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.

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.

dc series finale dvd

omg, will you take a look at the cover for the Dawson’s Creek Series Finale DVD? Isn’t that horrible?!? I mean, Jen and Pacey’s heads don’t even match their bodies, blech. Gah, I can’t believe someone actually got paid for that.

I went to see Charlie’s Angel: Full Throttle earlier — good, mindless entertainment. I’m still not over the shock of seeing Demi Moore in a bikini. I want to look like that when I’m 40 and have 3 kids! So jealous. If that movie did anything for me, it served as motivation to get my lazy butt to the gym. I have a couple of skirts that are getting a bit snug. Not good. Anyway, a question for anyone who has seen the movie — what the heck was the point of Crispin Glover’s character (Thin Man)?

And now for the Friday Five:

Do you remember your first best friend? Who was it?
I have such a bad memory but I *think* the first person I called my “best friend” was a girl named Jola. We met in first grade.

Are you still in touch with this person?
No. We were in school together until 8th grade, but we grew apart after 5th or 6th grade, I believe. Our personalities just went in completely different directions as we got older.

Do you have a current close friend?
There are 4 people in my life that I consider to be my closest friends — best friends Carmen and Robyn, my cousin Riz, and my boyfriend Rob.

How did you become friends with this person?
Carmen, Robyn and I met in first grade. We’ve been friends ever since. I still can’t get over the fact that I’ve known these girls for around 17 years. But I feel so lucky to have friends who have seen me through some of the best and worst times of my life. My cousin is family so there was no avoiding that relationship, lol. Riz’s family lived with us for awhile and we were forced (hey, I’m an only child — I’m not used to sharing! ;)) to share a room. It sounds cliche but I feel like she’s the closest thing I have to a real sister. And finally, I met Rob officially when I was a freshman in college but I knew who he was prior to that because we went to high school together (he’s a year older).

Is there a friend from your past that you wish you were still in contact with? Why?
I’d love to find out how the girls from my ballet class are doing. I trained and practiced with the same group of girls from age 6 to about 14, which was when I quit professional training. I’m just curious to see if anyone actually pursued a dance career. There are also a few people from high school that I think about sometimes. But I think I’m just a nosy person. 🙂

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATE!

Thanks to everyone for the nice comments on the layout! I really really appreciate it. And yes, the picture I used really is the US cover for OotP. 🙂

So I did it. I bought the Apple iPod (15gb, yay!). I’ve been lusting (hee) after it for quite some time so when I received an $85 coupon in the mail today from Dell, I decided I might as well put the coupon to good use. AND the Dell site was offering free shipping. I mean, with those discounts, it would have been a crime not to buy the iPod. Right?!? The only downside to ordering from Dell is that it takes about 2-3 weeks for delivery. (!!!) I seriously don’t think I can wait that long. I might break from the anticipation.

I just found out that season 1 of Smallville is being released on DVD in late September. Very very exciting — except that season 1 of Alias is coming out earlier that same month. Buying both of these DVD sets will cost me about $100. I definitely need a salary raise.

ps- Lauren, the lyrics are from John Hiatt’s Have A Little Faith In Me.

Got my Dawson’s Creek DVDs today! So very excited. I haven’t gotten the chance to watch them yet… saving that for the weekend so it’ll be a marathon along with the season 2 episodes that I’ll be taping the rest of this week.

Ok, going to make some screencaps of “The Dance” now — definitely one of my favorite s1 episodes. I loooove the Dawson/Jen scene at the end. “I want to be your boy adventure. ” Awww… back then, I wanted Dawson and Joey to realize their feelings for each other but I did love Dawson and Jen’s brief relationship as well. Sometimes I feel like the only person in the DC fandom who loved Jen in season 1. I know the writers set her up as “the obstacle” to Dawson and Joey but I never used that as a reason to dislike her — and since she’s my favorite character, it disappoints me to read all the blind hatred of her characters simply because she “got in the way.”

Anyway, if anyone else wants me to make them screencaps of certain scenes from my DC DVDs, I’d be happy to do so. I probably don’t have time to do entire episodes but short scenes are fine. 🙂

grrr… argh

My Dawson’s Creek season 1 DVDs shipped today! Hopefully I’ll have them by the weekend so I can have my DC marathon. I actually woke up early today (5AM!) to watch the first few episodes of the DC reruns. Lol, I’m insane. This I know.

