OTP meme

Posted on by

I started getting ready for the trip to Hawaii (squee!) this weekend… bought flip flops, beach towels, sunscreen, shorts (ugh, I don’t typically wear shorts but they’re a necessary evil), and of course, a swimsuit. Trying on swimsuits was… NOT FUN. I don’t really have body image issues but… blech. I’d rather not have to try on bathing suits again. Ever again. *shudders*

So… I finally managed to finish up sour-lemon.org. Does anyone even remember that I bought that domain months back? lol. Anyway, I basically moved all my wallpapers and scans and combined them into one big multimedia site since I was getting tired of maintaining separate sites. There’s nothing new… yet. But there *is* a new layout! Please visit!

And some memes since I was tagged by Alie…

My vacation to Hawaii is set. Got the days off, booked the flights and hotel… now I just need to have the patience to wait until July 7. SQUEE!!! I’m so excited. Rob and I are attending our high school friends’ wedding in Honolulu on the 9th (he’s actually a groomsman) but we figured we may as well stick around a few extra days and enjoy the island. I am so ready for this vacation. The hotel we’re staying at even has a spa… I’m totally going to treat myself to a massage and facial.

Mmmm.

Now for some memes cause I was tagged by Amanda and Alie…

rent trailer!

Thanks to Sarah’s head’s up, I found and downloaded the Rent trailer. All I have to say is…

SQUEE. It is seriously AMAZING. There’s no dialogue (just clips pieced together with Seasons of Love playing over it) but it’s one powerful trailer… *sigh* I cannot wait til November. But for now, watching the trailer over and over and over will suffice. 😛

Quick meme…
1. Current fandoms: Everwood and Dawson’s Creek (yes, still). I consider myself a part of many other fandoms but I find it hard to really get involved. Fandoms can be SCARY.
2. My first fandom ever: Dawson’s Creek
3. My most recent fandoms: Grey’s Anatomy, Lost
4. 5 Fandoms that mean a lot to me: Dawson’s Creek, Everwood, Felicity, Roswell, and BtVS

I may get a chance to add Veronica Mars to the list of my many fandoms — apparently UPN really is rerunning season 1 starting June 14. I’m gonna see if the show actually lives up to the hype. Then I won’t feel so out of the loop anymore, lol.

Lastly, just wanted to share that Jennifer put up a new layout at High Anxiety and I’ve finally installed a new gallery… hope you all like the new look!

tom and katie

Posted on by

I’m back from Michigan. *sigh* Vacation’s are never long enough…

I’m still reeling over the fact that Constantine was eliminated from American Idol over Scott. SCOTT. I’m blaming it all on Vote for the Worst. ARGH.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are dating?!? Pictures here, here and video here. Huh. Who woulda thunk it?

WHY are there like 50 commercial breaks during Grey’s Anatomy? Very annoying.

Doing the Fannish Friday Five —

What 5 media (books/movies/tv show) universes would you want to visit if they were real?
1. Harry Potter
2. 24
3. Dawson’s Creek
4. Star Wars (I want R2D2 to be my droid!)
5. Anne of Green Gables

moving, music and more

Posted on by

So the moving has started. Words cannot express how much I despise packing, moving and then unpacking. Ack. Plus, I’m a huge packrat so I have TONS of stuff to sort through. I’m hoping to get rid of most of the “junk” I’ve accumulated so that I end up tossing most of it rather than schlepping it to my new place. I’m just glad we have another 5 weeks before we officially have to be out of our current apartment. I can take my time and not get all stressed out. I get enough stress from work, thankyouverymuch.

More TV comments…
24
President Logan sucks. Chloe is a badass. Also, Jack and Audrey are SO. OVER.

America’s Next Top Model
Did anyone see Tyra go off on Tiffany a few episodes back?!? That was classic. I heart this show. Too bad I don’t really care for any of the girls. I can’t stand Brittany and Tatiana… I like Rebecca and Kahlen well enough… but there’s no one I LOVE. I guess I’m just watching for the drama. And the show definitely delivers.

Smallville
Finally watched Onyx, which I really, really enjoyed (maybe because it was Lex-centric?). I actually sat through the entire episode without getting distracted or fast-forwarding through scenes. It’s been awhile since I’ve been able to say that about Smallville. Plus, Lex/Lana!!! Squee. I haven’t watched Spirit yet so don’t go bursting my bubble. I bet the storyline will drift back to Clark/Lana soon enough so let me live in my dream world for awhile.

Grey’s Anatomy
Yup, still watching (and loving) the show. And especially after last night’s episode. Christina/Burke flirtation! I seriously thought I was just imagining the sexual tension between them in last week’s scene in the stairwell. But I wasn’t! YAY. And it looks like the storyline continues next week. Score.

Doing the Friday Five (yes, I realize it’s late :P)…

1. What is the first record/tape/CD that you bought?
I don’t remember for certain but it was probably an album by either Tiffany or Debbie Gibson. And it was definitely a tape.
2. Who is your favorite all time band/singer?
Britney Spears. No laughing. I just love her. She’s a marketing genius. I just wish she hadn’t married that Kevin Federline character. I mourn old Britney.
3. What have you been listening to lately?
The Postal Service. I’m ADDICTED to Such Great Heights, Sleeping In and Recycled Air.
4. What is your favorite radio station, what do they play, and where do they broadcast?
I don’t listen to the radio anymore. My iPod has spoiled me.
5. Can you recommend a good song or CD that everyone should listen to?
My current “songs of the moment” are — Such Great Heights by The Postal Service, Collide by Howie Day and Signs by Snoop Dogg.

anniversary

Rob and I celebrated our 6 year anniversary this past week. Aww. 😀

Some memes…

Fannish Friday Five —

So you’re cleaning all the pollen off your TV screen and a genie pops out. In return for freeing her, she offers to grant you 5 changes to any TV show(s) you wish. With only 5 wishes, what do you wish for?
1. Dawson’s Creek back on the air!
2. Go back in time and erase the entire Madison storyline on Everwood.
3. Get rid of Anna, Felix and Chris on One Tree Hill.
4. For America to stop voting for Scott and Anthony on American Idol.
5. Move Veronica Mars to Mondays at 8 so I can actually watch it. (That seems to be the only timeslot where I can accommodate a new show, hee).

