#48 - All Impressed
...and half undressed
Tattooed Love Boys by the Pretenders is my favorite song to play on Guitar Hero at Jamie's house. That and Heart Shaped Box.
Anyway, the real reason I am posting is that I am rejoicing in my little YA fangirl heart because I just went to the library and three (3) of my holds were there: Love is a Many Trousered Thing, Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List and THE SWEET FAR THING(!!!!!). Georgia! Dave the Laugh! Kartik! Oh man I am so excited. I school work is going to suffer even more than it is already, which is kind of saying something because I haven't really done ANYTHING since the semester started.
In other news pertaining to me being a huge nerd: Did you know that Rachel Cohn is friends with Jaclyn Moriarty? I realize that most of you will probably have no reaction to this news whatsoever, but for me it is very jealous-making. I mean, why am I not friends with Jaclyn Moriarty? Why? WHY?

#47 - LIST FRIDAY, Friday Edition
"'Tis bitter cold/And I am sick at heart."
That is probably my favorite quote from all of Hamlet, and Hamlet has a lot of excellent quotes in it (what with, you know, it being Hamlet and all.) Shakespeare, man. Guy's a pro.
Anyway, it is bitter cold, and I am sick (more in head than at heart, but my sore throat has progressed to a full-on head cold) but I kind of don't mind this because it is the weekend and it is nice to have an excuse to stay home under many layers of clothing and blankets.

Things To Do On A Friday Night When You Are Sick
- Finish watching the final season of Arrested Development, watch the special feature where Will Arnett gets kind of teary eyed, get kind of teary eyed
- Play 6 Degrees of Seperation between yourself and Will Arnett, do it in three (cheat using IMDB)
- Consider baking cookies, hoping the oven will warm up the house, discard this idea because you will probably contaminate all the cookies with sneezing
- Watch Alpha Dog, but fast-forward through all the unpleasant parts (pretty much the entire movie), fill with wonderment at the realization that, even though there is all kinds of violence and ickyness in that movie, Emile Hirsch's facial hair is the hardest thing to look at in the whole thing

#46 - Maybe We Don't Want To Be Found
...maybe we don't want you tracking us down
That title has nothing to do with what I am about to talk about, but I am kind of nuts about that song right now. Actually, the song as a whole is kind of mediocre but the chorus playing on repeat in my brain.
ANYWAY, what this is really about is that I just watched Juno illegally on the internet and there were two (2) strange coincidences in it.
1. I do this thing where I call my best friend about 12 different nickname variations and a lot of them have the initials L.B. (they all come from the longest form of her name, Luanna Banana) and I was thinking that, in the interest of saving time, I should maybe add L.B. to the list except that it reminds me of liquor board stores so I can't and... I have forgotten where I am going with this. Wait! I remember! So I was thinking of calling a person L.B. and how probably that would be a totally plausible thing to call someone in a place with privatized liquor retailing and I wondered if there are any fictional characters named that and then, literally less than 36 hours later, I watched Juno and there WAS!
2. When I was in grade nine I used to walk home from school with my friend Campbell and for some reason I used to get kind of crazy and theatrical and sometimes I would sing songs really loudly outside my house while Campbell looked on, embarrassed and trying to leave. Anyway, my favorite song to sing in these circumstances was I'm Sticking With You, which is the only Velvet Underground song I can even name, let alone sing from beginning to end, and for some reason I was reminded of the a few days ago (weeks, maybe? Does anyone happen to remember?) and I started singing it (I am always in public when I do these things. Why?) and then , mere days (or possibly weeks) later, there it was smack dab in the middle of Juno.
Strange, no?
I have to say, even though it was almost too clever (even the craft services company on that movie had a cute name: T.V. Dinners, good grief), and I kind of wanted to not like it (because I am just contrary like that sometimes, have you noticed?), I couldn't. I couldn't not like it. I was totally suckered by the whole wise-cracking-teenager-hamburger-phone-indie-music shebang. Also, it reminded me how much I: a) want to be Allison Janney when I grow up, and b) love orange Tic-Tacs.
Long, rambling post brought to you by: the fact that it is 2 o'clock in the morning. I am even procrastinating sleep now.
P.S. Thoughts on the new colours? I am to bored to go back to green.

#45 - LIST FRIDAY, Back on Track Edition
Jeez, I take a few weeks off over the holidays and suddenly I am taking shit from all sides. That is actually kind of nice, I guess. Guess what I got for Christmas from Lua B? A list book, that is what. So now, when I am all tired a grumpy and idea-less I have a fall back. It kind of feels like cheating though, so I will try not to use it TOO much.
I decided it wasn't to late for New Years resolutions, so here they are:
New Years Resolutions For The Year Beginning January 1st 2008
The Pets I Have Had, And Their Names
I decided it wasn't to late for New Years resolutions, so here they are:
New Years Resolutions For The Year Beginning January 1st 2008
- Do not watch TV or movies (unless I go out to a movie) on Saturdays
- Get an A in French 101
- Keep my room clean(er)
- Cook more, and healthier
- Post List Fridays on time, and do more non-list posts
The Pets I Have Had, And Their Names
- Maude (cat), died tragically by falling out of a tree when I was... 4 or 5 maybe?
- Piglet (cat), actually belonged to my sister, who has a history of naming her pets after other animals
- Annie (budgie), got a bird-cough and died
- Reepicheep (hamster), cute, soft, possibly suicidal, lived in a cage that hung from the ceiling
It Is Friday...
... and I will be back to regularly scheduled programming post-stat. A new list tomorrow, I promise. Right now I am going to bed.

Happy New Year!
I am in Edmonton family-ing it up but I will be back to regularly scheduled blogging soon. Is it too late for me to make a New Years resolution? If it's not then what should it be?
