rainy day thoughts

1.  if you need a rainy day playlist, check out mine. (why did it take me so long to learn about jeremy messermith? if i had learned about him back in MN, than i could've gone to his concerts.  ah, life!)

2. it's BACK.  yes, radiant readers, the crazy tyra is back and hosting a brand new cycle of ANTM!  yes.  i love this show.  it's a guilty pleasure of mine.  a REALLY guilty pleasure.  but i just love it. 
last cycle was probably my favorite, but just because my favorite girl FINALLY won. * spoiler alert*  yes, nicole fox won.  isn't she stunning (pic to the right)?  well, this cycle is getting a little boring. i don't really know if i really like any of the girls... tyra is just as crazy as ever, though.  somethings never change, and i take comfort in that.  still, i hope these girls step it up.  honestly.  oh, and i am so over the drama!  last cycle there was very little drama, but this cycle, holy cow!  they just let it all go.

3.  i like the sound of rain on my windows.  it's very peaceful.

well, that's all for now.

World vs. Mr. Rogers

If you dear readers are like me, you grew up watching Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. I think everyone who watched that program took something. I took away how he had an outdoor sweater and an indoor one, and he always hung them up. My friend Darrik told me that he was influenced by the way Mr. Rogers always put away his shoes. I'm sure you all have similar impressions.
Mr. Rogers was a great man, and he tried so hard to teach us children to love ourselves. He ended each show with a sweet message: "I like you, just the way you are." Below is a video that compares Mr. Rogers to the world. I hope it makes you think.



I wear makeup. 'Tis true. I worry about if people will like the clothes I buy. I worry about if guys will think my eyelashes are long enough. (why would they care? i don't know, but i still worry about it.) The point that I am wanting to get across is that you should like you, no matter what.
Dear Future Children- you will grow up watching Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood [if i can find it on DVD]. x leslie
These are lessons that I want burned into my children's minds.

here's a last video of Mr. Rogers. i dare you NOT to tear up.

Watching this makes me laugh.

ha ha ha!

Bone Deep

Have you guys watched Bones? Are you currently watching it? I am, and I LOVE it. They finally have a show out with a strong, smart, and independent female who isn't over-the-top and, well, witchy- Dr. Temperance Brennen. The way she gets away with it, is she's a science nerd, and well, endearing. She really grows on you. FBI Agent Booth, her partner in solving crime, is a great "all american" boy who is just great.

When I watched this past weeks episode, "The Dwarf in the Dirt," and it made me very happy. I smiled the rest of the day.

(I'm trying to upload my photos from Remembrance day, but my iPhoto is being STUPID. Sorry. If you want to see photos from my Chartres trip, look on my flickr page.)

Replacements

Alright, if you've talked with me, you know i'm a little disappointed with how the Office is development. So, i've been looking for a show that can make me just as happy as the Office.

I've come up with a few options:

A: Better Off Ted
B: How I Met Your Mother

But the one that I love more than even those two is COMMUNITY! It has the Russo brothers as its directors; if you like Arrested Development you will recognize them as directors from that great show, as well. Oh, did I mention it has Chevy Chase? Or Joel McHale (the host from the soup)? Oh, well, it does.

Here's the preview by NBC:


Here's a fanmade video to wet your appetite:


And here's a clip that always makes me laugh:


And honestly, WATCH THE SHOW! You won't regret it.

Time to Say Goodbye.

First of all, I love the Office. I do. It makes me laugh out loud EVERY time I watch it.

But... all good things must come to an end, or they get dragged out for years and years, and before long, you're looking at a new "Friends." Perhaps, it's time for the Office to bid adieu.

Jim and Pam have taken over the show. It's all about them. I love them, and I always wanted them to be together, but still... it used to be Michael's an idiot, Dwight's a suck up, and Jim plays pranks on him. That's the Office I loved. Now, I don't know. It's different.

I want more of Creed. I love Creed. Season 3 was so fun, cause you really saw the very bizarre side of Creed.

So, the Office is still good, but soon it won't be so good. They should think about stopping after one more season. End while you're burning, don't sizzle off.

What do you thing?

Why Me?

Ugh, the shows that I like get horrible ratings and get cut. The worst part is that the scripts aren't released to the public, so I have no clue what's supposed to happen! Stupid capitalism. Profit, profit, profit. That's all networks think about!

Lame.

Some New Shows

Alright, I'm addicted to TV offered online. Absolutely addicted. There are three shows that I love:

1: Better off Ted- Introduced to me by Laura and so worth it. It cracks me up! The dialog, the humor, those ads, everything. It's hilarious! It's like Arrested Development, but without the ... disturbed family.

This is available on Wednesday nights on ABC.



2. Life on Mars (UK): So great. The plot's a little difficult to explain, but the show is easy to follow. It's a great comparison to policing of the 70s and the policing policies of today.

There are two series (seasons) offered through BBC1. Unfortunately it is over. Thought the episodes can be watched online, through youtube.com and through various Asian youtube equivalents.


3. Ashes to Ashes (UK): This is the sequel to Life on Mars, but instead of Sam Tyler being the main character, the main character is Alex Drake (played by the beautiful Keeley Hawes). The plot is basically the same, but with a twist. It's filled with feminism, discrimination of all kinds, and a really creepy clown. Not to mention some great sexual tension.

There is currently only one series of Ashes to Ashes, but the new one is supposed to air 20 April, and I seriously can't wait.

Flying High

I just LOVE Flight of the Concords. Check 'em out. They're great! The music is by far the best part of the show, so if you don't want to watch the show, at least youtube some of their songs!

Coke, Je T'aime.

Coca Cola ads make the world a better place.

Here are my ton 5 favorite. It was quite hard to choose.

5: Let's Just Be Friends
4: Give a Little Love
3: The Loneliest Guy
2: Happiness Factory
1: What Goes Around

ALL TIME FAVORITE:
