Soooo I’ve been trying to decide between long and short hair for the last week or so. Why am I announcing this completely uninteresting, slightly-self-absorbed fact? Mainly because it sets up the following pictures. Plus, I’m getting married in 373 days, people! I need to figure out these things now.
Anyways. I decided to compare recent shorter hair Facebook pictures with my longer hair “in action” on late 2009 NuNews videos. I discovered that these are the ads that Blip.tv sets up with NuNews videos:
P.S. I still don’t know if I like my hair longer or shorter. In person, I love it shorter but in pictures, I like it longer. I also weigh like 4lbs less than in these pictures which isn’t a lot but it’s enough. A shorter hair picture can be found below. Ahhhhhh I hate choices.
P.P.S. I’ve been MIA this month but I’m back and will be trying to post a lot more now, including with updated info on Jay and Jack’s Lost Finale Party in LA on May 23.
I have a gazillion pictures and some really great stories from this past weekend in Hawaii but it’s taking me a little time to get them all up/written. So to hold you over in the meantime (and you’ve probably seen this already but whatever, Clif kept us up til 1am working on it and both Jay & I happen to think that this is pretty bad ass), here’s the trailer for all the coverage that was done by Team nuDia from the weekend.
Hey just wanted to say a special thank you to Sgractuary over on iTunes for it’s very astute and classy review on the nuDia.tv iTunes page.
Oh and PS, thank you also your lovely gem about me on the iTunes page for the Jay & Jack Show. It also meant a lot.
Haha, I wonder if people purposely write those particularly kindly worded reviews because they know that the people they’re writing about are going to see them, even if they are addressing other parties. Are they trying to make that person feel like crap? Is it one of those things where they are trying to “knock that person down a peg”? Or are they really so self-important that they take the iTunes review system so seriously that they feel it’s their civic duty to make sure everyone knows just how much they think someone else sucks? Luckily, I have been trashed enough times in the last 2.5 years - including by people who were supposed to be my friends - that I can’t really dwell on it anymore. Sure, it may bother me when I read it, but not like it used to. I used to be really hurt by that stuff. Not really when it came to MetroBuzz because we got some really helpful constructive criticism that I personally felt was beneficial to us for a period of time. But honestly, until probably July of this year, I was hurt by such reviews. Now, I have too much else on my plate - See: a 45-hour-a-week paying job, running YuBlog.org, working on nuDia.tv (both sites take many non-at-work hours a week), managing a healthy relationship that apparently keeps me on nuDia.tv, traveling to have the proper family time, working out in order to take care of myself again, balancing a normal life, etc al.
Oh and dude, you are free to submit a show to nuDia.tv for either the “Winter Break” season that’s going to be for 6 weeks after New Years or the Spring season, starting in March. Hopefully Jay will be in love with you enough to put you on the site too!
Jay keeps making fun of me (sad smiley face) but I AM SO EXCITED!!!
nuDia.tv is#19 in the Video section for Comedy on iTunes! We FINALLY got approved by the iTunes Store today, just in time for our Fall Launch.
Aaaannndd as of right now, #41 over both Audio and Video categories in Comedy! Hooray!!!
I’m so excited and I don’t even have a show premiering on there until Friday, which is sure to be just as awkward and painful as you all remember :D To subscribe to nuDia.tv on iTunes, you can search “Nudia,” “Nudia.tv” or “Jay and Jack” on iTunes OR you can just go here: http://bit.ly/3kMpyE.
Jay and I are seeing David Cross tomorrow night. OH! And I have the video all converted, I just need to upload it - song videos from the Rob Thomas concert in Cary, NC last Monday night, September 28, 2009. I’ve kinda slacked because I also have all the video from the No Doubt concert back on June 8, 2009 on my computer that I compressed to a smaller file but never uploaded because I suck.
The good news is that I actually did edit and upload a brand new show from me on nuDia.tv, which is a NuNews interview series. The first one, which will premiere either Friday Oct 9 or Sunday Oct 11 (we haven’t decided yet), will be an interview with the awesome dudes who do the “John Locke Rap” on YouTube. Stay tuned
Okay time for bed. I have to be at work wicked early tomorrow. And I need some new YuBlog.org submissions, so if you have anything, please email YuBlog.org@gmail.com otherwise it’ll be my take on David Letterman being a cheating pig (please someone else do that one lol) or my absolute JOY on the Sweet Valley High series becoming a major motion picture written by Diablo Cody. So yeah. You’re funeral.
P.S. Alice, you rock my socks yet again. Thank you
Yeah, it’s 11:11pm on 9/9/09 so what better to do than a quick blog post?
