-TER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE
WE LOVE THE HARRY POT (what?)
-TER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE
PASS THE HARRY POT (what?)
-TER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE

Our day really did start like that (and we eventually did eat some McDonalds dollar menu, but that doesn't rhyme with "tape"). Unfortunately our celeb red carpet stalkage turned out far less exciting. We had an awesome spot at first, but then they made all the fans stand ACROSS THE STREET from the red carpet. They also didn't stop traffic so half the time there were cars blocking the view, and the way they set it up the stars' backs were to us the entire time they made their way down the carpet. Between me and Jenn we must have taken over 100 pictures, and out of that I've weeded out a sorry dozen that are decent enough to post. :/



THE REAL LIFE LENS FLARES INVITE YOU TO THE VICINITY OF THE RED CARPET TO SEE SOME MOSTLY BLURRY PICS OF ACTORS' BACKS ( ENTER )

I do have my ticket for the midnight premiere next week, although this did little to get me excited for it sorry to say. Today was however, exactly one month to the day I get to meet La Quinto, and that does get me excited. He can show up in his fug hat and pornstache and it will be better than this.

I'm on the computer of so_severus, who chastises me for having been in the Star Trek "abyss" the last month, so allow me to prove that things having nothing to do with certain recent sci-fi reboot film by JJ Abrams are still capable of coming across my radar:

+ ( Grey's casting spoiler )

+ SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE!!! Who else is watching? I LOVE this season so far, this is the best group of dancers they've had yet. The only one I don't like is the skanky asian bitch, she doesn't impress me in the slightest. And that one girl, Kayla(?) she looks like a Russian hooker, but she can dance like a boss so she gets a pass. And I'm glad Tony was the first guy to be cut; I'm 99% positive he got into the top 20 on looks alone, which makes me ~disappoint. He was a cutie with some fierce GQ eyebrows, but his dancing was nowhere near the caliber of the rest. The judges said they liked his "potential" and "personality." TRANSLATION: HE'S HOT & OUR DEMOGRAPHIC OF 80% FEMALE 20% GAY GUYS WILL APPROVE. Lame. Otherwise, I can't decide on a favorite yet, I love too many. The interaction between the judges is ace! Lil C and his vocabulary words. Horseyface Mary Murphy has actually toned down a bit (although it's early, I'm sure there's much screaming to come) and her banter with Nigel is A+++++. And if you're not already, follow Nigel on Twitter! @dizzyfeet.

+ Saw "The Proposal" today, highly recommend! The plot itself is cliche and predictable, but the writing was surprisingly good and hilarious, and Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds play off each other really well and have great chemistry. And Betty White is loltastic, I'm so happy to see her in a movie! It's perfect as a light summer rom-com. A+ would lol again.

+ LAST BUT NOT LEAST, need to be buying tix for midnight premiere of Half-Blood Prince soon! I want to find out when the NYC red carpet premiere is too and get my stalk on, although the thought of having to camp out with a thousand fangirls does not dazzle my sparkles. I'm only going if at least one of you comes with me :/

+ My lappy is still out for repairs D': I'm trying to keep up with LJ, facebook, twitter etc. on my phone but it's a pain, esp since for some reason my otherwise awesome browser on my otherwise awesome new phone does not let me post to LJ properly. FAIL. I have so many things on hold until I get the damn thing fixed. UGHHHHHHH!

Okay, back to the abyss XD xoxo

The backlight on my laptop has given out for good this time, and I am now stuck with a computer that I can do nothing with because I can't see anything on the fucking screen. I took it to Geek Squad today where the girl patiently and kindly informed my shaking self that there's nothing they can do, I have to ship it to Dell. GODDOMOT. I don't even know if I have an extended warranty or not. And that's gonna take what, a month at least? WITH NO COMPUTER? AND I'M STARTING SUMMER CLASSES IN A COUPLE WEEKS? OH NO FUCK NO. Actually just the thought of going like, a few days without it is enough for me to start hyperventilating. My laptop is like, my life, man.

I'd been planning on finally getting my dream computer this year anyway (Lappy technically isn't even mine, I bought it for my mom so it's like, bare bones, cheap POS that is enough for her but doesn't suit my needs...I wound up taking it because I don't have space for my old HP desktop in my current apt) cause it's about fucking time I got a new, serious computer that will actually be useful in my new web career plans, or at least doesn't freeze every time I dare to run Photoshop, Firefox, and iTunes simultaneously. Except I'd been planning to get it once I actually, you know, had money or something. :I The Apple Store has financing, right?

