Since I've been stuck at work for thirteen hours and still have three more to go, I am publishing my second blog post in less than an hour....

Things I'm Obsessed With this Week

1) Emerald Nuts- Glazed Walnuts

To lament the demise of my, already moderately-sized, breasts due to my recent weight loss, I decided to spend the majority of my Monday night sprawled out on my couch watching Prison Break and eating Butter Toffee Glazed Walnuts. It's hard to explain just how delicious they are. I can only say that I tore through that bag like a voracious crack whore.

2) David Tennant

I've never proven myself to be anything other than a giant nerd. So I feel no sense of shame in admitting that I made my friend, Paul, burn all of Doctor Who season 3 for me. Having watched several episodes multiple times, I have now begun looking up David Tennant videos on YouTube. What can I say, I like my men tall, skinny and prancing around in tight suits.

Sorry Paul, for outing you on your own nerd-ery.

3) Control- directed by Anton Corbijn

Four years ago I visited my friend Melissa in London and she took me to a club where we danced and laughed and danced some more, until my scarf was dripping with sweat and the humidity had frizzed my hair out to Don King-like proportions. And as I sat trading witty retorts with a brilliantly sarcastic british boy, I thought the night couldn't get any better. It was then that the opening bars to Joy Division's Love Will Tear Us Apart filled the club and my joy, much like my hair, could not be contained. And while I'm sure nothing resembling the joy in that moment will be represented in in this movie, it in no way diminishes my desire to see it.

Dear Internet: I wish to distance myself from Angela's portrayal of me in this blog entry as a Doctor Who-burning nerd of Potsie-like proportions. I am seen by the community as a charming rogue in the tradition of Cary Grant.

I'm also interested in seeing Control, which looks like the best music biopic this year except for my unproduced screenplay Umbrella: The Real Rihanna Story Part One.
