Just wanted to do a meme.

another tv meme
I finally caught up with America’s Next Top Model. Is it just me or is the quality of the contestants in this cycle just not there? I mean, Furonda? And Gina (OMG, she upsets me so MUCH. She is so uncomfortable in her own skin)? And Jade? EEEK. Still, though, I haven’t laughed as hard as I did during the runway training and the judging. Hehehe. I’m pretty evil.
So I hear that Veronica Mars is moving back to Tuesdays at 9? It won’t have ANTM as a lead-in anymore… I hope that won’t cause the ratings to go south. I guess that’s a better slot, though, since it won’t be against Lost anymore. And I’ll be able to watch VM live now. I can always Tivo Supernatural.
Anyway, just wanted to do this fun TV meme stolen from Alie…
List your six favorite TV shows:
I’m doing current shows since I’m sure you all don’t want to hear about Dawson’s Creek anymore…
1. Everwood
2. Grey’s Anatomy
3. Veronica Mars
4. CSI
5. One Tree Hill
6. The OC
01. Who is your favorite character from #2?
Burke. He’s awesome. He’s a strong character but doesn’t come across as unlikable. And he has a really tender and romantic side, which makes me *swoon.*
02. Who is your least favorite character from #4?
That’s easy. Ecklie. I don’t even know his first name, that’s how much I like him. He’s a good antagonist but most of the time I wish he would leave the CSI’s alone!
03. What would a crossover between #1 and #5 include?
EEEK. Well, I hope that the Everwood folks would mellow out the OTH kids. At the very least a confrontation between Dan Scott and Dr. Abbott would be mighty interesting. Dr. Abbott could teach Dan a few things about parenting. Heh.
04. Who is your favorite ship from #6?
This changes a lot (hey, I’m fickle). But right now, I’d say Kirsten and Sandy. As much as I love Seth and Summer, I love Kirsten and Sandy both together and individually which sometimes I can’t say for the teens (*cough*Seth*cough*)
05. If you were to set one person from #3 and one person from #6 on a blind date, who would they be?
Weevil and Ryan? Hehe. They’d actually make an interesting duo since they both seem to have that hero complex when it comes to the women in their lives. I’d also like to see interaction between Taylor and Logan. I think they would be hilarious together. Taylor would boss him around and he would probably love it.
06. If you could meet one person from #4 and spend the day with them, who would it be, and what would you do?
WARRICK!!! It’s a little weird but I’d love to shadow him on an investigation. Just to see the procedures and the whole thought process.
7. If you could change one thing about #2’s plotline, what would you change?
I mentioned this in a previous entry, but I would kill off Denny. I think Izzie’s journey would be much more interesting. I mean, what kind of relationship could she have with him if he lives? It would all be off-screen because I just can’t seem him as a series regular or even a guest star. It doesn’t make sense. Plus, Izzie needs to learn to have some distance with her patients.
Explain a relationship between two people (not necessarily romantic) from show #5, and why you like the relationship between them.
I adore Nathan and Haley. I just love their entire romantic story. From their secret tutoring sessions… To their surprise kiss… And to their gorgeous (but completely unexpected) wedding on the beach. Even in season 2, when the writers messed with Haley and her character, they kept me watching the show.
9. If the lead title characters (first name in the credits) from #1 and #3 were both drowning, and you could only save one, who would it be?
Well… I guess I would have to agree with Alie, I would save Kristen Bell over Treat Williams. 🙁
10. If you could change the title characters’ order in the credits for #4, what order would you choose?
Erm, I can’t remember the credit sequence and I’m far too lazy to check my DVDs… I’m sure the credits are fine. I don’t remember ever thinking I wanted to change the order…
11. If you were able to add a new character, any kind of character you wanted, to the storyline for #6, what would the character be like and what would their role be?
The show is a revolving door as it is with all the new characters they have each season so I wouldn’t add anyone else right now. I actually would bring back Teresa. I want to see some resolution to that baby storyline!
12. What happens in your favorite episode of show #2?
Huh. I just sat here thinking about this for awhile and I don’t think I have a favorite episode for GA. There are lots of moments that I love, though… Burke giving Cristina a key, Izzie helping Alex study even after he slept with Nurse Olivia, Cristina and Izzie helping Meredith shower after the bomb explosion, Burke helping Izzie with Thanksgiving dinner… Lots of great stuff here.
13. If you could kill off one of the characters of #1, who would it be and how would you do it?
No one. I love all the Everwood folks THISMUCH. Sometimes I do have it out for Dr. Jake but during those times, I just want him to leave, not die. Besides, I hear that there’s already going to be a character death this season and I don’t want to think about that. 🙁
14. If you got the chance to visit the set for either show #3 or show #5, which would you choose?
Tough one. I’d probably choose the set of Veronica Mars just cause I’d love to hang out with Kristen Bell and Francis Capra. 😀 I came very close to choosing OTH but the rumor is that the set is ice cold in large part because of the animosity between Sophia Bush and Chad Michael Murray.
15. If you could date anyone from any of these shows, which show and which person?
Nathan Scott from One Tree Hill. YUMMY.
v-day list
So I know Valentine’s Day is over… but I can’t resist taking a page out of TV Gal’s book and making a list of my Top 10 Favorite Kisses (one per couple). Complete with pictures!
project runway
Didn’t watch the Super Bowl but I do want to say that I think Hines Ward is cuuuute.
So I found a new show this weekend… Project Runway! I only saw the last 4 episodes but I’m totally hooked. I can’t believe I managed to stay away this long. It’s about Fashion! And Clothes! Otherwise known as stuff I love! Right now my favorite designer is Daniel. From what I’ve seen, he would have an awesome runway show. I also really like Chloe. Her designs are simple and not really anything mind-blowing but there’s just something very relatable and wearable about them. They would translate really well to “real life.” The PR show is this coming Friday at Fashion Week. I can’t wait to see the designs for the Top 3! I blame this new obsession all on Rob (yes, my boyfriend!) and Nicola. THANKYOUVERYMUCH.
I am now caught up on One Tree Hill… am I the only one who cringes during scenes between Brooke and Lucas? And no, not because I don’t like the pairing… but because it seems so awkward to watch Sophia Bush and Chad Michael Murray in romantic situations. I know they’re professionals but they’re getting a divorce! That just seems harsh.
And because Alie said so… 😉

