My reunion is this weekend. I saw the organizers when I bought my tickets. I then had second thoughts on attending. I still feel like the odd duck.
Being an adult is a continuous disappointment.

"Busted Afternoon" by the Old 97s |

I now have a twitter, so please follow me. I don't post often so I'm like the equivalent of a pet rock.
Also, this is fun reading:
"The Women of McSweeneys.net" which has the best pieces from McSweeneys that was written by women

I'm pretty much captivated by the news from Iran. I'm even thinking about getting a twitter to follow along. I have difficulty believeing that people are concerned with other superficial stuff when this is going on or a national health care system in the U.S. is slowly being stymied.

Tonight is my friend Erica's birthday party. There will be a pool and I'm wearing a tankini.

I have loved Star Trek since middle school, so I was initially apprehensive about the new movie. I saw it opening weekend and It was excellent!!
I've been a fan of Zach Quinto since he first appeared on Heroes, but Chris Pine impressed me by not imitating Shatner. I'm surprised at the amount of fan girl love these two guys have gotten. They're...well, imho, they're not attractive. Okay, well, Zach has that wonderful mix of talent and personality that makes him very attractive, but I didn't get the fangirling.
..but my opinion was altered when I saw Pinto.
Yep, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) evancalous create a morph of Zach Quinto and Chris Fine. It made me appreciate what qualities the fangirls love.
Still, Pinto is clearly more than the sum of his parts.
I swear the next Star Trek post wil be about these four topics: more of the supporting character, more Bones, my new love/appreciation/fangirling or Karl Urban, and the gender imbalance and possible female characters to include.
Also, please read to the post below on the 2009 Eisner Award nominees.

Today was weird.
I was at the bus stop and this little kid came up to me and said "Hey, lady! How are you doing?" and then he hugged me. I'm not used to being hugged by a little blond, blue-eyed boy. He then told everyone on the bus that it was his sixth birthday today.
It was a good sign for the day.
Work went well, and I helped a co-worker edit her paper. And I'm really enjoying The Buddha’s Apprentices: More Voices of Young Buddhists by Sumi Loundon.
On the downside, on the way home everytime I saw a McDonald's, I wanted a Filet-O-Fish. Why? Because of this youtube of Skateboard P:

I know I should be doing my homework, but today I saw this cover:
And I've decided that my Halloween costume shal be Zatanna:
I also got Scott Pilgrim - Vol 5 tonight. I read it in one sitting. Amazing stuff! I can't wait for the final battle royale. Bryan Lee O'Malley is a genius.

"The Quilt" by Gym Class Heroes |
] |
It's that time of the semester. Every semester around mid-term, I get a really bad grade and/or I question what am I doing in graduate school. Do I really want this degree? Yes. Can I handle this? I hope.
Also, as a distraction I've become infatuated with an unattainable guy.

"Shove It" (remix) by Santogold |
] |
This originally from Funnyordie.com, but I had trouble embedding it from that site.
Why is this so funny? The out of context crying scenes? The poor editing? The fact that they occasionally laugh, smile, and break character during the scene? Or watching James Franco pwn his brother David, comedy-wise?

A: Texas is important in a Democratic primary. In all my years of living in Texas it's the first time I've seen national political ads on TV, Democratic politicians stumping, and celebrities trying to help and support said Democratic candidates.
So which celebrity came to my little University on the prairie?
Hint: 1:57

| My Pop Culture Bucket List |
[29 Jan 2008|11:04pm] |
-Go on Jeopardy and win for that one day.
-Go on the Price is Right and win the final showdown so that I win both prize packages that include trips abroad, 2 cars, and RV camper.
-Be L&O character that first finds the body. Or the character the detective have to go back to and talk to again because I was holding back some vital info or clue.
-Write and publish highly acclaimed short stories.
-Have my first novel published and it sells blockbusters and the seven novels thereafter.
-To promote the debut novel I go on the Daily Show and attempt to molest Jon Stewart.
- Direct my first novel as a indie feature film that gets an Oscar nomination.
The cast must include some British heavyweights and cool young ethnic actors. It also starts the rumor I'm having a lesbian affair with Parminder Nagra but I'm really fucking Kal Penn who are both in the film.
-Direct a second film which is about Neil Gaiman's Endless. Evanna Lynch (aka Luna Lovegood) is Delirium.
-Marry Adewale Aguinaybe-Aguino (aka MR. Eko/Adebisi) and have kids. But he is kind enough to overlook the fact I sometimes cheat on him with actors in my films.
- I give up directing and go back to writing those 3 other critically acclaimed novels.
-I win the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Lately, I've been mostly using my LJ to post on ONTD, but I'm still here. Actually, I've been really busy with work this past week, too.
I'm totally ready to get geeked out for the Heroes season premiere tonight.