Oy. Well, regardless, my LJ presence is going to be sporadic for a while...luckily I still get email, twitter, web etc. on my crackberry and touch, but ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh NOT THE SAME D': HEAR MY NERDY CRIES OF TECHNOLOGICAL ANGUISH.

I'm pretty sure I'm the only one of you watching this, but you know I'm a sucker for this shit. Those of you on Twitter, I'm twatting with updates too XD OK I will stop and just post here to spare your twitter feed.

ETA: THESE AWARDS ARE TURNING OUT HIGHLY RELEVANT TO MY INTERESTS. WIN!!!!

( MOAR INCLUDING HARRY POTTER PREVIEW AND BEING ON A BOAT )


* ZQ 360! amazing.

ENJOY. ♥

I'm happy to take requests too.

ETA: Added Uhura and her ~dangly earrings.

+ I have no words to describe the love I am feeling right now. I'm overwhelmed with the response I'm On A Ship has received. I'm pretty sure it's already gotten more comments/links than all the fanfics I've ever written combined. It was this silly idea that popped in my head and wouldn't go away, and I thought maybe like 5 other people would even get it. (Then again, we live in a world where millions of people forward each other pictures of cats eating pasta, so how I could misunderestimate so badly idk) Anyway, I stayed up till 5 AM trying to make a dent in responding to comments just to get up today and have a page more. SRSLY U GUYS OMG. ♥♥♥ Every time you rec/digg/comment/facespace, Spock's heart grows 3 sizes. To be sure.

+ Someone mentioned that it ought to be put together in After Effects (aka make a vid), and I admit a part of me is disappointed that I lack the resources to make a proper video and had to settle for picspam. For a while I had even considered doing a huge .gif :/ If anyone DOES have the time and software and skillz and would want to collaborate, contact me!

+ ontd_startrek is the Chambrpotts/PWN of Star Trek aka an amazing comm with fucking amazing people and if this movie made you jizz your space pants or even if you're only in it for PINTO you need to join or else you are out of your Vulcan mind.

+ That sentence probably needed commas.

+ I've gained a lot of new LJ friends in the last few weeks and I want to get to know you all, and get to know old fronds better, so let's bond.

~SPARKLY'S MIND MELD MEME~

Post any or all of the following:

SIGHT: what picture do you have on your desktop right now?

SOUND: what are you listening to right now?

TASTE: what would be your last meal if you were about to die in an alien attack?

SMELL: what do you smell right now?

TOUCH: what are you wearing? I may or may not be hitting on you

TRUTH: tell me something I should know about you.

PON FARR: spam me with pics of hot men. Actually you can skip the entire meme and just do this if you want. js.

Stolen off ONTD who stole it off EW:

( Fall TV Cheat Sheet )

CASTLE IS IN!!! :D

As much as it pains me to say this, I think next season should be the last for House. Not because I want it to end, but I don't want it to become one of those shows that doesn't end until after it's jumped the shark 3 times and become super shitty and no one watches anymore. *cough*XFILES*cough* Make it the final season, get him out of the mental hospital, off the Vicodin, into Cuddy's pants FOR REALZ and end this thing on a high note. Seriously.

2 hours of drama? bring it on!



( IMAGINARY DENNY INVITES YOU IN )

WHAT THE FUCK? WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?!?!?

( THE STAR TREK PERSONALITY QUIZ EVERYONE IS DOING )

So I just learned of this genius website: http://www.jandrewedits.com/ They have hilarious mashups of TNG episodes. They're fucking amazing. I don't think you have to have watched the series to find them funny, so all you n00b poseurs can come play too, but I feel I get extra enjoyment out of these by knowing which episodes the clips are taken from. Or it just makes me extra geeky idk.

They're all epic, but here are my favorites:



( MOAR )

OMG I WANT TO POST ALL OF THEM BUT THIS POST IS ALREADY OOC

AHAHAHAHAHA

HAHA

HA

*cough*

hm.

I really need to get off this couch.

WHAT






WHAT JUST HAPPENED

( HOUSE )

(no spoilers ahead)

THIS WAS LITERALLY ME ALL WEEKEND:

(EXCEPT KELLY = ME, and UNDERWEAR = STAR TREK.)

