24 is on tonight, WHEEEEEEEE! I am so excited about this. I have missed this show so much. Now I keep reading things about the season is "drawing to a close" and crap like that, and it hurts me. 24 can not be done. It can't. It has to keep playing. Every week. The past month without it has hurt me, I can't imagine what this summer will be like. I have to stop dwelling on the negative, I have a new episode tonight, and I'm happy.
Also, I watched the Kief on Leno, and that interview is the cutest ever. All his stories just made me love the Kief even more. *sniff* It was a beautiful thing.
Last night I hung out with some friends and we watched Honey, which has now been elevated to my favourite bad movie ever. It was GREAT! There was so much to snark on, it's hard to know where to start. Wait, I lied, I know where to start... with Jessica Alba saying "I like your flava." I am not kidding. I can't make stuff like this up. Or the whiter than white guy saying "Bitch! Why you gotta play me like that?" or something like that. It's more effective when you can see him doing this little hand action/jumpy thing when he says it. Oh, it was fun. Good, good times. If you haven't seen it yet, get a bunch of friends together and rent it. So snarkilicious.
I'm off to prepare for 24. In honour of it's return, I'm making a fabulous dinner. I am going to have a wonderful night. YAY 24! I've missed you so much baby...

"This life can turn a good girl bad..."
I'm being a bad blogger. I keep not updating. I don't really have a reason why, I just haven't felt like it. I haven't felt like much lately. I've been in a mood. I'm completely willing to blame it on hormones. I've just been down lately. I feel like I don't have enough money, I need a new job or hell, even a career. I'm a bit sick of being the only single girl in a crowd of marrieds and long term relationships. Everything just seems to be getting on my nerves, or annoying me. Most of it I could probably change if I put my mind to it, but that means that I'd have to stop being lazy, and really what fun is that? Sometimes I just wish I had a genie to grant me some wishes. Or better yet, a sugar daddy to buy me a laptop, and fly me out someplace warm so I could lie on the beach and drink margarita's all day long. I really don't think that is asking for too much.
I'm starting to compile a long list of things that I need. And they all require money. Dammit. First, and foremost, I need a laptop. Roomie has decided that she doesn't want me to download things onto her computer anymore. And that is fine, it's her computer and it was nice of her to let me use it for so long. But this has just crystallized my need for a computer of my own. I'd love a desktop, but I just don't have the room for one. At all. Which means a laptop, and damn they're freaking expensive. What is up with that? They're smaller, so shouldn't they be cheaper? That makes sense to me.
I will hopefully be getting some money back from my tax return, but I want to use that to pay off my car loan. I only have about $1000 left, so I'm hoping that my tax return can take off a big hunk of that. I'd really like to be debt free soon, and that is the only thing standing in my way. So I think I might have to ask my parents if I can borrow some money from them. Because, really, owing money to my parents is much different than owing money to a bank. Or a loan shark. Then, a laptop will be mine, hurrah!
I'll stop ranting about my so called woes, and move on to some hot men. Last night, as I was just about to fall asleep, guess what movie came on? Quills. I am powerless to resist that movie, I tell you. I mean, yes I own it on DVD, but it's so much more exciting to just come across it on tv. Plus, the Joaquin looks so super hot in that movie. No one should look that hot in a priests outfit.
Back to work I go... Great big fat Ugh.
Listening to: co-workers chattering
Dear sweet god, how is it possible for one man to be that hot? HOW? OH GOD! He just got Hotter! No, clearly that's it... this is the hottest he can *GASP* *THUD* *DIES*
And that my friends is why I'm not a movie reviewer. Taking Lives was very good, I really liked it. But it was all about the sexy. Don't ever forget that. Be prepared to drool. I mean, not only was there the Kief, looking like that ---->, but there was Ethan and Olivier and Angelina. Plus Montreal is so beautiful. So go and see it. Just bring something that you can drool on.
I had so much fun this weekend with Rach, Kris and Jenai. It was awesome to see you guys again. We have to get together more often. Damn this all living in different parts of the world. We need to fix that.
I'm off to watch the second episode of Wonderfalls which has finished downloading. And Kris, I love it. She's so snarky! And the boy is very cute. Random Canadian-ness about the first episode. The UPS guy and his Lesbian ex-wife used to star together on a Canadian show about a hockey team. She was blond and looked much better. He looked exactly the same. /randomCanadian-ness

"Have you ever been all messed up?"
My bastard Thrills show has been postponed. To a Saturday. GRRRR! I (usually) work Saturday's. Now this means I will specifically have to ask for it off. I am bitter. And they've changed the venue too, to a bigger, crappier one. I'm so annoyed.
But enough of that. I got new cds last week, and I love them. Well, I love the two that I've actually listened to. I was at school voice tracking my radio show, and the guy that runs the place just pointed at a box and said "take anything you want." Dude. I cleaned up. I got the Shins, The Church, Cooper Temple Clause, The Frames, Hayden, The Coral and a few more. WHEEEEE! The Church has been in my car player non stop, I've had the Shins singing me to sleep at night in the discman, and I'm still playing the Caesars album in my stereo. I love new music. So fun.
I'm really looking forward to going to visit Miss Rach this weekend. I'm so glad that Jenai and Kristin can make it too. We will have so much fun. If only the rest of you could make it too. One day we will find a way to all get together. It will happen.
Kris - I've got the VCR set to tape the repeat of the Wonderfalls opener tomorrow night. I'm looking forward to seeing it, I've heard so many good things.
In other tv watching news, I am OD'ing on Farscape. I'm somewhere in the third season now. Space is running it five days a week. Which, I would just like to point out, adds 5 more hours of tv watching to my already very full schedule. It's hard to find time to watch it all. John being really hot helps a lot. But still. I watched three episodes today. It's like a part time job!

