:P

hello everyone, and welcome to the fourth installment of blog everyday in april. today's topic: :(

but not really. i do feel like crap, but i'm not gonna bother you all with that. no dreams to relay that i can think of, so i'm gonna talk about disney channel.

so as you all might know, shows on the disney channel have taken a turn for the worse ever since that's so raven ended. i think i can trace it back to the start of the problem: Hannah Montana. now here's the problem: when that show started, it was new and different, not to mention the fact that the first season and a half was actually funny. maybe i shouldn't blame it all on Hannah and co. i think the problem really started all these other shows came on and copied Hannah's comedy and delivery. because of that, things got old fast.

now, there was a time that i really wanted to like these shows and movies, but as time went on and the quality went down, i just gave up. there are times where i still wish i could like these shows, but i just shake my head and go watch something on Nick Jr. it really bothers me that i can't even praise these shows and actors without mentioning their downfalls. i hate it, but it's inevitable.

now after all that, there are some things from disney channel that i do like HSM 3 is the best disney channel movie. there are people who actually can act and sing, like Zac Efron and Demi Lovato (respectively... even though Zac's got singing chops too). it's just that they make people who are good at one thing cross over into the other. almost everyone who is a main character in a tv show is also a singer, and everyone who sings is on a tv show. like, it's fine with Miley, because that's the whole point of Hannah Montana in the first place, but did Brigit Mendler need to sing anything? no. and on the other side you have the Jonas Bros. who are phenomenal singers, IMO, who can't act for shit. why do they have their own tv show? it just makes no sense to me.

and what makes me laugh is that the shows on abc family aren't really any different, but i'm not even gonna get into that. let's just say that i finally saw the light halfway through the second season of Secret Life, and even that was too long.

okay... i'm gonna stop being a bitch now :)

possible next topic: me bitching about the characters of Watchmen... maybe.

more stuff.

not a lot to say today.

so i was watching a movie that had Jeff Bridges in it from the 80's, and i had tweeted that he wasn't as creepy looking as the cg 80's Jeff Bridges from Tron: Legacy. but then i started to watch the movie more... and look at him more... and i got totally creeped out again. turns out that young Jeff Bridges just freaks me out. can't figure out why though... i guess i'll just have to blame the uncanny valley for ruining it for me. doesn't help that he tried to kill Glenn Close in the movie

but still... he's not as creepy as Castor... *shudder*

Mood: creeped again...

blog every day in april...

ah! or something like that...

i'm attempting BEDA. i have a feeling it means there will be short posts again (after i got rid of them all!), but yeah, wutevs.

first things first... i had a dream about Franklin, like the tv show. i'm sleeping on the couch in the living room this weekend because i want to wake up and watch cartoons (bluuuue's cluuuuues). Franklin was on and it was some episode about a submarine or something. in the dream they had, like, an actual submarine. it was weird, but normal compared to some other dreams i've had. at least i can remember it.

second things... you get it... you know how abc family likes to have movie marathons? sometimes they're good... like REALLY good, like Harry Potter weekends and the disney movies and such. today though, as if to cancel out all the good of them playing Monsters Inc. tonight, they're having a Bring It On marathon. if you aren't familiar with abc family, it means they play every bring it on movie except the first one, which is really the only good one. it got me thinking about how the sequels kinda lost the original purpose of the first movie. like, the first one isn't the best movie, or even a great comedy, but it was a decent satire of competitive cheerleading . as they started making sequels, it just turned into 'white girl's team verses black girl's team, black girls make white girl see what cheerleading is really about'. add that to the steadily falling quality of acting and comedy, and you've got some shitty movies. the only one that did something a little original was the latest one, even if it is just another romeo and juliet story. either way, the moral of the story is, abc family needs to have more disney movie marathons and STOP with the shitty teen dramas. seriously.

