3月27日 So bored...So I'm actually at school right now, and I'm so bored (and this keyboard is messed up). And we actually get "free time" in buisness. But I don't know what to do, which is kind of sad. I don't like going on the internet in public. Dunno why. It's not like I have anything to hide. But I just feel like people are watching me and what I'm doing or something (as if they have nothing better to do). So...yeah. The periods almost over, so ig2g. 2月24日 Long time, no ramblingWow, it's been a long time since I've added an entry
 . So here's my picks for this seaon of American Idol Yes, we all know that we love this show, even if we won't admit it. And now, the overly-drawn-out initial audition process (which is oh so cruel. But it's like a train wreck. You can't help but watch.) is finally over. And now we're down to the talented (in general) top 24.
There are some people that clearly are going to go far. It's just so obvious. And there's also some that it's clear that it's only a matter of time before they catch a train (or plane) back to their hometowns and dead-end jobs.
Here's my pick for who's going to be in the final group:
1. Taylor Hicks
Ha, this guy's awesome. He's got a bunch of things going for him: - He's very unique - He has a interesting look (although not what you might expect from an "idol") - He has a great voice, and an interesting sound - He is what we would call an underdog. He's not your standard "good looking, golden-voiced, seemingly-perfect" contestant. lots of people want to root for someone they can relate to.
But not everyone does. This is where we come to my #2 pick:
2. Ace Young
Yes, Ace would fall under the "good looking, golden-voiced, seemingly-perfect" contestant category. Yet he is also very appealing. And it's NOT just his looks. Unlike last season's rock god Constantine, beneath Ace's good looks and confidence, there's a real person with human emotions. Yes, that's right. Shhh...everyone be quiet, and sit patiently. Maybe if look close enough, you too will see a human being emerge from the mass of his perfect locks, and from within his golden smile. LOOK! THERE IT IS! What? Don't tell me you missed it! Okay, I'm being unfair. Ace really seems like a genuinely nice guy. You could see how nervous he was before his performance, and the relief when the judges gave him a good review. And he looked genuinely nervous on elimination night, as if he actually thought there could be a chance of him going home (even thought the rest of the world knew there wasn't)
3. Lisa Tucker
She's got an amazing voice. And believe it or not, that actually is one of the criteria for American Idol (shocking, I know). And at suck a young age (16) she shows maturity and class.
4. Chris Daughtry Great voice. Good personality. Sure to go far (but probably not win.)
5. Kevin Covais
It's just so crazy it might work. Another youngster, at 16, Kevin is the kind of guy you could find in the computer lab of any high school. Which is why he's so likeable and relatable. He has a good voice, but it's not the best by any means. But the fact that he's just so...ordinary (in an endearing kind of way) might be the thing that takes him far.
And get a load of this guy....
He's like a mix between Peter Brady and Fred Savage (gotta love those awesome old school TV shows. But seriously, The Wonder Years is a really good show. And the Brady Bunch is just fun to laugh at.)
Peter Brady (played by Christopher McKnight)
Fred Savage (in The Wonder Years)
So, yeah, that's my roundup for this season of AI. Enjoy. 2月8日 GET OVER IT PEOPLE! :PLol, I've been noticing that I've been getting a TON of hits on my space, andf everyone is looking for pictures of the same person. Sean Preston Federline. Yes, that's right. People come to my site in search of pictures of an infant (Sean Preston is Britney Spears's baby, for those of you that have been living under a rock).
And the picture of Gwenyth Paltrow and young Apple keep coming up, instead of young Sean (it's all because of that blog about celebrity children when I was talking about them, but never actually had a picture of Sean).
And the whole Britney-driving-a-car-with-her-infant-on-her-lap incident has probably just boosted interest.
I will try to find a picture for all you obsessive people, but right now American Idol/The Grammys are on.
EDIT: HERE IT IS! The unveiling! The moment you've all been waiting for:
 1月30日 Wow, my old blog...Just recently, I remembered my old blog on www.blogger.com which I started in the summer of '04. so I decided to resurrect it. I couldn't remember the URL, or anything, so I just typed some random things I remembered talking about into the serch thing. And somehow, it actually came up. And let me tell you, it's good for few laughs. It's honestly the most random thing ever. I bring up a few valid points, but keep jumping between topics. And my absolute favourite part of the whole thing is this (and I quote):
"One thing you should know, (or maybe you already do) is that I'm a HUGE fan of Canadian Idol! Last nights episode turned out quite well (in my opinnion) Shane is awsome! He and his voice remind me of Clay Aiken, and I'm a very big fan of Clay. But I also really like Kalan Porter, he's also an awsome singer. So I don't know who to vote for in the final 10 (isn't it so awful!)I'm leaning towards Kalan, but I think the first performance will really affect my vote. I also like Teresa a lot. She's a really good singer too. But my mom likes her the best, so she'll probably be voting for her. But yeah, I'll probably vote for Kalan!"
Hahahahaha....yes, I'll "probably" vote for Kalan. Lmao, ah....that really kills me. Waaaaay back in the top 32...so unsure of who to vote for. Such rough times. If I only I could've looked into the future and seen me and my unhealthy obsession with Kalan. (can you tell I'm way too amused by that?)
