William Tell style

I love this man. That is all :)

Jeff

So a couple of months ago I found out that Jeff Dunham was going to be on tour and there was gonna be a show close to here and I bought the tickets. I'd been waiting for months to go and I was seriously excited and seriously looking forward to it.

I finally went Thursday night and it was AWESOME. As usual he had a bit of stand up at the beginning just himself, then Walter, then Achmed then Peanut and Jose and then a new character too.

In the opening he talked a bit about his daughters and about looking like a pervert in Miley Cyrus concert. I laughed my butt off. Walter was my definite favorite of the night. All of Jose's jokes were from previous shows and some of Peanut's and Achmed's jokes I had heard before too.

Walter was all new material and the only joke he repeated was the one of what he says as a greeter in Walmart. I'm pretty sure Walter is the easiest character for him to write for, not to mention the easiest to improvise with. He was hilarious and made fun of Jeff to death over his divorce. It was clever and very funny.

"What's it like not being married? I bet it's amazing doing what you want. Not having to put the toilet seat down. I'd hot glue it up, that's what I'd do. I'd crap in the backyard just because I can. Just me and the dog."

"We're in London and this black guy starts talking to me. I don't know what else to call him. He's not african american." *looks at Jeff frown* "You didn't think that one through, did you? Is he african british?"

He also teased about Amsterdam, about Jeff's younger girlfriend, more about the divorce and I'm pretty sure there was not a joke that didn't make me laugh.

Achmed was going on about being an actor and it was pretty damn funny too and Peanut was as ADD as always and quite funny as well. It was a damn good and funny show and even if I was pretty far, it was worth the money I spent for the tickets and I'd gladly do it again. I really can't wait for his next special to come out in DVD.

After the show was over he took out a t-shirt gun and starting shooting t-shirts but decided that didn't reach far enough so they brought him a bigger one. That one wasn't enough either and they brought him a freaking t-shirt bazooka. He reached all the way to the other side of the stadium.

"So, these shirts are packed tight and we don'r have insurance so if this is coming your way either duck or catch it or put someone else on the way."

While we waited for the show to start they had a fun slideshow with quotes from Walter, some trivia, like Peanut is the only doll he hasn't built himself and the fact that his hobbie is building freaking helicopters. Yup, you read that right: HELICOPTERS.

Enjoy the awesome:

A Thousand Suns

So... for a while now my fan girl corner has been occupied by the fact that I'm going to see Jeff Dunham on July 15th. It's less than a week and I'm so excited because I love him and I heard him on the radio and he said he has a new character and everything and he's so awesome and I can't wait!

But yeah, it's been there a while and I thought I'd change it if Roger won Wimbledon but that didn't happen, or if Germany won the WC which didn't happen either, but I finally have a reason to change it!

Linkin Park's new album is coming out on September 14th, it's called A Thousand Suns and the first single is called The Catalyst which will be out August 2nd!

I know I haven't been too loving with the band, stopped listening to them for a while, hating on DBS, etc... but they've slowly started making their way into my playlist again and I finally listened to Blackbirds the other day, and worked on the Shinoda Land layout so I was starting to feel the love for them again when the announcement came out so I'm excited! I can't wait to see what they come up with this time. So... for the fan girl corner I'm gonna use this photo of Mike that they're using in the new look of linkinpark.com (they have one for each band member, they look kinda cool actually. Except Rob's. Looks terrible). August 2nd, get here quick!

I think it's normal too, to stop feeling so passionate about things, specially bands. You start listening to other things and sometimes your tastes even change a bit and where you are doesn't fit the music.

I'm the type of person that has to be in a certain mood to listen to certain types of music and when you're completely in love with a band you can listen to it no matter what mood you're on but that love can change sometimes and I think that's normal and a bit healthy.

It didn't mean that I stopped loving LP, it just meant that I didn't love them as much. I still kept up with Mike, and if the mood felt right, I still listened to them... but it feels good to be getting that love back for them. (Though I still refuse to listen to DBS, lol.)

Shopping cart

So, I love buying stuff. And I like buying stuff related to things I'm a fan of even more. However, I'm a college student and I'm saving up for when I go to Venezuela in the summer, so there's a couple of stuff that I want but can't buy just yet and I'm hoping to buy soon. Maybe I wanna share, maybe I wanna keep the links handy for when I'm gonna buy, lol. Most of these are shirt just because I love shirts, lol.

