Andy Mientus from the Flash: A 20-something Alisdair? I think Andy is the epitome of adorkable: I could also see him as Mouse. I discovered him as a dying cancer patient on ABC Family's Chasing Life, and I think he's just friggin' adorable!

If Private Tim took over writing.... 1. Tony would die a painful death. 2. Will would be shipped off to military school where he would bang some cute military guys. (I'm actually surprised we haven't seen Will hook up with some military hottie.) 3. Then Will and Zach would break up, leaving Will to wind up with a returned Alisdair, who's now grown to 5'10" and is quite hot. Zach would be allowed to find another closeted football player to fall in love with. 4. JJ would be written out of the series with him deciding to move to Tokyo, after realizing that he has a huge fanbase in Japan. Alex and MaryEllen would be shipped off to England. 5. Ryan and Hot Jeff would return as main characters, and there'd be a refocus on Los Angeles as a setting, with occasional glances to Boston for Matt, Wade, and Tiffany's growing brood of kids. Not sure what else would happen in a CAP universe decided by PrivateTim.

And The Streak did basically nothing with the Boston setting save for the hockey team and some history tours. LOL. Although in all honesty, Blue made a very good point that JJ is not a guy who will mix the masses, and it makes sense that only level of social integration we've really seen here has been on Matt's end, who isn't narrating this story. Still, I thought it'd be funny for JJ to fall in love with some blue-collar Southie guy or girl from the wrong side of the tracks. It would be so out of character for him, but still- who doesn't love romantic comedies about haughty rich people falling in love with blue-collar people with a heart of gold? I do wonder if Matt would be getting into the Red Sox. He strikes me as a guy I can see being into baseball. I had a coach who was from Mass that was a BIG Red Sox fan. He gave me shit once about wearing a Yankees hat I had found. I'm also kinda surprised Mark didn't do anything with anti-Iraq War protests that were apparently going on around Cambridge in late 2002, given where the story went.

Over on Reddit, people are currently drooling over this photo of 1976 Lynda Carter on OldSchoolCool. I'm saying this as a red-blooded homosexual male...DAMN, she was hot. No wonder it's been nearly impossible to find someone that can live up to the bar she set as Wonder Woman. 1970's men in general were pretty fucking hideous, but the women looked great. I think there was a lot more natural beauty back then.

Does this mean it'll be 2060 before I know it?

I just got invited to my 10-year high school reunion. Oh my god, I can't believe it went by that fast. 19 just feels a couple of years ago. Does this mean I'll be 39 before I know it? Anyway, here are four tunes I associate with my senior prom. (We're actually having our reunion at the same place, apparently. That'll be a trip.) "Time of My Life" from Dirty Dancing Prom theme. 80's nostalgia was riding high in 2005. They played this on the fake red carpet they set up in front of my school for the after-prom, where parents and siblings played fake paparazzi. It was so much fun. "Forever Young" from Napoleon Dynamite Everyone was obsessed with Napoleon Dynamite senior year. Also, the faculty bitched about the fact that the prom for 2004 was basically wall-to-wall contemporary hip-hop. so they forced the playlist to include older stuff that they'd like. I remember slow dancing to this to my good friend Kayla...she was a pretty cool chick. "Hollaback Girl" by Gwen Stefani This was the big hit tune that year...it's got a great beat and you can dance to it. "True" by Ryan Cabrera Finally...this was our designated "cheesy slow dance" love song. He was the boyfriend of Ashlee Simpson, who had gotten her own reality show that was running this year. It's amazing how fast it goes by. Man. 2005 really was ten years ago. It doesn't seem possible. The cool thing about my school was that you pretty knew every single person that was in your class, and you had at least one class with them. We started out with 94 class members freshmen year, and graduated with 82. It was nearly impossible NOT to know somebody. There are some people I really hope to see again.

Robin Wright Penn as Claire Underwood from House of Cards as Elizabeth Danfield?

Fifty Shades of Grey Earns 93 Million Dollars Over President's Day Weekend I get the feeling that Jamie Dornan REALLY doesn't want to be part of this, but he's pretty much locked into two sequels now. Dude, enjoy being the fanfic Edward Cullen for the next two years. LOL. Speaking of, it's a shame they can't let Jamie keep a beard in the movie. He looks damn hot with one: Without the beard, he just looks so generic. Oh, well.

This was hellaciously long, but there were some funny bits. Anyway, this is for you Cali people. God, Bradley Cooper is hot. I've always wondered what Mark, Tim's, and Blue's Californian accents sound like. I always kinda pictured Blue having this vaguely Latina accent, Tim having this slurred surfer boy accent accent, and Mark having this weird mish-mash of California and the mid-West. I've found Californian dialect pretty fascinating ever since I saw this E! Special on them back in the late 1990's. That was reinforced a couple of years later, when I fell in love with the movie Valley Girl. A bit of trivia- E.G. Dailey, who played Loryn, did not want to do an actual Valley Girl accent. So she did a Malibu accent instead. I've had people actually tell me that my voice sounds like a Californian stoner dude instead of a guy from Delaware, so yeah. I do think I'm fascinated by accents/dialects because someone who grew up in Northern Delaware, there really isn't much of an identifiable accent aside from the words "on", "phone", "home", and "water."

