1. Community is the shit. And Joel McHale makes my life pretty much. How have I been missing out on this?
2. Oh sorry, I should explain where I’ve been… nowhere. Doing absolutely nothing. My life has become a series of procrastinated assignments. The amount of marks I’ve lost this term for handing things in late is embarrassing. I hate myself.
3. How are pictures of Zac Efron so inspiring? Even when you can’t see his face? He makes me want to actually get started on my two papers due  Monday! Okay… no, even The Zefron doesn’t have those powers.
4. You know what’s annoying? When the hot, impeccable, perfect guy you’ve been staring at all term in class decides to make out with his girlfriend in front of an elevator JUST as you’re getting on said elevator. I’m just saying, it totally ruins the fantasy.
5. I know what you’re thinking, that title is too long. Why couldn’t it have just fit in one line?! I hate character restrictions! Half my life is now spent trying to cram my pointless Twitter updates into 140 characters.
6. THIS is one of the single most awesome things I have ever been introduced to. Enjoy the sound of rain wherever you have an Internet connection! I’d like to say it helped me study. I’d like to.
7. The Libertines had/are having some form of a reunion! Dammit, seeing Pete and Carl together is priceless, adorable, what dreams are made of, etc.
8. It’s been almost a month that I’ve been off Grey’s Anatomy. I have to say, my life is definitely less miserable and pessimistic! I know I’m going to start having McSteamy/Dreamy/Army & Alex cravings soon though…
9. I’ve been thinking really hard about something lately… what if the men on Private Practice had Mc nicknames? WHAT WOULD THEY BE? Dell is easy, obviously he’d be McZefron. Okay, that’s where my creative powers died.
10. I really thoroughly enjoyed Phil on Modern Family this week. Oh and Gloria is still my idol.
11. Since we’re talking about TV – UGLY BETTY. Daniel and Betty! It has to happen! Please Ugly Betty gods, make it happen! None of this Henry Grubstick bullshit please. If that’s how this show ends, we’re going to have another Gilmore Girls on our hands and that already ruined my life. Cue dramatic sigh.
12. In other random news, I love Nicole Richie. Who wants to marathon The Simple Life with me? Anyone?
13. I know, all I ever talk about is school and TV. Get over it. I gave you more than 10 points this time (A WHOLE 13), you should be thanking me. So you’re welcome.

Here it is. Yet another post where I try to pass off an obscure lyric as a title and then follow with a list of random unrelated information. OK GO.

• My laptop’s CD drive has been an asshole for years (i.e. since I got it, and by asshole I mean it would randomly pop open during awkward silences and well, not work), so I thought I’d get it fixed since my insurance was about to run out. Best Buy was FAST. It’s been a couple of days and I have it back with the drive replaced. Five points for the Geek Squad or whatever.
• Speaking of my laptop, it got to the point where I had to wait ten minutes for it to start up, and another ten minutes for Chrome or Word to open, so I was going to do a system restore anyway. I thought, hey why not do the whole Windows 7 thing? So here I am. I know technically it’s not much different than Vista, but I love a change and it’s so much more aesthetically pleasing. Of course, I may be biased since a few days ago, it was moving at a crawl and Zac Efron wasn’t tiled across the background, but still.

• Yes, a screenshot is the only image I can produce right now. Whatever, it’s 4am and I feel like I haven’t slept in four months. AND I have a class at 9am. Why can’t classes start after lunch? Would it hurt, really? Who is actually able to process things that early?
• Remember a post ago I said I couldn’t wait for Wall Street 2? Well apparently, my blog is great at jinxing things. It’s being PUSHED BACK. BY FIVE MONTHS. WHAT?! I can’t talk about it. It’s too painful.
• But honestly, if I don’t get my yearly dose of Shia, I’m not going to make it you guys.
• This weekend’s going to be fun. I have two layouts to code, five hundred papers to get started on, and tons of procrastinating to do. When I finally get a vacation, I’m going to need to be rehabilitated for it.

THE END

• Ya, I don’t know why I just did that. It’s kind of cool though right? We should all end our blogs like this from now on. Who’s with me?

Is this late? The obsessive compulsive side of me doesn’t like that this is coming after the “Happy 2010!” post. Ok, I’ll deal. So will you I hope.

Anyway, I saw everyone doing their 2009 lists – lists of accomplishments, favourites, etc., and wanted my own. But then this year wasn’t a lot of firsts or accomplishments for me and I felt really inadequate, so I just avoided it. BUT, I wouldn’t feel right not having my own list, so I’m just going to put together a jumbled list of what I remember and therefore what must have been the most significant. There will be an emphasis on celebrities and TV shows, but these are two of my favourite things, so you really shouldn’t be surprised. Also note,  in my attempt to make this list more valid, everything is in chronological order… go me!

1. My newfound obsession with Russell Brand flowed from 2008 straight into 2009. January was full of repeated viewings of Shame, Doing Life, Ponderland, and The Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2006 & 2007. Actually, this is highly appropriate for a post about 2009 since Russ is back for 2009’s Big Fat Quiz of the Year!

2. Matt Smith was cast as the eleventh doctor to replace David Tennant in Doctor Who. Immediately after hearing the news and seeing an interview with Matt Smith, I decided I was in love with him and was going to become a Doctor Who fan just to show my support… needless to say, this didn’t happen, but I still hold a small appreciation for Matt Smith. Maybe one day I will actually watch an episode of Doctor Who, who knows? (I know all you Doctor Who fans are cringing or considering closing your tab right now… sorry!)

