did any of you guys ever see the movie heavy traffic? i remember seeing it...god, it must've been six or seven years ago, completely baked, and having it kind of scare the shit out of me, heh. i just watched the trailer on youtube and i think it's exactly as fucked-up as i thought it was at the time.


in unrelated news: IT WON'T STOP SNOWING OMFG DNW

01. on my way home from starbucks/the store just now, i was driving on a little street near my house and i hit a red light. however, by the time i was actually sitting at the intersection, the sun was shining brightly RIGHT next to the light, and no matter how i tried to shade my eyes and hold up a hand, i seriously couldn't tell if the light was red or green. and there's not enough traffic to be all "oh, the cars coming that way are stopped", and it's a one-way street so i couldn't just wait for people coming toward me to go. so i just waited until i figured it was probably green, took a deep breath, and went for it. NOT FUN. D:

02. is kyle peek a father?!?! O.O

03. i have some thinky thoughts about, of all things, seinfeld. well, not so much the show itself, but like...okay. scott loves seinfeld. he thinks it's hilarious, and i realize he is not alone there. i don't necessarily find it un-funny, i guess. i mean, i usually see the jokes coming a mile away, but there are funny moments, and i get a kick out of the concept that it's a show about nothing, and their treatment of the minutiae of daily life can sometimes be quite clever.

however, i've never been able to really enjoy the show, because i find all the characters to be kind of douchebaggy. like, they're all eccentric and whatever, and that's fine, but they're all so inherently selfish and self-involved that it bothers me. and, i mean, i have a long history of loving the "bad" characters on tv shows, from logan echolls to alex karev to chuck bass (with plenty of other stops in-between) but they almost always have an underlying humanity that i think the seinfeld cast does not.

scott thinks i'm ridiculous, and that you don't have to be able to empathize with characters in order to enjoy a show, but i disagree, i think because i rarely watch (or read) things for the plot. 9 times out of 10, i watch the shows i watch for the characters, and i read the books i read for the prose. not to say i don't appreciate a good plot twist or a cliffhanger or just a well-crafted story, but that's rarely my main concern.

now, i know comedy is a different beast than stuff like gossip girl or whatever the hell else i watch, but i think most comedies have characters that are, well, likable, and with whom people can identify, whether it's jim halpert or liz lemon or ted mosby or whatever. scrubs was on the the other day, and scott said he thinks the characters on seinfeld are more likable than the characters on seinfeld. which, i disagree, but i can vaguely understand why he might say that. i mean, JD is not necessarily a great guy. he can be mean, and selfish, and generally kind of weak. but again, there's humanity there, i think. and dr. cox, for all his rage and bluster, has a good heart underneath. (mind you, i haven't actually watched scrubs in a couple of years, so i'm basing this off the first 3 or 4 seasons.)

all of that ^^^ to say, i suppose: what makes a character someone you can relate to/empathize with/enjoy? do you need characters like that to enjoy a TV show? do you agree with me that the characters on seinfeld are unlikable assholes, or have i got it all wrong?

04. david fucking cook having a gigglefit! everyone who cares probably saw this already but you can watch it again. ♥


ETA 05. also, this.

XD *icons*
semisweet: (dcook. chicks man.)
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OK.

so, we've all seen the little david archuleta fans losing their shit when he lost AI, right? (if not, it's below!) well, there is now a proper response on youtube, lmaooooooo.

point.


counterpoint.
semisweet: (sinfest. crazy o'clock.)

omg, why am i reading badfic?

i don't like talking shit about people's writing, generally, because as a writer i understand the effort that goes in (well, in most cases. i swear some people just spew whatever comes into their head into an entry and call it fic, but i digress). and so i'm not going to talk shit now, either. that is not the issue.

srsly, tho, i never even read badfic, normally! usually i have the willpower of...of...idk, a thousand somethings with a lot of willpower. at least when it comes to badfic.

but right now i'm totally like a little fly, zooming straight into one of those bug zapper things.

can't...look...awayyyyyy *bzzzzzt!*

OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK

I WAS BRUSHING MY TEETH AND HE WAS JUST ~THERE~

NOW I HAVE THE CREEPY-CRAWLIES LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER

SOB SOB SOB DNW DNW ETC

semisweet: (dcook. wear my sunglasses at night.)
i am home. whatever.

brb dying of lulz
semisweet: (blake. shibby giggles.)
omg, so i need to be leaving my house but i HAD to share this. i was just in my car and i turned on the radio, and the local station is having their summerfest thing today, at which i am missing both bshorty AND metro station because i fail at life. D:

but that's not the point! so ace young is also there, and when i turned on the radio in the car they were interviewing him. and he told a story about hanging out with blake at the hotel last night, and the fire alarm goes off at like 3:30 in the morning. and they don't care if they get burned alive, apparently, because they just stayed in the room and ignored it.

so a minute or two later, they get a knock on the door, and coolio(!), who is also performing today, asks if he can hang out with them, and he sits down and is kind of rocking in place like a little kid. it turns out he was doing, ahem, SOMETHING that set off the smoke alarm, so he was hiding with them.

