Hey! I may or may not be putting off study, but I know we have several friends in common, but also have crazy amounts of television interests in common too [eeeep! The West Wing, House, and I know you are a newly converted Office Fan - yay!] And oh, combined uni degree? I am so there too. So to end my rambling, would love to friend you!

[julester1.livejournal.com]

And oh, not to freak you out more or anything, I think you are the first person on LJ who I have seen list Spongebob SquarePants as an interest, and heeeeee! that is awesome in its own right. Love!

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

Hee! Spongebob pwns. The weekend marathons are the only thing i watch on cable these days ;)

And eeee! I got Jim! *jumps icon* Now, do i comment back with a Spongebob icon, or a Jim? Decisions, decisions. Obviously i need to make myself a combined Jim/Spongebob icon so as to avoid this problem in the future. *nods wisely*

[julester1.livejournal.com]

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

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

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*

[julester1.livejournal.com]

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!

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

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*

[julester1.livejournal.com]

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*

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

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*

[julester1.livejournal.com]

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*

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

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 ;)

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

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.

[julester1.livejournal.com]

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!

[julester1.livejournal.com]

Oh. I don't know what's up with the blank comment - although I can see it now. Confused....

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

Lmao. Well, i may or may not be putting off study by replying. Actually, i'm totally putting off study - i have a chem mid-term tomorrow ;) And after replying, i'm going to put off study some more by going on a cross suburb hunt for diet coke. And then i'm going to watch tv. Good times, good times.

Omg. I don't think i have a single West Wing fan on my flist yet. So. Freaking. Cool. And Sports Night! *flails* And god, i cannot stop watching The Office. It's insane how obsessed i've become in such a short time.

Combined uni degrees are procrastinatey-love, aren't they? What are you taking?

Friended! ♥

[julester1.livejournal.com]

So, what you're saying is that we are both just enabling each other?? Good times! Hee, clearly you have perfected the art of stalling study!

No West Wing fans yet?? That is all kinds of wrong! TWW was my first big fandom show! And Sports Night = awesome! Have you watched any of Studio 60 yet? Heh, I SO understand what you mean about The Office - I only got into in June, and it was all downhill from there. I am officially in love with my season 2 DVDs!

Heh, totally. Commerce/Science, with a diploma in modern languages, just to be extra crazy. Should be graduating next year. Still no real idea what I want to do. *in denial*

♥!!

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

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*

[julester1.livejournal.com]

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!

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

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 ;)

[julester1.livejournal.com]

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...

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

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*

[julester1.livejournal.com]

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!

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

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*

[julester1.livejournal.com]

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...

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

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.
