north shore

Ahhh, I’m feeling much better now… as I should after spending the past 4 days at home! Whee! I just love playing hooky from work and lying in bed watching my Sex and the City DVDs all day. Mmm.

So there was new TV tonight! I caught the premiere of the North Shore… and I guess it’ll do for my cheesy summertime drama (I’ve pretty much given up on Summerland — it was just *too* bad). The show reminds me a lot of NBC’s Las Vegas (Josh Duhamel, baby!) with the hotel/casino setting and the focus on the employees and guests. The storylines of the pilot were pretty bad (especially the Lamborghini situation, the celebrity visit and the Jason/Nicole love story) but… it was pretty! Hawaii looked breathtaking and the bartender, played by Jason Momoa of Baywatch: Hawaii fame (WHAT!), was definitely easy on the eyes. I’ll probably tune in solely for him. Heh.

I’ve also been watching Joan of Arcadia (Keenai, you would be proud :D)! I’ve seen 2.5 episodes (Recreation, half of State of Grace and Double Dutch) and so far I love what I’ve seen. Although… I really have absolutely no sense of the backstory (like what happened to Joan’s dad? and what’s going on between Joan and Adam?). Does anyone know if CBS is going to rerun the first few episodes again this summer or should I just break down and start downloading them?

Many, many thanks to my buddy Siobhan for the gorgeous card from Paris! 😀 I just got it today. Very exciting!

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…
