Why am I awake?

So... it's 2AM.

It's too hot to sleep... I need a quieter ceiling fan.

It wouldn't be this hot if I didn't have a laptop on my lap...

I'm typing way too many of these "..." things, aren't I?

Itunes is under the impression that I want to buy the rest of the Archies CD that I bought "Sugar, sugar" off of.

Yes, I bought Sugar, sugar.

No, I'm not embarrassed by that fact.

Good night.

But, but... I love Charlie!

I had a feeling, an awful feeling, that Charlie, my druggie "bloody rock god", would die a stupid, "What are you thinking? That was dumb! You should have done it this way!" sort of death. And, really, he did. Charlie Pace, you will be missed.













That is, if he's really dead, and with LOST you can hold out a little, tiny bit of hope. Though not much, really.

Anyway, about the fact that the island scenes were the real flashback: I'm such a moron for not realizing that the RAZR phone was a clue that this was all happening after the crash! I noticed the new, snazzy phone, but it didn't click.
Why didn't Locke shoot Jack. I wanted him to. However, I was angry that my "bloody rock god" had just drowned and wanted someone to pay for it. I was displeased with Jack, so he seemed as good a choice as any; after that I'd have chosen Kate just because I can't stand her. Figures that they're the only two guaranteed to live.
Hurley rocks.
Whose casket was that?
So Jack is capable of growing more than five o'clock shadow.
Sawyer is awesome, though not, yet yes. (awful grammar, but I don't care, I mean read the rest of my sentences in this entry, come on) I didn't believe Tom either, dude's too sarcastic to believe.
Way to greet your daughter after 16 years, Danielle. "Will you help me tie him up?" *thumbs up*
I was so worried that Jin was dead. Not Sayid, and certainly not Mr. "I'm a dentist, not Rambo" Bernard. Just Jin.
I'm falling out of love with Des...
Walt, how you've grown...
Why won't that eye patch guy just stinking DIE already!!!
Wah, Charlie's dead!

Squee like a fangirl!!!

I just watched the nine minute preview for Ratatouille on Yahoo! Movies. I cannot wait for this adorable, pretty, funny, cute, highly anticipated film from Brad Bird and Pixar.
Actually, I'm nervous that the film will disappoint. Why? Because it's the very first Pixar film that I like the teaser for. All the other teasers made me think "What the heck? That looks so stupid." This time, I was smitten immediately. I've been quoting the line "You don't know what it is, yet you're eating it." ever since. Oddly, I've had many opportunities for saying that... must be living with my Dad.
I adore little Remy. The scenery is stunning. I just can't wait for this movie.

Tonight, Dancing with the Stars ends tonight. I want Joey to win, but I don't expect it. In two days So You Think You Can Dance will begin again. I prefer the latter. Yet, I'm not expecting to be wowed too much this year. Maybe because Benji can only happen once in a lifetime, right? Yes, I'm being over the top and sarcastic. Thanks for asking.

I have e-mails to write... goodnight!

At Target they are selling a series of CDs called "Influences". I bought two of these CDs, one for Jason Mraz and another for Jamie Cullum. The songs that they have chosen to represent the sounds that inspired them make me wonder why I have more songs by Jamie Cullum than I have by Jason Mraz. I don't own a full CD by either one of them, but I consider them to be two of my favorite musicians.
I'm not entirely sure why I bought the Jamie C, album, I am well aware that his style doesn't always mesh with my taste. I had a feeling I wouldn't find too many songs that I loved, and I didn't. However, I consider his "Your Song" cover to be worth the price of the CD. Add in a Herbie Hancock track and I'm not entirely disappointed.
I love the Jason Mraz disc, I can hear a little of him in each track. It really does make me wonder why I don't like more of his music. The music of his that I like, I love, but everything else I just don't care. As far as the influences go, I love how mellow the tracks seem; and there are so many nice voices.
I've been thinking how in the future some artists will cite people like Britney Spears and Avril Lavigne as their inspiration to go into music. It makes me want to weep, really. But then again, we'll have people inspired by Jason Mraz, Jamie Cullum, John Mayer or other actual musicians. There will always be crud and there will always be quality. There's nothing new under the sun.