+ When I was a senior in high school, Star Wars Episode I (The Phantom Menace) came out in theaters. I saw that movie 8 times in the theater (I think once I even went twice in the same day). This was primarily fueled by a hormone-raged obsession with Ewan McGregor.

I have decided that since the new Star Trek reboot is so fucking awesome, and Star Trek>>>>>Star Wars and Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto have hijacked my ovaries I am going to attempt to beat this record. I have made a goal of seeing it at least 9 times. Probably 10 because I prefer even numbers. And watching the bootleg copy I just downloaded does not count. That would be.........cheating. Never mind the fact that movie tickets now cost me $12 a pop ($18.50 for IMAX). Obviously this is for what unemployment pay is intended.

*looks at NYers* WHO WANTS TO JOIN ME???? 1 DOWN, 9 TO GO.

+ You don't know how much it warms the cockles of my little geeky heart to see the Star Trek love all over my f-list this weekend (not even counting the like 5 or so comms I just joined :3) And I'm so relieved that so far all the critics have reviewed it positively, and more importantly you guys have all loved it. The best is hearing about anti-Trekkies who have been forced to see it and have been converted. <3 I had been so nervous that this film was going to flop on its face (have I mentioned how much I hated Cloverfield?)

+ In fact the only negative review I've come across so far is from Best Week Ever, which, well. Consider the source. Actually they bring up quite valid points and plotholes and I agree with 80% but I choose to ignore them because I don't want anyone chagrinning my space dazzle ok.

+ They already greenlit a sequel. A SEQUEL YOU GUYS. WE CAN HAS MOAR!!!!!!

+ I really feel like a giggly little kid again. One of my favorite memories growing up is watching TNG with my dad who is like hardcore Trek Geek. I pretty much came out of the womb being able to properly separate my fingers into a ~Live Long and Prosper~ salute. In fifth grade I was going to Trek conventions and I wore a Starfleet uniform for Halloween. I cried after the TNG finale. Oh and lest I forget, I started my fanfic career by writing incredibly bad Capt. Mary Sue fics on looseleaf when bored in class, back before the internets existed and before I even knew of the term 'fanfic' or 'Mary Sue'. No wonder I got beat up. WHY DO I ADMIT TO THESE THINGS? I'M F-LOCKING THIS RIGHT NOW.

+ So then this weekend I'm at my mom's for M-Day and we're watching SNL and GUESS WHO APPEAR. And I have a massive squee attack on the spot. I'm grabbing my mom and cutting off her circulation. Needless to say I spent the entire weekend trying to convince her of her urgent need to see this film. But incomprehensibly, mom would rather go see Angels and Demons (SRSLY) and doesn't understand how I can be so excited over something that doesn't have Ewan McGregor in it. I think she thinks it's still 1999.

+ I already bought 1 out of the 4 collectible Star Trek glasses from Burger King. I'm going to be eating a lot of Burger King this week. Not only am I a loser, I'm going to be a fat loser.

+ It's probably early to ask this but I never underestimate the internet...does anyone know if there's HQ screencaps of the movie to be found anywhere? I want to make icons and picspams. YES PICSPAMS, THAT WHICH I NEVER HAVE PATIENCE FOR NORMALLY.

+ House and Castle season finales tonight. I have to will myself to stop fapping for those 2 hours. Writing this out and seeing in black and white what a nerd I am has kinda helped.

AND I'M STILL JIZZING MY PANTS.


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!





( SPOILERS ARE GO. )


I LOVE THE WAY THIS FILM WAS DONE. It's how it should have been done in the first place, except the technology/fx/mindset just didn't exist 40 years ago. Roddenberry was def a guy ahead of his time.

OH AND GUESS WHAT WAS THE FIRST PREVIEW THEY SHOWED. HBP!!!!! THAT SHIT IS GOING TO ROCK.

WHAT DID I TELL YOU.

but I'm a big soggy mess now :'(

( THIS IS MY THEORY: )

Or I could be completely wrong. I hate them both so in the end I wish they would just GTFO, married or not. I swear Bailey and Christina are the only reason I watch. Also I'm tempted to turn tonight's ep into a drinking game (actually at this point, all Grey's episodes would be greatly enhanced by this).

And if you really care, Mer and Der have an official website on theknot.com, made by Izzie. I have to admit the SGH Guestbook is spot-on.

...and NBC needs to stop toying with my emotions:

Ausiello: NBC is prepared to move forward with Law & Order: SVU with or without Chris Meloni and Mariska Hargitay. "There's an offer on the table," said co-chair Marc Graboff, cryptically.

