breakfast foods

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGIE!

Doing the Friday Five because I have absolutely nothing to blog about —

What did you have for breakfast this morning? If you didn’t have breakfast, why not? I had McDonald’s for breakfast! I’m such a sucker for their breakfast menu. I had a sausage mcmuffin, hash browns, and coffee with lots of cream and sugar. 🙂 Yuuummm… I love breakfast. I can eat breakfast foods at all times of the day and I would be happy. Mmmm.

What’s your favorite cereal? Well, my favorite sugary-y cereals are Corn Pops and Apple Jacks but if I also really love Special K with red berries even though it’s one of the more “healthy” cereals.

How often do you eat out? Do you want that to change? Rob and I eat out for dinner about 1-2 times a week. And I buy lunch a few times during the week while I’m at work. I’m trying my hardest to bring my lunch because all the food expenses really add up. But I get so lazy and forget to prepare it. Eh.

What do you plan on having for dinner tonight? Got a recipe for that? I don’t even want to think about it.

What’s your favorite restaurant? Why? Probably Macaroni Grill… I loooove pasta dishes, specifically the Pasta Milano that they serve. It’s heavenly. 😛

Um. So Kel has died and gone to Pacey/Joey heaven. That’s where she’ll be for awhile. 🙂

[edit] Hmm… I decided that I loved tonight’s DC episode, “Clean and Sober,” SO much that I would watch it again… and again. I’ve watched it 3 times now, lol! And because I’m too lazy (and giddy!) to write anything coherent, here are some of my favorite things from the episode:

— Joey (to Pacey): “Your clothes don’t fool me — same old lovable punk.”
(And it was so cool that Pacey and Joey were shopping in Best Buy. That’s my favorite store! hee.)

— I loved Joey’s season 2 references — 1) telling David about Jack getting excited when she was sketching him and 2) telling CJ that Jen “killed a girl once… Abby Morgan… with champagne.” Drunk Joey rocks!

— Pacey (to Joey after she said that he wasn’t over her): “Ah yes, I cry myself to sleep every night. But Jack and I cuddle… that eases the pain.” Heh.

— Joey (to Jen and CJ as they leave Spin the Bottle to make out some more): “This isn’t 7 minutes in heaven… you guys have to come back.”

— Audrey (to Dawson): “You seem a little less self-absorbed than when you got here. You better get yourself back to LA proper, fast.”
(I think I might actually like these two together… but I don’t want to subject Audrey on Dawson just yet. I like him too much).

— Jen (to CJ after having sex on Joey’s coat): “Joey has enough coats.” lol.

And by far, my MOST favorite quote —
— Pacey (to Joey, who is sleeping, about not getting over her): “What you said earlier was right. I never did. How could I? Just look at you.”

THUD. That is me falling on the floor from happiness. 🙂

first official day

Posted on by

Wow, I’m so tired. Today was my first official day of work.

I had training for a few days last week but today was my first day on my own. The girl that I replaced had already gone to start her new job. And the senior staff were all on sales calls in LOS ANGELES! So I was alone in the office by myself. All. Alone. A bit scary, really.

It wasn’t too bad though — I had a list of things to do so I wasn’t bored. Just really tired. In my month of rest, I had forgotten how it felt to be at work at 8am. Yuck.

sooo bored

It was definitely a horrible way to start my day by turning on the TV and seeing all the images and the press coverage of the Columbia tragedy. I want to extend my sympathy to the families of those who died. They will all be in my thoughts and prayers.

*sigh* So… even though it’s Saturday, I’m gonna do the Friday Five —

As a child, who was your favorite superhero/heroine? Why? I really loved She-Ra, Princess of Power! She rocked. And she had a cool castle too.

What was one thing you always wanted as a child but never got? Hmm… I have to admit that I was pretty spoiled as a child… you know, that whole only child thing. But I did want one of those Easy Bake ovens, hee.

What’s the furthest from home you’ve been? The furthest I’ve been from home is probably going to the Philippines or to Hong Kong. I’m not exactly sure which one is farther. The plane ride is about 14-15 hours long. It’s pretty horrifying because I can’t stand airplane bathrooms. *shudders*

What’s one thing you’ve always wanted to learn but haven’t yet? Uhhh… learn to cook? lol. As my boyfriend can attest to, my cooking skills are pretty much non-existent.

What are your plans for the weekend? Not much — just relaxing before my first day of work on Monday!

OMG! Sometimes I can’t believe my extreme lack of self-control! I went over to Alias Media and looked at the screen caps and watched the clips for tomorrow’s episode. *shakes head*

Aww, thanks for the congrats everyone! *blushes*

I’m really really happy to be working (and making money!) again. It’s been a whole month since my last day at my old job and sitting at home every day just doesn’t have the same novelty now that it did back in late December. Watching old videos and sleeping late, as unbelievable as it may sound, got a bit tired.