abc’s
I was going to do a mid-season TV commentary but I AM LAZY. SO. You all get another meme. YAY!

girly meme
Rob and I spent the past few days watching the 24: Season 4 DVDs that he got for Christmas. We watched all 24 episodes in about 3 days. 😛 I am so pumped for season 5 now. Yay Jack Bauer!
I don’t need a new laptop but if I did, I would totally get this SONY Vaio in raspberry red. Who says computers can’t be fashion statements?
And because I’m totally bored right now… a girly meme I stole from Nicola…
2006 resolutions
Hope everyone has a great New Year and a fabulous weekend! Rob and I have nothing planned so it looks like it’s going to be a quiet weekend at home. *happy*
2006 meme stolen from Christie.
FIVE RESOLUTIONS FOR 2006
1. My most important resolution is to SAVE MONEY. Especially since Rob told me today that I should start saving money for a wedding. OMG, he’s hinting… *hyperventilates* 😀
2. Go to the gym more often. I pay membership fees each month and sometimes I don’t even go. :/
3. Read more books. I completely failed at the 2005 Book Challenge. 🙁
4. Learn how to cook. I actually improved a *lot* this year and managed to make dinner a few times but I still have a long way to go.
5. Get my driver’s license. I SWEAR this is going to happen in 2006.
FIVE THINGS I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO IN 2006
1. Girls’ weekend out with my best friends. We’re tentatively looking at May. Very, very excited!
2. 2 weddings in July (my cousin’s and my friend Mike’s).
3. Possible trip to Australia with my Dad in August.
4. Possible trip to Hawaii with Rob in April. (We talked about this today, though, and it looks like it might not pan out. There’s still a possibility so I’m keeping my hopes up!)
5. Really shallow but the new season of 24. Jack Bauer and Tony Almeida!
FIVE TWO THINGS I’M NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO IN 2006
1. Moving. Yes, again. Rob and I recently found out that our apartment complex is slowly being turned into condos and our building is going to be one of them. We anticipate the notice to come in March/April. We’ll have to make a decision about staying in Northern CA or finally moving back to Southern CA.
2. If we move back to Southern CA, I am completely dreading looking for a new job. I’m so happy at my job and I’ve made really great friends there… change is so hard.
I really can’t think of anything else…

FIVE THINGS I’M GOING TO TRY TO CUT BACK ON IN 2006
1. STARBUCKS. I *must* stop drinking peppermint mochas. I wish I wasn’t so addicted to them in the mornings.
2. Fast food. I can’t help that I love McDonald’s sausage mcmuffin with egg.
3. Buying clothes because they’re on sale. I want to focus on building a wardrobe that’s classic. No more buying t-shirts that I can’t wear to work!
4. Eating out. This will help me save money.
5. Stress at work. I need to learn how to ask people for help when I need it.
FIVE THINGS I’M GOING TO TRY TO DO MORE OF IN 2006
1. Drink more water.
2. Eat more fruits and vegetables. (And no, Jamba Juice does not count).
3. Sleep. I have a really bad tendency to stay up late.
4. See the doctor(s) regularly. I have a bad habit of only making appointments when there’s something wrong. I need to get myself a primary care physician too.
5. Bring lunch to work so I don’t eat out.
EEEEKKK. I have a lot of work to do in 2006.

