BABY SHOWER TOMORROW. PLS GO WELL.

over parties! at least until next year! My dog has his party outfit on for tomorrow a bright light themed shirt. Awww, he looks SO CUTE.

Why is such a well spoken man such a turn on? David is so funny in his videos but when he gets real, you all need to listen up. I have loved his videos for ages and for some reason this has slipped my viewing and I watched it for the first time today. SO WATCH. WATCCCCCCH.

In other news, I didn't get picked up for Jury duty, but I DID get two days off work, the first for turning up only to be told to come back tomorrow and today, to be told to go home that they filled up all the spots. ~_~ I really wanted to get picked because our union gives us 3 weeks paid if we get picked! But I did get a bagel or two out of it, I had time and walked around town to get a bagel only to get ripped off, 1.75 for a bagel? WHEN three blocks down you can get the same bagel with cream cheese for 1.50, psh. I also got around to buying the rest of the drinks for the party 5 cases of soda and 3 cases of water just in case if people want water. I also bought the togo's sandwich, which came out to 70.00! It was more than I thought it was going to be! But we get it at work all time and it feeds a TON of people, so basically PEOPLE BETTER COME TO THIS PARTY AND EAT. I need to get around to buying the Chinese food since me and my mom are trying to throw it on each other to get it done, so I might do it tomorrow after work if she doesn't do it tonight and then all that's left is to buy the fruit and veggies Thursday night/Friday morning. I plan on getting my dog a small trim and a bath today. UGH. PARITIES ARE TOO MUCH WORK. AFTER THIS NO MORE PARTIES. at least until Briar Rose's 1st birthday! Haha.

Did you all see the Oscar noms? Was it really a BAD YEAR for films last year? Because the only redeeming noms I see are for The Help and even then THAT isn't saying much, and Dragon tattoo-girl. But how did the academy not see Fassbender worthy for a nom? WHAT THE WHAT? I could barely stomach Shame but that performance all the intrigue really set the bar.

HAD RIDIC CHINESE FOOD ON CHINESE NEW YEAR WITH setsuna16, dearly_beloved, clos_vf and 2 others who aren't online peeps.


:)

HUNGER GAMES. I NEED YOU NOW.
Hello! I should be wrapping gifts but my laziness/lack of desire is preventing me from doing so. UGH. I hate feeling lazy, it's the worst feeling. I did get around to coloring my hair, but that is easy to do, but - - - I did SOS the whole bath tub and that counts for something, right?

I REALLY WANT A NEW TATTOO.

Seeing all the new gorgeous stuff coming out just has me itching for something new and something creepy. I don't know what yet but I want a mind-fuck tattoo and lyrics, GOD DAMN I WANT TEXT ON ME FOR THE REST OF MAH LIFE. See these gorgeous ones found all tumblr, they are all flaw free: ( Read more... )



Been reading SO MUCH FIC on these two! OMGOSH. My OTP? I dunno, but it's better than Markie with Gary. Since Rob and Markie are the two fuck up's of the band it works, I like the friendship-lol fic that is out there. I rewatched the Progress tour and there was SO MANY MOMENTS. moments! How could I have not realized!?




MURRAY GOLD WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME!?

*went to the book sale and limited myself to ONE bag of books. It was hard, I really picked up/put back and angsted over a few titles. Ended up buying a bit for a friend. He better appreciate!

*met up with my mother and we had eric's deli and I ordered the cookie cake for the baby shower. Mom wants too much food and I feel most ppl won't eat, because honestly I hate stuffing my face at a party.

*tomorrow is my buckle-down and get the baby shower games done. Monday is jury duty, so it'd be a short work week with me being off Friday (to prepare for the baby shower) feels good. I bought my sister the carseat/stroller set up. It was on sale and came out to around 164.00-ish. She updated her items at target because people were annoyed at the lack of actual items; she requested mostly diapers and wipes Lol.

*spent toooo much this weekend. For the next two weeks I'll be in hibernating-mode. Been thinking of selling all my totes/purses. I have NO space.


*sorry for the unpretty post. This is done on my iPod touch. ~_~

I have this urge to watch a jdorama but I don't know what to watch, nothing new looks interesting. I have had thoughts on picking up Kaseifu no Mita but I've been dragging my feet. The urge to watch is there but to get started is hard, because I can't multi-task with the subs. ;_; #firstworldproblems.

WORK. HAS. BEEN. AWESOME. good shifts, good times and good coworkers. It's been a good couple of days. I have been slowly cleaning for the baby shower but I see no real point since it's two weeks away and I know it'd all be messy again until the day of. So I've been RESTLESS. I have the energy to do stuff but don't really know what to do. I attempted to tidy the back yard but was told to stop since someone is going to come do work for the side house outside. SO ARGH. Restless. RESTLESS. Watch, next week I'll have no time/no energy to do anything.

