8:00 PM me: i was just reading ack attack, and I saw a comment of a person who said, "oh my gosh! this warms my soul!" warms my soul? I must know this person! Turns out, I do!
Mallory: Hahaha!
You know me too well.
me: Well it's always strange to see someone say exactly what i would have said.
8:01 PM i mean, really, how many people do you know that say "warms my soul?"
not very many.
Mallory: So true.
8:02 PM me: Which Gilmore Girls are you watching?
Mallory: So, I'm watching the Gilmore Girls for the first time in months. Unfortunately, its an episode from the April storyline, which is not my favorite.
me: Nor mine.
8:03 PM Mallory: It's the epsidoe where Luke is planning his trip for April's math thing, and Rory visits her mom's store, and Richard and Emily are looking for a house in Stars Hollow.
me: Ohhh.
8:04 PM That means the one with Jess's store is coming up.
Mallory: Yeah
But I think I'll have to wait until Monday for it to be recorded.
8:05 PM me: I can't remember whether I told you this, but after watching the Jess ep earlier that season, I thought to myself: I hate Peter Patrelli of Heroes, and Milo Ventimiglia kind of is dumb, but I still and probably forever will, love Jess.
Mallory: Ha, yeah you did tell me that. Sometimes I watch this show and am astounded at the lack of character development in Lorelai. She always has the same responses and behaviors.
me: It's true.
8:06 PM Mallory: Oh, well.
me: Well I think it's true of all of the characters.
They very rarely ever said what they meant.
This show could easily be called "Gilmore Girls and their Lack of Communciation."
Mallory: Yeah.
8:07 PM me: Which is odd, because for two people who can talk so quickly, they very rarely have anything to say.
Mallory: It's all pop culture references and snarky comments, really. But, that is a big part of what makes it such a good show.
8:08 PM me: And how I love it.
8:09 PM Mallory: Me too.
8:10 PM me: Well, it's getting to be the training montage of Kung Fu Panda...which I bought today.
So I'm gonna go.
Enjoy the Girls.
8:11 PM Mallory: thanks
talk to you later
me: bye!
4:25 PM me: PS, just watched the office.
4:26 PM Mallory: And...?
Oh, I totally talked about it with The French Teacher today, it was awesome.
me: yes, the messed up design program jargon bugged, but they can say whatever they want if I can dream of Jim walking toward me with that smile.
Mallory: Amen, sistah!
me: i really, really liked that.
4:27 PM that, and the strut of Darryl was the strut of a free man.
I liked that too.
Mallory: The best thing about the office is that the last 3 minutes are always the most important part of the show!
Yeah, that was awesome. And stupid Ryan regretting getting back with Kelly, haha!
4:28 PM me: Seriously. Ryan is like out of control insane. What is up with that?
Mallory: He's like a sociopath or something. He always wants what he doesn't have.
4:29 PM me: It's very strange.
Mallory: I think that was one of the better episodes so far this season.
4:30 PM me: I agree.
Mallory: And, I am so freaking excited about Toby coming back this week. The Michael/Toby relationship is one of my favorite things.
me: I am too!!
4:32 PM Did you watch 30 Rock? It's making me giggle.
Mallory: Yes, of course, I love that show.
It reminds me of Arrested Development, in that it's kind of random and bizarre but hilarious.
4:33 PM me: I also love that.
Mallory: I thought Jennifer Aniston was pretty good.
4:34 PM me: Yeah. I really do love her. I still sort of hate Angelina Jolie.
Mallory: Yep.
I actually always thought that I like Jennifer Aniston, but I later realized that I actually like Rachel Green, no so much Jennifer Aniston herself.
4:35 PM And now I won't be surprised if she really is pregnant with John Mayer's lovechild.
me: That would be awkward.
Mallory: I don't know. that gossip usually ends up being true.
Whatever.
me: Well, I just read her interview in Vogue.
4:36 PM And it was really vague about them
Mallory: oh yeah?
me: About how they decided "they were at a place where they both knew they needed to go in a different direction from each other"
but how she really really loves him. The
Mallory: and that direction ended up being...back together again
me: They"still talk and adore each other"
4:37 PM but she described her new house that she's remodeling. i want to be her roommate.
Mallory: Really? does it sound awesome?
4:38 PM me: Yeah. It's like a spa. Hold on, let me see if I can find the link.
Mallory: k
4:40 PM Mallory: man, she must never eat or work out constantly, or both
4:42 PM me: yeah she does look pretty amazing.
On Twilight, Lost's fifth season, and J.J.
