Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog came out a few months ago. At the time everyone told me it was crappy (everyone on Defamer, anyway), and I believed them because I didn't know what it was about. It is apparently all about AWESOME. It's got Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion (new celebrity boyfriend, by the way), and Joss Whedon was involved with it somehow...and it's a musical. A ROCK musical. A rock musical about EVIL and SUPERHEROES and LOVE!
Anyway, NPH is hilarious and has a great voice, and Nathan Fillion is a good sport and handsome to the point of making me angry about it. And the music and lyrics are good too. I highly recommend that you watch it - it's only an hour long, and it's very conveniently on Hulu right now if you want to check it out.
UPDATE: I included a link to the musical over under Favourite Links. Click on "Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog Page", natch.

Dude. Fuck. Seriously.
So...I have been away for a week! I wasn't taking a hiatus on purpose, it was just one of those things where I went out of town and didn't sit in front of a computer, and fell out of the habit of thinking of things to talk about here. And then my parents and I had a fight so I've been too depressed to write. BUT I figure I'll try to get back into the swing of things by summarizing my weekend.
I saw Kyle's band play at the Cat Club (after a long and arduous process of trying to get into LA in the first place) on Thursday - it was totally worth all the trouble I went through to get there. I took a bunch of videos, and I was going to post one here, but the video editing program I downloaded (which has proven to be something of a problem, given the fact that I use Vista and .AVI files) needs to be a paid-for version before it lets me post anything without a big fat watermark in the middle. Enough sob stories about that. Maybe I'll just post a quick something from the weekend...
Intro and Last Song from Priya on Vimeo.
Okay. I hope you enjoyed that.
Then on Friday I mostly read Chaucer (because I had a presentation this Monday and needed to actually do the reading for once) during the day. Later, I went to see Coraline in 3D. That was UNREAL. I had a major Los Angeles Moment when I realized that someone was smoking out in the theatre and, since I was sitting in the last row, the smoke was wafting over me for the whole show. That was pretty interesting. Towards the end though, I mostly pitied the person who actually smoked the stuff, because shit got really scary, really fast. I just knew it would have turned into a really bad trip if I had been high. I found it to be very Gothic, which I liked. The more I read 19th century literature, the more I believe that I may be, like, into Goth shit. I shudder to think such a thing, but: rapier wit, a taste for the subversive and baroque, a high school career spent spinning in Glam and Punk rock, Morrissey, rare steak, a somewhat welcoming attitude towards death, the sneaking suspicion that I'm an evil genius lurking in disguise, deep and abiding ennui, a certain seething rage and simultaneous nonchalance at the ubiquitousness of human suffering...well, as Dr. Ian Malcolm would say: there it is. Anyway...
Later that night we went to see a midnight showing of The Princess Bride. I saw it once with my parents about...five years ago, but at that point I was more interested in watching Memento. Now I can appreciate the brilliance that can be accomplished even in movies for children - especially in movies for children, since it happens right under your nose. It was an old reel, I guess, and it kept slipping off the projector and stalling the movie. It was a good time, though.
Then, just as I was hitting my stride, it was time to come back to the grind and spend my nights sweating in anticipation of an uncertain future, as per the fucking usual. Spring break is coming up, though, and with it, SXSW, which should prove to be an adventure at the very least. In the meantime, I'm here. I'm here, I'm here, I'm here. And I'm in a mood.