So then I thought that maybe I'd start writing in that blog again, so I went through a very painful process of rocovering my password AND username (which consisted of entering my email adress). But then I decided that my blog would probably stand better on it's own. Preserving a pathetic slice of my twelve (almost thirteen) year-old life.
So without further ado, here's the link!:
In other oh so exciting news, I'm DONE exams (for this term) ! I had math today, which wasn't as brutal as I expected.
So I sucessfully survived my term in highschool, somewhat unscathed. I was reading some of my earlier bogs on here about how freaked out I was about starting highschool, and my "enemy" (who I've barely talked to since the first day of school). But it's been pretty good. I dunno what the next term will bring, but I doubt any of it could be as hillarious as math class! But ya never know.
Ciao!
1月23日 Sugar, we're going down swinging
Vote NDP. They suck less than the other parties.
That's all I have to say.
Okay, so obviously it's not. Since when have I ever been able to sum up my thoughts in a sentence? So, I willl share these cartoons of Stephen Harper I found. And maybe I will actually give reason for my opinion. But that's only if I'm feeling somewhat motivated, which isn't likely.
Haha. I like that. And I actually understand it, unlike most of the cartoons I found
Lmao.
I'm not really a Liberal fan either, but they're way better than the Conservatives. I Stephan Harper's plan to give $100 every month to every family with a preschool child is the stupidest plan ever. It will come right out of our tax money, and a lot of the families probably won't even use their $100 for preschool. And what about the families that don't send their kids to preschool? It's stupid to give the money right to the people. How about giving it to the preschools? Maybe then they won't have to charge as much! And re-openning the vote on gay marriage is just stupid. It's already been decided on, so why re-open that can of worms? They just think that if they get in power, they might be able to change the bill on gay marriage. And even just the aspect of them getting into power and re-voting on the gay marriage bill is sending people into panic. Lots of gays are rushing into getting married before they may no longer be able to. And I think that Jack Layton would be a much better leader, and deserves the chance. I like that he the time to stop by Much Music to talk to youth voters. And while the Liberal and Conservative campaigns have just become a mud-slinging battle, Jack Layton, while pointing out the faults of the other parties, keeps a somewhat clean campaign. I would type more, but I really have to work on my english summative and whatnot Try to enjoy your last day of freedom before Stephen Harper is (most likely) elected, and our great country goes down the drain (even further down than Paul Martin's already put it). And remember, VOTE NDP!
1月21日 My Head is a Magnet for Various ObjectsI SHOULD be working on my english summative right now. But then I started thinking about something.
A lot of people seem to "accidentally" heat my in the head with a lot of different things.
I know that most people usually get hit in the head with a few things, and it seemed like just about everybody in our gym class got whacked by a basketball at least once. But it seems to happen to me A LOT.
What, you may ask, got me started on all of this? Well, maybe the fact that I nearly got decapitated by a water bottle cap in math yesterday. Okay, so I'm exagerating. A bit. But it was pretty scary. Some of the guys nearby were doing that thing where you twist the water bottle as much as you can (apperantly the Nestle bottles are the best) and then the cap goes shooting off. Except in this case, it missed whacking me in the side of the head by about half a centimeter, and whizzed past my face. So then I did that thing that I'm getting very good at (from experience). What I do, is look in the direction it came from right away. Not TOO threateningly/accousingly/bitchingly, but a little pit P.O.ed, but also with a small smile ready (unless it actually hit me and it hurt, then I just glare at them.) So then I discovered the culprits. And they gave me that usual look, that all the culprits do. They look surprised/guilty/slightly pleased with themselves. And then the excuses came "That was SO suposed to go over there." The first one said. "Yeah, it totally bounced." The other one said. Then I smiled a bit (I try to be a good sport). "Whoa, that totally skimmed your face!" The first one exclaimed. He sounded too happy. Apperantly he thought so too, because then he added, trying to be serious, "But you know. My bad."
I think I've been hit in the head by just about every type of sports ball. Incuding one of those really big colourful balls that every child has owned at one time or another. Someone brought one on the bus (genius) and then it hit me in the back of the head. That didn't hurt, it was just really random. And then someone threw a pencil at my head earlier this school year. They claimed it was a mistake. Suuuuure. And then a math text book fell on my head. That HURT. But no one threw it at me. It just fell off the dhelf of my locker (and onto my head) when I was leaning over to get something.
And I've also been hit in the face with a couple things. That usually hurts more. Like a tennis ball, for instance. And then my eye got hit by a paper airplane in kindergarden. The teacher got so mad at that guy, saying I could've gone blind or something.
There's probably lots more too, that I can't think of.
Maybe I'm just insane, and everyone else has been hit in the head by a thousand things too. But it doesn't seem like it. But let me know. 1月13日 Oasis concert, and my (probable) lack of attendanceHa, about twenty minutes ago, I heard on the radio that Oasis is playing at the Air Canada Center in March. As some of you know, Oasis is pretty much my favourite band EVER. So I got so excited, and was like "Oh my God! I HAVE TO GO!! It's gunna be so awesome!"