First up is this Roger hat. I've been wanting one for ages, and I actually like the red one but that one's more expensive and I can wear this one with different clothes, and light colors are better for hats when you're playing tennis.

Next up this Futurama shirt. I already have a Futurama shirt but this one is more of a specific reference to something on the show itself, since that's the name of the space delivery service. Also, the new season is coming up and I'm really excited about it.

I could also go for this Bender one, I guess I'll have to wait until I have the money and decide.

Now this next one I found just now as I was saving the pictures for the others and I MUST HAVE IT. I'm sorry... but I used to love Sonic as a kid and he brings some good memories. I now have the opening song as my ringtone and I've been searching for a shirt I loved and this is it!

I also want the Bones season 5 DVD because there are a bunch of episodes I wanna definitely watch again from this season, and I wanna just have all of them :)

Bones 100th episode

So... last night wad the 100th episode of Bones. I had heard that it was gonna be a look at the first case Booth and Bones worked together before the pilot, but I wasn't sure what to expect. What I got was what I consider the best episode of the show so far. This a re-cap with comments pretty much, so of course... there are spoilers.

It all started with the books Sweets is wrote about Booth and Bones in which he came to the conclusion that they were in love and that's why they worked so well. But he had a major factual error that of Bones of course had to point out. They had a case before what he believes was their first case working together and this of course means a flashback.

The case was interesting, but as it happens a lot of the times with Bones, the character interaction was much more interesting. We got to see Zach again and remember how clueless he and Bones used to be about anything not science related, how Angela started working with them, how Hodgings and Zach's experiments started out... and how Booth and Bones have been hot for each other since they first met. She asked him if he was seeing anyone, he said he'd ask her out if he could, she said it was a shame he couldn't. He had to fire her and got drunk to do so and they kissed under the rain. Sweets' reactions and expression at this whole story were priceless and I think they represented the viewer amazingly well.
So they kissed, but Bones decided not to go home with him because they were drunk. They solve the case but they fight, she slaps him and storms away saying she'll never work with him again. Sweets says they missed their moment and have been punishing each other for it.

Then comes the best part of the episode. Booth's face when Bones tells Sweets "We're not in love with each other," said it all without words, pretty much, he's in love with her. Sweets says that one of them has to be the one to give in and that it has to be Booth because he's the gambler. Seeing that scene and that silence... you almost believed for a second that he was gonna do it but he just suggests food.

Before I could get frustrated, though... they're outside and this happens:
(I had a description but I think it's better to see it).



You know she's just scared and would rather have him as a partner always there than risk him not loving her in the future. You know he knows this and despite being more than hurt that she rejected him, he'll stick with her because he loves her. It's the same, but it's different at the same time. She's made a lot of progress over the season, becoming less cold, more human but she's never been as close to anyone as she is to Booth and that is a scary thought for her. I think this shows she's getting closer though. When you see the tears in her eyes and almost breaking down as she feared he was gonna say they couldn't work together, you can tell.

Some people hated this but I loved it. It felt sincere, it felt natural, it made sense and it wasn't forced. You can see the thinking behind it even if you wanna tell her to get over it already. It didn't feel like they're just stalling to get people to watch or to get more episodes in, it felt like it's not meant to be yet, but it will be.

This was brilliantly written, and the actors did an amazing job at portraying it. David did an amazing job directing and the whole thing just made me want to watch all the old episodes again, as well as be even more excited about the ones to come. This is why this is my favorite show. I'm gonna go watch the pilot now :)

Edited to add:

I watched the pilot and another few episodes again, and I'm loving this episode even more now. This fits with who Booth and Bones are. He's brave and would do anything for her, she's analytical and won't make a decision unless she has all the facts. I've also remembered moments on the series that fit with this episode, such as that Christmas kiss, it's awesome.
I think it was very brave to have this scene and have all that had gone unspoken for such a long time to come up to the surface, risking the chemistry and a huge part of the show, and I think they did it brilliantly. They gave us what we wanted and didn't do anything that would damage what they have like we were afraid of.

