Two-fer Tuesday

I'm just sitting around right now. Practically done with my final project for my Animation class. YAY!
But I took some time out to watch a little TV.

I'm flipping between 3lbs and the American Music Awards.

Speaking of...go to iTunes and download the 3lbs Pilot Episode...it's beautiful. Really well done show that should be on Showtime or HBO or even FX, not CBS. Though it does fit CBS' newer image as more of a network for science junkies, CSI anyone? But watch it, it's awesome.

So now I'm watching what I assume is the second episode. I came in late, so I don't know exactly what's happening but they just did a test on this woman who's pregnant. They're trying to get her right ride brean to speak. And they asked her right brain what made her angry, and she typed "baby". They asked why? and she typed "Need Radiation". WHA?!
*commercial break*

Excuse me while I ogle over John Mayer...and yes I know the stories. He's probably an ass, I don't intend on meeting him. But I'll watch and listen for now. ;)

Ok...back to 3lbs. Stanley Tucci is an arogant bastard in this show. It's amazing.

Cool things about this show...
1. Stanley Tucci
2. It's focused less on the medicine and more on the spiritual representation of what happens in our brains. Which is different.
3. The female Neurologist's british accent...it's so much more refined than Midge's accent. (my alter-ego)
4. That guy that was in every other B movie, but I couldn't tell you which ones.

now...for some Good Eats...Soups for Kids
YAY Alton Brown.
Have I mentioned how much I love this guy? I liken him to Bill Nye, but Alton's for food, and more for adults.
Watch Good Eats.

So in summary...
1. Watch and download 3lbs.
2. Watch Good Eats
3. I like to watch John Mayer

the end.

I need to stop...

My name is Maggie and I'm a facebook stalker.

and I digress

So I've stumbled across a livejournal of a friend. It was one of those things that I just found in a profile, or as a link somewhere. But the fact is, I found it.

And I was inspired. He poured his heart and soul into those words. As much as they weren't all that specific, they were very heartfelt and just splashed out on the page. His writing relied more on the vocabulary and manipulating the english language to achieve a higher sense of understand that I could only dream of achieving.

I have a completely different style. I am too conversational. I lack the vocabulary to achieve literary heights, and so I rely on analogies that sometimes are irrelevant or comical. So kudos to my friend. You are not alone.

and on the level of TV...

I'm watching VH1..."I Married Sebastian Bach". Interesting. Sebastian and his wife are interesting people. Not quite as endearing as the Osbornes or the Hogans, or even the guy from Twisted Sister's family (Dee Snider). By the way...I want to see the reality show for the Sniders, they are hilariously dark and endearing at the same time. (I have no vocabulary)

Sebastian and his wife are a little rough around the edges, but that might be the editing. They go from talking about how much they're in love to him yelling at her. It just made him look bitchy and her like a slab of concrete to his steam roller. C'mon girl, get a little backbone. Apparently his new band is living in their Jersey home all together? Can I just say, weird?

Oh, here comes a White Stripes montage about sexual habits. ohh...Queens of the Stone Age. Why is it that these shows all have the same soundtrack? Please, MTV, VH1 get a new CD. Just one. I'm sure lots of people would give you one that's different.

Ok...enough about the sex and shit. We get it, you're in love. You don't have to cry about it now. Aww...slow motion was included. Annnd they're done. Thank goodness. Now for sleep.

P.s. the tone of this entry completely changed from beginning to end. special is all I can say.

I'm in love

So thanks to VIC I've found another musician I can't get enough of and just can't get out of my head.

Sorry Panic! I've found your replacement, for the time being.

I have yet to really listen to the lyrics b/c I'm too busy dancing to "Everybody But You". Totally worth a look on iTunes or mySpace.

Marc Broussard with more of a beat and more music! I love it.

The end.

Jared Leto and the Blog

I know, I know...it's been forever.

But I think I'll just leave this blog to tid-bits that i find online that I love. Like this gem of a link.

HIGH-Larious...

I need to get a job like this one.



"Leto is keeping the “From Yesterday” video details under wraps, but he said the concept is one he’s been tossing around for quite some time. “It’ll be very challenging but will fit the song like a glove,” he said. “You can count on something spectacular, exciting, fun and slightly perverted.”

TRANSLATION: I still haven’t found a director who has been able to withstand my pretentious douchebaggery long enough to film a single frame of my next video, but when I do, you can count on something that is unspeakably retarded."

I just have to post this...

This lady makes my week. The end.

Hey Maggiegirl!!!!!!!!
Sounds like you're smokin' little lady. Not surprised to say the least.
You should get your arse back to Los Angeles before the world blows up
becuause of the abundance of "Muslim Testosterone" in the
air....buggers that they are.

So glad to hear you're doing well.

She's one of my favorite Lesbians.

Obsession with Models...or is it just Fashion?

So I've recently discovered a pattern.

The following shows I watch whenever they are on...
-America's Next Top Model (rerun marathons on VH1...b/c Ithaca doesn't get UPN...but we'll get the CW in the fall!)
-Project Runway
-Janice Dickenson Modeling Agency
-Project Jay

I will watch anything having to do with models and fashion.
One of the best movies on that independant TV station that doesn't have a network and can't afford the really awesome movies is Mannequin. Ever seen it? Brilliance. Kim Cattrall waaay before Sex and the City and that dude from all the 80s movies. Well, it's awesome. Rent it, netflicks it.

Maybe I was a model in a former life. I'd love to be one, that would be fun...but I'm waaaay too short for it (not to mention not a size 0). But I can always live vicariously through these shows. Which reminds me...when I save up enough I'll get Project Runway on DVD.

And I kind of consider myself something of a fashion designer with my knitting. Something. Not all-thing. I still follow a pattern but the colors are my own. And since I haven't perfected the gauge yet...so's the sizing. Oh man. My last sweater was bad. I need to perfect the gauge thing.