Yeah, then I relised that there is no way in HELL that I'm going.
I looked on the internet for more info, and I found out that the cheapest tickets cost $47.50. Of course, I'd be willing to pay that to see Oasis. But my parents wouldn't pay that to go see a band they don't like (actually, they don't know any of their music, so I guess they can't really dislike them.) And no one I know likes (or has heard of) Oasis. And my parents would probably rather die than let me go by myself.
And even if I DID have a friend to go with, they probably STILL wouldn't let me go. And to be honest, I probably wouldn't feel comfortable just with a friend. But I'd also feel like a total dork if I went with my parents. And even if I payed for their tickets too or something, they STILL probably wouldn't want to go.
Even though I know there's no point. I'm going to "casually" bring it up. And then my mom will give me one of those "Why-are-you-even-bothering-to-ask? Theres-no-way-in-hell-you're-going" looks.
So yeah...Bon Jovi's out to get your money. Beware. No seriously. Their cheapest tickets were like, 67 bucks. What a bunch of scammers. I know they're a "classic rock" band, but still. Queen's cheapest were only like, 50 bucks. Mind you, the best part of their band, Freddie Mercury, isn't around any more, so they had to get some other guy to be lead singer, but still...they're still Queen. Nickelback's tickets were only 40 bucks. Go see them. They're nice young boys who aren't just out to steal your money.
1月5日 Amazing artwork and From Justin to KellyI stumbled across this website, and all the art is by this one girl, and it's so amazing, I had to show you some of it.
All artwork by Zindy S. D. Nielsen from http://zindy.zone.dk
This one's my absolute favourite. It looks so realistic:
 Another amazing one:
and there's soooo many other great pictures, so CHECK OUT THAT SITE!
Last night I decided to watch From Justin to Kelly, which I had taped a while ago. I'm sure you've all heard about how bad it's suposed to be, right? Well, it lives up to those expectations. Whoever came up with the idea for a romantic-comedy-musical starring Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini should be fired. But it did have some of those so-bad-it's-good moments. Like the Hovercraft Laundry Basketball Game. That was fun. Ewww...but Kelly would've had to kiss Justin. That's just gross:P And they kept talking about how "cute" he was. Hahaha...well, I guess some girls think he's cute. 1月3日 Happy (slightly belated) New Year!Is it 2006 already? It seems like it just turned into 2005! Here's 2005, a year in review.
Of course there was the devestating Hurricane Katrina in the summer, and the boxing day Toronto shooting of 15-year-old Jane Creba. And while both were horrible events, they showed that people can really pull together and help. Celebrities like Sean Penn took matters into their own hands and rescued victims of Hurricane Katrina. And an impromptu (sp?) shrine was set up at the spot where Jane Creba was caught in cross gunfire while she was out shopping with her parents. Complete strangers of the victim stopped and gave their prayers and/or left flowers, candles or notes for the 15 year old.
Canada took a huge step forward, and leagalized gay marriage.
In deaths, Pope John Paul II passed away, as did late night legend Johnny Carson, and Gilligan's Island star, Bob Denver.
Michael Jackson was found "not guilty" on all child-molestation charges. Some jury members have said they believe that Michael was actually guilty, but there wasn't enough evidence to back it up.
A new Harry Potter book and movie were released for fans to enjoy this year.
Big box-office hits included the final Star Wars installment, Harry Potter, War of the Worlds, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, King Kong, and surprise hits March of the Penguins, Wedding Crashers, and the 40-Year Old Virgin.
Popular bands and musicians icluded Green Day, Black Eyed Peas, Gwen Stefani, and Kelly Clarkson.
iPod and Xbox released huge sucesses iPod Nano AND iPod video, and the highly anticipated xbox 360.
Britney had a baby, Jessica and Nick seperated, Brad and Jen split leaving Angelina to go after Brad, and Tom Cruise went insane, and inpregnated and got engaged to Katie Holmes.
And there you have it, a (very brief) year in review. 12月29日 Confessions of My Bleeding EarsHey! Hope you all had an amazing Christmas/Hanukkah/any other holidays you celebrate!
Since it's quickly approaching the end of 2005, I figured I might as well count down:
The Top 10 WORST Songs of 2005
10. Shake it Off - Mariah Carey
Even worse then We Belong Together, this song is actually somewhat painful to listen to. I've never been a Mariah Carey fan, and I probably never will be.
9. Boyfriend - Ashlee Simpson
It's the debut song off her new CD, and it sucks. It tries to cover it up with somewhat catchy guitar riffs, but when you actually listen to the song, it just doesn't cut it.
8. Hollaback Girl - Gwen Stefani
Everyone was so obsessed with this song, and it was actually pretty sad. This isn't really even a song! Half of it's just a mediocre cheer, telling us how to spell bananas. It's so repetive and lacking of musical value.