Student Representative

I'm so excited! I got chosen to be a student representative on a committee at school called The Teaching and Learning Technologies Advisory Committee. Pretty much I go to 3 meetings during the semester and discuss a bunch of things about technology on the teaching and learning environment and stuff like that. Doesn't that sound super geeky? And super awesome for me, lol!

I think it's a great opportunity and I'm super proud that I got invited, (thanks to a great recommendation from my amazing boss) and I'm feeling very good about myself for this. I usually think twice about singing on to anything because of how busy I am, but as soon as I saw this, I got excited about it and very interested in it. It's a gonna be a great experience, a great addition to my resume and a great chance for networking.

It's also very cool that I got a letter signed by the provost and the CIO, (Chief Information Officer who is the head of the information technology division which is the position I'll hopefully have one day somewhere, lol!)

Go me! :)

I couldn't stop myself.

This is a must watch. I can't say how hard I laughed at this. The best part starts around 3 minutes and later, lol.

So, I'm sure you probably heard someone threw a shoe at Bush in Iraq. Well, two actually:



And that's just freaking priceless. But even more so, the gifs I found on Best Week Ever.
This thing has made me laugh the last several minutes:

Barack your world

Just when I think Mr. Shinoda can't surprise me anymore, and that I couldn't possibly find something else that I love... he does this:




And I love him just a little more. You rock, Michael.

Edit: btw, is a lot more funny if you click on 'More Info' on the right and read the lyrics,

"Baby, if you were my Iraq, I'd never pull out if you know what I mean..."

Oh lord.

Can I take a moment to just bask in the awesomeness that is this photo?

I'm speechless at how amazing I think this is. I need more pictures of this, Mike! Oh god, this made my day.

"Do we have to start caring about soccer?"

Colbert, will you marry me?

Kid in a candy store!

Okay, let my start off by saying that that getty logo is freaking evil! That was a beautiful picture and they had to go and ruin it with a watermark! That was last night at the opening of Glorious Excess (Born).
Anyway... a good friend of mine, (she's a LP fan as much as me...) told me a couple of weeks ago that she'd be going to LA to visit her cousin and that she's be attending Mike's show last night. I was stoked for her, (and a little jealous...) and it got even better when she told me she'd get me even a program from the show.
Well turns out she got me a book -and- she got him to sign it for me! How awesome is that?! My jaw dropped when I saw the post on my wall today. The terrible mood I've been in for the past few days just escaped my mind in a matter of seconds. As you can imagine, in feeling all sorts of love for her right now. I can't wait until she gets home and tells me all about it and I can't wait for -me- to get home and get my super awesome book!

Cheering up when I needed it...

This video made me laugh so hard, I can't remember when something made me laugh like this... I love Stephen, the man is brilliant, and well, come on:

"If you will, just keep your legs crossed." Michael Stipe.

You just don't get that everyday.

Awesomeness

So today started pretty normal. I was in a terrible mood because I got soaked walking around campus, and I have this really annoying cough... but I finally got everything done with my job and I start tomorrow. Then there was this wind-warning thing and the electricity went off like 20 times, the wind was a bit scary.

I was about to post my fic on Mickey's new forum but I really didn't have a title. I'm thinking "Waiting for you" but I haven't made up my mind yet... And I'm a Mod-uh-ray-tor which I find to be very cool.

BUT the most amazing part of my day was getting the mail. Turns out I won the freaking auction on the LPST and I won a autographed poster! I actually own a poster signed by freaking LP. How awesome is that?! Right now is put away safely until a find a cool frame to put it own and I'll post some pics. It's this pic:


with the details of the MTM release. It's funny 'cause Dave signed over the black part and you can barely see his signature. My mom was here when I opened it and she was like 'that's cute' and I was like 'did you see that it's signed?' and her jaw just dropped. Then there was a tornado warning and whatnot and you're supposed to go to the 'safe room' of the house and she was like 'grab your poster!' just hilarious.
My dad saw it and he was like 'that's cool' and I was like, 'it's autographed' he looked at it and he was like 'wow, it's real you can see the marker, it's not printed or anything!' and I just had the biggest smile on my face.

This weekend I'll probably change my layout and my banner, I'm in need for a change.