"Pictures I tried to forget..."
I've been bad. But every time I went to update, the hotness of all the men would stop me. Those are some smokin hot pics. My favourite is the Jensen pic. I miss him. I miss Alec. Hell, if this continues I might just miss Dark Angel. If that happens, please please please smap me. All over the place.
So I've been a sicky, which is bad because it makes me all whiney and it gives me the attention span of a gnat. Plus I've been working a lot. Which is good, because I need money. But it's bad because, you know, work.
Work got to be too much with the illness, so I took a sick day on Wednesday. I decided I needed a day at home to rest and relax. And eat. But there wasn't any food in the apartment. I also needed some medication. So off I went to the drug store. Guess who the first person I see when I get there is? One of the guys I work with. Which is bad, since I just called in sick. And I was sick and everything, but it looks bad to be out and about when you are too sick to be at work. So I explained the whole "I'm sick and getting drugs" angle, and he went off on his merry way, and I got all my cough drops and Nyquil and stuff.
Then I went to the grocery store, which is right next to the movie store. So clearly I had to go and rent some movies. I got School of Rock which I loved because Jack Black is wonderful. I also got Mona Lisa Smile. I have no clue why I rented that. I had no desire what so ever to see it, but when I was in the movie store it just started singing to me. It was kind of upsetting actually. So I rented that too, and it was meh. It was exactly what I thought it would be. Also, I wanted to punch Kristen Dunst every time she came on screen. Every time. I hate her. In everything. Saw the preview for Spiderman 2. Yawn. No desire to see that whatsoever, which I'm guess has to do with the Dunst Hate and the Toby Hate. Hard to watch a movie when you hate the two leads. Oh, which reminds me. A friend lent me Vanilla Sky and told me that I had to watch it. But, since I hate Cruise and Cruz I've been putting it off. Is there any reason why I should watch it? Anyone? Bueller?
Still haven't seen this week's Without a Trace. Will probably get to that tomorrow. My love for Navy: NCIS grows with leaps and bounds with every show I see. Please watch it. Please. I need more people to squee with dammit. I miss 24. It needs to be back. Alias was meh, as I've come to expect from it.
I think that's it for now... back to work for me.
Listening to: Newsroom chatter
New layout! WHEEEEEEEE! Isn't it the prettiest thing you've ever seen? I love it to pieces. Thanks so much to the wonderful Kristin for all her hard work, especially considering that she was sick. Thanks again babe, you are the best ever! *smooches*
In other news, I bought books today. Even though I really shouldn't be spending money. But they were calling to me. I could hear them going "Steph! Buy me! Buyyyyyy meeeeee!" I was powerless to resist. I grabbed Nick Hornby's Songbook which I've been lusting after for months, but have never found in a bookstore. I can't wait to read this. Trixie - I'd be happy to lend it to you when I'm done. I also got this book called Getting Over Jack Wagner. How can you resist a book with that title? I mean, Jack Wagner! The book starts with a quote between Robin and Scorpio on General Hospital! How could I not buy this book? It might be crap, but I had to get it.

"All the hearts that touch your cheek..."
Mnemo, you'll be so proud of me. I got Ryan Adam's Love is Hell part 1 today. And I love it. I'm sorry that I didn't believe you when you told me that I'd like it. I'm sorry that I was closed minded about good music, because that just isn't like me. But I'm listening now, and I love it. So thank you for making me buy it. Also, I got it for $6.99! YAY! I think it was supposed to be about $13, but someone put the wrong sticker on it. That made me especially happy. Nothing like robbing a music store.
The Stills have a concert the day after the BRMC/Rapture show. That is evil. There isn't a chance in hell that I can get the time off work to go to three different concerts in one week. So there will be no Stills in my future, which is a very sad thing.

"Fades out like a dance..."
I got my hair cut today, and can I just say that I look so cute? Because I do. I look awesome, and I'm very happy with myself right now. Even if there wasn't any NewKief tonight, that's ok. And sure SVU was basically Elliotless, which is a crime, but I have cute hair. I've got to take the good with the bad.
Speaking of good? Navy NCIS. I am so in love with this show right now. It's just tight. Well written, well acted, and hot men. I'm sorry One, I know I'm disappointing you with my relapse into Michael Weatherly love, but he's yummy. I love his character. Mark Harmon is enjoyable, all the supporting characters kick ass. It just shows that all quality television must be on Tuesday nights.
In tonight's ep, they even had my favourite guest star of all time on, Rudolf Martin. He is awesome. He was Nicki Krasinkov on Beggars and Choosers (damn I miss that show), the guy who joined the mile high club with Mandy on 24 just before she killed him for his ID badge (mind you he later came back playing his own lookalike), AND he tried, and came damn close, to killing Buffy. For that alone he deserves an award. Plus, he's hot and all. Not to mention the smokin accent. *THUD* Accents kill me.
In random concert news, there are too many of them coming up. They need to stop. I only have so much money, and I seem to be spending it. I've got British Sea Power next week, and then it's looking like The Thrills and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club/the Rapture TWO days later. Plus, we're thinking about seeing Rufus Wainwright too. Where is my Sugar Daddy when I need him?
Also, expect to see a new layout here soon. The lovely and talented Kristin is working on what may be my best and hottest layout yet. Thanks again babe!
