What's on the television?

Right. So I don't think that we are going to be watching quality television like those two lovely ladies were, but I think we can manage to drum up some decent television - and we'll make sure that no male lion-penguin crossbreeds stamped "property of the zoo" can sit on top of the TV and consequently blow up. And if we see one we'll dump it in one of the boy's rooms. Or my half of the room. Whichever, it wont make a visual difference.

As a very wise young man once wrote, "You did take a very long time to say very little." I think that sums up this situation and the whole of my blogging career very well. Anyway, I thought I may provide a list/schedule of the television that we will be taking the opportunity to watch. And by we I mean myself and others that care to join me, so some shows will not be included, and there is an addition to the fall lineup that I WILL be hitting up.

Monday

How I Met Your Mother - I think we could all go with another season of Ted whining, Lily making me want to stab her, Barney and Robin being ridiculous, and Marshall being awesome. At least that's how I sum it up.

True Blood - New episodes come out on Sundays, so I declare Monday after How I Met Your Mother: True Blood watching time. Anyone who does not want to see fucking should probably go elsewhere.

Wednesday

So You Think You Can Dance - Usually only on in the summer, SYTYCD is having a fall season. My favorite thing about this show is that it is a dance show first, and a reality show second. Thus, the dancing is amazing, the judges are a little wacky, but it blows American Idol out of the water never to come back again. You guys will love it. I hope.



I know it's not the most widely-accepted dance but it's probably my favorite one ever.

Glee - Since SYTYCD is usually 2 hours long, and Glee is on at 9, I was worried that these two might overlap - but they're on the same network. So. Either Fox is fucked or we're fine. And besides the AWESOME version of Don't Stop Believing this show looks wicked fun. And the cheerleading coach is worth an hour of show you don't like. Honestly, she is.

Thursday

30 Rock - I don't think I need to convince anyone. Workin' on my night cheese!

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - I have gone from listening to Leann and Haley watch this show while I wrote papers and chatted with my friends to catching up on all the seasons in a matter of days. And deciding who, in all my groups of friends, was The Brain, The Looks, and the Wild Card.

Friday

Dollhouse - Looks like we're doing the Friday night not-party-but-watch-TV-and-start-playing-awkwardly-late-while-praying-for-the-show-not-to-be-canceled thing again. Thanks Fox. We really owe you one. That and lusting after now-scarred Victor. Oh Joss Whedon. You really GET my weakness for guys with scars.

And that's that! We're grossly obsessed! And will all end up looking liiiiiiike:

Bobby pins

In a girls dorm room, you can find bobby pins randomly anywhere. Once, I found one wedged between an organic instant soup cup and a bag of Reisens chocolate. Having bobby pins strewn all over a room is handy, especially when you're a girl and you have hair.

a poster

I really think we need to have this poster or a poster like it:

Things That Come Together/In Which Nora Finds More Pictures of Shoes

SO I was thinking about things that either come in pairs, or just go together. And then I thought, what kind of pairs of things are going to be in our room?!

Number 1: Cups and Saucers.
If last year's tea consumption is any indicator, we will be drinking a lot of it. And why not get classy? So I say, lets go all out and get a tea set complete with cups and saucers, and we can sit around and say things like rather! and poppycock!

Number 2: (Is anyone surprised?) Footwear

So, if we were to obtain any of these examples of quality pedial coverings we could be like:

Victoria Beckham (She wore shoes like these to toss the first pitch at what I think was a Yankees -boo- game; I would have just borrowed some from Sporty Spice, but these sneakers are fairly slammin)
Cinderella (these are real glass...unbelievably badass)
Luke Skywalker (I know he never REALLY wore bantha shoes, but he would have if he could have. Maybe it would be more likely that we would be like Obi Wan Kenobi)
AND

Me. Seriously. Who doesn't want to be like I was as a four year old? Or be like the dude in the picture. Of course, due to his awesome slippers and lacrosse sweatshirt I think we all know I'd rather be DATING the dude in the picture, but that is neither here nor there. Anyway, I had a pair of these bad boys when I was a wee lassie, and they ROCK. Seriously, who wants slippers that are the SAME?! (No offense, bantha booties, but Ernie and Bert show you up a million times over) And don't give me any of that Ernie and Bert have gay sex shit. All you need to know about them is that they are AWESOME.


Number 3: Knitting Needles

I assume that we will also continue to knit, in which case, why not get some adorable polka-dot knitting needles? They look prrretty cool, eh?