Today was sad at work. One of my bosses, Heather, resigned. She’s probably one of the most awesome people ever, so it was a somber day at work. But when I got home, Jay had made me French Dip and bought me a present to cheer me up! Here’s my present:
It’s the new Vera Bradley color (Carnaby) and bag (the Stephanie). I’ve been looking at it for a good month so yay! I have the best man ever.
While I watched “Glee” (awesome.), Jay went over to record the new Flash Forward ‘Cast with Jack. It was so adorable before he left because Zoe sat on his leg and hugged it, like she didn’t want him to leave haha. Yeah, I know. I’m a dork x 1,000.
Sara & TJ’s wedding was kick ass. I’ve put up a gazillion pictures on Facebook and still have one more album left, but I’ll have to pick a few of my favorite ones and put them up on here this weekend for all you people with lives who don’t want to shift through 200 pictures of someone else’s wedding just to see two people that you know. So stay tuned.
Finally, we’ve got a whoooole bunch of things planned for Nudia.tv that I/we won’t announce until after our meeting on Saturday BUT I have a crapload of buttons leftover from Comic Con and I’d love to send them out to whoever wants one. Sooo send me a direct message on Twitter (www.twitter.com/Colleen84) or on Facebook or an email to YuBlog.org@gmail.com or heck, if you’re not shy about broadcasting where you live in the comments on here, then go for it. I’m compiling a list through this weekend and buying a large book of stamps and envelopes to ship ‘em out. Woot.
Thanks to Nick for the heads up about these signings, because it was freaking the highlight of my day so far. Behold:
Then we dared Chris in Boston to get a picture with him punching him in the face Casey/Jayne style, haha:
Oh yeah AND I SHOOK ADAMA’S HAND!!!!
If you haven’t seen it yet, I took video & had it up before the panel was even over of Elizabeth Mitchell answering a question about the fate of Juliet on Lost after the Season 5 finale:
So this weekend was Jay’s Birthday Weekend. He turned 24 on Friday, March 27. Side note: Sunday the 29th was my sister Christie’s 20th birthday. I don’t think she reads this but if she is, Happy Birthday!!!
Anyways, I after scouting out many local restaurants for us to try, I decided to just do the biggest deal of them all: attempt to cook dinner myself. I’m a really impatient person when it comes to cooking, so I’ve never really tried to cook before other than my Valentines’ Day 2008 trip to NC to surprise Jay and cook pasta. That doesn’t really count though because my mom helped me prepare most of it before I left & all I had to do was the pasta part, which even I can do. So I decided to start small and I made us bacon cheeseburgers:
Yeah, it may not look super fancy, but whatever; it tasted good if I do say so myself. I even went all out and baked a funfetti cake, too. Holler.
Hell yeah the candles spell out “24″. Cause I’m that creative. Jay’s sister Heather came to hang out for a little while when we did birthday cake, which was fun. Since it was pouring outside on Friday, we decided to go see the movie, “I Love You Man”. My verdict? I really liked it and I laughed at least every few minutes. Maybe it wasn’t the best movie from that whole “Apatow Gang” but in all fairness, it’s going to be really hard to beat “40-Year-Old Virgin” and “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” (my personal favorites).
On Saturday, we went out to dinner with Jay’s family at an awesome Italian restaurant in Raleigh. Afterwards, we went up to the mall because Jay wanted to buy new sunglasses with some of his birthday money. I got carded upon entering the mall by myself (I went in to use the bathroom while Jay parked). Turns out, if you’re under 18, you’re not allowed to be in the mall unaccompanied by an adult past 5pm. No one asked Jay to see his ID. Ha, and I’m the older one in the relationship. After the new Oakleys were acquired, we hit Sam’s Club to buy “real Mexican” Coca Cola. The night was finished out by an exciting viewing of “Mary Poppins,” which was choosen by the birthday boy.
Sunday we hit up the flea market because it was finally not raining. In fact, it was gorgeous outside. Two hotdogs each later, we went back home to do work - Jay on the “Lost Podcast” and me on my nuDia.tv show that I was going to re-film (the first time wasn’t very good, to be honest) while Jay & Jack recorded the podcast for Monday. After a delicious dinner cooked by Jay’s mom, I headed over to Clif’s studio to film. Jay & I took one car over to his parents’ house, so I waited around while Jay & Jack filmed their “Lost Vidcast” for this week (”Missing Jack”) and while Jack filmed his “Jack’s Rants” segment:
Aww, look at Clif hard at work! Okay, it’s a day of the week that ends with “y” the job search continues in 5…4…3…2…1…
