DC season 3 on DVD

Dawson’s Creek season 3 has been confirmed for DVD release! 😀

!!!

Now, if you know me at all, you’ll realize this is HUGE! Big news, people. Season 3 is my favorite season. *sigh* Thank you thank you thank you to Mandy for sharing the news! You’rethebestestever!

I think I may have found my new must-watch reality show. It’s a show called Airline (this season they’re featuring Southwest) on A&E. OMG. It’s fabulous. Passengers are throwing fits! Passengers are getting drunk and disorderly on the plane! The poor flight crew and airport personnel have to deal with the crazies! Good TV. 😀 Tonight’s episode featured a man at LAX who got angry because the security personnel wanted to search his shotgun. He even had the nerve to say “Do I look like an Arab?” Ugh. HELLO!!! You’re checking in a shotgun!!! Of course it’s going to be searched! THEN there was a woman in Chicago who was trying to fly home to San Diego. She got to the airport just a few minutes before her flight was supposed to leave but she still had to check-in and go through all the security lines. Of course, she missed her flight. And then, she had the nerve to get mad and yell at everyone in sight. Whatever. Get to the airport on time! When I book a ticket, I am ALWAYS told to arrive at the airport at least 2 hours ahead because of security. It’s like common knowledge, especially after 9/11.

Hee, it’s so much fun to get so riled up about a show. Good stuff.

gallery is evil

Posted on by

OMG. I seriously want to kill Gallery. My boyfriend is trying to help me reinstall it for High Anxiety and let me tell you, it is A ROYAL PAIN IN THE ASS. The stupid thing won’t work correctly. I’m *so* close to chucking it out and trying to find some other photo image gallery. Does anyone have any suggestions? I’ve heard of 4 images and Adobe Web Gallery — does anyone know anything about them? Like if they can easily be installed? I need something pretty much fool-proof or I’m liable to bash my head on the wall in frustration. 😛

There was a bright side to this weekend though —
Michelle Kwan won her 8th national title!!!!!!!!!

🙂

I’m so happy for her. She’s my all-time favorite figure skater and she was positively amazing in her long program. She landed all her jumps flawlessly and her artistry was, as usual, top-notch. I always get tears in my eyes when I watch her skate a perfect program. Silly, I know. I really really really hope to see her take on the Olympics in 2006 and finally win that gold medal.

I finally enjoyed an episode of Friends in who knows how long… Joey was SO funny. Joey doesn’t share food! BWAH. And Ross’s pink shirt! I was dying. That shirt was awful. And can I LOVE Chandler anymore?!? He was so sweet when he was talking about wanting the baby. Awww. Chandler rocks. I didn’t think I really would be so sad about this being the last season but now with all the promos… 🙁

You know, I seem to be the only person who doesn’t watch Joan of Arcadia. Humph. Every time I read people’s blogs, they seem to be gushing over the latest episode. I feel so left out. But seriously, Fridays are not good! I don’t watch TV on Fridays. It’s a… thing. Or something. Guess I’ll have to attempt the download route if I want to be one of the cool kids. 😀

Ooohhh… yay for new Smallville this week! If you’ve seen the promos (or read spoilers), then you know that there’s going to be a guest star and I cannot wait! Hee. [edit] If you want to know who…

iPod mini

Look how cute!

I have just fallen in love with the iPod Mini. *sigh* Too bad I already have an iPod that I just bought about 6 months ago. It’s just TOO cute though — it’s so small and it comes in COLORS. I want the silver… or the pink… or the baby blue. They’re all so yummy. But *MY* iPod has 11 more GB. Humph. So there.

The O.C. was fun tonight. I think I have officially fallen in love with Luke. He was so cute — playing the guitar, singing, playing videogames, talking so loud. Hee. So adorable… just like the whole Seth/Anna/Summer thing. Hee. I normally don’t like love triangles (see: Dawson’s Creek) but this one is kinda fun. And I just love how Summer sat right between Seth and Anna at the Cohens’ house. She still loves Seth! As for the Marissa/Ryan relationship — I’m not really feeling it anymore. It seems like their story is being bogged down with all the Oliver stuff. Yawn.

back to the daily grind

So it’s my first day back to work and I’m there until 8pm. !!! DIE DIE DIE. I’m still jet-lagged and all I wanted to do was go home and rest and watch 24. Is this too much to ask?

