new iPod!!!

I GOT MY NEW IPOD.

!!!!!

OMG, I’m in LOVE. It’s so pretty. And shiny. And the screen is wider. And in COLOR. And it plays videos. And I finally have a click wheel (my previous iPod was old school and had the 4 buttons at the top).

It’s pretty sad how happy I am because of a new toy. I tried to take pictures of it to show it off (hehe) but let’s just say I’m a completely lousy photographer.

*hugs iPod*

Anyway, take a look at Rob’s website. That’s me! 😛

rob’s 27th bday

Rob’s 27th birthday is tomorrow (8/13) but we had his big bash last night at Cafe Mum’s in Japantown. Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate with us! It was so much fun!

Anyway, it’s Friday and I’m tired so I’m going to do the OTP meme that’s floating around…

Number #1 OTP that is truly THE ONE TRUE PAIRING (withstanding the test of time and fandom whoring): Pacey and Joey, Dawson’s Creek. (Like there was any doubt?) It’s the banter and the wit, the sweetness and the sarcasm…
Your OTP Today: Ephram and Amy, Everwood. Ephram really disappointed me this past season but they have such a real and engaging chemistry, I can’t help but root for these two crazy kids.
Baby’s First OTP: My first real OTP obsession was Pacey and Joey… where I actually saved pictures I could find, rewatched episodes over and over, searched for fanfic, etc. However, before I got into “fandom,” my original OTP was Robin and Stone from General Hospital. Their love story still absolutely kills me.
That Rare Pairing That You Love: Colin and Amy, Everwood (a beautiful and tragic first love story). Dawson and Jen, Dawson’s Creek and Lucas and Peyton, One Tree Hill (untapped potential).
OTP That You’d Go to Bat For in Wank Situation: I don’t really care to get involved in fandom wank… but I suppose I’d argue for any of my couples.
Number #1 Anti-OTP, the Pairing You Hate with a Fiery Passion: Ephram and Madison, Everwood. I don’t even like thinking about them… if anything has disappointed me about the show, it’s the way this relationship reared its ugly head at the end of season 2 and the way it continued to cast a cloud over season 3.
Character You Pair Off With Almost Anyone: Veronica, Veronica Mars.

This is for rapid fire first OTP that comes to your head for each fandom, don’t cheat!

*Felicity – Felicity/Noel

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.

happy birthday rob!

It’s Rob’s birthday today! Happy 24th to him! 🙂 We went to a sushi restaurant called The Drunken Fish — so good! My favorite item is this spicy deep fried tuna roll. Yuuuumm. Random: if you look up drunken fish + oakland, a previous blog entry of mine comes up. hee! Search engines fascinate me.

Hehe, I actually voted after watching American Idol tonight — for Kelly, of course! Her voice is just amazing. And she’s such a cutie pie. 🙂

I can’t believe I’m leaving for Hawaii so soon! I haven’t started packing or cleaning my room yet — so much to do, so little time. Grr argh!

scorching over here

Ugh, it’s so disgustingly HOT over here. My apartment is all stuffy and the air just *sits* — there’s no wind whatsoever. Bah. Go away stupid sun!

Anyway, Rob’s back! Yay for me. 😛 I know I must sound like ever the codependent girlfriend but I really miss him when he’s not around. Awww. 😉

episode II ROCKS

Grr — I hate my stupid old computer. I wrote this really really long blog entry and of course, just as I as about to post it, my computer freaks out and erases the entire thing. I hate this thing with a passion.

So I got to see Episode II (the midnight showing) and I thought it was great fun! It was much better than Episode I but I liked that one as well. 😛 I loved the lightsaber duel between Yoda/Dooku, Mace Windu’s dialogue (I don’t think so!), the R2D2/C3PO banter, and of course, all the Obi-Wan action — especially the one where he’s having a drink at the Coruscant bar and then — bam! He’s doing some major ass-kicking. Surprisingly, I wasn’t too taken with the Ani/Ami romance, although I thought I would be. I’m normally a total sucker when it comes to romances. I just didn’t get *why* she started to love him — I didn’t really see a development or natural progression to their story but that’s just me. Natalie and Hayden were great though and I did enjoy their picnic scenes.

