psyyyyych! (i’m bring that back, in case i didn’t tell you) i don’t know how to adapt books into tv shows, but that’s okay, neither does anyone else!
i’ll start with exhibit a: sex and the city
i’m actually not even qualified to determine how legit the transference of SATC is from book to tv to movie, mostly because the only reason i watch sex and the city is because one night i was watching 48 hours mystery and accidentally slipped onto my tv remote (save for another post). low and behold, sex and the city was on and i couldn’t stop watching it. i used to not be able to stand sjp ( sara jessica parker. i’m trendy like that) except for in failure to launch (again,save for another post and don’t judge) and considered myself to be the last person to watch this show. but now i can’t stop, i even downloaded the first season and have a season pass on my tivo.
i digress.
but now, the real reason i am writing this post:
exhibit b: gossip girl
i don’t think this really even counts as a book to tv adaptation. because i’m pretty sure all they did was read the first book while they where drunk at a a christmas party and then locked it away in a company desk. let’s be for real here for anyone who has read the book(s):
WHY?!?! at least bring back cupcake, that devious little monkey. i honestly don’t even care about everything else, just give me cupcake. and don’t even get me started on rufus. or aaron rose, he’s supposed to have dreads and smoke herbal cigs, instead he’s a douchey swinger.
what did i do to deserve this?

and i am going nutz (that’s what the kids say these days). i have a practically full tivo and i don’t want to watch any of it. this is nothing new though, since i already finished
the bachelor
true/real beauty (the actual title escapes me)
gossip girl (don’t judge)
momma’s boys (again, don’t judge.)
i even took up knitting! i did all of this in a 6-hour time frame!
if the spring semester doesn’t start soon, i’m going to start drinking coffee and re-locate to starbucks. i’m sure i have a screenplay somewhere in my head. if not, i’ll probably just order a hot chocolate and write on imdb message boards and comment on gawker posts like i always do.

Normallly, I laught at dating website commercials. But lately, eHarmony has been getting just a tad out of hand.
EXHIBIT A: (The only exhibit)
Really? They expect me to believe that Joshua’s fine ass had a page on eHarmony!?
They must be nuts. Honestly, if he was in fact on eHarmony and homegirl hasn’t had her throat slit yet, we need to put her in a safehouse. If someone that goodlooking had to resort to internet dating, then there is no hope left in humanity.
If he can’t get a date without the magic of technology, he either:
A. Is a serial killer, Patrick Bateman style (Look it up, kids)
B. Lives on his family’s beet farm, Dwight Schrute status (Again, look it up kids)
C. Is like that guy in that Julia Roberts movie (whose name escapes me) who beats a woman’s ass if she doesn’t straighten the towels in the bathroom.
So I’m just going to keep my theory that they hire actors (which is really everyone’s first theory right? Say yes).
I’ll keep you updated on further advances in my internet dating research advances.
By that, I mean I’m going to head over to the Missed Connections page at craigslist for my normal Sunday evening entertainment.

This isn’t really an advantage to living in Southern California as much as it is being a tourist, but I thought I’d post it anyway:
So, this one time I was at the Waterworld show (Don’t even get me started on why E.T. and Back To The Future were taken away from us but this show is still around…along with Backdraft) but anyway, apparently, Universal Studios shows are the place to go for actors in between jobs. For example, this guy
: from Twilight which I don’t care about at all, and The O.C. which I totally cared about (and still has a special place in my heart) is/was totally in the Waterworld show! Along with some guy from CSI: New York, JAG, and Eva Longoria! Okay, I made that last one up, but she probably makes guest appearances from time to time. I don’t know why I’m so enthused with this, because no one i tell cares, but you should! Why? Because imagine all the other celebs floating around in the Van Helsing Haunted House or in the Homer Simpson costume. What if Neil Patrick Harris was apart of the tram ride before How I Met Your Mother was casting? And what if Joaquin Phoenix takes over this Twilight guy’s role in Waterworld? Important stuff people, important stuff.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go purchase season passes to Legoland, Disneyland, and Universal Studios.
P.S.
That Guy‘s name is Cam Gigandet and apparently, he totally has a ponytail in Twilight which is yet another reason I won’t be seeing it. (Look out for that post later).
P.P.S.
Am i the only one that thinks that scarf is completely unnecessary? Who the duece is running these GAP ads now days? Lindsay Lohan?! I’m not gonna hate though, he still looks DAMN GOOD. i should probably go rent The O.C. and the In The Land of Women. Oh dang! I just made a six degrees reference there:
Cam Gigandet is in Twilight with Kristen Stewart who was in In the Land of Women with Adam Brody, who was in The O.C. I could probably go all the way to Kevin Bacon but I’ve already crossed the line with these so…

