Megan's Movies + Books Year 2009

( the movies )( the books )

( etcetera )

I'm the only person alive who thinks that you can make GIFs of Soldier's Girl. But guess what I did?

( PROOF IS HERE - AND IT'S HOT )

(Just FYI, the GIFs are of Lee Pace in drag dancing and lip syncing. Sad movie, very tragic, but my God he's delicious even as a woman.)

Some of you can get this, I know. Don't be my friend who said this was actually Cher - it made me very sad.

Amy Adams and Lee Pace (OMG) singing in Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day, which is an AWESOME movie. See it now if you haven't!

Okay, Gerry Butler is hosting SNL on October 17th. I WANT TO GO. But that means the standby line. I plan on getting there at 6 PM on the 16th and waiting until 7 AM on the 17th, coming back to my pad in NJ, and then going back the evening of the 17th. BUT I NEED SOMEONE TO GO WITH ME OMG.

I am hoping my roommate will go, but are there any Gerry fanatics in the Tri-State area (OR ANYWHERE) that want to have the chance to get tickets with me? As long as I think you're cool, you can crash at my pad if you must. I live 30 minutes from Penn Station (South Orange, NJ), which is about 15 blocks south of 30 Rock (walking distance, lol - I've done it). But I want to see Gerry, or at least try to see Gerry! I wubbles him. Maybe Jason Statham will be there OMG! Probably not, lol.

Anyone want to help a desperate girl like me? If you live in the NE or DC areas there is MEGABUS so check it out - cheap bus tickets!

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

It's been a long time since I've blogged, so that probably means I need to update. I moved up the east coast to Newark, New Jersey, I start grad school on Monday, I start working at Macy's at The Mall at Short Hills on Wednesday, and I start to go completely insane something after that. I need to find some time to go home before Christmas, too. Oh, and I've been invited to San Francisco next April. My roomie Lexa is from Pasadena and she's going back west for Model UN, so she said if I pay for my plane ticket I can tag along. It isn't LA and the Price is Right isn't filmed there, but it's California! I'll go anywhere where I haven't been. Or Japan. I'll go there again.

Well, the title of this blog is not accurate. I could make it pretentious like certain actors who write op-ed pieces bashing liberals (one reader will know who he is, lol, but I still love him), but you guys know me. I'm a smart chick who uses up all pretentiousness writing stuff for school on such interesting topics as Post-Falklands War Anglo-Argentinean Diplomacy or Performative Statements in Existentialist Philosophy (I GOT AN A ON THAT AND I DON'T KNOW WHY). So you'll continue to receive intermittent blogs here about such rousing topics as the Guy in the Orange Jumpsuit, my love for the Guy in the Orange Jumpsuit, and Attempts at Pretentiousness and why they always fail.

Frank from Donnie Darko. Or else just a generic evil bunny rabbit.

That's probably indicative of my morbid sense of humor, eh?

Besides the fact my dad calls me every five minutes (well, literally every 15) to make sure I am not napping, he called me at the most inopportune time.

I was just about to dream of Zachary Quinto naked in a vat of nacho cheese when he calls and wakes me up gosh darn it.

The reason he keeps waking me up is because I have to go pick up my tickets to go to President Obama's town hall meeting in Raleigh tomorrow.  Yes, I was randomly selected to go, me!  I get to see the President on Wednesday!  If I can get up, drive 40 miles to Raleigh to pick them up, and then haul my ass back.  Maybe a trip to the book store will be in order as a present to myself.

But I'm still upset about my dream.  Chris Pine was there, too, and they were arguing like a married couple, but ZQ was about to get into the vat of cheese.  FML.  I will update about my NYC adventure soon, when I get over my loss.

If you join, make sure to put squirrelsohno as the person who referred you! I want more credits!!!

Thanks!!!!

I dunno, this might be a future recurring theme, Megan's Dream Time! It is a retelling of the previous night's dream, or dreams, and trust me, I remember dreams from when I was five and they're pretty freaky. Lots of science fiction themes as well as appearances from celebs and even opening and closing credits once (with all people in the dreams correctly listed). I also had a dream that I just sat there in the dark for about an hour.  I don't know, I thought this dream might be interesting to some of you GQMFs since it involves two (maybe three - I can't remember if Chris Pine was in it or not), but let's get to the dream sequencing, eh? This should be interesting, if just a tad short.

