Pocky Men's Part 2

Here's a Pocky Men's commercial update. The gift that keeps on giving.

Look Alikes

Here's some people I think look like each other. Why? Because I want to. Shut up, this is my blog and I'll do whatever the hell I want.

1. Let's start with an obvious one. Zooey Deschanel and Katy Perry. Yeah, I know you've already heard this one a thousand times, but holy crap there was a month where I thought that there was just one girl with 2 names. "Is Zooey like her stage name or something?" (Yeah I heard of Katy Perry first, sue me).

They really are different people, swear to Jeebus. Here's a pic to prove it:

Told ya.


2. I ALWAYS mix up Jake Gyllenhaal and Toby Maguire (who's name I almost spelled Toby McGuire btw). And apparently I'm not the only one who thinks they look alike, since they recently got cast in a movie where they play brothers. Called Brothers.


For some reason I am really compelled to see this film, and I'm not sure why. I'm not especially attracted to Natalie Portman, so that can't be it. And really, other than hot girls, what reason is there to watch movies?


3. Jodie Foster and Helen Hunt. I have always, ALWAYS mixed up these too. They got a little easier to identify after Jodie came out, and I started stalking her every move. But really, they look like twins, am I wrong?



4. Okay, so most of the others are probably old news, but here's one that I've never heard mentioned by anyone other than myself. Call me crazy, but don't you think that Kiera Knightly, and a young Freaks and Geeks John Francis Daley look eerily similar? Woah.


This is a little bit of a problem for me, since I am incredibly attracted to Kiera. Does this mean I like people who look like prepubescent boys? Help! I need therapy stat. Oh wait, I'm already in therapy.

Pocky Men's

I went to the Asian grocery store today to do some last-minute xmas shopping. Then I found this.

Ahahahahahaha. Win.

XENA

So.... I've been watching a TON of X:WP lately. That's Xena: Warrior Princess for you non-xenites. Really no one knows about my Xena obsession because, a. I'm kind of a secretive person to begin with, and b. I'm pretty embarrassed about it. Xena is a pretty mediocre piece of television, with lots of contrived plot devices and slapstick acting. So why am I an obsessed super fan? Two reason.

1. Lucy Lawless

Hominahominahomina. Holy crap Lucy is beautiful. Piercing eyes, hot athletic build, crazy comedy skillz. Any show that's 90% me getting to watch a beautiful woman tramp around with a giant sword in a leather and brass getup is okay by me.

2. Lesbeens


Well, so I believe I first heard about the lesbian element of Xena through a Simpson's episode, and then of course went on to further explore it myself. Apparently, there was a little something called "subtext" that lesbians had picked up on in the show. While it wasn't explicitly gey, I guess the lady lovin ladies had found something about the princess and the bard that seemed a to cross the "platonic friendship" boundary. This news didn't really excite me at first. My initial response: "Pshhh, whatever. Lesbians always look for "subtext" that doesn't really exist. It's just a coping mechanism. We don't have many characters on tv that represent us, so we just project our internal yearings onto characters who will always break our hearts and get married off to dashing young men."

Then I watched the show. Holy shamoly. It's so gay that I got it studded wristcuffs for xmas. The looks. The "I love you"s. The hugs. The fact that neither of them ever enter into any sort of long-term relationship at any point during the show. The innuendo. And they kiss! Like on the lips! Seriously, there must be about 5 full or partial lip-kisses throughout the whole series. There's also naked jacuzzi baths, and boob grabs, and the calling each other "soul mates." God I wish I had a friend like that.

I haven't watched all of Xena, because honestly, I only watch it for the Xena/Gab shipping, and there's not enough of it in most of the eppys. 8 mins of watching a Lawless stunt double faux-kick a row of baddies in the head is 7 1/2 mins too much for me, and unfortunately that's what a lot of the episodes consist of.

"You haven't watched all of the episodes?" You say. "Well then what right do you have to call yourself a superfan?" Well, invisible reader, not only do I watch the show, I also look up commentaries from the actors online. I also watch fan-vids on youtube. I also check episode guides to see which episodes are most subtext-heavy. I also frequent a blog called LOLXena. Yeah it's nerdy, and I'm not super proud of it. However, I need to fufill my lesbotic needs somewhere, and if I'm not getting them filled IRL, and the only lesbians on TV are "Oooh, stare at me harded" neurotic and sexless Callie and Arizona from Grey's, then I have to go somewhere. And apparently that somewhere is a campy medevail nerdfest called Xena: Warrior Princess.

So in conclusion, someone find me a girlfriend (preferrably Lucy Lawless's long lost lesbian twin), so that I can get back to reality, and stop trying to scour the web for any small scrap of Xena/Gabby lezzy smirks and boob brushes I can get my eyes on. Please donate today.

Well obviously I haven't been posting a lot recently. And there's a good reason for that. I'm a hopeless slacker who has zero motivation, and is destined for life on the curbside. Heh. Seriously, my plan is to be a writer. Yikes. I'm gonna be one of those writers who can never get past a flowery introduction and exposition. I think I'm Alice from "The World According to Garp," the lisping writer who has a way with words, but can never finish a novel.


Yeah, so anyway, why am i writing now you ask? Well, vast hole of interspace, I'm home for break. And that means I'm bored. It's 2 am, and no one's up, and recently I haven't been going to bed until around 4 in the morn. All of the websites and online comics that I follow are either lacking in updates, or have already been picked over by my scaveging eyes. So no more finals, yay! But no more friends either, boo.

So, update, I'm sick. No, it's not the swine, just a cold. I think. I know that's not the most super interesting news you've ever heard, but if ya don't like it, don't read it! Oh, guess everyone's already taking that advice...


Well I'm trying to figure out how to post images to the web without infringing on other people's rights. So here's a smokin' pic of the j con that I captured off the web with grab, and then converted to a JPEG. It took awhile, and I'm assuming that there's an easier (read: quicker) way to do this, but I don't know what it is, so... I guess this will be what I'm doing. Clearly I haven't been keeping up with posts, and part of the reason is that I don't know what the hell I'm doing. I'm slightly computer illetirate, so this is my best. Video? faggettaboutit.

How do you meet people?


Seriously, how do you make friends? Like if you start with 0 friends how do you meet new people? Or if you hate your friends, how do you search for new ones? I'm excrutiatingly bad at these things and I could really use some advice.
