YULEVID! And TV

So for the past few years I've been really jealous of everyone participating in Yuletide and so bummed out that I don't write and so can't taken part in it. And I've always thought there should be a vid challenge in a similar way. AND NOW THERE IS! [profile] yulevid is the new community that's the vid version of Yuletide where vidders can request and offer to vid rarely vidded fandoms. I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS! I am definitely participating even if it kills me to complete a vid for it. The nice part is everyone will be required to request a movie so there is always a shorter source for someone to vid if they run out of time. The dates are a bit later than Yuletide this year since it's a late start. I encourage everyone to go check out the community which is brainstorming right now and the nomination period for fandoms will start out (probably) next week. And now I don't have to feel sad when I see Yuletide posts because I'm doing it too!

So now I can finally put up my possible nominations like all the writers, yay!

Arrested Development, Better Off Ted, Cupid (1998), Friday Night Lights, How I Met Your Mother, Latter Days, Little Miss Sunshine, Mad Men, Milk, Modern Family, Oz, Rent, Sex and the City, Shelter, Six Feet Under, Slings and Arrows, The Big Bang Theory, The Sopranos, The West Wing, The Wire, United States of Tara

Soooo many shows/movies I'd looove to see more vids to here. I so cannot wait!


I really, really loved this episode. It just had that emotional component that ripped my heart out while still being really funny. Felt so bad for Michael being teased so of course he does a sensitivity training ignoring his behaivor to others. Loved Jim suggesting laughing at himself which was funny but of course Michael being Michael he took it way too far and it became really really sad. Oh, Michael. And then it's revealed that Jim didn't try to help him!! I was so shocked at that. Jim can really be an asshole sometimes. At first I thought he pushed him so at least this was better than that. But I loved that everyone else in the office was pissed too and Oscar making fun of him was HILARIOUS. But Michael handled it so well! It was very sweet of him.

The Pam/Andy part wasn't quite as good but I did like that they finally went along with the baby thing when they realized it would get them sales. A bit mean of Pam to be so definitely not there though. Of course Andy went too far but then he was so sweet with him not wanting to be single. The part with Erin was adorable though. I still want Andy with Oscar but if the writers are too chickenshit to go there, Andy/Erin is cute at least and I do want him to be happy. And I like Erin. So there you go.

Oh and I loved the Halloween opening! So many great costumes. Except Jim. Laaaame.


Oh and my phone FINALLY has an Office ringtone! I've wanted my phone to have one and my past phones have never been able to. It makes me happy whenever I hear it :)


This episode was hilarious! And brilliant. The first two episodes didn't do it for me but this is the 30 Rock I know and love. Loved the message because the Real America crap is such BS. Things I loved:
-San Francisco: The People's Gay Republic of Drugafornia LOL Priceless.
-The Jewish line and meta of the guy tripping (which WAS hilarious, lots of good physical humor tonight) was hilarious (with how 30 Rock is trying to appeal to viewers for ratings-good Arrested Development move)
-Haha nice Halloween/Princeton Parents Day switch
-Hey the woman comedy writer actually gets a bit of screentime alone! No I'm not still bitter that she's ignored...
-BATTLESTAR!!
-Okay the NY jokes are hilarious.


Enjoyed Parks and Recreation which hasn't been that funny for me sadly. But I loooove Leslie and now I adore her cute cop date so I'm sticking with it for now.

On another note, I am SO SO SO EXCITED for Adam's single tomorrow! "For Your Entertainment" is premiering on Ryan Seacrest's show tomorrow starting at 6:55 am PST so I'll have to wake up early for that. I've just been dyyyying to hear it and see how Adam manages to combine electro dance glam pop classic rock and whatever else he's throwing in there with his AMAZING voice of perfection. To finally hear an Adam Lambert song on the radio will be so crazy. After waiting all this time, with so much teasing, it's finally here! I can't even believe it.

And Tuesday I went to the This is It premiere in LA and saw him!! It was so amazing. I hung out behind the red carpet with [profile] dee919 and then all of a sudden I spotted Adam on the big screen and freaked out. They tried to keep us away from the front of the racks but I managed to capture some video footage of Adam doing interviews and at one point we (and some other Adam fans there) shouted at him and he turned and looked at us and ME! Holding my Details magazine hehe. He waved!! It was just so wonderful. Also he did a little dance at one point and was later bobbing his legs along with the music. Too cute! Oh and I saw Chris Colfer, Kurt from Glee too! He was walking towards the theatre and I stopped him and told him I loved him in Glee. The movie was about to start so I didn't ask for video or anything. And then later after the movie which just made me think of Adam getting thoughts on how epic his own tour is going to be, we went downstairs and a few minutes later, Adam was RIGHT NEXT TO US. [profile] dee919 tried to ask for a picture but he was in a rush to get to his car so he said he couldn't. Still we followed him out and it was so surreal to be two feet or so from ADAM FUCKING LAMBERT. I have my video footage up on Youtube here along with my footage from when I went to the Good Morning America concert to see Adam, Kris and David Cook.

Thankfully Kris Allen hasn't been nearly as closeted (ha) with his music and I'm loving the music on his CD! There's short snippets of all his songs which you can hear all together in an mp3 file here and I've had it on repeat a lot in the past couple days. So catchy! I love Written All Over My Face and Can't Stay Away (which he played in Florida, the whole songs are great) the most but the rest of the album sounds super tinhatty to me especially Bring It Back. I'm super excited about his album, it's going to be awesome. November is a very, very good month.
