killing time

So… I’m trying to kill some time before I watch Matrix: Reloaded so I shall do the Friday Five

What drinking water do you prefer — tap, bottle, purifier, etc.?
Bottled water — I particularly like Crystal Geyser and Dasani water for some reason.

What are your favorite flavor of chips?
Yuuumm… I like Cheddar & Sour Cream, Cool Ranch Doritos and Kettle-cooked Jalapeno.

Of all the things you can cook, what dish do you like the most?
I can’t cook! lol. The boyfriend does all the cooking. There is one thing I can make — it’s this baked macaroni casserole dish that my aunt makes. She gave me the recipe when I went off to college and missed it.

How do you have your eggs?
I like them over-easy. But scrambled is good too.

Who was the last person who cooked you a meal? How did it turn out?
Rob. The boyfriend. He made this spicy pork dish. It was yuuuuummmy. 🙂

X-Men!

Hmmm, this week’s Friday Five is much too difficult for my fickle little self… so I’ve decided to do an old one. 😛

If you were to go to a movie this weekend, which one would you pick?
X2: X-Men United. I’m not a comic book fan or anything — it just looks like a fun popcorn movie. I’m actually going to see it in about an hour and a half — the midnight showing!

What movie would you like to rent this weekend?
There are a *ton* of movies I want to see… About A Boy, The Good Girl, Real Women Have Curves, Far From Heaven — just a few.

What one TV show do you always try to watch?
Hee, like you all don’t know the answer to this! Dawson’s Creek, of course. 2 more weeks! ::sniff::

If you (and your S.O.) were cool with it, what five celebrities would it be ‘ok’ for you to have a fling with?
Josh Jackson, Ewan McGregor, Tom Welling, Shane West, and Mike Erwin. Mmmm…

How do you plan to spend your weekend?
No plans. I just want to relax — it’s been a stressful work week.

And I’m off! Gotta get to the theatre to make sure I don’t get craptastic seats. 😛

my bloggity blog

Ummm, so I hope everyone is having a spectacular Valentine’s Day. 🙂 I’m just killing some time — Rob is watching the Laker game and then we’re going to go see Daredevil! Very excited — I love Ben and Jen(nifer Garner, not J.Lo). Will do the Friday Five:

Explain why you started to journal/blog. No particular reason — I just wanted to have a place to write down all my random thoughts.

Do people you interact with day to day or family members know about your journal/blog? Why or why not? Less than 10 people in my “real” life know about my site… my boyfriend, my best friends, my cousin and a few others. And I’d like to keep it that way — I haven’t really had to “rant” about anything but if there ever comes a time, I like to think that my blog is the place where I can be completely honest about anything.

Do you have a theme for your journal/blog? Nope — I write about anything and everything that comes to my head. I do tend to write about television quite a bit though. What can I say? I’m a TV whore. 😛

What direction would you like to have your journal/blog go in over the next year? Eh… my blog has no focus.

Pimp five of your favorite journals/blogs. I can’t choose! All my dailies are my favorites. 🙂

breakfast foods

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGIE!

Doing the Friday Five because I have absolutely nothing to blog about —

What did you have for breakfast this morning? If you didn’t have breakfast, why not? I had McDonald’s for breakfast! I’m such a sucker for their breakfast menu. I had a sausage mcmuffin, hash browns, and coffee with lots of cream and sugar. 🙂 Yuuummm… I love breakfast. I can eat breakfast foods at all times of the day and I would be happy. Mmmm.

What’s your favorite cereal? Well, my favorite sugary-y cereals are Corn Pops and Apple Jacks but if I also really love Special K with red berries even though it’s one of the more “healthy” cereals.

How often do you eat out? Do you want that to change? Rob and I eat out for dinner about 1-2 times a week. And I buy lunch a few times during the week while I’m at work. I’m trying my hardest to bring my lunch because all the food expenses really add up. But I get so lazy and forget to prepare it. Eh.

What do you plan on having for dinner tonight? Got a recipe for that? I don’t even want to think about it.

What’s your favorite restaurant? Why? Probably Macaroni Grill… I loooove pasta dishes, specifically the Pasta Milano that they serve. It’s heavenly. 😛

sooo bored

It was definitely a horrible way to start my day by turning on the TV and seeing all the images and the press coverage of the Columbia tragedy. I want to extend my sympathy to the families of those who died. They will all be in my thoughts and prayers.

*sigh* So… even though it’s Saturday, I’m gonna do the Friday Five

As a child, who was your favorite superhero/heroine? Why? I really loved She-Ra, Princess of Power! She rocked. And she had a cool castle too.

