somewhere a rainbow is weeping

I just thought I’d toss in a random post in the midst of all of my Chuck-spams, which have been super fun to post. Speaking of Chuck, I really missed him on Gossip Girl last night. I prefer Chuck-filled episodes to Chuck-less episodes. Blair looked really pretty last night though and I typically can’t stand her unless she’s in a scene with Chuck in some capacity.

Who else squealed with delight at the new Twilight teaser trailer? Rob looks and sounds amazing. And he and Kristen look awesome together. I’m so excited about the movie!!!

I picked up The Vampire Diaries (Vol. 1 – The Awakening and The Struggle; Vol. 2 – The Fury and Dark Reunion) over the weekend and started reading the first story last night and so far I am enjoying it. Once I finish these books, I’ll shift my focus back to City of Ashes.

Since I’ve been depressed for a while and reading practically non-stop, I’ve found that I haven’t really felt like working on my sites much, which I don’t consider to be a bad thing. I’ve put both Charlie and Rebecca on hold for the time being, and I’m thinking of closing my ITC screencap/scan gallery and just having zip files available of caps instead. Not that many people visit the gallery anyway and after the last round of upgrades due to hackers (OMG how they suck arse), the less coppermines to upgrade, the better.

I’ve moved all of my icons here and have added a few new ones (Asia x1, Heather x1, Mia x 5, Samaire x1 and Broken English x2) if anyone is interested. I will also have some Chuck ones available soon.

I think that’s all the randomness I have for now. More Chuck-spams to be added tonight.

dude, you gotta give her the sweetness

James Roday is awesomeness personified. His portrayal of Shawn Spencer is the greatest ever.

I’m completely obsessed with the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer and the upcoming film as well.

I just finished reading The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones and really enjoyed it for the most part. I only have 1 major complaint with the book and that was the outcome of a particular relationship near the end. I just feel cheated out of what it should have been, but I will get over it soon enough. I started the 2nd book, The Mortal Instruments: City of Ashes, last night and am enjoying it thus far. Here’s to hoping the author doesn’t throw more curve balls at me!

I’ve been bitten by the Gossip Girl bug. It’s not what I’d call a “good” show that everyone and their mother must watch, but it’s incredibly entertaining in a turn your brain off for 45 minutes kind of way. The entire cast is really, really pretty too and that never hurts. Love me some Penn Badgley! He’s just so adorable and I have seen him in other stuff, so it’s not just this show that makes me think he’s adorable. I also have an odd fascination with Chuck or rather Ed Westwick’s portrayal of Chuck. He’s such a creepy slimeball character, but Ed manages to give him a little soul and make him kind of hot at the same time. Ed has the best smarmy facial expressions and his American accent is dead sexy. The one thing I don’t dig about Chuck is his clothing. It’s really awful and a bit too Peeps-colored for my taste. I shall picspam you all later with his hotness and terrible fashion.

Trampolines are fun!

I’ve spent the past 2 days on the trampoline with my son and nieces and I do mean like 4-6 hours a day, not just sporadic bouncing. I’d forgotten how much fun these freaking things are. They are also a great way to exercise without it feeling like exercise because you’re all giggly and having a blast while seeing who can bounce who higher without smacking them into the side guards or anything. More bouncy fun awaits me tonight when I get home from work too. There’s woo and hoo!

If you were planning on watching either Skinwalkers or Hatchet, spare yourself and just say “no” to them both. Skinwalkers was just plain B-A-D and Hatchet was funny but full of nothing but one cliche after another after another and thusly not terribly enjoyable. Sorry, but I prefer some originality with my horror, or at the very least a story that makes some kind of sense, not just buckets of blood spraying from a wound like some live-action Manga video. The “monster” was even lame and OMG so Jason Voorhies-like (and OMG played by the guy who plays Jason) but at least he growled and made noises and stuff, unlike Jason.

New best website ever. Well, for breakfast lovers anyway.

