slow Week

Don't really have much to say since the last blog. Just a few notes.

Lost

Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) is still alive. And that's all that really matters.

Until tomorrow.

i hate american Idol

This season of Bones is being aired on Thursday nights at 8pm on FOX, as opposed to last year when it aired on Mondays. The only problem is FOX likes to air American Idol at that same time. Now, how in the WORLD does a network air two programs at ONCE?! The answer: they don't. Instead, they boot Bones off the air every other week so that lame ass American Idol can be on instead. WTF?! It pisses me off so much that they boot one program off so that another "better" one can be on instead. It's not even a better show, it just happens to have more ratings... supposedly. I just can't even get over it. Pissed.

Sickness and the power of OTCs

I was pretty sick most of the weekend which sucked. Thursday night I was so sick. I had a hard time breathing, plus I had a fever. And for those that know me, I don't do doctors, so I was not about to go to the doctor. Instead, I popped a Pepcid and some Motrin, let them settle and then hit the bed around 5am Friday morning. It pretty much sucked Friday too, because I had to go to work and we had so much stuff we had to do, that I don't think it helped me much. Then Saturday morning I was helping a friend with auditions and still felt pretty crappy but made it through. What can I say? I'm a trooper. I'm better now, still get headaches off and on, but that's nothing new to me. But I always say, there's nothing that can't be fixed with the proper amount of OTCs (over-the-counter drugs), certain diseases and ailments excluded, of course.

Footloose Remake

Some dumbasses with a lot of money decided they wanted to remake the classic movie Footloose, with none-other-than, Zack Efron. When I heard they were remaking the movie to begin with I was pissed, but when I heard Efron was going to be the leading man, I was livid to no extent. But... apparently Zack Efron has decided he no longer wants to do "teen musicals." Can I get a "Hallelujah!!" The whole movie relied on whether Zack Efron was going to be in it, so hopefully that means they'll scrap the idea all together. We can only hope.

Remaking Footloose is like remaking The Sound of Music or It's a Wonderful Life. You don't remake those movies! Period.

People who don't respond to messages and emails...

I don't think there is really much to say to this except, wtf? Respond to your messages. People took the time to write them to you, the least you could do is take 2 seconds to say something (anything) back. Think about it.

I guess that's all for now.

Until tomorrow.

all that good Stuff

So, it's been a week since my last blog, but that's because I've been super busy since then. But I got some time now, especially since I can't sleep, to blog, so here I am.

Side note: I am currently listening to one of my favorite songs as I type this. It's "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher" by Jackie Wilson. This song puts me in the best mood no matter what's going on around me. It's been my song of the week a couple times now. It's just a really great song! Love it.

Spring Break

I spent my Spring Break in LA, as we know, and it was just awesome. I loved it. I loved just hanging out with my friends, not having to worry about anything or do anything. It was so much fun. Got to see a couple more celebs while I was out there too. The biggest was probably Adam Sandler. We saw him at this restaurant called Barney's Beanery. It was a really good restaurant, too. And our waitress was really cute. But that's not why it was so good, it just was. It was a fun environment. What was really cool was the tables had all these pictures of celebrities taken out of magazines and stuff. And the absolutely freaky thing was that out of all the places for me to sit at the table, was that I sat down and right where I was sitting was a huge picture of Debra Messing. Now, that's only important for the people who know my story with Debra Messing. It was so funny because I didn't even realize it was her when I sat down. It took me about 15 minutes before I even realized she was there. Freaky. I think Deb is stalking me...

Overall, it was just a great Spring Break. Really glad I got to go.

The L Word

I didn't get a chance to talk about the season finale of The L Word yet. There's really not much to say. It sucked just like the rest of the season. We still don't know who killed Jenny, but we do know that Alice is the one who gets stuck with it because we know that Leisha Hailey is getting a spin-off where she goes to prison for killing Jenny. WTF? I still can't believe that... Anyways, the semi-good news is that Tasha and Alice are still together, we think. It's not really made clear that they stay together, but since Alice is going to jail, I don't see much of a future there.

