so how obsessed am i with summerland?!?!?!?!?!?! i frickin love this show!!!! it's just so....i don't know...soap operay????? i mean, it's like the oc or something plus 7th heaven...it's awesome! i love braden's rebellious ways and his difficulty in coming to terms with his parents' death....ava and johnny's strained relationship.....nikki's struggle to find popularity in her new town...and derrick's eternal search for a father figure. i also love how lori loughlin created the series and made herself star in it, zac efron's jacked up teeth, carmen electra's brief guest starring stint, and jesse mccartney's terrible acne during the second season. ah, it's all just so classic. anyway, it's been three years now since summerland was cancelled, and i've almost come to the point where i've seen all 26 episodes (on the n, it's still not out on dvd!!! :( :( :( !!!), so i've been wondering, what have these people been up to since summerland wrapped??? well, here's what i could find.
lori loughlin....aka ava gregory. she's about to be in another wb/cw series, the new 90210!!!!! yay!!!!!
merrin dungey....aka susannah rexford. she's done a lot more tv, including a regular spot on the king of queens and guest roles on grey's anatomy, boston legal and alias.
ryan kwanten....aka jay robertson. he was in flicka (my sister's favorite movie), the horror movie dead silence and the tv show true blood.
jesse mccartney....aka bradin westerly. he's got a new album out (which is surprisingly good) and is dating danity kane's lead singer aubrey o'day. he hasn't done a ton of acting just a few voice over roles.
shawn christian...aka johnny durant. he's been doing a ton of tv, and he usually plays a doctor for some reason. he has a regular spot on days of our lives and has guest starred on runaway, las vegas, boston legal, csi, ghost whisperer and shark. he's in the upcoming summer movie meet dave, which looks incredibly stupid and i definitely will not be seeing.
kay panabaker....aka nikki westerly. she was on phil of the future and in the disney channel original movie read it and weep with her sister, danielle (also on summerland). she's also been on a few episodes of csi, suite life of zac and cody, boston, legal and weeds. she was also in last summer's movie nancy drew as nancy's friend george.
nick benson....aka derrick westerly. he's on this year's new tv show, swingtown, about swingers in the 1970s.....um yeah.
taylor cole...aka erika spalding. she was on numbers, csi and supernatural. she was in the mtv volleyball movie all you've got and has also been in a lot of other movies that i've never heard of, but i wish she would be in more stuff because she's really pretty and i always really liked her on summerland.
zac efron...aka cameron bale. well, zac's been a very busy boy! probably the most successful of all of the summerland alums...he's been in the disney channel's hit movies high school musical and high school musical 2...and will soon be in high school musical 3. he was also in last summer's hit movie hairspray and upcoming movie seventeen again. he's considered the new american hearthrob and is dating disney channel cutie vanessa anne hudgens.
jonathan slavin...aka colby freed. he's done a lot of tv, including inconceivable, grey's anatomy, bones, ugly betty and my name is earl.
jay harrington...aka dr. simon o'keefe, ava's ex-fiance. he's done a bunch of tv as well including the inside, the ghost whisperer, desperate housewives and some tv movies.
danielle savre...aka callie. she played kaya on the shortlived mtv series kaya. she also played jackie wilcox on heroes, and was on malcolm in the middle and the closer. she's also been in a few tv movies and in the land of women and one of the bring it ons.
shelley buckner...aka amber starr, nikki's best friend. she was on the show just for kicks, but other than that she really hasn't done much, but she should, she's a really cute kid and was great on summerland!
jesse head...aka lucas, bradin's friend. he's done lots of tv, like grey's anatomy (who hasn't been on that show????), numbers, weeds, crossing jordan, and my name is earl.
carmen electra...aka mona. after her character died on the show, she's still had plenty to do. movies such as cheaper by the dozen 2, date movie, epic movie, scary movie 4, meet the spartans and others and tv guest star roles on stacked and tripping the rift.
sara paxton...aka sarah borden, bradin's psycho ex-girlfriend who we never really found out what happened to. she was in that terrible movie sydney white as the bitchy president of the sorority, played the role of marnie on return to halloweentown on the disney channel, starred with drake bell in superhero movie and with emma roberts and jojo in aquamarine and was on short lived shows quintuplets and darcy's wild life. she also came out with a single and some songs on various soundtracks.
steve talley...aka bryce, bradin's hot surfer friend. he was in the two latest american pie movies as stifler's younger brother (hahahaha, yeah!) and is in a few upcoming movies.
danielle panabaker....aka faith, bryce's sister. she was in sky high, read it and weep, mr. brooks and yours mine and ours. she is currently on shark as stark's daughter and is in the upcoming remake of friday the 13th.

