i can't believe this actually passed! it wouldn't have if the counties around seattle weren't so populated. i was told by at least 3 people to vote against it. hello, rude?! don't tell me how to vote and don't assume that i don't support same sex relationships of any kind. i don't want to get into who told me not to vote for it, but think about the group of people who were blamed for ca's prop 8 (or whatever it was called) failing. i can now understand how that came about.

oops, that cut should say a melrose place casting spoiler...

( may be a casting spoiler if you are as out of the loop as me )

i've only seen the first ep. i planned on catching up online, but it's just not working for me! and it's very annoying. no vampire diaries, no 90210, hit and miss with one tree hill and gossip girl.

ok, got it all figured out.

mon:
8: how i met your mother
one tree hill

9: gossip girl

Tues:
8: 90210
Biggest Loser

9: Melrose Place

Wed:
9: the beautiful life
Glee

Thurs:
8: Vampire Diaries
Bones

9: Supernatural
Fringe
The Office

Fri:
9: Ugly Betty

Sun:
9: Desperate Housewives

I imagine Lost, 24 and Friday Night Lights will all return midseason. All cw shows aside from supernatural will be watched online. shows in red are going to be given a try.

I got so excited to steal this i forgot to note who i stole it from. *sigh*

What are your top 5 John Hughes movies?

Mine are -

The Breakfast Club
Sixteen Candles
Pretty In Pink
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Ferris Bueller's Day Off

 i love the colors and the way it kind of wraps. why must i buy appliances. hehe. i think it would be perfect for the party!

i wrote this in an email and figured i may as well post it here since it's some of the stuff i have been thinking and discussing lately.  this comes from a comment a friend made about being a bit tired of hearing about michael jackson.

as for michael jackson, he's no different than elvis, the beatles, kurt cobain, etc. in his iconess. but he is the first icon who has died during this computer generation. when elvis died there was barely tv. when john lennon died there was barely computers let alone the internet. and when kurt cobain died there was mtv. so the mass media and media outlets plus all the internet social sites make  the coverage/discussion of mj's death all seem way bigger than it is. but really, he's getting all the same attention the rest of them did. i remember mtv's non-stop 24 hour coverage of kut cobain. i was disapointed in mtv's coverage of jackson. they may not actually play videos on mtv anymore, but that doesn't mean they couldn't have given him a well deserved tribute. just because the last half of mj's life wasn't as dynamic as the first, doesn't mean he shouldn't receive the recognition he deserves. i mean, he does have the #1 selling album of all time. ever. after all these years. it will never be beaten. why? because even if there were an artist as original as michael jackson (which is impossible at this point) because of illegal downloading that album would never be able to sell as many albums as "thriller". 

on an non -mj related topic, my bff jessica had her baby! so cute! his name is adam and he has a mohawk! 
 

i'm going to blink-182, weezer and fall out boy in september. if we can get tickets when they go on sale next week, that is. i hear they are going fast. i missed out on both blink and weezer in the past cause of work. this is not happening again! totally sucks though cause the concert's across the state. which means spendy!

ok, since i couldn't write anything else on that last post without it wanting to be under a cut i shall continue in a new entry.

so far, next season, i'm only going to give the new melrose place and the vampire diaries a try. and glee. let me know if i'm possibly missing something great!

i still have to catch up one tree hill, ugly betty, desperate housewives and lost.

speaking of lost, does anyone else get a lost vibe from that missing air france plane? especially now that the pieces weren't for that plane! and what plane did they belong to? how freaking awful!

a comment about the exit of chad michael murray and hilary burton from oth. i don't think the show will survive without them. i'm not a leyton or peyton fan. so i don't care too much. but i know i'm going to miss the relationship that has grown between lucas and nathan. and i will be sooooo sad without the bff of hayley and lucas. i always wanted them together, but i do like haley and nate. so it's a touch conflict. but i love haley and lucas as bff. plus jamie is going to miss his uncle lucas. *sigh* damn budget cuts! again, i have not seen the last couple eps, so please don't spoil! i do wonder if they will get a proper send off though.

I'm trying very hard to catch up on tv shows. here's a bit on what i've seen. spoilers for those who are behind like me! 

