the power of myspace

I just had a phone conversation about not-so-superpowers that people had - like the ability to guess where people came from, or guessing their favourite colours and stuff, and came to the tragic conclusion I had none. I wasn't looking for the ability to bend time and space, but you know, anything would be cool.

I do have the ability to find a way to make time pass quickly whilst doing nothing inherently productive... I know it's usually just called "procrastination", but I can waste hours on end finding out info on absolutely nothing. Then, it's like a stream of consciousness thing where finding the answer to one thing leads to more googling, and next thing you know, hours have passed, and I'm still none the wiser. And probably limit my future capacity to be wiser since my head is now jammed with more useless facts.

Let's take yesterday:

  • Reading the Grey's Anatomy's Writer's Blog, since I like finding out useless trivia about TV shows.
  • Checked other blogs for other news about Grey's Anatomy - Give me my Remote has a bloopers reel from Season 2 - I don't know what it is about bloopers, since they're pretty much a video of people screwing up lines and laughing, which doesn't really sound funny, but I still have to watch them. Speaking of which, you should youtube "Lost Bloopers Season 2" just to find a video of the actor playing Michael saying "oh no you di'int!" Hilarious!

  • Grey's Anatomy Blooper reel video already taken down for copyright reasons, so try youtubing it, and still no success. There is a MadTV parody though, with the crossdressing Asian guy doing a pretty good Christina impression...
  • Looking at other Grey's Anatomy youtube stuff, and the only other thing I can find other than The Fray music videos is a video of TR Knight on Ellen, talking about "the incident" with homophobic guy.
  • Reminded about seeing the DJ on Ellen, and thinking he looked familiar. Found out DJ Jonny= Jon Abrahams, previously seen on Boston Public, Scary Movie & Meet the Parents.
  • Wondered if he was always a DJ, or an actor who decided to be DJ - according to his myspace page, he's been DJing a while. Should I add him as a friend? or is that a little too weird?
  • Who else who is obscure-famous on myspace? Hi-3 of Hi-5 (Nathan, Kathleen & Tim). Googled Hi-5, found out there was a Kathleen replacement who was also a minority (and also has a myspace page) and Nathan and Kellie were engaged, and then broke up. Would this ruin Hi-5? Well, according to Nathan's myspace page (with Kellie noticeably absent from his top friends...) Everyone's back at work, so looks like 5-year olds and horny older guys can breathe a sigh of relief..
