lazy days

Posted on by

I haven’t done anything productive all day. It’s turned out to be one of those weekends where I have high hopes of things to accomplish (like doing laundry, cleaning my room, working on a project for work) but of course, my laziness takes over and I do absolutely nothing. Wow.

And to avoid real blogging — the Friday Five:

What was the last TV show you watched?
Oliver’s Twist on the Food Network. Hee. I love food.

What was the last thing you complained about?
Not having anything to eat in the apartment. And I just went grocery shopping last Wednesday. Geesh. Apparently, food goes fast here.

Who was the last person you complimented and what did you say?
Hmm… I don’t think I talked to anyone other than my boyfriend today and I’m pretty sure I didn’t compliment him on anything. Heh. Just kidding — I complimented him on the fried rice he made for dinner.

What was the last thing you threw away?
The peels to the orange I just ate. Mmmm. Really juicy and sweet.

What was the last website (besides this one) that you visited?
Dawson’s Creek Music — a great resource for all the songs ever featured on the show.

eeeeeeeeeee!

Rob bought me the Cookie Monster and Elmo Potato Sack Racers. 🙂 I can’t stop smiling. I just put batteries in them and it is so much fun to watch them race. Elmo says “Get out of my way!” and Cookie Monster says “Monster coming through!” Hee.

And YES, I do realize that I’m 23 and much too old for these toys. But they’re so. much. FUN.

In other news, I totally forgot there was a new Smallville tonight. Last season, I loved this show — this season is kind of… eh. I can take it or leave it, especially since I’m not too fond of the Clark/Lana/Chloe triangle or the Lex/Helen relationship. At least there’s a rerun on Sunday so I can watch it for the sake of watching it.

Eeee, still giddy about my Sesame Street Potato Sack Racers. 😀

my new obsession?

omg, Everwood was SO. GOOD. tonight. Anybody who doesn’t watch it, NEEDS TO. I’m serious. The characters are all lovable and their interactions with each other are so real. And to think this show was created by former Dawson’s Creek exec producer, Greg Berlanti. Anyway, I know Alie won’t see it for a few more days so I’ll only say this… AMY, what is WRONG with you?!? Gah, she needs a double dose of reality. Stat.

I also caught the episode of 7th Heaven — don’t like the show but it seems the WB did a fabulous job of advertising it, because I seriously felt compelled to watch it if only to see the cameos by Jessica Biel and Barry Watson. But really, after about 5 minutes, I was reminded why I don’t watch the show. It’s just way too saccharine and cheesy for me. And I usually looove cheese (see my love for DC). I had a few minor clothing issues — Mary wore her flight attendant outfit to the wedding and Matt wore jeans to give Lucy away. Come on, people! Tell me that’s not strange.

caps, caps –get your caps!

I can’t believe I’ve just spent the last hour or so thinking about my wedding.

No, I’m not getting married or anything, lol — but my best friend and I have just been discussing potential color schemes and floral arrangements. *sigh* It’s such a girly thing but oh so fun, hee. I was telling my boyfriend about our conversation and he proceeded to tell me that his ideal colors would be purple and gold, he would wear a purple tux and the wedding would be held at the Staples Center. Can you tell he’s an LA Lakers fan? Gah, that would be the wedding of my NIGHTMARES!

Stolen from Nicola:

5 TV Boyfriends:
1. Pacey, Dawson’s Creek — “I remember everything.” *swoons*
2. Colin, Everwood
3. Lex, Smallville
4. Chandler, Friends — Can he BE any cuter?!?
5. Noel, Felicity

5 TV Girlfriends:
1. Jen, Dawson’s Creek
2. Maria, Roswell
3. Lane, Gilmore Girls — she kinda already reminds me of one my best friends 🙂
4. Felicity, Felicity
5. Charlotte, Sex and the City

Oh! Fields of Gold now has DC dvd caps for Nicola, Linda and Angie. Just click on the “screen caps” section. I have some other random scenes but I developed a bad case of laziness when I was uploading them, lol. Becca, I will email you soon. 🙂

I have work tomorrow from 8-11am. SCORE! 🙂

I’m going to do a little shopping in the city. Fun fun fun. I don’t even understand why I need to go in to work. Oh well. I’m not complaining.

