Got my new Linkin Park CD today! Wheeeeeeeee! It’s definitely a must-listen — I am currently in love with Somewhere I Belong, Hit the Floor, Faint, and Nobody’s Listening. Awesome stuff.
New DC tomorrow! The last 8 episodes — *sniff*

i am an idiot
Don’t I feel like a freaking idiot. hee.
Thanks to Rachel, Alice, Mazzie, Michelle and newbie for clearing up John Mayer’s age for me, lol. What can I say? I can be an extremely gullible person. My only defense is that he said it! On the Grammys! For the entire world to hear! I just didn’t get his point until now. *feels stupid*
Oh! Saw Everwood earlier — So good. It was such a powerful episode — I was in tears by the end. The “revelation” scene between Ephram and Andy was so heart-wrenching but I’m so glad they were able to make peace with each other. I hate it when there’s tension between them. But Laynie’s leaving?!? No! I had just gotten to love her and she’s leaving — come back! And Amy and the Harts continued to grate on my nerves. They are all seriously living in Denial land with regards to Colin. Gah. Anyway, if you’re not watching this show yet, I highly recommend it. You’ll be doing yourself a favor. I promise.
grammys
I can’t believe the weekend’s already over… back to work tomorrow…
Wow, I never thought I would say this but I really enjoyed the Grammys this year. I usually watch them for the sake of watching and not for any real desire to see who was going to win any awards. But this year there were so many great performers, I actually found myself enjoying it. I adored John Mayer — he’s so good live! And is he really only 16?!? I like to say that I’m a fan of his but I did not know that, lol. Love love loved Norah Jones. I’m so into her right now. I’ve had her CD on repeat for awhile now — her voice is just so mellow and beautiful. I’m so happy she won all the awards she did. She genuinely looked so surprised and happy. And NSync! It was so good to see them singing together again, except what the hell did JC do to his hair! Cut it off. Anyway, they really did a fabulous job with the BeeGees medley. *sigh* I also really enjoyed No Doubt, Simon & Garfunkel (my dad would be proud! lol) and Eminem (the RunDMC ending rocked). The one thing I thought was really weird was that there was no host. It kinda worked and it kinda didn’t at the same time. Oh, and Erykah Badu made herself look like a freaking idiot. Ugh.
Speaking of music — I got my Justin Timberlake concert tickets! Whee! 🙂 And I had no idea he was touring with Christina Aguilera until today. Should be very interesting. Can’t wait til June.
justin concert
Sooo… I might go see Justin Timberlake when he comes to the Oakland Arena, hee. Tickets go on sale Sunday morning so we’ll see if I actually wake up on time to buy them. I can be so lazy on the weekends.
There’s one thing that I absolutely adore about Windows XP — when you set an image as your desktop background and have it centered, it resizes it to fit your entire screen without ruining the quality of the original image. It’s awesome and I love it. It means that I can still use all the 800×600 wallpapers that I’ve made on my 1600×1200 screen. Yay for me.
Doing the Friday Five because I have nothing else to blog about —
What is your most prized material possession? I don’t know really… my computer? 😛
What item, that you currently own, have you had the longest? Stuffed animals that I got when I was a wee young ‘un. I don’t have the heart to throw them out.
Are you a packrat? I go through phases of being a packrat. Sometimes I keep absolutely anything and everything. And then the next week I’ll turn around and go through a phase of throwing it all out. What can I say? I’m weird.
Do you prefer a spic-and-span clean house? Or is some clutter necessary to avoid the appearance of a museum? I’d *like* a spic-and-span clean apartment but sadly, that’s not the case. But it’s not really cluttered either. We have a lot of stuff but everything has its place. I used to be a clean freak but I’ve become a lot more lenient since living with boys, lol.
Do the rooms in your house have a theme? Or is it a mixture of knick-knacks here and there? No themes. Though I wish I had the time and the money to properly decorate. As it stands, my room screams “post-college.” I still have all my college textbooks on my bookshelf and a bunch of random papers on my desk.
telemundo
BWAH! I just saw the funniest thing on TV — *N Sync was on the Spanish channel Telemundo playing foozball. Then at the end, the host was speaking in Spanish really fast and the guys were just kinda standing there trying to look as if they knew what he was saying. ‘Twas funny, it was. Well, maybe just to me. *sigh*
Umm, well, because my life is pretty boring right now… I’ll do the Friday Five.
Where are you right now? Sitting at the dining table, which is the temporary locale for my laptop. I have yet to move my desktop computer off my desk and package it to send to my dad.
What time is it? It’s about 2:30 AM. I’m a night person, what can I say?
What are you wearing? I’m wearing gray sweats and a gray CAL Berkeley sweatshirt. Go bears!
Any people or animals around you? Describe them. My boyfriend Rob is sitting in the living room watching ESPN. No animals.
