Seriously in love the the Dead Man's Bones album. This is Ryan Gosling's band and the music is spooky and beautiful and haunting and old fashioned. It's quite unique and they have a childrens choir throughout most of it and harpsicords and other fun old timey instruments. :) Check it out if you haven't already.

I want to have Glee's babies. Need to make some icons too. That is all.
I'm going to put this stuff under a cut for those of you who haven't seen the episode and who haven't read the books.

Went and saw District 9 last night at the drive-in. Great movie! I was surprised at how emotional it was. The first movie in a long time that hasn't given everything away in the trailer so there were no preconceived notions going in and I had to go with it as it came. I totally recommend this movie to you all.
Went to see Julie & Julia yesterday with two women I used to work with. I always call them my other moms because they are super sweet and look out for me. The movie was lovely. I mean how can it not be when you have Amy Adams and Meryl Streep in a movie together? Of course I came out of the film extremely hungry. :) I had to go to the store after and buy a baguette and some cheese. Yum!
I'm completely addicted to Big Brother UK. I watch the US one as well but this one is so much better. For one thing I like having it on every night because I don't feel like they are editing everything out like they tend to do on the US one. Also, I like their competitions better and they fact that they don't do the whole head of household thing. So fun!
Was supposed to have the weekend to myself as the parents were going to visit my friends but mom had to go to my grandma's instead and dad stayed here with me. Haven't gotten anything done that I wanted to do. Grandma's back in the hospital. She's been forgetting a lot of stuff and falling easily, partly because she refuses to use a cane or walker. Haven't heard from my mom today so I'm not sure how she's doing.
Read something about Joss Whedon saying Angel could beat Edward Cullen and I it got me thinking, why does one have to be better than the other? I've always been into Vampire Mythology and read Dracula when I was in middle school. I love learning about the myths from all around the world and I guess I'm an equal opportunity Vampire lover. I happen to love Angel, Twilight, True Blood/the books it is based on, Ann Rice, all of that stuff. Let's just all get along. Every Vampire needs love. :)
This became a very long post. I guess I should write more often.

Neil Gaiman and Michael Sheen in a twitter conversation. :) Such fun and yet I always feel like I'm a fly on the wall. They feel like my friends and yet not.
So Very Excited!!

So I've been off the social networking stuff lately, ie: Livejournal and Facebook, so I haven't really read what you lot have been saying about Half Blood Prince and Torchwood. I have a few thoughts on both and thought I would share. :)

So life has been pretty uneventful lately. Haven't really had much to post about. My mom and I went and saw The Proposal last weekend and loved it. I haven't laughed that much in a movie in a long time. Go see it! Also, I did indeed watch Just My Luck simply to watch Chris PIne. I've also recently seen Bottle Shock which was pretty fantastic. Not sure he should ever grow his hair though. :)
Not sure if any of you have heard about the whole Perez Hilton, Will.i.Am debacle but FunnyorDie posted a video based on it that is pretty hilarious. Honestly even if you aren't in the know about the whole silly affair, it's still a pretty funny video. I don't even know much about it other than what I've read in passing headlines but Brekin Meyer does a great impression.

If you are also tired of seeing things about the ridiculous duo named Heidi and Spencer than go over and vote on E!'s website. They are asking people to vote and let them know if they should stop reporting on these two. Maybe if they stop than other websites and magazines will too. Honestly I think I am more disgusted by these two than I am Paris Hilton, and I really dislike Paris. Here's a link, www.eonline.com/uberblog/b129655_should_ be_speidi-free_zone_you_make_call.html

Ok, you know you've had a bit too much Star Trek, Zachary Quinto, and Chris Pine when your cursor slides over "iPhoto" and you read it as "iPinto". My brain is officially mush. :)

Last thing I'm going to post today that's Star Trek related but this Fanvid is so good I had to share it. Not only is it Star Trek but it uses Journey's song "Don't Stop Believin'" sung by the cast of Glee.
It's really good and I'm not even a big fanvid person.

I think it's time I finally come clean and admit that I'm kinda obsessed with the Star Trek movie and Zachary Quinto too. Actually the only reason I continue to watch Heroes is because Sylar is my favorite character and I like watching ZQ play him. It's amazing how suddenly these things come on and how they just catch you unaware. :) I'm even thinking my layout might have to be changed to reflect my new state of mind. I used to watch the original Star Trek when I was little and I watched most of The Next Generation and a few of the other movies but I was never a hard core fan. Now I want to watch everything. It's just crazy. Oh well, it's been a while since I've had a good fandom to be a part of, even if it's just on the sidelines.

I was reading some things about the new season of True Blood and while I enjoy the show a lot, the way they seem like they aren't even following the books any more makes me a bit annoyed. Why buy the rights to a series with the idea of bring to the screen if you are going to change so many major plot points and characters? I've never been one that thinks book adaptations need to be exactly the same, I understand the differences between the written word and the visual image but I still like the essence of the story to be there.
I don't know, just something bothersome to me. I love the show and the books I just wish the show was a bit closer to the story. It's more the character changes that bother me.

Finally found all of Kath & Kim Australia to download. I've seen the first season but was having a hell of a time finding the other seasons. So happy!
Went and saw Night At the Museum 2 today. Movies like that just put me in a happy mood. Love Amy Adams as well. She's so fun and cute.

I really have to go to bed now because I have to be up early but I plan on discussing LOST with you all tomorrow. I thought I was a pretty good season finale and already can't wait for next year. Of course we had more questions but as long as it's all explained in the end I'm just happy being along for the ride. :)
They always say that a full moon makes the crazies come out, well I think a storm makes the bitchiness come out. So many customers were pissy today. They complained about stupid things or were just in a bad mood and I had a migraine (again) so was not in the mood for it. The place where I work is 45 minutes away and there is a campus in my town so a lot of people from my town go to the college I work at. I get so annoyed when they complain about having to drive all the way to the bookstore. I always want to say, "I drive it twice a day almost everyday, it's not really that far." Sometimes you have to drive 45 minutes to get what you need. It sucks but we only have one bookstore so you either make the drive or you don't take classes at this school. You want to get an education? Great but you also need to suck it up sometimes and deal with the annoyances. I get really tired of people not planning accordingly. We not only have a web site with times and notices but you can always call ahead. Not my fault if something isn't going on when you thought it was but didn't check before hand.
Anyway, enough bitching. Just one of those days.
On a better note, excited for the ANTM and Lost finales tonight! I always hate when shows go off for the summer but I also get excited to see what note they end on. I like television way too much.
Think I might go see Star Trek again this weekend. Mom might go with me too. I really like that movie. :)

So both Castle and Chuck have been moved to "safe bet" as far as being renewed. This makes me so happy. I need more Chuck and Nathan Fillion especially since Life has been canceled.
Speaking of Nathan Fillion:
NathanFillion: This is a shout out to MATT LEWIS!! I know you are out there! Accio, another movie!
about 1 hour ago from Tweetie
Dude used Accio in a sentence. He's so super wonderful. At least his public persona is. I have this awful nightmare in which I meet him and he's really a total jack ass. That would just shatter my existence.

Saw Star Trek yesterday and I love it! It was just so much fun right from the opening scene. I've only seen a handful of episodes of the original and some of Next Generation still completely enjoyed it. It was funny and actiony and sad and dramatic, everything you could want. Also, lot's of pretty guys. Go see it!
