it was also constitution day

Whew, it's past midnight, so my birthday is officially over! Except I'm still 35. DAMMIT. Anyhoo, many, many thanks for all the birthday wishes. I had dinner with [livejournal.com profile] oeilade at one of my favorite Italian restaurants and then dessert at Max Brenner, where I got this RIDONKULOUS dessert of cake and ice cream and whipped cream and bananas and sprinkles and toffee cream and chocolate sauce and...it was frickin' huge, OMG. [livejournal.com profile] oeilade took a picture, if she sends it to me, I will have to upload. And the waitress saw me opening presents and took it upon herself to bring over a piece of chocolate with a candle and do the whole singing thing. Oy.

I just wanted to do something simple tonight (group dinner is Friday) because I was excited to get home and watch the premiere of Prison Break.

Ah, Wentworth. I have missed your pretty face. And I have missed the PB crackitude as well.

Well, that was entertaining, and yet, I'm not sure how much I can take of that dirty dirty prison with dirty dirty...everything. Eeeek. I am sure the Panamanian tourist board, if there is one, is loving this depiction of their penal system. Poor Michael is so in over his head -- it's all way too raw and brutal for him, the poor pretty thing. Also, I love when Michael being hot is a plot point. Ha.

I really did not ever need to see Bellick in tighty-whities, let alone for an entire episode and for god knows how many more. Poor Wade. It's a living, I guess! Loved T-Bag getting right in there as soon as he figured out who the power was. Can't wait for the inevitable manipulation and betrayal, there. And Mahone going through the DTs on top of everything else. I love that Michael is in there with his three least favorite people in the world, LOL.

The fight was BADASS. Classic Prison Break. When Mahone snapped that guy's neck? DAMN. And had every right to do it because of the knife. Genius. But he didn't even FLINCH. Oh, crack. *happy sigh*

I thought that the Company or whoever just wanted Michael to go to Sona so they could see if he COULD break out, like, to study him and stuff, so who knew there was a real purpose? He has to break out the Count of Monte Cristo or something, apparently. I hope he becomes Bellick's Miyagi or something. "Wax on, wax off, here's a piece of rat."

And I am looking forward to seeing what Lincoln will get to do now that the repetitive "Please let my brother out of jail/Where's Sara" stuff is done. I didn't like the "hot" chick at all, but the Panamanian chick has promise. We'll see. The bit with the jacket at the restaurant was HILARIOUS. Lincoln doesn't wear jackets -- he doesn't even wear collars! Haven't you SEEN this show? Geez.

The Sara stuff makes me too upset, I can't even talk about it. Wibble.

I'm still not as excited as I had been about the season thanks to the casting spoiler of doom, but I'm definitely interested in seeing where things go, and can't imagine I won't enjoy the ride.

As if that wasn't enough, Bradley Whitford was on Living With Ed! He came over to Ed Begley Jr.'s house to check out the green living. He was so weird and adorable, barking at their dog and being uncomfortable at their marital squabbles and buying Ed a chair. And when they looked at the "engine" of the electric truck, Brad lifted the hood and his shirt rode up a little bit. That was my favorite part. He also wore his sunglasses on his forehead Danny Tripp-style, which was a bit disorienting. Sigh. Love that man.

And The Hills was catty-tastic. Meow. Also, it's disturbing when the most mature person in an episode is arguably Jason. Also also, Elodie was awesome tonight. BURN.

Speaking of The Hills, Lauren's fashion line is now live. Simple, but pretty, and quite reasonably priced, all things considered.

I TiVoed K-Ville but didn't have time to watch it tonight. I have to assume it's doomed, but since they're actually filming in New Orleans I want to check it out.

Happy Birthday (a few minutes late now) [livejournal.com profile] kirbyfest! You have a good birth date. :D

Bradley barked at their dog? Awesome! (Weird, but awesome.)

[identity profile] dianora2.livejournal.com 2007-09-18 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
Just one bark. *g* He then informed Ed that his dog was "full of rage" in that dry Brad manner. It was really funny.

The thing that's awesome about Brad Whitford, is that you know, sometimes everyone wants to bark back. Just not everyone does it.

Must see Brad clip sooon.

I'm glad you had an awesome birthday! Everyone deserves one. And wait! You're 35?! Seriously, I had you pegged for not more than 25.

Thanks!

