I Hate Being Sick

I’m not dead, though at times this past week I certainly felt like I was. I’m not writing a long post because my head is all fuzzy and my throat is killing me (at least until this medicine kicks in again). I just wanted to let all of you know that I’m alive and coughing.

Hopefully this penicillin and cough meds work and this goes away before our family that is visiting comes on Sunday. My Mom is also sick now too, though not as bad as I was/am. We also still have to finish all of the heavy cleaning before they get here. My Dad broke his wrist, so he can’t help with anything and we have to do a lot of extra stuff for him. We’re just falling apart over here huh?

I do have some interesting news for my fellow Twilight fans. Did any of you see the Criminal Minds episode that was on this week? Did you notice who the killer was in it? That’s right! Jackson Rathbone who played Jasper Cullen in Twilight. He was really good in the role too. Here is a clip I found on YouTube, you can probably find the whole thing on there or on CBS.com if they show full episodes.

Movies & More Movies

Being sick and not having much energy to do anything but lay in bed (or on the couch) have allowed me to watch quite a few movies. Here is the list that I remember watching:

Twilight (a few times)
Seven Pounds
I Am Legend
The Lost Boys
The Lost Boys: The Tribe
Devil’s Den
Extreme Dating
Graveyard Dancers
Heavenly Creatures

My favorite out of the bunch? Twilight. I thought that was obvious.

My least favorite was Devil’s Den. It was really quite awful. I only watched it because my pre-teen crush was in it – Devon Sawa. Remember him? He was the boy at the end of Casper who was Casper. He was also in Now and Then. Oh I want to see that movie now. Oh, Devon Sawa was also in the Extreme Dating movie. It was an “okay” movie but nothing special really.

Today I think I am going to watch Zoolander. It always cheers me up. There are so many good quotes in that movie. I’ll probably watch another movie too, but I’m not sure what yet.

Oh also if you have Showtime, The Tudors is back on again tonight! I don’t have it again (yet) but you can catch the season premiere online for free. I embedded it right here if you wanted to watch it. Oh, if you haven’t seen any episodes before that is fine because they recap seasons 1 and 2 before they show season 3 episode 1. Jonathan Rys Meyers is hot, the costumes are great, and it is somewhat based on history. I like it.



I hope everyone is having a good weekend and isn’t sick. And if you are (Lee) I hope you feel better soon too!

The Real Weapon of Mass Destruction

Check out this article that was just published less than an hour ago confirming that, “North Korea defiantly carried out a provocative rocket launch Sunday that the U.S., Japan and other nations suspect was a cover for a test of its long-range missile technology.”

"We cannot contain our disappointment and regret over North Korea's reckless act," presidential spokesman Lee Dong-kwan told reporters Sunday. He said the launch of the long-range rocket "poses a serious threat to security on the Korean peninsula and the world."

Obama said Friday the launch would be "provocative" and said the U.S. would "take appropriate steps to let North Korea know that it can't threaten the safety and security of other countries with impunity."

So, what does that mean for us? Are we leaving one war to go into another one in the very near future with North Korea now? Could this mean the world may really end in 2012? If I were to ask my 8-ball I’m sure it would say “Outlook Not So Good.”

Not Feeling Well

Sorry I haven’t posted anything too interesting lately, I haven’t been feeling very well. I have a really bad sore throat, sneezy, I’m weak and sleepy and just very blah.

Only good thing about not feeling well is that I am pretty much caught up on my TiVo. It has also been rainy here the past few days, which I don’t mind at all. As I’ve said, I love the rain.

My Mom bought me a Twilight tee and a tote bag from Wal-Mart to cheer me up. It was really sweet of her. She also made me homemade chicken noodle soup. Mmm.

Flashback Friday – Pour Some Sugar On Me

Take a step back into time with my favorite song of 1987, Def Leppard’s “Pour Some Sugar On Me.” I was only about 5 when it came out, but I do remember it and I did sing along with it in the car. It is even on my iPod now so I sing along with it in my very own car twenty years later. That is a sign of a good song!

Sing along and rock it out!
(Lyrics below for all those karaoke lovers who sing along too)




"Pour Some Sugar On Me"

Step inside, walk this way
You and me babe, Hey, hey!

Love is like a bomb, baby, c'mon get it on
Livin' like a lover with a radar phone
Lookin' like a tramp, like a video vamp
Demolition woman, can I be your man?
Razzle 'n' a dazzle 'n' a flash a little light
Television lover, baby, go all night
Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet
Little miss ah innocent sugar me, yeah

Hey!
C'mon, take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up

Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C'mon fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
Oh, I can't get enough

I'm hot, sticky sweet
From my head to my feet yeah

Listen! red light, yellow light, green-a-light go!
Crazy little woman in a one man show
Mirror queen, mannequin, rhythm of love
Sweet dream, saccharine, loosen up

You gotta squeeze a little, squeeze a little
Tease a little more
Easy operator come a knockin' on my door
Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet
Little miss innocent sugar me, yeah

Take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up

Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C'mon fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
Oh, I can't get enough

I'm hot, sticky sweet
From my head to my feet yeah

[guitar solo]

You got the peaches, I got the cream
Sweet to taste, saccharine
'Cos I'm hot, say what, sticky sweet
From my head, my head, to my feet

Do you take sugar? one lump or two?