Looking forward to this Saturday's book sale in Saratoga. Going to pick up a ton of random books. It happens three times a year so this is my time to stock up, Saturday it's 4 for 1.00 and Sunday it's 5.00 a whole bag. They have everything there, lots of new stuff, old editions and collections.

Does anyone else watch Gossip Girl, because the dair is awesome. The slow build up, every single slight moment they have together is just AMAZING. That is my otp. Please don't let me down 100th episode!! I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE END OF THE MONTH!

Here are those fabulous Take That B-sides I was talking about (also popped in some remixes that were requested.) but the b-sides have great Markie vocals!

I was super productive yesterday and did all the gift bags for the baby shower, took down the x-mas tree, rearranged the furniture in the family room and tidy up my room a bit. I reorganized all my samples that I had in random bags and in multiple drawers into one big tub. You can see photos under the cut of everything. PIC-SPAM-TIME --> ( Read more... )


he deserves to be out of the cut as well! he's my beauty!~

Mumford & Sons are a British folk rock band. The band formed in December 2007, rising out of what some in the media labeled the "West London folk scene. Band members variously play guitar, drums, keyboard instruments, bass guitar, and traditional folk instruments such as banjo, mandolin, and resonator guitar. Sigh No More is the debut studio album, the album's title is taken from a song performed in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing and several lines from the play appear in the title track's lyrics.

This band totally caught me by surprise. I saw the band in Oakland last month and was caught off guard at the crowds enthusiasm for the band and the songs lingered in my mind for a while but at the start of the month I picked up the album and haven't stopped listening to it since, every_single_song is top notch and the variety of instruments is a mix that I have never really heard before. Totally love this album and can't imagine not having it on hand to listen to through out the year. This is easily my soundtrack this Winter!

I can't wait!! I've started to re-read the series and just *__* PEETA. How can anyone NOT be Team Peeta. Gayle doesn't even come close. I have such high hopes for this movie, pleaseeeeeeeeee be good. I hope the soundtrack is top notch. Hopehopehopehope.

Nothing much to share; just a LONG work week and I went out this afternoon for dinner and some baby shower stuff. I hope to rest this weekend and get caught up on the baby shower stuff. Next weekend will be busy with the bookgoround sale that happens three times a year.

Another successful SF trip where I drove through 4 districts. I haven't driven in SF in at least three years, usually we use the bus and train to get around but the car spoiled us with us not having to walk everywhere. It was slightly disappointing in only because more and more stores are doing "cash only" and it's so annoying because I had less than 60.00 in cash on hand which I planned to use for parking, so there was a ton of sweets and treats that I missed out on. Payton, my sister's husband's son (my nephew?) did fabulous in the city. He's only four and can be restless and anxious but the first day in SF he behaved really well. But the second day he was restless and it wasn't so much fun but we managed.

In Fandom news, Steve/Loki is my god-damn-f'in-OTP! Oh god yes, as in lolz-otp, NOT smut OTP. I love fandom, I really do but the slash and smut is RIDIC. I want lolz/gen fic! F!Yeah! LokixSteve is on tumblr and the pics are awesome. I wish it was updated more often and hope the pairing catching on as the movie comes closer to coming out. I NEED IT LIKE NOTHING ELSE.

CAN YOU IMAGINE PRE-CAP STEVE WITH LADY LOKI.



Who do I have to pay?!



So glad that Revenge and Once Upon a Time is back! I was getting so bored with the lack of things to watch.

If anyone knows me they know I LOVE LOVE LOVE Donald Duck; Donald is king and Threadless is having a "Design a t-shirt inspired by Donald Duck". These are some of my favorites: ( Read more... )

The Baby Shower invites came in today and I dashed to the post office to mail out a good part of them, so hopefully people will get them this weekend/monday. We are heading up to Chinatown this weekend after work to buy all the decorations and to look at cakes. We'll bve staying in a hotel because I don't want to rush and my sister is coming and she's 7 months pregnant and I know the hills of Chinatown will kill her. BUT SO EXCITED for this baby shower because #1 we already did the bridal shower and that was my first real time throwing/hosting a big party and #2 this time it'd be super casual and we are already super close with the in-laws, so I see it being more fun and more chill. Plus who doesn't love a baby shower? AND DID I MENTION THE THEME IS CHINESE NEW YEAR? lol. My Mother is NOT pleased.

I was super sick the last two days and mostly zombied through work and slept the whole evenings and finally today I feel decent and able to fully breathe. SO YAY.