American Idol Sucks (UPDATED!)
I fucking hate American Idol. It's annoying, depressing, and stupid all rolled into one show that somehow gets aired like 12 times a week. For a program that's essentially about people who karaoke, it does remarkably well. For my part, I generally prefer to get sloshed before I listen to people yodel while a fake orchestra does a 1 minute guitar-midi version of someone else's art. Anyway, I just watched tonight's episode, and (spoiler alert!) Danny won. For those of you who are not my dad and don't know every contestant's backstory, Danny is the one whose wife died last year. I wanted Tatiana to win because she's annoying and I enjoy throwing a wrench into things my dad likes, and also because both times I've seen Danny on camera, he's mentioned his dead wife. It's like he doesn't want us to pity him, but just in case we're in the pitying mood, and if that pitying mood makes us want to vote for him...we shouldn't forget that his wife fucking died.
UPDATE!
If you don't believe me, here's a selection dedicated to Danny from Defamer's coverage of last night's carnage:
To be fair, this spills over onto Danny's similarly wanting friend Jamar, but you catch my drift. Danny sucks.
me: anyway i hate the guy who just won but i feel bad for hating him because his wife died
John: haha
me: he always mentions the fact that his wife died
and he still wears his damn wedding ring
it's like jesus get over yourself, you're 26
it's not like he's 89 and just can't imagine not wearing it [i say this because that would be legitimately tragic - ed.]
oh and by the way...i don't want you to vote for me because you feel pity but...my wife totally died
we were totally in love and she just DIED
John: haha
me: and then i came on American Idol and refused to sing happy songs because my wife died
and now i'm going to celebrate winning this round by singing "Did You Ever Know That You're My Hero?"
ugh
next week i plan to celebrate by singing "Hurt" by johnny cash
John: you know that was a nine inch nails song, right?
that cash covered
me: yeah, i knew one of them covered the other
it's just more depressing when sung by a dead guy
John: hahaha
true
me: then when he inevitably gets kicked off (because he's not THAT good), he's going to walk around singing "didn't we almost win it all" by laura branigan
John: haha
WHO IS ALSO DEAD
LOVE IT
UPDATE!
If you don't believe me, here's a selection dedicated to Danny from Defamer's coverage of last night's carnage:
Last and absolutely least we come to Danny Gokey. It wasn't a surprise that he went through. The judges (save, bless him, for Simon) have been peddling this whistling idiot for weeks now. Why? I'm not sure. Maybe because he's a less heinously ugly Elliot Yamin. Or maybe because he whored out the untimely death of his wife at the preliminary auditions, which he attended just one month after she died. It was so hard to talk about! Here, just roll this footage of their engagement that he just happened to have! He really bothers me and the judges' clappy, slobbery display over his lackluster "Hero" performance on Tuesday night was one of the season's most embarrassing, "please just put this disaster out of its misery" moments. So yeah. I hate Danny Gokey. And I hate his stupid friend Jamar or whatever who didn't make it through but sat there at the semis in the audience like the simpering, grasping wimp that he is. They're not going to see you there in the crowd and realize they were wrong, friend. It's over.
To be fair, this spills over onto Danny's similarly wanting friend Jamar, but you catch my drift. Danny sucks.

It's Accounting. No Holidays.
I'm taking Basic Principles of Accounting this semester, as part of my Finance minor, and it's killing my soul a little bit. I haven't felt this insanely out of my league since I took Statistics over the summer. This kind of prolonged inferiority is proving to be kind of bad for my self-esteem (I know you'd never be able to tell I was insecure if I wasn't constantly complaining about it, HA). Thank god I have someone to help me when I'm totally stumped! Here's a conversation where I learn about cold, hard, mathematical reality.
PortablePriya: original entry
PortablePriya: actually i think there's only an adjusted entry
PortablePriya: where i would debit salary expense and credit salary payable
Caroline: yup
PortablePriya: for the amount accrued for the week up till thursday
Caroline: tuesday
PortablePriya: oh yes
PortablePriya: okay
PortablePriya: so wouldn't it just be one day's pay? since dec.31 falls on a tuesday?
Caroline: 2 days
PortablePriya: they get paid on friday, saturday sunday they're off
PortablePriya: then monday they work
PortablePriya: tuesday they don't work
Caroline: tuesday they work
PortablePriya: oh okay, i thought they got a holiday, haha
Caroline: haha
Caroline: it's accounting
Caroline: no holidays

Now Add them up and...
I've seen 135 out of 239. That's not bad! I was pretty afraid that I wasn't going to make it to 88.
This reminds me of that part in High Fidelity (the book version), where Rob, Dick and Barry make up a questionnaire of Things To Like that they think are important - they talk idly about handing them out to potential girlfriends, and Barry actually does it, but I actually think it's not so important to know what movies people have seen so much as what movies they haven't seen. You'll note that I have managed to avoid seeing all of the American Pie movies. I would say that makes me pretty cool.
Mark the ones you've seen. There are 239 films on this list. Copy this list, go to your own facebook account, paste this as a note. Then, put x's next to the films you've seen, add them up, change the header adding your number, and click post at the bottom. Have fun

This makes no sense. If someone responded with "Barbie Girl" to me asking this question, I would punch them in their crazy mouth.

