OMG! Becca has made a fanlisting for me! It’s located here. *blushes* Aww. So, so sweet. 🙂 Thanks again Becca!

So my American Idol predictions were a *little* off. 2 out of 3 isn’t bad, right? 😉 I didn’t particularly enjoy Matt so I can’t say I’m sad he’s gone. I just hope that the contestants improve next week — I don’t think I can take any more subpar performances.
Anyway, I don’t know if I was just blinded because I missed the show but I totally enjoyed tonight’s episode of The O.C.. Not much depth but still a lot of fun. And it’s cool to see that the show has no qualms about making fun of itself. I loved all the references to The Valley, the Seth/Summer jealousy (aww, they’re so cute!) and all the Sandy/Jimmy restaurant stuff. The only thing that marred the episode for me was the return of Hailey. Blah.
Some of my favorite quotes…
Sandy: “You’re really not so good at managing the money, huh Coop?”
Kirsten: “I knew you didn’t go to the IMAX.”
Marissa: “Okay, you’re starting to sound like Seth.”
Ryan: “Yeah, he’s rubbing off on me.”
Ryan: “How does he play high school?”
Seth: “Its Hollywood, man.”
Paris Hilton: “Orange County? Ew!”
Summer: “She said Ew!”
Grady: “Why? I’m not in this scene.”
Seth: “I heard some really, really awful music and I knew it could only be self-indulgent actors with instruments.”
Seth: “Or you could be the Bitch.”
Summer: “All right, I’ll take the Boobs.”
Seth: “So will I.”
And my MOST favorite quote…
Summer: “He saved Middle Earth. It’s, like, the most important part of European history.” HEE!
I can’t decide if next week’s episode looks good or bad. Huh.
AI… again
Why does FOX insist on having a 2-hour episode of American Idol?!? 2 hours is waaaay too long. I think they could easily have had 11 performances in 1 hour. Instead, they decide to fill it up with useless fluff commercials and that horrific video of Paula and Simon (my eyes! they are on fire!).
My predictions for this week’s bottom 3: Jennifer, Matt and Camile. With Jennifer packing her bags.
Also, Josh Gracin is releasing an album?!? WHY?!?
wonderfalls
So I finally watched the pilot episode of Wonderfalls and huh, I actually kinda liked it. Caroline Dhavernas managed to carry what would otherwise be an incredibly lame and corny plot. She was great at playing sarcastic, funny and quirky. Plus! The Sheriff from Roswell plays Jaye’s dad. Hee, I love it when all my shows merge together. I just finished downloading the second episode — let’s hope it doesn’t disappoint! I just wish it didn’t air on Friday nights. Horrible, horrible time slot.
Gawd, the timestamp on my blog entries are totally wrong (points to Amanda and Alie for noticing!). It’s 3 hours ahead. I just tried changing it to PST so I’m crossing my fingers that it’ll work.
Oh, and for any real life friends that are reading — Ricardo proposed to Leah this past weekend! Aww. Yay for them. 🙂
alias s2 dvds
Weekends are too damn short.
On a positive note, I got my Alias s2 DVDs!!! Gawd, they’re so nice and shiny. LOVE them. I’m supposed to be sleeping but what the heck, I’m going to pop them in the DVD player and watch a couple of episodes. 😀
bored on a Friday night…
It’s a boring Friday night for me so I’m going to do the Friday Five —
If you…
1. …owned a restaurant, what kind of food would you serve?
Italian. I’m a sucker for pasta and tiramisu. Mmm. YUM.
2. …owned a small store, what kind of merchandise would you sell?
Clothes! Because I’m a clothes whore, heh. I would carry items from my favorite designers — Ella Moss, Foley + Corinna, James Perse.
3. …wrote a book, what genre would it be?
Most likely chick lit cause I’m such the girly-girl. Maybe similar to the Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella.
4. …ran a school, what would you teach?
In college, I loved my pop culture classes so I’d enjoy teaching something similar. I mean, what’s not to love about studying TV and movies?
5. …recorded an album, what kind of music would be on it?
Bubblegum pop. Something fun that’ll call for a great video and rocking choreography.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
american idol s3
So I finally tuned in to American Idol tonight to catch the top 12 performances… and I felt totally and completely underwhelmed. I think the judges are right in saying this is probably the most talented group from all 3 seasons but none of the contestants really captured my attention tonight. I mean, in the first season, when Kelly Clarkson sang Natural Woman, I seriously fell in love! No one this season so far.
Another thing I noticed that in this top 12, everyone fits into some type of category — the R&B/diva singers (LaToya, Jennifer, Fantasia), the pop stars (Diana, Jasmine, Camile, Leah), and then the rest. It totally seems like the judges want to manipulate the audience into voting for a certain “type” of performer.
I do think it’s cool that 2 filipinos made it into the top 12 though. Represent! (Note: I do not talk like this in real life.) 😀
confirmed! dc s3!
I was having a pretty crappy day (for no particular reason really) and then 2 things happened that made me squee with delight:
1. Official confirmation on Dawson’s Creek Season 3 on DVD! OMGOMGOMG! Can you imagine? All the greatest Pacey/Joey moments (True Love, The Anti-Prom, The Longest Day, etc.) immortalized on DVD?!? So. Excited.
