Happy birthday to jenah! Hope you had a fab day. :D

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there. Hope you had a wonderful day with your families. :)

I finally got an eye exam today after putting needing to have one and putting it off and putting it off some more. I knew my eyesight has gotten worse, but damn! I had no idea just how bad it had gotten until I couldn't see shit on the little eye chart until they rolled up the largest letters on the test and had to squint a bit to see those. That my friends is just scary bad. Apparently I was seeing at 20/100 and now I'm at 20/20 with shiny new contacts. It's totally awesome to be able to see properly again, but my new contacts are killing my eyes while trying to adjust. At least I'll be able to see properly when the kiddo and I go on our trip in a few weeks. ;)

I also got my hair done today and it's fab. I was initially just going to get a trim and then I decided to go blonde and get bangs as well. Love the new hair!

I'm way behind on Lost and don't really care if I catch up. I know it's supposed to be the shit now, but I've only been mildly interested this season anyway, so I doubt I'll bother to finish watching. I'm kind of over VM too and I used to love it. :( I am however totally in love with Heroes (Peter!), FNL (Matt!) and The Black Donnellys (Kevin!). Speaking of The Black Donnellys, there's a bonus ep online at NBC that won't be aired on TV, so for the few of you who don't already know about it, you should definitely check it out. :)

Aidan and I have been watching the old Nightmare on Elm Street films and oh how I love the cheese. I'd forgotten how bad the acting was, but they are still fun to watch and seem pretty low-key compared to some of the horror films of today.

I'm off to get my remaining title packages out and start on filing. Woo hoo!

darie is getting married!!! I'm soooooo excited for her! Congrats to my bestest friend in the world. :D

Aidan and I are going to Scotland at the end of March. The flight is booked and we'll finally be taking a real vacation soon. Whee! I was initially planning on going to visit jenah but thought I might as well get as much bang for the buck as possible, so I decided on Scotland and going to see satanwasmypimp instead. I can hardly stand it. A real vacation. With my kiddo. And Riikka. Awesomeness!

Speaking of satanwasmypimp, we're working on a new site and some of you are going to be in sheer heaven when it opens. *winks at neversince*

Films watched over the weekend:

Le Pacte des loups aka Brotherhood of the Wolf (enjoyed it)
Little Miss Sunshine (really enjoyed it but wished there was less potty mouth)
The Last Kiss (something starring The Braff that I didn't like very much)
Flower & Garnet (OK)
Bereft (very pretty but just OK)
Happily N'Ever After (didn't like it)
Casino Royale (loved it)

Happy belated New Year everyone!!!

Mia Online is back online with a new layout by the lovely Dora. Some of you know about it already, but since I haven't pimped it here yet, I thought I should. ;)

New LJ header featuring Asia Argento.

New Leoben LJ mood theme that may or may not stay. I want a Matt Saracen mood theme, but honestly, I’m too damned lazy to make one.

Tried to watch The DaVinci Code over the holidays and couldn't finish it. It was pretty but the acting, dialogue and suspense all seemed very fake to me and I just couldn't get into it because of those 3 things.

Also tried to watch Live Freaky! Die Freaky! but was too disgusted to watch it all. If you’re thinking about renting it DO NOT have any children around and don’t watch it around anyone who is easily offended or gets uncomfortable with a lot of sexual references and/or claymation porn (yes, they show it all). It’s one of the most tasteless things I’ve ever seen and it was not funny in any shape, form or fashion. I don’t even know if it was actually meant to be funny.

I also watched: Pulse - very pretty in a dark and eerie way, but just OK as a whole; Mozart and the Whale - loved it and thought Josh Hartnett was fab (Stop laughing at me. He’s really good in it.); and Americano - really enjoyed it and the behind the scenes stuff and it only made me love Josh Jackson even more. Yes, I’ve always had a thing for Josh J.

I’m currently obsessed with all things Asia Argento, Fletcher Humphrys and Callum Keith Rennie at the moment.

I’m addicted to baby carrots. They rule!

I capped another ep of Dexter, but still have 5 to go. I just haven’t been in much of a capping mood lately.

I’m looking forward to the new season of TLW a teeny tiny bit. Like a really tiny bit. It’ll probably suck ass like last season, but at least the hotness of Daniela Sea will make up for it. I hope so anyway because apparently Jenny, who I detest as it is even though I adore Mia K. to pieces, is supposed to be more loathe-worthy than ever this season. That should be loads of fun to watch and cap for Mia Online. Oh yeah! /sarcasm

Yay for FNL tonight! I so need a Saracen and Street fix. OK, so I kinda need a Riggins fix too. I’m starting to like him more and more even though I don’t want to. It’s the whole broody lonely boy. I’m a total sucker for them.

I think I’ve rambled about enough randomness for now. I’m going to finish up work so I can get the heck out of here.

Merry Christmas everyone!

New layouts by GotMedia? at heather-graham.org and julie-delpy.net. Check out the pretty when you have a few moments. :D

Happy birthday to neversince!

