1. Sylar from Heroes. (also a super hottie)
2. Zac Efron in 17 Again. (also a super hottie)
basically when i think of Silas, i think of very good things. i propose that those three guys team up and do a movie together. they should do a musical version about slicing heads open and dealing pot. that way it would incorporate all of their strengths as characters.
the reason i think of Zac is because the kid who plays Silas was in 17 Again. he was the punk kid who Zac totally showed up in the 'basketball tricks in the cafeteria' scene. LOVED that part. i'll see if someone put it on youtube yet. hold on.
OH YES. it's here. ok, let me set up the clip and pretend i'm on a late night talk show. In this clip, we're going to see Zac showing up the high school bully in the cafeteria. Now, you should know that Zac is really a 37 year old guy stuck in a 17 year old's body. The boy he's talking to in the clip is actually his son, and the girl they mention, is his daughter.
DREAMBOAT. oh zac. he's such a great performer. got some great moves. i seriously think this scene is awesome. i'm totes impressed.
in other celeb news:
1. these pictures of Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley's new baby girl made me tear up. they are really beautiful.
2. A piano and a ping pong table.
wow. those pictures really made me cry. is it me, or am i just crying all the time lately? i also teared up at the end of Weeds. when she was in the car writing the birthday card for Silas. yeah.
i feel like David Letterman. you know how he always says that after become a father, everything just makes him cry? that's what i feel like. like, living in this house with these girls and their babies/unborn babies. for serious. is that totally lame? no, i don't think so.
like, last weekend when the girl came running down the stairs yelling my name. and i thought something was wrong. and i had a heart attack pretty much. and then was so relieved that she only wanted her mp3 player, that i got all teary. like, if something had happened, i don't know what i would do. i mean, i know what i would do, but i don't know what i would do. ya know?
friday night we've got two baby girls coming. i'm really excited to meet them. there is going to be 5 people in the house tomorrow night!! busybusybusy.
i think i'm probably definitely going to cry in the delivery room when the new baby is born. yeah. i just realized this the other day. i was thinking about it and then i thought, "yeah, i'm probs gonna cry." i mean, a new baby! being born! like, what else is there? it's probably going to be totally terrifying and totally amazing. how often do you get that combination?
anyways. let me tell you about my awesome day!
1. i went to the post office to get my Netflix. they were supposed to arrive yesterday. i opened my mailbox and there was NO yellow slip telling me i had a package. i was very confused about this. i stood there making sure it wasn't hiding anywhere. and then started to get sad. i was counting on those Netflix being there YESTERDAY.
so, i decided that i would go to the window anyways.
JULIE: Hi, um, I didn't get a yellow slip in my box, but I think I'm supposed to have some Netflix here. Would you mind checking, please?
USPS WORKER: Sure! What's your box number?
JULIE: (insert box number here)
USPS WORKER: Ok, I'll check. (is gone for a little while. comes back, holding two Netlix.) It's always worth checking!!
JULIE: Awesome! Thank you so much!!
again, the postal workers in the Lebanon, NH post office are the greatest people. they are so nice and friendly.
oh, i was so happy. i had Weeds and Veronica Mars!!!
2. then i went to Wal-Mart. it was strange because the parking lot had turned into a giant RV campground. there were probably 15 giant RVs parked in the parking lot. all together in a little huddle. and some people had chairs set up outside and everything. it was so, so strange.
i learned earlier this year that people are allowed to park their RVs for free in Wal-Mart parking lots. under the assumption they will go inside and buy Wal-Mart stuff. i didn't know that before. but, i had also never seen so many RVs parked together at Wal-Mart. it made me a little sad.
i went inside looking for headphones. i got some! and so far, i'm not disappointed. EXCEPT, the one on the left kind of makes my earring hurt. but, it's not the headphone's fault. it's my own fault for getting my stupid ear pierced. anyways. they work pretty well.
and i was in the audio accessory aisle looking at cables and things i don't understand. and then i thought, "hm, i wonder if there is such a thing as an extender cable for my speakers." like, to make the cable longer. but, still with a normal headphone jack on the end.
and i focused for a minute and read all the descriptions on the cables until i found one! they do exist!!! you plug the speaker cable into this other cable, which has a normal headphone jack on the other end.
because, i think the cord on these speakers is a little shorter than my other ones. and i am constantly forgetting that they are plugged into my laptop, and i move my laptop and the speakers fall of the shelf. haha. it's kind of funny when you think about it. but, not really. because, i don't want them to break. so, now i have a longer cord!
i had a problem, and i fixed it! so great.
so, i bought the cable. and i bought the headphones. and i bought Ruby more wet food.
3. then i went to the grocery store. i needed lettuce and tomato. and coffee. and Ruby needed more dry food, which you can only get at the grocery store. and lucky for her, they were on sale, 2 bags for $8. normally they are $5.49 a bag. i was excited about this. and i got her 2 bags. she was excited to see them when i got home. she gets the all natural dry food in the pretty green bag. she loves it.
in the check out line the cashiers and the baggers were talking about Extreme Home Makeover coming to Lebanon. one of the cashiers had signed up to volunteer to help out. is this possible? they ask for normal people to help build houses? okay, it's kind of exciting.
4. then i drove home. i've been going home the non-highway way every time i go into West Lebanon. there's the way home on I-89, or there's the way home on the little windy road with the one-lane bridge. it's pretty. but, scary at nighttime.
but the best part: there is a skate park. with like, skateboard ramps and everything. i don't know what they're actually called. like, those ramps? do you know what i'm talking about? they are "U" shaped. and they skate in the middle.
oh man, do i looooove watching these kids do skate tricks. i get so excited every time they are there. it's like, the boys who wear Vans and skinny jeans. and probably straighten their hair. loves them! and i love watching them skateboard. it's like, Lords of Dogtown mixed with Patrick Wilson watching the skateboarders in Little Children.
and it's great because the speed limit on that road is 30mph, so you can go slow and watch them. not in a creepy way. but in a semi-jealous way.
