Staying???

Yea, Cragen said something like he's here to fill in during the case and then stay on for a few weeks and Finn was all, "Do I need to be worried about my job?" So pissed.

Obviously it's at the docks.

OMG as soon as I saw that "every sound in the city" guy I was like "Lauren's going to be pissed." I didn't get that he was here to stay though. UGH. He will ruin the show unless he gets a new personality fast.

WTF!

I wasn't planning on writing again tonight...Um...so I just watched SVU and OMG! Kathleen arrested, OLIVIA going to IAB and possibly leaving the force? But yay for sexiness with the FBI guy. I mean all of them definitely did deserve to get called on the crap they did but this is all at once! And Cragen taking the fall? But I love him! But the worst part of all is the STUPID, I CAN HEAR EVERY SOUND IN THE CITY GUY is here for KEEPS?!?!?!?! Noooooooooooooo!!! *scampers off to hit head against wall or learn every sound in the state of NY (I'll show him!)*

Got Cake?

Stop farting! I love it!

Aaaand I FINALLY got my Cake 'n' Shake from Cold Stone and right before I tasted it I was thinking..."should I have gotten the large?" Maybe it isn't as good as I remember"...Then I tasted it and it was AMAZING!!! I was so excited that I almost called you, but I was driving.

Oh I also got the EW special edition which is all Idol "Collector's Edition" in the mail yesterday, so you can have that if you want. I haven't been able to bring myself to open it yet.

I got lost on my way to my aunt's house today because my gps said that the street didn't exist...stupid machine...

Smelly NJ

You can give your dog benadryl?

Anyway, I was looking at mushycat.com, that site where we got our buttons, and they have one that says "Dear NJ, Stop farting. Love, NYC." lol

Extraordinary Happenings

So I am not up to all that much today...except still not being unpacked. My aunt invited me over for lunch today so at least I will get to do that which should be nice. Hopefully my grandma and grandpa will be there bc I hear that they are both sick (colds and infections nothing too serious).

Well I have certainly been a movie watching this weekend...Dude, Where's My Car?, Shrek 3, Casino Royale, Friday Night Lights, and soon I will finish Night at the Museum.

Is there anything good on tv tonight??? I don't think so. Although I think that Brothers & Sisters is starting the season over which may be fun to watch...

Other than that nothing all that extraordinary is going on...Cory is still a nutcase so I gave him some Benadryl so he's relaaaaaxed.

ttyl!

ARRRR

I just saw the new pirates movie! It was so good! Captain Barbosa is the most awesome thing ever! =D

This Week's EW in a Nutshell

Ok so here is all that is newsworthy from this week's Entertainment Weekly:

Kate Walsh is getting married!

The Heroes "Origins" thing that they are doing while on hiatus is based off of the Twilight Zone (in that each is a contained tale about a certain character) This makes much more sense about the whole voting thing...

Also Lost is returning in January? I think that I remember you saying something about that...

They say that a lot of times the ratings on the tv shows aren't accurate because of DVRs since people don't watch the show the same night...they have decided to use a figure that counts anytime that the show is watched within 3 days for next season which gives them a better picture of the viewership and the companies that pay for commercials only have to pay for how many people end up watching them since the whole point of a DVR is to FF. They also said that daylight savings time (which was 3 weeks earlier) caused more people to go outside earlier which disturbed the viewship...huh.

Winners and losers...
#1 CBS (12.2 million viewers a week)
#2 FOX
#3 ABC
#4 NBC
#5 CW (3.2 million)
Brothers & Sisters was listed as one of the reasons that ABC was successful while The Nine was listed as a failure...Of course Justice is listed as a failure for FOX, the winners being Idol and Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? (*gasp*) Although FOX is hoping to improve their pre-emptions from baseball lowering the interruptions from 14 (prev. 26!). Studio 60 has officially been cancelled (the last few episodes begin airing this week). ANTM is considered to be the key anchor for the CW...wow

On "The Must List" #1 is Debra Messing in "The Starter Wife" which they describe as: "USA's new dramedy brings the Will & Grace alum back to the small screen--and her vivacious performance as a spurned LA wife makes us remember how much we've missed her." I am so watching this!
Also on the list is "The Princess Squad" from Shrek.

The new Pirates is given a C.

New Trailers:
The Bourne Ultimatum
Bee Movie
Superbad
The Golden Compass

For what to watch this week on Sat (the 2nd) HBO is showing "John Tucker Must Die"...to which EW says, "In early June, even the pay networks stop trying." HA.

Last but certainly not least bc they are my favorite part of the magazine...SOUND BITES! This is the first week that I have ever seen all of them...
"NBC announced Monday it will once again renew its long-running drama L&O. Which, as near as I can tell, is about a kindly old grandfather who teaches cynicism to a series of supermodels." ~SNL
"Oh, please don't become one of those 'I had a heart attack, let me espress my every thought' types." ~Gilmore Girls (I miss Emily already!)
"It's like the first 15 minutes of Extreme Home Makeover." ~Brothers & Sisters
"Once I am officially regional manager, my first order of business will be to demote Jim Halpert. So I will need a new number two. My ideal choice? Jack Bauer. But he is unavailable. Fictional. And overqualified." ~The Office (Fall seems so far away....)

Happy Friday!

Lost, Derevko, 24, and the failure of TV as a whole

I was trying to figure out what we were learning about Jack in this eppy. I mean nothing specific like his tattoos...

I love the Irena Derevko school of mothering! I was thinking that that was such a special bonding moment.

