Band camp is this week. Commence snickers and obligatory “this one time, at band camp” remarks.

So I have been posting in a while. There are a few reasons. For one, last weekend I visited Charlotte, North Carolina which is the cleanest city I’ve ever seen.

I’ve also been pretty busy buying things. Here’s my list so far…

Inventing the Abbotts DVD ($5.99) … Joaquin + Emma = OTP!
Go DVD ($5.99) … I’m a sucker for cheap DVD’s.
Made DVD ($10.99) … but Vince Vaughn is totally worth the extra 5 bucks.
Zoolander DVD ($9.44) … finally upgraded from my VHS because I wanted to see all the cool extras.
Gary Allan – Used Heart For Sale ($7.79) … recently became a Gary Allan fan and have been wanting to start buying up his CD’s (I think he has 4). Everywhere I went they were all 14.99 or up, but Wal-Mart had this one for super-cheap so I snatched it up.
Firefly on DVD (ehhh… could’ve been cheaper somewhere else but Wal-Mart was the only store that had them) … can’t wait to catch up!

My birthday is coming up soon. August 3rd to be exact. So I have updated my Amazon Wishlist so that you can know exactly what to buy me.

Okay, I’ll be back in a week. Don’t miss me. And I hope to have lots of packages for me when I get back. And send me lots of birthday emails. Pleeease. Pretty please?

Gawd I hate Carrot Top.

Warning: ranting ahead.

I want a boy. Not so much a boyfriend. Just a boy. If I go to college next year without ever having my first kiss, I am going to be sooooo pissed and very sure that the world is against me.

Yay! Arrested Development. 7 Emmy nominations including Outstanding Comedy Series, for which that awful show Friends was not nominated. Thank you, good night.

Chris Pratt on I Love the 90′s. Squeeeeeeeee.

I need to run more. Just a little self-reminder to get off my lazy ass.

Thanks to someone on my LJ friends lists who uploaded his comedy CD, I have been snorting with laughter for the past hour listening to Dane Cook. Hilarious. My favorite is his bit about Nestle Quick.

I hate where music is heading right now. All the bands sound the same and have the same moppy over-the-eyes hair. It’s like boy bands but with guitars. Franz Ferdinand, Rooney, The Killers, Interpol, Elefant, The Shins, WHATEVER. I’m so sick of bands. This is why I’ve retreated back into my country music fandom. I’m going to convert to jazz pretty soon because I hate bands so much.

I love my Swingers DVD. It has a commentary track with Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn where they draw things on the screen. Soooo cool.

Since Craig Kilborn had the worst guest week ever last week and is on repeats this week, I’m going to bring you all some Kilby goodness. A segment of To Blank With Love to be exact.

To ________, with Love

To The Manchurian Candidate, with Love
Calling yourself “the movie event of the summer” is just setting yourself up for failure. I’m already making plans to not see you. The movie event of the summer? Who are you kidding? I mean, c’mon, SLEEPOVER comes out this summer.

To Michael Moore, with Love
Don’t put Britney Spears in your next movie. That seriously made me cringe.

To Rachel, with Love
You have a trendy haircut and it makes me concerned.

To the incredibly fancy computer chair my mum bought, with Love
You’re pretty. And I’m guessing expensive. But please make your way into another room because sitting on you hurts my back.

To Joaquin Phoenix, with Love
Can’t wait to see Ladder 49. Watching you get married in the movie will be like watching my future. [/stalker message]

To Lindsay Lohan, with Love
You should really let your nipple slip out of your shirt again. People are forgetting you.

To Craig Kilborn, with Love
Get some better guests next week. And please, for the love of God, do a What Up?

To Owen Wilson, with Love
Do a movie soon. I miss your hair.

To the itch on my left big toe, with Love
Go away. Scratching you is too involved and relieves little.

To Best Buy, with Love
Would you have some sales on country CD’s once in a while? Target is kicking your ass in prices, but their selection sucks.

By the way, I added reviews of King Arthur, The Station Agent, and The Notebook to Recommended Viewing and some new wallpapers to Under My Thumb.

Things that amuse me.

• Somersaults
  I tried to do one on my way to put my Dawson’s Creek DVD in the DVD player. Is it just me, or were they way less painful when we were younger?
• My mother putting things away
  She’s always putting the coffee pot or the ironing board away. ALL THE TIME. I don’t think she wants to accept the fact that she raised one of those freaks who needs coffee and straight hair like everyday!
• McEnroe
  July 7th… the momentous day on which I turn to CNBC for the very first time. Mini-confession: I have a tiny crush on John McEnroe. Angry tennis players are the best.
• Brendan Frasier’s movie choices
  I actually think he’s a good actor who’s agent has the script filter set to only accept “cheesy and annoying” movies.
• “You Bleeping Mother Bleeper”
  Seriously, cursing is 10 times funnier when it’s bleeped out. Arrested Development totally plays this up. So did the X-Files in Jose Chung’s From Outer Space. Take that you bleeping bleep!
• Instant Pudding
  It’s a spontaneous reaction. Milk plus pudding mix yields instant pudding and FUN! (fun = heat or energy). You see… chemistry, people!
• Bonnets
  Hi, I’m Bonnets. No more Emma. Just Bonnets. Email me: bonnets@gmail.com
• Last Comic Standing
  I’ve missed the point to living if it’s not Tuesday night at 8 o’clock. Psssst, my pick to win is Gary Gulman… Boston represent!

Squee. New layout. The Bluths rock my world. Now I’ll just sit here patiently until the next season of Arrested Development premieres. If you guys don’t watch it next season and it gets cancelled, I’m blaming all of you and then I will really leave the internet. This show is better than Alias! Stop watching Alias! Alias blows. Oh, what am I saying?

So please comment on the new layout. And thank you George Michael for aiding in my HTML crisis.
