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.
3) Speaking of the Jonas Brothers, if you want an awesome introduction, you need to check these out:

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 bykaydeefalls
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.