7. These Boots Are Made For Walking - Jessica Simpson
She took a classic Nancy Sinatra (I'm sure many of you are asking, 'who?') song and did her own rendition just so she could make a raunchy video out of it to promote her movie. Willie Nelson (again, 'who?') sings and is in the video for about all of three second in which he's practically inaudible.
6. Confessions of a Broken Heart - Lindsay Lohan
Okay, I'll admit it. I've caught myself humming this song a couple times. I don't even know why. It's not that catchy of a song or anything. And really, it's a pretty crappy song. The video is absolutely hillarious (and no in the laughing-with-you kind of way). Did you know Lindsay Lohan directed it. That explains a lot...
5. Ass Like That - Eminem/ Candy Shop - 50 Cent
I don't listen to rap music, but I had the unfortunate oppertunity to be bombarded with these two songs on Much Music. I put them in the same spot, because they're practically the same thing. Completely demeaning and pointless.
4. Don't Cha - The Pussycat Dolls
When I first heard this song, I thought it was a spoof, or a parody of Britney Spears or something. But no. It's an actual song. A damn catchy one too. But still crap. Did you know the PCD's used to be burlesque dancers? Yeah...apperantly that gives them the right to become pop stars now.
3. Wake Up - Hilary Duff
Oh lord. This song sucks. Even for Hilary Duff.
2. Red Hair - Shawn Desmon
Hahahaha....wow. This song doesn't even make sense. And it's funny. No wonder Ron Sparks (from video on trial) hates Shawn Desmon so much. The video is so pathetic. This is bad.
1. My Humps - The Black Eyed Peas
I actually HATE this song. The Black Eyed Peas? Not my thing, but a couple of their songs are okay. But this one? NO. It's not even catchy or very dancable. It's so stupid. AND on top of that, it gave us the slang phrase 'junk in the trunk' which lots of celebrity critics and what not are now using. Crapola
12月21日 It's that time of year again...Every year, Much Music counts down their top 20 hottest guys list. And every year (okay, only for like, the past three years) I watch. I KNOW that it's extrememly shallow and everything...but it's fun.
So this year I decided to tell you what I thought of their choices. And, in attempt to make it less shallow, I'm breaking it down into two categories (looks, and talent) and then combining them into an overall hotness rating.
20. Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day)  Looks - I guess he's alright looking. Mainly thanks to unhealthy amounts of eyeliner, that is. Plus, he's kind of old (like 30)
3/5
Talent - No one can deny that Green Day's had an awesome year. 4 singles (with another one just released), and since Billie Joe's the main songwriter, and lead singer, their fame can mostly be credited to him.
4/5
Overall - I'm actually really surprised he wasn't way higher on the list. I was expecting, like top 5 or something.
3.5/5
19. Pharrell Williams
 Looks - Erm, sorry, but no. Maybe if he grew his hair or something. I mean, I guess there's a LITTLE potential, but no.
1.5/5
Talent - Not really. He works with Gwen Stefani, who I don't like so, obviously, he's not for me.
2/5
Overall - Um...no thanks
1.75/5
18. Massari
 Looks - NO. Again, longer hair might help. Might being the key word
1/5
Talent - NO NO NO NO NO. He sounds like a dying chicken when he sings. And his songs suck, and are completely demeaning to women, and his lyrics make no sense.
0/5
Overall - NO. .5/5
17. Jacob Hoggard (Hedley)
 Looks - Meh. Nice smile (but not in that pic)
2/5
Talent - Started off as 3rd place finisher on CI (same season as Kalan). He's a quirky, funny guy. His band's first song, On My Own, is catchy, though not exactly a musical masterpiece
2.5/5
Overall - Why would they put Jacob on here and NOT Kalan?
2.5/5
16. Justin Timberlake
 Looks - Looked way better with his NSYNC afro. Short hair doesn't suit him
2/5
Talent - I felt bad for him when he got booed at SARS stock. Not my favourite muscien, but I guess he's okay.
2/5
Overall - What has he even do ne this year? Why do they keep putting him on the list?
2/5
15. Johnny Depp
 Looks - He's kind of old. I find some young girls obsessions with him frightning, seeing as he could easily be their father. But he's not bad looking, for an old guy.
3/5
Talent - Awesome actor. Awesome in PotC and Finding Neverland
5/5
Overall - It's sad that (so far) the best guy on this list is also in his forties.
4/5
14. Jesse McCartney
 Looks - For the love of God, NO! He looks like Aaron Carter gone wrong.
.5/5
Talent - NO NO NO NO NO NO. He can't sing or act for crap.
0/5
Overall - Take him away.
.25/5
13. Orlando Bloom
 Looks - That's more like it! Sure, I'm not as obsessed with him as I used to be, but he's definately NOT bad looking.
4/5
Talent - Not bad. Not exactly Academy Award material, but he can hold his own.
2.5/5
Overall - Way better than Mr. McFartney.
3.5
12. Jared Padalecki from Supernatural
 Looks - See! He knows how to work the long hair!
3.5/5
Talent - Sorry. Haven't seen him act. But from the House of Wax Live @ MUCH thing I saw, he seemed the nicest out of the bunch.
