rain rain go away

So today was a total disaster — all of us promotions crew members for the radio station where I work were getting ready for the events taking place after the actual Bay to Breakers race (food vendors, interactive games, and the big concert featuring Smashmouth) when all of a sudden, it starts to rain. And it isn’t just sprinkling, it’s pouring. So all our stuff is getting soaking wet — the money tank, the spin wheels, the T-shirt giveaways and all our prizes. The event organizers decide to cancel everything — so out in the cold rain, we have to pack everything up and load it back into the van again, which totally sucks because usually at events like these so many people come to our booths and take stuff that we never have to bring anything back to the station. Grr. What a crappy morning.

But I just got home from watching Attack of the Clones again so I guess I’m a happy camper now. 😀

episode II ROCKS

Grr — I hate my stupid old computer. I wrote this really really long blog entry and of course, just as I as about to post it, my computer freaks out and erases the entire thing. I hate this thing with a passion.

So I got to see Episode II (the midnight showing) and I thought it was great fun! It was much better than Episode I but I liked that one as well. 😛 I loved the lightsaber duel between Yoda/Dooku, Mace Windu’s dialogue (I don’t think so!), the R2D2/C3PO banter, and of course, all the Obi-Wan action — especially the one where he’s having a drink at the Coruscant bar and then — bam! He’s doing some major ass-kicking. Surprisingly, I wasn’t too taken with the Ani/Ami romance, although I thought I would be. I’m normally a total sucker when it comes to romances. I just didn’t get *why* she started to love him — I didn’t really see a development or natural progression to their story but that’s just me. Natalie and Hayden were great though and I did enjoy their picnic scenes.

Rob (my boyfriend) has developed a SW obsession — he bought the action figures for Mace Windu, Jango Fett, and Padme. AND he ordered Yoda, R2D2, Anakin with the duel lightsaber, and another Mace from Amazon. lol. He even bought me the Obi-Wan toy cause he knows how much I love him. ::giggly smile::

Gah. I have to be at work tomorrow at 5:30 am! AM! It’s terribly insane to be up that early on a Sunday morning, I know. I’m going to be working at this huge event in San Francisco called Bay to Breakers. It’s the world’s largest footrace (or so they say) and it starts at the edge of the San Francisco Bay, crosses the city and ends at the breakers of the Pacific Ocean. I think I’m going to be helping out with registration and check-in for the runners and participants. Should be lots of fun, but tiring as well.

dc sucks!

Gah — I’m not even going to say anything about DC cause if you know me by now, then you know I hated it. With a passion. I wish I could say that I am not going to tune in for Season 6. But I’m a glutton for punishment. ::sigh:: And did the closing shot of the episode freak anyone else out? The way the camera captured Joey’s smiling face was creepy.

Anyway, gonna see Star Wars (whee!) in 2 hours!!! The bad thing is that I’m only going to have, like 3 hours of sleep before I have to wake up for work. Ah well.

farewell roswell

Wow… so Roswell’s over. “Graduation” was not the most satisfying season finale but it made me smile, made me cry and it made me remember why I fell in love with the show way back in the good old days of Season 1. I loved the scene between Michael and Maria when he told her that she’s the only one for him, I loved the good-bye scene between Kyle and Valenti, I loved the Max/Michael hug and I adored the fan shout-out with the bumper sticker at the end. ::sigh::

Yay! Star Wars tomorrow at midnight baby! Whee!

DC season 6 – all d/jo, all the time

This pic makes me cry! And yes! I *am* a bitter P/Jer. 😛

There was an earthquake here (Northern Cali) tonight! I hate earthquakes. I was taking a nice nap when all of a sudden, there was all this shaking and clattering (all my CDs falling off the shelf). Scary stuff. I think it was 5.2 on the Richter scale. I’m just glad it wasn’t “the big one.” ::shudders at the thought:: My room is still a mess though — papers and CDs all over the floor. I don’t want to clean! Stupid earthquake.

