It's been a crazy few days... I was in Palm Springs for the weekend, I get back for a few days and now I'm headed to LA for work for the rest of the week. And after that, I'll be in San Diego for a friend's wedding. EEK. I feel like I'm spinning in about a million different directions. I'll be back on Monday so hopefully I'll get a chance to blog about my week then.

Hope everyone has a great 4th of July!

So last night I was packing for my weekend in Palm Springs (Girls' Weekend with my best friends!!!) and I realized that I have absolutely no summer clothes. It never gets really hot where I live so I don't have much to choose from. I was struggling to find appropriate clothes I could bring. I think I need to do some shopping... as if I really need an excuse. :P

Anyway, I'm off for the weekend! Hope everyone has a good one!

Gah, I think I've become addicted to YouTube.

I found a link to the Ephram/Amy "I Love You" scene (I adore this scene -- it's just so simple and beautiful) so I began looking around for more Everwood videos. I stumbled upon a fantastic Ephram/Amy fanvideo that goes through some of their greatest moments as friends and then as a couple. SQUEE. So awesome.

But the BEST thing I found on YouTube (not Everwood-related) is this Star Wars-related clip from an episode of Robot Chicken. It's of Darth Vader calling Emperor Palpatine and it is HILARIOUS. Watch it here. BWAHAHAHA.

Anyway, I wanted to share my current "song of the moment" with you all. Enjoy.

Ahhh, it was a great weekend. It's beginning to feel like summer in the Bay Area. I loved it.

On Saturday, I went into the city to meet Nicola for breakfast (or I guess it was lunch since it was around 11am). We went over to the Farmer's Market at the Ferry Building, grabbed some breakfast sandwiches and took them over to the benches that overlooked the Bay. It was absolutely gorgeous. *happy sigh*

After a walk over to Union Square, I went dress shopping. I have 2 weddings to attend this summer (one of them in 2 weeks!) so I was on a mission. My cousin's wedding isn't for another month but I had to look for a dress in a particular color (sage green). That eliminates about 99% of all dresses. I started the dress search back in April so it's been a frustrating couple of months, lol. But I finally found one! YES. Surprisingly, it's strapless (I NEVER thought I would find a flattering strapless dress) but the best part is that it has a fun, swing-y skirt. Awww. I never did find a dress for the wedding that's in 2 weeks so I just ordered a bunch online... I'm crossing my fingers that one of them will work. Guh.

In pop culture matters, I also saw 2 movies this weekend...

Lake House
This wasn't a *great* movie but Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock made it work for me. I spent the entire movie wanting them to get together, hehe. I haven't seen a good chick flick in awhile so this fit the bill.

Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe
Rob and I have had this movie from Netflix since APRIL. BWAH. We just never got around to watching it. I ended up really enjoying it... except for the fact that I didn't like any of the kids! Well ok, I take that back, I liked Peter but that's it. The other 3 bugged me so much. I don't remember having that kind of a reaction to them while reading the book. ??? I guess it's time for a reread.

I've also been meaning to finish up my season finale commentaries... this is my goal before the summer is over. :D

Vacation Update: Rob renewed his passport so it looks like we might be headed out of the country. *pumps fist*

I missed So You Think You Can Dance? tonight but luckily, I have this video to keep me entertained. It's Dick from VM and Felix from OTH... DANCING! Hehehehe. Thanks Amanda for sharing.

I was also cruising through LJ and found this really cute picture of Emily VanCamp and Chris Pratt --

Awww.

And then I saw this picture --

As cute as they are, they'll always be Bright and Amy Abbott to me. SIBLINGS.

I miss Everwood.

I *really* want to take a week off from work and go on vacation this year... but where to?

Rob and I tossed the idea of Hawaii around. But we've been to Oahu twice together already. We thought maybe we'd check out a different island (neither of us have been to the Big Island) but I'm not sold. I LOVE Hawaii but we were just there last year so I'm thinking we should try a different destination.

I really want to go to New York (I went when I was about 9 or 10 and I don't remember a thing) but HOLY MOLY, hotels are INSANELY expensive. If I'm going to spend that much money, I'd rather head to a destination outside of the US.

