blah

Ah, Desperate Housewives. This show is quite interesting, even if I'm watching it for the second time. The first season. 

Gabrielle is supposed to hide all her belongings because she doesn't want the government to take it. 

I think Susan and Bree are my favorite housewives. It's difficult to say who my one favorite is though, really.

I really do enjoy this show. Masiy Gibbons just revealded to Bree Van dee Kamp that she was with her husband at the time of his heart attack. 

Ugh, I can't really think of anything else to write about tonight, but it's been a pretty entertaining evening.

im watching lost ... again

I've never declared my love for Adam Brody on my blog before, but that was until I found this picture. This is a very nice picture. He looks a little European. 

Today was spent doing a lot of Gossip Girl watching with L. You can tell it is produced by the same people that did The O.C. I guess I only realize it because I've seen it so many times. The O.C. I mean. Maybe you just have to look hard enough, or be familiar with The O.C.

I have a terrible headache right now. I think it might be sinus, but I haven't taken the proper medicine, so I should probably do that. 

We also watched some Desperate Housewives too.

these are the days of our lives

L and I went swimming today. We brought Buster, my sister and her friend Katie. 

L's reading The Carlyles! Haha!

Buster went swimming too!! He's so adorable:

Here are some pictures of me and L. We were hanging out last night and we took some pictures. Some are stranger than others.

Needless to say, we've been having a good time. Tomorrow, we're planning on laying out, going to Wal-Mart, making some clay figures, pendants or maybe even some other kinds of pottery. We'll see soon enough. L's mom set up a "workshop" for us in their shed. Her step-dad is a pottery teacher and I think they built the shed as a workspace for him. D&S. What an interesting couple. And I'm not talking about Dan and Serena.

I'm really enjoying the re-vamped blog template. It's rockin'. 

One day I'll write a serious blog. About something that matters.

too much lost is possibly a bad thing

Everyone should see it if they haven't yet.

And my short posts aren't doing my page any good. Ugh. 

anticipation is the worst part, i thought i'd spare you - kate to sawyer, lost

Sawyer is probably my most favorite character on this show. He's got the tough exterior, but has a softer inside that he only shows to certain people, namely Kate. Especially when he admits that he watched Little House on the Prairie. 

A nap still sounds nice.

rachel

is this a hobby of yours, underdog, diggin' holes? - sawyer to alex, lost

I absolutely wish I had more television shows on DVD. Like Ugly Betty, for example. And the rest of the series of The O.C. Those would be nice to add to my collection. I do so enjoy watching and commenting on the shows as I watch them.

Still watching Lost, of course. It's only been about thirty minutes. I would like to go into depth about my views and theories on Lost, but it seems futile, since no one who reads my blog actually watches Lost. 

Since it's Memorial Day, would Blockbuster be open today? I really want to rent season 2 of Desperate Housewives. I want to know more about these housewives that are so desperate. 

I'm getting tired of how dirty my computer is. I don't understand how it's possible that it can be so dirty. However, being a white computer, it does have its disadvantages. 

I love JJ Abrams and the producers of Lost. They can twist a story like no other team of producers. But that's to say about all show's producers. Who else could spin a story like that? I want to be a writer for a TV show one day. 

p&l

rachel

what you see is what you get

I changed the layout of my blog today. Now, it ironically resembles the layout of the Forgetting Sarah Marshall promotional blog I had a link to before the release of the movie. But surely, I'll put my own twist to things...

It's almost 4pm and the sun is shining, the AC is making a lot of noise, and my mom grilled some burgers and hot dogs for Memorial Day. I'm watching Lost because there's nothing else to do. Episode 3.6 "I Do." The flashbacks are about Kate. 

I kinda want to take a nap, but I know I would only be awoken by Buster or my mom or someone else. The phone, who knows. I probably wouldn't sleep for very long. 