3. January also marked a huge first for me – my first Bollywood movie! No, I wasn’t cast in one, I just watched one – Dostana – a movie about two men who pretend to be gay just so that they can rent an apartment. They also fall in love with the same girl. Drama! It was fun! I kind of understood what they were saying, but thank god for subtitles. Along with the undeniable eye candy, it was a great first experience. No, I haven’t seen another Bollywood movie since then. Maybe I’ll add that to my list of resolutions?

4. I got my BlackBerry and said goodbye to my pink Razr (I know, I know – I held onto it for too long didn’t I?).

5. Never did I think that I would become a fan of  that kid from High School Musical, but something changed when the 17 Again promos started coming out…. and then when 17 Again actually came out, that was it. And this was a different kind of love, not the temporary, fleeting kind (see Matt Smith), but a more meaningful kind. Uh, stop judging me, go watch 17 Again.

6. After watching every season of Laguna Beach and The Hills, this was the year that I could take no more. This means one of two things – either I finally grew out of “reality” shows this year, or The Hills hit a new low, even for The Hills. Congrats guys.

7. TUMBLR! No, Tumblr wasn’t introduced this year, but this was the year I joined, therefore the year that counts. If you haven’t joined yet, what are you waiting for?! Where else will you get to post random pictures and videos without any explanation required? Microblogging is the way to go. Having made 2732 posts since May, you can trust me on that.

8. Prison Break ended this year, Michael and Lincoln were finally able to escape prison… permanently. I thought they deserved a kudos here. I for one enjoyed every season, and the movie. I miss you guys already!

9. Gossip Girl fans everywhere died a little inside when Chuck and Blair finally got together – wait, was that just me? Either way, one of the highlights of 2009 I would say.

10. Public Enemies. Johnny Depp. Christian Bale. Do I need to say anything else?

11. Post Grad wasn’t the most awesome movie ever, but boy, could I relate. What am I going to do when I finally graduate? Hmmm… maybe I too will have the opportunity to give up the perfect job to be with the guy of my dreams. Hey, a girl can dream.

12. The Fame came out in 2008, but 2009 was clearly the year of Gaga – and when I finally decided to give her a try. Thank god, because I don’t know if I would have had my daily dose of pop music otherwise.

13. Inglourious Basterds. Awesome.

14. I got my 24″ iMac this year and finally joined the Mac club. I can say with 100% certainty that this was the happiest day of my life.

15. You probably haven’t heard of Howie Day. And if you have, all you most likely know him for is Collide, when really, he should be know for his first album, Australia. Anyway, fans waited SIX years for a new album, and finally, this year, Sound the Alarm came out. Here’s a biased review: it was perfect.

16. Mad Men – for having an amazing season this year. One of the best shows on TV right now.

17. newyorkcanwait.com is born. I blog… once in awhile.

18. I’m not a fan of American Idol, but Adam Lambert’s album, For Your Entertainment, is one of my favourites this year. “There he goes, my baby walks so slow, sexual tic tac toe“, I could leave it on repeat for the next five years.

19. I started the year watching Russell Brand and ended it by marathoning all six seasons of Sex and the City. I wouldn’t have spent my limited Internet allowance (thanks Rogers) any other way.

If you made it through the list, well done! If you just skimmed through the pictures, don’t worry, I forgive you. Here’s to 2010, may it be filled with a lot more to blog about!

A few things, do you guys like lists? Okay, great!

• Best news first! I got to go to a press screening of Me and Orson Welles today! All thanks to canadawhore =) Can I just say, Zac Efron is a god? He’s pretty AND talented! All fangirling aside, the movie was also pretty good, Christain Mckay was amazing as Orson. Don’t let Zefron sway you away from giving it a chance when it comes out!
• Mad Men finale! Wow, what an amazing show. I have no words for this episode. It was perfect. Not one line out of place. I can’t wait to see what Sterling-Cooper-Draper-Pryce get up to next season. And Betty! She’s my new idol. Henry Francis… I don’t know about him, I guess we’ll see. Just one thing, does this mean goodbye to Ken?!
• Eastwick got cancelled! I can’t say I didn’t see it coming, but I’m going to miss it. I hate when shows get cancelled! Do you think my last blog jinxed it?
• Gossip Girl last night: ugh. What was that threesome? What were they thinking? Did VANESSA have to be involved? And Lizzie McGuire? My bad, I mean, Hilary Duff. Scratch that, I mean Olivia. Needless to say, involving Chuck would have been a win, but Dan – fine, I’ll take it. Olivia and Vanessa though? Really? Not to mention, it was awkward. And nothing even happened on screen! I felt like Dan and Vanessa making out was some form of incest. Poor Vanessa. I don’t know if her character could possibly get more lame. Maybe something good will come out of this though. The preview for next week looks promising. I’m looking forward to Olivia vs Vanessa. Do you think they can salvage this season? I don’t know guys, I don’t know. Oh and Chuck won for best line, as usual, see headline.
• Finally, after the press screening, we walked into Chapters, and right there, practically calling my name, was a shelf full of copies of John Irving’s new book, Last Night in Twisted River – how could I not have bought it? Actually, that’s what I’m going to get to now, so if you’ll excuse me…

How good does this look?
