I need to pull my socks up. Obsessing about tv shows and sports is not going to help me graduate. This will be the last tutorial where I look like an idiot who obviously did not prepare enough because she woke up at 3 am to watch a tennis match (and it is NOT arguable whether it was worth it, adorable victory smile or not). ARGH. STOP BEING DUMB AND DISTRACTED AND GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER.

Note to self:

Always, always always check your dumbass timetable instead of relying on your over-caffeinated brain to figure out when lecture is. To think I actually got my ass all the way to school thinking I had a good hour & a half to prepare for it when actually it was starting in half an hour. And then turning up confounded when your classmates were filing out of class.

balls.

Is this why Lorne Michaels insisted on pushing 30 Rock back so that Tina can spoof Palin on those Thursday-SNLs?!! Are the people working for him political geniuses who can make super accurate predictions like how they knew it was gonna be Obama v McCain a year before everybody else?

Lol. Just kidding. On a serious note, it scares the shit out of me that it was so easy for her to have a high chance of being the next POTUS.

Also, they had Alec Baldwin in the broadcast booth tonight and he was hilarious. We rewound a couple of his statements just to listen to them over again.

Alec Baldwin was doing commentary for Nadal's match?! Dammit, I don't watch Nadal matches because it takes forever for him to serve. Argh, come on Alec, if you do commentary for Roger's match tomorrow I would totally stay up till 1am to watch them.

So apparently RDJ & Tina Fey are gonna work together, but only in lending their voices to a superhero cartoon. Well I guess that's a baby step to experiment with 2 really awesome people but I want MOAR. Oh and it's produced by Ben Stiller's company.

Fey voiced a burrito in the film version of Aqua Teen Hunger Force Awse. I love how there's always a mention of food in her work.

Oh and this makes me feel like I just had a root beer float. Man I almost typed root bear float, I am soo tired and fucked for my assignment this Saturday.

Words cannot express how glorious this blog is so:



D'awww. I just wanna squish him, freckles and all.

A huge BOO to my local theaters pulling out Baby Mama from their schedule in favour of Meet Dave. W.T.F. I waited for that for FOUR MONTHS. You forced me to watch the bootleg! If they pull Mamma Mia! I swear I will cut someone.

YESSS! He got his Gold with Wawrinka! Great match, especially pleased to see Roger enjoying it so much! He was cheering, getting pumped up, beaming and of course celebrating like a big dork. <33 At least this gives him something to cheer about before Monday's inevitable. ALLEZ ROGER!

( Some pics to celebrate! )



Aw. Proud of you Rogi.

Carell, Fey ready for 'Date Night'

FUCK YES! My two favourite people working together?! The only thing better would be if they wrote the movie together instead of some guy who wrote Shrek The Third (ugh), but can't complain. They would improvise the hell out of it.

Story follows a couple who find their routine date night becomes much more than just dinner and a movie.

Sounds alright. I am going to go NUTS waiting for this film, which would probably only be ready end 2009 (Oscar anyone?). My week has finally gone from bad to good crazy. WHEE!

In other not-so-important-news/whine-fest, I have been REALLY neglecting this space because zomg college is TOUGH. & stressful. & it's only my first week! FLARG.

I am already behind on the readings & preparation required, which is terrifying in class because everything goes over my head and I only have myself to blame because I'm a tremendous procrastinator who scores through route learning at the very last minute. BUT at least the stuff I'm learning is cool & relevant & I care about it, unlike memorizing what Group VII elements react with what crap.

Scott & Lemon? I bet there'd be fanfic by the time the movie comes out. (Don't go proving me wrong interweb! Make it work!)

EDIT: OK I'M OFFICIALLY SPAZZING.

Alec Baldwin is in talks to join Meryl Streep in the untitled romantic comedy that Nancy Meyers scripted and will direct for Universal.

FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKKK YEEEESSSS! My head has exploded. Please let it happen. I will cut off my arm if needed. Ok not really, but I will watch it a lot of times in theater & coerce everybody I know to go watch both movies. Is it 2009 already?

GAH! School in 10 hours. AGAIN? Where did my 8 months of holiday go?

I should not have had that coconut. Oof.

This has to be one of the most bizarre/hilarious things I have ever seen. iz intrigued.

Also, what is up with this weather? It is so wrong that I am sweating as I type this when I have a fan blowing straight at my face. STOP THE BURNING PEOPLE.

I finally got to watch Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog and it was so good. NPH is so damn talented and the songs are really catchy, which is bad news for my sister because I keep singing the songs all day that have lyrics like "They say it's better the second time. You get to do the weird stuff" which is freaking her out. hee. Looking forward to the sequel!

AND I got to watch EASON CHAN in concert on Saturday and it was so AWESOME! More on that later, but I screamed for 3 hours and went hoarse but he sang for 3 hours and still could belt out his classics at the end. I'm so proud to say I grew up with his music.

As of today, I'm finally a college student! WOO! Had to pee in a cup to get my student card. The medical checkup centre was insane but at least I got to meet a Swedish gal who was on exchange so that was pretty cool. And I transferred my music from my ipod to my new laptop, refreshed my userpics (15 is not enough. -gazes longingly at paid accounts-), uploaded this bitching mood theme by cecism and went for a swim so I'm pretty exhausted now, but yay for having a productive day!

michellek, I think you would enjoy this (again, if you have already seen it)



He just oozes talent and charm in this. Tina is right, he looks better, younger even, with his hair short. Found it through tina-fey.org

So I did a really unclassy thing today. It started with a bunch of 10-ish year olds making noise and having a jolly old time treating the dinner place we were at like their home, where they are obviously kings and queens as their parents did nothing to ask them to give the rest of the restaurant some peace and at times even talked louder than them. This went on for half an hour while my dad fumed at the next table. Then one of the parents asked for the bill but it was full house so the waitresses were not very attentive and the kids thought it would be fun to start a chorus of "EXCUSE ME" across the entire restaurant to get the attention of the staff at the other end. When they had hit the highest note, tired and cranky old dad snapped and shouted "OI!" at them. And the drama began. -cue um, dramatic music-

Kids Mum shouts back at him : EXCUSE ME, DO YOU MIND?

And classy me snaps back: LADY, your kids have been disturbing the entire restaurant for the last half hour!

Kids Mum: LIKE YOU SAID, THEY ARE KIDS!

Then Dad goes on about how it's not their bloody house, and kids mum shouts back it's not your (dad's) bloody house either. So the whole restaurant went deathly silent (it was a pretty cool effect) but slowly everybody else just went on eating. Then when the kids started making noise again, the mum went 'Don't make so much noise or the uncle will shout at you again!'

Sigh, I know I made a huge mistake to snap back because I shouldn't have lowered myself to their level and I feel really ape-ish now but I felt really bad for my Dad. And then I felt worst after when I realise that I was becoming him. I love him and everything but he does not have the highest EQ and he knows he is stuck in a rut but refuses to do anything about it and just spends his time watching tv and complaining about how other families can be so happy but not ours. Ironically, he hints that its because other families have kids that will bring them joy and happiness forever and pressures my sister to get married soon blahblahblah.

So yeah. I feel really squirmish and excuse me while I go pick fleas off my back.

At least there's goofy!Colin to cheer me up:

I have been kinda neglecting lj and my f-list thanks to my internship which while at times fun, is completing exhausting and eating my soul. Ok not that dramatic but it's definitely not doing good things to it. Also I'm getting cross eyed from staring at the computer all day.

