golden globes

So the Golden Globes…

First of all, why did E! hire Nicky Hilton?!? I watched her interview Julian McMahon and seriously, she was awful. She didn’t know he was Australian and she had no idea what Nip/Tuck was about. !!! Good grief. Do your research! Gah.

I wasn’t paying full attention during the actual ceremony but there are a couple of things I noticed…

Jennifer Lopez looked way too peach.

I usually love Nicole Kidman but there was something very strange about the netting on her dress. I was glad Tom Cruise didn’t win best actor — just to save her from all the talk that it would inevitably cause.

All the people who won for The Office were SO funny. I must find out when it airs.

I had no idea that Bend It Like Beckham was nominated in the Best Movie (Comedy) category. Whee. I just saw the movie this weekend and I totally fell in love. Must buy the DVD. Plus, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers is hot. Yup.

Jennifer Garner is gorgeous. And I’m jealous.

Yay for Peter Jackson and all the Lord of the Rings awards!

Yay for 24!

Leonardo DiCaprio has just found himself on my hottie list once again. The boy disappears for awhile and I forget all about him. Then he has to go and present an award and I start drooling. Help me.

*squee* I am in TV heaven. 😀

SPOILERS for the new eps of Everwood and One Tree Hill follow…

So let’s see… new Everwood last night. Still not feeling Ephram/Madison or Andy/Linda (where in the world is Nina?) — but whatever, my favorite show is back! I’m enjoying Amy’s storyline though I feel totally conflicted about it. On one hand, I feel like the Abbotts are putting too many expectations on Amy without acknowledging her larger issues but then again, I also feel like Amy is taking advantage of the situation by acting out. Gah. I love that this show isn’t afraid to put all the characters through the emotional ringer. I also loved Bright though he didn’t really get the chance to say anything. His facial expressions were enough. *sigh* He needs a hug. Quote of the episode: “Having done what we just did, did we commit spermicide?” — Dr. Brown

And the new One Tree Hill (I watch entirely too many WB shows) tonight was awesome too! Or maybe it’s because I missed the show so much that anything would be good. 😉 I’ve actually come full circle on Lucas — I thought his character was a total snoozefest but I think I like him now that he’s with Brooke. She brings out the playful side in him. He was much too serious before. But seriously, Brooke has GOT to be the most oblivious person ever. How could she not know that Peyton was upset about Lucas?! Nathan and Haley were too cute — Ilovethemohsomuch. They didn’t do much but they were happy. And cute. And that’s how I like ’em. And the biggest surprise — OMG! JAKE! CAN SING! Wow. Total Jake fangirl now.

Fun tidbit for any Real World: San Diego fans out there — I worked with Jamie at Abercrombie (in downtown San Francisco) for a little while. It was a few years ago when I was still in college and I think she was a senior in high school. I don’t think we had many shifts together and I don’t recall ever actually talking to her (hey! There were over 100 employees!)… But I think it’s cool that I can say “I worked with that girl” while watching the show. 😀

Is it sad that I’m excited to see Newlyweds tomorrow? Yeah, I thought so. Heh.

I’m so excited for this upcoming week — new Everwood and One Tree Hill!!! It’s been, what? Like two whole months since we had a new episode for these shows? Crazy. The WB should be glad I’m an obsessive fan and I check the TV guide every single day to make sure I don’t miss the new episodes. *g*

Huh. I still have to take down my Christmas tree. OMG. I can be so lazy. Will definitely do that today along with a million other things…

DC season 3 on DVD

Dawson’s Creek season 3 has been confirmed for DVD release! 😀

!!!

Now, if you know me at all, you’ll realize this is HUGE! Big news, people. Season 3 is my favorite season. *sigh* Thank you thank you thank you to Mandy for sharing the news! You’rethebestestever!

I think I may have found my new must-watch reality show. It’s a show called Airline (this season they’re featuring Southwest) on A&E. OMG. It’s fabulous. Passengers are throwing fits! Passengers are getting drunk and disorderly on the plane! The poor flight crew and airport personnel have to deal with the crazies! Good TV. 😀 Tonight’s episode featured a man at LAX who got angry because the security personnel wanted to search his shotgun. He even had the nerve to say “Do I look like an Arab?” Ugh. HELLO!!! You’re checking in a shotgun!!! Of course it’s going to be searched! THEN there was a woman in Chicago who was trying to fly home to San Diego. She got to the airport just a few minutes before her flight was supposed to leave but she still had to check-in and go through all the security lines. Of course, she missed her flight. And then, she had the nerve to get mad and yell at everyone in sight. Whatever. Get to the airport on time! When I book a ticket, I am ALWAYS told to arrive at the airport at least 2 hours ahead because of security. It’s like common knowledge, especially after 9/11.

