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.

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!

So I think I’m going to be moving back to southern CA by mid-2005. Rob wants to move back and all I know is that I don’t really want to stay here by myself.

I’m not sure how I feel about this yet. I know it’s still many many months away but I can’t stop thinking about it. I’ll have to pack all my stuff, find a new job, find a new place to live, learn how to drive ($#@!)… *sigh* Not to mention the fact that I’m going to miss the Bay Area something fierce. I’ve lived here 7 years now and I feel like this is the place where I did most of my “growing up.” On the other hand, I’ll be much closer to my family and friends. That’s one for the pro column.

Must. Stop. Obsessing.

Anyway, I caught the premiere of Hawaii on NBC tonight. Another gorgeous looking show (I’m a sucker for shows set in Hawaii) with very pretty people. Too bad those were its only good qualities. Is it sad that I hope the show doesn’t do well so Sharif Atkins can go back to ER and Gallant and Neela can have their chance at a relationship? Hee.

I’m so excited that the fall TV season has started… where in the world is my EW Fall TV Preview? I love that issue. It better come this Friday. Don’t they realize I have to get my TV viewing schedule all straightened out?! (Can you tell I have my priorities straight?) I can’t wait for all my shows to premiere! Squee!

By the way — does anyone know how to block Google from displaying my images? My bandwidth has spiked ever since one of my OC wallpapers has been picked up by Google Images. I already have .htaccess uploaded… Help, please! 🙂
