No one else I know understands the awesomeness of Spongebob humour. Eeeeee!!

Ha. Should I confess that I don't have a SB icon?? Bad me! But yes, a combined Jim/SB icon is obviously the only solution. Oh, Jim. *loves him for wanting to be more than that*

Oh, and if you couldn't figure it out, I am a rather compulsive replier - you have been warned. :P

[identity profile] bertiebob.livejournal.com 2006-10-20 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
How can one not appreciate the awesomeness of Spongebob humour? *is shocked* I'm totally going to make us a Jim/SB icon. Hee. Tonight is going to be all about the post-exam-wind-down randomness.

Aww, Jim. He's so fucking adorable. I just constantly want to hug him, he's so ... sad. *stares at download window* Go faster, evil Telstra connection, go FASTER.

Oh yay! Me too. I don't understand how people can NOT reply when you post a comment or whathaveyou. I'm like, if i was having a conversation with you and i was all "hey, i hear ya, those 's really pwned, man", you wouldn't just look at me and walk away. /gripe

Hee. We can reply-spam each other's posts. *smirks*

Ha. I LOVE being an enabler. I'm considering baking in lieu of studying. I'm thinking ... brownies, maybe. *taps chin*

I know! Josh/Donna was probably my first big 'ship obsession. *nostalgic* I've seen the first 3 of Studio 60, and i REALLY like it. I love the Matthew Perry/Bradley Whitford dynamic - they're so sweet. And, oddly, Amanda Peet doesn't piss me off. Usually she does, but i really like her character in this.

I think this (The Office) is the fastest i've ever gotten obsessed with something. It's fairly disturbing, but it seems to be a fairly common occurrence ;) Oooh, dvds. That's next on my list.

Ooh, commerce? Yikes. :P Wow, i'm not graduating for ... ever, really. Two years until i finish my undergrad, and then there's 4yrs of grad and ... there's and end somewhere, i'm sure. *laughs*

[identity profile] julester1.livejournal.com 2006-10-20 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly!! I don't know what's up with that. HA! Awesome.

Gah. Oh, Jim. I've just been reading stuff about the newest episode. Eeeep! One part in particular sounds really really good. I will live vicariously through you *wills your connection faster*

Hehehe. That cracks me up. Now I'm imagining just ending face to face conversations by staring and walking away.

Yay! Oh, congrats on getting through your exam!

[identity profile] julester1.livejournal.com 2006-10-20 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
I want brownies! Well, I actually want lunch, but I'm sitting here in a computer lab instead. Ha. Clearly working...

Josh/Donna WERE my first big ship. Love! MP and BW together sound like they would be awesome. Saw a clip of them together when they were doing a set tour thing, and they were just hilarious. Oh, Brad. Lots of people seem to have gripes with Amanda Peet, but I've never really minded her. Oh, should I ask about your spoiler policy too before I talk some more?

Was the first time you had watched an episode seriously when you were in Melb and Emily got you hooked?? Because, yep, that's pretty intense! Even I worked up to it a little. DVDS ARE LOVE! [commentaries are love!]

Heh, that was me being pragmatic! And I'm talking about undergrad too - I'm thinking of doing some postgrad stuff, but just want to at least finish something!

[identity profile] bertiebob.livejournal.com 2006-10-20 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Stuff? What stuff? Spoil me :| I need to know. (The only thing i've heard is that we get to see Dwight's beet farm! *snort* I'm so excited!) As soon as i wrote 'hurry up' i swear, it went slower. *kicks it*

Lmao. I should try that out today, it would be so much fun. "blah blah blah asscakes" / "..." *walks away* Hee. I haven't done the exam yet, sadly - it's at 4pm. I should've booked an earlier slot and just got it over with so i could come home and relax. Hmph.

Grrrrrr. 22.6% *kicks it again*

[identity profile] julester1.livejournal.com 2006-10-20 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Hee! It sounds pretty funny, but the important stuff?? Jim. Pam. Phone conversation. Eeeee!! Apparently it's a really good scene, and they both don't expect the other to be on the phone. Pam's first response is 'oh my god'. And there's something about an angsty misunderstanding to end the convo.

Ha. You so should! Oh, gah. Did you book it thinking, I'll get some study done beforehand? Am I enabling you from studying? Because bad! Conversely, you should relax a bit before the exam! You can relax tonight though!