Today, I’m feeling extra fierce. As in Sasha Fierce. Yes, I know I shouldn’t encourage Beyonce‘s nosense. But, you have to admit: even though she is the farthest thing from fierce, she inspires some pretty fierce stuff. Exhibit A:
I mean, wow. Those moves. I don’t know how long that song has been out, but this guy means one thing: business dedication.
But now, my personal fave:
Yes. You just watch that. I literally want to be that little boy when I grow up. Not really, but I want to watch a few episodes of Project Runway, What Not To Wear, and Beverly Hills, 90210 (The original one, where real bitch fights actually occur) just to get his insight on life. This kid needs his own after school dance special, or at least to be on Yo Gabba Gabba. He has some real serious moves going on. HE KICKED A CHAIR, DAMMNIT! He even did the splits in that amazing finish! Perfect 10.
And for my dance-off results:
The first guy has some real serious business going on. And I’m not sure (Because I refuse to watch a Beyonce music video) but I’m pretty sure he juist copied her dance moves; so I’ll have to dock some originality points.
However, the kid in the second video isn’t nearly as polished, mostly because he’s a kid. But he has some real Footloose potential, so I’ll make note to email Zac Efron‘s agent later.
But now the main reason: I get flashbacks of Christian Bale in The Machinist watching the first video, and that just ain’t cool.
EAT A DAMN SANDWICH GIRLFRIEND!

for example, baja blast would be discontinued like sprite remix (r.ip. dear friend, we had many good sessions). man, that mess is delicious. i’ve been secretly praying for a while that they would bottle what i like to call "heaven on tap" would be bottled. but if they did bottle it, i’d have absolutely no reason
to go to taco bell. really, you don’t know how many times i’ve wanted cheese fries from carl’s jr. but said taco bell just for the baja blast.
i would also be pretty upset if sawyer was killed/magically disappeared from LOST. now, 
i’m not sure if i would literally kill myself, or just wait around until LOST finished it’s run, but i’d be on very thin ice. for example, if sawyer was killed, then i went to taco bell and all the baja blast was gone, i’d probably take a family hostage inside of taco bell; john q style. i would also request that they send josh holloway and matthew fox to coax me out. i’m a middle child, i find neediness necessary.
d and lastly my boo, anderson cooper, would have to be taken off air. why? …what do you mean why? look at him. he’s the coop, the silver fox! even though i’m pretty sure his wardrobe only consists of those tight black tees [that i happen to lvoe] and suits, i’d take him anyway. on the inside, i slightly wish he would run for president;hell, i’d vote for his fine ass.*
*and so would you is you know what’s best.

,
dang, i really wish her name was "ellen pange" just to add dramatic effect and rhyme.
anyway, beside the point, i watch An American Crime today on SHOWTIME, and 
i thought it was really good. i remember hearing about it through my Entertainment Weekly back (in the day) when Sundance was going on, but i never saw it. luckily, SHOWTIME is the place to be to see random movies that never made it to theater! also lucky for me, Entertainment Weekly put it in one of those "what to watch" kind of sections. [yes, i do and watch everything my Entertainment Weekly tells me to, thank you].
it’s a true story that happened in Indiana that stars ellen page and catherine keener, who both do a great job at portraying their roles, it is a bit violet, but i hear that The Girl Next Door, which is about the same thing, is more violent.
all in all, i thought it was a good movie, most people argue that the ending was terrible, but they can shove it and go whine about something that needs to be whined about, like Speed Racer.

he can do know wrong. he can even rock a porn ‘stache. actually, that’s not o
kay. but you can do whatever you want when you have a body like that and break world records without breaking a sweat. really though, i like how he said he was in “cruise control” during the prelims. for me, “cruise control” is going into any gas station and locating the strawberry wafers and cactus cooler.i’ve got to go. i’m going to buy those paris hilton and nicole richie books on amazon so i can shed some pounds fast. them i’m gonna buy the jose canseco book so i can ‘roid- i mean bulk up
