my moral standing is lying down

Are you guys watching the Headstones facebook page? They asked for suggestions for a setlist because they're thinking of playing some shows in December/January. LAJSFLJSALFDJSALFDJSLJFLSJDF I HOPE THEY PLAY NYC. THAT WOULD BE FUCKING AMAZING.

I think it's great, EVERYONE is suggesting Tweeter and the Monkey Man and Son of a Bitch to the Core and some other faves of mine (Unsound, Supersmart, Smile and Wave).

This is what Hugh had to say:

Unfortunately, I did not find Fraser or either Rays wandering around. I tried to go to the Canadian Consulate, but this resulted in epic fail that wasn't even realized until I got back and looked up the address again. We were around the corner from it at 180 Randolph Avenue instead of 180 N Stetson Ave. (AND OMG, WHY IS THE CANADIAN CONSULATE ON A STREET NAMED AFTER A HAT?!) So, it's actually the building directly behind the one I thought it was. SIGH. WHATEVER. YOU'RE STILL GOING TO GET MY NOW-POINTLESS PICTURES.

( pic spam? )

And BONUS PHOTO: Juliet and I took the bus over to United Center and walked around the area (pretty much deserted except for a high school gym class running laps!), but abruptly came across this street! I was like, OMG I SHOULD FOLLOW THIS UNTIL I COME ACROSS THE BURNT REMAINS OF FRASER'S OLD BUILDING. Instead, I just took the picture. Lame, I know.

ETA: I really feel like Chicago is more like NYC than any other major US city (that I've been to). And I suppose, knowing that Chicago is the 3rd largest city in the US (with almost 3 million), I guess it makes sense.

Only Los Angeles (almost 4 million) and NYC (almost 9 million) are larger!

finished watching season 3 of slings & arrows about half an hour ago and had the strongest and most random urge to watch hard core logo again. and since I recently bought the DVD for like $6.50 from barnes and noble, I didn't even have to turn on my computer!

i started watching the hcl DVD and christ! the color is sooooo much better!!! I'm fucking DYING -- it's like a whole new fucking movie OMFG!!! \m/

I am actually able to see some details I haven't been able to previously, which is really just brilliant. so yeah, if you were wondering whether it's worth it to buy the DVD when it's just as easily accessible on your laptop? it is.

JFC, REALLY. I DON'T THINK I CAN TAKE THIS MOVIE BEING ANY BETTER THAN IT ALREADY WAS.


additional post probably tomorrow about s&a season 3.

SHATTERED! -- as if in reply to the complaint made in my previous post!

Finally! A clip from the final version of the show, rather than the original pilot. Looks way sleeker than the original pilot and way more intense! (Though unfortunately no sexy!twisty!Callum in a hoodie with a camera. Guh, that scene was just so hot. Though I don't mind the exchange for sexy!intense!Callum...)

CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS SHOW OMG GIVE ME IT NOWWWWW PLS!




BTW, HELLYEAH concert last night was fucking amazing -- met a bunch of crazy and awesome people from CT, NJ, and upstate NY, including a DJ from Sirius (and with all of whom contact info was exchanged); drank too much; discovered that the opening band (Black Water Rising) is AWESOME, and from Brooklyn; made poor life choices; got home too late (3am) and most unfortunately, was not able to sleep through my hangover as I usually do, so had a craptastic morning at work.

Leaving for the Hole concert in another hour. Don't have as much energy as last night, but I care less about Hole, so I'm good.

just finished season one of slings & arrows. oh god, it is absolutely the most amazingly funny stuff!

I absolutely DIED watching that scene where Geoffrey is being interviewed by basil... AND Oliver. I had to pause it, rewind it, and replay it like, a million times! I just couldn't stop laughing so hard I couldn't hear what they were actually saying.

even though it's 4am and having just finished season 1, this is a good place to stop-- I want to watch more so badly!!! my mind is still twitching and giggling over the ridiculousness of it.

also, what is Paul gross's prediliction for dead mentors that come back to haunt him and are absolutely hilarious and possessed of wicked senses of humor?

I love love LOVE seeing PG play a (slightly) crazy person. he just does WEIRD so darn well!

Geoffrey is a fascinating character and I can't wait to see what sort of mischief he gets up to -- and what sort of brilliance he inspires -- in seasons 2 and 3.

SO excited, in fact, that I don't want to even close the tab where I have this article about it opened in my browser.

SO excited, in fact, that I have watched this trailer MORE TIMES THAN WAS STRICTLY NECESSARY. (Necessary to what, you may ask. But I shall not answer.)