8:57 AM me: Ah geez: Twilight made Kristen Stewart stupid! or made her turn to some sort of drugs....
Mallory: Gah! Don't get me started on Kristen Stewart. I'm annoyed with her already...
But, this does sound entertaining...
8:58 AM me: Why does she annoy you?
Mallory: 'Cause she so BORING and nothing is interesting enough for her. She can't even pretend that she likes Twilight?
8:59 AM me: hahahaha
Mallory: Everything I"ve seen her on, she's like, "meh. the movie's ok. the fans are ok. blah."
I started writing a blog post about it yesterday, but I don't know if I'll post it or not.
me: I personally think she's on mood stabilizers. or some sort of crazy drug.
Mallory: Seriously. Its like she's totally strung out all the time.
9:00 AM me: It's very apparent on Letterman.. the first question is oddly Palin-esque in the weird evasion of the question.
Unless it cut, to a different moment, and I wasn't aware.
Mallory: Go to today.msnbc.com to watch her on the Today show yesterday. She was fidgity and wouldn't give straight answers...
9:01 AM me: So weird.
Mallory: I think she's uncomfortable with all of it, but she's an actress. She could ACT interested if she was worth her salt.
me: Good point. I think you should post.
9:02 AM This just in!! (I'm assuming you haven't read pop candy.
Mallory: Maybe I will. It makes me even more hesitant about the movie.
I'm just getting to it...
But did you hear about Pushing Daisies?
me: No, is it cancelled?
Mallory: Yeah.
9:03 AM me: Aww!
Mallory: Sorry, go ahead.
me: Do they get to end it?
Mallory: I know, sad.
me: Like, do they get to do the rest of the season?
Mallory: Apparently the final episode has some huge cliffhanger.
me: Ugh
Sad!
Mallory: Yeah
me: Well, my exciting news is the last Early Buzz item.
9:04 AM Mallory: Oh, about Lost?
I saw it another blog already!!
me: I haven't watched the video yet.
Mallory: Ooh.......
You must
| 7 minutes |
9:11 AM me: Hold up!!
9:12 AM Why is Sayid strangling Jack?? And is that a dead/unconscious Sayid laying at the feet of Hurley???
Mallory: I know!!!
me: In the word's of Ack: a;sdklfjladsfjasdfjklasdfl;jsdfjk!!
Mallory: Hahaha!
It's gonna be CRAZY!
9:13 AM me: And, I think Sayid was holding Juliet's hand in a protective way.
9:14 AM Mallory: Sawyer?
me: That's what I meant.
Mallory: Ok
9:15 AM Yeah, I agree
me: Because Sawyer loves Kate (even though she totally doesn't deserve it) with a love that doesn't die.
Mallory: Yes, yes he does.
me: I'm excited for Lost like everyone else is excited for Twilight.
Mallory: Hahaha!
me: I can't wait.
Mallory: I know what you mean.
9:16 AM Uh oh.
I am reading a review of Twilight that contains the following line:
"Bella's contemplative narration takes us into her confidence like a diary"
Oh, wait.
It goes on to say:
9:17 AM "One of the reasons I only liked Meyer's novel rather than loving it was that it felt bogged down by endless descriptions of how beautiful Edward was. Don't get me wrong -- I love hearing about hot 17-year-old boys as much as the next person. But the continual mooning and swooning made me impatient.
In the film, of course, this is mostly eliminated. There is no need to tell us about Edward's beauty when he's right here in front of us and we can see for ourselves (assuming we are not distracted by his tall, disorderly hair, that is)."
In the film, of course, this is mostly eliminated. There is no need to tell us about Edward's beauty when he's right here in front of us and we can see for ourselves (assuming we are not distracted by his tall, disorderly hair, that is)."
me: Hahahaha
whew.
9:18 AM Mallory: Bahaha! Disorderly hair. I think it's worse now than in the movie, though.
me: This
"Bella's contemplative narration takes us into her confidence like a diary"
Made me swear under my breath.
Mallory: Me too.
9:19 AM Okay, I really, really want to chat about Lost and Twilight, but I have to go to a meeting. Let's pick this up later, shall we?
me: Indeed. Because I also want to talk about the next thing to come from J.J.
STAR TREK!!
Mallory: :)
ok
Nov 21, On lots of stuff
3:01 PM Mallory: Okay, so a girl in one of my classes who saw the movie last night says that it is strewn with badly-acted facial expressions.
3:02 PM me: Rock. On.
Mallory: She also said that the parts she expected to be ruined were well done, and the parts she expected to be well done were ruined.
