nothing + everything

Hey everyone!


I wanted to let you know that I have a new project called "Noses in Books" where I interview strangers I come across in public who happen to be reading! I spot them, ask them about their book, and the conversation spirals into a mini sociological/anthropological investigation of that person. :-) I find out interesting tidbits about them, to say the least

Yogurt cups turned toothbrushes

Smokers fascinate me! Everytime I see one I always wonder...

I've moved here. Weird, I know. 7 or so years with LJ and I'm up and leaving. For convenience sake. It's better this way.


This will still be around just tucked away.

Adieu my peas...

Green Du Jour is in full effect. I started posting on my green blog so check it out! Anyone want to help me gussy it up? Pretty plain jane right now.

Did you watch Quarterlife on NBC last night? I had been anticipating the premiere for days! I even endured parts of The Biggest Loser so that I wouldn't miss a beat! When I heard about the show I thought, "Yes! Finally! A new show that speaks to ME! For my generation! I will relate to their storylines and characters. I will be moved! It will be like watching Reality Bites when I was in college, just like that!"

To quote Cezie from our AIM conversation earlier: i HATE quarterlife with a fucking PASSION

He had been watching it online for a bit so his pain runs deeper while I am just disappointed. It was just another damn CW-like teeny melodrama and pretty much made for the younger demo leading them into thinking our quarterlife moments are just like that. I seriously believed it would delve into actually feeling lost at my age. I had a quarterlife breakdown a little while ago and so did my friends and the episode didn't even remotely touch on it! It didn't even make me feel like there would be a hint of it later on!

Girl vlogs about her friends, her life, her woes. Boo hoo, boy she likes is in love with someone else. Boo hoo, someone's boyfriend may not be as interested in her as she is with him. Boo hoo the actress of the bunch is weak sauce. Give me a break! And her job woes? Almost had it but then it had to dive into the "she stole my idea" cliche. Ugh! Might as well maybe this another Gossip Girl.

I will say that the only thing I am kind of remotely interested in is the show's website. Quarterlife.com

Check it out. From my point of view it actually made me cream! I studied it for a bit today (in the midst of looking for an image to post on here) and saw that they took a social networky theme. They even have the characters (in character) vlog! Their profile pages ooze of MySpace profile-dom. They even have a community for fans who can build their own profile pages and add photos and their own vlogs if they want. They even enlish iMeem for music playlists! I get to see what "Jed" is listening to. I get to see Dylan's vlogs that were on the show and then some! This is like what we did for Chuck and Bionic but more! Now to see if they will actually keep their profiles active for a while. That would be cool!

I may have lost faith in the show but I'm gonna put my chips on the site for the geek-out factor.

I don't really like very much TV nowadays (I don't have cable so I also don't watch much unless IU Netflix shows on DVD) but I must say that FX's "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" is a show I actually enjoy (not as much as my current obsession, "Big Love" but it's good in my book). So I'm driving down Sunset to meet Marina for dinner last night when I'm at a stoplight and look over at the SUV next to me. That girl looks like Sweet Dee... I didn't really think much of it but then I thought how cool it would be to see Rob in the driver's seat since they live in LA and are engaged. I look. Whaam. It's him. Normally I don't get too excited when I see celebs. It's LA. We're a weird town. But I got excited here. Not as excited as if I ran into Larry David or anyone from Veronica Mars but my ears perked up. (It's funny how I run into Adrian Grenier and smile but see VM cast members at shows or eateries/bars and I die. Just DIE! Yeah, that's it.

In other news, I am starting a new blog. Not getting rid of this one, though. Just wanted to have my own green blog but hesitated. Now I'm just going to do it. You'll hear more soon enough. I might ask one of you to help me make it all snazzy and whatnot.

Behind me ABBA's "Fernando" starts playing. Why? My co-worker was trying out a new site called Songza (http://www.songza.com) where you just type in any song and it pulls it up for you! You can even watch the video if it exists or buy the song. I just typed in MOOK (Paul Dano's band I've been listening to alot lately) and voila! It pulled up anything with "mook" in it and I clicked on A Live from Philly set and now I am listening to their gig audio. Pretty awesome since I don't think I will see them live anytime soon.

Check it out. Pretty fun. Now I gotta think of some obscure stuff. Any throwback suggestions to bring me down memory lane? I'm looking at you, Cezie...

Another fabulous video directed by Brian Lerner. 'Tis Jarrod from The Honorary Title and his Valentine's songs. That boy makes me laugh.

Polaroid is closing down their instant film factories (they've already stopped making their instant cameras for the past 2 years) and focusing on portable printer for images from cell phones and Polaroid-branded digital cameras, televisions and DVD players. Digital Digital Digital!

No more waving that film around. Man, gotta stock up for now. Gotta tell BBW since he is a Polaroid camera buff.