Mood: hm...
Listening to: community channel videos :)

man, i'm on a roll

two posts within three days? oh yeah...

so first, i've been looking at my old notebooks, reading through poorly written stories of my past. and they are VERY poorly written. these are the kind of things that made me realise that i'm not a writer and that i probably never will be. and i wrote some crazy stuff too... like, i have one story where a guy is dating two guys and tried to get another guy to date him too. like seriously... but yeah, what can you do?

even so, it's funny to see all the stories that i started writing that i never finished. i even tried to write a weird HP fanfic... i have no idea where it was going (probably because i wrote it 2 years ago). also found the first drafts of the HSM i mentioned above. somehow, they're worse than the second drafts i posted to FF.net. the one decent thing i found was part of this series that i wrote (never finished, what's new) based on the Georgia Nicholson series. it's pretty good until it gets to the part where the main character thinks she's psychic, but even so, it's still okay. the other somewhat decent thing that's in that book is this 'horror' anthology that i started last year based on urban legends. i need to read through them again to make sure they really don't suck :P

also found some other random stuff like the script to the first two episodes of MLaD, a weird twilight thingy, and a very strange take on alice in wonderland involving drugs, a weirdo hippy and some creeps.

now you might think that i'll end this with something about how the past shapes the future blar blar, but i'm no vlog brother, so i'm gonna end it there.

(warning: i'm gonna delete A LOT of my old posts, because i want to do clean up :P )

Mood: semi-nostalgic, cleany... if that makes sense...

dreamy :P

this morning i had a dream where i was holding hands with Brad Pitt :D i still have no idea what i was doing there, but still. the weird part is that after that i was getting a milkshake from McDonald's, and i couldn't hold it right :/
-*-*-
i was looking at my new year's post, and man i felt like a bitch. like, really, i just said the same old spiel that everyone says when they know they can't keep a resolution themselves. while it is true that most people are like "i wanna lose weight!" and they can't, it's not like i'm any better for calling them out on it.
-*-*-
random crap: you know that whole "if a tree falls in the woods..." thing? who came up with that? i was thinking about it yesterday, and it doesn't work that way. it's not like emotions, where you can't have joy with out pain and stuff like that. the tree makes a sound whether you can hear it or not. it's the same way if you put a bunch of people in space to hear an explosion, they aren't gonna hear it. and how can there be no one around to hear it? no animals? none? where is this tree?
-*-*-
overall enthusiasm, yeeeeeee haaaaaaaaw :P

baby names

so, I had an interesting dream last night, and i actually remember what it was about. me and my sister were in this mall (I've had dreams about if before) and I was pregnant. we were looking for something, but I can' remember what... anyway, for some reason there was a dog sitting place in the middle of the mall, and while one of the dogs was just laying there, there was another dog that was kind of scary. I think it tried to bite me. on twitter, I asked my friend Veronica what it meant, and she said it means I have an idea that needs to get out. I'm just gonna take her word for it.
------------------------------------------------------
that dream got me thinking about baby names. I'm not the kind of person who likes to think to far into the future, but when I see pretty names, I do take note of them. the thing about it is that I only have a few names that like, and they're all girl names. what if I have a boy?
for some reason, I have this weird idea that if you name a kid after a character or a famous person, they'll end up just like that person. like, if you name your son after Kevin Jonas, he'll be a good singer and a kick-ass guitarist, but I'd you name him after Kevin Flynn, he'll be an extraordinary nerd. I don't know why I think this, but that's how if is, and it's really hindering my search for the name of my future-maybe son. I mean, Jason, Fredrick, Michael, and Thomas are already off the list, on the off chance these names might cause him to be a psychopath. on the other hand, with girl names, I don't have this problem. There's no "should we name her after Natalie Portman?" stuff. It's just Madeliene, Madison, Martina, DONE. there's also the problem of making sure my kid won't get picked on in school. that kinda rules out some book names, especially Harry Potter names. I'm also staying away from foreign names as first names, because, you know, if my kid has a Japanese name, they're expecting at least one Japanese parent or grandparent. chances are that my husband or baby daddy or whatever will probably be white (biracial baby ftw?), so I'm not naming my son Carlos. in short, it's hard to name a baby. good thing I have time to figure this out.

this is important