ANYWAYS. Loads of stuff to squee about like how much love Tina Fey is getting from the Emmys, how the whole cast of Mamma Mia! is so damn cute and all that, how TDK was bigger than awesome and how much I'm loving Weeds this season. Like I'm-so-invested-in-every-storyline-&-not-annoyed-by-anyone-in-the-cast-love. Welcome back show. I can't believe I put off watching it for 2 weeks because I just collapse on my bed when I come home from work. Weeds>>>>>Sleep.

( TDK thoughts; SPOILERS )

So yeah TDK rocked and everybody should see it in the theaters because they do deserve every single cent it earns.

Weeds is just awesome this season. I love the new direction it is taking and it's making me discover my deep love for Nancy despite the crap she puts her family through. MLP is very VERY underrated.

edit: This definitely needs to be mentioned: the Nancy/Celia hoyay stuff is very hawt and badass. Lost tooth and all.

OH GAWD. No channel is showing the Emmy nominations announcement except fucking FOX news? -cries- The douches now are complaining about how the big 3 anchors are following Obama overseas but didn't follow McCain. And that equals media bias. right. They are just sulking that they weren't invited to the party.

 

ooh NPH & Kristin! STOP TALKING OVER THEM FOX DOUCHES. FUCK NOW THEY ARE NOT CONTINUING THE BROADCAST AND ONLY SHOW RYAN SEACREST'S LAMEASS NOMINATION BEFORE CUTTING?! Why are these people on the same planet as me?! ARGH.

Ok, I woke up to really bad news regarding Rogi's lost and I was super bummed out the whole day. Then I went to tutor this really sweet/blur kid and his whole family was so warm and nice, it was pretty cool.

Then I found out that capslock30rock was created which is pretty much one of the most awesome things ever because I do need another outlet to gush about how great this show is.

ALSO, I came home to a package from UNIVERSAL and guess wad? That button campaign for the Emmy's that Universal held online and which I submitted my address as a joke since I live on a whole other continent 24 hours away from New York: SENT ME THE WHOLE FUCKING PACKAGE OF BUTTONS. I have my Baldwin-Fey button (which is so awesome I can't even..), a BELIEVE-IN-STEVE button (woo!) and a HUGH FUCKING LAURIE button!!! (plus many other buttons from shows I don't watch. I do like the Conan is our man and the Give me LIFE or Give me Death! ones). BUTTON CLASSICS!!heh.

So thank you cosmic forces of the world for turning my day around so tremendously. I hope they gave some hugs to Roger though. That interview with McEnroe was heartbreaking.

oh yeah, they showed the Friends episode of Alec this morning and he just looked like he was having a lot of fun. Also, Man of the Year was on tv this past weekend and Tina appeared out of nowhere and I basically spazzed out in front of my parents like an idiot.

I can't bear to watch the match. I'm a big wuss. 2 sets down and Roger is just so out of it. He gets super tight on the big points. 12 BREAK POINTS AND HE CONVERTED JUST A FEW. This is his baby, he has to find some way to turn it around right? I don't know if he would break down at the end. I have never seen a champion fall before and I'm fucking scared.

Roger, I still believe in you.

Thanks Rogi that was beautiful to watch! Worth staying up till 1 am. Congratulations on reaching your 3094829 consecutive semi-final.

note to Ancic: Lovely to see serve and volley but if the return is that low and you are 6 ft 5, don't pick it up! It was exhausting just watching him do runs and squats every single minute.

Damn the Nadal v Murray match is next. But I am just exhausted from 3 consecutive 10-hour work days.

Some sexy Rogi to end my day :D. GRAMPS-CARDIGAN-LOVE!

 

Just got my new laptop and I abso-fucking-lutely love it. This Live Writer thingy is making posting pictures helluva lot easier. Testing some sexy Roger pictures. Will do a proper pic spam later.

edit: Ok I take it back. Not that cool since it's taking a freaking long time to publish.

Thank you for taking out Djerk. <333 That was the most satisfying match this year.




Now Rogi, make your way to the final and own Nadal's ass! Although when did you get to know Gwen Stefani?