I realized today that kids freak me out. My boss brought her 7-year old son to work today and of course, while she was out at meetings, *I* was the one who got to watch over him and keep him entertained. I swear, I don’t think I ever want to have kids now. He’s the sweetest boy — but he was so damn hyper! Gah, he made my head spin

Friday Five:

Who is your favorite celebrity?
Joshua Jackson. Just cause he’s cute. 😛

Who is your least favorite?
J. Lo. There’s just something about her that really bugs me.

Have you ever met or seen any celebrities in real life?
When I was 15, I was flying from LA to San Francisco and Alicia Silverstone was on my flight. It was the summer that Clueless came out so she was swarmed by quite a few teenage boys who wanted to take pictures with her. I also saw Tracey Gold (Carol Seaver from Growing Pains) when I was at Universal City Walk. Or at least I remember thinking that was her.

Would you want to be famous? Why or why not?
No, not really — I like my anonymity too much. 🙂

If you had to trade places with a celebrity for a day, who would you choose and why?
Either Katie Holmes or Michelle Williams. They get to work with Josh Jackson. What could be better than that? 😉

BTW, Becca, Nicola and Angie — I haven’t forgotten about your requests! I will try to get it done tomorrow when I get home. Yay for short work days!

evil greymatter

Freaking greymatter.

The damn thing just crapped out on me last night. I discovered that one of my entry files from early last year was corrupted somehow. I didn’t have time to fix it so I left it the way it was — sorry if anyone was trying to comment and it wouldn’t work! As soon as I got home from work today, though, I put on Kelly Clarkson’s new CD (which is amazing, btw) and proceeded to spend the next 3 hours reinstalling greymatter, deleting the corrupted files, editing every single entry file and renaming every single entry file. What a pain in the ass. I mean, I have over 200 entries! I even taped all my Tuesday night TV because I wanted to get it fixed so badly. Gah, must watch Buffy — I want to see Faith! Anyway, I think (I hope!) the blog is fully functional again. I lost my 2 most recent entries but that’s okay, I just didn’t want to lose over a year’s worth of my ranting and raving. 😀

my brand-spanking new LJ

Posted on by

So… I have an LJ now. hee.

This blog will definitely still be my primary place of rambling — the LJ will serve as a device to stalk others. mwahahaha. 🙂 Anyway, if you’d like to see it — go here. The pink may be a tad bright but I think that’s part of its charm. 😉 Let me know if any of you out there has an LJ — I need more friends! lol. Anyway, much love and thanks to Amy for hooking me up with a code. You’re a star!

Hmm… Friday Five…

What was the first band you saw in concert?
Boyz II Men. When we were 15, my friends and I flew all the way to Las Vegas from Southern CA just to see them. Fun times.

Who is your favorite artist/band now?
Oh no, I’m kind of a flighty person when it comes to “favorites.” My preferences change constantly. But as of right now, I’d have to say I’m in love with Good Charlotte, Linkin Park, Justin Timberlake, Norah Jones and Dashboard Confessional.

What’s your favorite song?
Etta James’s At Last. Classic. Soulful.

If you could play any instrument, what would it be?
I have absolutely no interest in playing an instrument, lol. But if I must, I’d probably want to learn how to play the violin — for no other reason than it looks cool.

If you could meet any musical icon (past or present), who would it be and why?
Janet Jackson. She’s my performing idol. Plus, I want to find out how to get her abs of steel, heh.

Btw, Becca — I would be so thankful if you showed me where to find that thumbnail maker — I have no patience for creating them!

i feel all torn up

Posted on by

Do not read if you do not want to know about tonight’s episode of Dawson’s Creek.

