I remembered 3 different times today to set my DVR to record the premieres of Chuck and Journeyman... only problem was I wasn't free during those times to do it. So when I do get a free moment, I of course completely forgot, which I could now kick myself for.

So I wasn't home at all during the hours the shows were on, and I realize at like 10:30 that I didn't record anything.

I know my dad records Heroes, which is on before those two, so I was hoping that maybe he kept the channel on. (Even though I knew it was more realistic to think he changed it to the SciFi channel and was watching some ridiculous movie like Super Snake.)

When I get home, I asked if he watched either of the two shows. His answer: "I don't think either of them are going to last."

So you didn't even watch them for a second???? Great. Now I have to find where I can download them and watch them sometime before next week... along with typing up a bunch of sh*t for school, studying, and hopefully watching some more of season 1 of So Weird that I downloaded a few weeks ago. Ah, sweet nostalgia...

Finally, I have watched an episode of Conan O'Brien in HD.

And of course, it had to be the one where everyone was spitting wine over their shoulders. lol. :P

It was really cool though. I could almost read the words on Conan's mug. And of course, I could see every gravity-defying red hair on his head, and the true pastyness of his skin... lol.

Also, that ceramic figurine of somebody's head that's on his desk... that thing's really shiny...

Well, my new DVR box has led me to discover that of all the programs to put in HD, ABC has chosen to give Jeopardy! the higher-quality priviledge. Weird, huh? I'm sure the 60+ demographic was really calling out for their favorite game show to be upgraded to the 21st century. (Especially considering that most old people have TVs from the 80s)

It even has its own corner logo... Jeopardy HD. lol.

This would be way better if Alex Trebek still had his moustache.

How'd I get from 30% through level 10 to 80% through level 10 in one day????

I didn't do anything out of the ordinary...

It's probably a glitch. But I hope it's one that doesn't get fixed! ;)

Our school supplies us planners on the first day for us to write our homework in etc.

For the last few years they've also been dumb and tried to pick inspirational ones, usually meaning the pages are saturated with 'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens.'

1. What the f*** is an 'effective teen', and why should I want to be one?

2. Who actually listens to this dumbass advice???????

Every few pages they have a 'Dear Jayce,' thing, which is supposed to be a teen with problems writing to an advice columnist. Well, this particular "letter" I chose to reprint because of it's ridiculous attempts at sounding like a "cool teen," exceptional sterotypes and horribly inadequate response. If this sh*t existed in real life, no one in their right minds would write to it.

Dear Jayce,
I just moved to a small town and the people are so backward! I could show them how to be hip, but no one wants to hang out! What's with that?! -Trendy in Texas

*So first off, we have the sterotype that everyone in Texas is a cowboy who plays a banjo and hasn't heard any of the songs on the radio, because radios don't exist yet in Texas.

Now, politics wise, Texas is pretty square, but still, not EVERYONE wears cowboy boots and a belt with their name on it. Anyway, the reply:

Dear Trendy,
When you tear others down, it usually means you are insecure. Stop trying to prove you are cool and be yourself; let others be themselves too.

*So the "advice columnist" chooses to ignore the kid's actual problem and assume he's been going around preaching how cool he is to all the cowboys and telling them they suck; and begins to 'tear' the kid down by telling him he's an insecure wimpy douche.

What does "tear others down" mean, anyway??? Did anyone think that maybe the kid wasn't imposing his coolness on people he openly called uncool, maybe he just wanted to make friends and THEY'RE the insecure people who think he's weird and don't want to hang out with him.

Nice job, 7 Habits. That's tooootally advice I'm gonna keep with me for life.

Pretty soon this is just going to turn into a 'links to funny youtube videos' blog.

But I can't help it. These are hysterical.
I can't decide which jar-of-dirt related video is the funniest. Can you?

Because you never knew how incomplete your life was before you heard Bob Dylan's take on "Baby Got Back."

Or "Gold Digger," for that matter.

Hands up if you remember this commercial!

Oh, the days before they changed the name...

This bothers me for some reason. It's not entirely because I'm a fan of Scrubs... it's primarily because of the asinine research.

Does anyone else get that stupid college magazine in the mail? You know, the one that doesn't help you at all? Well, they had a section that compared favorite TV shows to what their characters' professions are like in real life.

So they had an article on Scrubs. And it starts out by saying something like "Every day is usually hysterical for Dr. John McGinley and the rest of the staff at Sacred Heart..."

Um, what????????

John McGinley is the name of one of the actors. John Dorian is the name of the main character. If his last name was McGinley, he would be JMC, not JD. (Did anyone think about this at all?)

And John McGinley doesn't even play JD, he plays Dr. Cox. Way to go, smart people who are supposed to be writing about high-learning institutions. About 2 seconds of googling could tell you the main character is John Dorian. So who is dumb enough to make that mistake???

And what editor didn't catch it as well?

I now know what my life's purpose is.

To become a famous reporter, for the sole purpose of one day interviewing Bono and asking him what the f*** he was on during this performance.

he might just be trying too hard to act punk, but around the time when he starts bouncing up and down like a monkey... that's what makes me think he was at least drunk at the time.

Highlights of this hilarious performance include:
-Beginning the song with an odd word, which as far as I can tell, is "Snail." Yeah.
-Abandoning the actual lyrics before the second verse even starts and completely ad-libbing the entire song from then-on.
-Changing his belt onstage (WTF?)

And my personal favorite...
Climbing on top of a pile of speakers/equipment, whilst shouting "THIS IS TO GET ATTENTION!!!!!!", and then launching into 'Send in the Clowns.'

This thing is GOLD.