3/5
Overall - 3.25/5
11. Chad Michael Murray
 Looks - Definately not bad looking. At all. But he (like most guys) looks horrible with super short hair (but he's not the only one. I've seen Noah Wylie and Heath Ledger with super short hair, and they too looked terrible)
3/5
Talent - I've only seen him in Freaky Friday, but he was okay in that:P
3/5
Overall - Not bad.
3/5
10. Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance)
 Looks - Bwahaha:P He's pretty hot when he doesn't have freaky make-up and actually has normal hair (see top picture).
4/5
Talent - Helena and Ghost of You are okay songs. MCR is okay, but not my fave.
3/5
Overall - 3.5/5
9. Joel Madden (Good Charlotte)
 Looks - Wow...that's actually a pretty good pic...for him. Believe me, it was just lucky I stumbled upon that one. But generally, he's not that great looking.
2.5/5
Talent - Erm...no. Good Charlotte? Not so great.
2/5
Overall - Ew. He's dating Hilary Duff. That's just nasty.
2.25/5
8. Ryan Reynolds
 Looks - As you can see, he's nicely built. But it's kinda scary. His face is alright.
3/5
Talent - Sorry, haven't seen him in anything.
Overall - 3/5
7. Kanye West
 Looks - Sorry, but I don't think he's really that great looking. He has a nice smile and everything...but yeah, not that great looking.
2/5
Talent - I have some respect for the guy his whole "George Bush doesn't care about black people" was...interesting. Maybe not true, but interesting none the less. His song "Jesus Walks" is cool.
3.5/5
Overall - Yeah...he's cool, I guess.
2.75/5
6. Brandon Flowers (The Killers)
 Looks - He's cute. In a pathetic kind of way:P
3/5
Talent - I love the Killers
 5/5
Overall - w00t
4/5
5. Adam Brody
 Looks - Schmeh. It's like he's almost hot...but not quite.
3/5
Talent - I've only seen half an episode of the OC (I thought it was really stupid) But Adam's nerdy character was the best on the show
3/5
Overall - 3/5
4. Usher
 Looks - Meh. He doesn't seem as great as most girls make him sound.
2/5
Talent - Not for me.
2/5
Overall - No thanks.
2/5
3. Pierre Bouvier (from Simple Plan)
 Looks - I don't get this one AT ALL. Sorry, but he's NOT hot.
1.5/5
Talent - I like Simple Plans song "Untitled". That's it. Other than that, they just piss me off. Especially Pierre's voice. It's so whiny and annoying.
1.5/5
Overall - Ew.
1.5/5
2. Ryan Gosling
 Looks - Totally hot in The Notebook (which I thought was kind of a stupid movie. But it had its moments.)
4/5
Talent - Good actor (in the notebook anyways)
4/5
Overall - Oooh yeah!
4/5
1. Jake Gyllenhaal
 Looks - He even looked decent with super short hair in Jarhead. and that's saying a lot. Still, there's something missing. I can't put my finger on it...but still, he's hot.
4.5/5
Talent - Great actor. He's becomming more and more famous and getting huge lead roles. Kudos to Jake!
5/5
Overall - Out of the list given, he's probably the best on it!
4.75/5
My Top 5 guys off of the 20 guys given (Looks and talent taken into count)
5. Orlando Bloom
4. Johnny Depp
3. Brandon Flowers
2. Ryan Gosling
1. Jake Gyllenhaal
Honourable Mention - Gerard Way
Guys left out who should have been on the list - Kalan Porter, Heath Ledger, ... okay, so that's about it.
Do you agree? Disagree? Either way, leave comments!
12月6日 Random Bolg of Randomness (wow, that was random)Random Topic #1: My Grandma's TV gets Much More Music
Yeah, I've known this for a while, but I'm still depating if MMM is any good.
It doesn't really play any current music videos, unless it's for a actual purpose. But really, that's not such a bad thing. And it has some amusing shows like "Back in..." and "Listed". So for a while, it was doing okay.
But last night, while watching it at my Grandma's, I witnessed one of the most pathetic awards show.
Seriously, it was worse than the MMVA's.
When I first tuned into the show, the "Real OC" (aka 2 ditzy blondes) were talking about how the often have to "share things", which was followed by an extremely awkward silence, which afterwards one of them exclaimed "I was talking about dressing rooms!" No laughter followed.
I was about to switch off, but then I noticed that behind the 2 airheads, there was a set of drums with the INXS logo on it. I stuck around.
The blondes introduce INXS, with their new frontman, JD Fourtune, winner of TV show Rockstar:INXS. The sounded pretty good. Of course, they ONLY showed JD, seeing as the other members of the band are probably in their fifties by now. Okay, so JD looked and sounded good, but some of his, erm...dancing was a little hard to take. And I was quite fascinated as to how his shirt magically became unbuttoned half way through the song.
Then some total ignoramises breifly commented on the performance, and then switched to convincing their gay freind that he wasn't fat.
So then the award for the Best Breakout Star was given. Penguins were nominated. Not even kidding. Apperantly this has been a very good year for penguins in between March of the Penguins, Madagascar, and the two gay penguins at some zoo.
