Beautiful, you talk too much!

I found this awesome blog post with old-school comics about l-u-v and they are pretty awesome. Head to their website--strangely titled "Lady, That's My Skull"--to check 'em all, but here are some of my favorites.

Just FYI, this is totally what Alex said to me when we got engaged.


This one is bee-utiful! I love that his name is Rod...


I get a kick out of this one too. Oh, women in the workplace! When will they learn? Also, did she use the phrase gold-bricking? I was so curious about this that I looked it up. Turns out, it isn't dirty at all.

Some Stuff

This cracks me up. Check out sexy Colin Firth taking his first stab at Guitar Hero. Nice!

In other news, I have been loving BSG and Lost, but I've been kinda disappointed in The Office. I haven't been crazy about these last few episodes, particularly the last one. Am I the only one? Anyone else not impressed with The Office of late?

Also, I saw Baby Mama last night, and Forgetting Sarah Marshall a few days ago. I liked both! Baby Mama was a little formulaic, which was disappointing, but it was funny and Greg Kinnear was kind of a babe. I was pleasantly surprised by Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I expected it to be okay, but I ended up really enjoying it. On an Apatow meter, I'd rate it somewhere between Knocked Up and Superbad. Awesome!

Awesome

So I had five interviews in the past two days and I got offered 3 jobs within 24 hours. Crazy! Anyway, I accepted a job at a high school and it should be pretty good. So now I can go back to blogging about useless crap like I always do. For example, did you know that Brad Pitt was once featured on an episode of Freddy's Nightmares, the A Nightmare on Elm Street-themed Tales from the Crypt rip-off show? He played Rick, a young, suave college student who eloped with his girlfriend and got hit by a car. Check it out!

Also, Alex and I went to Disneyland this week. We got back Thursday so I could do my marathon interviews, but it was a nice little trip. It was short and sweet, even though I was kinda stressed out about life, the universe, and everything. I, like Alex, love the overpriced food at Disneyland as well. My favorites are the Cafe Orleans and the Blue Bayou, but I also like to eat anything served in a bread bowl.

Take your chances, roll the dice

Check out my favorite American Idol contestant singing a pretty awesome song! Realize that I am really really nerdy! It is important to note, however, that I did not call this performance "divine," like the blurb on the picture says. Also, I turned down that job. I didn't feel good about it, so I turned it down. I had to trust my instincts on this one.

Note: The lil' video thing changed to be Regis and Kelly. And since I do not wish to be affiliated with that shiz, I removed it. Later.

My head a-splode

So I've been going through the interview process to get myself a teaching job. And get this, the very first interview I had offered me a job. I have no idea how to decide whether to take this job (which is a great job in a bad location) or to roll the dice and see what else turns up (which will probably be an okay job in a good location). And while this should be really good and exciting, I am not handling it well. I've always been really indecisive and I really, really hate change. So now, I'm sitting at the crossroads of some hobo-core change, and my head is going to explode. Also, don't mock me. I'm likely to slapjack your brisket, philly-syle, if you do. And that is not a good thing, if you were confused. Anyway, I'll keep you updated on my exploding head and such.

This is the kind of peace of mind I'm looking for:


Nice!

Movie woes

So I was sitting around, checking out the movies playing at my local theater, when I got thinking about how crappy the movies lately have been. Naturally, it is that time of the year, but I'm really growing tired of it. Come to think of it, I haven't even seen that many movies lately! Leatherheads and Drillbit Taylor were both harmlessly mediocre, as was Be Kind, Rewind. I still want to see In Bruges and Married Life, but Alex and I have a hard time convincing ourselves to go to see movies at the Broadway due to the crappiness of the theater combined with the snobbiness of the employees (Regency, you will be missed). Doomsday was crazy/awesome, but other than that, I have to revisit Juno or No Country for Old Men to see an awesome movie in a local theater.

On the bright side, there's some pretty awesome movies coming soon. Iron Man looks completely awesome, and I'm also pretty excited for the new Indiana Jones movie. Also, I'm really glad that the TV season will be picking back up. The first episode of Battlestar Galactica was awesome, and The Office will be new this week as well. This season of Lost has been friggin' great, and I'm looking forward to watching some more 30 Rock. Also, if anyone has seen a good movie lately, let me know!

10 TV characters I'm kind of in love with

So I've been watching a lot of TV lately (as faithful readers can probably tell), and I've been thinking about all the TV characters that I sorta have the hots for.
Without further ado, here's my top 10 TV folk that I have minor crushes on:

#10: Bret from Flight of the Conchords. All I have to say is, "Bret, you've got it going on."

#9: Lex Luthor from Smallville. Now, I haven't watched Smallville for a while, but I was always amazed at how much sexier Lex was than Clark. Regardless of the baldness!

#8: Jack Donaghy from 30 Rock. Yes, he's kind of old. But he's got style and class. Favorite quote, when asked why he's wearing a tux: "It's after 6, Lemon. What am I, a farmer?"

#7: Sayid Jarrah from Lost. Holy crap, Sayid is a babe. He's always torturing people and being a BAMF. I especially loved that episode where he's Ben's hit man. Before this season, I thought they couldn't make Sayid any cooler. Turns out I was wrong.

#6: Jim Halpert from The Office. What can you say about Jim? He's just so likable and charming. Also, I just read about how John Krasinski was going to be an English teacher if acting didn't pan out. Sexy.

#5: Daniel Desario from Freaks and Geeks. Oh man, James Franco is a good-looking guy. There's just something about the laid-back slacker coolness that is Daniel Desario that gets me every time. I'm upset that the show didn't keep going and maybe give Daniel and Lindsay a chance to hook it up.

#4: Michael Bluth from Arrested Development. I am quite a fan of Michael Bluth. He's such a good guy, and he's got that great hair. Also, he named his son George Michael, which is pretty sweet. He's sort of awkward and bumbling--like in that episode where he keeps accidentally spitting out his gum--but he does it with charm.

#3: Gaius Baltar from Battlestar Galactica. I know he's sort of a villain and he kind of caused the downfall of the human race, but he's just so... kickass! I love his character because he's not exactly evil, he's just incredibly cowardly. Also, with the shaggy hair, glasses, and accent, he's pretty frakkin' sexy.

#2: Malcolm Reynolds from Firefly. All my readers probably know that I have a great amount of Nathan Fillion love, so this one's probably not a surprise. Every time I watch Firefly, though, I am amazed at how awesome Mal Reynolds is. He's so funny and violent; it kills me every time.

#1: Special Agent Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks. Again, not a surprise, probably. He shares my love of pie, which I like (although I'm not a fan of a damn fine cup of coffee). It pains me that they brought in friggin Annie the nun instead of letting Audrey Horne and Dale Cooper hook it up. Ridiculous. I can't really explain my adoration, but if you've seen the show--and what awesome person hasn't?--then you understand that there is just no substitute for Special Agent Dale Cooper.