First day back at work from vacation went pretty well, it was busy as heck and it made the shift go so fast, but I honestly didn't get much done, just worked on catching up on all the other stuff that should have happened while I was off the last four days. But it's good to get that 'first-day-back' out of the way. My coworker won at the casino over NYE and won 5000.00! She bought everyone breakfast, we got these huge sandwiches from Nob Hill and it was large enough to be both my breakfast and lunch. Last night setsuna16 and our friend went out to dinner and I had this RIDIC steak sandwich that was massive and was planning on taking my leftovers for lunch for work but will eat it for dinner instead. Great quality steak but the whole place was bland looking, considering it's the fanciest place in town. Market-Price? You bet.

ANYWAY boring talk, the idea for the theme of the baby shower came to me as I washed my hands at work and it's going to be Chinese New Year! It'd be so cute/easy to get Chinese new year decorations at this one haunt I go to in San Jose and Chinese food is almost always cheap, but the good thing about a baby shower is that you aren't required to provide a meal unlike the Bridal Shower where we provided a meal and it ate the biggest out of our budget, so YAY. I plan on writing my budget (since my Mother, we had a moment while out at lunch yesterday and she seems to NOT want to be involved financially for the party) soon.

My groupon stuff came in, I got my bowflex heart rate monitor for my bike rides and one of my subscriptions game in (ordered 6 new ones, lol. 5.00 for a whole year of mags? YES PLEASE) My mixbook order should be in later tonight or tomorrow. I LOVE GETTING MAIL. I ordered two DS games that should come in any minute, I have this urge to play my DS more and I'm addicted to OTOME games. ^^;;; GOD THAT IS SO SAD.

Hollywood Undead - No.5

MUSIC. LISTEN.

OMG I finally got around to watching BBC's Sherlock and IT. IS. AWESOME.



I love John to pieces, omg yes. The DIALOG, the style of the editing, the one-liners, the twists here and there, MOFF is writing this!? Geez, no wonder his Doctor Who episodes have been utter hell lately, he has been saving as his best stuff for Sherlock. SO GOOD. I wish there was more episodes. Is there a soundtrack out? Because DAT music. I WANT IT! Great tv! So glad I took a chance!

This is a big post, please read. I plan on uploading ALL the Eurovision albums a decade at a time so this will consist of 2000 - 2011. I don't plan on doing any re uploading but I do have a paid MU account so these should be up for a long time. Please feel free to take these links, share them and such on. There is NO need for credit or comment just share the goodness that is Eurovision! Each album has all the tracks from the official release and is a wide variety of kbps rips. Every track is labeled correctly and has album art. So this is as good as it gets! Each album has a YT vid of the winner of that year, to give you a gish of the sound/style of that year. Enjoy!!

So much is coming up this year! But the biggest joy will happen in March, well, yes the Hunger Games but my very first Niece. I. CAN'T.

TOO exhausted for a proper post. Have a meme? ( Read more... )

THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER PUT ON MY FACE IS THE Kiehl's Ultra face moisturizer! I sampled it from birchbox but used my points to get 20.00 off and now have it in my hands and have used it for over a week every night and UGH. MY FACE!! I wake up and it's smooth, toned and just feels lush. *_* I want the 4oz soon, maybe next month or at least after my sisters baby shower. BEST PRODUCT THAT I'VE USED IN 2011, next to laneige strawberry mask.

I had every intention to going to Dave and Busters tonight but I had two people call in, so we were swamped on my shift and there was a bit of overtime, so we're going tomorrow to get our arcade fix and MAYBE finally see The Adventures of Tintin.



I MISS THEM. - - - This years Doctor Who xmas special was SUPER awesome.. “What’s the point of being happy now if you’re going to be sad later? The answer is, because you’re going to be sad later.” WHAT IS MY LIFE!?! Madge Arwell was such a likeable character, can SHE be the next companion?



ALL. OF. MY. TEARS. THAT ending. The Doctor has a family, finally.

now can we pleassssssse have new companions?

Wasn't bored but I did EAT ALL THE FOOD. X-Mas was fun with everything jammed packed on x-mas-eve with my sister's in-law's coming into dinner and having my Aunt/Uncle and my cousins coming over. That morning we made by hand over 12 dozen tamales, with all of us having an assembly line and it was over and done quick with a lucky soul who took one for the team who roasted and soaked the meat the previous night. But besides that, we ate, ate and ate AND played the game left center right was addictive and when you play with Money, it's even MORE addictive. I won one round which got me over $33.00.


