Two days ago (which was "yesterday" when I went to post this this morning at 1 am and never hit post):
Well... watching x-men and I'm pretty sure it's just an excuse for Hugh Jackman to prance around without a shirt. Lol. Also... wouldn't an MRI almost kill him? Although I guess it was an x-ray, based on the prints, but still, it looked like an MRI machine.
Man, you know what would be really cool? It would be expensive, probably, buuuut. I read an article a while ago about how disorganized people are more... creative, or something? Because they come across all the stuff they haven't really organized. And I like to think it keeps my memory active to think, when did I last use that, and then where did I set it down? But anyway... I'm sorting through my books, well, organizing them (in the sense they all fit on the shelves) so my mom doesn't throw any out, because I want to have a library one day. Seriously. Big-ass awesome super-tall library. With one of those slidey ladders. Anyway, so I'm thinking, I love going through my books like this because it's so random and I come across things I haven't read in a while, or books I forgot I had. So I was trying to come up with a way to organize a library in such a way that would be random enough to come across books I haven't read in a while, but easy to locate books I needed. I've seen a couple on Neatorama where they were organized by color, but that would fuck with series, which I would want to keep together, or random similarly-topic-ed books, whatever my whims were. Aaand? Cheap little sticky chips that could go in the spine or the front cover or whatever. Or even a piece-of-thread-bookmark-chip. But then have a scanner that could see where you put books, and then I could put books WHEREVER I WANTED, and search with keywords from a program. And I could put in photos and summaries and titles and authors and ISBN numbers and comments and a little history on each one and maybe keep track of what projects I used them for or how many times I've read each one. Ooh, or keep track of quotes. Hmm... I'd either have to have someone do it for me or learn to do something like it myself, but the only way how I can think of is to learn to do something like it online, like they do with tag clouds and all, or that system dad used to make his own address book. I dunno. Work with someone to learn, maybe.
Would that not be awesome?
Just another semi-technical-invention to go with my dream-recorder I've always wanted...
Okay, so, semi-interesting story. When mom and I were living with and taking care of Nana (so... sophomore year...) I remember watching the Tonys on television (AND HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO CATCH THEM SINCE, ARGH), and seeing Wicked. And... hmm... I sort of knew about it from Rachel, I might have read the first chapter of the book she had sitting around from Eighth Grade Days, though for some reason I'm thinking that was junior year (and that prompted me to get the soundtrack? Or, no, I didn't have it until after my 16th birthday party and after we went to see Little Shop at the Dayton Playhouse because her gay friend was doing bitchy commentary (between Elphaba and Galinda) as we blasted it driving back down 35, and I remembered Defying Gravity from the Tony's... eh, irrelevant. ANYWAY, Hugh Jackman was hosting because he'd been in Boy From Oz, and he was pretty funny. I remember taking a like to him because he pulled Sarah Jessica Parker out of the front row to dance with him but she wouldn't because she was afraid her strapless dress wouldn't stay up, and I think he was making fun of her for it. Or I was. Anyway, he had this wonderfully garish outfit on, too, like leopardprint tights or something. Anyway, it only stuck in my mind that he was a funny actor on Broadway. So I'm sitting there watching The Prestige (and going woo Christian Bale kicks ass, yeeeah Batman) and going... whyyy on eaaarth do I recognize this guy? I knew he was Wolverine because I'd seen the M15M icon from The Prestige with the "And thus, a rivalry was born" between batman/wolverine, at least I think that's why I reconized him as Wolverine, and at least I'm pretty sure I did. I mean, let's see, I think it was day of graduation? we went and saw X3 (who, me and rob and lara? pretty sure...) and I didn't really have a clue what was going on and it was sort