I have three weeks worth of items, here.
1) Every spring I get excited when it's finally warm enough to have the windows open... and then every spring I remember why every fall I'm psyched when we get to shut the windows, because suddenly I can hear everything that's going on in the whole neighborhood. Dear lady who every night at 10 pm for the past three years has called, "Kitty! Kitty!" for fifteen minutes... FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, NAME YOUR CAT.
Anyway, the house next door is only about five feet away from my bedroom window, so I almost always have the blinds closed in there. But last weekend it was really hot, so on Saturday night around 1, I was in my room reading with the light on, but I had my window open to get a breeze, and the blinds up so as not to inhibit the breeze. From where the head of my bed is, I couldn't see anything out the window, but it was open. Aaaaaand then I hear this dude moaning, and this lady shushing him.
Yeah, the couple next door was having sex, and shushing each other because it must have been very apparent that MY OPEN WINDOW WAS RIGHT THERE AND I COULD HEAR EVERYTHING. I mean, on the one hand, I appreciate the shushing because I didn't want to hear that, but on the other hand, them being totally AWARE I WAS THERE was almost creepier. Basically, this was my face:

2) We don't have furniture in our living room anymore. The couch went back out the window from whence it came (we videotaped it going out the window this time, so a post about that will be forthcoming -- stay sharp, internet). So basically for the next month before we both move, being in the living room is like CAMPING. By which I mean really uncomfortable -- we put a futon mattress on the floor, it's pretty hilarious.
Anyway. So all that to say that this morning when my roommate and her boyfriend walked in, I was sitting on a futon on the floor in the middle of the living room crosslegged in my pajamas, eating cereal out of a bowl and watching the Disney channel, as you do... when you're eight.
Jonas -- Man, so I knew I would thoroughly enjoy this show, but I enjoyed it even more than I was anticipating. There were a ton of genuinely hilarious lines, Kevin is AMAZING, and it's so META. "He looks exactly like Nick... but he's SMILING." "Check the fan magazines, I'm the serious one." Making fun of Kevin's boots, and Nick wearing a I Love Sports t-shirt and Joe taking pictures of himself, and Kevin and Joe palling around all over the place! Frankie! Basically it's like they filmed some satirical RPF, is all I'm saying, only with less incest.
Also, both Stella and their fake dad are AWESOME. Also, is it just me or is Kevin super hot in that part in the credits when they cut to him singing and he does that little eyebrow raise? Just saying.
Also, at the end of the first episode, my roommate's boyfriend, after having laughed hysterically at "VASE CLUB," said, "So... am I allowed to genuinely like this show?" JUST SAYING. EVEN CIVILIANS WHO ARE PROBABLY NOT ATTRACTED TO NICK JONAS LIKE IT. My roommate suggested that we go off and co-mod a community together.

4) Apparently I'm also going to do all my super old, super out-dated TV catch-up now. God, why do I never post anymore?
5) Life: YOU GUYS THAT FINALE GAVE ME A LOT OF FEELINGS. I mean, the Crews/Reese felt a little bit like it came out of nowhere in the last couple of episodes, but I don't even care. Seriously, I have never had so many feelings about hands brushing. (How he kind of twitches his fingers afterwards!) And the whole ending was just like the most beautiful thing. I had feelings for days. I still keep listening to that goddamn song that played over it.
Also, Charlie THROAT PUNCHED ROMAN TO DEATH. AUGH. Haha, basically all I want from that show is 1) Charlie being sad over prison, 2) Charlie being terrifyingly badass, 3) sexy shipping, 4) pretty, pretty musical sequences. So the finale was PRET-TY AWESOME. I feel like I want to do a rewatch of all of season 2.
Anyway, I'm going to be so bummed if/when it really gets canceled, but if it does, that was a pretty awesome place to end it. Augh.
Also, this picture of Damian Lewis and Sarah Shahi is maybe my favorite thing I've ever seen:

6) The Office: THE MICHAEL SCOTT PAPER COMPANY IS THE BEST THING THAT'S EVER HAPPENED TO HUMANITY, END OF STORY. All of you who claim you're writing Pam/Ryan really better get on it, is all. God. Talk about having a lot of feelings. I love how both Pam and Ryan totally PARTICIPATED in all of Michael's nonsense. The morning cheer!
And even Halpert was pretty okay when he was saving the day and stuff. Also, Dwight/Andy y/y/y/y/y? Also Michael/Pam y/y/y/y/y/y/y?
7) I really like this Winters/Nixon Band of Brothers vid by
kaydeefalls
8) Theories About Nuclear Winters is a Calvin/Susie Calvin & Hobbes fic that is so good it made me cry.
9)
moireach introduced me to a drink that consists of creme de cacao, milk, and seltzer, and NO LIE, you guys, it is the best thing I have ever put in my mouth. Every time I drink it IT IS BETTER THAN I REMEMBERED IT BEING, and I overhype it EVEN TO MYSELF. Also, it was invented for oilmen in the old west or something, so even though it tastes like a fizzy chocolate soda, it is actually BADASS. Smith and Curran: you will have no regrets.

Seriously, if Life ends I'll cry forever. IT'S JUST A GOOD SHOW. STUPID NBC AND JAY LENO.

Ack, Life is breaking my heart so bad, because I know there is pretty much no chance of it being renewed, and the finale did give such great closure, but then I see pictures like that and I fall in love all over again. ACK.
And um, hi, I am TOTALLY going to second that thought about that pic being Dick Winters and Dani Reese at the prom, okay? That is now canon.
no subject
Ugh, I knooooow, I'm going to be so bummed without Life. :( :(
AUGH. Dani Reese teaches gym at Waverly? SO MANY FEELINGS.