/o\

i lolled. a lot.
semisweet: (blake. um wtf?)
officially the weirdest myspace message i've ever gotten.



and he's in schenectady, which is, like, the next town over. which means he was actually looking for ~local chicks~ for this, apparently.

O.o
semisweet: (film. dogma. angels of (gay) love.)
i don't watch this show, or any soaps, but this pisses me right the fuck off. i'm calling, like, A LOT.

The American Family Association has just launched a letter and call-in campaign to have the Luke/Noah storyline removed from the day time soap opera As the World Turns.

Procter & Gamble has set up a 1-800 number to poll responses.

The number is 1-800-331-3774.

Press 1 for English/2 for Spanish [if you don't get this, don't worry, I didn't either].

Press 2 to get to the AtWT poll.

Then press 1 to tell them you want the storyline to continue.


with the amount of ridiculous scandalous bullshit that soap operas have as a complete matter of course, the fact that the american family association chooses only to get upset about a gay storyline is repulsive. HATE. i encourage everyone to call the number and to repost this information.

here, as a reward have a random really really hot boykiss.
semisweet: (blake. and singer omgwtf!)
HAHAHAHAHA OMG WHAT.


"after mojitos and on the way to the cocktail lounge"

BLAKE LEWIS. JUST. WHAT???????

semisweet: (text. CAPSLOCK MOMENT.)
UM WHAT.


ONLY LIKE THREE PEOPLE WILL EVEN BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY BOTH OF THESE PEOPLE AND UNDERSTAND/CARE ABOUT HOW I AM TOTALLY DYING.

JERI WHERE ARE YOU? UH. WHO ELSE?
semisweet: (p!atd. you kind of fail tbh.)
ok, so i haven't actually looked at it myself, but it has recently come to my attention that there is a david archuleta/michael johns thread on idolforums. :x :x :x

lord knows i love The Gay, but 1417-year-old mormon boy/3529-year-old aussie dude is a world, nay, a vast galaxy of DO NOT WANT.

*shudder*

(but rly, kids, where's the legit boylove this season? sigh.)

semisweet: (blake. infinate love.)
i won the radio contest. i will be eating pizza and playing wii with blake on wednesday.

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
semisweet: (blake. these flashing lights.)
ugh, YOU GUYS. my localish radio station is having a contest to hang out with blake and have breakfast with him or some ridiculous shit like that and i just entered and i am completely terrified that i will win and then make an ass out of myself.. i have been within, like, a foot of that dude three times. two of those times i COULD NOT SPEAK AT ALL (like, i handed him a gift and he thanked me and all i could do was smile. erin said it reminded her of "i can hear the bells" from hairspray, lol) and the other time i said something to the top of his head as he was signing an autograph and then he looked up and answered me and i stuttered something and as soon as he left i dropped my bottle of vitamin water and it spilled everywhere.

fhkgjhkgjhrkjghrkehgkjrhgkj IDEK. i probably won't win anyway but WHAT IF I DO?!?!?! D:
semisweet: (fob. pete is shocked.)
oh NOES.
Now that Karyn Kusama is on board to direct Jennifer's Body, Diablo Cody's follow-up to Juno, casting is beginning in earnest. Luckily we have a source close to the production who has told us who is being looked at for some major roles in the film.

The lead role of Needy, the Buffy of the piece, if you will, is being offered to Amanda Seyfried, Big Love's Sarah. That's not a done deal, but with nothing on her IMDB after the upcoming Mamma Mia!, I imagine Seyfried will be happy to take the role.

More interesting, perhaps, are two names that are being bandied about for Nikolai; he's the leader of the Satanic emo band that starts all of the problems that turns Needy into an ass-kicking monster fighter. The production is looking at - Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy and Joel Madden of Good Charlotte.

LOLOLOL. i will go see it one thousand times if they actually cast pete, not gonna lie, but omg, does anyone really think this is a good idea?!? have they SEEN him on one tree hill? aadlskjhdfdga.

*facepalm FOREVER*