of lame anyway and then the ending I was laughing my ass off because it involved little-to-no-clothing on an actor (who happened to be hugh jackman though my mind never made any connection then) and like every other girl in the audience was like "omg yeah" (have I ever ranted on my "I don't do celebrity crushes" thing yet? lol... yeah... just fyi. I'm more of a "I respect that person and he/she is my hero/heroine/role model/idol." ANYWAY, SLIGHT DEVIATION) or giggling or whatever, and I'm just like, fortheloveofgodcanwepleasegetthisover?ihatefangirls and ANYWAY, THE POINT IS I never connected it to the "this broadway guy is hilarious and awesome for wearing tacky outfits and singing" so yeah. I'm reading IMDB (I! Am! D! B!!! Well, I am...) and I'm like WOAH, OH YEAH, HE WAS WOLVERINE?! and then WOAH OMFG, HE WAS VAN HELSING?! because dude. Van Helsing. This was the movie Katy (and Lara?) and I went to see because it looked okay and was kind of campy but looked pretty well, and was actually sort of cheesy, or at least Frankenstein and Van Helsing's assistant and the ending made it that way, but it was still pretty damn good and we enjoyed it and the costumes and I mean Katy and her vampires and then BAM the "I like her boots" line and all, pretty much secured it for us as an enjoyable time, and so MAN. VAN HELSING. And now this guy is prancing around in front of me wearing turn of the century gorgeousness?! (Lara, what hast thou wrought [fyi she's the one who got me addicted to costuming]) AND THE TOPHATS. RAWR. (Also, kitties. Rawr!) But I mean, all of a sudden, I was just like, BAM. Hilarious inside jokes and villainry and awesome costumes and Broadway singing and THE PRESTIGE and just OH MY FUCKING GOD. If I'd never seen the Prestige then Hugh Jackman would not now be one of my favorite actors (along with Christian Bale (woo, Newsies and Batman) and Harrison Ford (omfg Indiana Jones DUH) and Will Ferrell (did you see Stranger Than Fiction?!) and Ben Stiller (Night at the Museum was AWESOME) and Dick Van Dyke, OF COURSE (seriously). So-ho-ho. I decided to wiki him (because IMDB scares me sometimes [messageboardsmuch?!]) because I'd heard that since X3 was rather ungood they were going to make a Wolverine-centered movie (no... I'm not turning into a fangirl... just turning into an obsessed weirdo like I am about anything else, where I have to have constant informational updates), which it turns out they are, but then I saw HE'S ONLY BEEN IN MOVIES SINCE 1999. WHAT
Seriously! What. Before that he was on Australian Broadway or whatever (HE'S AUSTRALIAN? GOD DAMNITUS can't claim him then) and he was Gaston (ELLL OHHH ELLL [also reminds me of the guy from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat movie who was as well... just... I hate that role sooo much, it's too hilarious]) and HE WAS IN OKLAHOMA!. (Gotta check which role, brb... and oh... my... god. He was Curly. I think I'm going to die of hilarious awesomeness.) And just... sorry... this whole paragraph and two was tangential to the fact that that would explain why I didn't really connect him until a few months ago, seeing as I pretty much never paid attention to celebrities in gradeschool (purposefully, though I'm kind of sad I didn't now, and also happy I did), and since he's kind of recent to hit Hollywood anyway.
But I mean, still. <3. I love awesome actors. Just had to share that immensely tangential story with you to get to the point of explaining something you don't care about =D Hooray! (Oh and apparently he played Curly in London, but Gaston was Melbourne, and Boy from Oz was Broadway. And OMFG HE WORKED PART TIME AS A CLOWN AROUND HIGH-SCHOOL-TIMES IT EXPLAINS SO MUCH and the rumor that he was going to be the next James Bond, while awesome, would not have fit him well, I don't think. He's too silly. =D really)
Oh. My. God. Wiki'd Oklahoma! expecting to see screenshots of the version we always watched, but no, they have the dvd cover with Hugh Jackman on it. I really should get a copy of the soundtrack to hear how he sings, I'm pretty sure I'd be laughing my ass of in awesome hilarity. (Why, yes, I'm crazy...) Awesome things make me smile, really awesomely dorky things make me laugh. (Not only do I not do celebrity crushes, my friends are convinced I don't do romantic. They could be right, as far as things prove thus far.)
