hp4 first look

I caught HBO’s First Look on Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire tonight.
SQUEE.

It was only about 10 minutes long but there were quite a few new and/or extended scenes… Mad-Eye Moody teaching a Dark Arts class, Dumbledore looking into the pensieve, the chaos at the Quidditch World Cup, Harry in the tub with Myrtle and the Golden Egg, Harry asking Cho to the Yule Ball… OMG, there was more and IT’S JUST SO EXCITING. You can download the clip from HPANA.

Awww.

I should go buy my movie tickets this week. I love watching HP on opening day. 😀

fannish 5

Totally random but I just saw part of tonight’s Punk’d and Brittany Snow (American Dreams) was involved in Sophia Bush’s (One Tree Hill) punk… does anyone know how they know each other? I ‘m just curious since I love them both. DORK, I know.

I’m tired from the Vegas weekend (waaaaayyy too much food consumption) so… a Fannish 5 meme in lieu of a real blog.

Name five (TV) characters you would like to punch in the face.
In no particular order…
1. Kennedy, BtVS. She got on my NERVES. UGH. I *hated* her with Willow.
2. Felix, One Tree Hill. Horrible character. Horrible actor. (And I actually think Michael Copon is cute!)
3. Madison, Everwood. I’m still bitter that her “storyline” pretty much ruined seasons 2 and 3 for me.
4. Eddie, Dawson’s Creek. “Why won’t you get with me?” <-- That says it all right there. 5. Oliver, The OC. The only low point of s1 for me.

BWAHAHA. That was fun. 😀

halloween bub

AWWW. I know Halloween is over but I just HAD to show you all this picture of my teddy bear dressed up as Spider-Man. His name is Bub and he is quite possibly the most spoiled stuffed toy EVER. Seriously. He has an entire box of little bear clothes.

😛

Anyway, I’m off to Las Vegas — hope everyone has a great weekend!

american dreams finale

I’m listening to Christmas music right now. LOL. I’m so ready for the holiday season… it’s definitely my most favorite time of the year. I’ve even started my Christmas shopping. HEE!

I downloaded all 13 Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire clips from The Leaky Cauldron and NONE of them had sound for me. Grrr. I guess I’m not meant to spoil myself for the movie, hee. (And Sarah, you’re totally right — the movie comes out on Nov 18. I’m just too excited! I can’t wait any longer, lol).

I think I have a new favorite celebrity couple — Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling. I had absolutely NO CLUE that they were dating until I saw the cute pictures of them grocery shopping. Aww. It’s like Noah and Allie come to life!

An entry wouldn’t be complete without some TV stuff (possible spoilers ahead)…

Am I totally out of the loop? Has Kitchen Confidential been cancelled?

Prison Break is getting another 2 hour Monday event tomorrow so it has me wondering…

Everwood 4.05, Connect Four
This episode made me so happy. I am totally back on the Amy/Ephram train. Not that I ever really stopped loving them… it’s just that after the end of last season, I haven’t actually liked Ephram, which makes it pretty hard to ‘ship them. But as soon as he revealed to Andy that he came back because he’s still in love with Amy, I just melted. That said, I also like Reid/Amy. I was smiling so big during their first kiss. It was so sweet. I’m still not sold on Bright/Hannah but I am beginning to like them. Is that weird? Like, I still feel like they have nothing in common but I can appreciate their scenes now, particularly the one at the end of the episode when Hannah looked so happy to see Bright and he gazed down at her with such a sweet look (aww). Or maybe I’m starting to like them because I foresee a painful break-up? I do love angst, you know. Anyway, my favorite scene of the episode was when Bright was talking to Ephram about breaking up with Hannah. Those two have come so far since last season. I’m so proud. Plus, I just love the way Tom Amandes directed that scene…. with the camera looking up at B/E and the gorgeous mountain backdrop. Soooo pretty.

Grey’s Anatomy
I thought I was all about Derek/Meredith but I’ve learned… it’s ALL about Burke/Cristina. At the end of episode 2.04, when Burke got into bed with Cristina and held her, I think I might have swooned. That was one of the sweetest and most romantic scenes ever. I’m serious. I want those two crazy kids to work out.

One Tree Hill
Haley better not have kissed Chris at the Halloween party. How could he have known Nathan was going as Batman anyway? UGH. So I downloaded Peyton’s podcasts from iTunes out of curiosity and they’re okay. Nothing exciting, especially since Hilarie Burton has kind of a monotone voice. It’s actually an interesting way of tying the show to real life. In the first one, she talks through her feelings about her current storyline with Ellie and in the second one, she talks about music as a part of her life. If you’re not a Peyton fan, I’d skip it.

And for American Dreams fans, there was a good update on the extended finale on Ask Ausiello this week (Thanks to Robyn for the head’s up!)…

new iPod!!!

I GOT MY NEW IPOD.

!!!!!

OMG, I’m in LOVE. It’s so pretty. And shiny. And the screen is wider. And in COLOR. And it plays videos. And I finally have a click wheel (my previous iPod was old school and had the 4 buttons at the top).

It’s pretty sad how happy I am because of a new toy. I tried to take pictures of it to show it off (hehe) but let’s just say I’m a completely lousy photographer.

*hugs iPod*

Anyway, take a look at Rob’s website. That’s me! 😛

dan & emma

OMG. Look!

They are SO. CUTE. Aww. On a totally shallow note, I LOVE Emma’s necklaces and the way she’s layered them. So stylish.

And Dan finally cut his hair! Thank goodness. I did not care for the shaggy look at all. He looks much better with shorter hair. Too bad he didn’t cut his hair *before* filming Goblet of Fire. Oh well.

So… Is it November 16 yet?!? 😀

weird habits

Can you believe that I’ve actually been out *doing* stuff this past week? Thus, the lack of blogging. This also means I was totally behind on TV. Until today, which I spent doing my best impression of a couch potato. I have such weird TV viewing habits.

😛

So, the TV comments…

birthday stuff

Ahhh, this year’s birthday has been so awesome. I haven’t done anything extraordinarily special… I’ve just been really happy. And thanks to all of you for your wonderful birthday greetings! 🙂

On my birthday, I got to work and found my cubicle decorated with streamers, confetti, and NEMO balloons! Awww. And the presents! I got a few pairs of earrings from my managers (I’m an earrings freak), a Banana Republic gift card, a cute pink purse, and a pink hoodie (can you tell I love pink? :P). My office even threw me a little “party” that afternoon. 🙂 I was blushing like crazy (I hate the attention) but OMG, the CAKES! I had a Strawberry Shortcake from Neldam’s Bakery and a Chocolate Cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory. SO. YUMMY. I swear I’ve gained about 10 pounds this week just from all the birthday treats.

I also got a new iPod from Rob because I’ve been complaining about mine. Hehe. My current one is a second generation iPod that has the touch pad menu instead of the click wheel. But OF COURSE, the day *after* my birthday, freaking Apple decides to release the video iPod, which OF COURSE, has 10gb more space AND video capabilities for the SAME price as the 20gb iPod I just received. BOO. So Rob’s going to exchange it for me. WOOHOO. I AM SO EXCITED. I love new toys.

Anyway, my dad showed up last night. He came up here to visit some old friends from college so he calls me and is like “Surprise! I’m here for the weekend.” Uhhhh. I don’t like surprises. I mean, I love my dad but give me some notice! He came over this morning and we had a great dim sum lunch over at the Oakland Chinatown. I stuffed myself silly. I have seriously eaten my weight in food this past week.

So it’s been a good weekend so far (with the exception of the CAL football loss). I hope everyone is having a great weekend as well! 🙂
