One moment of nerdiness does not make up for a lifetime of being an asshole.
Q: Did you hear the one about Rooney playing in Newport?
A: Well if you didn’t you could always ask Luke. I think he knows it better than anyone, now that he’s become Josh’s Pete Ross. What is it about screenwriters that they think it’s a good idea to have their actors screaming like teenyboppers? I mean it wasn’t like Rooney’s name wasn’t plastered all over the entire fucking episode anyway.
*pets Josh* It’s okay, sweetie, you still rock.
Also, trivia time, they shot the show at the Roxy. Yes, that Roxy on Sunset. I’ve been to the Roxy enough, trust me on this one.
Other observations about last night:
Fashion:
+ Sweet mother of Zeus, I dunno what’s going on in wardrobe, but maybe they should step outside and get some air. I’m sure![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
marleigh loved how Strokes!Julian Seth looked, but not so much my favorite look. The same could be said of Anna’s PVC jacket, but I suppose everybody has to own one piece of vinyl clothing at some point in their lives. I did like her earrings for a change though, so there is that.
I was not, however, feeling Summer’s earrings, because there’s only so much mini-Gwen Stefani I can take at any given time. Although I will say that even with the bouffant hair she looked hot. My girl hated the hair, but I thought it was very rock-n-roll of her. Except that Rooney aren’t rock-n-roll, but you say pot-tah-toe, and I say French fries.
+ In a random note: I was going to buy Kassie that Care Bears shirt that Haley was wearing, but I’m kinda glad I didn’t. I will not like Haley. I will not like Haley.
I will be glad that they washed all the gel out of Luke’s hair though. Yes. Definitely.
The Cohen Men
+ Who doesn’t love Sandy? Really. Even when he’s delivering the Smackdown, he’s still the best dad around. I’d buy him lots of bagels, I’m just wondering where the lox is. Dude, you cannot have bagels and cream cheese without lox.
+ I see that you spell whipped R-Y-A-N. Who else could really go for some Ryan/Seth time? Like *now*.
Miscellaneous
+ I’m at the point where I’m not sure what to make of Oliver. I don’t love him; I don’t hate him; I’m just waiting to see where they take him. The same can be said of Luke.
+ I fucking howled at how cool Summer was when Seth and Anna dropped the bomb. Anna may have won the battle, but Summer is so gonna win the war. There’s no way she’s going to let this happen to her. Now it’s a matter of pride.
+ Golden Girls, baby!
+The less said about the make-up, the better.
+ Ryan and Seth at the breakfast table. Oh, the cute. Yes, that’s all I have to say about that.
Overall
+ This episode wasn’t particularly moving or anything, in fact, it was only average. However, an average OC episode is still better than the best of most of the shit out there. I give it three skateboards, with an extra half a deck because Ryan was reading The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay.
Next week:
Anna wears my grandma’s nightgown! Ryan gets jealous! Marissa gets skinnier! Oliver has Tourettes! – or something. Jimmy loses all his brownie points by punking out! Lady Deathstrike gets a haircut! Kirsten and Lady Deathstrike agree on something! Newport Beach falls into the Pacific Ocean!
Also. I have some speculative thoughts about the whole Haley/Jimmy thing...
This is going to sounds very Dynasty of me, but I keep thinking Haley wants what Kirsten has. Jimmy wants money. Haley wants money, too. Does anybody else see a serious opening for them to get involved and perhaps get married somewhere along the line? How crazy would that drive Kirsten and Lady Deathstrike? Wouldn’t that be the best ‘Fuck You’ ever? I heart this show.

Kavalier and Clay!

Re: Kavalier and Clay!
The day that Ryan Gosling shows up I'm going out and buying a shirt that says "Josh Stole My Brain" or "Welcome to my Planet, Bitch" or something equally pithy and snarky.
Re: Kavalier and Clay!
I screamed when Everwood made an Officer and a Gentleman reference. My tinhat is fastened on firmly and I still maintain it was a shoutout.
Re: Kavalier and Clay!
A *little* inner squee? Dude, I pretty much shout the house down, especially when my friends call/e-mail and are all "so, what's up with your man, Josh?"
I'm waiting for Matt Nathanson to show up. Seriously. I know I mentioned Rooney in 'The Happiest Place on Earth' back in the day, but if Matt shows up I'm... I'm not sure what I'll do, but you'll probably hear me shrieking about it.
I need a nerd icon, don't I?
And I'm going to pretend. Really really pretend that you didn't ask me who Jay-Z and Nas are. It's not like I asked you about some no-talent-Cracker-Jack-rappers like Fabolous or Chingy. I asked you about people with *skillz*. People who are all over the place.
It's Jay Fucking Z.
Next you'll wonder who Biggie Smalls is and I will cry.
Re: Kavalier and Clay!
(This is why I have not broken into the music industry. No lyrics well from within me.)
What sort of nerd icon? I'm about to open Photoshop. Requests?
Look, I don't follow the popular musical culture. Let's check Billboard's top singles chart...
http://www.billboard.com/bb/charts/hot100.jsp
I have heard *one* song on that list of 50. #50 itself actually, because I like Maroon 5 (I saw them this summer! V. good.)
And looking over it...I've only heard OF about 20 people on there.
*adjusts vainglorious indie rock queen tiara*
I boycott all radio, unless it's a snotty internet based station. I find most of my new stuff via Indie Pop Rocks, Under the Radar, the Voice, Pitchfork,
This is why I'm a complete musical dunce in your world. :D
Biggie Smalls was the dude who capped Tupac, right?
Re: Kavalier and Clay!
Nerd. Geek. Dork. Seth. Cookie Monster. Oscar the Grouch. Pick one, mix and match.

Point of fact, most popular music is shit. Out of the top 50, I've heard of 44, I like five (Matchbox 20's on their twice and I really like 'Bright Lights.' Kanye West is on there too, as is the Alicia Keys song that I only like because Mos Def is in the video)...13 make my ears bleed and Baby Jesus cries. I don't listen to the radio, but I have three different kinds of VH1 and MTV on my digital cable and I like watching videos while I cook, clean, read... Also my musical world is rather vast, so no, I don't think you're a dunce, you just have specializations.
As for this:

I will pretend you are being funny.
Re: Kavalier and Clay!
I understand the videos thing, because I'm a video junkie as well. But we don't have the cable so I just buy DVDs of bands I like. Which of course only serves to keep me in my specialised little world. ;)
I think my musical interests are pretty vast, they just don't include recent popular stuff for some reason, it's really odd. Past popular stuff though? My God. *sits on a large pile of vinyl and hisses like Gollum*
As for Biggie and Tupac, let us not get into the whole East Coast/West Coast thing, because we're both on the West Coast and it seems really silly. :D
