I Am The Walrus

Music doesn’t do it for me anymore. While cutting and pasting and averaging and analyzing on the most underrated, most misunderstood software (Excel), I need to work the rest of my brain or else that part will sleep and then the rest of my brain will sleep. There’s almost always nothing good on TV in the middle of the afternoon. Radio streaming will bog my computer down (and besides, which radio station is worth listening to nowadays?). And my mp3 collection is getting old. So I turned to stand-up.

Right now, I have four choices: I have Chris Rock’s HBO special on CD, Adam Sandler’s and Jimmy Fallon’s "Best of…" CDs, and Dane Cook’s very efficient video-streaming website. I also have a small collection of Saturday Night Live clips.

I hear Rex Navarete, although not good looking, is hilarious yet Pinoy. Will look for him next.

I have a whole discourse in my head of how stand-up can save your life but unfortunately I have to work so ta.

My ever changing Friendster primary photo proves to you that (a) I am very insecure of my looks and (b) I have a crush of the month that is usually a comedian. Except for Daniel Radcliffe.

Last month, my primary photo was Jimmy Fallon. Do not judge him based on his movies Taxi and Perfect Catch (Fever Pitch if you’re in the US). Don’t even judge him based on his hosting skills during the last MTV Movie Awards. He’s good-looking AND funny — the order of the words ever important since his funniness doesn’t work on everyone but everyone agrees that he’s good-looking. He is an alumnus of Saturday Night Live, a show I love but don’t diligently watch because I don’t have cable (I download episodes instead) and he is a brilliant and gorgeous comedian. But he is currently unemployed and last I saw him, chubby.

When September rolled in, I chaged my primary photo to Seth Meyers, another SNL feature player and one of the champs of Celebrity Poker Showdown. Seth is handsome but if you google his name, there’s not much stuff on him on the net.

My October guy is going to be Dane Cook. I doubt that any of you knows Dane Cook. Check out his website www.danecook.com. He is a hilarious, sexy, wonderful stand-up comic and he’s going to be HUGE someday. I hear he has a sitcom in the works so hope that won’t bomb.

If you’re like me and 150 mp3 files on your computer just don’t entertain you anymore, turn to standup. Check out the website. Seriously.

You can ignore this post. I just don’t want to get pen and paper for this haha…

WARNING: Major Half-Blood Prince Spoilers! Read at your own risk!

1.) Snape killed Dumbledore. But Dumbledore has always trusted Snape. Did Snape really betray Dumbledore? Is Dumbledore really dead?

2.) Voldemort remains immortal because his soul is divided into seven different parts, each part contained in seven separate objects, all of which must be destroyed to ulimately kill him. There are four definite horcruxes to date: the diary, Slytherin’s locket, Hufflepuff’s cup and Marvolo’s ring. Nagini, the snake may or may not be a horcrux. The remaining horcruxes may be something of Gryffindor’s or Ravenclaw’s. It could be the sorting hat, the sword of Gryffindor (which I highly doubt), some even said Harry himself or his scar. But I thought the prophecy said that neither will live while the other survives, so if Voldemort kills Harry, wouldn’t he be destroying one of his Horcruxes?

3.) Ron and Hermione will end up together. That’s not a question, it’s a statement. The how and the when is the interesting part.

4.) Will Harry get a new girlfriend in his last year at Hogwarts? (I doubt it)

5.) With Dumbledore gone, who will replace him as Headmaster? McGonagall?

6.) With Snape gone, who will be the next Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher? Will Slughorn continue to teach Potions or will he be running for his life?

7.) Will Hogwarts still be open on Harry’s 7th year, what with the Dark Mark hovering above it, Dumbledore’s death in the hands of a professor, among many other issues? (Rowling has said that she has written her last Quidditch match in book 6).

8.) Will we uncover the mystery of Snape’s character, his connection to Lily Potter (who, as Slughorn has said, was also brilliant in Potions), his becoming a Death Eater, and his dislike-yet-protectiveness of Harry? I mean, really, he could’ve killed Harry many times.

9.) Will the Order of the Phoenix be relevant in Harry’s quest for the Horcruxes? Or are they just there for the final battle?

10.) Will I be able to afford book 7? (ngyahahaha)
