I just realized Jake Hoffman is in I Heart Huckabees for a second. I love him. If Click wasn't so depressing, I'd buy that movie for him alone. Plus Isla Fischer is the second Huckabees girl, but when I saw it the first time I didn't know who she was. Anyhows, the movie was better this time. It was funnier even if I still don't see what it was supposed to be "about" or if it had anything to it at all.

I don't know... should I watch the MTV Movie Awards tonight or Sopranos and Entourage? All are inevitably going to repeat over and over. I just don't know what to watch first. OK, The Departed was represented which is all I really cared about. The rest of the nominees are puerile. So I'm switching over to HBO at 9pm. I'll get my Silverman fix later.

I just added maybe ten artists to my MySpace friends. And I was looking through Coconut Record's pictures and apparently Zooey Deschanel sings on some track. I'm assuming it's "This Old Machine," because the lyrics to "Mama" are in front of that Jen girl (from Seawolf?) in another one of the photos. This is one of those times that a physical CD with linear notes is useful. I'm so clueless when it comes to indie stars. It's never been my favorite genre (even back when it was called emo) to keep track of. I do love Zooey though. Where's HER CD?

Riley Smith is playing a show at the end of June too, WHAT THE CRAP. I do not have this money, nor the friends for all these shows OK! Awesome musicians, please stop playing so close together when I'm trying to start being more concert-going-like. I was always under the impression tickets were generally $50 and everything I'm finding is in the $10-$30 range. Why was I not notified of this earlier and furthermore who put that ridiculous amount in my head? And please find me more friends who are of the concert-going ilk in real life.

Yesterday was cool. Fun day at the BBQ where I realized I'm not weird and I have the same musical tastes as my cousins. One nearly fell over when I told her I knew of (and love) Avenged Sevenfold. And the CCL show where my dad finally met Glo (first person I met from online, back in 2005) and Glo committed identity theft (she said her name was Lia and I was Glo during an audience participation part). Also, between the Scottish girls who came to America solely to shop cheaply and then go back home and the various bits about Scotland Glo and I could not stop referencing Ewan McGregor. I swear, the world revolves differently (around Wang- our code name for Ewan) when we're together.

New movies to watch (Celebrity and Sexual Life.) Once I'm done with these, I can get my Schwartzman fix. *glee* There's not enough time left in Sunday! I need to get these out before the postman comes by Monday at 3.

Today was totally a weird ass day. I hope everyone near Virginia is ok. I know some of you live in VA. And for everyone else, just... start building boats. I saw somewhere on the news some lady said it's the most water she's ever seen. Um, sure. You were living under a rock during Katrina then, I guess. It's not torrential here but if I see a honey pot or umbrella float by with some forest animals in them, I'm hopping on.

As for other news, The Imus story is definitely huge in my school so we ended up talking about it yet again today. I want it to be over already. My views don't fit the majority of the class and having strangers pounce me is not on my list of "must do". And I forgot my calculator and we had a test in Math. But we spent so long reviewing that it got pushed to Weds. I love my class.

I spent a good hour and a half out in the rain today just because I wanted to. Ever had one of those days where you just don't want to be anywhere? Yeah. I wanted to be home so badly. And you know how you sometimes think you see something out of the corner of your eye and it's nothing? Well the women in my family (maybe some of you get it too, but it's only my mom, me and my sister that see this) from time to time see like human figures, almost like silhouettes. Sometimes they're dark gray, sometimes white. They're only ever around for 5 seconds at most. But I've been seeing them a lot lately, especially at school and it creeps me out. They're not scary, it's just shapes. But it's maybe three every five minutes at school. It's hard to focus on stuff when there's shapes moving about the campus or the library, disrupting you from whatever you're doing.

My music isn't helping either. I'm highly addicted to Amy Winehouse. I try to listen to one album at a time, and then listen to Chingon or Kane or Marky Mark or something else I adore, but in a few minutes I'm thinking about some song I adore, and scrolling the iPod/iTunes back up to 'A'. Ever get those kinds of ruts? I know it'll blow over eventually and I'll be in some other musical addiction, but it's kind of annoying once you know all the songs by heart but just can't help listening one more time.