The only thing I liked about the finale was the very end when all the characters start walking into the police station. They start out looking very sad, and upset, but then they start smiling. I loved that they were smiling because it looked like they all knew something and that none of them was going to give up the others. It also made it seem like they really weren't that upset about Jenny being dying, which I also liked because none of them had a reason to care that she was gone. The only thing that F'ed up that scene was that they showed Jenny walking in with them at the end. Hello?!! She's suppose to be dead! It ruined what I thought was the only good part of the whole episode. So, when I think about the ending I just picture it without Jenny. The way it should have been.

We were also told during the season that Carmen (Sarah Shahi) would be appearing in the final episode, and we (the remaining fans) got really excited. We didn't know, however, that 1) it would only be for 5 seconds, 2) that it would be via recorded video segment, and 3) that we wouldn't even get to hear what she was saying because the characters were talking over her part. Again, WTF?

It was just, overall, a hugely disappointing ending to a really good show. Sad it had to go out like that.

Nastaha Richardson

Yesterday, the wonderfully talented and beautiful actress, Natasha Richardson died. I couldn't believe it, and still can't. Three days ago she was taking ski lessons and fell, and hit her head. She was fine to begin with, but an hour later complained of a headache. She was considered brain dead, and her family pulled the life support plug, and she died a day later. It's just so sad and tragic for something like this to happen. She was only 45. One of the first movies I saw her in was Nell. I remember her and Liam Neeson, and I remembered how much I loved both of their characters, especially since they ended up together in the end. They got married in real life shortly after, and I was so excited for them. Next time I saw her was in The Parent Trap, the remake. I love that movie, and especially her in it. I loved her character. She did such a good job in that movie. She was also in Maid In Manhattan, another favorite. It's going to be so hard to watch any of these movies now. It's just so hard to believe. She will be deeply, deeply missed.

Lost

Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet) is still alive. That's really all that matters. Done.

Portia De Rossi

Portia De Rossi has been one of the loves of my life since I first saw her 10 years ago on Ally McBeal. I've been watching her ever since. I knew her before anyone else. And the fact that she's Australian doesn't hurt at all, either. Portia was on Ellen Monday. Like as a guest, not just there. It was really cute to see them together, and see Ellen interview her wife. The whole segment just made me love Portia even more. She was on the show because Portia has a new tv show that just aired last night (Wednesday). It's a dark comedy, I guess you call it. She plays a character named Veronica, the boss at some company that makes things. I thought it was pretty good. It might take others a few episodes to like it though, but of course, I'm completely and honestly biased on the matter, so it doesn't really matter what I actually think. :) I'll watch anything with Portia, good or bad.

The show airs Wednesday nights at 8:30pm on ABC. (Right before Lost and Elizabeth Mitchell.) Bonus.

The Little Things

I just wanted to say how funny I find it that, now that I've gradutated, there are so many people that want my help. I guess I've been dubbed the "Sound Person," which is cool and all, but now I'm constantly being asked by people to help them on their projects. I don't remember being asked for this much help when I was actually in school. I'm not complaining or anything, I just find it very interesting, and funny. Am I the only person that knows how to do sound? And if so, how sad is that? And it makes me wonder, too, was I their first choice to help, or the last resort since no one else could do it? I just wonder sometimes, ya know...?

I guess that's all I got for now.

Until tomorrow.
Peace

my spring break so Far

So, I arrived in LA this past Monday, and have had a blast so far. It has been the ultimate break. It's funny too, because I never went on a "real" Spring Break until now, and now I'm not even in school anymore. Funny.

I didn't get here until Monday night so we didn't really do anything that night except hang, which was fun too.

On Tuesday, we slept in a little. Then we picked up Carrie from the airport and headed over to Melrose and Sunset Blvd. (DJ Sunset Blvd!) After that, we came back and picked up Robbi from the Metro station. After that we met up with Chatfield and headed over to The Grove and got some grub. That was by far the best French Dip sandwich I've ever had. Ever. Really good Black Cherry Soda, too. After that the night had only just begun. We walked down the street at the Grove to see a free concert. The concert was by the Ballas Hough Band. The lead singers were Mark Ballas and Derek Hough from Dancing With The Stars. So, they started our night of celeb sightings... but since they were "celebs" their celeb friends were there too.