What are your plans for the weekend? Not much. Went to the grocery store today and bought the best orange juice ever from Trader Joe’s. Yum. Then Rob and I went to Best Buy to buy the Buffy s3 DVDs. And of course, they were out of stock. Grr. Got a raincheck though so I’ll get the sale price when they do come in. As for tomorrow, I’m going to the mall — I just have this urge to buy clothes. 😛
And thanks to everyone who commented on the layout — I really appreciate all the wonderful feedback. *smiles*
dawson’s creek cd’s
LOOK! Click here –> Dawson’s Creek CDs.
I think this is such a fabulous idea — you can customize everything from the songs on the CD to the CD label. Eeee! I have a feeling I’ll have more fun making my own CD than I will listening to it when I get it. And I bet I’ll probably have to make more than one CD to get all the songs I want.
I’ve always loved the music on DC. Sometimes I think they do a better job picking the music than they do writing the show, heh. But really, the songs on the show have so much nostalgic power for me. I love This Year’s Love by David Gray and My Invitation by Sarah Slean partly because of their Pacey and Joey connotations. 🙂
football game
Went shopping today. 🙂 So that automatically made my day a good one.
Sorry about the crazy DC entry below. *blushes* Sometimes I can go overboard.
I finally saw the much-talked about Christina Aguilera “Dirrty” video. Ummm. Well, I was always taught that if you have nothing nice to say then you shouldn’t say anything at all. But I can’t help it — it really is a cringe-worthy video. I enjoy some of her songs — the girl really has a great voice — but her new image is totally unlikable. I mean, she’s barely wearing any clothes! And she does that grinding/butt shaking dance entirely too much. It creeps me out.
Whee! I’m going to a SF 49ers / St. Louis Rams game tomorrow. I’m going with my boyfriend and some friends. Should be fun. And hot. And omg, I think I’m going to come back deaf.
jimmy rocks my world
Jimmy Fallon is my new boyfriend. I just finished watching the MTV Video Music Awards and I loved when Jimmy was introducing Guns n Roses — he was all giddy and jumping up and down. So cute. 😛 Besides that, the VMA’s were kind of blah. I loved Jimmy’s opening sketch, especially the Enrique parody. Hee. I also enjoyed the performances by Shakira (that girl can shake her booty!), Eminem, and Justin (loved his dancing, hated his song). One thing that stands out in my mind is Christina Aguilera’s voice — when did she develop that accent? Weird. And omg, I can’t believe Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen are that old now. They’re like 17(!), I think. I remember when they couldn’t even talk yet! Seeing them makes me feel so old.
I hate layout blocks. I love Pacey and Joey but I need a change — inspiration, where are you?
Speaking of Pacey and Joey, I found this gem in Joey’s summer diary —
“Should I pretend like it doesn’t matter? Should I pretend that the fact that Audrey and Pacey are spending the summer together, sharing the kind of adventures he and I shared aboard the True Love, has no effect on me whatsoever? To the world, yes, that’s what I’ll have to convey. Can’t very well go around harboring some weird resentment of your ex-boyfriend and your roommate just because they happen to have gotten together. What difference does it make to me anyway? It’s not like I want to date Pacey now… we’re way past that. Aren’t we?”
*sigh* Finally some acknowledgement that Pacey and Joey did indeed once date. But it’s too little too late for me.
Anyway, I still have to finish telling everyone about my Hawaii trip. lol. I bet no one’s interested anymore! Oh well, you’ll all have to humor me. 🙂
seasons of love
I’m listening to the soundtrack to one of my most favorite mucials — Rent. I’ve had the CD on for the past few hours. ::sigh:: I just *adore* this song –>
Seasons of Love
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred moments so dear
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure — measure a year?
In daylights — In sunsets
In midnights — In cups of coffee
In inches — In miles
In laughter — In strife
In — Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure a year in the life?
How about love?
How about love?
How about love?
Measure in love
Seasons of love
Seasons of love
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Journeys to plan
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure the life
Of a woman or a man?
In truths that she learned
Or in times that he cried
In bridges he burned
Or the way that she died
It’s time now – to sing out
Tho’ the story never ends
Let’s celebrate
Remember a year in the life of friends
Remember the love
Remember the love
Remember the love
Measure in love
Measure, measure your life in love
Seasons of love
Seasons of love
::contented sigh:: I wish Rent was playing here in San Francisco – I so want to go see it again.
got ’em!
::screams like a crazed teeny bopper:: I got my Britney Spears tickets! June 1st at the Oakland Arena! 😛 WOOHOO! They’re on the right side of the stage but they’re on the floor — whee! Ok, that was just one too many exclamation points. Stopping now. I still have a huge grin on my face though. I’m a slaaave for you…