Hee, it’s so much fun to get so riled up about a show. Good stuff.

gallery is evil

Posted on by

OMG. I seriously want to kill Gallery. My boyfriend is trying to help me reinstall it for High Anxiety and let me tell you, it is A ROYAL PAIN IN THE ASS. The stupid thing won’t work correctly. I’m *so* close to chucking it out and trying to find some other photo image gallery. Does anyone have any suggestions? I’ve heard of 4 images and Adobe Web Gallery — does anyone know anything about them? Like if they can easily be installed? I need something pretty much fool-proof or I’m liable to bash my head on the wall in frustration. 😛

There was a bright side to this weekend though —
Michelle Kwan won her 8th national title!!!!!!!!!

🙂

I’m so happy for her. She’s my all-time favorite figure skater and she was positively amazing in her long program. She landed all her jumps flawlessly and her artistry was, as usual, top-notch. I always get tears in my eyes when I watch her skate a perfect program. Silly, I know. I really really really hope to see her take on the Olympics in 2006 and finally win that gold medal.

I finally enjoyed an episode of Friends in who knows how long… Joey was SO funny. Joey doesn’t share food! BWAH. And Ross’s pink shirt! I was dying. That shirt was awful. And can I LOVE Chandler anymore?!? He was so sweet when he was talking about wanting the baby. Awww. Chandler rocks. I didn’t think I really would be so sad about this being the last season but now with all the promos… 🙁

You know, I seem to be the only person who doesn’t watch Joan of Arcadia. Humph. Every time I read people’s blogs, they seem to be gushing over the latest episode. I feel so left out. But seriously, Fridays are not good! I don’t watch TV on Fridays. It’s a… thing. Or something. Guess I’ll have to attempt the download route if I want to be one of the cool kids. 😀

Ooohhh… yay for new Smallville this week! If you’ve seen the promos (or read spoilers), then you know that there’s going to be a guest star and I cannot wait! Hee. [edit] If you want to know who…

iPod mini

Look how cute!

I have just fallen in love with the iPod Mini. *sigh* Too bad I already have an iPod that I just bought about 6 months ago. It’s just TOO cute though — it’s so small and it comes in COLORS. I want the silver… or the pink… or the baby blue. They’re all so yummy. But *MY* iPod has 11 more GB. Humph. So there.

The O.C. was fun tonight. I think I have officially fallen in love with Luke. He was so cute — playing the guitar, singing, playing videogames, talking so loud. Hee. So adorable… just like the whole Seth/Anna/Summer thing. Hee. I normally don’t like love triangles (see: Dawson’s Creek) but this one is kinda fun. And I just love how Summer sat right between Seth and Anna at the Cohens’ house. She still loves Seth! As for the Marissa/Ryan relationship — I’m not really feeling it anymore. It seems like their story is being bogged down with all the Oliver stuff. Yawn.

dc s2 DVDs

Posted on by

I know I’ve been blogging about Dawson’s Creek lately… and I swear I’m trying to come up with more varied topics to write about… but since the season 2 DVDs come out tomorrow, I have DC on the brain. 😛 So I was really looking forward to getting my DVDs but once I saw exactly how many songs were replaced, my anticipation went down to almost nothing. 🙁 I mean, I knew that the financial costs of all the songs precluded many of them from being on the DVD but WOW… they had to replace some key songs.

A few of my favorites that are gone…
— Kiss the Rain by Billie Myers — from the Dawson/Joey makeup scene in Crossroads
— Save Tonight by Save Ferris — from the Dawson/Pacey scene at the end of Crossroads
— Nobody But Me by Save Ferris — from the end of The All-Nighter when the Creekers jump into the pool (LOVE this scene! I’m so sad this song didn’t make the cut.)
— You Get What You Give by The New Radicals — from the Dawson/Joey walking in the rain scene at the end of Sex, She Wrote
— Paper Cup by Heather Nova — from the Pacey/Andie goodbye scene in Ch…Ch…Changes

That doesn’t even scratch the surface! Humph. They better not mess with season 3, that’s all I have to say. Ok. Rant over.