My mom keeps it so cold in our house. I opened the window to get some of the warmer air from outside into my room, but it doesn't really help. It feels more breezy in here than before.

p&l

rachel

all's well that ends well

Sometimes I wonder if stubbornness is automatically every character's "character flaw" if that character is on a television show. Especially dramas. You find a lot of stubborn characters in dramas. Mostly the stubborn characters are the main ones, the ones with something challenging them in some way. Even Veronica Mars was stubborn... to an extent.

I'm just thinking about this because I'm watching Lost (of course) and almost every character is stubborn in one way or another. By season 3, these people have been on the island for almost 100 days. So it's been a long time and a lot of weird things have happened. But they still don't believe that they're on a mystical, magical-ish island. It's like they just. don't. believe. it. 

Ugh, John Locke is being faced with such a difficult life-changing-decision-making situation ahead of him. But currently, he's fighting a polar bear. 

Tomorrow, I finally see L. I'm very excited seeing as I finally get to give her her birthday present, The Carlyles. 

Tomorrow is also Memorial Day and we'll probably be at my grandmother's house for a good long time. I hope it's not going to be raining all day.

Scarlett Johansson just released an album of Tom Waitts covers. L told me to listen to her song "Falling Down" off the album. I listened. I want to burn my ears. I mean... it's painful to listen to. Any where I lay my head is the name of the album. I think.

when you're downtown, things'll be great

One of the taste buds on my tongue has become enflamed and it hurts a lot. It's a very sensitive bud, if you ask me. 

The first season of Desperate Housewives was pretty gnarly. I mean that in a good way. 

Now, I'm just beginning Lost Season 3 for the second or third time? I can't remember. But it's a good time to re-live the liking of Benjamin Linus, and all of Juliette's bland facial expressions that we see for ten or so seconds all close up. Oh, ABC. And JJ Abrams. 

The flash-forwards are also a very good addition to the mystery and twistedness that is Lost. It's a very wicked ride, and I can't wait to see how they're going to pull off this ending. It's got to be good. They have to have it all planned out already since they know when it's going to end and all that jazz. 

Shows like Grey's Anatomy, Dancing with the Stars (even though I don't watch that show) and like my favorite cancelled show, Veronica Mars, they all have to wonder when they're going to get cancelled because they don't make enough ratings or they haven't signed on for a pre-determined amount of seasons. I wonder what is so different about Lost? The logistics behind are kind of interesting. 

Ah, but season three of Lost is good because this is where Kate and Sawyer make their move on what we all knew would happen eventually. Season four is good because we learn a good bit more about the island. Not a whole lot more, but a decent amount. We can only theorize about the black smoke monster, after seeing Ben go into that room and come out looking like he came from a mine shaft and then the tanker guys get a can of whoop-ass opened up on them with lightning and all going off. I mean, what the hell was going on there? What did Ben do to make the "security system" of the island go crazy on them like that? So many questions need to be answered.

Jack. Jack, Jack, Jack. Dr. Jack Shepard, spinal surgeon, is one hard-headed man. He's very stubborn, as most men are. He won't take no for an answer, trusts no one, and believes he's the righteous one out of them all. He has become one of my least favorite characters.

Kate and Sawyer are my character faves. Along with Sun, Desmond Hume and John Locke. A lot of the characters have surnames of many famous philosophers. Such as Hume and Locke.  

Friday was my sister's last day of 7th grade. It's weird to think of my sister as getting older. Although she is much bigger than I am now, I still think of her as my little sister. Since she is 8 years younger than me. In one year from now, she'll be going into high school. It's just weird. I think all older siblings go through this, maybe. 

I'm getting kinda sleepy, and it's kinda stuffy in here. Not as cool as I'd like it to be.

I'm really considering re-reading the Harry Potter series. I don't know if I want to start from the beginning or when everything gets really good..... 

im not a fan of nicholas cage

Yet again, I am watching Desperate Housewives. It's getting more and more intriguing. 

I really want a salad with ranch dressing. It sounds so amazingly good. 

I played pool very badly tonight. 