well, that's really all that matters....i just wanted to do this because there were lots of hotties on summerland and i just wanted to see what they're up to now so i can check out their latest works! :) hope you enjoyed!

Jabberwocky

  • Jul. 3rd, 2008 at 9:13 PM
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought

And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! and through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

"And has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Lewis Carroll


I have absolutely no idea what most of this poem means (and may God have mercy on what's left of my soul if I'm ever called to give definitions for the words!) but for epic swashbuckling nonsense of the best possible kind...I seriously doubt there's another poem or story that can better it.

This might be my favourite poem ever.

doublecolorless9 (1212:29 AM): i just read this article on apathy

doublecolorless9
 (12:12:37 AM):
 i changed how i feel about apathy, can definitely be a good thing

duh

hehe

Just for those who still don't know. (the screen name in red is me)


Apathy (also called impassivity or perfunctoriness) is a state of indifference — where an individual has an absence of interest or concern to certain aspects of emotional, social, or physical life.
Absence or suppression of passion, emotion, or excitement.
Lack of interest in or concern for things that others find moving or exciting.

People should feel this way more often in situations where they'd otherwise be bent. 

Not caring about foolishness reduces stress, and aging. It releases the tension built up in your shoulders and other areas. 

So don't waste anymore time. 
This is critical, people. 
Stop giving a fuck............about everything.

so kit kittredge was amazing. i absolutely LOVED it. it was just so cute!!! and don't let the g rating fool you...this movie has substance! it was funny and actually quite moving...i almost cried about seven times!!!! abigail breslin does an amazing job as usual, so does jane krakowski who looks absolutely beautiful by the way, and even joan cusack who i usually don't really like but she was great in this!!! of course, i loved the clothes and the music and retroness and all but i just think they did a really, really good job of portraying the great depression...it was really moving, imo. it kept me entertained the entire time, there's even a bit of a mystery and you know i love that! oh, and of course, there's eye candy!! max thieriot looks GREAT! and so does chris o'donnell, you probably know him as the vet on grey's anatomy, who plays kit's dad, but he's definitely like the hottest dad everrrr, and he looks way too young to have a college-age son like his character is supposed to, but whatever, he looks good! so whether you're seven, or twenty-five, or eighty, i recommend seeing this movie because it's just incedibly enjoyable...i think the only way you wouldn't enjoy it is if you're a cold-hearted person with no sense of humor or compassion...okay, that was a little harsh because i'm sure there will be some very, very nice people who see this movie and just don't like, but hahaha whatever....anyway, the story, just so you know a little bit more about it, follows margaret mildred "kit" kittredge as she tries to get a story published in the cincinnati (yeah, go ohio!) paper and also help her family and friends out during the depression. her father's car dealership goes under so he leaves for chicago to look for work so kit and her mother take in boarders to make money and the boarders end up being a crazy cast of characters....the kittredges also try to help out some hobo children and kit is constantly defending hobos and poor people in general while the wealthier kids at school hate on them. it was really interesting the way they portrayed the shame that children went through as their families lost their jobs and homes and as others still had money. in lots of other movies and works that i've seen about the great depression, they've just portrayed everyone as poor and destitute but this showed how some families were actually still flourishing and the divide between the rich and the poor and also the different political viewpoints of the time. very interesting. go see it! ah, this makes me want to read the grapes of wrath....i just might do that.

PRIVATE ICON: KIT KITTREDGE
Oh, Abigail Breslin, you've got us in your clutches again.