3:03 PM me: Huh. I'm looking forward to seeing it tonight, if only so i can have formed opinions.
What parts were which I wonder.
Mallory: She said the classroom scene wasn't what she expected, but the meadow was better than expected.
So, I will await your synopsis.
me: Hehehe oh, the meadow. The meadow! I forgot....
3:04 PM I will look forward to giving it to you.
You know, this is the first time in a long time that I won't be in Provo this weekend.. I don't know what to do with myself!
Mallory: Hahaha!
You could...come to Provo.
3:05 PM me: But I will in be in Lehi on Friday and Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend.
We should perhaps have a Gilmore Girls marathon whilst decopaging bracelets.
Mallory: Ooh...I love that idea!
3:06 PM me: Or you know (Insert TV Show Here)
My roommie has Lost, I have Alias
Mallory: :)
Have you seen any Psych yet?
me: I've watched eps here and there
3:07 PM Mallory: That's another option. Or House. Or we could rent some HIMYM. The possibilities are endless, really.
3:08 PM me: It's true.
I love the holidays!!
3:09 PM Mallory: As of 1:30 on Tuesday afternoon I will be free until the following Monday! Yipee! Thank you, French teacher, for cancelling Tuesday's class.
3:10 PM me: Aw, I remember one fall semester when I had an entire week off. Something about Monday being a Friday schedule, when I didn't have Friday classes and Tuesday being cancelled. It was the Thanksgiving dreams were made of.
Mallory: Ooh, sounds wonderful.
3:11 PM me: Rumor is they let us off early on Wednesday. I hope its true.
Mallory: Nice.
For your sake, I hope its true too.
3:12 PM me: It's really funny... There have been company-wide emails going around about the rivalry game tomorrow.
Mallory: Geez, really?
me: One of which was pretty reminiscent if Michael and Packer in the Sexual Harassment ep of the Office.
3:13 PM I have no idea what anyone will talk about on Tuesday.
Mallory: Hahaha! Wow.
3:14 PM Oh my gosh! The Arrested Development movie is happening! http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/watch_with_kristin/b70046_inside_scoop_on_arrested_movie_deal.html?sid=rss_kristin&utm_source=eonline&utm_medium=rssfeeds&utm_campaign=rss_kristin
I am giddy with joy and can only hope that it is not rated R, even though it probably will be.
3:15 PM Ooh, except for that pesky Michael Sera. He'd better be in it!
3:17 PM me: Oh silly Michael Cera.
3:18 PM He needs a talking to from Steve about not biting the hand that feeds him.
*steve carrell
Mallory: So true. Also, did you hear the name of Ashley Simpson and Pete Wentz's baby?
me: He would be NOTHING with out Arrested Development.
No I didn't.
3:19 PM Mallory: YOU ARE SO RIGHT! No one would care aobut Michael Cera without George Michael Bluth. And seriously, it's like, what, 2 months of work out of his life? He needs to just do it.
Okay, prepare yourself....
Bronx Mowgli Wentz.
3:20 PM me: Shut your mouth.
That is the worst name ever.
Ever!!
Mallory: Not only is that kid named after a jungle child, he's got w, x, and z in his name.
I could get on board with Bronx, but Mowgli? What the what?!
| 24 minutes |
3:45 PM me: No kid should have such obscure letters in his name.
3:47 PM Mallory: I know. I wonder what prompted them to go with "Mowgli". I imagine that "Bronx" is an attempt to be hip and trendy, à la the Pitt-Jolie kids with their x- and q- and v- laden names, but, I mean, everyone knows the Mowgli is from the Jungle Book. It's not like you could pass it off as some foreign word or something.
| 5 minutes |
3:53 PM me: Heavens.
3:57 PM And Bronx? It has such a negative connotation.
Mallory: Yeah
me: I mean, Bronx...a neighborhood you don't want to live in.
3:58 PM Mallory: Right
Poor kid.
| 28 minutes |
4:27 PM Mallory: Ok, I just blogged about how lame Kristen Stewart is.
| 5 minutes |
4:32 PM me: Ok, I just commented on your blog about how lame Kristen Stewart is.
Mallory: haha
4:34 PM And I responded to your comment about how lame Kristen Stewart is.
I seriously can't believe I've devoted so much conversation and thought to Twilight. It makes me feel kinda vomit-y.
4:35 PM me: Probably one of my favorite things about you and me is that we communicate over what, a half dozen means of communication and we always have things to say.
4:36 PM Mallory: Aww, you're so right! We do love our words.
me: And somehow each conversation is independent of the other!