I made a few McLeod's Daughters icons the other day. I also made a few Grey's Anatomy icons and Point Pleasant icons over the past couple of months as well as a few other TV and film icons, but I can't remember what they were right now because I uploaded everything without taking note of which ones were new. Hopefully I won't forget next time. ;)

( The Office )

( Grey's Anatomy )

( Heroes )

I tried to watch Vanished. Twice. It’s one of the worst shows ever created. Even the pretty can’t make it watchable.

I also tried to watch Justice, Six Degrees and Runaway, but I didn’t like any of them very much. Six Degrees stunk which is kind of sad because it has a great cast. Well, a great cast with the exception of Bridget Moynahan. That woman can stink up anything. Ick!

I attempted to give Gilmore Girls another chance last night and it totally stunk. I’m sure some of you enjoyed it, but I think I’m officially done with the show now.

I was very, very bad and watched 3.01 of VM. Shame on me!

Yay for the Supernatural tomorrow!

I need a new LJ layout, but don’t know what I want.

Is it wrong that I'm totally loving the new Lemonheads tunes? Even if it is, I don't really care because they sound great.

I am beyond jealous of satanwasmypimp because she's going to the premier of The Black Dahlia at the Venice Film Festival and Mia, Scarlett and Josh are all there. I kind of wanted to poke fun at Josh for being a part of this film because he just didn't seem to fit, but from the clips and tv spots I've seen, it looks like he's done a damned good job with his role. I am so freakin' excited for the US premier coming up in a few weeks. This is the first time in a few years that Mia has been on the big screen and even though she plays the most tragic role of all, it's going to be amazing to see her in such a big production.

Speaking of Mia, mia-online.org has been revamped with a beautiful new layout thanks to the lovely Dora.

Bones premiers tonight. Yay!!!

darie RULES! Only she knows how to express her love via an O-Town video. *big squeezy hugs*

My furniture will be here tomorrow! Yay!!! I'm going table and rug shopping on Sunday with Holly and possibly my mom. I can't wait to get my living room all spiffed up.

I uploaded caps from episode 5.02 of The Dead Zone earlier. *looks at slayground* I hope to get the rest up soon. :)

I've eaten so many gummi bears over the past week it's not even funny. I think I'm addicted, but only to the red and semi-clear ones. The other ones suck. Why do companies bother to make green, yellow and orange candies? They're all terrible and taste nothing like lime, lemon or orange. Ick!

During my dental appointment the other day I found out that all my years of jaw clenching have finally paid off and I've cracked a couple of back teeth. Go me! Seriously though, I don't know how to stop clenching my jaws in order to help prevent further destruction. I can't wear my mouthpiece at work because it makes me drool and I can't talk very well with it in. I chew gum sometimes, but typically end up chewing too much and it wrecks my tongue. I've been cutting back on my caffeine intake because it just makes me clench my jaws even tighter. So frustrating.

On a super happy note, I bought a new sleeper sofa and loveseat today. It's the first real furniture that I've purchased for myself. Ever. Everything I've had before has been handed down from one family member or another, but this is mine and I couldn't be more excited. I'm going rug, table and lamp shopping over the weekend to spruce up my living room. Can't wait!

I've watched 4 Gael Garcia Bernal films this week, all but 1 of which ROCKED. I rented 2 more today and I have to say that I blame Mariana for starting me down this path. It all started with her sending me The King and now I can't stop watching his films. Good stuff!!!

I'm off to bed. Nighty night.

( the rest )

My brain has calmed down now and my emotions aren't so all over the place. I still don't feel OK just yet, but I will in time.

I forgot to pimp it sooner, but ITC has been revamped with a shiny summery layout. The screencap gallery is also back online and I added caps from TDZ 5.01 earlier today.

I changed my LJ layout again, but to a plainer look that matches my Aquamarine icon. I also changed my journal title, but it's still a Butch-centric lyric. ;) Speaking of The Man, his new album, The Rise and Fall of Butch Walker and the Let's-Go-Out-Tonights, kicks butt. It's very different from his other albums and I really dig it.

I'm off to watch some more Bones. Only a few more eps to go. Wheee!

For those of you thinking that I may have dropped off the face of the earth because I haven't posted, called or emailed you, I'm still here, there's just nothing interesting to report or squee about a the moment. I've been working on site stuff, capping things for friends, working my butt off, dreaming about buying new furniture that doesn't look like crap with all the money that I don't have, catching up on some TV I've missed (namely Bones) and watching movies. Oh, and making the occasional icon. I tried to watch an episode of Entourage, but I didn't really like it very much. I think it's more that I just wasn't in the mood for that kind of thing when I tuned in than anything else. I'll give it another shot in a week or so. :)

Since I haven't pimped Butch Walker in forever...His new album came out this week, so go out and get it or download it from iTunes and show the man some love.

That's all I have for now. I'm off to run some errands, get lunch and wrap my mom's birthday present.
