Break dancing Snowmen

Remember how a while back I said I was going to put random titles when I didn’t know what to put? Well, you just witnessed one of them. :P

How has my life been since my last update post thing?

I was kinda sick last week. Well, my voice went away, then it turned into a cough, but now I’m fine. :)

I’m taking a pre-SAT Practice test thing tomorrow, so technically, I don’t have any homework for tomorrow. :) But I’ll probably do some long term stuff.

My Grandma came back from California last night… at like 11:45. But she came home at like 1:30 in the morning so I saw her when I came home today.

School? Ugh, I feel so stressed out and nervous now.

• In photo, we need to have 3 prints for this project, and I had 3, but 1 of them got lost, and the other two suck. :( And I’m like… the most behind in my class. D: And I don’t have class until Monday so I reeeaaaally hope I don’t get a bad grade. I mean, I ask for help, and technically, he never told us the due date, so I might be safe? And I always work my a$$ off in that class, so maybe he’ll be nice-ish? If I don’t finish the project by next Tuesday/Wednesday then I plan on staying after a lot, until he just gets sick of me and goes like 'Okay, you got the A! Now, go home!”, okay, so that won’t happen, but it won’t hurt to stay after. This was a really long run on.
• AP USH I- Our teacher yelled at our class of 28 students because 5 or 6 students talked a lot. Now, we have a quiz on the Constitution(That’s the one with the Amendments, right? :P) and answer like 30 questions for tomorrow. But I’m not going to be in class tomorrow, so I have until next Monday to finish! :D

I’m starting to want Late Night. It looks so pretty and fun.

Fran Drescher’s talk show is this Friday! I’m probably gonna watch it. I hope it doesn’t get cancelled! And DWTS tonight: Will Bristol win? I hope not. I don’t watch, but I read AE’s blog enough to know she doesn’t belong there.

Oh, and Dan Schneider replied on his blog. He was like ‘Oh yeah, my team deleted your comments because it’s affiliated with Nickelodeon and little kiddies go on. I didn’t make the ads. But sorry, the next special will be bigger, better, and answer questions!”. Bull.

In other news, Miley Cyrus is a legal, 18 year old adult today. Let’s see the clothes fly off now [/sarcasm]. *eyeroll*

So, how was your… day/week/whatever?

Mid Week Update

Here’s a mixture of my thoughts and random tidbits from Saturday:

• I saw the iSam’s Mom special for iCarly. It was good, but the side plot seemed like it could’ve been it’s own episode. They needed more Jane Lynch in it. I hope Nickelodeon keeps her around. Oh, and I caught up with the iGot a Hot Room special. I thought it was funny, but the spoilers in trailers sucked. And I wonder if they’re gonna keep the high budget room.
• Yesterday was good and bad. My AP US I teacher acted like… something I can’t say publicly on the Internet. My backpack broke. I probably gave off a bad impression to my English teacher for not saying hi to him in the halls. And I almost missed my bus. And then that Sara vs Jarsie stuff. But….. I realized I have a lot of stuff to be thankful for: My Dad fixed my backpack and I still have my family and a lot of stuff to be thankful for. So in the end, I realized that just because my school day was bad, it didn’t mean my life was bad. Especially after reading this post on Kami's blog, and thinking about all the other people in the world who are less fortunate. I’m starting to sound like my Grandmother. o.O
• Today went good. I guess it’s after overanalyzing yesterday. :P I took my school picture today, but I’m not sure if I bended too much(Look this way, put your legs here, no not there, on the marks, thaaaattt’s it, now smiiile!) or smiled too fake, or if my eyes looked creepy or anything. No, I don’t look that horrible(I hope *knocks on wood*), but sometimes when I take a picture(Or at least for school related stuff), I get nervous and… you’ve seen any picture day episode of any kidcom, haven’t you? I had no homework today, which was good. I just feel a little ripped off. I mean, yeah, I started some long term homework, and I did some recycling in my basement, and I ate out with my family, but I wanted to do more than just reading a blog or two and catching up with my FarmVille. Eh, I should be grateful for having a nice day and leave it at that. Oh, and I got an A on an AP assignment. But I get back another test from the first day of school tomorrow…. yikes. *Reads last bullet to feel happy*
• Oh yeah, more TV stuff. The VMAs… MTV, why the hell did you move your show to 9? I’m sure a lot of people don’t give a fudge about what some wannabe D lister is wearing. And if it’s because Chelsea Handler is vulgar, well, that’s your problem. It was a school night, and I had to sleep, so I just watched up to Taylor singing. She’s awesome. Oh, and Lady GaGa? I think it’s MTV’s fault for nominating her so many times. I felt bad for everyone else who didn’t win stuff. They should’ve stop at like 5 nominations.
• Disney time. I missed the first half of Hannah Montana because I thought the VMAs started at 8 because MTV showed their pre show instead. So, basically, the horse didn’t die and Miley lied to Lily, broke her leg and almost killed her pet horse because she didn’t admit about climbing the gym rope. Or something like that. Way to go, Miley. On the other hand, I think that the Good Luck Charlie was funny. That was the first time I liked G Hannelius or whatever her name is. I thought Teddy’s dancing was adorable! And the show is still good, to me.
• Melissa and Joey? Eh. I was catching up on the blogosphere, so I felt lost throughout the episode. Eh, ABCFamily will air it a bunch of more times anyway, so I’m not missing out on anything, right?