Number 4: Poptarts

I honestly don't really like poptarts. Which makes it great that I have a roommate, becuase they DO come in pairs, and then when I have one and remember how much I don't really like them, Emily gets the other one! It's such a good system. I think it's why they put them in pairs, so they can appeal to the college population. It makes sense. Don't question it.





Number 5: Rum and Moxie

They were made for each other. 'Nuff Said.




Number 6: Rain Coat and Rain Pants

Why would you go outside in the rain unless fully protected? Or me? I don't know, but my favorite part about this sweet Rain Suit is how sexy the woman is trying to make it. Honey, it is a large sheet of plastic with some velcro on it. The only person that is going to think that is sexy is blind. And has no tactile feeling. And deaf or really like the sound of tarp. Some people juggle geese. But anyway, for all those who don't enjoy long rain dances then running into the building sopping wet and trailing wet jean cuffs on the floor, you can join me in the fun part without the mess if you just invest! I think it's a workable plan.

Number 7: Breasts

Two girls, one room, no breast cancer. There will be boobs. Oh my I just got the best idea for a spin-off porno. But it's probably totally already made. Back on track, and don't be alarmed these little bimbos are all mine, and since Emily is having a love affair with that shirt, I think that is what the breasts living in our room will probably look like quite often. So get ready to enjoy!


Number 8: Mario and Luigi

See, my mother promised my brother a Wii if he got good grades last semester. He did, and thus I am now totally a nintendo fan. So I figure with Emily's pre-geekdom and my proto-geekdom we will be seeing quite a lot of these guys and all sorts of other video game characters. (I chose a picture of Baby M and L because I play with Baby Mario more often than not. He's awesome.)

Number 9: Severus Snape and Albus Dumbledore


These two guys rock. I love them. Snape being Dumbledore's right-hand man, I think it's safe to assume that they are some sort of pair. How cute. And taking into account the fact that we all like Harry Potter, I think we will be seeing a lot of them. (I chose the Potter Puppt Pals version as a hint)



Number 10: Baby Ponies

I love this story 10 million. And those babies are the cutest things I have ever seen. We can fit them in our room, right?

So, that's what I am expecting from next year in terms of paired things. Will it be difficult? MAYBE! Can we accomplish it?! OF COURSE WE CAN!

And last but not least:

Today is Hug Draco Malfoy Day

If you haven't seen HP6 or aren't going to see it today as soon as possible, then what's wrong with you? we can't be friends. But seeing as how Emily and Nora are the biggest fangirls I know (well, it's mostly Nora), I declare today Hug Draco Malfoy Day! Or just imagine hugging Draco Malfoy today because he really needs one. Aw, poor sad son of a Death Eater, never could live up to his father's cruel expectations. Well, you don't have to, Malfoy! Become your own man! Also, please don't lose your hair as JKRowling seems to imply that you do in the epilogue. Ew.

P.S. Also, Snape needs some hugs too, but we can save them for HP7 when the serious shit goes down.

Slapchop

I think we should all be able to slap our troubles away with the slapchop, so that we can be in a great mood all day :)

Communal Netflix account?

I don't know how a Netflix account works. But it sounds like a good idea. Thoughts?

Tetris Support Group

Hey spaz! (I'm talking to you Miss Graham) Hey bim! (NORBS)

I would like to invite you to the Tetris Support Group, a group in which members can commiserate over Facebook Tetris scores, talk about how you want to rearrange everything that you see in real life, and dream of rainbow colored block shapes at night.

I am your group leader. It is my responsibility to pull you away from the ScotZone, library, or your personal computer even though you are on the 12th level and nag you about
1) studying
2) cleaning
3) doing laundry
4) performing other necessary human functions such as talking or making words other than excited noises during Tetris play such as "nnrgggh" or "hzzzzwy!"

You may know me as "That Bitch" but please know that I would never do something like
1) shut down your computer while you're playing
2) pull you away from THE GRAND MASTER LEVEL 999
3) tickle you

But I will
1) imitate my Asian mom and tell you in an annoying Asian accent that I DID NOT sit in a disease-ridden and overcrowded refugee boat full of DESPAIR and MISERY while I was PREGNANT WITH YOU so that you can honor the family name by going to college and then lose your scholarship BY PLAYING SOME COMPUTER GAME
2) imitate my Asian dad and stare at you in deathly silence with disappointment and disgust in my eyes
3) distract you with cookies

Happy playing (in moderation)
Love,
Leann