Unfortunately, they lost. Some guy that I had never heard of won. He should be so proud that he actually beat the penguins. That's some pretty stiff competiton.
Random Topic #2: Video on Trial is the funniest show. Ever.
Ha, after that messed up awards show, I flipped over to Much Music for some quality TV! And I laughed myu ass off at Video on Trial. Perfect show. They targeted Lindsay Lohan's "Confession of a Broken Heart" and Green Day's "Jesus of Surburbia"! Two of the videos I currently hate most. They also dissed an
Ashlee Simpson video, and a Shakira one. The only thing that would have made it better would be if my favourite judge, Ron Sparks was on it. But my second favourite judge, David Kerr was there. Anyways line of the show was actually said by Trevor Boris, talking about Ashlee Simpson "She shouldn't be complaining! She should just be thankful that she doesn't have Lindsay Lohan's dad, or the mom from the Green Day video!"
Lol, I was just sitting there laughing for like, 5 minutes.
Anyways, I thought they were a little hard on Kanye West's "Diamonds are Forever". I mean, at least it actully has some meaning, unlike all the other videos on the show (okay, so Jesus of Surburbia has a bit of meaning. It shows how screwed up your life could be). Lol, but one line in the song caught my attention:
"Now all I need is y'all to pronounce my name
Its Kanye - But some of my plaques - they still say Kayne" Lmao, I felt like such an idiot after I heard that. I used to actually think his name WAS pronounced Kayne (phonetically - Cane). But you know then I actually heard someone say it, and realised it was Kanye. That was kinda like how, for the longest time, I thought Beyonce's name was pronounced Boyence or something strange like that.
But what's a plaque? Oooh, maybe it's like an award type of plaque. I bet that's it. I was thinking it was some slang for stupid white people (like myself) or something. But yeah, he's probably talking about awards:P
Random Topic #3: Family Guy's such a rude show. But apparently, all is forgiven if a character on the show admits it.
After VoT, I watched the new episode of Family Guy. It was actually a pretty cute episode, with Brian going on the Bachlorette, and falling in love, but the girl was only pretending to fall in love with him for TV...
But anyways, in one part Lois is trying to feed Stewie so me food. She uses the old "here comes the airplane" gag to try to get him to eat it. Then Stewie whack the spoon out of her hand, and says "And I guess the pilot was JFK Junior!"
I just sat there in semi-shock over how poor taste that was. I mean, have they run out of jokes, and are now resorting (even more so) to humour like that?
But then Stewie adds, looking to the camera "Wow, even I admit that was in bad taste!"
So then I laughed.
Lol, it's funny how all is forgiven if the show can admit that something was over-the-top. I mean, it's not like they don't already know that it is. But somehow it's funnier if they can admit it.
Feel free to leave your random thoughts. Or anything. Please leave comments!
 11月28日 Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - ReviewI FINALLY saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire last night! And it didn't dissapoint!
I thought they captured the whole thing b-e-a-utifully! The special effects were awesome! Although in some parts you could tell that it was CGI and all (eg. Dragons) it was amazingly well done. The acting (in general) was good.
Newcomers to the series, Mad-Eye Moody and Rita Skeeter were as quirky and whimsical as I imagined from the books. Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) did an awesome job. He was always the best actor out of the (children's) bunch, and he keeps improving with each movie. Rupert Grint (Ron Weasly) did an solid job as well. My past love Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) really isn't that great of an actor, but it was passable, and since he wasn't in the movie that much - and mostly just was for comical relief, it worked out. The smaller roled students (Cho Chang, Cedric, Krum, Fleur, Neville...) all did good jobs aswell.
The BIG problem I had was with Emma Watson (Hermione Granger). I didn't think she did a very good job AT ALL. She started off alright in the first movie, but seems to have peaked by the third. She over-acted to the point where I was honestly embarresed for her. She was trying to be dramatic and everything, but it turned out nearly unwatchable.
As for the plot, I thought they rushed things a bit (but I guess they had to - the movie was alread two and a half hours long). They left out some things from the book, the most noticable being Hermione's S.P.E.W. protest. But that was okay. The house-elves are kind of annoying - plus it would've just been more oppertunity for Emma Watson to show off her lack of acting ability.
They captured the book well, and certainly did it justice. The emotion was captured well, for the most part. (-insert shameless stab at Emma Watson here-) I thought the most interesting parts were the 3 tasks (I thought that in the book too) and when Mad-Eye was showing them the three unforgivable curses. It was quite sad when -insert name of dead character here- died. I still say that I was more sad when he died than when -insert names of dead characters here- from books 5&6 died. I dunno why, it just affected me more.
So in total, I thought Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was awesome. It was considerably darker (hence the PG-13 rating in the US) and Voldermort was quite scary. It's definately worth seeing on the big screen, if not for the special effects alone.

11月25日 Favourite "Weird Al" LyricsAs you may know, Weird Al is my new idol (okay, so I have many, but he's one of them.) So I decided that I'll post some lyrics from some songs of his that I found especially hillarious.