So I was surfing the net while at work today (I am *so* productive!) and I found out that Good Charlotte/New Found Glory and Norah Jones are going to be playing in the area over the summer. Where the hell have I been?!? Why did I not know about this? Grrr. And of course, when I check to see if there are any tickets left, both shows are all sold out. Waaaahhh. I want to go! So. Bad.

Grrr. Argh.

I finally bought the Buffy season 3 DVDs. *happy sigh*

And I spent a good part of today watching the first 8 episodes. I had forgotten how much I love this season — Faith rocks, Xander/Cordy rock, Spike’s return in “Lover’s Walk” rocks, and the Mayor is quite possibly my most favorite Big Bad of the entire series.

help me, i can’t sleep!

Oh dear, it’s 5am and I haven’t gone to bed yet. I tried, I really did — but I couldn’t fall asleep. In my state of unemployment, my sleeping schedule has once again gone haywire. But my long night hasn’t been in vain cause I’ve been reading spoilers — and I happened upon some very exciting news for Dawson’s Creek (what? it’s still my favorite show!). I knew there was some reason why I’m still sticking around after all these years.

Buffy season 3 DVDs today! whee! Now if I only had a job so I could AFFORD them right now. Blah. Speaking of TV shows on DVD, Dawson’s Creek season 1 is coming out on DVD on April 1, which I’m really excited about. Season 1 was classic — the Pacey and Tamara storyline, spunky Joey, and the short-lived romance of Dawson and Jen. *sigh* Such great memories. I just hope they make it through all the seasons. I especially want seasons 3 and 4: the P/Jo years. 🙂

Hmm… can anyone tell me what people want to see in a “girl” or “about me” section of a site? I want to revamp mine but I can’t come up with anything remotely interesting. HELP me!

Now let’s see if I can actually fall asleep.

I went shopping today and came home with Darrin’s Dance Grooves. lol. It’s actually pretty fun — I am determined to learn the routine from Jordan Knight’s Give It To You and be able to perform it at the normal speed. Rob was doing the video with me too — hee! It’s so cute seeing him learn the dance moves. 😛

Seven on Sunday:

Seven Stores that Could Put You Into Bankruptcy:
1. Abercrombie and Fitch
2. Banana Republic
3. Crate and Barrel
4. Borders, Barnes & Noble
5. Tower Records
6. Best Buy
7. Bath and Body Works
I know there are more — I’m a shopping whore. 🙂

No more coke. No more sweets. No more junk food. I swear. Must exercise. I know I’ve been saying that — but now I have the motivation. I just tried on a cute skirt I bought about a year and a half ago and it barely fits! Grrr!

Anyway, I exercised my check card quite a bit earlier this evening — I went on a bit of a shopping spree. I bought 2 pairs of shoes at Nordstrom (hey, they were both on sale!), a belt at American Eagle and a cute tank at A&F. 🙂 I just got my paycheck today and it’s almost all gone, lol.

It’s been a looong time since I’ve answered The Friday Five — here goes:

Do you live in a house, an apartment or a condo? apartment
Do you rent or own? rent
Does anyone else live with you? yup, my boyfriend Rob and my cousin Warren — two boys! Guess who does most of the cleaning? 😉
How many times have you moved in your life? 4 times — I grew up in Southern CA and lived there until I moved away for college (I went to UC Berkeley in Northern CA). After enduring the dorms (and yucky co-ed bathrooms) for 2 years, I moved to an apartment close to campus with a couple of friends. Then after graduation, I subletted another apartment for a month while I was getting everything settled for my last move to the current apartment where I am now. Whew. I want to stay here for awhile (well, I have to cause I just signed a lease for a year a few months ago) cause last summer, I moved twice in the span of 2 months and it was a serious pain in the ass.
What are your plans for this weekend? Nothing really. Just want to clean the apartment, vacuum and maybe get Rob to watch Minority Report with me when he gets back home on Sunday (are you reading this? can we go please?)

Also: *Huge* thanks to Dirty Rob (:P) for sending The Black Hawk Down DVD! 🙂 You totally made my face light up — Ewan and Josh! You’re the best. Take care of yourself when you’re in Korea.
