I've been planning on doing the Top Stuff of 2008 picspam for this month's challenge at picspammy but I haven't done anything yet, and I kind of realized that, hey, there's only a week and a half left in the month, so maybe I should get on that. I'm having issues figuring out what exactly to picspam, though. And with narrowing stuff down. I was thinking of doing favorite episodes of the year, but I'm pretty sure that would take me like a month to go through everything I've watched this year, and I don't remember stuff from earlier this year very well at all. I don't know. I'm probably overthinking this. It's also quite possible that this will be like last month where I plan on doing something all month and then... don't. Except last month I had the excuse of school getting busy, whereas this month I'm just lazy.

Also I have a confession to make: I like 30 Rock, but I don't think it's nearly as brilliant as everyone else seems to. I mean, I keep looking at all these picspams of people's favorite stuff of 2008 and 30 Rock pops up so much and I'm just like "Really?" It's a funny show most of the time, but I just can't get into it. If I missed an episode, I really wouldn't care that much. And people say that this year of The Office isn't good and last year's sucks, and maybe I just put The Office up on a pedestal where it can do no wrong (actually, that's probably very true), but I don't see how this season of 30 Rock has been any funnier than The Office's. =/ Honestly, I laugh way more out loud at The Big Bang Theory than almost any other comedy I'm watching this season, including The Office and HIMYM, and definitely more than 30 Rock. And now I just feel like I'm kind of crazy that I'm not seeing the brilliance in the show. I don't know. Because I do like it, really! I just don't think it's a million times funnier than The Office or How I Met Your Mother or The Big Bang Theory. But maybe that's just me. (Hopefully I haven't alienated everyone on my flist now!)

Speaking of HIMYM, I had this dream last night that when I woke up, I swore it was an actual episode of the show. It was weird. I was like "I know that was a dream, but I totally remember actually watching that episode!" And then as I became more awake, I realized that I was just crazy. I also dreamed that the ants that have invaded my house came into my bedroom and they were everywhere and it was irritating.

How is Christmas already in 4 days? It doesn't feel like December should be more than half over yet.

So yesterday was Warped Tour. It was pretty good. I kind of wish it had been like a month earlier, when I really wanted to go to a concert, or that I had really wanted to go to a concert like a month later, because I think I just wasn't in the right mood to go. I saw The Matches, Yellowcard, part of New Found Glory's set (I really wanted to see Amber Pacific which was at the same time, but I could find the right stage because it was hidden kind of where the exit was so you had to start like you were leaving the place before you could get to it so I just gave up before finding it and saw NFG), Meg & Dia, The Spill Canvas (they were the band I was most excited to see and looking forward to seeing and they were really, really awesome), and Bad Religion. And I also saw a few other bands randomly, but I don't know any of their names. Anyways, it was mostly fun and I'm glad I went. I think right now I'm just more in the mood for smaller concerts. I really wish I could go to the Motion City Soundtrack concert in Anaheim that's in a few weeks but I have no one to go with (and I don't even know if there are tickets left). Oh well. Some other time.

I spent Thursday afternoon watching 30 Rock. It was kind of a spur-of-the-moment decision because I hadn't been planning on watching it, but I saw a couple posts on my flist recommending it and I wanted something I didn't have to wait to watch (and they stream all the episodes on nbc.com for free) and something I could finish quickly because I didn't want to start up The West Wing again since I'd have Warped the next day and I thought I might be preoccupied thinking about that and not focus on the bands and such because I can only obsess over one thing at a time and yeah. So anyways. ( Some thoughts on 30 Rock )

So yeah, anyways, I'll probably be watching 30 Rock next season, especially since they moved it into The Office's timeslot and that kind of messes with my whole system of watching my Thursday night shows, and it makes it a lot easier if I watch it (unless I decide to stop watching My Name Is Earl, but I think I want to keep watching that for a little while).

Not sure what I'm going to do for the rest of today. I said I was going to start watching The West Wing again, but I think I might leave that for tomorrow and instead wait for Doctor Who to finish downloading and... I don't know. Watch a couple movies I've been meaning to watch for a few weeks that I haven't yet? Read a book? We'll see, I guess.