Take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up

Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C'mon fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
Oh, I can't get enough
Pour some sugar on me
Oh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
Get it, come get it
Pour your sugar on me
Ooh
Pour some sugar on me
Yeah! Sugar me!

Robert Pattinson's New Girlfriend?

Look what I found over at Robert Pattinson... Who? It seems Robert Pattinson and Nikki Reed have been seen out together and it has been reported Nikki even slept over at Rob's this weekend.

If they are really together, I think it is great. Obviously Rob and I can't be together (yet). LOL Nikki seems like a good match for him to be with (for now anyways). Yes, I'm totally delusional about me and Rob's future love affair as is everyone infatuated with him, so what? :P

Have a happy Twilight day!

Justin Timberlake on SNL – Single Ladies Parody

So, I saw the sketch first on Oprah briefly (I don't usually watch SNL so I was a bit late seeing this okay?) and I just had to find it. However, I can’t find the whole thing! The best I could get was this from youtube.com. Apparently the whole version is on the NBC website somewhere. I just don’t have the motivation to search through all those back pages of SNL. Anyone else know where to find it?

Sisterhood Award

Thanks so much to Bibi who has awarded me with the Sisterhood Award! Sorry it took me so long to post it.



I’m not exactly sure what the award is for. Being sassy? Pro-women? Either way, I thank ya Bibi and I am awarding 10 fellow women to be sassy with me.

Flashback Friday – Boy Bands

Ah – the 90s were such a sweet time for the Boy Bands, wasn’t it? We had New Kids on the Block, The Backstreet Boys, N*Sync, Boyz II Men, 98 Degrees, LFO, Take 5, O-Town, and others I forgot the names of. I did buy those issues of BOP and BIG BOPPER for the posters and taped them on my walls like wallpaper. Ahh the memories.


I absolutely loved New Kids on the Block when they were popular. I had the cassettes (CDs weren’t out then), a nightgown, a sleeping bag, pins, posters, shirts, folders, etc. I was still in elementary school then, so it wasn’t quite as geeky as it sounds (okay, maybe it is still even then but whatever). I am however not fond of them anymore, and their “comeback” isn’t something I praise or want to listen to. Sorry NKOTB!




My next obsession was The Backstreet Boys. Oh how cute they were! I remember watching their videos on MTV. I even remember when I first saw “Quit Playing Games With My Heart.” I saw them in concert at a tornado relief fund in Orlando outside of the Hard Rock Café area at Universal Studios. I was with a few friends and we were by the side part where the other singers hung out with the fans. BSB were just too cool for us. Brian and Howie came over for about 30 secs to sign one autograph for a photo op. That ruined them for me (at least personality wise). However, guess who else was at this concert? N*Sync!!!

Backstreet Boys - Quit playing games with my heart
by sisi_love

N*Sync became my next obsession (and final). They only released their first single of “I Want You Back” maybe a week before the first concert I saw with them, and I brought it with me (in hopes of getting it signed). Guess what? I totally did! JC was amazed someone was actually there with it I think and he signed it and talked to me and my friends for at least 10 minutes. He was sweet and gave us hugs. I saw N*Sync a few years later with my best friend and my mom (she liked it too though). I saw Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera a few years later (I won tickets actually and had really great seats woot). N*Sync was by far my favorite boy band. They had the best songs and had the cutest guys which is really all that matters, right?

NSYNC - Bye Bye Bye
by abessolo

Did you like the boy bands too? Did the boy bands craze take over your pre-teen and teen life? Tell me about your memories of this too!

* I hope these videos stay up, sometimes they get turned off and I have to go back and try to find them again elsewhere (talk about annoying).

True Blood - Good Fan Video

While I was bored and still very awake (it is midnight) I found myself browsing the HBO: True Blood website. Another cool thing I found on there is they have a wiki and forum area too. I might join it. Anyways, while reading some threads I came across this fan-made video. It is really quite good and features Nelly Furtado's Maneater song (which I also love).



I've also been planning on getting my hair cut. It is really long right now - too long. It is like over 2 ft long. If it was strong and all I think I'd probably keep it this length, but it isn't. It gets all split-ended and then I pick at it (annoying habit). So, I'm thinking about getting my hair cut like Anna Paquin's shown here. These were the best pics I could find. What do you guys think?