And I missed a good half hour of "Dancing...". And obviously now there's three episodes of "Drive" I have too go find. BUT. Coming Soon came from Blockbuster, so screw the shows. It is time for floppy-haired James Roday. Once again, Psych (or it's star) saves the day.

Oh, also:
This wins. Trainspotting was good, but the sequel wasn't too amazing. But that may have been because of the way it was written. It wasn't written in dialect like Trainspotting was. So, maybe the movie will be better. Although the accomplishment of the movie wasn't making a good movie, but knowing which characters from the book would make the best sense in the movie. So that's what I'm looking forward to now. P had a lot of funny characters-- I'd say more than Trainspotting, just not as interestingly written.

This picture is adorable. I don't like paparazzi pictures, but at least you can't see the kids faces well. And this picture is hysterical. I almost woke people up this morning when I saw that. LOL

P.S. And hey, what do you know today's the anniversary of the Titanic sinking. I don't know what that has to do with anything, but I didn't know that. Heh.

And Happy Birthday Sean Maher! *waves Browncoat flag*

There's a lot of things going on today. But first and foremost: IT IS EWAN MCGREGOR'S 36TH BIRTHDAY! *fangirls and confetti*

So a vidspam is in order. Because I'm too lazy to just post pictures.

JAMES RODAY WTF HAPPENED TO YOU? SALDHWARWFDSGERGSFA;SFLDGFEA

NEXT YEAR, THOSE UPFRONTS, LET ME KNOW WHEN, YES PLEASE.

Anyway. I saw something similiar to this at [profile] sparrowlove 's journal and thought, "what a great idea!" So I was going to do just Ewan. But then because of [personal profile] splits_thesky ,I decided to go through The Departed men as well. But when I see Matt I think of Ben (well, before Dimon anyway), and Ben reminds me of Casey.... so....

"These disturbing pictures are evidence of just how deeply troubled fallen pop star Britney Spears has become."

That's the lead from the cover story on today's NY Daily News. It makes me sick.

No, Daily News, it's not evidence of how troubled she is, it's evidence of how troubled we are. As a country. The only other news on the cover was Bernie Williams, squished on the bottom of the cover page. This is what we've come to? The media, for the last week has focused more on a young mother's trouble with reality and the court battle over a baby and her overdosing prematurely deceased mother than anything of merit in the world. I don't even care to hear about the war, and all the depressing things there is. But hearing about celebrities and their trials and tribulations isn't any better of an alternative. It's just as depressing...... all the supposed glory and fame that they have and they are still in the same shape as we are.

I don't understand why people say that they (celebrities) deserve all the media attention. They're just trying to make a living. Anyone who has had to deal with an invasion of privacy, whether it was high school rumors or a nosy parent can only imagine the extent of their torment. As is it, I think artists give a lot of themselves away in their work. I know there's been many a time where I felt exposed during acting class. That's part of the thrill: what's being hidden, what's really there. Artists shouldn't have to give any more than that to anyone.

The other day I was editing Psych Online, since I need to focus on that before it gets ahead of me. Most of it's updated but the episode guide still needs to be updated, as does the survey forms. Anyway, I got to a page where Tracy wrote a small blurb about the lack of paparazzi pictures on the site. It made me happy, because I was going to update the site with a "no stalkerazzi" link. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who finds all this repulsive. Snaps for you, Tracy!

All this echoes of a bunch of pictures that surfaced last Christmas of Ewan McGregor leaving someplace with Eve, his wife. It was apparent he'd been Christmas shopping and with his schedule from Guys and Dolls and Scenes of a Sexual Nature, I'm sure he didn't have much time to do even that. I've always loved that Ewan expresses so much with his eyes. And the look in his face in those pictures, he looked so numb. His face was vacant like I'd assume someone would look when they're being violated (which in essence he was) and I remember just being emotionally distraught for him. The guy was just shopping. How is that newsworthy?

I've been against the paparazzi since Diana died, but today's headlines just made me go over the edge.

Just leave them the fck ALONE.

Once I find the Daily News's actual editorial email, they're getting a letter too.
