youtube is amazing
i found all these old britpop videos on youtube today. we’re talking sleeper, mansun, shed seven, longpigs, geneva, gene(!), rialto, stone roses and the usual suspects (pulp, suede, blur). the only thing is the quality is a bit shit. i mean yeah i can stare at louise wener and sigh and she looks amazing, but it’s time to get these videos in better quality. i don’t know how to go about making that happen, but this may be one of my new tasks when i get back to california.

The Office - The Negotiation
i don’t know how other to review the office then by saying it makes me laugh...it makes me laugh hard.
i couldn’t wait until last night’s episode. as predicted, the jim/pam/roy thing came to a head during the cold open. somehow i knew that dwight was going to be the hero. even though i was secretly hoping kevin would play a part (he tries to help out later on). i knew that somehow dwight would save the day. this is not to say that the show is predictable in anyway, it just that these characters are all so well established. dwight was a volunteer sheriff he knows how to handle these situations. he just doesn’t know how to handle pepper spray. dwight’s talking head with tears running down his face from the pepper spray was priceless.
the a story tonight was of course the salary negotiations. michael scott simply amazes me. every once in a while we see glimmers of why he has been able to hold on to his job for so long. he knows the paper business, he knows dunder mifflin’s business. yet, most of the time he is like a child that needs things explained to him as such. it’s endearing, infuriating, and unbelievably hysterical at the same time. there’s no question why jan feels the way she does about michael. i don’t want to get into the specifics of the a story because it was typical “office” brilliance. from the women’s suit to tobey preparing for the deposition.
i have one little gripe. jenna fischer recently stated on her blog that she feels like the character of darryl is the most normal person in the office. while i agree he is the most well adjusted i kinda think he is a dick. i don’t like the way he treats michael at all. the only reason he pushed michael to get a raise was so he could get one too. i don’t know. i just think he is a dick.
one last note. i know a lot of people are going to say that pam is not flat out denying that she is ever going to try and win jim back, but let me pose this question...if you just witnessed your ex try and kick the ass of the person you were into, how quickly would you admit to your ex that you were gonna go for it with the other one?

Birds of Prey
The show not the comic...yeah you read that right. Anyway, been watching the eps of this show. Besides noting that Ashley Scott should be seen and not heard, and that Dina Meyer really is Barbara Gordon straight out of the comics I noticed something else..."rock a bye baby" is a creepy ass song.
Huntress sings the song to a baby she rescues and listening to the words...yikes. "the cradle will fall and down will come baby cradle and all." I will so not sing that song to my kids. Not that I'm having any.

Doctor Who, Series 3, Episode 1, "Smith and Jones"
The new series of Doctor Who premiered in the UK this weekend and of course I fired up the old bittorrent client because I couldn't wait to see it.
So, Rose is gone and I feel that with her went the heart and soul of the show. Last year's Christmas special had the Doctor dealing with this loss, but I don't know if this viewer ever will.
I'm not dissing new companion Martha Jones by any means but it just doesn't feel the same. Not that I really expected it too.
The episode was ok. I enjoyed it. David Tennant is definitely the best Doctor since Tom Baker. He's funny, charming, and at times just plain mad.
Still I miss Rose...I think the Doctor does too.

Coincidence
This morning while walking to the subway I found .35 on the ground. My breakfast this morning happened to cost $6.35...bizarre.

Target is the great equalizer.
Sooner or later you see everyone you know at Target. Today at Target in Brooklyn I saw this very cute hipster/scenester girl who I recognized from San Franciso. Amazing.

help me
you know what is annoying? celebs in rehab.
here’s the deal. you’ve got a lot of money. you piss it away on booze and drugs. you realize you are losing your money, so you spend a ton more of it on rehab so you’ll stop with the drugs and the booze.
just stop with the drugs and the booze god dammit. or someone take away all the ridiculous amounts of money these people are making for doing extremely little.
look i understand addiction is a very real thing. psycosis is a very real thing. people with real problems should get real help.
most celebrities do not have real problems. then again most celebrities aren’t even real people. yes britney has lost her god damn mind, but she lost it because she couldn’t handle celebrity to begin with.
l-o-s-e-r
ok. i’m surly today...donger need food.

winter maneuvers
walking home on monday i couldn’t help but think about how much i loved the snow as a kid. not because of days off from school (though that was a definite plus) but because it meant that it was time for winter maneuvers.
most kids went sledding or had snowball fights with friends, but not me. nope as soon as i was all bundled up in my snow gear i was out on the front lawn with the joe team getting ready to foil cobra’s latest nefarious plan. you see there were always snow covered settings in episodes of g.i.joe. there had to be, how else would the make use of characters like frostbite and snow job? so when the snow fell in trenton, new jersey it was my chance to take my team out into one of those settings. polar battle bear in hand (i never got a snow cat, i know poor me) the battle would rage on until it was too cold to stay out anymore. then it was inside for hot cocoa.
now snow is a nuisance. a mess that i wish to avoid. another reason i like california, if i want to see snow, i’ll drive to it. it doesn’t come to me unexpectedly, ruining my plans for a fun weekend.