four long months

Mother’s Day always makes me teary-eyed. I lost my mom to lung cancer 9 years ago and there’s not a day that goes by when I don’t wish that she was still here, by my side. I miss her *so* much. There are so many events in my life that she’ll never get to witness — and I always wonder if I would have made different decisions or become a different person if she had been here while I was in high school. Like, I always felt that my dad was terribly over-protective — if my mom had been around (she was by far, the more lenient parent), would he have been less so? Or would I *still* have chosen to attend UC Berkeley for college partly to get away from the suffocation I felt from both my dad and the rest of my family? I mean, I love love love my Dad but I really didn’t start to appreciate him until I put the entire state between us. My mind is such a mess right now. ::pulls hair::

As for less weighty topics —

omg. That’s all I have to say about the season finale of Alias. I don’t know how I can wait *four long months* to find out about Vaughn! ::sniffle:: There’s so many other unanswered questions too — Dixon? Syd’s mom? Haladki? Emily? Will’s article? What a way to go — more questions than answers. Geesh, JJ Abrams really knows how to rev up for the next season. And YAY! Michael Vartan in leather. ::drool:: More please. 😛

ocean’s eleven

So I bought the Ocean’s Eleven DVD last night — gawd, I *love* that movie. It totally rocks. Good pace, great dialogue and story and lots of drool-worthy guys (Josh Jackson, Shane West, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and Matt Damon – yum!) 😛 I watched it last night around 11pm and then after that, I even watched about half of it with the actor commentary. lol. I’m such a nerd. It was funny though! I swear. Matt Damon, Brad Pitt and Andy Garcia were doing the commenting and they had some really funny moments. Like, in the beginning, either Matt or Brad (can’t remember which one) said “I think maybe 5 people are gonna watch this portion of the DVD.” heh. And they kept making fun of how Brad Pitt’s character Rusty was always eating. It’s true! Watch it again and see.

too tired

Umm… I’ve spent the past like, 3 (!) hours doing absolutely nothing! woo hoo — what a way to waste time. Not that I have anything else to do, but still. ::sigh:: I mean, it’s kinda sad to be out of college — sometimes I feel like I have so much free time and nothing to do. But on the other hand, I think of the papers and reading assignments and I’m *so* happy that I don’t have to deal with the stress anymore. Mwahaha.

Thanks Tiffany and Nicola for the Smallville caps. You guys rock. 😀

wet tom! yum!

I just saw last night’s episode of Smallville (“Crush”) and can I just be a teeny-bopper for a bit — how HOT was Clark/Tom as he was standing in the rain at the end? ::drool:: Yum! I also really loved all the moments between Clark and Lana. The look between them at the end was so full of angsty goodness. ::sigh:: My favorite quote was from Lex to Clark: “For arguments sake, lets call them Lana and Chloe.” Hee!

So tonight was yet another crap-tastic episode of my favorite show Dawson’s Creek. Very disappointing but at least we got to see Jen. The only redeeming scenes were the ones with her in them. I loved loved loved when she was dancing on the chair to “Teenage Wasteland.” She’s completely adorable. As for the rest of the episode, 1) the Pacey/Alex storyline equals waste of time, 2) Dawson was not the last person who went with Joey to visit her dad in jail, it was actually Pacey (convenient lapse of memory. stupid writers) and 3) Dawson/Joey — well, I think I’ve made it pretty clear that I love these two characters individually and only as friends so really, I have absolutely no interest in their upcoming reunion. I’m in total agreement with Linda — Pacey and Joey had the much more compelling relationship but *of course,* their great love story was sacrificed for the soulmates. My poor little True Lover heart. I don’t care if the original plan for the show was all about the road to Dawson and Joey — Kevin Williamson never even thought that the show would continue past the first season. Times change, characters change — I really think the writers are limiting the creative potential of the show by writing stories that cater to the soulmate storyline but whatever. I’ve thought entirely too much about this.

Must think happy thoughts. 😛

[edit: I’m looking for screencaps for Smallville (“Crush”) and high quality promo pics for Spider-Man. Help anyone? ]