*pets it...maybe love will work better than violence*

[identity profile] bertiebob.livejournal.com 2006-10-20 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
I could mail them to you, but it's getting pretty hot outside, so that could get ugly. Heh. Everyone would end up with brown mail. Funny.

I think the WW set must have been so amazingly fun to work on, they were such an awesome cast. Allison Janney wins at everything. She needs to get a new series, cause i'm going to miss seeing her every week. *mopes* (Also, Victor Garber - i miss my spy!Daddy.)

I'm not even sure why i didn't like Amanda Peet, i just ... had a thing. Maybe she was in something else and i didn't like her? Who knows. Hah. My policy? On spoilers? They are ♥ ♥ ♥

Um. Em brought the dvds to the hotel, and we watched the first one probably ... early afternoon Saturday. And i was instantly hooked, and we watched the entire second season in one long run. I started downloading eps Sunday afternoon, and had everything by the end of that week, i think. So, fast. Super super fast ;) (Commentaries? Please tell me there aren't cast commentaries, cause if there are i'll have to go and buy it right now.)

I wish i'd been pragmatic. I was more ... procrastinate-y. I could be halfway through med-school by now if i'd just stopped assing about. *curses* Still, i'm getting there. It's all good. That's me trying to be optimistic and not panic about how fucking old i'm getting ;)

[identity profile] bertiebob.livejournal.com 2006-10-20 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
o_O

Omg. DOWNLOAD FASTER. This is just the best show ever. Beet Farm trips, AND angsty phone conversation misunderstandings. *guh*

That's exactly what i was thinking. *laughs* And yet, here i am. I'll look over my notes before i leave, it'll make me feel productive. For now, i'm going to stare at the download window ;)

Lmao. It's obviously pro-petting, cause it's sped up a little! *bounces*

[identity profile] julester1.livejournal.com 2006-10-20 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
Hee. I'll take a brownie miss for the good of everyone else's mail. What a sacrifice I make!

I know!! I love casts which clearly love working with each other [same goes for The Office] I thought I heard a rumour that she was going to do a comedy show - and didn't VG have a new legal show or something? Ha, could I be more vague?

Heee!! That's my policy too! I was just going to mention how they are writing in AP's pregnancy into Studio 60 plot - interesting...

Heeeeeeee!! Seriously?? That is awesome. Awesome, I tell you! And ha, um, there are cast commentaries - 10 in total. Some better than others, but basically, so so so good! Jenna and John are awesome when they are together too - teaser. [I think commentary for the Client or possibly the Secret... Jenna: And then we made up. John: Made out? Jenna: Made up. That's another episode] Me? Obsessed? And 2 hours of deleted scenes, including some heartbreaking Jim scenes from The Client and Booze Cruise [eeep, he has to make a toast for Roy and Pam] Yep, I could go on for hours. Seriously.

But I've never really known what I want to do. Gah. Most of my friends are almost graduating with their med degrees! Yay for optimism! And hee, I think I'm about the same age as you, so I can relate...

[identity profile] julester1.livejournal.com 2006-10-20 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
ajjdklajdalsk. I love Jim's expression! I love his no more coke expression! [and how he pitifully presses the button one more time afterwards] And kasjldjasd Jenna commentating about the hi/hey scene being magical?? JUST GET THE DVDS ALREADY! :P

And in between the angst, there is some lovely talking too!! DOWNLOAD FASTER! I AM SLIGHTLY HYPER!

Yes, that sounds like a plan. And yes, staring totally makes it go faster...and does petting. *pets*

[identity profile] bertiebob.livejournal.com 2006-10-20 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Lol. You're very brave. I'll eat extra brownies in your honour.

Oh really? *intruiged* Omg. Allison Janney rumours that i HAVEN'T HEARD?! What is up with the world? I heard something about Victor being in a new show, but i never actually saw anything.

Um. Omg. I'm a fuckwad. It's called 'Justice', and it's been on for ages. I'm so observant. And hey, Kerr Smith! Hee.