5. got home and discovered some AWESOME new music. AND THIS IS THE BEST PART OF THE DAY. nay, THE BEST PART OF MY YEAR. i'm trying to think of something more cool that has happened to me this year. the time where i talked to Josh Young. the time where i went to Ireland. THIS TIME is being added to those times.
ok. let me try and explain without freaking out.
so, i get home, and check email. check facebook. check twitter. and i see on Twitter that Darren Robinson (from Phantom Planet, duh) has updated a few times.
from his tweets, i find out that he's in this new band, (awesome and sad at the same time), and they have a myspace page.
THE CALIFORIAN
ok, if you've never clicked on a link i have posted, if you've never seen a movie i've recommended, if you've never listened to a song or watched a video that i think awesome - CLICK ON THAT LINK.
this band is great. they are so great that for like, the past 6 hours i have been listening to their 4 songs on repeat. no kidding. I LOVE IT. the song 'Spin Round' is the most addicting.
they are so different from Phantom Planet it's crazy. other than the fact that they ROCK. i'm serious. i was instantly addicted to their songs. GO DARREN. that guy can make some good music.
anyways. in addition to tweeting about his new band... (OH! what he said was they were probably going to play a show in LA on 28 October, opening for LENKA. soooo.....i'm in. who else wants to go? that sounds like the cutest show ever. Darren + Lenka = adorbs.)... he tweeted about these Phantom Planet memoirs that he's writing.
YES, it's true.
that's what he said. very early days of Phantom Planet. sounds super great and super sexy.
and i was just soo excited about everything. the new music, the phantom planet memoirs, that i could barely contain it. i was seriously hyped.
and i thought, I HAVE TO SEND DARREN A TWEET. i have to do it. i can't NOT do it. i am so excited right now. and i looked to Ruby Tuesday to approval, and even though she was sleeping, i could tell she wanted me to do it.
so. I DID. i sent Darren a tweet. yep. ME. DARREN. tweeting. out in the open. i sent it. and then i immediately had to get away from the computer. because, i would have been checking my twitter ever 3 seconds.
so, i took a bath. tested out the new 'phones. they work great. WHATEVER BACK TO DARREN.
i got out of the bath and super calmly went to my computer. checked my email. oh look! a new email. that's great. hm, a spam email. loves it. oh, i think i'll just check my twitter very nonchalantly like i do everyday. not expecting to see a tweet from a celeb or anything. nope, whatever. just a normal day....
EXCEPT IT'S NOT A NORMAL DAY!!!!! it's the day ME AND DARREN HAD A CONVERSATION ON TWITTER.
BEHOLD!
be still my heart.oh, so totally loves it. is that not the coolest thing you've experienced all day? you are allowed to be really jealous. IT'S DARREN. the guitarist for Phantom Planet!!! the guy i love! remember how much i used to talk about Darren?!!? sooooo much! this means that he was thinking about me for a probable total of like, 10 seconds. THAT'S ENOUGH FOR ME. it might seem like nothing compared to the years and years i have been thinking about him. but, he's a celeb, so him thinking about me, weighs more than a common-folk like me thinking about him.
guys, this is the greatest. i'm so thrilled about this i can't even explain it. although, i will probably try and explain it nonstop for the next week. it's so cool!
PLEASE check out that music. don't do it for me, do it for Darren. and also watch this video of Darren cooking a turkey to hike in. yeah, you read that right.
wow. what a day. what a great day. great to the max.
that's all that happened. i can't top anything after the Darren story. Ruby Tuesday is sleeping on my arms right now and it's kind of hard to type. but, she's so tired. she woke up from a snooze in the front room, and she came in for a snooze on my lap. she's just waiting for her second supper.
my cell phone wasn't working today. so, if you tried to call or text, i probably didn't get it. we'll see about tomorrow.
i have to start tweeting to Rooney. and Coconut Records. well, i don't think it's actually Jason who does the Coconut Records twitter. but, all the Rooney guys do theirs. Robert went golfing today. fyi.
now is the time where i tell you my schedule for the next day:
FRIDAY:
6:45 - 8am: work
8am - ??: sleep
?? - 6pm: (blank)
6pm - 10pm: work
wow! what a great day. i'm actually excited about work because i will be working with Courtney. and we've got the two baby girls coming.
saturday i have to get up early to drive someplace in vermont. i need more details about that. and then also saturday sometime, i'm hoping to meet up with my friend Meg's husband Matt! he's going to be in the area this weekend doing Army related things. and i haven't seen him in a super long time!
alright. good day. i'm in a great mood. who can sleep after having a twitter conversation with Darren? not me.
it's 4am. early friday morning. i wonder if i tried really hard if i could get on a "normal" sleep schedule. like, 11pm to 9am. i wonder if i could do that. i'm not going to try. i'm just wondering. i don't think i could do that. why would i want to? then i would miss the whole night.
alright. still loving this nailpolish. have a great night! i'll talk to you later on friday. probably not too early.
i realize i said, 'have a great night' above. it's nighttime now, but you may in fact be reading this in the morning. if that is the case, have a great day!! i realize i have to accomodate for all sleep schedules and time zones. and i am happy to do so.
i'm hott right now. i wish my air conditioner would cycle on.
alright! again! this is me, ending the blog. please enjoy that music. i still am. and i'm excited to wake up tomorrow and enjoy it some more.
love to you. and love to everyone else. have a great friday.
everything that you want looks just like everything you need.
<3