The now-obsolete (as the show has apparently gone through a few changes since this was made) trailer for CKR's new TV show, Shattered, which is supposed to air this fall. Fall is WAYYYY too far away though! I have to wait til the fall for HOCKEY ALREADY OKAY! AND NOW THIS! A show in which CKR is FINALLY THE MAIN CHARACTER. I'd say that I should be glad I wasn't in C6D fandom til recently, because I didn't have to suffer the agony of the wait. But I must admit that I like the anticip

OH MY GOD. This show is SO FUCKED UP. It's so FUCKING AMAZING.

Mike I love you so much. Oh Sadie. <3 Please don't go crazy.

3-day weekend started with a snow day on Friday: I was still lazing in bed, convincing myself that it would be okay if I got in late to work because of the snow, when Danielle texted me that the office would be closed! Of course, this woke me up enough that I never went back to sleep. Ended up in the city to watch the semi-final games (Olympics, hockey) -- both of which were mostly boring (one-sided) games. But the company was excellent, as well as the food and drink... and karaoke?

Saturday was equally as enjoyable, though mostly spent at home. Finished watching Twitch City -- while I am usually disinclined to watch sitcoms, this is really a cut above the usual. I know I said that in my last post, but it's so true. There's actually a pretty linear story, and maybe it's the fact that it's only 13 episodes long, but it doesn't get old. More sitcoms should keep that in mind. I absolutely loved loved loved the "Planet of the Cats" episode. SO GOOD.

Also watched Miracle, you know about the 1980 US Olympic hockey team, who won the gold, coached by Herb Brooks. Great movie, and the game scenes made me wish I was actually watching a game rather than a movie -- so -- well done, I'd say. It got me all pumped up for the final game, but I'd have to wait until the next day for that...

And so yes, sigh, Canada won.

I'm sad and pissed whenever I think about it. (Truthfully I pretty much couldn't care less about the medals themselves -- I just wanted to win.) But it was a great game. Both teams worked hard, for 60 minutes, to get to the final 3-2 score in OT. If we didn't win, at least it wasn't a one-sided game where we gave up before the end. I mean, a tie with 25 seconds left? -- it was the most exhilarating feeling!!

I had an amazing time at the bar with awesome hockey friends (and decided on future tattoo plans YAYE MORE STARS~!), and went to Avery's bar after, to console ourselves over the loss. Which is where I got to meet BRANDON PRUST (a recent trade acquisition for NYR), who is really nice and OMG WHY IS HE EVEN CUTER IN PERSON?!

For posterity, I shall record that I made Caty come with me as I tapped him on the shoulder to ask for his autograph. He said sure... to which I (dumbly) was like, "Uh, but I don't have a sharpie..." So he asked one of the bus boys to get him a sharpie! Meanwhile, (to kill time?) he introduced himself, "Hi, I'm Brandon Prust." And then -- again, dumbly -- I stared for a second, thinking "Uh... I know that...", and then gathered my wits enough to say "Oh! Hi! I'm Sara!" Shook his hand and grinned like the idiot I am. The sharpie arrived (thank god) and even though it was blue, and I had on a blue rangers shirt, and he hesitated, I said to go for it anyway, and he signed my chest! YAYYYYY! I then skipped back to my table. Still grinning and 'hee'ing like a fucking moron.

I'm not even exaggerating. I'm even more horribly tongue-tied around people I like/admire. WTF.

Later I thought to myself, "GOD, SARA! COULDN'T YOU HAVE THOUGHT OF SOMETHING EVEN REMOTELY COHERENT, LIKE 'Good luck in Ottawa on Tuesday!' OR SOMETHING?!" I'm going to remember this (and hopefully insert the correct city and day) if I'm in this situation again. And I should apparently just always have a sharpie upon my person.

WHY AM I SUCH AN IDIOT?!

So yes, finally downloaded Battlestar Galactica. So far have seen the 2003 miniseries, and the first two episodes of the first season. LOVED the miniseries. As I've been flitting about the C6D fandom, I knew that CKR was in BSG, but I didn't realize he was in it from the beginning! So when he showed up in the miniseries/pilot/whatever it is, I DIED! Actually, what I did was abruptly throw my hands up in the air and squeee quite loudly.

As I was watching this with Judy, she gave me a look -- you know, like, a WTF-is-wrong-with-you? sort of look.

But I was too happy to have gotten an immediate fix of CKR to be brought down by her scorn! ^_~

I mean, it's not like CKR is the only thing BSG has going for it, of course -- but it helps.

So I've also gone through a couple of other CKR and HD films --

( you have not yet SEEN the extent of my problem. but you will. oh, you will. )

And I've got more waiting for me: BSG, Twitch City (13 eps), Curtis's Charm (movie), Durham County (s2/6eps), Californication (s3/12eps).

And here I am listening to the audio track of Hard Core Logo once again. I can't imagine the day I'd ever get tired of it.