OH! I read somewhere that this guy Michael Austillo said that the chances for a Veronica Mars return to the CW network has gone from "so-so" to "pretty good" and I am taking those chances! 

Although, the word is that it's going to take place five years later when Veronica is in the FBI, and there might even be a title change!? 

Something I need to do in the near future is watch the Indiana Jones movies. I hear they're supposed to be good. I never really bought into George Lucas. I only recently saw Star Wars. Whatever. 

X and I finally painted the front door today. However, it was only a first coat, but X leaves on Sunday. Who will finish the door?!?! I want to. 

p&l

rachel

my computer is still really dirty

So I was totally wrong about Desperate Housewives. It's not like I imagined it would be. 

Maybe all the shows that I never thought I'd like I will actually like if I gave them a chance. However, this library isn't as well stocked as I'd like it to be, so there isn't much of a choice. 

This show reminds me a little of Weeds, minus all the weed selling. Pretty people living in a neighborhood, or well on a street, and having all sorts of love, marriage or whatever other problems go on. As Bree said in the show, it's the age-old question of 'how much do we really want to know about our neighbors?' 

It was so cloudy today, there was no sun to lay out under. 

The stories people don't tell anyone are the most interesting stories to hear. Or at least that's what someone on Desperate Housewives said.

70th post

Currently, I'm watching Spirited Away. It's an amazing movie. I'm not going to watch all of it though, since it's already 1am. I only recently took my sleeping meds, so hopefully they'll kick in soon and bedtime won't be long after that.

I don't have much to report on the day, except I slept for a long time and sat at home for most of the day. I watched Juno again, twice. I watched Cloverfield again, and I watched 27 Dresses with X. It was pretty cute. 

I've been having a "one of those days." I guess that's what you'd call them. Just nothing has been right or whatever. I never did anything right. Oh, and Buster threw up three times in my room. I think he had some of a drink I had that was red, because it was red on our blue carpet. Gross. 

I went to bed semi-early last night, but I just could not get out of bed this morning, or afternoon. I didn't get up until 2:30pm-ish. 

I guess my day did get better in the evening, but nothing really happened.

I <3 Michael Cera

Michael Cera
Doesn't he have the most beautiful face? 

He's my male-celebrity crush. 

Since everyone knows Kristen Bell is my female-celebrity crush. 

I'm watching Juno right now, which sparked my Michael Cera thoughts. 

But he is one attractive guy, if I do say so. And funny. I love Arrested Development. And Superbad was awesomely funny. 

Speaking of Arrested Development, I almost forgot Jason Bateman was in Juno. 

Ellen Page is also pretty awesome. Ha, and I did say I wasn't much of a Jennifer Garner fan, but I do enjoy her in this movie. Maybe I do like Jennifer Garner. I don't know why I didn't like her. 

I change my mind. I like Jennifer Garner. Whatever.

we only got 4 minutes to save the world

I have much to report on Gossip Girl this evening. 

First off: 

Tonight was the season one finale and it was pretty awesome! And mind-bending. Georgina was sent away, although I heard she's coming back for season two? We'll see. Little Jenny Humphrey gets an internship with Eleanor Waldorf - isn't that Blair's mom? And aren't Blair and Jenny like... archenemies? Or something....

Chuck is up to no good, as usual, although he has stolen the Queen B's heart and left her alone on a plane to Tuscany with a hunky associate that works with her father. Unknowingly, of course, on both of their behalves. Blair doesn't know that Chuck ditched the plane to have a tryst with a girl named Amelia. 

Also, it looks like Dan and Serena are done for now. Also, Vanessa and Nate are done, but does this mean that it will just switch over, like it should have been from the first place? It seems like kismet, right? Dan and Vanessa, the trendy indie kids who live in the Upper West Side and Brooklyn, respectively, get together after being BFF for 13 years? And Nate and Serena who lost their virginity to each other almost a year or two ago. What will happen in the next season of Gossip Girl? The finale left many questions lingering in my mind. 