I watched three movies today. She's the Man, Just my Luck and By Way of the Stars. That last one won't be familiar to most people. It doesn't deserve to be. It's the worst movie I watched today. In a seemingly endless and extraordinarily absurd plot my life seemed to waste away; but I couldn't stop watching. It was something like a car wreck. She's the Man was the second worst of the day. I really only watched because it was based on my favorite Shakespeare play. Yeah, my favorite play of his is about a cross dressing girl... I'm weird. But anyway, It was also absurd. It didn't really hold my attention. I looked up every now and then to wonder who in their right mind would mistake Amanda Bynes for a guy. Just my Luck was the least horrible. It wasn't a good movie. It was saved only by the fact that I find Chris Pine attractive. I know, not very deep of me, but hey, the dude's cute. His character was sweet as well, which helped. It didn't hurt that the band wasn't too awful, in my opinion, and they had accents.

Back again

So... we had some issues with the wireless Internet access in the house and I haven't been able to surf the net in days. Yeah, I could use the desktop, but I no longer feel comfortable spending more than about 10 minutes sitting at a desk.
Bought my new ipod yesterday. Shiny, clean, black pretty little thing that it is. Did they improve the screen resolution on the 5.5? My 5th generation ipod screen never looked this clear. Then again, maybe I'm hypnotized by this little beauty's novelty and "new-ness". I love the search feature. I've only played around with it for one afternoon, but the battery seems to last longer too. Throw in my pretty new pink, hard case and I've got an ipod that's prettier than yours, nyah nyah. OK, just kidding.
Hey, how about the Office season finale? I'll just ignore everything else that wasn't about "JAM" (though it was all great) and say It's about time, Pam and Jim. Now, if the writer's keep things somewhat realistic (not too realistic because that's not what TV is about, anyway) we'll still have some issues that are interesting, engaging and funny concerning them. Please, Office, don't jump the shark.
Surprisingly, Music and Lyrics was really cute. I don't dislike Hugh Grant, he's just boring. He doesn't act, he does the same thing in every single movie, you see one Hugh Grant character you see them all. The same with Drew Barrymore, too, really. But it was sweet and cute and just funny enough not to be bland. If it weren't for the "album only" restrictions, I admit, I'd buy a few of the songs, particularly "Don't Write Me Off". Hey, I never claimed to have "great" taste in music.
I'm so glad Charlie isn't dead. Yet. Darn that "yet"... His flashbacks and story this past week were great. I love him more now. Charlie has always been my favorite LOST character, eventually being tied with Des, but now he's far and away above Des in my heart.

Man, I need to make "real" friends, not the fictional ones...

That's Life

I bought Michael Buble's newest Cd "Call Me Irresponsible" today. I'm sorely disappointed. It's not that the Cd is exactly bad, it's just that it's not actually good. It's more of the same, in a bad sort of way. I like standards, and I've liked most, nearly all, of his previous songs, and I don't dislike this album. I just feel as though I just bought things I already owned.
I suppose that's a big problem with covers, you've heard it all before. The real problem is that the arrangements don't feel new. I realize that having background voices, like band members shouting or a gospel choir backing him up, is new to him and his Cd's, but it's not new enough. He does have two new songs that he co-wrote (most of his fans claim he wrote them, but if he wrote them why are there two other people with writing credits?), and I adore those. Well, let me clarify, I adore Everything and I can see myself one day loving Lost. Maybe if he took the time and effort to write more of his own material I'd be satisfied. I read one persons review of Everything and they didn't like it because it was too different. Too pop, they claimed. I think this guy needs some change. He used to seem new, now he seems old. I'm grateful that I didn't feel like dishing out another $10 for the special addition, which is only special because of one extra song. I would have been truly angry had they gotten $20 for this mediocrity.