More randomness…

OK, so I’m not the biggest fan of Jennifer Love Hewitt, but I think these photos of her are pretty awesome. No, I’m not being sarcastic and poking fun at her. I actually do think that is really nice to finally see an actress who is a real woman with a real body that isn’t perfect. It hasn’t been liposuctioned or injected or wrapped or nipped or tucked or inflated, or [fill in the blank], which is how most of us truly are under our clothes. The vast majority of women that I know, myself included, do in fact have cellulite on either their rears or legs or both and their breasts do sag bit, especially when they have larger breasts to begin with. Maybe I’m in the minority, but I think its great that she isn’t a stick bug and yet she’s still acting and being invited to premieres and such. Why can’t Hollywood accept the fact that not every woman will be a size 0 or just look “perfect” forever?

Raise your hand if you’re super excited about the premiere of Tin Man this weekend! Kath, Zooey and Alan in a modern spin on The Wizard of Oz. What’s not to love? Here are a few photos of them at the LA premiere last night.

Phil’s memorial service was yesterday and it was really quite lovely. I somehow managed to hold it together even when Darie spoke about him. She talked about how much fun we all used to have at our Big Gay Tuesday get-togethers and how he managed to make it through many evenings with us and our B-movies without complaining. She talked about how all you needed to make your day brighter was a hug from Phil and as silly as it may sound, it is true. You could feel like poo and he really could make you feel better by giving you a big hug or making you a yummy coffee (his weapon of choice for me was the white chocolate mocha with sprinkles) or just telling you the lamest joke known to man. He wasn’t without his faults, but who is really? I choose to remember the good times and the good in him because he really was a kind and loving person.

All in all the past few weeks have just been sad, depressing and very stressful. On top of Phil’s death, Aidan and I are preparing to move in the next few weeks and I’ve been cleaning out closets and packing every week and I don’t think I’ll ever finish. I’ve done no real web-related work lately and I am so behind on helping a couple of people out with things that should have been done weeks ago. I know they understand the situation I’m in right now, but I still have guilt over the fact that it’s just sitting there staring at me and I can’t find the motivation to get it done. I’ve also been a bit stressed over the fact that I’ve been super broke for the past couple of months. I mean, I’ve gotten the bills paid, but the food/gas/etc. money has been spread very thin to a point that I’ve been losing sleep over it. Thankfully I’ll be able in a better financial situation in a few weeks, so I won’t have to stress over it much longer.

On a lighter note, I’m sure you noticed that I put up a new layout. This one features that hotness that is Taylor Kitsch (photos courtesy fnlgallery.com) and was made by the lovely and talented Nat.

So Alive

I haven’t felt much like blogging lately, as you all may have noticed from my complete and utter lack of blogging. Let’s see if I can fill you in on everything now…

Darie got married this past weekend and it was so much fun. She looked amazing and I hope to have photos available soon.

Site Pimpage: Sophia Web is now open. There is a ton of gallery work left to do, as well as the video archive to build, which is going to take many months to complete, but it’s in pretty good shape as it is. I am in love with the layout as well, which was made by the awesome Dora.

My spider bite has healed nicely, but I do have a scar. It’s getting lighter though, so hopefully it’ll be completely gone within the next few months.

The only fall TV that I’m loving right now is Pushing Daisies, Supernatural (S3 is really strong), FNL (I choose to pretend that 1 storyline is not really happening), The Office and Chuck. I’m actually a couple of eps behind on The Office and Chuck, but will catch up soon because they are so much fun.

I hate the song ‘Hey There Delilah’ by The Plain White Ts. I don’t really know why I hate it so much though. It’s mellow and I like mellow and the singer has a nice enough voice, but I just can’t stand it. Blech!

On the good music front, I’m completely addicted to Ryan Adams’ Easy Tiger CD. It’s sooo good. Come to think of it, I’m actually kind of addicted to all things Ryan Adams right now. I know he’s supposed to be a total douche in real life, but he is one incredibly talented musician and therefore I am choosing to overlook that fact for the sake of good tunes.

I know there’s more, but that’s all I have for now.