In honor of SNL's 40th anniversary, I thought I'd post my favorite 10 sketches. 10.) To Love, Honor, and Stalk: The Gillian Woodward Story Senator John McCain kills it as the "personal space infringer" in this 2002 skit of Lifetime movie parodies. It is such a dead-on parody of Lifetime movies. I've watched plenty of those. 9.) Schmitt's Gay Two guys get the best (gay) surprise of their life when they house-sit. This one made me tingle in ways I didn't quite understand as a young boy. LOL. 8.) "Gap Girls" "Lay off me, I'm starving!" Farley. God, I wish he was still around. 7.) "Natalie Portman Raps" 6.) "Peyton Manning United Way" "Spend time with your kids so Peyton Manning doesn't." 5.) "The Sinatra Group" Phil Hartman was great. And Jan Hooks did such a great Sinead. R.I.P. 4.) "Debbie Downer" I had a professor who looked like Debbie Downer, but she was actually quite funny and cool. 3.) "George W. Bush Cold Opening" George W. Bush will always be remembered as a beloved Will Ferrell character. 2.) "Linda Tripp/Monica Lewisky Opening" "That you're a dirty, dirty girl and you had dirty, dirty sex with that dirty, dirty President!" And my favorite is... 1.) Palin/Hilary 2008 This sketch was everything that's good about SNL encapsulated. Social and political satire at it's finest. That's the last time I've seen SNL fire on all cylinders like they did during the '08 election. So what are your favorite sketches?

Philly hosted the Republican Convention back in 2000, and people did fan out from the immediate area, so it's expected to have an economic impact that extends out to northern Delaware.

Yeah. It's really lousy. I was expecting a big trainwreck, but it wasn't really one. Dakota made Ana actually seem like a real 21st century college student, instead of this chick who's somehow never used email,talks like a 12-year old girl, has never had a drink in her life before the bar scene, etc etc.

So in honor of Valentine's Day...here's my mix of sappy love tunes... Love Tunes 2015 Mix List 1.) "Everything I Do" (I Do It For You) by Bryan Adams 2.) (Yeah, I didn't go for the obvious one here.) 4.) 5.) 6.) 7.) 8.) 9.) 10.) 11.) 12.) 13.) 14.) 15.) The bulk of these tunes are from the 80's. They were definitely great at sappy love tunes that decade.

I wound up seeing the movie in a cut-rate discount theater that was nearly empty, so it wasn't the crazy, catcalling experience I was expecting. Oh, well. I thought the movie was alright. What impressed me was that Dakota Johnson was somehow able to make Ana seem real.

Here's an oldie, but a goodie:

I'm going to admit that I totally wanted the grown-up version of the blond middle child. Cute, fratty funny guys never fail to turn me on.

And in a way that can work as a blue-collar, rough trade type. Which is funny considering he's a spoiled Hollywood kid. I'm not sure Hammer is blond, but considering this is CAP and Mark really, really likes blonds, it's not a bad bet. Seriously there are so many blond guys in this series. If Hammer's not blond, my alternative pick is David Walton from About A Boy: Seriously, the guy seems nice, but he has a massive case of Dumb Douchebag face. And he's actually from Boston.

I got through watching 22 Jump Street...Wyatt (son of Goldie and Kurt) Russell as Hammer? He's blond, and a former hockey player, which are two of Mark's favorite jack-off items. Then again, he's rocking the lumber-sexual look a little bit and that seems like a big turn-off for Mark. Wyatt really is a perfect combination of his parents. He perked my interest in his cameo on This is 40, and he was pretty funny in 22 Jump Street. Anyway, I kept picturing Hammer as blond, but I could be wrong.

Philadelphia in general has a much better transit and road system than Boston, though. I think it's said that's why they picked it. The logistics are going to be easier.

They just announced that Philadelphia is going to host the DNC in 2016. Pretty cool. If I'm still in the region then, I want to be there. Philly's really gaining ground as a world-class city. I'm so glad.

When a guy looks like Colin O'Donogue, I don't really give a fuck if his facial hair can be classified as a beard or stubble. Lol. God, Irish men with dark hair and bright blue eyes...never fail to be hot.

It makes so much sense though, because Alex puts JJ on a pedestal and treats him like the special one. He can deal with Alex having other people so long as he knows he's the special one.

I should've said "promiscuous." I can't see JJ racking up huge numbers like Stefan or I'm betting his biological dad did because of how picky he is.

I actually think you're wrong. He's too picky to actually end up a total slut. Mark has made it pretty clear throughout this book that JJ has insanely high and snobby standards when it comes to people he would try to have sex with. JJ may be starting to like sex, but I don't see him lowering his standards anytime soon just to have it with anything pretty that walks his way.

I think it's funny that a guy from a hugely slutty family basically has to play the Blushing Virgin for a variety of reasons. The interesting thing though is that I think JJ gets into the persona because it's not far from who he is. He might have a raging libido and all that, but he's not that comfortable with sex and being a sexual person. Remember when JJ couldn't handle Zach flirting with him? That's why I agree with Blue about how Alex is the perfect starter relationship, because Alex is willing to treat JJ with kid gloves when it comes to sex.