AHHHHHZOMG CAST COMMENTARIES. You should NOT have told me that. I'm the biggest cast commentary whore EVER :| I'll be ordering them tonight. Someone needs to create a community where you can download commentaries :(

It took me forever to finally admit what i wanted to do. To myself, that is, most of my family/friends still don't know. I'm not big with the sharing. *denial* Omg, we're old. Lmao. It doesn't bother me so much until i realise that i'm sitting in class with a bunch of 17/18 year olds. *sigh*

[identity profile] bertiebob.livejournal.com 2006-10-20 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
I know! I'm constantly running out of diet coke (cause i drink it like water - very bad, i know) and now when i do i make that face. Heh. Nobody gets it. *woe* Um, what now? OMG I NEED THE DVDS. I'M GOING TO SELL OFF ORGANS. *grabby hands*

10 mins to go! *dances* I'm so hyper, man. Last mid-term i was high on pain killers, this time i'm going to be high on The Office and coke. Drew (hot chem boy, just fyi) will be amused ;)

[identity profile] bertiebob.livejournal.com 2006-10-20 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
OMG IT WINS AT LIFE. Thank you for your help in speeding up the download ;) And now i'm going to go pretend to study. Or ... watch it again.

The phone thing was LOVE. There was cuteness, and angst, and a Sandra Bullock joke! *snort* Seriously just, the best thing ever.

[identity profile] julester1.livejournal.com 2006-10-21 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
My computer is being idiotically slow recently. What's up with that? I hope you stocked up on yummy brownies!

I thought it was for a CBS comedy or something, but I don't think anything came of it since pilot season came and went... Yep, Justice was the one I was thinking of. Oh, have you seen any of Ugly Betty? I keep reading good things about it.

Heh!! I adore cast commentaries like nothing else. Gah. And The Office ones are so awesome, so I hope you got busy with the ordering. Mmmm, John Krasinski leads the cast in singing the theme song. Nuff said.

Heee. Yeah, mid-20s. How did that happen?? And yes, that's when I feel oldest! Or when I'm working with 15 year olds at work asking about my love life. Heh. Good times. Um, I think I'm going to have to comment on some of your latest posts so that I stop spamming your FO post!

[identity profile] julester1.livejournal.com 2006-10-21 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Eeeeeeeeeeeee!! I think I will comment more about the ep in your other post [just so you can get even more crazy random comments from me!], but I KNOW! The phone thing sounds awesome, so much better than what I was expecting. I only have d/l access when I'm illegally using it at uni [heh], but caught like the first minute of the phone convo on youtube and was already in love. 65 wpm. Oh, Jim! And heeee. I have a magical touch with downloads!

OMG! I would totally get that face if you ever ran out of diet coke with me [and yes, looky, I'm answering two comments in one - multitasking!] Jenna talks about how she was really hyper during filming Drug Testing because they were about to go on hiatus, and it's love! HEE!! YOU SO NEED TO DVDS!! But maybe not the organ thing. Maybe.... Plus, I need to read more about Drew, because hot sciencey guys = love!

[identity profile] julester1.livejournal.com 2006-10-21 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. I don't know what's up with the blank comment - although I can see it now. Confused....

[identity profile] bertiebob.livejournal.com 2006-10-21 10:37 am (UTC)(link)
I think it had a season. Or at least part of one. Imdb had like, 10 episodes up. I'll have to look into that. I haven't seen any of Ugly Betty, but i've been hearing good things too. Though seriously, i do NOT need another show to watch. *eyeroll*

Omg. I cannot tell you how much i LOVE cast commentaries. The Alias s1/2 commentaries? Seriously THE BEST THING EVER. Totally better than the actual show. *laughs*

Mmmm, John Krasinski leads the cast in singing the theme song.
Um. OMFGFTW. I won't be able to order them for a few weeks! I had to fork out a bunch of cash for stupid stuff today, and now i'm completely broke. *cries and cries and cries* Maybe i can bribe Brooke and get her to burn what she has until i can find the cash to hit amazon ;) MUST HAVE NOW. I have finals coming up, i need something to save me :|

Oh i KNOW. I'm sure i was 16 last year. I've been doing a lot of introspective 'omg how did i get here what have i been doing for the past 10 years?' type thinking. *frowns*

Hee. But spamming here is upping my comment count! So people will be like, 'whoa, she's so popular, i must friend her immediately'. *snort*

[identity profile] bertiebob.livejournal.com 2006-10-21 11:03 am (UTC)(link)
Hee. The crazy random comments are LOVE ;)

I uploaded the whole phone convo for Brooke, did you see the link? It's 23MB, if you can swing it. 65wpm. *snort* I'm sort of nerdishly proud to say that i'm at about 110. I spend waaay too much time on msn. *shakes head*

OMG. I need to come back to Melbourne so we can hang out and i can run out of coke and make the face and have you get it. Lmfao. And seriously - you're killing me with the cast-commentary teasing! This is one of those times i hate living in aus. Grrrr.