I thought that the 24 finale was good but not good enough. There really wasn't a cliff hanger except...what now? I loved the scene when we find out that Chloe is pregnant (I knew it: I said to my dad do you think she's pregnant? And I also thought that she was acting weird the whole sppy but my dad didn't see it.) I hope that next season is better!

I just got my EW today and they have a lot of info about the tv lineups and why they failed this year...even Heroes lost 2 million viewers...so I will fill you in on the article after I read it. TTYL!

Lost, 24

Juliet was joking about the aliens because she knows that the Losties assume some crazy stuff about the others. I am very sad about Charlie, but I think his death was one of the more meaningful ones on the show so I can live with it. (Unlike Eko's death). I actually guessed that it was a flash forward in the first scene of the flash forward. I don't know why exactly, it just felt like it would make more sense and be cooler if it were in the future after they were rescued. Plus we've seen so much of Jack's pre-crash timeline that I couldn't make sense of when it would have happened in the past. Pretty lucky guess though. I don't think it's Sawyer in the coffin because Kate sounded like she wouldn't have even considered going to the funeral. It's hard to tell though because the actors may not know who is supposed to be in it. (Hell, the producers might not know).

Oh and some great lines in this episode too:
"I am a dentist. I am not Rambo."
"Do you want to help me tie him up?" Rousseau to Alex. Someone on the TWoP boards called this the "Irina Derevko school of mothering" lol.
Oh and when Charlie's tied up and yells: "It's Charlie! Tell him I say 'hi'!"

I forgot to ask what you thought of the 24 finale! I thought it was depressing in the end, but good.

Lost Season Finale...

That job thing is ridiculous!

I finished Lost last night and OMG! It was AMAZING! I loved that instead of a flashback they did what would happen if they left the island. When Kate first came out I was trying to thing of reasons why they would pretend that they didn't meet. But man that was crazy...who do you think died? Sawyer? (I mean in the casket.) I am sure that you are still mourning the loss that is Charlie but at least he died for a cause and to save Desmond's life. How crazy is it that Naomi is not sent by Penny??? Also, my bitterness for Lost is alive and well because when Juliet was talking about the runway and she said, "for the aliens" I was just like-you have GOT to be kidding me!

I LOVE shopping for flowers so I hope that you have fun with that and apparently going to a bar in the middle of the day :)

Shrek, jobs, and flowers

Hey

Shrek the Third was really cute and funny. Worth seeing. Don't want to spoil anything for you though.

Also, I got an email of jobs from careerbuilder.com today, and I often don't even look at those, but today I did. The job I interviewed for is back and advertised as "reopening the search," as well as now being $11.50 an hour. WTF. They told me they hired someone. Maybe they did and that person bailed on them. If it's that they just didn't find anyone I'm not that surprised because the lady does not know how to interview. She basically told me she didn't want to hire me and then didn't ask me any questions about why I thought I was qualified. Oh well. I don't think editing is my thing, but it would have been nice to have a job.

Today I'm going out somewhere with my mom, grandpa, and Aunt Mary to go get flowers for the garden. And go to a bar apparently because that's what my grandpa does to socialize. ttyl!

Checking in

Hey there! Sorry I forgot about these blogs but now I have them properly bookmarked so I will check it often. I've just been unpacking and stuff. I don't even know how to go about getting a job and I don't like to think about it. Did you see the finale of Lost? OMG it was amazing and so confusing. I won't say any more for now. I'll talk to you later!

ETA: I watched the first episode of "On the Lot," which I wasn't going to watch, because there is a guy on there from Owego, NY, which is in my area. Pretty cool!

Lounging Around

So what's up with you? How is the job search going? I am just chilling and working on "unpacking" which is code for sitting on my ass. I just watched the "Heroes" finale (spoiler): How cute were Micah and Molly? I really need to start reading HP before the last book comes out. I can't wait to see you for the Colbert Report in a week and a half. I can't really think of anything exciting to write about. I am playing the game Cradle of Rome which is really addicting and last night I watched "A Few Good Men" which I thought that I hadn't seen but apparently I had...yea that's the second time that has happened since I have been home. I also watched "Rumor Has It" and then realized that I had see the movie. And...tonight's Thursday so don't forget!

Made it Home (Alive)

Just writing to let you know that I made it home. There was a ton of traffic so I didn't get back until 9:30 at night but my family waited until I got there to have dinner which was nice. I saw two rainbows on the way home which was pretty cool bc I can't remember the last time that I saw one. Well anywho I am getting ready to watch "Brothers and Sisters" but first I am watching "The Pacifier" so my night is going to be pretty exciting--except that Justin is going to Iraq so I will probably be crying before it is over. Talk to you later!

Keeping in Touch

So I am sitting here, thinking about tomorrow--the day that our senior year together will be over and we set out into the "real world" and I am sad because I know that I am going to miss you. So I think that we should definitely make plans to stay in touch because we are both going to be busy this summer and over the next year as I work in school. I am thinking that we should pick a night during the week and call around 10pm. Any night is good for me...Thursday? I think that we should also try to touch base online through the blog/AIM and of course the TV predictions! I can try to spend some time each day doing this so that we get to "talk" a little more often. I think that we should also try to plan some visits or something--obviously first off would be the Colbert Report so maybe you could come up Tuesday night (I get out of class at 9 I think but my parents would be home so you could just hang out in my room.) Then we could go into the city during the day and figure out stuff to do which would be fun. Then it is up to you when you would want to leave (I leave for work each morning at 7:45 so you could always just leave at the same time or sleep in and just shut the door behind you.) Well, that's all for now--let's decide what we want to do about keeping in touch and then we should be good to go...cradle to grave...
