The Internet is for PORN!

I saw Avenue Q the other night.

I!
LOVED!
IT!

Seriously, go see this fucking musical! It was awesome! Let me make clear, I'm NOT a fan of musicals. I've seen about ... 5 or 6? I saw Grease, only b/c Lucy Lawless was in it and I'm a HUGE Xena fan (it was okay, though she was the best thing about it); I saw Our House which is a musical made from music by Madness (which I only saw b/c I LOVE Madness, this was actually pretty cool, but mostly b/c of the music); I saw Spamalot (because I heard good things, love all things British AND I got free tickets, and this too was fantastic — HILARIOUS — and I got to see it with David Hyde Pierce and Hank Azaria); I saw Wicked (b/c I LOVED the book, the play was good in it's own right, but not as good as the book — they took a lot of the "darkness" and political shit out of it for the show); oh, and I saw Wolves in the Walls based on a Neil Gaiman children's book (b/c I'm a huge Neil Gaiman fan, this was pretty cool too, though it was for children and a little weird...but the sets were amazing). I may have seen another but I can't remember.

I just don't really like the "break into song" thing. Usually only if it's funny....like Spamalot and Avenue Q!

Anyway, Avenue Q: VERY, VERY funny, very real-world and poignant. The characters are great, the songs are great. It's PUPPETS for chrissakes, it's hilarious! The freakin' superintendent is Gary Coleman! Not that Gary Coleman is PLAYING the superintendent, it's someone else playing Gary Coleman AS the superintendent! Genius!

I even got a little teary eyed during the song that goes "There's a fine line b/t love and wasting your time" as it hit me a little too close to home. Even my friend...let's call her Sleepy...said when that song was on she was thinking "Poor Girl, she has to see her life played out by puppets." haha

Anyway, the absolute BEST part was TREKKIE MONSTER!!!!!!!!!
I love, love, love HIM!!! He's a big Monster puppet who loves porn!! Seriously, I loved him from his first moment b/c of how cute he was, then he fucking sings about how the internet is good for porn and I was just smitten! I mean....LOOK AT HIM!!!! ;-) All I want is a big Trekkie Monster doll I can cuddle...but NO, there is none! Goddamn it! It's a cruel world we live in where I can find the most awesome character in the world and not have a big softie doll of him! And it would be soft! He's got that super-soft looking shaggy fur! ::sigh::

Anyway, so there's my review. Go see this musical, if you can. Fan-fucking-tastic.

The End. (FOR PORN!)

Stupid, stupid, stupid!

I played Guitar Hero with Catch-22 the other night — for a few hours —and fell in love with the game. He had it for X-Box which comes with a cordless guitar. I only have GameCube and my boys only have Playstations...so rather than either 1) buying Guitar Hero for Playstation; 2) not buying it at ALL and just playing at the houses of various friends I know that HAVE it; or 3) at least WAITING until I can get a Wii at a reasonable price...what do I do? I go on ebay and spend an exorbitant amount of money on a Wii console (with extra controller, extra nunchuk – whatever THAT'S for, the WiiSports package AND the WiiPlay package...and I THINK a charger) and also the Wii version of Guitar Hero. I'm stupid. I have ridiculous amounts of credit card debt!! What am I doing!?

And my justification? We're likely getting a $300 or $600 (I've got conflicting info) check from the Federal government (that they should probably keep and put towards stuff we need...like being free from debt or universal health care). So rather than use this unexpected money to get out of debt myself (I guess I should do as I say, huh?), I spend it BEFORE I EVEN GET IT on a game system I'll probably end up barely using...

Oh well...I've wanted the Wii for awhile now...now I'll have it. So being broke is worth not being jealous, right?

.........maybe not.....

The End.

Catch-22

When you like a guy with a girlfriend and yet you still manage to make out with him. You get what you wanted (well, sort of) but now he's less appealing b/c he's a cheating fuck-head. So even if he leaves said girlfriend, you can never trust him enough to be the replacement.

::sigh::


The End.

Heathcliff!!

Everyone's blogging/talking/reporting about this, I know, but I just had to mention the death of Heath Ledger (who I just found out is called Heathcliff...makes sense, I just never thought of it — and Heathcliff is adorable)!

I know he's some dude I've never met, but he was beautiful (seriously, it's ridiculous) and was finally a respected actor (remember 10 Things I Hate About You? haha). I thought he was fantastic in Brokeback. Totally stole Gyllenhaal's show and I loved him before that movie. His Joker looks like it's going to be awesome too. It's weird, I almost shed a tear yesterday.