Love You Madly (Cake)
Yes, it's true, I think about the opening scene to Forgetting Sarah Marshall more than I'd like to admit.
WHAT IS 2 + 2?
I Guess You're Right (The Posies)
A blind man could tell you that!
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR BEST FRIEND?

Boy, there's already a lot of Moz in this entry, huh? Guess I know what one of today's tags is going to be!
WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST FEAR?
White Wedding, Pt. 1 (Billy Idol)
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. YEP.

For We Are the King of the Boudoir (Magnetic Fields)
I'm...a self-promotingly awesome lover? It IS true that you'll see god when I kiss you, though. Smug.
WHAT DO YOU WANT RIGHT NOW?
Ballroom Blitz (Sweet)
I kinda do want that. I'm bored, and I think a blitz of any kind would be a welcome change from the monotony of the midweek blues.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR FRIENDS?
The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get (Morrissey)
So true.
WHAT WILL YOU POST THIS AS?

Makes You Think
Here's a "critical cover" of Paper Planes by Sinhalese rapper DeLon. I love M.I.A.'s music and her style, but you have to wonder about all those rumors that she sends proceeds from her record and merch sales directly to her father (one of the leaders of the Tamil Tigers), and how much of that is just bravado to make her music more interesting to white kids from the suburbs. You know I'm all for my badass girls, especially those who represent for the Subcontinent, but there's a limit, I guess. Like I said, makes you think, and I'm all for that, too.