I've been to the major cities in Europe (Rome, London, Paris, Amsterdam, etc. but only for 2-3 days at a time) and Rob's never been so this might be a great opportunity to experience Europe together. I figured we could pick one city and really spend the week exploring and relaxing instead of visiting 2 cities and cramming all the activities into a few days. Is that a good idea? Or should we just wait to hit Europe when we have at least 2 weeks?

Argh. I don't know. Anyone have any suggestions? We're aiming to take our vacation in October. I wish it were October right now.

And to answer a few questions from my previous post... I'm taking my ballet classes at an actual studio. I can't imagine taking a ballet class at a gym! I started taking lessons when I was 4 and took multiple classes a week until I was about 15. I actually thought for awhile that I was going to be a professional ballet dancer when I "grew up." It wasn't until I was 13, when I was auditioning for apprenticeships at various companies, that I realized 1) I didn't have the ideal body type (I heard this more times than I care to remember) and 2) dancers have a tough life (competitive atmosphere, money is tight). At that point, I decided to stop training and just take classes for fun. That didn't happen, though, since "high school life" took over (ie. pep squad, clubs, homework). I've wanted to take classes again for years now but was too lazy, lol. I'm trying to be more active now, which is hard since I'm not a huge fan of the gym. I figure that at least with ballet, I'm getting exercise AND I enjoy it. Not bad. :D

I just took my first ballet class in 10 years.

HOLY CRAP. I think my body hates me. I'm going to be so sore in the morning. EEK.

Oh man, the series finale of Everwood just about killed me.

*sob*

I want to watch the episode again before doing commentary so let me leave you all with the song that played during the amazingly beautiful Ephram/Amy montage --

George is Jones - Ruins

I'm going to miss this show so much. :(

OMG, I am so exhausted. It was a fun but really tiring weekend. On Saturday, a friend and I went up to the Vacaville outlets (on the way to Sacramento from the Bay Area)... it was so HOT, about 95 degrees! I was dying. And sadly, I didn't buy a thing. Then on Sunday, I went in to San Francisco for a denim sample sale. I LOVE jeans. I tried on a TON and only came away with one. What a disappointment. But then, I'm just glad I was able to get a few over my big hips. Heh.

Anyway.

My season finales commentary... continued (again, SPOILERS ARE AHEAD)...

24
I'm such a 24 junkie. You totally have to suspend belief while watching (ie. Evelyn managing to record the incriminating conversation between the President and Henderson and Miles deleting the recording with what looked like a laser pointer) but I'm willing. I love Jack! I was so glad when Logan got his comeuppance in the finale. *pumps fist* Jack showed you with his super-spy pen. HAH! And the smirks that Mike and Martha threw Logan's way were pretty awesome. But was it just me or did we never get resolution on who (or what group/company) orchestrated the events of the day? Not Logan but the men with the earpieces who were ordering Logan around? I don't remember finding out what their motives were. Or maybe I wasn't paying enough attention. Oh well, I guess it doesn't matter now that Logan is in custody and Jack is headed to China (EEK!).

Prison Break
So nothing really happened in the finale. I have to admit I was kinda disappointed. Well... sure, T-Bag had his hand cut off, Sara overdosed (she can't be dead, right? RIGHT?), and the VP has taken control... but in terms of the escapees, they didn't really get anywhere. OMG, it's so frustrating! They aren't much farther than they were at the end of the penultimate episode. And now they have no plane! Damn. I do like the tension that was created between Scofield and Pope, though. The warden is PISSED. That's a great driving force for the second season.

CSI
SARA AND GRISSOM. What?! I can't decide if I want them in a relationship anymore. :/ It wasn't as great a finale as last season but it was decent. I'm SO glad Brass didn't get killed off. The show wouldn't be the same without him. It was nice to see Ellie again too. I didn't realize until this episode that the actress also plays Louise on the Gilmore Girls. I knew she looked familiar. Yeah, I'm a little slow on the uptake. :D

Now I'm off to watch the series finale of Everwood. *sob*
