Italy here I come!

Yes!!! Today after months and months and months of planning Kristen and I finally bought our tickets to Italy!!!

A Hangover never felt this good!

We went and saw The Hangover last night, I’m very pleased to say that it was as funny as the trailer! I was a little worried that it wouldn’t live up to the hilarity of the trailer like most comedies, but holy crap it surpassed the trailer! I laughed like a loon most of the entire movie! I wish that the theater would have turned the volume up, hello a comedy in a theater full of people it’s gets a little hard to hear what they are saying. Is it wrong to know want to return to Vegas and do a lot more drinking!?!

Youtube crazy!

I have gone a little mad recently. I am obsessed with searching for old clips of couples that I liked on soap operas on youtube!! It all started innocently enough, Trav and I were talking about how we missed that awful, entertaining and enjoyable soap Sunset Beach, so I thought I would look up scenes of my favorite couple from that show Ben & Meg, and that is when I fell down the rabbit hole. How could I forget Terror Island and the interdiction of Derek Ben’s evil twin! Or Ben’s “dead” wife Maria showing up at his and Meg’s wedding. Or how he hilariously pronounced Maria’s name Marier. I spent an excessive amount of time searching for clip of Ben and Meg, then I thought “wait a minute there were more couples I liked on different shows!”

Then I started looking for vintage Harley and Mallet on Guiding Light, oh god how I loved (no I still love him) Mark Derwin! Who could forget the time that Harley was locking in a root cellar and almost froze to death but Mallet wouldn’t give up the search and finally found her. Of course he had to take there clothes off so that he could use his body heat to warm her up this leading to them making love for the first time. I actually remember watching and rewatching the tape of that when it was originally on! I was sad that I couldn’t actually find that much stuff on these two.

Whoa what about Roman/John & Isabella on Days of our lives! Next up was Cruise of Deception, who could forget this crazy miniseries!?!? I only got to watch a couple of clips of this before I made myself turn off the computer and go to bed because it was 1:45am and I had to get up for work in 4 hours. I did get to see Roman/John running around covered in torn formal wear and covered in soot (why is he covered in soot sure there was a bomb on the boot, but hello you were thrown in to the ocean before you washed ashore I think it would have come off!) with a Rambo like headband!!

I am so ready to continue the search tonight! I have thought of more couples, Max & Luna on One life to live, Brenda & Sonny on General Hospital!!!

More sleep please!!!

Tired, Tired, Tired!! I need to not stay out until 1am when I have to get up at 5:45am to get ready for work!! I’m not sure any amount of caffeine will help this morning. The only thing that I think is going to help is that later today I will be out in the sunshine kayaking with friends!

How can you not love Journey?!?!!!

Don't stop believing!

I know it looks the same as the clip below, it's not.

Glee Rocked!

What a great new show!! I totally excited for the fall but also bummed because I thought it was going to be on this summer!

Enjoy the entire pilot episode!

How I have missed you "Alex Trebek"!!

God I LOVE Tom Hanks!!!

Not quite as good as Dick in a box, but close!

This one was also pretty funny!

YES!!!

I'm so pleased that the 2 new shows that I got attached to are actually being renewed!

Congrats to:

Dollhouse

and

Castle

Dollhouse

I'm sad that Dollhouse will most likely not be picked up for a season 2. The last 5 or so episodes, especially the last 2 were fantastic!! If only it had this awesome of a start!

Star Trek ROCKED!!

We went and saw Star Trek last night and it was GREAT! What a fun movie! Everyone enjoyed it, even my mom who was a fan of the original, I didn't like the original I am a TNG girl myself. I loved the movie and would totally see it again. I did wonder if JJ Abrams watched a lot of Joss Whedons amazing series "Firefly", Star Trek had some of the same feel; filming through thing, shooting at odd angels and lens flares, but JJ did get a little to flare happy, but all in all outstanding movie!!

Carmel's Birthday

Tonight was Carmel's birthday and to celebrate we all went out to eat Hot Pot (my first time). It was fun and tasty, who doesn't like to cook their own food at their table on a cook stove!?! One side is regular broth and the other side was a insanely hot broth, needless to say I didn't eat that one.
Next it was on to Snoqualmie Casino for the Lea Salonga concert. The only thing I knew about Lea was that she was the voice of Jasmine in Aladdin and that was only because Carmel had told me that. I didn't know what to expect from the show. I was pleasantly surprised by what a great show it was. Lea has a great voice, it was like I was on Broadway, which is good because she did sing songs from the different Broadway shows she has sung in.

Jenny, Carmel and Carla then waited in a straight line for Lea to sign their pictures.

They even got to take a picture with Lea.

Crazy website

Thanks Kristen for sending me the link to this crazy website! I can't stop reading it!

What you can blog from your phone? Hells yeah you can!!

Twilight time

I have read the Twilight saga, I enjoyed Twilight, hated most of New Moon (not a fan of Jacob), Eclipse was okay but all the crap with Jacob and his pack, boring, Breaking Dawn totally gross ick factor. After seeing previews for the movie version I was less than excited, it looked so cheesy!! So needless to say I didn’t rush to the theaters in my Team Edward T-shirt (which I don’t own) ready to lap up the Edward and Bella drama. Last night I finally watch Twilight, I found it semi enjoyable, but mostly hilarious! I almost fell off the couch a couple of times I was laughing so hard!

The scenes that really killed me:

- The fact that when we first met Eric at school I was thinking “I don’t remember a gay guy in the book”.
- Edwards’s hair!!! What the hell is that thing on his head?
- Jacob’s awful wig
- Edwards face when he caught a whiff of Bella for the first time, come on that was just pitiful!
- Edward and Bella’s first fast passed running scene. Did they just have a picture of a mountain and a picture of Edward and Bella on a popsicle stick that they moved up the mountain?
- Edward “sparkling” in the sun, seriously did they have any CGI money because that just looked like a lot of glitter lotion.
- The angsty filled scene as Edward explains to Bella what he is, it was so angsty that he couldn’t stand still or keep from randomly climbing trees.
- Jasper’s insanely petrified looking face the entire movie, I know he is fighting the urge to feed, but come on!
- The crazy overacting that was done in the final fight scene between Edward and James.

I thought they did a pretty good job being faithful to the book but I did wonder why they changed:

- Why did they have the bad vampires killing so close to and then in Forks?
- Why didn’t they have Bella cooking for Charlie all the time? What was up with going to the diner? Not having her do all the cooking is going to make her reason for not wanting to leave him because he can’t take care of himself hard to sell.

Things that I liked:

- I liked the casting of Bella, Kristen Stewart did a good job.
- I loved Bella’s lullaby.
- They mostly got the emotion from the book into the movie.
