YAY COLD!

[cleolinda]

IT IS SO COLD, YAY! I don't think I've ever pulled out Queen Susan this early in the year. Although that was partly because I forgot that my mother had put my two sweater coats into the cedar closet, and I was tearing up the house in despair looking for them (the blue one is gorgeous! and the black one has a HOOD, y'all) so I would have something to wear outside. Next up: the hot chocolate. I hope the mini-marshmallows aren't stale.

Today's journal flashback: since I'm running out of days and substantial entries, let's do some more weird dreams. How about the time Dream!Jennifer Connelly and I ran into... someone; the one where Tyler Durden and I fled the yippy dogs; and then I nearly dated a vampire but I had to catch a shuttle to the moon.

I will be very sad when Pushing Daisies gets cancelled. But I won't be surprised.

[glass-radical.livejournal.com]

Oh Joaquin. You crazy, son.

[viorica8957.livejournal.com]

I'd snark about how Zac Efron is going to make Footloose suck, but having been in the stage show, I can say with some confidence that it's going to suck regardless of who's cast.

*stares at the Jennifer Hudson news* I . . . uh . . . wow. Something tells me that that ad campaign in going to backfire, and I am not going to feel sorry for the company at all.

[robinmc.livejournal.com]

That red Hello Kitty dress is amazing. I kinda want one. It almost makes me want to have a wedding so I can get married in it. I don't even like Hello Kitty.

If RPattz cuts his hair off, what is he going to do for a sheepish nervous habit? Then again, maybe he knows exactly what happened to Keri Russell and thinks that might be a good idea after all the recent craziness.

OMG the mass "Thriller" dance. I love people. And I want in on this next year.

re: MST3K 20th:

It's got one of my favorite episodes, with one of my favorite riffs ("Wow, the future conditional pluperfect subjunctive") and the best ending credits in the history of anything, ever. When my brother and I were bored at family functions etc, we used to go through those credits under our breath ("Tusk!") and giggle madly. Which didn't work out so well at say, church.

[ellaafleck.livejournal.com]

Yes ABC! I have become recently in love with Pushing Daisies, I hope the ratings improve. But i'm excited to watch it this week! I'm so sick of this election.

YAY! HOT CHOCOLATE!

[jharrison19.livejournal.com]

really, 8 flights delayed for a poodle? Damn. I also find it hilarious that the british prime minister made a public statement about russell brand's inappropriate behavior. i guess the uk is just small enough.

NOES THE HAIR! how will i play mah "hands through THE hair" drinking game if there is no hair? i give myself points for calling your HOOR assessment of bella... i was just waiting for that to pop up on twihard comments. hehehe
poor esme :( and i cant decide between obama or daises. oh wait, im going to mellow mushroom trivia!

[clodia-risa.livejournal.com]

No! Joaquin Phoenix! Don't do it! You're too good to quit!!!

I watched the Twilight trailer the other day (it was on ABC family during Gilmore Girls, don't judge me). I was pleasantly surprised to hear that Kristen Stewart's voice was, well, low. I was expecting to hear shrill or soprano or Marilyn Monroe breathy or something. But no, she's got a nice clear low voice. I don't know why, but it makes me more likely to see the movie. Maybe because I know that she won't drive me mad with a squeaky voice or shrieking even higher in fear. But it seems a silly reason, even to me.

I really don't understand why they aren't bringing Terrence Howard back for Iron Man 2.

[mercat.livejournal.com]

Oh, I forgot to say this as well. If you wouldn't mind passing it on, that would be great...

There are several different movements in action to try to save Pushing Daisies, so I thought I'd link you to them: Help Bees Help Daisies (http://sites.google.com/site/helpbeeshelpdaisies/Home), Pies for Poverty, Honey for the Homeless (http://community.livejournal.com/pushthedaisies/), and a mail-in (http://abc.go.com/primetime/pushingdaisies/index?pn=mb&cat=25218&tid=485510) (more info (http://abc.go.com/primetime/pushingdaisies/index?pn=mb&cat=25218&tid=487587)).



(Also I'm pretty psyched that it's cold, too. It means I won't die in my four-layer Joker costume, haha. BUT ALSO CHRISTMAS COMES SOONER YAY)

Oh, I got that downtime. It was after midnight and I went to post, and by the time I finished writing my entry the site was down.

...so of course I refreshed every five minutes till it was up again, do I look like somebody with a life to you?

[gwynnywonk.livejournal.com]

So uh are you actually watching pushing daisies now? I asked a while ago and you hadn't seen it but it's been showing up in your linkspam quite a bit.

It's an adorable show and I will be despondent when it is inevitably canceled. :(

[cosette-esk.livejournal.com]

I went to junior high and high school with Kenny Ortega's nephew, and he threw a graduation party at his hugenormous house. Ashley Tisdale was there, I felt extremely out of place. But hey! they had a chocolate fountain so who cares?

Keanu Reeves takes stand, says he didn't run into pap.

Seeing as how I work in a gynecological office, that headline caused me some difficulty until I clicked the link.

[pinstripe-bindi.livejournal.com]

Oh, Joaquin Phoenix. I have an insane crush on him (although it's leveled off from a few years ago, when it threatened to blossom into obsessive stalking), but every time he speaks and it's not acting, I want to lay my fingers gently on his lips and say "Shhh... don't talk."