WITH OR WITHOUT?

WITHOUT??? D:

I really want to know what the deal is. I can't imagine Chris and Mariska being greedy and demanding, so either NBC is being stingy or IDK what. (Yes, the economy is bad but their ratings are good.)

MAYBE THEY CAN BORROW GOLDBLUM FOR A WHILE :D:


Other tidbits:

CANCELLED: Life

RENEWED: The Office, 30 Rock, Law & Order: SVU (WITH OR WITHOUT GAHHHH), Friday Night Lights, Celebrity Apprentice, The Biggest Loser, Heroes, Southland, Parks & Recreation (srsly??) Also, Fox announced they have renewed Fringe.

UNDECIDED: Chuck, Medium, Earl, and L&O Mothership to be determined by May 19. Medium & L&O expected back but have not decided on # of episodes

NEW SHOWS: "Four dramas (Trauma, Parenthood, Mercy, Day One), two comedies (Community and 100 Questions), and six episodes of cheap filler Saturday Night Live Weekend Update Thursday." The only one I'm excited about is Community because it stars Joel McHale ♥

Over on ONTD all these girls are whining "I'M 20 AND I FEEL OOOOOOOLD"

SHUT.
THE.
FUCK.
UP.

Last I checked, none of you bitches are named Benjamin Button. If you are below or have just hit US Drinking Age, you are not qualified to whine that you are old. EVER.

ice-t

has Twittered regarding his role in the epic Tommy and the Cool Mule:



LOLLLLL. And yes I follow Ice-T on Twitter. Don't give me that look.


house

I was planning to start going on about House hallucinating about CTB and how they did it so much better than Grey's but none of that is important now because officially next week HOUSE AND CUDDY ARE OFFICIALLY HAVING OFFICIAL SEX.
:D :D :D

If you like babb_chronicles, you'll love the Awkward Fanfic and Fanart blog. Never miss out on gems like "Edward, Jacob, Renesmee, and Bella’s Parable, a Twilight and Bible Crossover Fanfic:" jacob was roaming( lol vocab word) through the woods with his pops isaac when all of a sudden isaac was like “hay, you’re aren’t my fav. GIIIIIIIIIT OUT OF HERE” and kicked jabob. jahob was so angry that he went “BLURREEEEEEEEEEEHGEHHHGEEEHGGHGHHHGHGHHHHHH amen” and transformed into a old testament wolf. jagob was strollin (nother vocab!) through the woods when he saw that tramp cheatin on him.


castle & the unusuals

Do you know what they are calling the Castle/Beckett ship?

CASKET.

*facepalm* That's just perfect.

Also, I just learned about @SaveCastle. Is it in real danger of being cancelled? I WILL CRY. SRSLY ABC SRSLY.

Even if you haven't been watching The Unusuals (shame!) this podcast below is worth watching for fans of ANY cop show. The on-set IRL detective discusses how he helps the actors prepare for their roles, and how real life is stranger than fiction :D



Not gonna lie though, I love both but if ABC has to choose, I'd rather they keep Castle.


sparkly-stuff.dreamwidth.com

I have no effing clue what I'm going to do with it, but it exists. IT'S ALIIIIIIIIIVE *cough* sorry. Um, frond me or whatevs. Thanks chocolatepot!

CAN SOMEONE HOOK A SISTAH UP WITH A DREAMWIDTH INVITE CODE??

I HERD U CAN LOG IN WITH OPENID AND THEN THEY'LL SEND U A FREE CODE BUT I TRIED THAT AND THEY DIDN'T SEND ME NOTHING THOSE BASTARDS.

SO FAR DREAMWIDTH LOOKS JUST LIKE LJ.............BUT PINK.

MEANWHILE I'M HUNGRY AND I WANT A HOT DOG. AND MOAR WINE PLS.

ICE-T IS STARRING IN SOME STRAIGHT-TO-DVD LOOKING MOVIE AS THE VOICE OF A TALKING MULE.

CORRECTION: A "COOL" MULE. WITH BLING.




AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHA


WHAT



ALSO: KEVIN SORBO.

(This is the kind of role that actors take after they've had 4 kids and feel embarrassed making R-rated films their kids can't watch. Ice-T has no kids and a wife with size 36HHHHHHH bazongas. Um. LOL QUE?)