I guess I can console myself with all the pretty screencaps that I can make…

Anyway. No more DC talk. At least for the rest of this blog. Hehe.

Oh! I got my Return of the King tickets!!! Very exciting. Rob and I are going at 11:15 on Wednesday night. Hee. I’m going to get like 3 hours of sleep before work the next day. Nice.

Eeee!!! I *so* loved tonight’s episode of The O.C.. Most likely because I’m such a big sap and I love Christmas (or Chrismukkah ;)) episodes. My commentary (do not read on if you haven’t seen the episode)…

LOVE:
— Sandy in his Berkeley sweatshirt! I love that Sandy went to Berkeley — my alma mater! We share something now. So cool. 😀
— Seth’s reindeer sweater
— Ryan poking fun at his height while Marissa tried on the heels
— Seth/Summer/Anna sitting on the couch when Sandy and Kirsten walked in. So awkward. So funny.
— Summer dressed up as Wonder Woman. Rachel Bilson is adorable!
— Ryan’s stocking
— The Cohen family Chrismukkah card at the end. *sniff*

STRONGLY DISLIKE:
— Anna’s makeup. Some makeup artist is way too heavy-handed with the blush. Samaire is pretty but seriously, her makeup makes me cringe.
— Marissa’s delinquent behavior storyline. Just don’t feel the Marissa love lately.
— Seth’s indecision between Summer and Anna. I do not like love triangles (see Dawson’s Creek as the main reason why) and I don’t really want to see this storyline dragged out any longer. Still rooting for Seth/Summer. 🙂
— Oliver. Blech.

QUOTES I LIKE:
Seth: WASPy McWASP…

Seth: I don’t judge; I just mock.
Kirsten: That you get from your father.
Seth (bringing his hands up to his eyebrows): Oh my god, are they coming in?!

Seth: How was the mall?
Ryan: Weird.
Seth: You’ve really painted a picture for me. I feel like I was there.

Ryan: I left this behind. I am not doing it again. (I wanted to give him a hug!)

Summer: I don’t talk about, like, feelings… but I like you. (Awwww!)

Sandy: You’re here with us now. You don’t have to be the parent anymore.

Kinda missed Luke this week. Huh.

mid-season wrap up

Posted on by

Since it’s close to hiatus time, I thought I would do a little mid-season commentary of all the shows I started to watch this season…

Monday
Everwood – My saving grace this season. The show has continually gotten better and better with each episode. I may not necessarily like the direction of some storylines (Ephram/Madison and Andy/Linda) but I appreciate that the characters are being true to themselves. I do miss Colin, though. *sniff*

Las Vegas – Truly a guilty pleasure. 😀 It’s not really a great show plot-wise or anything (it’s usually downright predictable) but I think it’s a lot of fun. Plus, Josh Duhamel!!! LOVE him. He’s adorable.

Skin – I didn’t even get the chance to watch a whole episode before it got axed by FOX. I recorded the pilot (never got around to watching it and I probably taped over it) and watched about 15 minutes of the second episode. What I saw had potential though I didn’t fall in love. I enjoyed Adam Roam however. *g*

Tuesday
Gilmore Girls – I haven’t been watching this show faithfully like I used to. This season hasn’t grabbed me at all. I don’t really enjoy Digger or Marty and I wish there was more Lane and Paris. And as much as I love Rory, the girl is getting on my nerves.

One Tree Hill – OMG. New obsession. The show didn’t jump out at me right away but I kept watching (pretty much only because it airs right after GG and 24 hadn’t premiered yet). After a few episodes, the show seemed to find its legs so to speak — the improved writing has made me care about these characters. I’ve also found my ship of the season on this show — Nathan/Haley. LOVE. 🙂

24 – Still on my “must watch” list. But it still consistently gets me frustrated. I’m frustrated with Jack’s stubbornness, I’m frustrated with Kim’s hair, I’m frustrated with Tony’s condition, etc. etc. But I guess getting emotionally involved in a show is a good thing.