It really takes some getting used to. Going from the book series to the TV show. It's like ... two different worlds. Kind of like parallel universes. Things go differently than in the other. At the end of the book series, they graduated, and at the end of the season, they just have a summer break. What, were they juniors this year? They were seniors the whole time in the book series. 

As for the other news: 

The newest It Girl novel, Tempted, will be coming out next month. I'm excited. Also, when I was on the Alloy Entertainment web page, I read that the It Girl novels are under development for film from Universal and a one hour series with the CW. Gossip Girl and the It Girl both on the CW.... is this actually going to happen? I mean, really. 

There are many book series that are undergoing development with other stations like ABC family and all that. It seems kind of sad that most of these won't get picked up for a second season. Maybe.  

I've been wanting to watch the other seasons of The O.C. and some Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but the library doesn't carry any Buffy and nothing past season one of The O.C. which I own. The search on the web was futile. I should go up there and tell them they need to get new seasons of The O.C. and that they need some Buffy. Or maybe I'll just keep my mouth shut. 

So, today X and I started actually sanding the front door of her parents house. It's a lot easier with the sander, but it's still a pain in the ass. After holding the sander for a while, it kind of tickles your hands. Also, X's front door is RED, so afterwards we were covered in red dust. X's mom asked her if she got too much sun today. Haha. The shower afterwards was very nice as well. 

Today, T also got her braces, but she said they hurt her a lot and went to sleep early tonight. So I'm sitting at home, blogging. X is coming over soon and we might watch a movie. My parents rented 27 Dresses, Juno and Cloverfield. I've already seen Juno which I loved. And I saw Cloverfield the other night, but I'd totally watch it again because it's ridiculously crazy. Can't say I've seen 27 Dresses because I haven't. I do enjoy Katherine Heigl though, and I do enjoy some romantic comedies. I really liked 13 Going on 30, even though I don't really like Jennifer Garner. It was cute, plus I like Mark Ruffalo. 

p&l (for now)

as for the money, it was never yours

I really want some cheese pizza. Like really. I see it on TV and now I must have it. 

Subliminal messages all over the place, man. Or maybe I just have the munchies. Tee-hee. 

I'm really hungry, but there's nothing I can do about it. There's really nothing to eat. Well, I'm too lazy to fix anything to eat right now. It's late. 

Gotta get up early though.

p&l

rachel

no lies, just love

I don't know what it is, but I've been in a very blah mood today. 

X came over and we hung out for a while, but then M called and she went to hang out with her. I couldn't leave the house today since my sister was too scared to get on the bus in a thunderstorm. I got on my bus in thunderstorms when I was in 7th grade. Didn't I?

Whatever. It doesn't really matter. I've just been sitting around doing almost absolutely nothing today. Watching tv (online) and reading have been very mundane activities. It's Friday! I should be out doing crazy things right? Nah. I've had enough crazy for a while. However, it would be nice to do something. Having no job equals having no money, so therefore I can't really go out and do things when I don't have the money to spend.

And all that.

I have a headache. I wonder where it came from. I really need to bring these things back to the library, but I don't want to drive all the way out there by myself. Boo hoo.

I watched the latest Ugly Betty, and I have to say, I love this show. Oh, and Lost was really good too. Oh goodness, Ben. I know you always have a plan, but how are you gonna get us out of this one?!?

I cleaned my room today. Dusted and vacuumed. It's dust free. Yipee!

I sure do hope that it's not going to be raining tomorrow. I can't take it! Gah! This weather just puts me in the dullest of moods. Although I still want to do something. I guess it's up to me to get out of this gloomy droop of a day. Something good needs to happen.

It's almost 4:20, and that's something good that's going to happen, but I don't really have the means to do all that right now. Plus, this headache is rendering me immobile, all except my fingers, which I'm using to blog currently.