Rob (my boyfriend) has developed a SW obsession — he bought the action figures for Mace Windu, Jango Fett, and Padme. AND he ordered Yoda, R2D2, Anakin with the duel lightsaber, and another Mace from Amazon. lol. He even bought me the Obi-Wan toy cause he knows how much I love him. ::giggly smile::

Gah. I have to be at work tomorrow at 5:30 am! AM! It’s terribly insane to be up that early on a Sunday morning, I know. I’m going to be working at this huge event in San Francisco called Bay to Breakers. It’s the world’s largest footrace (or so they say) and it starts at the edge of the San Francisco Bay, crosses the city and ends at the breakers of the Pacific Ocean. I think I’m going to be helping out with registration and check-in for the runners and participants. Should be lots of fun, but tiring as well.

my amazing Saturday

So I had a *really* great day yesterday — Rob and I didn’t do anything out of the ordinary but we had a lot of fun just being together. We went to San Francisco — god, I looove the city — I know I see it every day when I go to work but there’s just something about it. Looking up at the huge buildings and looking towards the bay — ::sigh:: — it’s just so beautiful. I am so thankful that my college decision led me to such an amazing place. Anyway (whoops – going off on a tangent), we were just walking around downtown, going to various stores (I finally got a new pair of sunglasses – whee!), and we ended the day by watching Changing Lanes at the Sony Metreon (a huge entertainment center/movie theatre). What a great day. 🙂

Just finished watching Alias – Peter Berg (he plays Noah) is so annoying. I can’t stand his voice and the way his mouth moves when he talks. Gah. But wow, the episode was brilliant. I had no idea that Noah would be the Snowman. Poor Syd. Yet another guy she loved died. ::sob:: I loved all the scenes with Jack — Victor Garber rocks. He just exudes such emotion — when he was watching the video of his wife and he heard her say that he was a fool. Man, that’s harsh. Can’t wait for next week.

me giddy – whee!

Whee! My boyfriend and I are celebrating our 3 year anniversary today. 😀 We don’t have any big plans or anything, we’re probably just going to go out for dinner. We just decided to save up money for a trip to Hawaii so I think that’ll be the way we celebrate our big milestone. I’m just so happy right now. ::giddy:: We’ve been through a lot together — starting off as friends helping each other through the craziness of college to now — very much in love! ::sigh:: Sorry for the total sappiness — hee.

Hmmm… I hope everyone is happy that I held it together last night and didn’t go crazy posting my comments on the latest episode of Dawson’s Creek. 😛 I guess I was just expecting the worst so it really wasn’t too bad. Besides, I really enjoy the episodes where we get to see all the characters — even Grams! I love Jen more and more every week (she’s my favorite character, definitely. she just rocks) — her reaction to Grams’s new boyfriend was so hilarious. “Young lady, do you have a boyfriend?” Hee, too funny. I also enjoyed the scene between Dawson and Jen — while I had high hopes for a relationship between them, I’m really glad we didn’t lose these two as friends. I’m still annoyed by Joey and Charlie and Pacey and Audrey but I’m in too good of a mood to elaborate. So whatever. What a great way to lead up to the momentous 100th episode where apparently, nothing new and exciting will happen. Unless you count Dawson proclaiming his love for Joey (for what now? the millionth time?) as new and different. I’m sorry, just blame it on my P/Jo love.

And I’m hearing that Roswell has officially been cancelled. I can’t say I’m really sad about it cause let’s face it, the show hasn’t been too great lately (example: I Married an Alien) but I *will* miss seeing the actors and their characters. I guess I’m just a big old sap like that. 😉