I'm really 35. I only ACT like I'm 25. *g*

I found the line by girl from The Hills overpriced for what seems to be unoriginal and not particularly well-made basics. Also, not flattering on anyone but cokewhores. :)

ALSO HAPPY BIRTHDAY OMFG!!! *squishes*

[identity profile] dianora2.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Heh. Well, I meant reasonably priced in the grand scheme of designer stuff, like when you go into a random boutique and there's a top by a designer you've never heard of going for $279. Seriously, WTF. And yeah, I think the models look really cute in the outfits, but can't imagine my particular body in them. Sigh.

And thanks!

Not so much so far, unfortunately, but hopefully things will get better. :) Thank you.

I was not really as psyched about Prison Break as I thought I would be. Probably because I just miss Sara. It's going to have to be really, really good this year to keep me watching, if Sarah doesn't come back.

Sigh. I know. I'm hoping against hope that things work out somehow.

Happy birthday! (I didn't forget, I was too sick to do anything more than sneer at the television and let the cats sleep on me)

And you're 35 like I'm 39. *nods firmly*

I totally noticed the shirt riding up bit, too! That and the way he was sitting in the chair when Ed opened the door were HAWT. The barking at the dog, his face when he was told he really did have to compost the apple core and many other things made me laugh. Oh Bradley, how I've missed you.

[identity profile] dianora2.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
He is just so adorkable and awesome. I need him back on my TV in the worst way. When is he going to be on Real Time again dammit?

I figured that of anyone on my f-list, you would appreciate this. I'm interning at a media non-profit in DC this fall. Yesterday I was going through files trying to locate this obscure memo which basically required me to open and close every file in our archives until I found what I was looking for. And what do I come across?

A memo to Bradley Whitford on a public interest thing that he spoke to the Senate about.

*GAH*

If only I'd been here when we worked with him.

Hi Dia! Wishing you a happy belated birthday, because I was working on something for you, but I sorta konked out last night before I finished it. (Damn pesky virus.) Anyway! Glad you had a good time out celebrating. :) And here is my crazy idea of what constitutes a present. I hope you'll still speak to me after this.




The Future Civilan Leader Lee Adama Rap Song


'Not a civilization but a gang'
He's the master of harangue
But with those muscles of tautness
legislatin’ with hotness,
I’m sure we’d all agree
to say: “Command me, Lee!”
And if he could occasionally please
orate sans any sleeves
the temperature’d rise
by four thousand degrees

I don’t care what Roslin says
we want Lee as our prez
pinstripes and scruff—
we just can’t get enough!
A crusader for justice
with principled toughness
He always will floor us
for lovin’ habeas corpus!

Lee doesn’t just rock the fair trials
he does it with style
he’s got a thousand new recruits
in the Fanclub of the Suit
But if his popularity should wane
for his smarts or his charms
He’ll just shrug and proclaim
“But look at my arms!”


FOR A BRIGHT AND PRETTY FUTURE
ELECT LEE.

He scolds so bold
’cause the people need to be told.

PEACE.

[identity profile] dianora2.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
OMG THIS IS AWESOME. And I so, so needed this today. Thank you.

He’ll just shrug and proclaim
“But look at my arms!”


Heeeee. I am hearing this in an old school Will Smith voice.

He scolds so bold
’cause the people need to be told.


IT'S AWESOME 'CAUSE IT'S TRUE.

You rock so much. Thank you!!

I watched 10 minutes of K-Ville before deciding it was too bad to keep watching.

That's okay. I already have too many Monday shows planned for my fall watching, anyway.

[identity profile] dianora2.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
I watched it and was very undecided on it. It did get better as it went along. I don't know, it's going to depend on whether or not anything else is on opposite, I think.

Hey! Happy belated birthday! I was totally going to post a birthday wish for you, but I'm having this whole laptop issue where the hinges don't work and it's constantly flopping closed, and it makes it very difficult to type for more than four consecutive seconds. Anyway, happy 35th! As others have mentioned, you don't look a day over 23. :)

How much do you love that Lauren named all her clothes after her BFFs? <3 On the Tyra Banks show, Tyra was like, "Hey, where's the Heidi dress?" and Lauren was like, "Yeah, must have forgotten that one." She was wearing her Whitney dress on the show, and Whitney was there modeling another dress. And there is a Lo and an Audrina! Aww.

[identity profile] dianora2.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
Awww, thanks! And I do take some comfort in the fact that I do look young for my age, it's true. *g*

It's so cute re: the clothes. She should purposely design something really ugly and slutty and call that the Heidi.