There's a smoke detector in my room, but the light isn't on. I don't think it works. Sometimes it gets pretty smokey in this room, depending on if I have the window open or not, and that thing never makes a beep. I wonder if it has any batteries in it. Who knows.

My room collects the most dust in the house. I think it's because of Buster. I have this teddy bear I got for Valentine's day from one of my parents and it was white. Now, it's white with greyish-brown tips. Ew, gross. That's all dust. I think I'm gonna have to get rid of the teddy bear.

I really want to close my eyes and take a nap or something. Since I've been up since 7:30am. That's REALLY early to me.

I can't wait for L to come back down to the Coast. It will be good to see her. I'm also glad to see X now. I miss my friends. :'(

p&l

rachel

no words

Rain, rain go away.

It's been raining constantly since I woke up hours ago. My sister is still home and is not going to school today.

I haven't spoken to X today. 

I think I'm getting hungry again. Gah. I don't feel like doing anything. Even make lunch. :-/

Oh, so yes. I finished The Carlyles. It's pretty intoxicating once you get into it. I think the characters are hot, fresh and slightly original. The way they intertwined the characters without the others knowing about them was pretty awesome. You'll see once you read it, L. I still say my favorite triplet is Baby. 

Anyways, I'm super bored now that I've finished that book. I could begin a new book, but I'm still reading two other books that I haven't finished yet. Lullaby and The Sun Also Rises. 

Maybe I should give X a call.

rain drops keep fallin on my head

It's 8am-ish and I'm awake. There's a thunderstorm going on outside. I think that's what woke me up. So now, here I am, awake and watching the storm outside my window.

I can still hear my sister inside. I don't know if she's going to school or not.... ? 

p&l

rachel

some food for thought about the carlyles

I'm already halfway through the newest edition to the written Gossip Girl series. It's very interesting, I suppose. The characters are all very familiar, but they have their own way about them. I think my favorite character so far is Baby Carlyle. These girls, and one boy, are surly getting into some trouble already. Avery, Baby and Owen Carlyle are rarely seen in the same chapters. However, there was one chapter where Baby and Avery had French class together, but I only just got done with the first day of school.  

Why do they do that to us? Write these books and wait like 6 months until the next one is released? They could make some serious bank if they put out more spin offs and whatnot. It's a good plan. They could have books released every 3 months instead, or even once a month if they had enough spin offs or whatever. 

p&l

rachel

middlesex much?

What is it about Greeks and birth deformations? Is it incest? Ha, I kid. Of course, this is from a novel I've read. Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. Brilliant novel. I think I may re-read it again. For the 3rd time. 

I've begun reading The Carlyles. It's going to take some getting used to. 

Tomorrow, I'm going to be at X's house, sanding the doors of the house so that we can paint them. This is going to be a lot of fun. It's supposed to be raining, but we'll see. I slept until 2pm today, so I didn't see much of the storming that happened earlier. But I did see the doppler radar and it looks like something is coming down here from North Carolina and all that area. 

I really want to take some writing classes, but I can't do any such thing until I get back to a real university. I was thinking about taking a class online, but it might be too expensive. I will more than likely be elegable for the Pell Grant this year. Who knows what I can pull off with that. I think tuition at the junior college is less than a grand for a full-time student. But who knows how much it will be, since I haven't even signed up for classes yet. Or talked to people at the school. Maybe I should do some investigating next week about that.

My lord. There has been absolutely nothing to do these few days. It's been so humid and whatnot. It's only the Spring, who knows how hot it will be by July. 

I didn't get to re-arranging my room today. Seeing as I slept until 2 and then did all the house work I had to do. I really need to find a job, or something. Something part-time. 

p&l

some gossip talk

Ok, so I just finished the last Gossip Girl before The Carlyles. I have to say, that was an ending I wasn't expecting. Who knew Nate was going to sail off into the sunset without saying goodbye? 

I knew no matter what, that Serena and Blair would be BFF after Nate. Dan and his wanna-be Kerouac-esqueness or whatever he wants to be. We all know Jenny goes to Waverly Academy next year, with the start of the It Girl series. 

