Yeah, Yeah Thomas. I know...I'm a HUGE liar! I said I would blog back in May, but I didn't. I guess I was just too emotionally scarred from the OTH finale. ;) However, I figured it was time for me to blog again. I actually remember when I used to do this regularly and would tease Anna mercilessly for never blogging. Who would have thought I'd turn into her? :p [ducks] Anyway, down to business...some important things to discuss!
New Layout: Yup, it's getting to be that time again. While I loved my OTH layout to pieces (even though the show is pissing me off more than ever), I think it's time for a change. I anticipate the layout going up by August (right Anna? ;) ). I have an idea for the next one, but I'm not saying anything right now...but it won't be that much of a surprise. I have to work on a sketch though and see if it can be pulled off the way I want it.
Harry Potter: Yeah, so we're like 2 days from HP-day and there are spoilers/foilers running around? Please don't post that shit near me. I thought about reading them a million times, but then I said no way. They're probably fake anyway because how can there be spoilers with the injunction and the gag orders? I'm not going to get riled up over nothing. I'll read...then I'll get riled up. Ron/Hermione better become a reality or I'll feel like my intelligence was insulted for 5 books and 5 years. Hopefully, that won't be the case and on Saturday I'll be very, very happy! I had 2 copies (one for me and one for Shauna) pre-ordered since January from Amazon and I can't wait to read!!
Traveling: I really, really wanted to visit Anna out in CA this summer, but I just couldn't afford it. Plane fare was out of this world high and I wouldn't have enough money to do it right...like go down to LA and stuff like that...so hopefully, maybe in the fall I can go. I'll have to work something out. I may be going to Wilmington in October...but that's kind of up in the air as well. It all depends on when the group is going and how much it's going to cost me. I guess it's all okay cause I'm going to Florida soon anyway. Man, I need a tan.
School: Finally, those bastards are making things easier. My last year and financial aid actually got it right this time. I'm so happy. I'm hoping I'll get the school I want for student teaching in the spring too. Man...time sure is flying!
24, OTH & the New TV Season: Well, pretty soon all our favorite series will be going back to film and we'll start getting our first taste of what the new seasons will be like. I'm so excited for Supernatural! I've seen the pilot and it's amazing! I've convinced so many people to start watching 24 this summer, it's unbelievable (thanks to the Tony/Michelle love). I'm dubbing Season 4 tapes for like 3 people. I'm on my second batch right now. It sucks that we have to wait so long for Season 5, but I know it will be worth the wait. Just leave T/M alone please! OTH, on the other hand, pissed me off last season. It's like everyone forgot how to freaking write...with the exception of a handful of episodes. Haley was barely in it and when she was she was acting stupid. Nathan started acting like a pod person and all the foreshadowing with Dan/Deb/Chris went nowhere. I'm giving this show one more chance. The next time it pisses me off with N/H...that's it. Mark better realize what a goldmine this couple is or there is no way it's going to survive in a new time slot by itself on Wednesdays. No more Gilmore Girls to cushion it...no it's all by itself. The premiere better impress me...or I don't know if I really want to stick around for the whole season. Other than that, I'm also really psyched for "Gilmore Girls". I've rediscovered my love of the show when Shauna bought the DVDs and we just marathoned them. We've also recently just got into the FX series "Rescue Me". We happened to catch the end of one episode last month because of...if you can believe this...a really cool song (Rubyhorse "Fell on Bad Days") and then we ended up taping the first few episodes of the second season, while we rented season one on DVD from Blockbuster. Great show...though it's not for the squeamish and great music.
Alright, I guess that's all there is to say. Oh wait...FU Emmy voters! How could you snub Lauren Graham again? GRRR ARGH!
