A Little Birdie Loves Me

Yeah, this may not be the greatest shot in the world. And yeah, it's far away. But YEAH it's real! A little birdie sent me this picture during the Golden Globes last week from backstage in the press area:

Gawd, I <3 Tina Fey. I want to shake her hand and give her a hug one day.

Of "Lost", Haircuts, Apartments & Graduation

For all my Lost fan friends, this may be the funniest thing I heard all week:

JNorton15: So you want to see possibly the best Lost message board quote ever?

JNorton15: "When Rose said to Bernard "If you are going to be hiding in the bushes, lets get you into something dark" .. was she refering to herself ???"

Anyway, I didn't want to leave a sad post like I did yesterday as the last one I did, especially since May 17 is over & I feel much better now AND there's all sorts of awesome things going on right now.

1. I cut my hair, about 7 inches. I don't think I look like me at all, but sometimes you just need a change, so I'm glad I did it :)

2. Amanda Giordano & I are moving into an apartment in Astoria, Queens on June 1. Visitors welcome. Yay, NYC livin'. It's sort of scary to officially be an "adult" now, but we all know that I'm definitely not going to start acting like one any time soon. Hooray for being broke, but it'll be worth it...

3. I helped Paul from Barenaked Hurley (the Lost parody band) write his last 2 songs & it was really fun. I stayed up literally all night on Tues so help him finish it, but it was such a blast to be a part of something that awesome. If you're a Lost fan, go to iTunes & download the Barenaked Hurley podcast feed, because all of his songs are hysterical.

Finally, to all my Marist friends who are graduating - GOOD LUCK! I'm so proud of you guys & I miss you all a lot. I'll (hopefully) see most of you tomorrow, whenever I get up there (I'm going to Rachel & Will's grad party). <3

"Heroes" rocks my socks.

A couple quick things:

1. Last night, Angrisani convinced me to join his fantasy baseball league. We named my team after Helen Keller, which is somewhat approp, especially considering I have absolutely no idea how a fantasy sports league works & Helen Keller probably would run a team better than me.

2. So this morning, I managed to lose my train pass, find it after I bought a million dollar round trip ticket in a panic, lose my credit card, find my credit card in my pocket all along, get hit on by the 50-year-old guy with a 9-year-old daughter & "a serious rejection complex" sitting next to me on the train who wants to take me to a movie & then walk around Borders Books, managed to step in a ginormous puddle AND got an IM from Eastern Europe! And all before 11am. Yeah, Monday.

3. Tonight's Heroes = amazing. I may or may not have cried with Jack Bristow Mr. Bennett's decision at the end. Uncle Lou looked at me like I was nuts, but he's been playing this weird Swedish music all week, so he really can't talk.

That's all for now.

A J.D. Christmas

I'm totally posting this video on STARKED NYC tomorrow (Tues, Dec. 12), but here's a little preview. Fucking classic. It's actually from 2003/2004, but I've never seen it before 10 minutes ago. It's A Charlie Brown Christmas performed by the Scrubs cast.

Dr. Cox as Linus is absolutely genius. I'm a tool, so I copied down his "True Meaning of Christmas" speech:

Here's the deal, Newbie. You can stuff your stockings with shiny little toys from now until you grow some testicles, but until you that stocking is filled with friendship, loyalty, love & devotion, well - it's just plumb empty. And no, you can't purchase those things at Laura Ashley, and no, you can't win them in the Redbook Giveaway Extravaganza. And gee, I'm sorry if these aren't things you can wind up & watch spin for 8 hours. Let me make this exceptionally clear: Christmas is about love. You can't live without other people's love. Not during Christmas, not ever. So go spend that time with your friends & family and if they laugh at you, laugh with them. And if they laugh at you again, hit 'em & go find some new friends. But for the love of God, Jesus, Mary, Joseph & his Technicolored Dreamcoat, don't ever, ever forget this, Newbie. You have to give love to get love. So start giving. Now. That's what Christmas is all about, Newbie."

If you didn't have adult onset diabetes, I wouldn't mind giving YOU a little sugar.

Happy-Arrested-Development-Season-3-Comes-Out-on-DVD-Day!

Woot woot. Watch this video. If you've never seen the show, then you're probably not going to get it. However, it should entice you to watch it because it is the greatest comedy ever. That's all. Peace homeys.