Anyway... I don't know what I'm going to do without Serena, Blair, Nate, Dan, Jenny and Vanessa. Even Rufus, Dan and Jenny's father, was amusing. Not exactly the same as the Rufus Humphrey on the sitcom, but maybe it's better that way. There are a lot of things that are different from the book series. Especially the relationships. 

• Blair and Chuck (they never dated in the series, I don't think)
  
• Rufus and Lilly, Serena's mom (no parental contact in the books except for the upper east sider parents)
• Nate and Vanessa (they never dated in the series)
  
• Serena and Dan (they don't stay together and fall in love in the books)
  
• Jenny and Asher (who was created strictly for the show)
  
• Dan and Georgina (she actually dates Nate in the book series and never meets Dan. wasn't very good friends with Serena at Hanover.)

Tomorrow, I will begin reading either The Carlyles or Anna Karenina. Who knows, maybe a little of both? Anna Karenina is sooooooooo long. I wish I had a more recent copy of Madame Bovary. It would also help if it were paperback. I'm not a big fan of hard back books. 

So many books to return to the library. I wish it wasn't going to be raining. Poo. It's all a bunch of poo. 

p&l

rachel

yuck it up, fancy pants

I've been thinking about high school a lot recently. Mainly because I've seen a lot of people I used to go to high school with. These people weren't from my grad class, but it's not a big deal. There were years where I wasn't a senior. One year, in particular, I almost got a teacher fired. (Whoops.) 

X and I hung out with T today. It's been a pretty good day. No laying out today, even though it didn't rain. But it's supposed to rain tomorrow which sucks. :( I hope X's dad gets the ball on the roll about the painting job X and I have ahead of us. 

I haven't read much into The Carlyles. I want to finish the last Gossip Girl novel, don't you forget about me, first, which I'm very close to doing. 

This is pretty interesting: Michigan Girl Scout Sells 17,000+ boxes of cookies.

I really want to re-arrange my room. Tomorrow it's going to rain, so I'll have the free time to do so, I'm sure. Ugh, I have to go to the library tomorrow. Or maybe I won't have to if R comes down here and then I can have him drop them off on his way home. That would be ideal. Maybe I can get him to help me do some heavy lifting here in my room. 

I think I'm going to re-read The Secret History, written by Donna Tartt. I haven't read her other story, which I own but can't recall the name of. 

I really enjoy green tea. 

Rain makes me want to sleep in, but I can't do that tomorrow. :( I have laundry to finish, plus I'm sure I'll have dishes to do or something. X is coming over so we can watch some Gossip Girl episodes. 

I also wish that it wouldn't rain so much this week. I'm not sure what the weather is going to be like, but I'm hoping it doesn't last too long. According to weather.com, it's going to rain until Friday, but Saturday and Sunday are going to be sunny and partly cloudy. Monday and Thursday are gonna be sunny, Tuesday will be partly cloudy, and Wednesday and Friday will be thunderstorms. More rain. Super bummer. 

I've been re-watching Veronica Mars season 3 until I have to return it. I don't have anything else to watch until I can get Lost season 3. I also have Desperate Housewives season 1 on hold, but who knows when I'll be getting that. It's quite popular. I've never watched it, so I'm going to give it a chance. 

I wish the library here had the Buffy series on DVD. 

p&l

rachel

Yahtzee!

I was thinking a few moments ago about how the Gossip Girl books have a lot of interesting extra characters that would make for interesting back story. 

I still haven't finished the last one, which I'm still reading, so I can't really decide how the Yale spin-off would go. I think Dan at Evergreen would be a good spin-off. I do really enjoy the Jenny Humphrey It Girl spin-off. 

Lets see, also, if you go a little futuristic, you could do Yale Waldorf in California with Eleanor. 