Ahh Drew. I should refrain from posting about him in an unlocked post in case he ever finds my LJ :P Then again i'm sure he'd appreciate an ego boost, being a guy and all. He's HOT. He's looks like David Sutcliffe. Hot hot hot. And nice. And funny. And smart. And ... okay, that's enough of an ego boost for him. *laughs*

[identity profile] bertiebob.livejournal.com 2006-10-21 11:04 am (UTC)(link)
"HE looks like" - i can spell, really i can. *eyeroll*

[identity profile] julester1.livejournal.com 2006-10-21 11:21 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, cancelled already?? US tv is so brutal - I always think about all those filmed pilots which lead to nothing. Heh, um, I didn't need a new show to watch like 10 shows ago. Woe. I rationalise it by telling myself I really only have a couple of shows that I am crazy about though. And America Ferrera is in it, and she is awesome. Um, I may or may not have seen here in Sisterhood of Travelling Pants just because Bradley Whitford was in the movie...

Heee!!! Alias season 1 finale commentary = ♥ ♥. SO much. VG randomly disappearing. Michael Vartan talking about how his stubble irritated Jennifer Garner's face and he had to shave? Awesome.

*pets* You'll get them - and if you get them post-exams, all the more time to indulge in them, guilt free! And seriously, I'll just keep randomly blurting out commentary stuff because it is all so awesome. Heh.

Yeah, I do that introspective thinking in small doses or else it will just completely freak me out.

HA!! Good point. Don't say I didn't warn you...

[identity profile] julester1.livejournal.com 2006-10-21 11:36 am (UTC)(link)
Hee. My ability to meet people who facilitate comment!spam is worrying for my procrastination!

Heee! Awesome. My computer is pathetic. It said it would take 10 hours to d/l 50Mb. Woe. Hee! I have no idea what wpm I do. *curious* Oh, I just got to the Sandra Bullock part when it cuts off. Gah, I adore Pam being so energetic about her movie watching and Jim with his feet on his desk. Gah.

Hehehehe. Yes, make the trip just for that! :P I'll organise a special vending machine that will ensure coke runs out! Region 1 DVDs are love! [random commentary tease #56 - John Krasinski was completely and genuinely embarrassed by the Hooter girls dancing for him]

Heeeee! Awww, he sounds lovely. So much better than some of the lab boy experiences I have had. But that's a story for a different time :P

[identity profile] julester1.livejournal.com 2006-10-21 11:38 am (UTC)(link)
And oh, who am I looking at in your icon?? *squints*

[identity profile] bertiebob.livejournal.com 2006-10-21 11:41 am (UTC)(link)
Well i'm not sure if it's been cancelled, but i mean, i haven't heard anything about it. Imdb says that it's still in production, so... Confusion. Lol. That's as far as my brain is going to go tonight.

Brad Whitford was in that movie? You mean i have to watch that movie? Goodgoddamn.

OMG! And everyone mocking VG about his lack of prop ability in the s1 finale. That was so fucking funny. And then Getaway(?)in s2, with Greg mocking MV about his after shave. *snort*

*grabby hands* WANT NOW. I sooo have no patience when it comes to stuff like this. Lmao.

[identity profile] bertiebob.livejournal.com 2006-10-21 11:51 am (UTC)(link)
Lmao. But it's so much fun!! I'm a total procrastination enabler. *winks*

Omg. That is pretty pathetic. Hee. You should totally test yourself - speaking of procrastination enabling, that's a whole hour there at least. Cause you do it once, and then you're like ... man, i can beat that time *tries again* ;)

You haven't seen the adorable awkwardness! Ohnoes! I wonder how big it would be if i cut it from there. Hmmm. And *snort* to the Sandra Bullock thing. I swear when 28 days later came out i was like, they're making a sequel? How strange. *facepalm* I feel less pathetic about it now cause there are adorable Office connotations ;)

OMG STOP IT. You're going to make me cry, dude. And guh, he's so damn cute.

He's pretty awesome. I don't have a chance in hell of anything happening, but you know, it's still nice to have hot boys as friends. *denial* We're currently taking Chem1A together, and we both need to do 1B over summer. I'm paranoid that i'm going to fail 1A and thus be excluded from 1B and miss out on an entire summer with him (and the other hot chem boys) - which would be EVIL. This is what i worry about, and not the fact that my entire schedule for 2007 will be fucked if i don't pass. Heh. Priorities, you know ;)
