i am your ship, i am your throne

hello friends. i hope everyone had a beautiful, lovely day.

i've had a strange day. well, no. not that the day has been strange, but i've been in a strange space all day. not like, an actual space. like, i don't know how i ended up here in this weird place. but like, mood. frame of mind. THAT kind of space.

i've been really tired.

the past week or so Ruby Tuesday has woken me up at 8:20am because she is hungry. but, it's way too early for her breakfast. i think she just wants attention. so, i usually get up, get a drink of water and walk with her out to the kitchen.

then, she wakes me up again for real around noontime. she walks all over me. she licks my hands. this morning she was reaching out her paws and tapping my face. i'm like, 'please! 15 more minutes! 10 more minutes!' but no. she is relentless. and hungry. and so i get up and feed her.

ANYWAYS. i think that is why i have been tired.


the other night i watched this movie on instant Netflix called 'Uncertainty.' it starred Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Leavitt? i don't know. anyways, it was about couple in NYC and they were trying to decide what to do for the 4th of July. and so they flipped a coin. depending on which side the coin landed on, they would either spend the day together, or go visit the girl's parents.

and then they flipped the coin and the movie split into two movies, GREEN and YELLOW.

GREEN: contained lots of green things, so you knew it was the 'green part.' they go to her parents house. lots of family drama. they find a stray dog and take it in.

YELLOW: contained lots of yellow things so you knew it was the 'yellow part.' they spend the day in the city. are in a taxi and find a cell phone. they call some numbers on the phone to try and figure out who it belongs to, and then it turns into this super thriller. people are getting shot on the streets and they have to run from all these mafia people. they can't turn the cell phone on because the people are tracking them. they are on the run. it gets crazy.

i did not like this movie. i hated this couple. they were so stupid. in both situations. ok, i shouldn't say 'stupid' because that's mean. but, they did things in both situations that i don't think normal people would do. at least - I wouldn't do anything these people did.

FIRST OF ALL: when they were calling numbers on the cell phone, they left their real cell phone numbers for the people to call back. now, this is not smart to begin with, but it turned even worse when all these bad guys suddenly had their phone numbers.

SECOND OF ALL: they saw the stray dog and were immediately like, "we have to take it in!" this dog looked like a wolf. i think it was a wolf. i couldn't believe they took in this dog. brought it to their family's house, let it play with the little children. did they know if it was rabid? or had fleas? or where it had been!?? no! i kept waiting for the dog to turn on somebody. but it never did. it ended up being a good dog, i guess.

i don't know. the acting was bad too, i guess. they were trying to be all "indie." like, taking long pauses between their words and being all dramatic. PLEASE. just stop.

and this girl. the actress in the movie. she was so bony and gross looking. you could see her bones everywhere. like, her ribcage through her back. ugh. she was pretty hott, but also disgusting.

OH! i decided her face was a mix of Evangeline Lily and Michelle Monaghan. yeah i was proud of that.

ALSO, i decided that Ryan's brother Trey (on The O.C.) looks like a mix of Ashton Kutcher and Alex Greenwald. YEP! rocked that one.

and did anyone listen to all those songs i posted the other day? about how Little Lion Man is a mix of Two Step and Thunder and Lightening?!?!?

i am just killing at these mash-ups.

speaking of The O.C. - i finished SEASON 2!!!!! which was the big season finale featuring the Imogen Heap song. that they made fun of on SNL with the Digital Short "Dear Sister."

oh, i was super looking forward to it. i even made popcorn for the occasion. WORTH IT. SOOOO WORTH IT. oh man. drama!

but actually - i thought it was the best acting i've seen so far from Mischa Barton. normally, she's pretty terrible. but i thought she was actually really good in this scene. very honest looking.

so, you should click on the SECOND LINK FIRST and watch the original. it's like, one minute long. and then CLICK ON THE FIRST LINK and watch the SNL parody.

anyways! now i'm waiting for season 3 to arrive. hopefully by monday! aahhh i can't wait!