Ugh. I can't stop thinking about Gossip Girl. I missed tonight's episode. Thankfully it comes on again on Sunday. However, this means I missed my AbLounge time. I think I'm going to have to make up for it tomorrow when I'm doing the house work. Ha. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

T invited me to lay out tomorrow, and I'm going to, but I have to wake up early and do a lot of things around the house. Some laundry, probably some dishes. I have to make some banana pudding for desert. I was supposed to make a salad today, so maybe I'll make one for tomorrow.

Oh, I had the rest of the most delicious cheesecake I've ever had tonight. We got some from Outback on Mother's Day, and I was surprised to see that it hadn't been completely eaten by now. Very surprised. So I took the opportunity and ate the rest of it. Which was very amazing. 

I'm watching the last episode of the series from Veronica Mars. Oh Veronica, I wish you hadn't been cancelled for the Pussycat Dolls.

the day is still young

Ah, good ol' 9am. It's been a while since I've been up this early.

I opened the blinds and the window today, since it did in fact turn out to be a glorious day. It's a little on the chilly side, but maybe by 11 it will warm up enough for me to lay out once again. I think this week is full of storms. We should have good reading/watching material. 

Buster's eyes keep twitching while he's sleeping and it makes me very nervous. 

I've started the final Gossip Girl novel featuring Serena van der Woodsen and Blair Waldorf. It's going to be sad to see them go. I'm not sure how it ends, but I'm pretty excited to find out. I'll probably finish it today.

p&l

rachel

this may not be the only post of the day

It's 6am on a what I hope to be a beautiful Monday because I'll surely want to lay out later after being up for so freakin' long.

Someone called me at 5 something and now I can't go back to sleep. Thanks.

My friend X comes home today and I'm pretty freakin' excited about that. Also, tonight is a brand-spankin'- new episode of Gossip Girl, and I can't wait to find out: IS SERENA REALLY A MURDERER? 

I don't think we'll find out for sure in this episode, but I'm sure something wicked this way is sure to come. With Georgina now thrown into the mix, who knows what kind of antics, bitch-fights and betrayal our Upper East Siders will be capable of. Except Dan. He's a pretty good guy, but he's dating a supposed murderer! Uh-oh Dan, don't be Serena's next victim! 

I want to say that I think Forgetting Sarah Marshall is doing a pretty good job in the box office. I don't remember the exact date it came out, but it's still in the top 10. Number 6 in fact, but that's still good after Iron Man and What Happens in Vegas... just came out. 

Speaking of Iron Man, I love Robert Downey Jr. 

I can hear my sister clanking away at her cereal breakfast in the room adjacent to mine. Buster is lightly snoring next to me, and the birds outside which usually chirp at night time are chirping at their appropriate hour. I sure hope that today will be a lovely day.

Ok, so like I said, it's back to Square One on my job hunt. I haven't heard from the editor of the paper I used to work for, so who knows what I'm going to do now. My mother starts her new job today and it's kind of weird to think that my mom isn't going to be here after she has been for the past year or so. I'm sure she's pretty weirded out about going back to work as well. 

She has to be at work at 7:30 I think. She has some of her work clothes here in my closet, and I left it open for her, if she needed to come in and get some clothes, but no one has come in yet. Maybe I should go and offer my best of luck to her.

BRITNEY SPEARS!

Britney Spears is to reunite with the cast of How I Met Your Mother sometime in the near future. One of the next two Mondays, I believe. It's going to be something no one should miss. 

If I had TiVo, I would totally TiVo it. 

However, since I have no TiVo, I'm going to have to do some split-watching. Since How I Met Your Mother comes on at the same time as Gossip Girl on Mondays, it seems like .... it's a little difficult to do both at the same time. 

I can't wait till it comes on to semi-watch it though. I missed Brit's first performance on the show, I don't want to miss the second.

i don't know what to say

I've been doing a lot of things today. Kind of, I guess....

I hung out with T, R, and my sister for a while today. It was a good time. I played Yahtzee with my dad before R showed up at my house.

