Daydreams/Nightmares

D probably won't care about this at all, but I am an art student, damnit, and I'm going to make a post about art. If you only want to know about trashy pop culture, just go back and read the post about Tila Tequila again.

I had to do a project where I came up with my own exhibition for one of my classes, and I really liked the one I came up with, so I'm posting it on the internet. My exhibition was about artists that create narratives around their work, so that each piece has kind of its own little world built around it.

There's Always Money in the Banana Stand!

I know I am the last person on the planet to have watched this show, but just in case there's someone on another another planet reading this blog...

OH MY GOD ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT IS THE FUNNIEST THING EVER I LOVE IT OH MY GOD.

I feel like I could say a lot about how much I love Michael Cera (and I really, really love Michael Cera... D will disagree with me about this), and how great Portia de Rossi is, and how much I love her and Ellen, and how much I love Ellen, and how funny Jason Bateman is, and how I like him so much more in this show than his douchey dad in Juno, and how much I loved Michael Cera in Juno, and how much I love Michael Cera in everything else he's in, and by the way I really love Michael Cera, and I don't know who Alia Shawkat is but I want her to be in more things so somebody hire her, and Tobias is hilarious, and just every character on this show is perfect, and the script is amazing, and the voice-over narration doesn't even bother me because of how much I love this show, and I watched the first ten episodes on hulu today so I haven't seen that much of it, but it's so good.

But since everyone except me has already seen this show, that's all unnecessary, because you already know.

So instead I'm just going to go watch the rest of the first season now.

900 Channels and on Not One of Them Can I See Lemmy Killmeister Mime a Violin

There are a bajillion reasons why the internet is the greatest thing ever invented ever. One of them is because HOW DOES IT WORK?! Crazy. Another one of them is because all the shows that aren't available on American television can all be found one way or another. Which is how I've discovered my new obsessions:

Maybe I'm a little late on this one, because everybody seems to already know how great this show is, but holy bajeebus, I am in love with SKINS. I started watching when I saw Dev Patel on Ellen talking about it (and can I just say, he might be the cutest ever), and now I'm hooked. I'm only on the second season, but seriously, why doesn't this show run in America? Start watching right now. DO IT.

Secondly, have you ever watched an American reality show and thought, this must be the dumbest thing in the entire universe? That other countries can't possibly have worse shows than ours? That's probably not true, but when you start feeling fed up with American game shows, look into Never Mind the Buzzcocks:

Possibly I only think it's hilarious because I can identify most of the musicians on the show. But come on, that was LEMMY KILLMEISTER. FROM MOTORHEAD. In the few clips I've seen (read: twelve thousand youtube videos I watched yesterday), Chrissie Hynde, Amy Winehouse (pre-crackpipe and pre-beehive, looking very healthy and coherent), Adam Ant, and a Spice Girls tribute band have appeared on the show. I'm fascinated. I don't get it, but I love watching it.
