Yesterday, saw Warm Bodies with [personal profile] adelagia and [personal profile] slitherhither. :D It was cute, about what you'd expect from the trailer. Not exactly a "realistic" take on the zombie apocalypse, that's for sure. Soooooooo many questions. But that's really not the point of this movie, so. I liked the actress, Teresa Palmer, who I've never seen or heard of before, though I guess she's done quite a bit. She's like a cross between Hayden Panettiere and Kristen Stewart, to me.

I may have gotten [profile] jade_okelani into New Girl. Eeeeeee!! Actually she gave the show a lot of chances before finally giving up -- right before it actually started to get good, imho. Part of the problem is that she doesn't like Schmidt (I know. I don't know what to do about it. It took me awhile to warm up to him too, but now I love Schmidtty), but hopefully that'll change. I don't know if it will. I kind of do believe you have to like everyone in order to love the show... though it's true that Nick is the best one. ;) I made her watch at least half a dozen eps from S2 -- though it turns out I might've only needed to have her watch 2x14 and 2x15. Honestly if you can't get into it after 2x15 there's really no chance you'll get into it at all. (I do think it helps to have all the background leading up to it however!)

I haven't found a Nick/Jess fanvid yet that I think is really good -- I feel like their relationship should have an upbeat, cheerful background song, and every vid I've seen is all dramallama type songs, which doesn't fit them all that well, imho. BUT this is the best of them so far. )

The Salvation Army came and took my guest bed away. They also took one of my old TVs. The other TV that was also supposed to go with them was in the guest room, where I had put Talis. When I went to get it, I discovered that somehow, the door had locked. I had to send them away without it, which I'm more grrr about than they are. It took me another 15 minutes after they left to free Talis.

I've been catching up on Raising Hope. I love Martha Plimpton. My problem with this show is that there's really nothing about it that makes me need to watch it in any shape or form. It's funny, and I love Virginia and Burt, but everyone else is kind of a waste of space. I'm totally sick of Maw Maw and her senility, I don't find Jimmy the least bit attractive (and yes, I'm superficial enough that that would make a difference), which also makes it hard to care about Sabrina. And nothing about Jimmy's character makes him attractive, either (whereas with Nick, I was ambivalent about Jake Johnson's attractiveness initially, but now find him super hot).

Wow, I didn't expect this to be as good a read as it was. When I saw the headline I thought, man, haven't we reported on this enough? But it's actually incredibly absorbing, with new, interesting info, and surprisingly funny. It's bin Laden's actual shooter's story (not the dude who wrote the book). Told partly in his own words and partly by the reporter's narrative.

The Shooter

Excerpt: On the third floor, there were two chicks yelling at us and the point man was yelling at them and he said to me, "Hey, we need to get moving. These bitches is getting truculent." I remember saying to myself, Truculent? Really? Love that word.

Maybe just the grammar nerd in me, but I was very tickled by that.