I'm watching Lost Season 2. I've also gotten myself caught up on Season 4 of Lost, which has been getting crazier by the episode. Who's alive? Who isn't alive? Who's real? Who isn't? Who is going to make a new appearance that we didn't expect to happen? OMG CHRISTIAN! If you don't know who Christian is.... he's the father of two main characters on Lost. I mean, those are the kinds of questions that are being asked this season. Although they're supposed to talk about the four toed statue that is on the shore of the island. And the Temple is supposed to be revealed. 

Lost makes me all kinds of insane. Like... I can't wait until I know what everything means because it really is kinda making me upset. Can you really expect the audience to really keep wanting to know what happens episode after episode.....? I mean, obviously, and it's working because I keep wanting to know more and more and every episode a little bit more is revealed. Just enough to keep your interest sparked. And then you still want to watch next week. And then the week after that. Then their ratings go up and blah blah blah. Who gives a crap.

Whatever. 

I drove around Front Beach a lot, which was fun. Well, it was more of downtown Ocean Springs, but it was still fun. I was with my sister and her friend, but we picked up the pizza that we had for dinner and it was great. I don't know. I love cheese pizza. 

I can't wait till I can move far away from the south and all it's republican-ness. A person can't even dress out of some sort of code and not be judged. And I don't judge people. It's just not something we have the control over. We can't control how people want to live their lives, so we just have to accept who people are, no matter what the fuck they like or whatever. 

I don't know .... I got a fragrance thing from Bath and Body Works that plugs into the wall. My mom bought it for me, and I thank her for it. Although my room doesn't smell BAD, it smells like stale smoke and whatnot. A little like dog, but that's the Buster's fault. With the new plug in thing, it makes the room a more fragrant place. The fragrance isn't very hardcore either. Like, it's lightly covering my room, with scents like lavender and wildflowers, but subtle. 

It's nice.

I didn't know that the Edgewater Mall had a Wet Seal, and it was very exciting to go in and find that there was a massive sale going on. I bought a lot of clothes, and I'm pretty excited. I got this one dress that reminds me of something that maybe Serena van der Woodsen would wear in NYC. It's a pretty dress. It's yellow and kind of tunic-esque, but it's long, I guess knee-length. 

Whatever. It's just a dress. 

Anyway, I also got these cute shoes that are like mary janes, but they have a slight heel, and the name of them, the designer I guess, is Sarah Jayne. So it's cute how they're mary jane-esque shoes, with a heel, but they have a different name. Forgive me. I had two or three beers this evening. 

Either way, I love Wet Seal. I got a discount card from them, and I can't wait until I get a job so I can start buying super sweet clothes at Wet Seal. Maggie, my roommate from long ago, used to buy clothes online from Wet Seal, and I would always kind of like what she got, but I was also jealous because she was a spoiled bitch who got whatever she wanted. But I'm not going to get into that. It's a long story, but I'll kick her ass if she ever tries to fuck something up for me again. 

I think the scent that's coming from the plug in I got from Bath and Body Works is called Moonlight Path. 

I didn't do any reading today. Wait, I lied. I read some of a Gossip Girl book. The next one in the series I need to finish first before I'll read The Carlyles. 

I think Shannon is about to get shot on Lost. This is a very sad part of the series, because Sayid is in love with her, and it's very sad. Sad, sad, sad. :'(

Sayid just told Shannon that he loves her. Except for Sayid is supposed to be in love with some girl named Nadia he's been looking for for over 8 years. Now Shannon is running towards Walt in the forest. And a gun shot went off. Shannon has been shot. I knew this was coming. Poor Shannon. She was one of my favorite characters from the first few series'. I didn't like Michael until I re-watched the first season for the second time. 

Anyway, it's like 3 something in the morning and I have a birthday party to go to tomorrow around noon, and I will really want to sleep my ass off, but I can do no such thing. I think T said she was going to come with me. I really hope she does, or else I'm going to have to bring a book. 

Ugh, yeah yeah. Whatev.