2. Finally, after sitting through a less than stellar season 3, Alias hits me with an awesome episode. I was seriously sitting on the edge of my seat for the entire episode. Loved Ricky Gervais (which reminds me that I need to finish watching The Office DVD), loved Vaughn (in glasses *dies*), loved Sark (in handcuffs!), loved Weiss (“method acting!”), loved Jack (“get the defibrillator!”). Basically loved all the men. Hee.
Speaking of men, let me do this great meme (stolen from Linda)…
10 TV Characters You’d Most Like to Have Sex With (HEE!)
1. Pacey, Dawson’s Creek — He’s sweet, romantic and has the ability to make a woman feel like the center of the universe. *sighs*
2. Colin, Everwood — The popular athlete who’s a cutie to boot.
3. Clark, Smallville — Cause who doesn’t love a good boy?
4. Vaughn, Alias — Spies are sexy. Especially spies who can speak French and rock a pair of eyeglasses like nobody’s business.
5. Tony, 24 — The guy gets shot and is back at work about an hour later. That kind of energy and stamina could be good in bed. BWAH!
6. Nathan, One Tree Hill — Equal parts arrogance and sweetness. Perfect.
7. Danny, Las Vegas — He just has the most mesmerizing smile. *melts*
8. Spike, Buffy the Vampire Slayer — That long, dark coat of his never fails to make me swoon.
9. Max, Roswell — So broody and shy with a dark, soulful quality to him.
10. Sark, Alias — He makes evil seem cool.
Guh. I had something else to blog about but after thinking about cute boys for the past few minutes, my brain has turned into a pile of mush. Hee. 😀
being short is evil
Being short is evil. All I want to do is buy some capri pants for spring/summer and they’re all too long! They reach that point right below my ankles where they just look so silly. I really really hate having pants hemmed all the time. Gah.
I missed the premiere of Wonderfalls last Friday. Seriously, Fridays are such bad TV days for me! I’m currently downloading it now (hehe) and I’m crossing my fingers that it’s worth it. Cause you know, I need another TV show to watch, hehe.
Saw Starsky and Hutch on Friday — SO funny! Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson are such a great comedic team. I was laughing practically throughout the entire movie. Two thumbs up! 😀
1. What was the last song you heard?
Maroons 5’s This Love (like this song but I *always* hear it on the radio, MTV)
2. What were the last two movies you saw?
Starsky and Hutch (omg, hilarious!) and Cheaper By the Dozen (Tom Welling *swoon*)
3. What were the last three things you purchased?
fun dangly earrings from Express, eyeshadow from MAC, and a Pepsi from the convenience store near my apartment
4. What four things do you need to do this weekend?
laundry (blah), take clothing donations to Goodwill, scan Britney tourbook, update sites
5. Who are the last five people you talked to?
Rob (boyfriend), Jimmy (roommate)… and I guess 3 random cashiers at the mall? Hee.
Yay Ben Affleck and N.E.R.D. on SNL! 🙂
britney concert
Girl Scout cookie time! YUM. I bought 2 boxes today. Gah. No self-control whatsoever.
Anyway, I had loads of fun at the Britney concert! I’m such a Britney fangirl, hee. It was a sold out show and I was very surprised that it was a much, much older crowd than her previous tour. This time I didn’t stick out like a sore thumb. Hee.
Here’s the set list and costume changes rundown, lol.
Opening — Britney came out on a moving platform wearing a skintight black leather catsuit
— Toxic
— Overprotected
— Boys
— Showdown
Lounge Club/Cabaret Themed — she changed into a racy pink underwear ensemble and black fishnet stockings
— Baby One More Time (I did not like this remix AT ALL. Too slow and jazz-y for me. Give me the pop tart version any day.)
— Oops… I Did it Again
— Crazy (YAY! An oldie but goodie!)
Jungle/Garden Themed — she wore a gorgeous blue/green/yellow dress
— Everytime (She played the piano for the first few verses!)
— The Hook Up
— I’m a Slave 4 U (probably one of my most favorite performances of the night — loved the choreography and the dancing)
Cirque de Soleil Themed — she was elevated on a swing and was wearing another gorgeous blue dress
— Shadow
Bedroom Themed — Whoa! Britney came out wearing a fluffy white bathrobe which she took off to reveal the diamond suit from the Toxic video! Guys in the audience were DYING.
— Touch of my Hand (lots of uh, touching)
— Breathe On Me (she quickly changed into another pink bra and panties set and danced intimately on a bed with one of her dancers)
— Outrageous
Closing — she wore a cute pink tank top with baggy pants
— (I Got That) Boom Boom (another audience favorite — very fun and totally high energy)
The encore was Me Against the Music which to be honest, left me a little underwhelmed. It was the same performance that I’ve seen at all the award shows and appearances that she’s done. She was even wearing the same suit and jacket outfit as her video (but it was a beautiful shade of red). Well, whatever — the rest of the concert was great fun so I can overlook the encore. 😉
Hopefully I’ll get the chance to scan the tourbook this weekend — lots of pretty pretty pics!