So Love Bites tore me up. Seriously. I was teary for most of the episode. I can’t believe after all the crap it has put me through (see season 5), the darn show still has an effect on me. Damn it, I really am going to miss it when it’s gone. Only 5 more episodes.

I love Joey but can she get any more wishy-washy?!? The girl needs to learn to make a decision. I can’t for the life of me understand why she would lead Pacey on only to stomp all over his heart when Eddie comes back. Now, I don’t dislike Eddie (I actually thought they were cute during the Christmas episode) but the writers were the ones who dropped the ball. They could have left P/Jo dead and buried. I accepted that. But then 4 episodes ago, they brought up the possibility of P/Jo reuniting — and I really don’t want to let it go that easily.

But the storyline that had me bawling was Jen and Grams. It hit a little too close to home for me. And let me just say that Michelle Williams and Mary Beth Piel are amazing — their tight hug said it all.

Some quotes I liked:
Dawson: Pace, I think after all we’ve been through together that we don’t have to worry about it getting awkward.
Pacey: Well, yes, we’ve certainly been through awkward, but we’ve never been through “I’m broke and it’s all your fault.”

Patrick: Yeah, I don’t know why I should be taking advice from you. Like you’re some kind of Yoda when it comes to the chicks.
Pacey: Have you seen my date?
Patrick: Tell me more, Sensai.

Pacey: So what, you’re scared. Right? You’re scared. And so am I, believe me. And I’m scared because I don’t know where this thing is going, Jo. As in, I think it could go anywhere. This could be it.
Joey: It won’t be.
Pacey: How could you possibly know that? I mean, really. Last week, you’re onboard, and now you’re just psychically telling me that this could never be something great. You can’t possibly know that, because we don’t know that, Joey.

Pacey: Don’t tell me that you’re not scared, because I know that you are. I mean, I’ve known you too long and seen you push away too many good things to let you push me away right now. My whole life, Joey, my whole life you have been the most beautiful thing in my orbit. And my feelings for you were what proved to me that I could be great. And those feelings were stronger and were wiser and more persistent and more resilient than anything else about me.

Grams: Jennifer… I am not ready to die yet. Come here. (Waaahhhhhh!)

And did anyone see the preview for next week? They’re following up an emotionally heavy episode with THAT?!?

Thanks to everyone for the compliments on the layout. Y’all know how to make a girl smile. 🙂

Am I the only person who *doesn’t* have a Live Journal?

It seems like lots of people are getting one. Is it sad that I want an LJ so I can stop being “anonymous” when I comment? It’s kinda depressing, lol.

Kelly’s going to be on American Idol tomorrow! Very excited about that.

Made some DC caps today but I have no energy to make thumbnails and upload them. Will probably do that by the weekend. If anyone can recommend an easier and faster way of creating a screencap gallery, that would be fabulous. I think I went a bit overboard — I capped 4 scenes today and came out with a little over 180 caps! Crazy.

homage to dc

New layout, yay. I just needed a bit of a change from the red in the last layout. It was getting too bright and cheery… or something.

And yes, I do realize it’s Dawson’s Creek again, lol. I just wanted something that spanned all the seasons of DC since the show is coming to an end soon. Be sure to check out all the other sections — the little header pictures are all different. 🙂 Fun fun.

I’ve actually only managed to watch the first 4 episodes of my DC s1 DVD (Pilot, The Dance, The Kiss, Discovery) and gawd, how much better was the dialogue back then? It’s completely different from the writing in the later seasons. It was a lot more self-aware and witty back then. And I completely agree with Kate, the chemistry between Pacey and Joey is like… palpable. They act as if they despise one another but deep down they have real respect and love for the other. I totally missed that before — I was so busy being confused about which side of the Joey/Jen/Dawson triangle to root for. On the one hand, I wanted Joey to get her dream but I also saw something really sweet in Dawson and Jen’s relationship.

Last bit of DC talk — if you requested DVD caps from me, I haven’t started them yet! Eek, don’t hate me. I was very lazy this weekend. I’ll probably get started tomorrow.