Not Again, Disney!

So, Hannah Montana on Disney Channel recently had Miley/Hannah break up with her ‘true love’ Jake for cheating on her. Keep in mind that he’s an actor and the picture of him cheating could’ve been a picture of him from a movie, although he didn’t deny cheating. But anyway, now Miley is single again, and, she likes some guy from last season. She ends up ignoring her Dad and rescheduling a Father/Daughter day with him to go out with Jesse, the guy. Then, on the date, Jesse takes a call from his Dad, when Miley flips out on him, saying that she had to leave her Dad for a day with him, and he can’t ignore one phone call. But… Jesse’s Dad is in Afghanistan! Then the commercial ends with ‘A special performance by Hannah Montana dedicated to military families’! Okay, no offense intended to military families or anyone, but it bothers me how Disney just summed up the episode in 20 seconds. Yes, I’m still going to watch it if I’m home, but it bothers me that now others won’t because they summed it up. And for this special, important episode, they spoiled the plot, but for other random episodes, they don’t tell us anything.

They’ve done the same with Good Luck Charlie, like the episode with the anniversary. ‘The kids plan a special anniversary dinner for Mom and Dad! But will plans fall apart? *Cue showing Charlie ruining the Moroccan theme*’. And then that episode where Teddy sucks up to her teacher ‘Teddy’s teacher doesn’t like her! So will she use Charlie to help her?’, and then they said something about Charlie being gassy. Basically, they always spoil the episode within the commercial.

The only show they haven’t done this for is Suite Life On Deck (I know who’s getting eliminated kicked off, but from outside blogs, not Disney), and it’s basically on it’s sixth season. Wizards of Waverly Place doesn’t get spoiling commercials, but… misleading commercials, which are just as bad. And Sonny With a Chance? My brother figured out who did it in the one hour special, Sonny with a Secret, before that episode even aired.

That iCarly episode where she gets a brand new room had not 1, or 2, but 3 places to stop the commercial! ‘It’s Carly’s birthday!’, ‘But there’s a disaster!’ and ‘Her new room/Spencer saves the day’, but not actually showing the room! I was gonna watch it, until I realized, A) It would be on reruns(I haven’t seen it yet D:), B) It would be on Demand(It’s not there, either), and C)They already showed pictures of her room online, so I’m not really missing anything. This commercial spoiling thing is a multi-network phenomenon!

But overall, I’m happy Disney did a special episode, but they should’ve just end the commercial with ‘But will a phone call ruin their date?’, then show the performance clip .

Another Reason to Hate Disney

I’ll start this post off with restating that yes, I’m a 15 year old boy who (still) watches Disney Channel and Nickelodeon. And it’s not as mind numbing as everyone says it is, or at least some of the shows are watchable. So anyway, I haven’t seen any new episodes of Wizards of Waverly Place in a while and I read that the last few episodes of this season will be big (According to TVTropes, anyway), so I was concerned that either A) Disney realized it has more than tweens watching it so they’re screwing it to end it or B) Disney aired only a few promos for the new episodes, and it got blocked out by Phineas and Ferb or Suite Life on Deck stuff.