The list:
Julianne Hough
Shannon Elizabeth
Cheryl Burke
Lacey Schwimmer
Lil Kim
Cody Linley
Shawn Johnson
Bruno (judge from DTWS)


There were a couple other "celebs" but I didn't really know who they were. Apparently the guy who showed his "goods" in the movie Sex and the City was there too. Also, an athlete was there too, that I didn't know, but that's okay. It was a lot of fun. On Wednesday we went to Hermosa beach. It was pretty cold, and not very sunny, but it was fun. We played some frisbee, which sucked because of the wind, but again, it was fun. Me, Robbi, and Carrie went walking on the beach. Scof and Mitch went surfing but the waves weren't really there. That night we went out, got drunk, and don't really know what else happened.

We went to Hollywood on Thursday. Got to see Kodak Theatre, Gramuns Chinese Theatre, and some of the stars on the Walk of Fame. It was pimp. Also, got to meet up with my Lost World friend Marline (Leener) and we went and had lunch. It was really good seeing her again. I haven't seen her since my freshmen year of college. It was really nice.

We also got to go to the Griffith Park Observatory where they filmed Rebel Without A Cause, one of my favorite movies. It was really cool. We got to see Saturn, the planet, and that was cool, too, especially since one of my favorite movies was filmed there.

Tonight we went to a bar called Happy Ending. We saw Vinnie Jones there. He's a lot shorter than I thought he was but still a good looking guy. We got tipsy, again, and I was hit on by a male bartender. The only reason I didn't mind was because he gave me more alcohol than normal and let me skip in front of everyone else. He was cool. Thanks guy.

Until tomorrow.
Peace

friday before spring Break

When I got to work today, I found out that our building is closing at 8pm instead of 10pm. Normally I wouldn't mind this, but not when I'm already missing so much time from my paychecks. All someone had to do was tell me we were closing early, and I could have come in early. This sucks.

On a happier note, I got a facebook message from the one-and-only, Ms. Mandy Gonzalez!! For those that don't know, she plays Nina in my favorite Broadway play "In The Heights." I was so excited. I sent her a message complimenting her on her facebook profile picture, and also to tell her how much I love the show. I wasn't expecting her to write back, but she did!! That just goes to show how awesome all the people on ITH are. Don't know if I mentioned it before, but I'm facebook friends with my favorite actress from ITH, Ms. Janet Dacal. They are just they greatest people ever! Can't wait to go see that show again!

When I get back to my apartment, I get to start packing for LA! I can't wait to get over there!! Spring Break 09!

Until tomorrow.

update, update, Update

So, I haven't updated my blog in over a week. It's kinda sad considering on the stuff that has gone on since last week, so its a good thing nobody actually reads this. Let's see. What has happened since last week...

The Drag King Show

I went to a drag king show last Friday with my best friends Carrie and Robbi. It was there first time going, and so much fun. I had been to drag shows before so it wasn't quite the same experience they had, but it was still a lot of fun. It was so crowded there, the most crowded I've ever seen, and it was raining that night which sucked, but it was still a lot fun and I'm so glad we went.

SNOW!!!

So, it snowed and iced this past weekend here in Georgia. I was at home, thank god, because we lost power at my apartment and I would not have been a happy camper. It was really funny though, because all week they were saying it was going to snow over the weekend and I certainly didn't believe them considering it was 65 degrees out when they said it, but I was definitely proven wrong. I got to stay at home an extra day and a half because of it, which I thoroughly enjoyed! The worst part wasn't the snow though, it was the ice. When I got back to my apartment Tuesday night, I slipped and fell and hurt my knee pretty bad. It's in the healing process but still hurts pretty bad. Hopefully the bruise doesn't stay there forever like my softball one. Anyway, don't think we'll see another snow storm in the near future though. It's suppose to be 70 degrees this weekend. But who knows...

The L Word

The L Word sucked as usual this past weekend, which is really a shame considering it was the second to last episode EVER. I think I said something to that effect last week too, and of course, nothing changed. My comments for this week:

1) Still hate Jamie. And I know I said this last time, but I hate her even more now. I'm just so tired of seeing her character. And even worse is that I can't see Tasha and Alice without seeing her too. I understand if they wanna try to make them look really close, but they can't honestly (HONESTLY) be spending all their time together. Why can't we just see Tasha and Alice by themselves for one more time before Alice gets shipped off to jail for killing Jenny.