WHAT
ALL-FEMALE REVUE IN JAPAN
WHAT
How do you pull of Judd?! I'm sorry... no...?
(Also, think about this. Australian to Oklahoman accent. Haha. Actually, waitaminit. JAPANESE TO OKLAHOMAN ACCENT WHAT)
OH, so, the whole I don't do celebrity crushes thing, in case I never explained it: they just don't make sense to me. Never have. I suppose I'm too logical, or something. I mean... it's a person you're never going to meet... or maybe, maybe get their autrograph? Maybe a conversation if you're lucky. Just... yeeeah.
Which reminds me, I was at the bookstore and I found a reprinted book from 1908 about "devices and mechanisms" or somesuch, and it's full or levers and pulleys and screws and cogs. Fantastic stuff. Mom and Laura thought I was nuts, dad said he would have bought it, too. ;) Then, yesterday, we dropped off mail at the post office and I jumped up in my seat because I realized Star Wars stamps come out Friday (I'm a semi-stamp-collector), and my dad was like "yup, she's an engineer." And then I was cleaning my room today, and I found a story I wrote in gradeschool about going to OBX when my arms were broken, and in the story I talked about having broken arms, the secret fort under the house, building a castle and town in the sand (and enjoying our waterway-bridge-system the most), watching Jumanji, and eating Taco Bell.
As much as I feel I've changed in the way I think about things, I'm pretty sure it's safe to say I'm still a lot of the same person. (Seriously, reading it cracked me up to no end. The bridge-waterway-system still is my favorite part.)
OH MAN, so I'm totally freaking out about leaving FRIDAY for THE WHOLE SUMMER... I have sooo much to do.
Huh, so, WB released The Joker's face yesterday (or two days ago?) but it's down now (www.ibelieveinharveydenttoo.com, I think), but, uh, yeah, I can forsee this movie making me scared of clowns (which I'm not currently, because I think it's ridiculous).
Ooh, just realized that I think it's ridiculous because clowns are friendly. I'm going to think of Hugh Jackman as a clown, and everything will totally be a-ok. =D
Today (which was actually 1 am this morning, but was technically still yesterday):
We-he-hell. Watched X-men 3 again. It makes a LOT more sense if you've seen the other two. First of all, Scott's a lot more annoying and I didn't realize he DIED DIED, mostly because I didn't understand how Jean Grey DIED DIEDandthencamebackwtf, and Xavier (EX-avier, blaaaarghdeathtoallwhodecidedit'spronouncedthatway) and everything. And Kitty and Rogue and Bobby and Storm and Wolverine and Mystique (and what happened to Nightcrawler? ...even though I hate that actor) and ALL THE SUBPLOTS I fail.
Aaaaand... I forgot that Jean Grey is a crazy bitch, and I actually understood the ending this time, and I STILL laughed my ass off at Wolverine.
Oh, and then I decided to watch Spiderman, since I'd never seen them, even though I can't stand Tobey Macguire. So, I gave it a chance, and at first, I was like, hey, this is kinda nice, he reminds me of Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future. And then he went back to being lame and it hasn't improved since.
And OH. MY. GOD.
EMOOOOOOO SPIDERMAN
I really can't get over that...
and the american flag, I totally forgot about that, what the hell.
Oh, and I still hate Tobey Macguire.
Hmm. Strange. I looked back at my final paper... you know, the one Whisnant said was good, but that we went over to remove errors? I still only got a B+. UUUUGH. I hate how consistent she is! It really does make me think she picks your grade out from the beginning, since it happened to everyone else, too. I mean, SERIOUSLY. She said it was good, I came in to go over it, and I fixed what she said. Not even an A-?! Argh.
Though I did get a B (not even B-!) in calc. Woo.
Now... time to get stressed about corps yay (I AM LEAVING IN TWO DAYS OMFGWHAT)
Well... watching x-men and I'm pretty sure it's just an excuse for Hugh Jackman to prance around without a shirt. Lol. Also... wouldn't an MRI almost kill him? Although I guess it was an x-ray, based on the prints, but still, it looked like an MRI machine.
