Yesterday was fun. Hung out with Jackie, Emma, Soan, Justin, Ariel, Jessica, and the trombone who's not Caroline who's name I can't spell (Hari? Hori? Something like that.) at Del Taco, and then went to the football game. That wasn't quite as fun, but it was more enjoyable than the ones freshman year. The show was kind of a disaster, but eh. We did only learn the last few pages Wednesday, and we've never run first movement straight to second, so it could've been worse. After the game, I went to Lee's Sandwiches and met up with Annie. More people were supposed to come, but the only ones that did were Soan and then a bunch of people I'm not really friends with. But it was great being able to see Annie. :)

This morning was the ACT. All the sections except the essay were so much easier than the SAT. Seriously, if you're a junior/senior, take the ACT. I mean, take the SAT too, if you want (I'm planning to), but... take the ACT just to see. Because I know Richard said he got a way better ACT score than SAT score, and it's a lot less painful test to take. The essay sucked, though, because it was like... more specific, and I wasn't prepared for that sort of essay. I think I did really horribly on it, actually. I don't think my examples had anything to do with what I was supposed to say. And I remembered I was going to say something else at the end, but I forgot about it until our time was up. blah. At the end the person was saying when we'd get our scores, and she was all "They should be mailed in about 47 weeks" and I was all "...uh... wait a sec...?" And then someone asked her and she was all "What? No! I didn't say 47! I said 2 to 4!" And I would've understood if she said 4 to 7 because that sounds like 47, but I don't know where the seven came from when she was saying 2 to 4. But. Anyways.

I heard Friday morning on KROQ that Head Cases has already been cancelled. It's a little disappointing because I did like the show, but I wasn't incredibly invested in it, and I already have both Veronica Mars and Lost to watch Wednesdays at 9. But still, after only 2 episodes? geez. And I thought cancelling Wonderfalls after 4 was bad (though Wonderfalls > Head Cases).

So yeah, I've decided for sure that I'm just going to do the seminar project this weekend. Then I'll give it to Seher Monday and she can tell me if there's anything she wants to add/change, and we can maybe talk about how to present it if we have time. The only thing I'm afraid of is that she may do it all herself, too. But that's ok. We can just choose whoever's is better and use that. In any case, I'd rather get it done with and let her take all the credit than just leaving it and hoping something works out that we could work on it on Monday.

Televison-y stuff!

My Name is Earl )

The O.C. )

Reunion )

I watched last night's episode of Head Cases, but I don't really have anything to say about it. I liked it, though, so I'll continue downloading it once Veronica Mars starts airing again (less than a week! Also less than a week until my first essay of the year. bah).

I also saw the premiere of Everybody Hates Chris, but nothing much to say. I liked it fairly well (more than How I Met Your Mother), so I'll keep watching it.

Also, can I just say that I'm really loving that more comedies are going with the no-laugh track, not just on like the same sets sort of style? Like Arrested Development. After watching AD, I grew to hate the laugh track and all the traditional sitcom styles (which is one reason How I Met Your Mother kind of puts me off). So, I'm really happy to see that both My Name is Earl and Everbody Hates Chris are both in the more Arrested Development style rather than... Friends, for example.

Me: [to mom] I wanted to check the balance on my debit card, 'cause I also just pre-ordered something else, and--
Dad: What did you pre-order?
Me: The soundtrack to Veronica Mars.
Dad: Veronica Mars?
Me: [defensively] It has really great music!
Dad: Name something.
Me: You know that song "We Used to be Friends"? It's by the Dandy Warhols, and it came up twice on my iPod to and from Mammoth last spring, and both of you said you liked it several times?
Dad: ...yeah?
Me: It's the theme song.
Dad: Oh. Well, ok, then.

...heh. That amused me. Yeah, so, for a little while I was hesitant about using the card, because like... half of me wants to use it all at once, so the other half is all "NO DON'T USE ANYTHING NOW OR YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO STOP", but I finally ended up buying the first season of Firefly on DVD. This is because I don't want to have to wait too long after Serenity comes out to see it, and downloading it's annoying. Plus, I've been meaning to buy the set since I saw the first episode, but ever since I started watching it, the set has completely disappeared from Barnes and Noble. Then after I ordered that, I started putting together a wishlist and marking what I already own, and then Veronica Mars soundtrack came up, so I instantly pre-ordered that. So, yay for new stuff! Firefly S1 should arrive next Saturday, it says, which is good, because then I can watch the last few eps I haven't seen yet that night and Serenity comes out the following weekend. Perfect timing.

I watched the pilot of Head Cases tonight, and I really liked it. Unfortunately, it's up against both Lost and Veronica Mars, so I'm going to be resigned to downloading it. Oh well.