It really IS weird how the whole famous-person thing works. You don't know these people, but they're in your lives kind of and especially when they play characters that you love (and do it well), you sometimes can't help but feel like you know them and love them. I don't know...well, either way, it's stupidly sad, especially b/c of his little girl (even though I hate children, I don't want them to lose their parents). Also, I didn't know he was only 28! Christ that's young!

Anyway, just wanted to say something about it. Nothing profound, just that I'm actually saddened by this.

The End.

PS I believe Brad Renfro (another young actor, though not as popular) died this week too...I don't know how, but that's what the interwebs is for! :-P

PPS See what I mean? Gorgeous:

It's A Beautiful Morning!

So I'm sleeping on the train ride to work this morning (as usual), and I'm jolted awake a one of the stops (by my own subconscious making sure I'm not missing my stop) and directly across from me I see this INCREDIBLY attractive guy! ::sigh:: I swear — BEAUTIFUL! I rarely see anyone I find attractive on my daily commute and have NEVER seen someone THIS attractive. It made me finally see the folly of my "don't get dolled up to go to work" rule. :-P I almost never put my contact lenses in, I don't wear make-up, and I wear an oversized army parka so I look like I might be fat under there. Plus I'm sleeping, mouth probably falling open. I mean, I'm not going to change this, I'm too exhausted in the mornings to start worrying about shit like that (though I've been thinking of getting a "girlier" coat...but I love this one...oh the problems one must face! :-P).

Anyway, goddamn his gorgeous face! And he looked really sweet too. You can tell a lot from a person's expressions and he definitely didn't look like an asshole. He had a sort of wide-eyed innocent face, though not childish at all. I can't really remember his clothes, but he was semi-fashionable, he had "product" in his hair (I think it's funny that hairstylists call it "product")! haha

I was then torn between staring at him and continuing to sleep, the latter being the choice I gave in to; I'm exhausted in the mornings (as proven by the fact that I've said it TWICE in this post)! Though I did open my eyes a few more times to peek. I was actually relieved when he got off the train. Sucks that this city is so huge and I'll probably NEVER see him again. Though, if I do, it'd be like "fate" or some shit, and I'd be a moron to not try to talk to him...which is what I'll probably end up calling myself b/c I'll definitely be too scared.

Man, this guy is going to haunt my brain for awhile, I'm sure...

The End.

NOT like the city in Alaska

This post is about Juno. I saw it last weekend. There might be spoilers. I warned ya!

Here's my review: AWESOME! :) I really liked this. It's sweet, it's quirky...it's not perfect, but I really enjoyed it.

Ellen Page is adorable! Michael Cera does his shy, awkward kid thing again, but he does it so well, I love him too. (Though if he wants to continue acting, he should probably try to branch out a bit.)

JK Simmons — duh. The guy is fantastic. As the shrink on Law and Order, I loved him. I never really watched Oz, but what I did see of him was great. And please! Him as J. Jonah Jameson?? PERFECT! It's no different in this movie.

Great acting all around. Even Jennifer Garner was good! Normally, I can't stand her (though I haven't seen Alias yet), but she was kind of charming, in a sweet way, in this movie. A normal woman. I liked that.

But my favourite thing about this movie (well, that's a lie, I liked the story and the girl best, but this is the part I have stuck in my head): Jason Bateman. ::sigh:: I don't know how I have not been infatuated with him until now. And I'm considered a nutjob for falling in love with him b/c of his character in Juno...well, b/c he was basically a pedophile. Not THAT extreme, but...well, he thinks he's going to hook up with a 16-year-old!! Even I was creeped out by that at first, but when nothing happened, I felt better and then I just felt bad for him. He was in a marriage with a woman that didn't let him be who he wanted to be and considered wearing rock t-shirts "not growing up." Then, along comes this adorable girl who plays guitar with him, swaps music with him and watches gore flicks with him. The perfect girl for him...except for the fact that she's 16 and pregnant. I really did feel bad — creeped out, sure — but bad. And aside from that, his character was soooo cool! And he's so cute! I mean, how can I NOT fall for this:Seriously! ;-) And I forgot how I used to watch The Hogan Family religiously...though I think I had a crush on the stupid twin at the time...ugh. And I've always loved his sister, Justine Bateman. Mallory was my FAVOURITE female on television when I was a kid. (That's from Family Ties if you don't know, and if you don't know, then I don't want to know YOU.) You should have seen how happy I was when she showed up on Lois & Clark years later! :-P (Me=Dork.)

Anyway, great movie. Go see it.

The End.

PS So, of course I went and bought Season One of Arrested Development this weekend...
