That day I could never get the hang of

[yendi]

Gah. T-minus two days until my life becomes like a Loverboy song.*

TV: Watched Tivo-stored episodes of Stella and Surreal Life with shadesong (the former featuring Janeane Garofalo) before she headed to bed. I then finally caught the series finale of Six Feet Under. And yeah, mediocre as some recent episodes have been, this was a hell of a good ending. Wow.

I then also caught three reruns of Degrassi: TNG. I blame that bastard Kevin Smith. I'd never have started this addiction otherwise.

Also caught part of the Mets ritual slaughter of the D'backs. Quite nice. David Wright's got an OPS of over 1.400 in the last week, which borders on obscene.

And for the first time in a week, I hit the snooze bar on the alarm clock instead of just waking right up. Gee, wonder why?

On the plus side, today's too insane for me to be tired.

*That would be "Working for the Weekend," not "Gangs in the Street" or "Hot Girls in Love." And definitely not "Lovin' Every Minute of It."

Jay and Silent Bob guest-starred on Degrassi?

[yendi]

Yup. Smith's been a fan for years, and he guest-directed and starred in (in a major way) the final three episodes of season four (the last of which airs this Friday). Jay (and Alanis) appeared in the second part -- not sure if they'll be in part three.

Was Alanis playing God?

[yendi]

Close. She played a high school principle in the movie-within-the-show (and herself on the show itself).

Smith did actually NO directing... he wasn't allowed. He could ONLY act.

His first offer was to write and that was denied cause it's an ALL-Canadian show. Then he wanted to direct and they said NO to that too...so he finally was able to agree to act. I'm sure he CONSULTED them on stuff (like the whole Caitlin make-out... ;))... but No official directing or writing, it wasn't allowed legally.

Oh yes, International Entertainment Labor Law is funny.

Hunh. I knew that they had restrictions on regular actors being local, but I didn't realize that extended beyond that to the rest of the crew.

I do wonder if Smith ghostwrote or directed any of it. A lot of it had his fingerprints.

Why did I think "Lovin' Every Minute Of It" was Def Leppard? Hmm...

[yendi]

People wrote off Loverboy way too early, and tend to forget anything after HGiL.

'That would be "Working for the Weekend," not "Gangs in the Street" or "Hot Girls in Love." And definitely not "Lovin' Every Minute of It."'

How about 'Turn Me Loose'?

[yendi]

Heh. I considered that one.

Not that I own their greatest hits or anything.

[robyn-ma.livejournal.com]

Of course not. ;)

[yendi]

Oooh! Never had the single -- I owned the album that it was off of, though.

Hot Girls In Love would be a MUCH better way to go :)

Heck, *I* want Hot Girls In Love for *MY* weekend. Hehe.

I've watched three eps of Stella, including the Garafalo one, and I've still never found it funny or smart. Very disappointing.

[yendi]

It's worked for me, but it's odd enough that I'm truly shocked that it even made it on the air.

(You have to go and make me remember those songs again, didn't you?)

[yendi]

Why would anyone ever want to forget them in the first place? :-)

[eclectic-1.livejournal.com]

There's a lot of things from the 80s that I would prefer to forget!

Degrassi Street is just a couple blocks over from my place.

[yendi]

I actually didn't realize that it was a real street.