Wednesday
Smallville – I’ve enjoyed all the episodes this season so far, with the exception of the totally random retro episode. The most recent episode, Shattered, rocked. The acting was fantastic, there was lots of Clark and Lex (and even Clex!), and the storyline was actually captivating — something I was seriously missing from this show. My heart seriously hurt after seeing Lex at the end. *sob* Can’t wait til January.

The O.C. – *sigh* I adore this show. And I love Seth/Summer even more. Die Anna die! hehe. I’ve been hooked ever since it premiered back in August. It’s just excellent cheeky fun. 😀 But if TPTB mess with Sandy/Kirsten — %$^#@! There will be hell to pay.

The West Wing – I watched the premiere and that’s it. 🙁 I always forget that the show is on, probably because it’s on at the same time as The O.C. I still *must* purchase the s1 DVDs but the show just doesn’t have the same magic that it did for me in the earlier seasons.

Thursday
Friends – I have to say that I was definitely not a fan of the Joey/Rachel romance so I’m glad that it was over and done with quickly. I adore Monica/Chandler so I’m happy to see them with an ongoing storyline this season. I can’t wait to see Chandler (he’s my favorite friend!) with a baby. Too cute. I’m so going to miss this show next season!

Tru Calling – Saw the premiere and wasn’t compelled to watch any episodes following. My Eliza love can only go so far. I’ve read the FOX ordered 7 more episodes. Wow. I totally didn’t see that coming. I thought cancellation was on the horizon.

CSI – Still rocks. And now there’s Xander Berkeley (Mason from 24)! Though I found Fur and Loathing to be rather strange. Oh, and there just needs to be more Warrick. Thanks.

Friday
Miss Match – This show is sooo cute. I love what I’ve seen but honestly? Friday nights just don’t work for me. I think Kate and Michael are gorgeous together, though, so maybe I should make it a point to record the show so I can see if anything has happened with them. Anyone know?

Sunday
American Dreams – My precious precious show. I am alarmed that NBC has cut this season’s order from 22 to 18. It breaks my heart. I think this show gets better and better each week. I love everyone in the Pryor and Walker families and I hope that NBC realizes that there are many more stories to tell.

Alias – Still a can’t miss show for me but I don’t obsess over the show as much as I once did. My Syd/Vaughn loving heart just can’t take it! lol. But seriously, I still have yet to fully accept the 2 year time jump. I still feel a little cheated. I wanted to see Marshall and Carrie have a relationship! I wanted to see Dixon get promoted! Agghhh… useless resistance, I know.

Phew… even though I dropped a few shows, I still watch a ton of TV. I’m an addict, hehe.

Still feeling sick. Bah. I need to lie down.

vegas trip

Posted on by

I can’t believe I have to go back to work tomorrow. Guh.

Sooo I had a pretty rocking 4-day weekend. Rob and I had a great time in Vegas. We ate tons of food, he gambled (and even won a little!), and I shopped. 😀 Good times. Got home yesterday afternoon with a raging fever and a stuffy nose. Sucks. It seems like I’m always sick nowadays. Boo.

HEE! I’m currently watching VH1’S Big in 03 and they just had the award for Big Shocking Moment — and it was Ruben winning the American Idol crown over Clay. But the best part was that the presenters then announed that they were bringing out the person that should have won and it was Frenchie! Bwah. Also loved that The O.C. won the award for Biggest Guiltiest Pleasure. So cute to see the whole cast. But I missed Matchbox 20. *sniff* I have to catch a rerun.

Doing the Friday Five for good measure:

Do you like to shop? Why or why not? HELL YEAH!!! hehe. I don’t really know *why.* I just know that I do. Love shopping, that is. 😀

What was the last thing you purchased? Some tarts from the Yankee Candle Company. Love these things. They make my apartment smell yummy.

Do you prefer shopping online or at an actual store? Why? Shopping at an actual store. Especially for clothes. I have a really weird figure so it’s difficult for me to buy stuff online because I don’t get to try the stuff on.

Did you get an allowance as a child? How much was it? Does lunch money count? If not, then no allowance for me. But I’m an only child so if I asked, I usually got what I wanted. Within reason, of course. 😀

What was the last thing you regret purchasing? A Hard Candy nail polish set from Sephora. Their nail polish was awful — very thin and chipped quickly.

[EDIT] What is wrong with the time on this entry? Grr. I can’t seem to fix GM to be the right time… BOO.