Anyway, I’m trying to catch up on all the pop culture gossip/TV spoilers/fandom fun that happened while I’ve been gone and WOW… lots of stuff. Little Miss Joey Potter (Katie Holmes) has gotten herself engaged. Aww. Don’t really have much of an opinion on Chris Klein but I think they make an adorable couple. Both beautiful and all that. And hee! I have to admit, I’m a huge fan of Britney Spears but seriously, what is wrong with her?!? Getting married? And it was a practical joke? Eeep.

Speaking of Britney, Rob and I are *pissed* that we didn’t get tickets to her upcoming tour. We both thought the tickets were going to be sold a bit later than they were so we missed it! Grrr. I was really looking forward to it. 😀

A little 2003 survey that I thieved from Christie:

FIVE GOOD THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN 2003
1. Pacey and Joey forever! (Hehe… I obviously have my priorities straight.)
2. I finally landed a job that actually matches my career goals.

5. I found a new couple to ship — Nathan and Haley from One Tree Hill.

*waves and blows kisses*

Happy Happy New Year! 😀

I’ve been back home for the past few days trying to get over my jet lag. Blah. I’m still not completely over it and unfortunately, tomorrow is my first day back to work. *groans* Back to the daily grind.

Hope that everyone had a good holiday — I’ll be back soon with a longer blog. 😉

have a great holiday!

Posted on by

Hey everyone! Just wanted to wish you all a happy holidays before I head off on my little vacation. I’m at my dad’s house in Southern California right now and I’m about to head off to the airport for my holiday trip to the Philippines and Thailand. I’ve been quite rushed these past few days with work so I apologize for not sending out holiday fansigns and such. I hope you all know how much I love all of you! 😀

I’ll be back on January 2nd — talk to you all then!

dc s2 DVDs

I know I’ve been blogging about Dawson’s Creek lately… and I swear I’m trying to come up with more varied topics to write about… but since the season 2 DVDs come out tomorrow, I have DC on the brain. 😛 So I was really looking forward to getting my DVDs but once I saw exactly how many songs were replaced, my anticipation went down to almost nothing. 🙁 I mean, I knew that the financial costs of all the songs precluded many of them from being on the DVD but WOW… they had to replace some key songs.

A few of my favorites that are gone…
— Kiss the Rain by Billie Myers — from the Dawson/Joey makeup scene in Crossroads
— Save Tonight by Save Ferris — from the Dawson/Pacey scene at the end of Crossroads
— Nobody But Me by Save Ferris — from the end of The All-Nighter when the Creekers jump into the pool (LOVE this scene! I’m so sad this song didn’t make the cut.)
— You Get What You Give by The New Radicals — from the Dawson/Joey walking in the rain scene at the end of Sex, She Wrote
— Paper Cup by Heather Nova — from the Pacey/Andie goodbye scene in Ch…Ch…Changes

That doesn’t even scratch the surface! Humph. They better not mess with season 3, that’s all I have to say. Ok. Rant over.

I guess I can console myself with all the pretty screencaps that I can make…

Anyway. No more DC talk. At least for the rest of this blog. Hehe.

Oh! I got my Return of the King tickets!!! Very exciting. Rob and I are going at 11:15 on Wednesday night. Hee. I’m going to get like 3 hours of sleep before work the next day. Nice.

yay! new pacey and joey layout

Posted on by

Yay! Pacey and Joey. I love Pacey and Joey. 😀

Finally a new layout. I have been itching to do something new around here but I have been so busy (read: extremely lazy). Heh. At first, I wanted to do more of a holiday layout — I was so close to scanning one of my holiday cards (an adorable snowman) to use but then I started digging around all the pictures I have saved on my hard drive and I came across this one. I *love love love* this picture of Pacey and Joey (it’s the picture that Dawson gave Joey for Christmas in season 4’s Self-Reliance) and it is a bit Christmas-y so… yeah.

Now I just need the inspiration to work on my other sites…

Doing the Seven on Sunday:

1. A song by a new favorite – Why Can’t I Breathe by Liz Phair
2. A song by an old favorite – Push by Matchbox 20
3. An oldie but goodie – Kokomo by The Beach Boys
4. A shamelessly admitted favorite – Where is the Love by The Black Eyed Peas
5. A sheepishly admitted favorite – Crazy in Love by Beyonce
6. A cover worthy of it’s original version – Have a Little Faith in Me by Mandy Moore
7. A holiday favorite – Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays by N Sync (Hey! No laughing! :P)

Work tomorrow. Don’t make me go! *sigh*

fannish five

Phew. Crisis averted. I don’t have to reformat my hard drive. My boyfriend managed to fix it! Some weird spywarecrap was hijacking the home page on my Internet Explorer and wouldn’t open pop ups or new windows. It was so annoying. I’m still not sure what he did to fix it — all I know is that I came home from work and it was functioning properly again. Yay for boyfriends who are all technical and cool and can fix things. 😀