From "Couch Potato":
"But I only watched "Will And Grace" one time one day
Wish I hadn't 'cause TiVo now thinks I'm gay" "Oh, and "Fear Factor" I watched maybe a half hour
After that, felt like I needed a long shower Network execs with naked ambitions "Next week on FOX, watch lions eat Christians"" "Wanna turn on "E.T." 'cause I'm a gossip freak
And I gotta know who J. Lo is marryin' this week" "I love shows with or without a plot
I'll stare 'til my legs are numb, my eyes bloodshot Because I only have got One brain to rot" From "A Complicated Song":
"My girlfriend came around...
Who would have guessed Her family crest I'd suddely spy Tattooed on her thigh And son-of-a-gun It's just like the one on me" "What to do now? Should I go ahead and propose
And get hitched and have kids with eleven toes And move to Alabama where that kind of thing is tolerated?" "Why'd I have to go and get myself decapitated?
This really is a major inconvenience, oh man, I really hate it Such a drag, now ... Can't eat, I can't breathe, I can't snore I can't belch or yodel anymore" "But my neck is enjoyin' a pleasant breeze now
Haven't been the same since my head and I were separated" From "Smells Like Nirvana":
"Now I'm mumblin' and I'm screamin'
And I don't know what I'm singin' Crank the volume, ears are bleedin' I still don't know what I'm singin' We're so loud and incoherent Boy, this oughta bug your parents" "Sing distinctly? We don't wanna
Buy our album, we're Nirvana A garage band from Seattle Well it sure beats raisin' cattle"
Coming soon: favourite lyrics to "ebay" and "Jedi Knight" 11月24日 AFI's Top 100 MoviesInspired by my french class (don't ask, it's a long, and actually really boring story) I decided to see which movies The American Film Institute put on their top 100 movies of all time. It's actually really pathetic how many of them I HAVEN'T seen. Though I have heard of almost all of them. I consider myself to be somewhat culturaly knowedgable (at least I actually KNOW who Kurt Cobain is:P) anyways, but yeah . I've decided that I need to start watching these movies. I hope to one day see them all. I'll have to ask my mom if she's seen them all. She probably has. She's a total movie nut. Anyways, so the one's highlighted in red, I've seen. The ones in green, we actually OWN and have in our house, but I have not yet seen (there's a surprising amount.)

11月22日 Todays Random TopicsRandom Topic #1:
Jumping off the roofs of apartments into swimming pools isn't a very smart idea.
Just ask Anthony Kiedis, lead singer of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. I was listening to the 102.1, which is pretty much my new favourite radio station. I got bored with CHUM and Rodger, Rick and Marilyn who are like FIFTY and are always talking about stupid things I don't care about. But anyways, on the edge they were talking about Scar Tissue, Anthony Kiedis's biography (also the name of an awesome song), and in it, he ways saying that he and Flea (another member of RHCP) used to jump off their apartment into their apartments. But one day, Anthony missed the pool, and broke his back. Now, I assume their apartment was probably only a couple stories, because if it was some highrise, there would be no wqay he could survive.
Random Topic #2:
Weird Al is the greatest person ever.
In case you're a little knowledge deprived, Weird Al Yankovic is a parody singer who takes already existing songs and puts his own hillarious lyrics to them. But he's so awesome. He makes it sound like he actually wrote the songs himself. Lmao, his song "Couch Potato" is pretty much my life story  . Seriously, go download it. Or just ask me for it, and I'll send it to you. Lol, and his song "Why Does This Always Happen to Me" is funny, when he's complaining that the News interupted the Simpsons to report a huge tragedy (lol, sounds like something Mitch would say, eh Alison?). And "Ode to a Superhero" is great too.Random Topic #3:
If you're buying crack cocaine, but you have a sneaking suspicion that it's actually flour, than it probably is.
Again, I head this on the edge. Some guy was trying to pass off baking flour for crack, and some people actually fell for it. But then he got arrested. To quote the DJ: "Man! You can't even sell fake drugs anymore!"
Random Topic #4:
There's more hot guys at the Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC than there are at the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame in Cleavland, Ohio.
Seriously. There were only a couple hot guys at the Rock Hall (shockinlgly), but there were like, TONS at what I would expect to be the nerd-infested Air and Space Museum. Now, when we were at the Rock Hall, it was the afternoon of a weekday, during March Break (but the Americans have it a different week). But we were at AaSM in the middle of summer, so that could have something to do with it.
Random Topic #5:
Ashlee Simpson Fast Food Freak Out.
I know. Kinda hard to understand. But I think you get the general idea. I think SOMEONE was totally wasted.
Enjoy.
11月16日 Confessions Of An Aspiring GuitaristI'm trying to teach myself guitar...again.
Not to say that I failed miserably the first two times (well, I kind of did the first, but not the second). But I just didn't really stick with it. Sure, I could really jam out to House of the Rising Sun...but that's about it. So far I'm doing okay. I've printed out the chords to Mr. Brightside (the Killers) and Don't Look Back in Anger (Oasis), and they actually kind of sound like the song. So it's cool.
