Sorry I've been away, I've been dealing with things in my personal life and didn't have time to update.

Okay, so one of the things that I absolutely love about this series is Eve Dallas.  She is smart and tough, definitely ( Read more... )

TV Show: In Plain Sight

*sigh* The uploader disabled embedding for this video and I couldn't track down another version, so go here to watch.

The final episode for this show actually airs on Friday, I can't even begin to put into words how saddened I am.

Mary Shannon is one of my favorite female tv characters.  She's kick ass, sarcastic, grouchy ( Read more... )

Movie: Love Actually

Okay, seriously, what is NOT to love about this movie?  It has a stellar cast, it has Christmas, and it is about love.  This is my absolute favorite movie *and* it has Alan Rickman in it - BONUS.  But beyond sexy Alan, it also has Colin Firth, Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, and Andrew Lincoln in it.  I mean, this movie is filled with ( Read more... )

I am a big fan of P!nk, I could have made a list of, at least 25, songs I have loved by her alone.  But I picked this song because it is one that represents me the most, the one I identify with the most.

Josh + Donna = OTP

I have spent the last 17-ish hours watching season 1 of The West Wing.

I adore this show, it is so wonderful and watching it makes me feel warm and fuzzy.  I miss anticipating a new episode of this show every week.  But more importantly, I remember anticipating new episodes every week.

 This is the trailer for the U.S. movie based on the first book.  
I've spent the past two days rereading the millennium series.

While I love the series as a whole, I think the first book is the strongest of the three, but none of them are crap.

The quests were interesting, drawing me in, and along the ( Read more... )

Thursday:
So I landed in Philly at about 5:30pm on Thursday and ended up having a luggage crisis, wasn't that nice?

Once I left the airport, I was easily able to hop onto the subway system to take me downtown.  I was staying at the Apple Hostels of Philadelphia which was located, seriously, like five minutes from the Liberty Bell/tourist stuff.  It ( Read more... )