Back in the day, we used to dress sort of like our favorite American Girl dolls. Okay, not sort of like them-- exactly like them, in matching life-sized outfits from the catalog.

Samantha's sailor get-up and Felicity's colonial ball gown were our favorites-- adorable, but not exactly stuff we can unearth for the NYLON office. So dressing exactly like a time period doll doesn't work, shocker, but maybe trying an inspired translation does.

Tomorrow, Kit Kittredge: An American Girl hits theaters, making it the second summer movie with a covetable wardrobe. (Sorry Kit, Sex and the City was first.)

Kit's 1930's lockets, bib dresses, and cardigans look more designer than doll-like, so we've rounded up a few similar pieces below. And yes, we realize the irony in matching designer fashions to a story about Depression-Era resilience, but hey, don’t pretend you don’t want those APC overalls.
NATALIE MATTHEWS

1. Vintage Olympia typewriter, $475
2. Overall dress, APC, $105
3. Car coat, Marc by Marc Jacobs, $461
4. Botanica bracelet, Juicy Couture, $168
5. Hat, Marc Jacobs, $602
6. Birdie Barrettes, Etsy, $6.50
7. Dandelion Powder, Benefit, $28
8. Mary Janes, A.P.C., $240

ooooo, sexy!!!

Get the vampire lips from Dior Couture without any bloodshed.

The goth, gossamer dresses that Dior Couture sent down Monday's runway might be too much for your bank account to handle, but there's one look you can steal immediately:

The black and beautiful lip color used on all the models.

Though Dior's makeup artists worked for weeks to invent it, you can mix it yourself if you're too impatient for Fall's Dior color counters to change:

Just layer Lancome's dark purple lipstick in "Front Page" with any deep red lip gloss (Wet 'n Wild and Lipsmackers both have good ones under $2) and voila:

You're a Dior vampire, without the couture carnage.

oh, riley, what did you eat now????? we went to the park for a picnic and a walk but he wasn't feeling well and then he barfed so i'm like um, you weirdo dog, what the hell did you eat?!?!?!?! seriously, he eats ridiculous things....mulch, leaves, pine needles, garbage, etc....so i have no idea what it is that he ate now....sigh....that walk would've been nice if he were feeling better! it's such a nice day outside! and orange park is actually a really nice place...well, it's pretty nice...i was just thinking, it's actually really clean, but it just isn't the same as the places in vermont...there's just this feeling i get in vermont like the whole state is incredibly cleanly....i swear i never even saw one single piece of little the entire time we were hiking there...but that doesn't matter now. i'm not there anymore, i'm home, in pepper pike, ohio, so i must get used to the way things are here...again. i saw josie and shawna at the park. there was one other car there and it didn't even register with me that it was josie's car until i saw her and shawna getting into it...go figure...i see people everywhere in this town!!!! also, this town is really weird. i'd forgotten how annoying people are around here. i went to peppermint thai to pick up my lunch (i'm pretty sure they lowered their prices, btw) and i saw some old guys in suits leaving and they were wearing like gucci sunglasses. that's so pepper pike. ah, i'm glad i'm leaving. that's one good thing about get smart...a lot of it took place in dc and i was like omg i'm so excited to go there it's so gorgeous!!!!! i don't know what i'm going to do for the rest of the day...maybe read...but i'd feel funny laying outside because there's like a ton of people here working on random things around the house....there's nothing going on around town tonight, i checked cleveland.com....maybe the family will go see kit kittredge, i really, really want to see that! maybe i'll make dinner again! i made dinner last night...it was grilled tilapia and marinated vegetables with corn chips and bean salsa and a spinach salad with vanilla ice cream and black berries for dessert....i got all the stuff at whole foods...i love that store!!!! and i'm actually surprisingly good at cooking....lol....i think i'm going to work out and watch summerland now....ttyl.

so, what's been going on lately?