( California Dreaming.... )

Could you guys spam me with all the ZQ gifs you have? I am trying to use them for an RP (yeah, that's geeky, right?) where I use ZQ to portray a wimp, but anyway, any gifs will be much obliged, and this can turn into GIF SPAM OMG!

There are actually TWO people with my name. Hah!

OMG, it has been decided.

If Zachary Quinto hosts SNL, zombiebunny  and I will be going.  We will get tix, make plans, get a hotel if we have to (even though I'll be living 20 minutes west of Manhattan), anything to make sure we are in the audience for what will indeed be epicness.  Seriously.  It will be epic.

So be on the look out for the SNL schedule for me, because I will be making plans the moment it is confirmed he is hosting.

I'm not quite sure why I got the sudden desire to compose a blog entry. Maybe it is my extreme hunger because my father just HAD to go pick up his girlfriend's car to bring it back home to fix it or something while she is in Florida. I just had a small bowl of chicken and dumplings (leftovers) for lunch and that was before noon. I also relented and allowed myself the pleasure of a three hour nap this afternoon because my grandmother's bed feels like a rock, but she did make me dinner last night and it was scrumptious so I'll forgive her this one time.

I have decided that since all it seems I will be doing this summer is sitting here on my fat behind getting fatter, I have a few tasks to accomplish. For one, I need to study my Japanese because I believe one of the key factors that got me into graduate school was the fact I have a minor in Japanese. The fact that I can barely speak the language probably will not go over well with them, so I have my textbooks and my dictionaries and I plan on studying. And I saw a kanji dictionary at the used book store this morning so I might have to go back and get that, as well. Secondly, I want to bolster my vocabulary just because I can. I mean, I'm going to be in graduate school; I'll need a few more good words to throw around willy nilly. I'm subscribed to both the English and Japanese Word of the Day email's, so I'm going to try!

Yesterday, besides getting a link out of my new watch removed, I saw Star Trek again with my mother, and yes, I still have a thing for Zach Quinto. If anything, it's bigger now. I watched interviews with him last night for hours (I was at my grandparents' house and they were watching shows I hate) so yes, I can testify that he's amazing. And I picked up a book he thought was interesting circa two years ago, so I'll give that a read when I finish The Time Traveler's Wife (whoever suggested that to me is genius - thanks a lot!).

I'm going to try and blog more because maybe this will help stimulate my creative process so I can add a thirdly to that list. I want to finish my screenplay by the end of this summer. I'm 25 pages in and aiming for about 120 or 130, and plan on cutting that down to 110 or even 100. It's posted somewhere in the past on my journal, if you want to sneak a peek and see if you have any advice. That would be much obliged.

So my dad is ordering pizza, but until then, something knocked over my compost heap box so I get to go shovel a year's worth of compost back into it. I need an actual box for it, not something made out of cinder blocks. Oh, well. Toodles!

PS. Unlike ZQ's blogs, I use proper English grammar, capitalization, and punctuation in my blogging. *pats self on back* Well, I must admit as a former English major (before Political Science), I am obsessive compulsive about correctness. True dat.

PS2. I'll be in NY/NJ visiting my mom's friend and then finding an apartment in South Orange from July 17th to July 24th. I will be in NYC July 23rd only though. I'm sad.

1.) Made dinner for my dad Friday night b/c his GF went to Florida.
2.) Caught up on 30 Rock.  Next to catch up on - Kings.
3.) Downloaded Heroes Season 1 and So NoTORIous.  Then proceeded to force father to watch So NoTORIous.  His first question was asking whether Zach Quinto was gay.  I lulled.
4.) Got Dominoes Bread Bowl pastas.  Can you say yum?
5.) Went to Marshalls.  Bought jacket.  Was originally $260.  I paid $15.  Also bought $100 dress pants for $9.
6.) Got Chinese.
7.) Now lying here with cat.

I will be going up to New York (visiting mom's friend) and New Jersey (apartment hunting) from July 10th to 17th.  Or thereabouts anyway.  Also going to Cincinatti to visit Meghan and Nicole (KGU meetup!) sometime this summer.  I want to go to LA to go be on the Price is Right and kidnap ZQ (among others), and I have enough miles for a ticket, but maybe next summer since I'm going to NYC and Ohio.  rabbity_one  will have to go with me.  She will agree with my mission.

Starting school August 31st.  Starting professional stalking career somewhere around August 15th-20th I suspect.  And please, God, let Zach host SNL.  If so, I will die.  And then kidnap him.
