I'm Crazy

I don't know how many of you have noticed the "I'm Crazy" tag at the end of my posts, but it's certainly applicable to this one. There was an email chain going between a few of my friends and I, and it led to me creating and sending this picture.

This was the context:

"Anyone have any good songs to add to the Christmas playlist?"

Me: "If “All I want for Christmas is you” by Mariah Carey plays I will start fork stabbing people.

And now I know that’ll be #1 on the playlist, super. "

"Can you spell repeat?"

Me: "you don’t even know the unbridled rage that comes out of me when this song comes on."

And then this:

"Heres the playlist so far

Ugly Christmas Sweater/Housewarming Party Playlist

1) Mariah Carey – All I Want for Christmas is You
2) Mariah Carey – All I Want for Christmas is You
3) Mariah Carey – All I Want for Christmas is You
4) Mariah Carey – All I Want for Christmas is You
5) Mariah Carey – All I Want for Christmas is You
6) Mariah Carey – All I Want for Christmas is You
7) Mariah Carey – All I Want for Christmas is You
8) Mariah Carey – All I Want for Christmas is You
9) Mariah Carey – All I Want for Christmas is You
10) Mariah Carey – All I Want for Christmas is You
11) Mariah Carey – All I Want for Christmas is You
12) The Isley Brothers - Shout"

Aren't they sweet?

"Audrina Sure Says F--k A Lot"

I've been meaning to write about these Hills recaps for a while now -- wait! Before you scroll down, which your finger is inevitably poised to do right now because come on, it's The Hills and who cares, you have to give these recaps a chance. I've stopped watching the show in favor of reading these things, because they're so witty and insightful and amazing. Like, take this line for instance:

Otherwise... Holly. Spencer. Fight. Holly. Heidi. Fight. Heidi. Spencer. Not really a fight, just a resigned and defeated admission that Spencer will never do anything right or be a good person. The details are too grim and stupid and repetitive to go into, just know that Heidi no longer has her office, just a sad little cubicle and that, when told he is a bad person by Holly, Spencer made a small quiet lost and bewildered face. Just for a moment you could see the dim glimmer of humanity sparking beneath his skin, but then the electricity was sucked back in by that Inland Empire power plant and the lights went out in Spencer again.

You guys, it's so amazing. Seriously. Read them all.

Oh, and here's this from the most recent episode. It's like 20 seconds long, so watch it or else.

O.M.G.

I can't really do a better job than this explanation, taken from Best Week Ever:

There’s really only three things you can say after seeing the following preview for a game show I am dubbing my 2008 “Reason To Live”: O. M. G.
Thanks to the good people at the Game Show Network and Meow Mix, “Think Like a Cat” is the ultimate show for single gals and suicidal ones alike, where owners are quizzed about how well they know their cats, and the “catestants” face challenges such as who can eat the most food in 60 seconds.
Needless to say, the cats have no idea what the f**k is going on. Neither does host Chuck Woolery. Who can now hopefully pay off his car loans.
The winner of Think Like a Cat gets $1 million, more than enough money to buy a lifetime supply of Cosby sweaters and lint rollers and valiums.

Oh my god, I'm gonna watch the shit out of this show.

Oh, George Michael...

I've refrained from writing about the possibility of an Arrested Development movie for a while now, just because it's been so up in the air that it might not have been worth writing about if it didn't come to fruition. However, I read on Pajiba a bit ago that everyone's on board, and that Mitch Hurwitz is working on something else, but when he's done with that, he's going to start writing a script. So I'd give it a year and a half or two years before we even start seeing trailers, if at all. Anyways, that's all well and good, but there's a hitch: Michael Cera might not even be in it. I guess he doesn't see the point in doing a movie, which is so depressing. I can't see anyone else in that role.

"Yes, it's a go," an Arrested castmember who asked not to be named tells me. "We're all very excited. And it will happen with or without the holdout."
Wait a minute...The holdout? Yes, I'm also told exclusively by multiple sources that one of the show's original castmembers has not signed on to the movie...
"Yeah, [he or she] might not do it," an actor says of this costar. "However, I do know that we will do the project with or without [him or her]."
Add that to this September quote from Michael Cera... "I don't think I would want to see a movie of the series if I was a fan anyways...and I don't really see a need for it if you can get the three seasons on DVD."

Cue sad Snoopy music...

What Am I Even Talking About Anymore?

I blog on another blog now. We'll see how long my attention span will allow it.

It's fancier than mine. Le sigh.

A Cross the Universe

You guys, Justice has a live album and an hour-long documentary DVD coming out on December 8th called A Cross the Universe. I have the "Stress" track from it, and it's super great. I'm usually not a huge fan of live albums because I think they're just so repetitive and self-serving (like, "let's offer up the same songs, but sung much worse, with more screaming crowd and breathing sounds"). Electronic albums, however, seem to be the exception, as it gives the artists more room to play around with the sounds in each song. Daft Punk's Alive album is still part of the "most played" list on my iPod. Anyways, I'm super excited to steal this album off the internet (thank you, interwebs/sorry, Justice).

Wall-E

It's no secret how much I liked the movie Wall-E. It's just so damn adorable. I was in Circuit City this weekend looking for a webcam and walked past the DVD display and "Walllllllllllll Eeeeeeee" crackled out of it, and I got all excited and walked past it a couple of times. I looked crazy, per usual, but still.

Anyways, here's the whole script. It's really interesting to see how everything translated to the screen.

Chinese Shut Up

Maybe I'm too young to get all the hype, but is it wrong that I just don't give a damn about Guns N' Roses' new album, Chinese Democracy?! I mean, I know that it's been in the works since 1994, but still... can everyone can it already?!

Hangover Cure?