WHERE IS THIS LEAKED EPISODE?
I TRULY FEEL LIKE MY LIFE IS NOT COMPLETE RIGHT NOW?
I also feel like that my capital letters may imply some sort of, like, unhappiness or melancholy but I ASSURE THIS IS NOT THE CASE BECAUSE THAT ONE EPISODE IS EVERYTHING I COULD'VE WANTED EVER AND MORE. AHHH EVERYONE'S FACES!
(also: yeahhhhh, life! \o/ that picture of the two them and the placement of his hand and ugh ugh ugh)
no subject
Man, wasn't it so good? I couldn't even DEAL.
And augh, THAT PICTURE. THE WAY HE'S LOOKING AT HER. HOW TALL HE IS. THE LEANING. HIS HAND.
no subject
That picture is GORGEOUS.
no subject
Isn't it? I've been staring at it ALL WEEKEND.
no subject
God, that picture and how his hand is so much bigger than hers, homg, this is a lot of unexpected feelings and maybe I feel the need to catch up on Life stat.
RYAN/PAAAAAAAM. THE MPSC. ADLKFJLJ. Remember that time Ryan and Pam had a joint talking head and my heart stopped for a minute? I LOVE YOU, SHOW, I HONESTLY DO.
no subject
Omg, right, his hand?? YOU DO NEED TO WATCH LIFE IMMEDIATELY. Haha, group watch? It's almost summer?
God, I still can't believe the joint talking head happened. IT'S BASICALLY LIKE THEY HAD SEX ONSCREEN.
no subject
Hahahahaha, that made me lol.
JONAAAAAAAS. It's seriously been all I can think about/watch/do for the past 36 hours or so. I want to marry Kevin Jonas's comedic timing. I don't know, I was obvs. expecting to love it totally disproportionately, and then it was even better than I had dreamed. SERIOUSLY, HOME MOVIES?? WELL-PLAYED, SHOW. Basically I want to hug everyone associated with it and creepily hold on to Nick too long.
IN OTHER NEWS I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER GET TIRED OF STARING AT THAT PICTURE.
no subject
It's just a really good show! Haha, that review that said Kevin was the best part of it wasn't lying, is all. And I cannot even believe they had home movies. AMAZING. And haha, Nick's dubcon hug, AWESOME.
I HAVE HAD THAT PICTURE OPEN IN A TAB FOR AN EMBARRASSING AMOUNT OF TIME.

Also, Calvin and Hobbes fic always breaks my heart. It tends to be kind of awesome.
Oh, and that couch story made me rofl. My roommate asked what the hell was so funny. So thanks for that.
OH: and Dwight/Andy alllll the way. It makes my heart happy.
no subject
Man, this Calvin and Hobbes fic put me in this weird dreamy melancholy longing mood for, like, DAYS. Yowza.
Hahahahaha, the couch story is always a winner. I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT HAPPENED.
no subject
Jonas is ADORABLE. I feel like it's less of an actual real show in the sense that Wizards of Waverly Place is a real television show. But it is so meta, and genuinely funny, and wacky/silly without being stupid, and actually pretty clever, and Nick is KIND OF A GOOD ACTOR, and there are monocles and colanders and actual home movies where Joe whines "KEVIIIIIN!" and tries to push Kevin out of the shot, and I love it. I'm so planning to stealthily spring it on people and force them to LOVE THESE KIDS.
LIFE!!!! I always waver on whether I ship Crews/Reese or whether I just want them to be PARTNERS! forever. But that finale pushed me over to the shippy side pretty hard. THE LOOOOOKS at the end, man. (And when Charlie did the throat thing... Yeah. I have A LOT of feelings about that.)
Also. Dwight/Andy? Y!!!! Michael/Pam? Um. ...Now you are asking A LITTLE TOO MUCH OF ME.
no subject
I feel like it's less of an actual real show in the sense that Wizards of Waverly Place is a real television show.
I kind of do too! I know what you mean -- it's so clearly already based on their personas, so it's more of a band vehicle than, like, a separate show. I guess it's more like The Monkees than anything, hee. But it was totally way enjoyable and clever like crazy! And I know, even though Nick's a little awkward sometimes, his sad faces were BREAKING MY HEART more than a little. DELIGHTFUL.
I totally go back and forth on my Crews/Reese shipping too -- sometimes I'm like, NO, they are like siblings and I like it that way, but then they brush hands and I'm like, OKAY, COOL, LET'S DO THIS. Man, their looks were CRAZY, they're so into each other. I think at some point I'm going to try to write some post-finale Crews/Reese just to see if I can.
Hahaha, but Michael & Pam are in a relationship! I just had some serious feelings when she had to talk him down and then when HE HAD TO TALK HER DOWN and he got all earnest and competent?? Yowza.

6/ Michael and Pam have come a long way and this week's episode really proved that. It was like a nice full-circle episode.

Ahahaha, FOR REAL.
I knooooow, I really love Michael and Pam's weird understanding and how Pam's the only one who knows how to deal with them. It's so sweet.

My roommate suggested that we go off and co-mod a community together.

And JONAS!!!!! Everything about it was magnificent! (Remember when Frankie was eating an ice cream cone?!) Also, the civilians I watched it with also enjoyed!! The whole world is going to be suffering from Jonas Fever by the end of the summer (a much better illness than swine flu.)
To conclude, PAM/RYAN!!!!!!
no subject
God, I can't even deal with how delightful Jonas was. It's nice to have civilians around to confirm objective awesomeness!