  • Jul. 2nd, 2008 at 10:18 AM
i'm a lil behind in the news world...so here's my best shot at playing catch up:

i love leighton meester. great quote: "I'm more a normal person than, like, a fashion girl." - Leighton Meester, in Vanity Fair.

kristen cavallari has been spotted around lately...guess she's making a comeback???...she looks an awful lot like lc if you ask me...hmmm, maybe she's modelling herself after the more successful laguna star?


lindsay lohan and lily allen are going to do a duet....uuuum, two trainwrecks on one track? maybe it will be slurred and they'll pass out during recording....

taylor swift will be on cmt's crossroads with def leppard....ha, that should be interesting...sometimes really good stuff actually comes out of that show.

shannen doherty may very well be joining the cast of the new 90210 reprising her role as the evil brenda....YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

starbucks is closing 500 stores.....aaaaah! it's going to be even harder to find coffee now?!?!?! the horror!

courtney love has been spotted an awful lot around los angeles lately....maybe she should go into hiding....because seriously, what the fuck is she doing???? courtney, get your act together and release a new album! you're seriously talented, but i can't keep sticking up for you when you're behaving so strangely!!!!



sometimes i just wish i was paris hilton...because of this....

a stack of $100 bills...seriously paris?? gosh....but then i remember why i'm lucky i'm not paris hilton...especially when i'm in the middle of nowhere in upstate new york and there's a sign on the side of the highway for an adult film store that says "paris hilton sex tape sold here!" yeah, i'm glad i'm not paris hilton.....apparently blake lively is glad she's not paris hilton either...from popsugar: Even Vanity Fair cover girls have to put in time at work, and Blake Lively did just that on the set of Gossip Girl in NY today. While her character Serena has a rebellious streak, Blake wants the world to know that she's no party girl in real life. She told Seventeen Magazine that she doesn't appreciate being compared to Paris Hilton, saying, "Since I have a dog and blond hair, that must mean we're alike. It's a dumb thing to say. I don't think that makes us similar. I don't know her, but I don't like being compared to anyone by somebody who doesn't know me. I'm my own person. I don't go to clubs, I don't party, I don't dance on tables and I don't like sex tapes." We agree that the two blondes couldn't seem more different and we hope Blake stays cute rather than heading down the wrong road, as she gets more and more famous.

random but...i'm watching summerland and it's an episode with simon rex (hottie!) and christy carlson romano where she's playing like an uber-bitch pop star....whatever happened to that girl anyway???? i don't really care, she was kind of lame, i'm just wondering...

heidi montag recently compared herself to jesus. i'm not even going there....

helena bonham carter is quite possibly joining the cast of the terminator 4....i'll probably be seeing that now...but i still have one thing to say about the terminator series....BRING BACK EDWARD FURLONG!!!!!

jason schwartzman is going to be in a new hbo show called bored to death....too bad i don't get hbo...

um, how excited am i getting for the n's new show queen bees?????? it looks AWESOME!!! and yoanna house is hosting it (she's looking good!) and perez is on it! YAY!

robert buckley's looking sexy in the city!


ryan phillippe and abbie cornish spotted out together....well, his exwife certainly had better fashion sense...



ryan gosling looking yummy (i know, i'm so weird...) in nyc.


the stars of the new flick mamma mia strutted their stuff at a premiere a few nights ago...amanda seyfried is so adorable!!!!




k, well that's all for now!

i'm still skeptical.

so i was pumped about chloe sevigny's fashion line when i first heard about it...then i saw it and i was like hmmmm, maybe not so much....anyway, apparently it's still out there and still getting buzz...here's the latest from fashionista:

Chloe Sevigny: Still Kickin
Jul 02, 2008 @ 10:01am
There is life yet for Chloe Sevigny's Opening Ceremony collection.

While on Topshop, we came across their new Post-War Precision collection (originally called the Valerie Collection, though we don't know why they changed the name). Topshop describes it as "1950s pin-up styling with a rockabilly twist", but between the checkered pieces, acid wash jean jacket and ditsy floral print dresses we thought "We Wish We Were Chloe Sevigny" would have been a more apt description.