"AUSTIN 09!"
I promised you an entry about my Austin Weekend, and so you shall read an entry about my Austin Weekend. It won't be a good one, but we'll struggle through this together, okay? Eventually it will all be over.
I flew into Austin at noon on Friday (no classes FTW!) with the full intention of hanging out all day, drinking that night, and then working on a Top Secret Project with John all day Saturday. Instead, I hung out with Lauren all day (until John came in from work, all "Honey, I'm HOOOOME!") and waited for Marion to drive up from Houston. We ate dinner at Madame Mam (or is it Mam's?) which was a Thai restaurant at which every single dish was spicy as fuck. I had panang curry that I couldn't finish because it was so hot and there was just so much of it. Marion broke into a sweat and had to order a bottle of soy milk. After dinner, we went to the Flying Saucer, which is a bar that specializes in beer. We had a billion cheese fries and fell asleep at 4 in the morning. Lauren's not lying: her inflatable queen-sized mattress is THE BOMB.
On Saturday, John took Marion, Robert, and I to the Farmer's Market while Lauren was at work. Here's a video.
More Farmer's Market - Criticizing My Delivery from Priya on Vimeo.
Do you like my exasperated groan at the end? I do. I'm planning to splice this and other videos that I take in Austin over the semester into a little movie! I guess I'll do it during finals week, haha.
After the Farmer's Market, we all went back home and played Left 4 Dead, which is pretty good. I racked up most Friendly Fire points, since I kept getting separated from my teammates and then firing blindly in their direction as they got swarmed by zombies (I don't want to brag or anything, but I'm pretty good at video games). Then Lauren came home, and we watched Mulholland Dr. FUCKED UP, obviously. Marion regaled us with her theories on what the movie was about. Then we went to dinner - we had Chinese - and then to the Alamo Draft House, where we saw the movies that were nominated for this year's Oscar in Best Animated Short. There was one in particular that I quite enjoyed: John and Karen. You should definitely check it out if you get the chance.
It was midnight by the time we got back to the apartment and Lauren had to go to work early, so we said goodnight to her and Marion and I watched Reality Bites. I totally agree with John here in that if I had seen it in 1997 or whenever, just having graduated college, I would have been like OMG I RELATE SO HARD RIGHT NOW. As it stands, I only relate kind of flaccidly.
Look forward to more posts and videos from Austin in the upcoming months (I'm starting to experiment with the Jaws Effect, so that should be interesting...), and more videos in general as we lead up to SXSW. For now, I'm off to watch Fatal Attraction instead of reading Chaucer.
[WRITING!!!!]
I flew into Austin at noon on Friday (no classes FTW!) with the full intention of hanging out all day, drinking that night, and then working on a Top Secret Project with John all day Saturday. Instead, I hung out with Lauren all day (until John came in from work, all "Honey, I'm HOOOOME!") and waited for Marion to drive up from Houston. We ate dinner at Madame Mam (or is it Mam's?) which was a Thai restaurant at which every single dish was spicy as fuck. I had panang curry that I couldn't finish because it was so hot and there was just so much of it. Marion broke into a sweat and had to order a bottle of soy milk. After dinner, we went to the Flying Saucer, which is a bar that specializes in beer. We had a billion cheese fries and fell asleep at 4 in the morning. Lauren's not lying: her inflatable queen-sized mattress is THE BOMB.
On Saturday, John took Marion, Robert, and I to the Farmer's Market while Lauren was at work. Here's a video.
More Farmer's Market - Criticizing My Delivery from Priya on Vimeo.
Do you like my exasperated groan at the end? I do. I'm planning to splice this and other videos that I take in Austin over the semester into a little movie! I guess I'll do it during finals week, haha.
After the Farmer's Market, we all went back home and played Left 4 Dead, which is pretty good. I racked up most Friendly Fire points, since I kept getting separated from my teammates and then firing blindly in their direction as they got swarmed by zombies (I don't want to brag or anything, but I'm pretty good at video games). Then Lauren came home, and we watched Mulholland Dr. FUCKED UP, obviously. Marion regaled us with her theories on what the movie was about. Then we went to dinner - we had Chinese - and then to the Alamo Draft House, where we saw the movies that were nominated for this year's Oscar in Best Animated Short. There was one in particular that I quite enjoyed: John and Karen. You should definitely check it out if you get the chance.
It was midnight by the time we got back to the apartment and Lauren had to go to work early, so we said goodnight to her and Marion and I watched Reality Bites. I totally agree with John here in that if I had seen it in 1997 or whenever, just having graduated college, I would have been like OMG I RELATE SO HARD RIGHT NOW. As it stands, I only relate kind of flaccidly.

An Untethered Balloon
Here's a video of the T.I., Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Kanye West and MIA performance from this weekend's Grammys. They're singing "Swagga Like Us."
Chester French - She Loves Everybody
Another deliciously silly cute singer boy. There will never be a shortage, will there? But this one's name is Chester!

Manifesto
Yeah, I'll admit it - there were a couple of lyrics in there that surprised me. I thought she said she was getting high while swerving, but, well...she's not.
Still fucking awesome. Natalie Portman girlcrush: RENEWED!

My Adventures in HP Chat Support
Do you guys remember when we were 15 and discovered that AIM bot named Smarter Child? You could ask it a variety of simple questions and it would respond with simple answers. It would tell you its favourite colour and movies that were coming out that week, but if you tried to ask it anything clever it would respond with "That's naughty!" and get increasingly infuriating until you got frustrated with it and stopped talking to it. It was basically my first real hint that the robots will one day rise up and destroy us. It doesn't sound particularly interesting now, but at the time it completely blew our collective mind. The point is that when you learned how to talk to Smarter Child, it could actually be helpful, but if you didn't speak the same "language" that it did, you'd get nowhere. I have decided that the same goes for HP Chat Support.
1. I'm pretty sure your name is Vishnu, dude. It's totally fine that you're Indian. I'm Indian! Embrace it. I promise it'll make your life a lot easier. Plus...everyone knows already. You're not fooling anyone.
2. Actually, that pretty much covers it.
Priya: Windows Movie Maker does not read my .AVI files as video, but plays them as audio instead.
[An agent will be with you shortly]
[You are now chatting with Vincenzo]
Vincenzo: Hello Priya
Priya: Hello
Vincenzo: Welcome to HP Total Care for Notebooks
Priya: Thanks
[long pause, computer keeps saying Vincenzo is typing]
Priya: Hello? If you are typing I can't see you
Vincenzo: I apologize for delay in response
Vincenzo: i infer that windows movie maker does not recognize the .avi files. Am I0 correct? (sic)
Priya: Correct
Vincenzo: Thank you for confirming.
Vincenzo: May I have 2-3 minitues while I pull the information? (sic)
Priya: Yes
Vincenzo: Thank you.
Vincenzo: I appreciate your patience,
Vincenzo: I am afraid, the .avi files will not support by windows movie maker.
Priya: So should I convert the .avi files to another format? And if so: how can I convert .avi files to a format that is supported by windows movie maker?
Vincenzo: To convert the video format we need to use the thirdpart applications. (sic)
Vincenzo: [link]
Vincenzo: NOTE: However, this will take you to a third party site. HP does not control or administer the content published on this site.
Priya: Noted.
Vincenzo: the default format of the windows movie maker is .WMV.
Priya: Okay
Vincenzo: I have completed available information about the windows maker.
Vincenzo: Is there anything else I can assist you with?
Priya: That is all. Thank you
Vincenzo: We are at your service always.