A couple of fandom memes that I stole from various live journals…

Dawson’s Creek (My One True Fandom *sigh*)
One True Pairing Ship: Pacey and Joey. They make me ohsohappy.
Canon Ship: Pacey and Joey, Dawson and Jen
“If this happen(ed) I would have stabbed my eyes out with a spork” ‘Ship: Dawson and Andie. Two of my least favorite characters. *snooze*
“You are one sick bastard” ‘Ship: Pacey and Gale (or is it Gail?). hehe.
“I dabble a little” ‘Ship: Pacey and Jen. Two of the best characters EVER.
“It’s like a car crash” ‘Ship: Dawson and Joey. These two crazy kids just never got their act together at the same time. I even liked them way back when.
“Tickled my fancy but not sold quite yet” ‘Ship: Pacey and Andie. Cute relationship but Andie got on my nerves most of the time so I couldn’t bring myself to fully invest in them.
“Makes no canon sense but why the hell not” ‘Ship: Jack and Joey. Yes, I know he’s gay. That’s why it makes no sense! I guess I just think that Katie and Kerr look good together… that whole brunette/brunette thing.
“Everyone else loves it but I just don’t feel it” ‘Ship: Dawson and Joey
“When all is said and done” ‘Ship: Pacey and Joey. 4eva! *g*

Another fandom meme… (can you tell I’m bored?) 😉

How many and which of your fandoms do you own on DVD? I have Dawson’s Creek, Alias, Felicity, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, 24, Friends, Sex and the City, and Smallville. I’m pretty addicted to TV DVDs.

If you had tapes, did you toss them when you got the DVDs? Yup. They just took up too much room in my small, crowded apartment. I think I may have saved 1 or 2 to record other random stuff on.

What are your favorite extras (commentary tracks, behind-the-scenes featurettes, bloopers, foreign language dub, interviews with cast, etc.)? Love love love bloopers! So funny. Sadly, I think only my Alias DVDs have bloopers. It should be mandatory to have bloopers on a TV box set. Humph. I also really enjoy cast commentaries (it’s cute to listen to them ramble) and behind the scenes stuff. I think my favorite TV DVDs are the Alias ones — they have lost of great extras that fans really appreciate. I wish the people producing the Dawson’s Creek DVDs would take a hint. Those sets have barely any extras. Grr.

What do you view first: the episodes, commentary, extras? I always watch the extra stuff first. Then I’ll watch the episodes in order.

What fandoms on DVD do you not yet own or are not out yet? Hmmm… I’ve been meaning to pick up The West Wing and CSI but money will not allow at this time. 😛 I’m eagerly awaiting Roswell to get released in February. And I’m hoping that DVDs will be produced for Gilmore Girls, Everwood and The O.C. Fun fun.

$4 million dollars?!?

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY to NIK and SHIRLEY!

Did anyone watch Trista and Ryan’s Wedding on ABC?!? OMG. I can’t believe the wedding cost $4 million dollars! Holy crap. And it was ALL PINK. EVERYTHING. I like pink and all but geesh, she went overboard.

Anyway, I still can’t believe how close it is to Christmas! I still have so much Christmas shopping to do! *sigh* And I have to do my cards. I only have another week and a half to get all this done before I go on my mini-vacation. I don’t think I mentioned it here but my family and I are going to the Philippines and Thailand to spend the holidays with my grandma. I’m pretty excited — it’ll be nice to get away from work. 😀

Doing the Sunday Brunch because it goes along with the whole Christmas/holiday thing…

How many Christmas parties will you be attending between now and Christmas?
Just 1. I work with a small team of people so we’re going to have a Champagne Brunch at The Palace Hotel this coming Sunday.

Have you started Christmas shopping yet? If so, have you finished, or when do you expect to finish?
I’ve started but I’m definitely not finished yet. I think I’ve only gotten through a third of my list. Oy. I really wanted to avoid all the crowds that are sure to be at the mall in the next week or so. Guess not.

Who is your favorite person to shop for?
All the people on my list are difficult and time-consuming! hehe.

Have you decorated your house yet? (inside or outside)
I live in an apartment so we don’t do exterior decorations. Inside the apartment, the Christmas tree dominates the living room so that’s pretty much the scope of the interior decorations.

When did/do you put up your Christmas tree?
We put it up last Saturday. So much fun. I love trimming the tree.
