Last week we hiked over 45 miles in the canyon lands of Southern Utah. It was an amazing adventure and there’s so many photos, videos, and memories to sort through.
But first, we picked up Baxter who didn’t make the trip with us. We missed the little bugger so much. Then we had to unpack, wash, and clean our gear and clothes. Catch up on emails, TV, and drama. And go see “Robin Hood”, which we loved. (Being that I’m a big geek about Medieval Europe history and art, this movie and “The Secret of Kells” were tailor MADE for me… SO WELL DONE!)
And, yes… also time to start a new blog. Introducing PuppyHiker.com. Ridiculous. I know.
NKOTB on Today Show this morning. Fans camped out for 2 days to get in. I’m kicking myself that I missed out on the rehearsal for this earlier in the week at the House of Blues on Sunset (not to mention that I missed out on a Jonathan Rhys Meyers premiere last night too – this week has been BAD LUCK all around).
They all look WAY HOT… even Danny for goodness sake! Joe is as cute as ever and singing louder than the others just like always used to do – LOVE IT! They announced full tour dates. I’m tempted to go to more than just the LA show. What is happening to me?!
Getting your site hacked two times in a week BLOWS. People are such schmucks.
OTH was awful for my ship this week (despite a beautiful 10 second scene at the end). And the spoilers are just getting worse and worse. Sigh.
Packing/moving seriously sucks. I hope we don’t have to do this too many times in our lifetime.
I’m ridiculously excited to get the keys to our new house. I’m not all that sad to be leaving our condo. I thought I would be, but right now, I can’t wait. Every time I hear the lady above us stomping around or when I have to do laundry… can’t freakin’ wait.
I truly love my job, but right now, things are sad and sucky.
Seeing Scissors for Lefty tonight couldn’t be better timing. I need a night to lose myself in music.
I’ve been quite busy. You know how. The usual. Get up, go to work. Come home, eat. Spend time with my husband. Sleep. See movies. Help friends with parties. Dream. Shop. Live. Breathe.
I have my good days. I have my bad days.
I try to be thankful for all I that have and not get too bogged down in the silliness of every day life. But of course, it’s not always so easy.
This week has just been one of those weeks. When it gets hard to remember that I just had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my family. Or how incredible it was to see Fiona Apple again perform so magnificently. Or how I had a great time hanging out with a number of my friends the other night. Or you know, that I have a roof over my head, money in my pocket, and an amazing person to share my life with.
Yah. Ok.
So I haven’t posted in a long time. Jeez… well over a month. I don’t know why exactly. Plenty of things going on or pop culture events I could rant about. But I just haven’t been too motivitated lately.
On one very happy note, Match Point is going to be out in 26 days. Before that there’s Christmas, my first real Christmas with Remi after 6 years. And my friend Autumn’s birthday party is tomorrow. I’ll be baking some yummy cakes with my man. And then spending time with many friends I love.
So yah.
Ok. Live has it’s bittersweet moments. But I just got to remember to keep that chin up.
Mass of emotions. Coachella report coming. Seeing Jonathan on Late Late Show report coming.
But right now, bigger things going on in heart, in mind. Feeling so torn apart. So disappointed. I’m trying to smile through it all. Trying not to let things wear me down. But I’m tired. Really tired of it all.
The line is almost over. Part of me is relieved. Part of me is sad. Mostly, I’m just ready for the end of it. And to move on. After so much expectation and planning, so many ups and downs, the fights, the tears, I will take good things and new friendships from this experience. I will. I’m holding onto that and will not get bitter. It’s not worth it for those few bad apples.
Sigh. There’s so much I could say but it’s so silly and complicated and ridiculous and crazy to get into. Suffice to say that I’ve seen sides to friends I never expected. Both wonderful and hideously bad. No one really understands unless your right in the thick of it all. Just holding on until May 19th at 12:01am. When the lights dim and the familiar Lucasfilm logo appears, a million pounds will lift from my shoulders. I can’t wait.
Fiddling a bit with the design for this site. It’s still uber boring but I’m out of ideas right now as I work on other design projects and I was tired of the way it was. So spiced it up a tiny bit.
The Tesseract was so amazingly good last night. And Jonny… wow. He was brilliant.
Division of Laura Lee are coming back to LA. Finally! They play the Troubadour on May 12. I’m so there. Even though the French Kicks are doing an instore on the same night. Will just have to go to both.
Madonna is certainly trying to kill me with her new tour. I’m not sweating it. I don’t have tickets to any shows but I’ll figure something out and not break the bank. Saw the recent Showtime Britney special the other night. I couldn’t pay attention. It was so boring. The crowd was asleep. The sound was awful and all the canned vocals didn’t help. The parts where she clearly rips off Madonna were just a pale imitation. She can try all she wants but she’s got nothing on the original boy toy.
Jimmy Eat World is no longer on the Coachella lineup. Why add a band for two days and then remove it? Lame.
Um. I’m still alive. Just been majorly busy. And getting a bit sick.
I had to finish this gift I was making by mother’s day for my mom. Work has been incredibly hectic. More than usual right now. So much so, I was not able to take off Friday and go to Jay Leno for Ewan. And because of traffic, I didn’t make it in time to see Ewan leave the studio. Ah well.
I spent most of last week finally redesigning and revamping my Jude Law fansite. This has been something I’ve needed to do for months and months. I came up with several discarded designs until finally coming up with the right one. I also did the entire site in PHP. I recently revamped the JRMfansite using PHP. And my first real stab at PHP was redesigning and restarting Glow. It’s going to be a while before all my sites get going with PHP but I’m very happy I’ve started to get the hang of using it. It makes life so much easier (I’m more knowledgeable and comfortable using ASP but most webhosting servers do not have that capablity). Plus I’ve almost completely changed all of my fanlistings to using either PHP or Megabook. I just need to convert one more… and ahem… I’m signed up for 4 more fanlistings that I need to complete.
Yeah. I’ve got issues.
And to top it all off… Blur are trying to kill me! Well… either that or get more money out of me. According to Pollstar (via Val), they are going to play Seattle June 20 and then Vancouver June 21. (Along with Vegas on June 12.) So looks like I’ll be visiting Remi that weekend. Already got pit tickets for Xfest just to see them. Hot Hot Heat were added to the bill. Just as long as they don’t play at the same time, June 15th will be a radness filled day.
Oh… anyone got details regarding the American Idol final to be held at the Universal Amphitheater?
I’ve decided I’m regressing back to my childhood. Well… with my reading habits at least. I’ve been re-reading some of my favorite books from when I was a kid. I’ve zipped through The Westing Game and From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. Now I’m working on Lord of The Flies which I have not read in ages and ages. Catching the movie on Bravo the other day made me pull out my old copy.