Just take a gander at these high-wasted checked pants. Remind you of anything? We thought so. Similarily, this blouse by Topshop is almost an exact replica of one Chloe turned out for Opening Ceremony (although in the picture it's shown in floral, Chloe also made one in basic white), one of the more wearable pieces of the collection. And these tiny floral printed shorts are very reminiscent of Chloe's floral skirt. Topshop even went as far as a floral bustier, one of the more signature pieces from Chloe's collection (ps. we're still not sure who's buying these). [Editor's note: Natalie loves Chloe's floral bustier!]

The Topshop stuff is actually really cute (thankfully, they stayed away from midriff baring tops) but our reaction was overshadowed by the same sneaking suspicion we had when we tried the items on last March in Opening Ceremony, or maybe it was last April and at Urban Outfitters. Either way, we're wondering why, amidst less than positive reviews, the Sevigny collection has had such a strong influence on retailers.

Perhaps Chloe was on to something, but it's a shame her designs are being copied more often than worn.

once again, sorry for the lack of posting....it's summer, it's nice outside, i just got home, i've been busy.

anyway, i don't really have a lot of time right now because i'm about to take my car in for service.

so let's just talk about the movies i've seen lately.....

i saw get smart two days ago. it was so bad that i was going to leave about 30 minutes into it but i stayed because i paid for the ticket and wanted to give it a chance to get better, but sadly, it never did. steve carell if a funny guy but he just needs to start making better movies...i mean evan almighty....dan in real life....and now this????? please. it's like he's gone all kid friendly and we'll never get anything as funny as the 40 year old virgin ever again. anyway, anne hathaway looked good and i love dwayne johnson i think he's really hot and he's a surpisingly good actor, and of course i love the little fat dude from borat, but the movie was still ridiculous. the one thing i really did like about the movie was anne hathaway's clothes, so i might do an inspired by article soon, and most of the movie took place in russia so i got a full dose of russian men and you know how much i love them! there were some old ugly guys but there were also some insane hotties, in particular the farm boy in the scene where they parachute in....but still, the movie was terrible and i eventually left and got my ears pierced.

yesterday i saw hancock. it was better than i expected, to be honest. it's actually kind of slow to start out, but there's a huge plot twist which makes the movie a lot more exciting. will smith was really good and charlize theron looked great and i always love jason bateman. you should definitely see hancock if you get a chance. i'm not sure if it's for everyone, though. it's not getting the best reviews. i mean, it is a little gritty and stuff because at the beginning hancock is like a drunk and a bum but it gets better. also, if you get motion sickness don't see it because most of the shots are handhelds. it's pretty good though, enjoyable, and pretty appropriate for kids.

k, that's all, i gotta go....byyyyyye.

my my how can i resist you?

  • Jul. 2nd, 2008 at 6:01 PM
The first time I saw the ad for Mamma Mia! (exclamation point!) I thought, lame. LAME. Lamey McLamerson with extra cheese.

But then.. when I saw the ads and the first infectious (INFECTIOUS) strains of "Mamma Mia" started seeping into my brain, I thought "Wow. It's so colourful... but I do have that hatred of ABBA songs due to hearing them at every school social from years 3 - 9."

And then the next time... "Pierce Brosnan is looking pr-etty fine still. Oh, hellooo Colin Firth. Why am I not in situations where a possible father for my baby is not out of men who look like Pierce Brosnan & Colin Firth?"

And then the next time I was just exhausted from having babysat Rosemary's baby (seriously, I cannot believe I have spent about two months babysitting this kid without resorting to a Homer/Bart kind of stranglehold. Ah, the things one will do to afford goodies from Melbourne) and I just was seduced by all the colour and glitter and I got 'cheesy' and 'cute' confused in my brain and now my mind has turned to goo and I am just a big pile of Greek weddings & "Dancing Queen". SEND HELP IMMEDIATELY.

...or see if maybe it is just the seduction of the musical?



This might also be due to the fact that I have a horrible cold (courtesy of the kids I look after) and am just miserable and surviving off a diet of salt & vinegar chips, lemonade, and Alka-Seltzer. 

Also: did anyone else notice that the daughter in this is Karen from Mean Girls? She looks sooo different with a fake tan and when she's acting sweet & innocent instead of flaky & bitchy.