( gossip girl, the office, 90210, supernatural )

no, i'm not catholic, but i like to participate in lent. it's a fun challenge. what should i give up this year?

i'm thinking the net(aside from email cause my inbox is already out of control. and online banking, bill pay, etc for obvious reasons.) but i would miss you all dearly! and catching up on 46 days of flist would be a bitch! not to mention chatting about tv!

i thought about tv, but since i'm getting rid of cable for awhile anyway i must cherish it while i can.

i went kosher one year with a friend. it was challenging and fun.  could so something like that.

i have done soda, alcohol, etc a few times. and that's always been fun.

lent started today, so i need to decide something quickly. any ideas?

i have a meme to do, but don't know that i have time. i'll return with it asap! 

as usual, i want to go! but i probably won't. no one else ever wants to go and it's hella expensive. maybe i'll just go and hang out with rainn wilson. hehe.

does anyone donate plasma?  a lady i work with did it yesterday and she told me how much you can make a month. gotta say, it sounds pretty good to me! i've donated blood, but i always get this awful bruise on my forearm, so i haven't done it in awhile. so i'm wondering if anyone here has done it and can share some info with me?

angelina jolie was/is not the first person to wear a dress backward cause she thought it would look better. so don't even go there, e!

rachel bilson, anyone.

and probably someone even before that! 

lord help me, i don't actually hate the new taylor swift song. love song, or something.

ok, as an early b-day present to me i have an icon request from friday night lights.
( behind the cut cause of spoilers. ep 3.02 )

so friday night lights returns tomorrow! omg! so excited! i was unaware of this. there was an article in the paper this morning and it made my day! but then i came to the crashing reality that i haven't finished season 2! eeek! i started watching it when it was airing. then the whole strike thing. i stopped watching tv at that point. some shows i caught up on. i couldn't bring myself to watch fnl cause i was scared it wasn't going to come back this season. then i bought the dvds and started watching them but never finished. then there was that whole direct tv fiasco thing. so i was even more scared. i started thinking if i watched them to prepare for the possibilty they would be on tv now i would jinx it and it would never return! so now i have to watch the majority of the season before it aires tomorrow! 

i hate that this wonderful, awesome, bestshowonearth! doesn't get the attention it deserves. even the article in the paper was singing it's praises. and of course mentioned the best, most realistic couple in the history of tv: coach and mrs. coach! 

i'll have to look at the dvds to find out how much i need to watch. but i'm sure there are a few eps!

new office tonight!!! speaking of that, i need to change my office desk calendar. heh. while i'm at i'll share the quote of the day: Ryan wants everything in our company to be about e-mails and IM's. But I think he is forgetting about the original instant message: letters attached to baskets of food. -Michael.

i started a new account to keep track of my list of 101 things to do in 1001 days(mission101_2009</lj> ). my user name is evrlngfoo</lj>  and i would totally appreciate any and all of you who friend me and support me. obviously i'm going to keep this journal for daily ramblings. but that lj will be used to track my goals for my list and just keep track of what i'm doing to make my life something i am actually happy with. plus it makes flisting the afore mentioned  community way easier! thanks you guys! you're awesome!

( ...now that i've actually watched 24 )

did i share my best buy story here? i don't think i did. i'm wondering this cause i'm gonna have to go there this week because: on thanksgiving i ordered my friend 2 seasons of entourage cause they had them for sale at 9.99 for black friday. awesome deal! i got her s2 and s3 part 1. well, turns she ended up with 3 s2 and 2 s3 part 1 for christmas. argh! so i gave her my receipt for the online order so she could exchange them. she took the dvds and receipt to the store and they told her since i ordered them online and not her all they could do was credit my card. wtf?! they wouldn't give her instore credit or do an exchange for something else right then and there. so she called me and told me what happened and i told her i'd take care of it. it took them 5 DAYS to credit back my 20 bucks. now i have to go to best buy and buy s4 of entourage since it's on sale for 20 bucks this week. my gawd! i thought i was done christmas shopping! 

anyway, i was so flipping annoyed cause the credit didn't show up right away, or even the next day and i had nothing to prove that i didn't get it or that i was entitled to it. so frustrating.

thanks to everyone who recommended books to me! i totally appreciate it and feel free to keep the ideas coming! 

ok, i'm totally in a book slump. nothing inspires me to read. it's been so long since i've read a good book. so i need some recomendations. if you've read anything amazing, or just good, lately please let me know! 

So I put together a list of 100 of my favorite 90's songs. I know I'm missing some. But really, a list of Foo Fighters would be lacking variety. So if you come up with a song I don't have, let me know! Obviously there are way more Pearl Jam, Green Day, The Offspring, etc, that I wanted to include, but there are just too many good songs! And I thought of a Toadies after i finished, now I don't know where to put it. Maybe next time I'm bored and adventurous I'll do 101-200. Thanks for reading and comments are greatly appreciated. I have most of these on cd, but I know there is a great song that I have forgotten about over the years.

( the 90's rocked )