But I REALLY want to stick with it this time. Guitar is so awesome, and I wanna learn. And I kind of want to teach myself too. I mean, it's fun going to piano lessons and stuff, but I want to struggle away by myself this time
So...yeah. I found some more cool poems today in english. One I REALLY like. It's not stupid like the others, it's actually just a really nice poem, that actually has, what I think is, a really good meaning to it. I wrote it down in my english book, which I left at school, but I WILL right it down here.
So anyways, i have to go watch TV 11月15日 Really Random/Emo Wannabe/Really Random Emo Wannabe Poems I foundMy english class is the most painful, boring event I have ever witnessed (and am forced to witness everyday). Honestly...I want to kill it. I laugh at you Alison and Lexi, cause u have Ms. Spinster (that's what I've decided to call her now) next term.
So anyways, we started a poems unit today, and had to read the gayest poems EVER. But we got handed out this book with a whole bunch of poems.
I'm not really a big poem fan. Especially the ones about how much someone loves someone else, or what a beautiful day it is, which was mostly what this book was full of. (crap, incase you hadn't caught on). So, I decided to go for a search for the shortest, most random poems I could find. It was actually quite easy to find. Here are some:
"Succes Story"
Please die, I said
So I can write about you.
--Margaret Atwood
"Is it?"
Death isn't fair
It isn't fair
It isn't fair
Is it?
--(forgot to write down the author)
"Untitled"
If flowers want to grow
right out of the sidewalk cracks
I'm going to bend down and smell them
(this next one's my favourite:P)
The Worlds Shortest Pessimistic Poem
Hope?
Nope.
--Robert Zend
I plan to search for more tomorrow.
 You know what would be awesome? If people actually wrote poetry or something cool on the washroom stalls, rather than calling each other sluts, proclaiming their love to random guys, drawing pictures of penises or wiping random substances on them.
OR if someone put their poetry in library books, like in that All-American Rejects video. That'd be awesome. I should do that. Damn, I just blew my cover.
Oh, and I'd just like you all to know:
OASIS IS THE BEST BAND EVER
Ahem.
Jazz band is awesome. Maybe you should actually COME once in a while, eh Ali? Wow, I switched fonts. But I couldn't find the one I was using before, which is sad, because there's only like, eight to choose from. Meh, I like this one better anyways. So yeah, so long for now, unless I choose to come back and randomly write some more stuff, like I just did. You know, random outbursts are fun. Like my whole OASIS IS THE BEST BAND EVER outburst. Which IS true. I'm slowly getting all their CD's by way of the local library, and Milton's too. Seriously, check them out.
Top 5 Oasis Songs
5. Married With Children
4. Don't Look Back in Anger
3. Lyla
2. Champagne Supernova
1. Wonderwall
I'm sure you all know Wonderwall and/or Don't Look Back in anger, although you may not know it. But I'm serious, CHECK THEM OUT. THEY ARE AMAZING. I honestly can't stop listening to them on my mp3 player. w00t.
11月14日 Top 10 Celebrities Easiest to Make Fun OfTop 10 Celebrities Easiest to Make Fun Of
10. Hilary Duff
Okay, so she hasn't really done anything incredibly sluty or idiotic, but her lack of acting and singing talent is enough to get her on the list. It's only a matter of time until a scandal errupts. Besides that one about her dating the dude from Good Charlotte.
9. Britney Spears
Ew. Her new perfume commercial is so stupid. But funny. Kind of like her in general. Except with out the funny part.
8. Jessica Simpson
Ew, have you SEEN her "These Boots Are Made For Walking" video. It's nasty. MAD TV made fun of it. It was really funny. But the scary part was, it wasn't even that exagerated.
7. Ashlee Simpson
Saturday Night Live. Need I say more? Oh, and her jelousy and lack of singing ability.
6. Paris Hilton
"That's hot."
That's probably one of the stupidest catch phrases ever, but it sure did catch on. She's also probably one of the stupidest (and slutiest) female ever, and really does give a bad name to women everywhere.
5. Kevin Federline
Haha...see previous blogs. I think he's mentioned in at least 3 of them. It shouldn't be too hard to find.
4. Lindsay Lohan
Ha, what a loser. See previous blog. Her new video SUCKS. I recommend that you all watch it once (and only once) and just sit back, and laugh your ass off. Maybe we'd feel sorry for her if she didn't go around telling people to stay out of her personnel life, and then makes videos like Rumours and Confessions of a Broken Heart. I can't wait untill video on trial gets hold of Confessions of a Broken Heart.
3. Micheal Jackson
Ah, good old Whacko Jacko. We all no he really IS a child molestor.
2. Tom Cruise
What a lunatic. You know, everything was going okay until a year ago or so. Then he had to go and show us all how crazy he is. Now he's DEFINATELY got the attention of the media. Sure they ridicule him (for good reason), but they say there's no such thing as bad publicity.
1. Jesse McCartney/McCrapney/McFartney
Ha. What a retard. It was great when the Napoleon Dynamite guy called him "Jesse McCrapney". I laughed so hard. McFartney's such a loser. He should just quit trying to act or sing, since he can't do either.
