My moment of brilliance

I successfully identified Roberto from this past week's episode of Off the Map = that one kid from the newer Fame who what's-her-face the evil dancer broke up with. Without the use of IMDb, thank you very much.
Speaking of Off the Map: I knew someone had to die at some point, but did it have to be the Fame kid? I actually cried during that whole scene with the wife.
ANY way, it's sad that I'm as proud as I am about this, BUT oh well. Also, this is why the IMDb app is the most essentiel thing on my iPhone.
(Related to ABC: Has anyone else seen the Secret Millionaire commercials from ABC? I feel like there's something messed up about the concept of reality show + charity.)

Other news from the week:
-FINALS FINISHED THANK GOD ALMIGHTY. I did pretty well on mine, Hallelujah.
-Saw Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, which was actually really funny and may help me get over my prejudice against old movies that do not involve singing and dancing.
-Finished four more books: The House of Bernarda Alba (a play read because of English), The Chocolate War (those kids terrify me), Thirteen Reasons Why (about a girl who commits suicide, but first makes tapes telling people why), and Me Talk Pretty One Day (David Sedaris!). I would recommend all four, though Thirteen Reasons Why is probably the most "mainstream" teen/YA book, while The Chocolate War is for fans of Lord of the Flies, and The House of Bernarda Alba is really one of those plays that comes off as really weird and kind of silly, but which has all sorts of hidden meanings/symbolism that's kind of fun to find in English class. Me Talk Pretty One Day was just hilarious.
-Haven't yet gotten around to watching Merlin or White Collar, but Fringe had some horribly distrubing imagery, and I am now upset with Peter. Also, really enjoying Being Human. Pretty Little Liars, meanwhile, has been sadly lacking in the Shit What Was That *SCREAM* category for the past couple of weeks, but hopefully next week will change that.
-Saw The Social Network (love for Andrew Garfield forever. Also, the whole twins thing was super weird - they made comments that amounted to "WE ARE THE SAME" ALL the time, which I found odd) and The King's Speech (like a smorgasbord of Pride and Prejudice actors/actresses! Elizabeth, Mr. Darcy, and Mr. Collins, all in one movie!). Watched the beginning of Paris, Je T'aime (the Chinese/Asian hair one was weird, the mime one had an adorable little kid, and the Muslim girl one was just really cute).
-Started catching up on House. Woo, sarcasm!
-French meeting today after school = I AM EXCITED! I want to start making packing lists now. Actually, I might go do that...