SO. no plans for sunday. probably drink more of that coconut coffee i bought. had some again this morning. loves it.

my Crash Queen friend Christina said that i should drive out to see her in San Francisco for the Crash King's show on May 16th. i had to really talk myself out of it. immediately after reading the twitter she sent me i was like, "omg i could drive to SF and then she could drive back with me for the shows on the 22 and 23!" and then i was like, "JULIE. NO. YOU CANNOT DRIVE TO SAN FRANCISCO FOR ONE DAY."

ooo it would be soo fun though. at some point there needs to be a Crash Queen Mega Meet-Up. at a concert, of course.

i had the totes brillz idea that there needs to be a Crash Queens van that circles the country, picking up Crash Queens and bringing them to shows. a country-wide carpool. like, following the Crash Kings and picking up any Crash Queens along the way. i love it.

and then i thought - well, when Crash Kings get a tour bus when they become super famous, they could donate 'Ol Blue to the Crash Queens and that's the van we could use. AWESOME, RIGHT?! i know. AND - we could bedazzle it. yep. i love it.

i think it would be so awesome and so fun! i want to be the leader of this expedition. and they're going to get a tour bus like, any minute now. because they're performing on Jimmy Kimmel and then everyone will have seen them from the comforts of their homes. and non-Crash Kings fans will become Crash Kings fans. and the whole country will be turned into a Crash Kingdom. (loves it.)

ok. OH. i have been wanting to post this video ever since i saw it last week. or maybe it was just a few days ago. i can't remember. BUT. it's awesome. it may be the first video of Mountain Man i have ever posted. maybe not. i also can't remember.

MOUNTAIN MAN, by Crash Kings
. live in Las Vegas. now, what is unique about this video comes at the end. before the guys finish the song, they stop.... AND DO A SHOT OF TEQUILA.... and then finish the song.

YES. this video features Tony, doing a tequila shot. something that i have dreamed about (literally - i've had two different dreams about this) for a long time.

why i dream about doing tequila shots with Tony - i cannot explain. but when i had the first dream about him, it was pretty recently after having first seen them. and i was like, "why did i just dream about the guy from Crash Kings?"

although, in both dreams when me and Tony are doing tequila shots, he is wearing the red plaid shirt. and he is not wearing the red plaid shirt in this video. but, Chris, who is the drummer from JET is the one who comes out onstage during the song and brings them their shots. it's all a very strange thing. but, i suppose for me it's like a dream come true. :)

or, a half dream come true. because i'm not there doing a shot with Tony. ah well. maybe someday. you never know.

ANYWAYS. almost midnight. saturday night. not much going on. at all.

last night after i finished The OC i decided i had to mail it back right away so that i would get new movies on tuesday. and it was like, 2am. and i drove to the post office and mailed it! because i knew i wouldn't be able to get up and out before the post office closed before noon. smart, right?!

the whole 2am adventure took approx. 4 minutes and 2 seconds. i know this because as i was turning off of my street, Come Away started to play. and then it ended just as i was pulling back into my spot in the driveway. and i left the car running while i got out and ran to the mailbox.

HAD THERE BEEN A DRIVE-THRU OPTION - i wouldn't have had to leave my car at all.

anyways. ok. what else. i guess maybe that's it.

i think tonight i am going to watch a movie called Mammoth. with Michelle Williams and Gael Garcia Bernal. two hotties. i don't really get what it' about. but i've wanted to see it for a long time.

last night i was up way too late staying on Twitter. and then i finally pulled myself away from the computer version of twitter and got into my bed. and then i went on Twitter with my phone! and i couldn't stop checking twitter updates. online. in my bed. horrible, right? i know.

when i am president i will require everyone to have a twitter. i'm kidding. i just think that everyone should have one because it's awesome. if twitter was required, it could be like, a chill version of the government watching our every move. i mean, they're already doing it, right? i would say,

JULIE: Cancel all current government operations to spy on the American people. We will now enforce that everyone maintain a Twitter account.

and my new twitter name would be: CaptainJulie and i would follow the whole country. and anyone could follow me! omg. actually, that sounds like a lot of fun. it would be a super fun, laid back way of knowing what is going on in everyone's lives!

love it. ok. i'm not adding that to the official list of things to do when i am president. don't worry.

maybe i'll change my twitter name to CaptainJulie anyways.

ok. that's it for real now. Ruby just woke up and sleepily ran into the living room. stretched. rolled over on the floor. hopped on the couch. sat there for a minute. and then jumped on the green chair and curled up. now she's going back to sleep.

and that's the Ruby update.

ok goodnight! i'll talk to you on sunday sometime. i have NO PLANS so let me know if there is anything i should do. send me a task and i'll photodocument.

have a great day!
