Okay, you have to be really into the show to fully appreciate this scene and it's impossible to explain, but this guy pretty much messed up Rory's (this girl's) life for a while in this show and this phone call was like her getting back at him in a way. Again, you have to like the show to get it.

Monkey Monkey Underpants.
So my week was pretty good. I got a 93 on my genetics test in bio and definitely happy about it. Oh, and since so many people failed, he's letting us correct our mistakes for extra credit, so I may have a 95 after that.
We finished reading Romeo and Juliet in English the other day. I can rant for a century about that play but for the reader's digest version, Juliet is an idiot for drinking the potion, Romeo is an annoying whiner, and Friar Lawrence is almost entirely responsible for their death by concocting the ridiculous plan. I mean, he left self-admittedly suicidal Juliet alone with her dead husband and a knife. Gah that bugs me.
Even though this Gilmore Girls scene is from the disaster called season 7, the monkey monkey underpants rant is funny. I like episodes with Gigi, too. There aren't very many.

Easter and Across the Universe
I watched Across the Universe this weekend. Great movie, one of the most creative ones I've seen in a long time.
^Bowling alley scene "I've Just Seen a Face" (the real song name) or I call it "Fallen." Love this one.
Happy Belated Easter to anyone who celebrates it! My Easter was a lot of fun. We made an Easter egg hunt for the little kids, then we let them re-hide the eggs for us. It's really cool to see how excited they were about it. Makes me remember how excited I used to get when I was young, how little things like that felt like magic.
Seriously, go watch Across the Universe and tell me it's not genius.

More Gilmore Girls
Another Gilmore Girls clip. The funniest conversations on this show are at the "friday night dinners."
Sweet Niblets! My week has been boring.
Speaking of sweet niblets, I saw a Hannah Montana Magic 8 Ball in Toys R Us the other day. No, your not going blind. I really did say "Hannah Montana Macig 8 Ball." It's peppered with cutesy annoying phrases like "Sweet niblets, no!" and "spotlight on yes." There was a High School Musical one there, too, but the "sweet niblets, no" thing made this the highlight of my afternoon.
When I was about six, my dad would always paly this Dawson's Creek (ya know, the TV show) soundtrack CD in the car whenever we went to Disney World. I remember he used to play the same song over and over. I heard that song on the radio the other day and had a sudden urge to find the CD. I have no idea who bought it in the first place or why we had it (my parents didn't watch that show, and I thought it was a band until last year) I found it yesterday in the back of our old CD cabinet, kind of faded. Like the dork that I am, I imported it to my iPod. Hey, it's a childhood memory now.
One of my favorite clips from my favorite show ever, Gilmore Girls. Where did all the anvils go?

Leap Year!
Hello, everyone, today is February 29, 2008. Yes, I said February 29.
I just realized this morning that this year is a leap year, so...
HAPPY LEAP DAY, EVERYBODY!!!!!
I think some people call it Sadie Hawkins Day or something, but I refuse to acknowledge that kind of backwards thinking. Girls get to ask out guys one day every four years? On top of that, we have dances to celebrate it? Oh, sure, let's celebrate the oppression of women and the men who dominate! Woohoo!
On a more positive note, let's all enjoy the last hour of leap day while it's here since we only get one every four years. This is my fifth leap year but only my fourth leap day. Call me a total loser, but I'm excited! I wrote "LEAP DAY!!" next to the date on all my papers in school today. ^_^
Happy birthday to anyone born on leap day! February 29 is the coolest day to have a birthday.
No interesting news to share, and it's 11:30 at night so I don't feel like video hunting. I'll post some new videos tomorrow when I'm once again able to hold my own head up. I hope everybody had a good leap day!

The Black Rubik's Cube!!
Today was a good day in Julie land--today was the day I finally got my hands on one of those black and gray Rubik's cubes. I think they're called grayscale, actually. Anyway, this guy in my math class brings it in everyday, but I've never gotten to play with it. Today this guy wanted me to solve it for him so he could tell people he solved it himself. Of course I jumped at the occasion to solve the grayscale cube--a momentous occasion.
My biology teacher moved my friend away from me =[ not for anything she did but because he needed to switch her with this other guy who talks a lot. I have a story about him, but I don't want to say his name, so I'm going to call him John.
Coincidentally, I had a dream last night that my bio teacher moved me to the back of the room. Next to me on one side was a swirling vortex, and on the other side was a dead, bloody chicken head on a silver plate. I asked what the chicken head was about, and my teacher told me it was John. I said "That's not John--that's a chicken head!" Then this girl said "What a mean thing to say to John." I protested, but my teacher just said "If you call John names one more time, I'll push you down the vortex." I think I ended up falling down it anyway. Weird premonition--I think my friend's getting moved back. It's in negotiation. Chickenhead is not going to want to have a permanent seat next to me anyway.
Proof of how terrible you can make something look in only ten minutes on paint! No video ideas right now, but I might think of something and post it later.