christmas wishlist
ARGH. I am SO SORRY if you tried to visit my site on Thursday and it was trying to make you download some evil trojan virus. I didn’t do it… I SWEAR! I think someone hacked into my blog archives and remotely tried to execute some code. I took the entire Movable Type installation down, re-installed it, and also had my host do a search for any other malicious files that might be lurking about… the site has been given the all clear. PHEW. Again, so sorry. 🙁
So… I need some help. I went shopping ALL DAY on Wednesday and did not find a single thing for my dad. He’s absolutely the hardest person to shop for EVER cause he doesn’t *need* anything and offers no help whatsoever. For every other holiday (birthday, Father’s Day), I usually get him some sort of clothing item. But that’s getting a little tired, you know? So… I’m wondering what all of you get your dads for the holidays? Any suggestions?
And I’ve been meaning to do this meme…
Christmas Wishlist
* Make a post to your blog. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related (“I’d love a Snape/Hermione icon that’s just for me”) to medium (“I wish for _____ on DVD”) to really big (“All I want for [insert seasonal celebration here] is a new car/computer/house/TV.”) The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
* If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it’s your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.
* Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your blog so that the holiday joy will spread.
* Surf around to see who has posted their list. And now here’s the important part:
* If you see a wish you can grant, and it’s in your heart to do so, make someone’s wish come true. Sometimes someone’s trash is another’s treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don’t want or a gift certificate you won’t use–or even know where you could get someone’s dream purebred Basset Hound for free–do it.
* You needn’t spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn’t to put people out, it’s to provide everyone a chance to be someone else’s holiday elf–to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not–it’s your call.
* There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just…wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you’ll have the joy of knowing you made someone’s holiday special.
1. Holiday cards!
2. A tutorial on how the heck to customize the layout for a Coppermine gallery. I just DON’T. GET. IT.
3. Wallpapers of my ‘ships (Pacey/Joey, Harry/Hermione, Ephram/Amy, Nathan/Haley, etc). I prefer 1600×1200 (that’s the optimal resolution for my laptop) but anything 1024×768 and higher works too.
4. Music recs. I listen to pretty much everything but country (sorry). Some favorite artists are NSync, Britney, The Postal Service, Kanye West, Jack Johnson, Death Cab…
5. On that note, an iTunes gift card/certificate.
6. Starbucks gift card.
7. Your favorite quotes from TV shows, movies, songs, people.
8. A Pacey/Joey mood theme. I know I don’t ever post on LJ but maybe I can figure out a way to use it here.
9. Anything from my Amazon wishlist.
10. Suprise me. 😀
Send me an email if you need my address. And if anyone has also posted a wishlist on their blog/LJ/mySpace, please let me know in the comments so I can be sure to take a look. 😉
christmas meme
Mmmm, Christmas meme! Stolen from Nicola…
1.What is your favorite Christmas carol/song?
Surprisingly, I don’t have a favorite Christmas carol. I just love holiday music in general. However, hearing Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker score *always* reminds me of this time of year.
2.White lights or multicolored?
White lights. When I was growing up, I liked multicolored lights better but now, they’re just too much. White lights are far more elegant.
3. Do you have a cut tree, live tree or an artificial tree?
Live tree. Bought from Home Depot.
4. Eggnog, mulled cider, or hot chocolate?
Hot chocolate, definitely. With a shot of peppermint. YUM. I also like cider but eggnog? ICK.
5. Do you decorate your house with lights?
I live in an apartment so… no. I wish I had a house to decorate. *sigh*
6. Do you write a Christmas letter?
Like to Santa? No. I’m old.
7. Do you like receiving Christmas letters/photos?
Of course! 😛 I enjoy receiving any kind of mail actually.
8. What is your favorite Christmas story/movie?
I really love How the Grinch Stole Christmas. A Christmas Carol is another good story.
9. Have you ever made a gingerbread house?
My mom and I used to make them together and we used to put them out on the Christmas buffet table. Haven’t made one in forever though.
10. Poinsettias or holly?
Poinsettias.
11. Do you display a nativity scene?
My family used to have a nativity scene that we would place on top of our piano during the holidays but it hasn’t been out of the box in years. (My dad is lazy when it comes to Christmas decorations — the horror!)
12. Do you bake Christmas cookies?
Yes! I always make sugar cookies to bring to work. Decorating them with frosting and sprinkles is the BEST.
13. Ham or turkey?
Ham. Especially when it’s honey glazed. *drools*
14. In what languages can you wish someone a Merry Christmas (without cheating)?
3. English, Spanish (Feliz Navidad), and Tagalog (Maligayang Pasko).
15. Do you know all the words to Jingle Bells?
Erm… no.
16. Do you put presents under the tree?
Of course I do.
17. How do you eat a candy cane?
What?
18. What is your biggest holidays pet peeve?
Crowded malls/shopping centers. Argh. People become INSANE during this time of year… pushing and grabbing toys from people’s hands… EEK.
19. What is your favorite Christmas tradition?
Just being with my family and EATING. 😀 Also, buying presents for others. I love receiving presents, don’t get me wrong, but making other people happy makes *me* happy.
20. What was the best present you ever got for Christmas?
When I was about 9 or 10, I got a huge Barbie dream house for Christmas from my aunt. I remember being completely ecstatic. Nothing since then has really come close.
Taking the day off tomorrow to do some Christmas shopping in San Francisco. YAY! 😀
