raise

I got a raise at work! YAY me!

It’s not much really (and I don’t even make that much to begin with) but whatever. I’m just happy that my boss recognizes and appreciates my work. Kinda cool. 🙂

I’m so glad that FOX moved Wonderfalls to Thursday nights. I’ll actually be able to watch it now. Fabulous. There is one problem though — it’s on at the same time as The Apprentice! Cripes. Speaking of which, YES! Kwame stays another week. He’s my favorite to win the competition. Next week looks like tons of fun with 2 people getting fired. Awesome.

Huh. I was just checking out my site stats and came across this Kelly Clarkson fansite. Does the layout look familiar? It’s because it’s mine! ! %$#@! The webmaster is even direct linking the background. 🙁 Ugh. I don’t know if I should be flattered or upset. My head just started to hurt. [edit 4/4: She took it down. Thank geebus.]

24 is back!

YES! 24 is back. *huggles 24*

Some potentially spoiler-y comments…

Too bad 24’s return is coupled with Michelle/Tony angst. 🙁 I love them so, so much (well, maybe I’m biased because it’s TONY) and I can’t stand to see them so sad. If TPTB kill off Michelle with that crazy virus, I will be a very unhappy camper. At least she’s letting her inner bitch out in the meantime. I was totally rooting for her to shoot the guy in the hotel — he was going to let the virus out! Silly civilian.

Still not caring about President Palmer’s storyline. What a big yawn-fest. DB Woodside is quite the looker though. Heh. 😉

As for the other FOX show that I watched tonight, thank goodness American Idol is only an hour now. No more fluff pieces! But horror of horrors, the guest judges are back. Blah. They always bore me and have nothing to say that any of the regular 3 haven’t said. Oh well. On a positive note, I think I’ve found my 2 favorites — George and Jasmine! They both totally “wowed” me tonight, yay! Too bad I don’t think either really have a chance to win since to me it seems like we’re headed for a LaToya versus Fantasia final two. Though I really, really hope not. Anyway.

Just because it was fun to do this last week…
My predictions for the bottom 3 are — Camile, John and Jon. With Camile packing her bags.

So my American Idol predictions were a *little* off. 2 out of 3 isn’t bad, right? 😉 I didn’t particularly enjoy Matt so I can’t say I’m sad he’s gone. I just hope that the contestants improve next week — I don’t think I can take any more subpar performances.

Anyway, I don’t know if I was just blinded because I missed the show but I totally enjoyed tonight’s episode of The O.C.. Not much depth but still a lot of fun. And it’s cool to see that the show has no qualms about making fun of itself. I loved all the references to The Valley, the Seth/Summer jealousy (aww, they’re so cute!) and all the Sandy/Jimmy restaurant stuff. The only thing that marred the episode for me was the return of Hailey. Blah.

Some of my favorite quotes…
Sandy: “You’re really not so good at managing the money, huh Coop?”

Kirsten: “I knew you didn’t go to the IMAX.”

Marissa: “Okay, you’re starting to sound like Seth.”
Ryan: “Yeah, he’s rubbing off on me.”

Ryan: “How does he play high school?”
Seth: “Its Hollywood, man.”

Paris Hilton: “Orange County? Ew!”
Summer: “She said Ew!”

Grady: “Why? I’m not in this scene.”

Seth: “I heard some really, really awful music and I knew it could only be self-indulgent actors with instruments.”

Seth: “Or you could be the Bitch.”
Summer: “All right, I’ll take the Boobs.”
Seth: “So will I.”

And my MOST favorite quote…
Summer: “He saved Middle Earth. It’s, like, the most important part of European history.” HEE!

I can’t decide if next week’s episode looks good or bad. Huh.

AI… again

Why does FOX insist on having a 2-hour episode of American Idol?!? 2 hours is waaaay too long. I think they could easily have had 11 performances in 1 hour. Instead, they decide to fill it up with useless fluff commercials and that horrific video of Paula and Simon (my eyes! they are on fire!).

My predictions for this week’s bottom 3: Jennifer, Matt and Camile. With Jennifer packing her bags.

Also, Josh Gracin is releasing an album?!? WHY?!?

So I finally watched the pilot episode of Wonderfalls and huh, I actually kinda liked it. Caroline Dhavernas managed to carry what would otherwise be an incredibly lame and corny plot. She was great at playing sarcastic, funny and quirky. Plus! The Sheriff from Roswell plays Jaye’s dad. Hee, I love it when all my shows merge together. I just finished downloading the second episode — let’s hope it doesn’t disappoint! I just wish it didn’t air on Friday nights. Horrible, horrible time slot.