What was one thing you always wanted as a child but never got? Hmm… I have to admit that I was pretty spoiled as a child… you know, that whole only child thing. But I did want one of those Easy Bake ovens, hee.

What’s the furthest from home you’ve been? The furthest I’ve been from home is probably going to the Philippines or to Hong Kong. I’m not exactly sure which one is farther. The plane ride is about 14-15 hours long. It’s pretty horrifying because I can’t stand airplane bathrooms. *shudders*

What’s one thing you’ve always wanted to learn but haven’t yet? Uhhh… learn to cook? lol. As my boyfriend can attest to, my cooking skills are pretty much non-existent.

What are your plans for the weekend? Not much — just relaxing before my first day of work on Monday!

OMG! Sometimes I can’t believe my extreme lack of self-control! I went over to Alias Media and looked at the screen caps and watched the clips for tomorrow’s episode. *shakes head*

entirely too much TV

This week’s Friday Five is about TV — yay!

How many TVs do you have in your home? We have 3 TV’s in our apartment. One for me, one for Rob and one for my cousin Warren. We each have our own — god forbid we share. 😉 After all, I don’t think we’d ever agree on what to watch.
On average, how much TV do you watch in a week? Geesh, I guess like 11-12 hours per week regularly. That sounds like an awful lot. And sometimes I even have the TV on as background noise while I’m on the computer.
Do you feel that television is bad for young children? I guess it depends on what they’re watching — but I don’t really have strong feelings on this topic either way.
What TV shows do you absolutely HAVE to watch, and if you miss them, you’re heartbroken? Well, Dawson’s Creek for sure — no matter how bad it’s become. I’d also be pretty distraught over missing BtVS, Smallville, Friends and Alias.
If you had the power to create your own television network, what would your line-up look like? I would definitely have my WB/UPN shows — DC, SMVL, BtVS, Gilmore Girls, Everwood, my drama shows — The Practice, Alias, Law and Order, my comedies — Scrubs, Friends, my revived shows — Roswell, My So-Called Life, Felicity, my guilty pleasures — The Real World, all the ABC soaps, most MTV shows and sprinkled in between, my favorite Food Network shows. hee. That would be so awesome. 🙂

foooood is my weakness

Am doing another list thing because it makes me blog without actually talking about anything, you know? hee.

Seven on Sunday

Seven Favorite Foods
1. spaghetti
2. pistachio almond ice cream
3. chocolate covered strawberries
4. nachos
5. barbecue ribs
6. fried chicken
7. strawberry banana pie

Gawd, it’s 1am and thinking of that list just made me hungry! Damn.

keeping in touch

Friday Five

Would you say that you’re good at keeping in touch with people? Nope — to be honest, I’m really awful at keeping in touch.
Which communication method do you usually prefer/use: e-mail, telephone, snail mail, blog comments, or meeting in person? Why? I like either talking on the telephone or meeting in person — just a bit more personal. I’m completely horrible at email. It takes me ages to respond. 😛
Do you have an instant messenger program? How many? Why/why not? How often do you use it? I have AOL/AIM but I rarely ever use it. I stopped using it a few years back when I was still in school because I had a tendency to chat for long periods of time and not get any schoolwork done.
Do most of your close friends live nearby or far away? Far away — my cousin and my best friends live in Southern CA.
Are you an “out of sight, out of mind” person, or do you believe that “distance makes the heart grow fonder”? I think a bit of both — I think that living away from my family has made me appreciate them more. But because they are so far away, I forget to check in with them sometimes — I need to better at doing that.

And because I really like the subject of this Seven on Sunday

Seven famous people I would sleep with… no strings attached, no questions asked, just one night…
1. Joshua Jackson
2. Tom Welling
3. Ewan MacGregor
4. Mark Barry
5. Michael Rosenbaum
6. Matthew Perry
7. Michael Vartan
YUMMMM. 😛

Hmm… I just noticed that my splash page looks f*cked up in AOL — geesh. AOL is always screwing things up!

darrin’s dance grooves

I went shopping today and came home with Darrin’s Dance Grooves. lol. It’s actually pretty fun — I am determined to learn the routine from Jordan Knight’s Give It To You and be able to perform it at the normal speed. Rob was doing the video with me too — hee! It’s so cute seeing him learn the dance moves. 😛

Seven on Sunday:

Seven Stores that Could Put You Into Bankruptcy:
1. Abercrombie and Fitch
2. Banana Republic
3. Crate and Barrel
4. Borders, Barnes & Noble

I know there are more — I’m a shopping whore. 🙂