As some of you may know, I am pretty famous for my raging hangovers. It doesn't matter how much I drink, because the next morning I am usually fighting with a debilitating hangover that makes me curl up into a ball and grumble. I guess it's just a sad, sad byproduct of getting older. Anyways, there's this blog that I read, and this was in the comments. I'm not sure if it's gonna work, but I'm totally willing to try it. Anything. I'll try anything.

Electrolytes + acetaminophen = drink whatever the fuck you want and feel great.Buy a couple liters of Pedialyte and a bottle of Tylenol extra strength. After a night of drinking, drink at least half a liter of the Pedialyte and take two extra strength Tylenols before going to sleep. Then, upon waking, repeat. No hangover.

Molly replied to Torch’s comment:
If I take Tylenol after drinking, won't I immediately puke?

Torch wrote:
No. Why would you think that?

If you take it the night you drink, you can make yourself WAY more sick because of what it does to your liver. The gatorate seems like a smart plan, but Tylenol + drinking = liver failure for someone like me.

Torch wrote:
Not unless you have already have a pre-existing condition/elevated liver enzymes. You'll be fine. You're taking the word of yahoo answers over a doctor, I'm insulted. Actually I'm not insulted, it's your body, do what you want. If you're worried about it, just take the Tylenol in the morning. Btw, don't use Gatorade, use Pedialyte. The excess sugar/sucrose in Gatorade can actually optimize a hangover, not good. Depending on your insulin sensitivity, it may slow the process of absorption prior to alcohol breakdown/conversion to acetate making the hangover that much longer. If you've ever noticed, getting smashed off bad wine leaves you with a monster hangover the next day, that's why.


Pedialite, right guys?! Maybe it's like, the fountain of youth that only this dude knows about. Anyways, I'm totally going to try it. I'll let you know how it goes.

Hey Boy

I dig this song more and more every time I listen to it -- the girl in the video isn't the girl who actually sings the song, but it's a good video nonetheless.
She's like... an indie Lykke Li, maybe? Mark? It's the guitar, that's the part that reminds me of LL.

Adventureland

This movie looks awesome.

Style Rookie

If you can't tell already, I haven't always been the coolest. I always say that I want my future (very future) children to be giant nerds so that they are forced to develop a personality and distinct interests that aren't "going to the mall" and "doing dirty things in closets".

When I was younger, the loser kids at school made fun of me, that's how ridiculous I was. I was always playing "imagination games". In 5th grade, my teacher gave out awards at the end of the year, and mine was the "Nose in A Book" award. I remember sitting in my little plastic chair, waiting for my award to come up, heart fluttering whenever a new one was about to be announced, and becoming instantly, painfully aware that I was wearing weird shorts with Teva sandals and that my legs were hairier than all the other girls' (because I hadn't become self-aware enough to shave them yet). My wardrobe when I was 12 consisted of baggy corduroy pants with zippered tops, and my favorite item of clothing was a pair of burgundy corduroy overalls that had Winnie the Pooh and friends on them. I kept wearing them even when I snagged the "hammer holder" on a drawer, letting it flap around for weeks until my mom captured me and cut it off. I hadn't ever really been very cognizant of the way I look or act, only becoming aware of it within the last 5 or 10 years.

Anyways, I came across this blog, written by a 12-year-old girl, and I was so taken aback by how creative and intelligent she was, and how all pretense was missing from her writing because she's so young. I mean, seriously, check this out and tell me you don't love this girl:

"School has been blah. More specifically, school people. Luckily, I have a new strategy in dealing with people who think knowing everything about nothing and
talking about it all the time makes them Jesus: I imagine myself throwing an atomic apple at them then stomping on them in Rodarte and a crown a la Where The Wild Things Are."

And then she made a little example:

She reminds me a lot of my friend Hanna, with whom I grew up. She was always dressing totally crazy and had this Polish mother that totally supported her whims, and I was always a little bit jealous that she was allowed to be such a free spirit.

Anyways, I wish I were like this girl when I was 12 -- hell, I wish I was like her now! But read her blog, it's so great.

Baby's Gettin Old

So I decided that in order to celebrate my 10,000th hit, I would see exactly how old Lil' Good Bloggie really is:

You are 2 years old . . .
or 31 months old or 134 weeks old or 939 days old or 22536 hours old or 1352163 minutes old or 81129832 seconds old

And, your next birthday is in: 158 days 13 hrs 57 mins 8 secs as of 11:05am

Pretty cool, right? I'm actually kind of proud that I've kept this thing up for so long. I mean, there were times that I neglected it when it threw tantrums, or ignored it when it was doing something bad, but the love's still there, folks.

Man Tries to Pay Bill With Spider Drawing

A guy was clearly trying to come up with an excuse for why he hadn't paid his bill, and instead tried to pay with a drawing of a spider. The whole email exchange is in this article.

10 G's?!

You guys! You guys! Only 15 more hits until I hit 10,000!!! I mean, some sites have 10,000 hits every couple of hours, but still! It's kind of a big deal in my little world.

I Still Love the Internet

This is my dear, dear, dear special friend Mac. Ok, he's not special, just awesome.


In other news, Gchat just got a hell of a lot cooler.

YOUR PARENTS LOVE YOU

So one of my best guy friends from high school went to school in Flagstaff, and I'm not sure, but apparently one of the only things to do there besides drink is to yell at people from cars. They called it "Ralphing" (not sure why, I think they used to just yell "Ralph" at people) and it was pretty much all they did for about 6 months.

Anyways, these kids are taking it to a whole new level.

Ummmmm....

Since I'm not sleeping, I just wanted to post this, because this guy has found himself a nice little place in the world and I'm a little bit jealous.


I'm also jealous because I'm not a dinosaur.

I Has an Emailz

So I finally broke down and got Good Bloggie its own email address.