 

Interests

  • Jul. 1st, 2008 at 9:34 PM
 This is a fun game a new LJ friend of mine suggest I do. So here it goes. 

Comment on this post and I will choose seven interests from your profile. You will then explain what they mean and why you are interested in them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so that others can play along. If you don't want to play just say so in your comment. If anyone even comments...

1. 1990's 

The 1990s was the best decade I was ever fortunate enough to live through. We had a good economy back then, no ever lasting Iraq war, no crappy reality television. Comedians like Howie Mandell were still relevant and funny. Nickelodeon didn't suck like it does now. Neither did Disney or Cartoon Network. In the 1990s I was addicted to video games, and could play them all day and all night and not be bored sitff. In the 1990s my grandmother wasn't as messed up as she is now. More of my relatives were still alive. In the 1990s my best friend "redneck Tom" and I would hang out everyday and destroy stuff, and make noise, and piss off our neighbors who eventually got used to it. In the 1990s the people I grew up with didn't commit crimes and go to jail, or fuck around and get pregnant. Things were simple and convenient. Tupac was around for a little while. Rap music still had a meaning for part of the 1990s. In the 1990s I came across fewer people that were assholes then I do on a weekly basis now.

2. battling evil

It's basically a never ending job. I'm a part time superhero.

3. pineapples

It's a fruit. It's juicy and tastes awesome. I love it. I could eat it for the rest of my life over any other food product.  

4. people named jo(h)n

John was my first friend on LJ, and my longest internet friend until he disappeared in 2006, and then we all found out he wasn't real. I was obsessed with him. He made fun of everything, and was so smart, and insightful, and compassionate. If he were real he could have been like George Carlin.

5. anti-bush

I'm anti President Bush. He is an embarrassment and we're all sick of him.

6. forests

Yeah I walk alone in the woods sometimes when I wanna get away from people and bullshit. I like forests because they are peaceful and quiet, and if you wanna light something on fire, or blow something up, you can in a forest. Nobody can hear anything who isn't there with you. Hehe.

7. the specials

The Specials are a ska band from the 1970s era, but are still active today. They are from England, and one of their songs "Pressure Drop" was in An Extremely Goofy Movie. That's where I discovered them.

Happy Thunderstorms

So to so many people body hair at the beach is unattractive. People said that if I went to the beach I'd have to shave my stomach and chest. Well fuck that. I'll just keep my shirt on and walk around aimlessly like I don't know anybody, and act like I'm too cool to build sand castles and jump in the water. Hah! My pregnant cousin wants to go to the beach. Me, her, her boyfriend Kenny, and a few other people. If only I had my car. I would love to go. 

Thunder storms are coming. I'm so excited. I can't wait for the 50 mph winds and puring rain. But until the storm comes it's a beautiful day outside. Sunny, warm, people are jogging and running and walking their dogs. It's beautiful. There was a police chase just now going on with four cops on motorcycles. It was hot. I haven't seen any bees which I am deathly afraid of. It's gonna be a good day. 

I wanna ride my bike in the storm so bad. I might just do that. I should call Catholic Joe and see if he wants to join me. He's been awful quiet since school got out fo him. I wonder what the heck he is up to. Probably baseball, since he is obsessed with that sport. He and I should form our own baseball team for our town, and recruit players. After all he is the best hitter I've ever seen, and I'm the best pitcher he's ever seen he says. I don't think I'm the best, but I do love throwing things. 

I am loving this song. Seriously The Pillows just keep getting better. This song is called New Animal and it's from The Pillow's newest album Pied Piper. It's the bomb. So last night I was up until 5am sending songs from my Ipod to a friend online. I hoped that they all mad her feel better. She was going through a hard time. I always find that music helps. It's the best medicine for whatever pain a person is in. 

Which is why I am pro-file sharing. Music to me is more valuable than currency. Yes. More valuable. 

And more good news. My friend Rob is getting out of the children's home he's been staying at for the past year. We're gonna be hanging out in August!!! Hell yeah! We can work together to find Mike! He and Mike were friends too. They lived together in the same group home before Mike got sent away. 

I think we can do this. I told Mike before I graduated and then