But guess what I found out on Wikipedia? The fourth season and second movie will be the last parts of the series, and then they’re just gonna cancel production on it.  Yes, I understand that 4 seasons and 2 movies is a lot for a kids show, but still. It’s going to end around 2011 or 2012, whereas other shows on Disney got like 6 years of production or marketing, and tons of merchandise and music, concerts, and dolls(Hannah Montana) or they were on Disney for 3 seasons, then they got a ‘spinoff’(I use that term very loosely), and are still surviving another 3 seasons(The Suite Life series. But seriously, it’s basically 6 seasons of the same show.) So why can’t Wizards survive? If the trio(Well, David Henrie and Selena Gomez, anyway) are getting too old, can’t they just add some adult humor, retool it a little, and send it to ABC Family? I mean, seriously! They already had an episode where Alex(Selena Gomez) kills someone (Well, freezes, then unintentionally breaks into pieces and shrug off). Can’t they just make it like Sabrina the Teenage Witch more?

So, in another Disney news… that Den Brother movie aired. Just from watching those commercials, I knew what the entire movie would be. Main kid(Hutch Dano or something?) is annoying, gets in trouble for ego, takes care of annoying sister and friends(G… something. Couldn’t they shorten her last name, too?), ‘hilarious’ montage takes place where Hutch dresses up as their (female) adult chaperone, antics which only embarrass and kill any chance of Hutch’s career outside of Disney occur, then Hutch goes out on a date with random Girl. RG then goes like ‘What? You’re a jerk! I hate you! You suck!’ or something among those lines, and then this is when Hutch decides to change his act with the help of some annoying background music, which totally isn’t symbolic of anything. Then there’s something involving hockey, like a game against the rival team, and while Hutch takes annoying sister and friends there as a ‘field trip’, one of the team members on the hockey team get injured (Bonus points if it’s the former best friend) and Hutch has to sub for him or something (It’s Disney, and I don’t get involved in sports, so I’m not sure if that’s allowed), but there’s some regulation about… I don’t know, but they don’t let him play. So then, brilliantly, annoying sister plays! And there’s some random moment like potential love interest for Random Girl on the rival team crosses the line and almost knocks the sister out, and then there’s a slow motion/suspense moment where, guess what? The little sister wins the game. And then the Random Girl falls in love with Hutch and the movie ends with a song, which is probably performed by Hutch or the sister. Bonus points if it’s a duet.

Yeah, I need to watch less Disney.

Disney’s Double Trouble with Double Standards

Remember how when I started this blog, I said it would be less random? Well… I kind of lied. :X

So with me having like no homework on Memorial Day Weekend, I was bored, and decided to go on the Free On Demand section that I get with Verizon. And since I still watch Disney Channel as well as Nickelodeon(To be fair, I started re-watching their shows after reading TVTropes, they provide kind of different and original views on shows), I checked the Disney section out.

I was watching Suite Life On Deck, because I had nothing else to do. And there was that ‘Bermuda triangle alternate reality’ episode, but instead, Zack and Cody just became separated at birth. The twins switched personalities with each other, and normally, everyone on the show hates Cody for being sensitive, disliking sports, applying himself in school, and so on. But in this episode, they hated Alternate-Reality Cody because HE was a womanizer, could care less about school, lazy and so on. Okay Disney, let me get this straight, so it’s okay to hate friendly people in one world, and then the exact opposite in the other? In the AR world, everyone was all ‘shame on you Cody DX’ to Cody, but in their ‘real’ world, everyone hates Cody for being friendly and sensitive. Seriously, that whole episode was just Cody abuse. They didn’t even have a moral of ‘Extremes are bad, moderations are good’ or anything, just ‘Be careful what you wish for’.

And then, I heard that JONAS is getting a second season, but the whole show is being remodeled, revamped, and rewritten, because the Jonases are ‘moving’(Truth: JONAS failed to attract viewers, merchandise, or anything, so they’re doing everything they can to save it.). Oh, so when a show that doesn't have eye candy as it's main stars doesn’t do that good, you have to kill it immediately, but when it’s a cash cow like JONAS(Who already have Camp Rock,  Living the Dream, their own music ‘career’, and other junk),  you have to try EVERYTHING to save it? Good gosh. With Hannah Montana ending(They have another special episode coming, this time on Military families), Suite Life having no end in site, Wizards wrapping up on it’s third season, and Sonny with a Chance having no chance, Disney needs to learn what to do with their shows. Oh, and Good Luck Charlie seems nice for now, but I wonder how the Jason Dolley curse will affect it.

 

Happy Memorial Day!
