1. Would I rather be a character on LOST or on BATTLESTAR GALACTICA?
Two of my favorite shows. Lost has the island which is like the 8 in a game of Crazy 8's. You never know what you're gonna get with that damn island. Random appearances by dead people and cloud monsters are what you don't want. Healing powers and time-traveling are pretty cool. The people on the island are another thing altogether. You got the crazies (The Others, Locke, Jacob) and the not-as-crazy (Kate, Jack, Sun). The guys are generally hotter than the girls though so that's a negative.
Battlestar Galactica on the other hand, you're in space. On a ship. Not very scenic once you've passed the same star cluster for like the 20th time. The Cylons aren't everyone's worst problem anymore since the planet they thought they'd be living on together is actually made of ruins and ash. You've got more hot girls on BSG though. Grace Park. Tricia Helfer. Since they're Cylons, you could have fun with like 50 of them. Each. So there's that. Game over.
Answer: Battlestar Galactica. (I love you Grace Park.)
2. Who would win in a fight, Cobra Commander w/Destro (cartoon G.I. Joe universe) or Doc Terror w/Hacker (cartoon Centurions universe)?
Cobra Commander is an idiot. Doc Terror is not.
Destro is bad ass. Hacker is not.
(Pretty even so far.)
Cobra Commander, after taking one look at his opponents would scamper in the other direction all the while shouting "I will have my reeeeveeeenge! Cooo-Braaaaa!!!!!" Destro would then shake his metallic head and reveal that he had the Baroness and a whole army of B.A.T.'s waiting for that very moment so they could charge in. Doc Terror though is a frickin' cyborg so he could probably take over te B.A.T.'s and capture the two villainous lovers. Of course, while captured (and not executed because this is a cartoon mind you) Baroness would her feminine charms to hoodwink Hacker into setting them free.
Winner: Draw. Because both sides would proclaim that they had won.
3. Would you rather be one of the Uruk-Hai invading Helm's Deep (LOTR: TT movie) or one of the Persians storming the Hot Gates (300 movie)?
This question can be rephrased into: "Would you rather be killed by scantily clad men or men with long, shiny hair?" There is no right answer to this. You're emasculated either way. But the Spartans were more barbaric with the Persians. There was more chop-chopping and hack-hacking over there in 300. The Elves (who weren't supposed to be there BTW) and the Rohirrim used mostly arrows and horses to do their killing while their swords and knives were strictly stab-once-move-on-to-the-next instruments.
Answer: I'd rather be an Uruk-Hai. Yes, both of them were the favorites to win their respective battles and both of them ultimately lost. But I'd rather Aragorn killed me then Leonidas just because I like my kings dressed for action and not dressed-for-less.
4. The love of your life walks up to you and she can tell you two things: A) She wants to break up with you and get with your best friend or B) She used to be a man.
Tough one here. We're talking about serious love-of-your-life, been with her for 2 years type of thing and not just some chick you met last week. Would you rather that she crush your heart and leave you for your best friend or would you rather find out that she used to have an effin' penis? Both are terrible experiences sure but A) crushes your heart and B) crushes your manhood (and sexual orientation). Think about it like this, what would you rather hear?
"Hey honey...I want to break up. I'm in love with your best friend. I've been seeing him on the side everytime we aren't together. Remember when you brought me home that night I was wasted? I wasn't wasted. I was just pretending so you could bring me home because your best friend was waiting for me in my room."
Or
"Hey honey...remember your best friend? I'm him!"
Answer: A. No way am I sleeping with a she-dude. Try and imagine it for a sec. You slept with a dude.

Prologue
“Run!” Quinn yelled. “Move!” Too late.
Four of the things had burst through the unlocked door. Left open by one, simple mistake he’d like to think. Yet who could forget to lock the door at a time like this? Jennifer and Michelle ran back up the stairs, skipping every other step with two of the attackers chasing after them. Nancy, Tim and the man they had just rescued, John were trying to keep the kitchen door closed and prevent anything else from coming in. Quinn was being stalked by the other two. Salivating and rabid, they slowly made their way closer to him. Fear kept him from running, courage kept him from calling out to his friends. Surely they would try to rescue him but they would also surely die if they did. He thought about it; if he kept these two distracted then the others could take them out easy.
They’d be easier to kill if they were too busy eating, he thought.
He knew what he had to do. He stepped back ever so slightly, not wanting to trip and give them an easy meal. From outside he could hear the howls. More of the things were gathering. They had sensed that there was food inside one of the houses. His three companions fought them off, attacking the flailing arms and savage teeth trying to get through. His thoughts then drifted upwards, to the action upstairs. He couldn’t hear much; his heartbeat seemed so loud at that moment. He thought of Jennifer. Was she okay?
Please God let her be --- One of things lunged at him!
He dodged with a quick side-step to the left and the thing hit the wall. It did not get back up. He had evaded the first one, a lucky break, but the momentary distraction of having realized he did allowed the second one to tackle him.
The mouth! The mouth,he thought. Can’t let him bite me!
He struggled with the full-grown adult, trying to overpower him to no avail. His attacker had gotten the upper hand. Slowly, it brought its head down. Blood or saliva, Quinn couldn’t tell, trickled down onto his neck. Any moment now... and as his putrid, revolting breath filled his nostrils, he remembered the screams. The screams that he wished he had never heard. The screams that chased him as he ran, ran for dear life. He also remembers from whom the screams originated from. He remembers them pleading. He remembers them begging and sobbing. He remembers them crying. What he most remembers though, is when they stopped.