...FUCK.

DEAREST ONE OF GOD
I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Mr.Abram Morgan, who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2004. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.
Before his death we were both born again Christian. since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $2. 5 Million (Two Million and Five Hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) in the bank here in Abidjan in suspense account.
Presently, the fund is still with the bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that i have seriouly sickness which is cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church or individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want a church that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavour that the house of God is maintained.
The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don’t want my husband’s efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don’t want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence i know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the Lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace.
I don’t need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband’s relatives is around me always I don't want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank here in Abidjan. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the Lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.
Contact me through my e-mail address for more information’s, any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church or individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply. Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Susan Morgan.

OH, ohhhh myyyyy.
Dev Patel, you guys.
I wasn't wild about his starry-eyed lover in Slumdog Millionaire, but I just watched his interview on the Daily Show from last night, and oh my goodness, that young man is delightful! Really! He's about four times as poised as I am in any given social situation (much less those that are, uh, televised), but that may have something to do with the fact that he's British. I can't find a clip of just the interview online (the best I can do is show you the whole episode, and who needs that?), but you should watch it if you can. It is so worth it.
And then I discovered that he's 18. Oh...no wonder he's so fresh and, okay, intoxicating isn't the word I'm looking for, but I - fine, I'll just say it again - he's fucking delightful. God dammit.

PortablePriya: caroline - but it works
Caroline: Priya: TREATMENT EFFECTS TREATMENT EFFECTS TREATMENT EFFECTS *vomits a little*

Awesome Website Alert
You guys, I have been 'hells of' active on the internet lately (hope you don't mind that I stole your phrase, John) and I just discovered this amazing website. It's called www.whitewhine.com. You can click over to it under Favourite Links.
Bonus: click to Robert's blog (Electricity and Lust under Favourite Blogs) today - you will seriously NOT be sorry.

This commerical just made me laugh until I exploded
To brighten up your Monday:
1. Yes, they're screaming "Nannerpuss". Watch his eye fall off in the first five seconds.
2. I bet you thought I was going to post that Durex commerical of all the blow-up animals.

Facebook Survey
I have kind of a mental block about posting Notes on Facebook. I don't know why - it's probably the same block that keeps me from posting photo albums there or ever changing my profile picture...I probably don't want to get even more involved with it. Facebook dominates too much of my time as it is. I am, however, a total sucker for surveys, so when this one got passed around on Facebook and I got tagged, I had to participate in some way. Thus, I'm inflicting it on you. Enjoy!
Actually, I actually read the survey instructions and this thing actually turned out to be just 25 things about you, as opposed to being comprised of a bunch of specific questions that you answer as they relate to you. Fuck that, this entire BLOG is 25 things about me. Jesus. If you don't know 25 things about me by now, REEDIN COMPRIHENSHUN: UR DOIN IT RONG. Instead, have a look at this song that Steve Martin wrote, called Late For School.
Yeah, I know: I kept waiting for it to get funny, too.
