the MacBook too for that matter) is pretty flash, but shit I deserve it for suffering major gadget lust for like 3 years. 

 

Also, I think I’m officially no longer sick. Yes.

5 dollar foot-longs! (or not)

So the other day I was watching television and this commercial came up, for Subway sandwiches.

The commercial was all about how Subway’s foot-long subs were only 5 dollars. 

Except that every time (and this was like every 2 seconds I kid you not) they said “five dollar foot-longs” or “5 dollar foot-longs!” popped up on the screen, there would be another text bubble that would pop up over it saying “$5.99 in Hawaii!”

 

Why even run that commercial?

still in narnia

So I finished book 11: Prince Caspian and have moved on to book 12: The Voyage of the “Dawn Treader”. Go me!

krissstina monday’s book club

So I’m a HUGE fiveawesomegirls fan:

And Kristina who posts on Mondays has a book club*. She doesn’t pick books for everyone to read every week or anything, it’s more like a book challenge. She challenged herself (and her viewers) to read 50 books this year. That’s almost a book a week. I’m VERY behind.

So far in 2008:
1. Special Topics in Calamity Physics by Marisha Pessl
2. A Northern Light by Jennifer Donnelly
3. Digging to America by Anne Tyler
4. Twelve by Nick McDonell
5. Looking for Alaska by John Green
6. Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
7. New Moon by Stephenie Meyer
8. Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer
9. The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau
10. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis

As you can see… I am only on book 11… which is Prince Caspian. According to my calculations… I should be on book 23. I can’t remember what book Kristina is on (I think like 15?). Although I should probably be beating her since she has to make a youtube video every week and, you know, goes on TOUR (she’s in the Wizard Rock band The Parselmouths). So basically the only good excuse… were if I was Miley Cyrus or something.

Ugh. So I’m going to be updating this with my progress in the book club. Wish me luck.

*Kristina also participated in and successfully completed NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) last year (writing 50,000 words in one month). She’s basically my life hero. DID I MENTION SHE’S IN A WIZROCK BAND?