Sunday Brunch —

1. Do you eat breakfast on a regular basis and why or why not?
No. I’m just not a morning person so I don’t get up early enough to have a real meal. If I do find myself with time, then I’ll have a bowl of special K with red berries.
2. What is your typical everyday breakfast?
Coffee or Earl Grey tea from Starbuck’s
3. How do you eat your eggs?
I love omelettes, especially with ham and cheese. YUM. But really, I’ll eat eggs any way…scrambled, sunny-side up, etc.
4. What is your favorite restaurant to eat breakfast out at?
I’m embarassed to admit this but — McDonald’s. I LOVE the Sausage McMuffin, pancakes, hash brown, McGriddles… pretty much everything on their breakfast menu. I wish they served breakfast all day.
5. Describe your perfect breakfast in detail.
See above. 😛

Picked up the Closer DVD. I think I’m in love with Natalie Portman and Clive Owen.

book meme

Posted on by

Rob and I just put a hold on a new apartment! YAY. 🙂 We’ll still be living in the same complex but in a different building. I’m so excited to be getting a fresh start though I’m not really looking forward to the packing… or the actual moving. EEK.

The Friday Five

1. What is the one book that you reread over and over again?
Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery. My favorite book. I never tire of reading it.
2. What is your favorite genre?
I don’t think I necessarily have a favorite but I am drawn to chick-lit as well as suspense/action books.
3. Do you usually buy your books or visit the library?
I usually buy books. I love having a collection that I can reread over and over again.
4. Who is your favorite author?
I don’t know that I have one, really.
5. What book have you read that you absolutely hated?
Beloved by Toni Morrison. I had to read it in college and it took me forever. I had to force myself to finish it. I suppose I just didn’t “get” it.

Hope everyone has a great week!

america hates me

Posted on by

Spoilery entry for AI, Lost…

I think America hates me. There is just no other reason to explain tonight’s results episode of American Idol. ARGH. WHO is STILL voting for Anthony?!? I still can’t believe he was safe. It’s like Jasmine from last season all over again.

Lost was so upsetting. I like Boone! *sob* They couldn’t have killed off Hurley? Or maybe Charlie? I can’t even think about it right now because it means that I no longer get to see Ian Somerhalder on TV every week. *lights a candle for Boone* Oh, and this episode reminded me that I should probably find out what blood type I am. You know, just in case.

Anyway, quick meme stolen from Nicola —

Name 4 books on your bookshelf:
1. The Secret Life of Bees – Sue Monk Kidd (which I finally finished and will comment on soon)

1. Anne of Green Gables/Avonlea

Name 4 things on your walls:
1. Finding Nemo calendar
2. dried roses that Rob gave me
3. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets movie poster
4. LA Lakers banner

Name 4 things in your closet/wardrobe:
I’m boring and only have clothes, shoes, and purses in there… nothing exciting

TV ships meme

Posted on by

Hopping on the bandwagon…

1. Post a list of 10 TV shows you watch/ed (current or cancelled).
2. Have your friends list guess your favorite pairing from each show.
3. When guessed, bold the line & write a sentence about why you like that pairing.
4. Post in your own livejournal blog.

This should be pretty easy, right? Note that I only picked 1 pairing per show…

1. Dawson’s Creek – Pacey/Joey (guessed by Jessica, Robyn, and Nicola)
My ALL-TIME favorite ship. It’s the sweetness and the sarcasm. I just love how their rough edges break down when they’re together.

2. Everwood – Ephram/Amy (guessed by Jessica and Nicola)
Colin/Amy were my original ship on this show but Ephram/Amy were the ones who stayed with me.

3. American Dreams – Sam/Meg
4. 24 – Tony/Michelle (guessed by Jessica, Robyn, and Nicola)
He committed treason for her! That’s love, people!

5. One Tree Hill – Nathan/Haley (guessed by Jessica
I’m not completely loving them right now (stupid Haley!) but I do love their story. How he only went after her to make Lucas angry and ended up falling in love… Aww.

6. The O.C. – Seth/Summer (guessed by Robyn and Nicola)
I don’t know if it’s the prettiness or the playful banter, but they always make me smile.

7. Alias – Syd/Vaughn (guessed by Jessica and Robyn)
I know they’ve kinda fizzled out in the last season or so but… they’re so pretty! And they have such an easy chemistry with each other.

8. Smallville – Lex/Lana (guessed by Robyn)
They have so much potential! And they have far more in common than initially meets the eye. (Or maybe I’ve just read too many of Christie’s fics. Hee).

9. Felicity – Felicity/Noel

10. Friends – Chandler/Monica (guessed by Robyn)
Chandler and his dry wit. Monica and her neuroses. Fantastic.

Guess away! Yay, thanks for guessing! 🙂
