There has been talk of youtube trying to beome Hulu-tastic. They did a redesign, that is supposed to focus more on professional content (TV shows) and less on user created content. Now, Youtube is my crack. I know most of you are iPhone addicts, and I respect that. My addiction is more simple, youtube…one of the reasons I am thinking of an iPhone is to watch youtube ALL OF THE TIME. Yes, it is that bad. I use Hulu for when I miss watching Dollhouse on fridays due to homework I put off until the last possible moment, but youtube is the best thing on the planet, just how it is.

I blame the vlogbrothers for this. Speaking of which, here is a musical explanation of the youtube situation:

So far this change hasn’t affected my ability to find people taking video of their cats:

I accept that there should be some professional content, or else how would I be able to watch this:

But I really would appreciate if youtube stayed…youtubey.

Christian was trying to convince me that my shoulder pain may be because there is a ghost on my shoulder, like in a horror movie he saw. The only thing I have killed lately is a bug or two…and plants, I do kill plants. So we are now planning a Summer Blockbuster called Ghost Bug, it will be way bigger than that Harry Potter thing that is coming out, that I can promise you.

I am watching the last episode of ER, 20 mins left, I think I will be weeping soon. I grew up with this TV show. I’m getting rather annoyed with all my TV shows up and dying. 7 Years of Gilmore Girls, Only? 15 Seasons of ER? How could they end so soon, 15 Seasons is nothing. I complain, but really I have been lucky, most of  “my” shows have made it a long time running. There are some that I love that expired far too early, like Firefly of course, and Pushing Daisies (will we ever see the last episodes.)

I recently watched the Dead like me movie, not really sure how I feel about one main character not being in it, and another being played by another actress, but in general it was great to see that show come to life again.

Yesterday I went to amazon to look up cases for the iphone. I don’t have an iphone. I think I am getting closer to making that decision though, the nepa tweetup helped, I was one of the only non-iphones there, my phone won’t even let me text people back. I am just concerned that I will misplace something that expensive, as I tend to be bad at remembering where I put my cell phone.

Sorry blog, this rambling about nothing and then more nothing is usually reserved for my livejournal.

ER Over. ER over forever.

*sighs*

new Battery’s Down might help me feel less heartbroken:

My blog joined a league of zombies, yes it did. It’s some form of living dead. I saved my blog entries, but the blog re-set itself, but I saved this and I wanted to share it, mostly because it had me insanely happy. Last November I was checking my blog and noticed I had comments, not a big shock because spam seems to love me, but when I clicked to read it I found THIS is reply to my Sahara Special Blog:

I was very touched by your post. I’m glad you enjoyed my books, and I’m glad for what the generous candor in what you shared. Rooting for you!

How sweet is that? The author of the book found my tiny blog and left me a comment, it’s been months and this still find this awesome. I’ve been to ALA and I have met some of my favorite authors, but I am still in “OMG ROCKSTAR!!!” mode when I get replies from people whose books I read, or whose careers I follow. A similar story would be back in 06 I went to ALA and I missed my chance at meeting John Green for a book signing, and in general was really bummed because I had heard he was so nice in person (he was sick that day and didn’t make it for signage) after getting back to PA I added John to myspace and received a personal message from him when he accepted my friendship request, and, even though he is a normal person, probably 2 years older than me, I was jumping up and down to know that he took the time to communicate with little ol’ me. Since then I have been following his blogging, and vlogging career very closely, watching all his insightful and funny as heck youtube videos and those of his brother Hank as well, and have had the chance to talk with both of them briefly during blogtv chats, but I still get giddy.

If you haven’t seen the pure wonder and awesome that is brotherhood 2.0/ Vlog Brothers I need to drag you over to youtube ASAP:

Which reminds me, I went to a Twilight party this week, complete with VAMPIRE COOKIES (sugar with raspberry filling, complete with bite marks) and Pomegranate Martinis with Red Rock Candy Syrup all along the outside, very bloody. I am a bad librarian though, having only read book 1 and book 2 of the series. I would cite as my excuse that I am an Elementary Librarian, but it’s all lies since all I ever read for fun is YA…YA fantasy and YA paranormal…and YA paranormal romance, so I have no excuse what so ever.