So… for the past 3 weeks, I’ve been searching job listings and writing cover letters like a madwoman because the thought of having no money to pay for rent(!) started to freak me out a little. BUT I didn’t want to settle for any old job, you know? I mean, that was the very reason why I quit my last one — I was sick of the work that wasn’t going anywhere in an industry that I had no desire to pursue a career in. So I told myself to take as long as I needed to find a job that I was happy with — can you imagine how psyched I was that it only took me a month? 🙂

Anyway, I’m going to be working at Clear Channel Communications as an assistant in their advertising department — I’m very excited! I really finally feel, for the first time since graduating from college, that I’m on a real career path and it feels really good. 🙂

Sorry for being all schmoopy but I’m just so excited.

OMG!!! Did anyone see the promo for next week’s episode of Dawson’s Creek? It made me all sad — the announcer said something like “Countdown to Goodbye — 10 all new episodes — The End of an Era.” Waaah! I’ve watched DC since Jan 98 and as dumb as it may sound, it helped me get through my college years. It was like a really good friend that I could count on every week. Or something like that. I know that the quality of the show has steadily declined since the first season and it should end before it gets any worse but I’m still really gonna miss it.

After watching a fantastic Everwood tonight, I have a new fan!girl crush on Mike Erwin. *sigh*

As for the episode, it pained me to see Colin (Mike Erwin!) deal with the frustrations of not being able to remember names and places of his past — his sadness and anger definitely came through. I’m glad that he’s trying to develop a friendship with Ephram. But I’m scared to think of what will happen when Colin finds out that there’s more to Amy and Ephram’s relationship than they’re letting on. Speaking of Amy, I found her to be much more of a sympathetic character today — I really felt for her when she was standing all alone during the Homecoming announcement. It was like a manifestation of her current relationship with Colin — even though he’s back, she’s still all alone. Bright really saved the day for Amy when he walked her through the ceremony though. Very cute. Didn’t much like Carl. Nina deserves much better. I can’t tell if he means well or if he has some sort of secret. Hmmm. Much to ponder.

omg! alias!

I have no words for tonight’s episode of Alias. WOW. I’m still in total shock. Eeeee! Ahem… I think I might just have to start reading spoilers for this show because I seriously can’t survive not knowing what’s going to happen. If anyone knows a good spoiler board, let me know! 😛

Hmm… so I watched the Super Bowl — and I have 2 new favorite commercials (see, I really do watch the SB for the commercials)!

1. The VISA check card commercial with Yao Ming (the Houston Rockets basketball player). I loved how everyone was like “Yo!” and he kept saying “Yao!” heh.

2. Another Yao Ming commercial. This time for Apple. It was so cute how he was sitting next to Verne Troyer (Mini-Me from Austin Powers) and he had the smaller 12in. laptop while Verne had the bigger 17in. laptop. Fun fun.

Ooo-kay, then… I will answer the Seven on Sunday.

Seven Things That Never Fail to Cheer You Up
1. watching classic Pacey and Joey episodes of DC
2. desserts — strawberry pie, pistachio almond ice cream, brownies…
3. receiving a compliment
4. having a good conversation with friends
5. redesigning my site
6. going shopping 🙂
7. re-reading my Harry Potter books

real world/road rules

For some reason, I’ve become really into Real World and Road Rules again — my obsession goes through phases, I guess. Sometims I love certain seasons (namely RW Hawaii and New Orleans) and then other times, I’m completely indifferent (RW Chicago and RR The Quest). But right now, with the crazy cast of Las Vegas and the hilarious antics of the Battle of the Sexes, I have become obsessed again. I’ll even watch the ten million reruns that MTV shows of each episode. *shakes head* But what I’ve found to be really interesting after watching the new Battle of the Sexes episodes, is to read the recaps done by three cast members: Colin from RW 8 Hawaii, Melissa from RW 9 New Orleans, and Lori from RW 10 New York. The 3 of them put up their recaps after a new episode airs on Monday nights. They shed a lot of light about the editing and stuff that happens behind the scenes. They’re all pretty interesting reads — like in Melissa’s blog, she mentions that Jon Murray (one of the creators) thanked her for the fight she had with Julie in the first episode. That’s just weird.

Anyway… time for the Friday Five:

What is one thing you don’t like about your body? I’m too short. I’m like 5 ft. 2 in. or something. I hate it mostly because when I buy pants, I always have to have them hemmed. What a pain.

What are two things you love about your body? Uhhh, I don’t really love anything but I guess I like my smile and my arms.

What are three things you want to change about your home? Well first, I really dislike all the wires that we have running from the 4 computers to the hub that’s located in the living room. We tried to get them as close to the wall as possible but they still bother me. Secondly, I wish that we had another room so that Rob’s desk didn’t have to be in the corner of the living room. And lastly, I wish I had a bigger closet. I have too many clothes.

What are four books you want to read this year? Hmm… The Nanny Diaries, The Lovely Bones, A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning, Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

What are five promises you have kept to yourself? I’ve been pretty good about cooking food at home as opposed to always going out to eat. I have decreased my clothes shopping considerably — but I think that might be due to the fact that I have no disposable income to use! I don’t procrastinate as much as I used to when it comes to cleaning my apartment. I’ve started to go through, clean and throw out the contents of various boxes that have been under my bed since I moved in a year ago. That’s only 4 but I can’t think of anything else…

Ok, this is too long already… need to sleep.
