Obligatory New Year's Post (Part One)
I’ll do the real one later, but for now, I’ll say that my fortune cookie had the lucky number 4, (one of the LOST numbers) the learn Chinese for ‘yesterday,’ (fitting for the end of the year) and the fortune “The dream is in you” or something Inceptiony.
Bye 2010, and BRRRRRR.

And where will she go and what shall she do ...
The New Text I Send out Around 4.08 Each Day Now...
“Oy I need to know when I should put on pajamas tonight. Do we think we’ll be hanging out?”
If no, PJs are on by 5 and I don’t leave my basement.
One of the Saddest Things I'd Ever Seen
Was Christmas Eve a few years back. My dad and I were picking up some dinner (Boston Market, every year. We do the real meal the next day with my mom’s eleven siblings) and I saw this maybe middle-age business woman sitting alone eating food.
In retrospect, she had a bluetooth headset on, and it was probably only 6.30/7.00, but whether she was just snacking and finishing work so she could...
Not to be a Grinch
But this is the second Christmas straight where the holidays not only snuck up on me, but also didn’t really inspire me once school/finals were over.
I haven’t watched any Christmas movies this year, I don’t really want anything besides cash for Europe, and I realllly don’t wanna wake up mega early in classic Christmas fashion.
Do I just not have a soul, or am I just...
So Christmas is Tomorrow
Which means the day after that, I’m totally down to go back to Emerson.
Method #46 in Which My Sister One-Ups Me:
This Christmas, she’s giving the gift of freeing slaves to my family. That’s right, slaves. I guess she drops some cash in the name of the giftee to free a slave somewhere?
As always, just expect a book or TV show from me.
While I Slept, Taylor Watched a Lot of Six Feet...
“OKAY I KNOW THIS IS PREDICTABLE AS FUCK BUT IM IN LOVE WITH RUSSELL. I DONT CARE IF HE HAS COLUMBINE SHOOTER HAIR I WATCH EVERY SCENE WITH HIM IN IT TWO TIMES”
“THIS SHOW SHOULD BE CALLED RUSSELL FEET UNDER, FUCK THE FISHERS”
“OMG DWIGHT MOTHERFUCKING SCRHUTE?!?!!? 4AM, CAN’T DEAL WITH DWIGHT ON SIX FEET”
“I hope I’m not bothering...
“There’s something wrong with me. I love all my other friends, but I feel...”

Freedom, Jonathan Franzen
This sorta is what’s going on through my head about being home again? Still not sure.
Having Seen the Pilot of The O.C.,
I know it’s far too early for me to make assumptions, but Seth Cohen seems kinda like a less douchey version of Mark Zuckerberg.
I’m shipping Jimmy/Kristin far too much.
It’s really strange hearing all these songs I recognize from the O.C. soundtracks.
EDIT NOW THAT I’M IN EPISODE TWO: I like how the plots of this show can just be like “let’s make a tent...
The Sky was Lighter than It Should Have Been...
At midnight, it looked as though the sun had just gone down, or was about to rise. It was that dark lavender color, no wind whatsoever, and a thin layer of snow coated the ground.
It’s different here in the suburbs.

I feel like I need to read this every morning so I don’t forget.
Relevant.
This is both scary and awesome at the same time, which I suppose is what being in your twenties is supposed to be.

I Have 30 Days Left as a Teenager
Hopefully I’ll have that opportunity over break to drive the ol’ convertible to my girl’s house, throw a rock at her window, sneak her out, share a glass bottle of coke as we drive away and make our own rules on our way to the West Coast.
I’d also wear a leather jacket.
So New Facebook Puts Your Status Below Your Name...
There goes me ever trying to make my statuses sentences with my name starting them.
I Swear to God if My Parents Make Me Go to Church...
-and as soon as I read my phrasing, I realized anything else I say is nullified.
Point is, I better have a KILLER nice leisure sleep-in come Sunday.

Terrible Trailers Roundup.
New trailers for the new year, and I probably won’t ever see any of them.
First off, there’s Real Steal, which is basically Hugh Jackman building robots to fight? It’s like Transformers meets Iron Man meets Rock’em Sock’em Robots….the biggest shame is that Jackman is actually a talented actor and it’s a shame to see that wasted on dumb action again.

Still Fighting It, Ben Folds
I’m sure...
Nostalgic Playlists are Sorta Weird.
Because you go from Roxy Music to Taylor Swift without warning.
In the Midst of the Reality Pitch Group Project...
“Well guys, at least I found a torrent of the Dexter season finale!”
“Oh, no, it says the remaining time is infinity.”
“Now it’s 1 year and 12 days. The DVD will be out before then.”
And this was all me over the course of one minute. GET ME OUT OF HEREEEE.

Famous Last Words
wanderingsouls:
Winston Churchill- I’m bored with it all.
Edgar Allen Poe- Lord help my poor soul.
Elvis Presely- I hope I haven’t bored you.
Oscar Wilde- Either that wallpaper goes, or I do.
FDR- I have a terrific headache.
Emily Dickinson- I must go in, the fog is rising…
Charles Darwin- I am not the least bit afraid to die.
And because I feel obligated to throw in a Looking for...

Time Time after time...
Last Night, Ethan was the Funniest Person Alive.
Among his brilliant Modern Family spec script, we tried “Adios Motherfucker” flavored hookah, which I can only describe as ‘tasting like blue.’ When the glowing hookah arrived, Ethan quipped “I bet we try this, and then Inception starts.”
I thought it was hilarious, trumped only by his next one: ”Watch we try this hookah and tomorrow morning we all have...
Remember that Alan Ball Show I Just Jizzed Over?
Well now it’s not happening. Great. And I also found out that Miraculous Year won’t be going through as well. So much for a steady career, Lee Pace….poor guy can’t catch a break.
What I hope: All Signs of Death gets picked up by a different network. HBO will have Big Love, Boardwalk Empire, Treme, True Blood, Game of Thrones, and Luck for dramas alone…it seems...