2) Alice is going to jail for killing Jenny. Ok, I know that didn't actually happen yet, but the synopsis for Leisha Hailey's (Alice) new spin-off, is that she is sent to jail for murdering Jenny Schecter. Really? REALLY?!! WTF?! Who in the world would ever believe that Alice Pieszecki, one of the sweetest people EVER, would murder Jenny Schecter? Accidental killing, maybe. But murder. Why on earth would you ruin a character like that? It just doesn't make any sense. It's bad enough how much they ruined Jenny's character in the last season, but now they are going to F*** with one of the most beloved characters of the entire show...again. (See Dana killing episodes) It just doesn't make sense. At all.

3) Jenny is even more crazy. It's almost like someone has taken over her body and is producing this evil being. I don't really know what else to say about that.

4) Jodi was in this episode. I hate Jodi. Enough said.

On a happier note....

Jennifer Beals looked absolutely stunning this episode. I love when her character doesn't have all that amour on and is trying to be all macho and cold. She got to let loose this episode and it was fun to see. And the dance she did with Laurel Holloman was hot.

I'm happy, and sad, to see The L Word end. What was once a great show, is ending terribly. And the worst part is, it didn't have to. Unlike other shows that just run out of steam after being on the air for so long, this one could have ended GREAT. It's like the writers just didn't care anymore and did whatever they felt like, screw the audience and fans. It just sad.

Movie of the week (since I've seen one every weekend for the last month)

Saw Slumdog Millionaire, again, for the third time this past weekend. Still absolutely amazing.

Elizabeth Mitchell and Lost

So, for a while I decided to give up on the show Lost, but then one of my absolute favorite actress joined the cast in season 3. I have been watching Elizabeth Mitchell since I was 12. I first saw her in Gia, and instead of looking at Angelina Jolie like the rest of the world, I was looking at Elizabeth Mitchell. I found her intriguing. I kind of forgot about her until I saw her again on ER as Dr. Kim Legaspi. Then around that same time she was in the movie Frequency (as a brunette, but that's ok) and I just fell in love with her all over again. She is one of the best actresses out there, but has never been fully recognized until she joined Lost, which is a shame. She was in the pretty successful The Santa Clause 2, with Tim Allen, but never was a true household name, I don't think, until Lost. The only, and I mean ONLY, reason I am currently watching Lost is because of Elizabeth Mitchell. I would worry every episode that they were going to kill her off, and I would have to stop watching. When her character first came appeared everybody hated her, but not me. I loved her! I was so excited to see her on a big show like Lost so she could get her name out there.

The point of all this is that on last night's episode my dream came true. I fully predicted last night's episode over a month ago. Juliet (Elizabeth) and Sawyer are now a couple, three years after the other people left the island. And I so called it. I don't know if they were trying to make it a surprise by not letting us see them together until the end of the episode, but I knew it was coming eventually. Their chemisty was so obvious.

Now. If, the powers that be over at ABC want to keep a fan happy (and watching), they break this couple up. At the end of the episode we see Sawyer reunite with Kate, but I don't care about her. I don't know how long Sawyer and Juliet have been a couple, but they've been living together for the last 3 years. Sawyer and Kate only knew each other for a couple of months. It was lust at first sight. I dare the producers to f*** with this couple, and my emotions, and have Sawyer go back to Kate. I dare them even more to kill off Elizabeth Mitchell, because if they do, it will not be a pretty sight come Thursday, after the show. Do not mess with Juliet and Sawyer! Thank you.

SPRING BREAK 09!

So, I'm going to LA for "Spring Break" (even though I'm no longer in school) next week, and I absolutely can't wait. It's going to be the biggest TELE Kids reunion since we all split up last December. I'm so excited. Plus, I get to see one of my Lost World buddies while I'm there. I can't even begin to show how excited I am. It's going to be so much fun!

I think that's all I got for now.

Note to self: This is why I need to update more frequently.

Until tomorrow.
Peace