Ye Olde Soliloquy...for Crush Number 2
Why would I even bother with such a cause? 'Tis madness. 'Tis folly. 'Tis...hopeless. Before me stands reasons so compelling that my mind has stopped dreaming. Shackle my hands for I shan't be able to prevent them from relieving me of this mortal coil if I cannot be appeased. Treacherous emotion, have I not suffered enough for a thousand lifetimes?...And yet, my heart does not stop feeling. Forsake thy unquestionable logic! The truth does not set me free. For if all I do does not matter, then what does matter...is what I do...now. And with this, this new vigor and resolve, my heart beats madly and in tune with newly conjured thoughts of chivalry and romance and love once again. 'Tis not befitting of a man to give up, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. Thy sweet, alluring, dazzling, marvelous, radiant, Crush Number 2..I will not falter, I will not fail. Fair maiden, may my hands find the warmth of yours and let my heart's desires be obtained.

High School Musical 3: Senior Year Facts (There Will Be Spoilers)
1. Zac Efron is a hound dog/manly man/man-crushable/sexy beast/gay-maker. He is handsome noh? And I bet every girl in the cinema wanted him to turn around when he took off his shirt.
2. Every time he has a problem though, he looks like a pussy. Dear lord he sheds too many man-tears and makes too many damn faces. Grow some balls Troy Bolton!
3. His b-ball skills leave a lot to be desired though.
4. Corbin Bleu is a year younger than me??? His duet with Zac smelled vaguely homo-erotic. The boys are back indeed. (The tricks with the wheel were cool though.)
5. I wasn't feeling Rocketman or Tiara Gold. If they're the leads of HSM4: We're All In This Together Again, I'm not watching.
6. Why couldn't Zeke get more lines?!?!?!
7. Why couldn't Kelsi get MORE SCREEN TIME! FREE KELSI!!! She's the prettiest one there.
8. (In my best Simon Cowell voice): Why Ashley, you're a naughty little minx aren't you? (Take that whatever way you want.)
9. I half-expected Zac and Vanessa to get it on like two...wild...cats whenever they were alone. The tree house, the hammock, HER BEDROOM! Geez, Disney needs to release a PG-13 version...
...I am going to hell.
10. Kelsi > Taylor + Martha. HELL YES!
11. Ryan pulled those pink pants off like I pull off pink shirts. (Some of my classmates might get this reference.)
12. Favorite song from the movie: Now or Never
13. Least favorite song from the movie: Scream a.k.a. Bet On It Part II. God damn it.
14. Favorite scene(s) from the movie: How Zac asked Gabriella to prom and "My prom is wherever you are." I wish someone asked me to prom like that. (I am not gay.) There were about a two hundred people going "Aawww" during those scenes and one of them was me. (I could've said only one of them was a guy and I woulda still been right. I am not gay.) Be still my beating heart. (I am not gay.)
15. Least favorite scene(s) in the movie: Everytime Gabriella had a short dress or short shorts. I felt sorry for her. We could see her tush. And HOW COULD SHE BIKE???...Waittaminute, I'm a man! Bring on the short shorts!!!!
16. I wish they could've gotten in a character moment for Troy's mom besides "I'm so proud of you!" She never gets any screen time.
17. The basketball in the movie kinda sucked. (So did the half-time speech which was all of 1 minute. Geez.)
18. I LOVE YOU OLESYA RULIN (Kelsi)!!!!!
19. The last word on HSM3: KELSI!!!!!...Okay fine, the real last word(s): I can't wait for High School Musical 4: The College Life. The story: Everything is R-18 now. Muwahahahahahahahaha!

Power
It's been a month since it happened.
That horrible, terrible, unfathomable night when the truth just couldn't be the truth. It's a terrible thing when you can't comprehend something. I think that's why knowledge is power. Because once it sets in, once you learn and understand something, then you're back in control again. While you're confused and shocked and terrified though, it's the most horrible and disturbing thing in the world. But then I learned and understood. I accepted it. And then I felt the power. The power to laugh. The power to smile. The power to look past it, to stare at it and turn away. I realized that it was over. That I had to move on. Because it's what I should do to honor him.
I won't forget.
Estel.

Wow.
The seventh episode of Entourage. That ending. Wow. It just came together. The four previous seasons came together at that one silently spectacular moment. Vince and the girl he wanted. Ari and the job he wanted. Just as they're about to jet off for greener pastures, there it is.
I have to give praise to Jeremy Piven and Adrian Grenier because that last scene was one of the most amazing things I've ever scene on television. And I've scene plenty. Lost, Buffy, Angel, Battlestar Galactica, Friday Night Lights. This one's up there. It was just...perfect. The setting sun, orange and glowing in the background lighting their already triumphant and jubilant faces. The music, like a lullaby to their almost father and son like relationship. Ari telling Vince first. Ari NOT CUSSING. Vince shook up. It was a perfect scene by these two actors and the whole crew behind the show altogether. It was the moment which defined the show. This is a story about the unique relationship between an actor and his agent. Here they were stripped of all the glitz and glamour (and the cussing) of their Hollywood lives. It was...spine-chilling. The hairs on my back stood up...Wow.
I love Entourage.