4:37 PM Mallory: I know. It's the wonder of the Internet combined with the wonder of TV and poorly written books.
me: That, and I think we're geniuses.
Mallory: It provides fertile grounds for our genius-like tendencies to grow.
me: Indeed.
4:38 PM Mallory: So, everyone in my office (except me) is playing Halo, and I'm blogging at work, so obviously it's a busy day here.
4:43 PM me: Hahaha
It is super stressful here.
We have a crazy boss who is anti-printing
4:44 PM He's the owner of the company and he doesn't like the benefits department, which, near as I can tell, is responsible for most of the revenue of our company.
But he likes to yell at us for random silly things.
4:45 PM Mallory: That's lame.
me: He's really the epitome of a lame manager.
Mallory: (Side note, there might be an available showing of the movie at 11:30 in Am. Fork. Hmmm...)
me: Hmmmm
I'm seeing it at 11:15.
4:46 PM Would you like me to see if there is an additional ticket in our time next to us?
Mallory: I have a ward activity tonight, so I don't think I'd make it up there.
me: Oh..
4:47 PM Because, the joy of reserved seats is not having to stand in line with crazies...
Mallory: Oh that is pretty awesome.
4:48 PM me: Aww, just looked.
There are only front row seats left.
Mallory: Oh, another thing the girl in my class said is that there are a lot of closeups.
4:49 PM Front row seats made me think of that.
for some reason
4:51 PM me: Holy crap. Having Kristen Stewart's Mouth be 6 Feet Big as she says "VAMPIRE" would be nightmare enducing.
4:52 PM Also, excellent use of the use Frack in your blog.
4:54 PM Mallory: Haha, thanks.
4:58 PM Ok, I'm off. I anxiously await your movie review. It looks like the Provo crowd might not be up for it tonight, so I might not go.
4:59 PM But there are matinees tomorrow, so I might do that instead.
me: Well I hope you get to see it soon. And maybe, when it hits the dollar theater we'll see it together.
Because heaven knows I'm not paying full price for this thing twice.
Mallory: Yeah, we will!
5:00 PM me: Have a lovely weekend!
Mallory: Thanks, you too!
Dec 9, On Flight of the Conchords, Lost, and Panic at the Disco
10:50 AM me: Please make a Hihopopotamus vs Rhymenoceros video.
10:51 AM Mallory: Hahaha!
I don't think I would even be able to sing it.
me: have you seen that on pop candy?
Mallory: I saw it somewhere else a few days ago. I think on Facebook or something.
10:52 AM me: hahaha i live the site
10:53 AM *love
10:54 AM Mallory: :)
10:55 AM Haha, I love Mel. I haven't actually watched these videos yet.
10:56 AM me: It's pretty awesome.
10:57 AM Mallory: I am super excited about the season premiere being online next week.
10:58 AM me: It will be a good day.
10:59 AM But do you know what I'm even more excited for? Jan 21.
Mallory: Uh, yeah, that goes without saying.
me: Like, I get really, really excited for it.
Mallory: Hahaha
I know what you mean.
11:00 AM It's gonna be crazy. And awesome. And crazy awesome.
me: I mean, the more I think of them going back in time, I realize, why didn't I think of that??
When does Season 4 come out?
Mallory: I think today. maybe...?
11:01 AM me: Because I saw a few of the extra features from pop candy, and they don't let down, that's for sure.
Mallory: Oh, I just watched "The Constant" again over the weekend, and was reminded of how amazing it is.
me: That one seriously blew my mind.
Mallory: I know. Insanity.
me: I thought I was going to bleed out my eyes, too
11:02 AM Whew. I think I might have to start over again...
Just to get extra excited.
Mallory: From the beginning? Or season 4?
me: Hmm, I don't know.
11:03 AM I would say just season 4, but I don't know, there's so many new things to catch every time I watch!
Mallory: I don't know if I'd have the willpower to start again from the beginning. I mean, it was really intense the first time.
11:04 AM me: Hahaha
11:05 AM Oh, I'm so excited to see your reaction to week to week watching.
11:06 AM Mallory: Hahaha, yeah. I don't know how I'll do.
| 20 minutes |
11:26 AM me: Also, I loved those alternate versions of Panic
11:27 AM Mallory: Oh, good! They're pretty nice, aren't they?
me: I do enjoy them.
I tell you what if they ever did like a really mushy ballad, I don't know what I would do with myself.
11:28 AM Mallory: Haha! I know. Just imagine adorable little Brendon singing a mushy ballad...
me: I know!!