Gawd, the timestamp on my blog entries are totally wrong (points to Amanda and Alie for noticing!). It’s 3 hours ahead. I just tried changing it to PST so I’m crossing my fingers that it’ll work.

Oh, and for any real life friends that are reading — Ricardo proposed to Leah this past weekend! Aww. Yay for them. 🙂

Weekends are too damn short.

On a positive note, I got my Alias s2 DVDs!!! Gawd, they’re so nice and shiny. LOVE them. I’m supposed to be sleeping but what the heck, I’m going to pop them in the DVD player and watch a couple of episodes. 😀

So I finally tuned in to American Idol tonight to catch the top 12 performances… and I felt totally and completely underwhelmed. I think the judges are right in saying this is probably the most talented group from all 3 seasons but none of the contestants really captured my attention tonight. I mean, in the first season, when Kelly Clarkson sang Natural Woman, I seriously fell in love! No one this season so far.

Another thing I noticed that in this top 12, everyone fits into some type of category — the R&B/diva singers (LaToya, Jennifer, Fantasia), the pop stars (Diana, Jasmine, Camile, Leah), and then the rest. It totally seems like the judges want to manipulate the audience into voting for a certain “type” of performer.

I do think it’s cool that 2 filipinos made it into the top 12 though. Represent! (Note: I do not talk like this in real life.) 😀

confirmed! dc s3!

I was having a pretty crappy day (for no particular reason really) and then 2 things happened that made me squee with delight:

1. Official confirmation on Dawson’s Creek Season 3 on DVD! OMGOMGOMG! Can you imagine? All the greatest Pacey/Joey moments (True Love, The Anti-Prom, The Longest Day, etc.) immortalized on DVD?!? So. Excited.

2. Finally, after sitting through a less than stellar season 3, Alias hits me with an awesome episode. I was seriously sitting on the edge of my seat for the entire episode. Loved Ricky Gervais (which reminds me that I need to finish watching The Office DVD), loved Vaughn (in glasses *dies*), loved Sark (in handcuffs!), loved Weiss (“method acting!”), loved Jack (“get the defibrillator!”). Basically loved all the men. Hee.

Speaking of men, let me do this great meme (stolen from Linda)…

10 TV Characters You’d Most Like to Have Sex With (HEE!)
1. Pacey, Dawson’s Creek — He’s sweet, romantic and has the ability to make a woman feel like the center of the universe. *sighs*
2. Colin, Everwood — The popular athlete who’s a cutie to boot.
3. Clark, Smallville — Cause who doesn’t love a good boy?
4. Vaughn, Alias — Spies are sexy. Especially spies who can speak French and rock a pair of eyeglasses like nobody’s business.
5. Tony, 24 — The guy gets shot and is back at work about an hour later. That kind of energy and stamina could be good in bed. BWAH!
6. Nathan, One Tree Hill — Equal parts arrogance and sweetness. Perfect.
7. Danny, Las Vegas — He just has the most mesmerizing smile. *melts*
8. Spike, Buffy the Vampire Slayer — That long, dark coat of his never fails to make me swoon.
9. Max, Roswell — So broody and shy with a dark, soulful quality to him.
10. Sark, Alias — He makes evil seem cool.

Guh. I had something else to blog about but after thinking about cute boys for the past few minutes, my brain has turned into a pile of mush. Hee. 😀

Being short is evil. All I want to do is buy some capri pants for spring/summer and they’re all too long! They reach that point right below my ankles where they just look so silly. I really really hate having pants hemmed all the time. Gah.

I missed the premiere of Wonderfalls last Friday. Seriously, Fridays are such bad TV days for me! I’m currently downloading it now (hehe) and I’m crossing my fingers that it’s worth it. Cause you know, I need another TV show to watch, hehe.

Saw Starsky and Hutch on Friday — SO funny! Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson are such a great comedic team. I was laughing practically throughout the entire movie. Two thumbs up! 😀

Friday Five…

1. What was the last song you heard?
Maroons 5’s This Love (like this song but I *always* hear it on the radio, MTV)

2. What were the last two movies you saw?
Starsky and Hutch (omg, hilarious!) and Cheaper By the Dozen (Tom Welling *swoon*)

3. What were the last three things you purchased?
fun dangly earrings from Express, eyeshadow from MAC, and a Pepsi from the convenience store near my apartment

4. What four things do you need to do this weekend?
laundry (blah), take clothing donations to Goodwill, scan Britney tourbook, update sites

5. Who are the last five people you talked to?
Rob (boyfriend), Jimmy (roommate)… and I guess 3 random cashiers at the mall? Hee.

Yay Ben Affleck and N.E.R.D. on SNL! 🙂