After that we opened gifts and ate even more sweets, my haul wasn't grand but I insisted and asked for nothing. I needed nothing and have more than enough, so I'm glad everyone focused on my sister and her baby. She opened up all the baby stuff I got here and we counted 17 shirts, 47 pairs of socks, 11 leggings, 4 sweats, 9 pair of shoes, 12 dresses and 1 hat. LOL. I BOUGHT SO MUCH WHEN I FOUND OUT SHE WAS HAVING A GIRL. AND I got it all on sale, so YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. She was O_O impressed and her husband was floored. I don't know what I'll be getting her for the baby shower, which is happening Jan 28th. The invites come in from mixbook on the 3rd of Jan, so it's tight but it should work out.


eye-candy for you all.

On X-Mas day we slept in, went for a walk and then drove to King Eggroll for eggrolls and boba and then continued on to my Grandmother's where she wanted us to unpack and connect her new tv. I will do anything for my family but when she has an full grown almost 30 year old son that lives with her, that kills me. WAT. Really? So we set that up and left home where we then went to see Mission Impossible and had leftovers for dinner.

Monday morning we woke up early for the sales, found NOTHING and also kinda held myself back since I'll need the money for this weekend in Nevada City/Tahoe so we went to the theater to see The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo which was a hit/miss, it wasn't bad but it wasn't flawfree but I did love it. Would I see it again? HELL NO. But the story was intriguing and well done (never read the books.) Should I watch the original films? We took up a whole row in the theaters and stuck in our xmas candy. It was massive sugar overload in the theaters.

I watched smap Beijing dvd and it was FLAWLESS. OHMYGOSH the setlist was SOOO good but let me tell you, I was very disappointed that the majority of the songs were shorten/cut (edited) on the dvd and with the lack of crowd shots I felt I was watching a rehearsal instead of an actual concert. But SMAP and GORO. *_* THAT EARTH-SUIT. I. CAN'T.

I finally got MUSIC STATION SUPER LIVE IN MY HANDS! I hope to watch it soon with setsuna16. The tradition picks up again!

MY FAMILY.

*not mine, just a gorgeous and flawless chest piece. ONE THAT IS DONE RIGHT. oh god, boys. TAKE NOTE. The chest piece has become the new tramp stamp for boys as it has been for girls. THERE ARE SO MANY BAD ONES OUT THERE.

So. um. yeah. ^_^;; I don't think I'll be posting over the weekend, lots of family coming in, lots of food to eat and spending quality time at the theater. Cheers!

BE CONTENT AND HAPPY PEOPLE. IT'S BEEN A GOOD YEAR, Y/Y?

Why does everyone hate Monday's? Sure there is the whole "I don't want to go to work tomorrow! but you suck it up, go to bed on time and have everything ready for the morning. But EVER_SINGLE_MONDAY_MORNING my coworkers roll into work like it's death and there is so much moaning and pissing about that it kills me. The negativity sucks the life out of me and I try so hard in my monday mornings to keep to myself till noon when everyone finally snaps out of it.

MISFITS SEASON 3 - - - WHY YOU END SO SOON? I felt like, that's it!??! WHAT exactly happen this season? NOT hating, it was a great season thanks to Rudy who owned every.single.scene. he was in. Everyone's OTP is now gone and I couldn't be happier. They sucked the life out of season 2, so thankyouthankyouthankyou. I hope for more Rudy, Curtis and Kelly who are my 3 favorite characters.

THIS HAD TO BE THE BEST A7X SHOW I HAVE SEEN HANDS DOWN. THEY MADE IT UP TO ALL OF US! We had floor seats and while I didn't really want the floor seats but I am SO glad I went down there, plus the Black Veil Brides was there; I wasn't aware they were on the bill but I looooooooooooved it. SUCH A GOOD OPENING. Sadly I think lots missed their performance since the tickets said the doors opened at 7am but the BVB's set ended at 7, so lots of people missed out. But they did GOOD.

I went with the concert with my two sisters, her husband, 2 friends and my coworkers son. I got my sister who is pregnant and her husband first row, second level seats because I didn't want her on the floor. She said the whole night the baby was doing flip flops in her stomach. But I'm glad they had fun and she wasn't feeling wozzy. But anyway, onto the show.



Asking Alexandria was odd. I don't care for the screamo music and the growls of a new band. This is kinda hard to explain the style and sound but when you hear you, YOU KNOW. But they were NOT my style. Ew. But thankfully their set wasn't long and later on Hollywood Undead came out, the profanity and the vulgar lyrics are SO RIDIC AND OVER THE TOP THAT I HAVE TO LAUGH. It's so offensive that it ISN'T offensive. x_x. They put on a good show, my coworker's son spent 100.00 on their merch and recorded the whole set. HE LOVED IT. It was his first show and I'm glad he had fun.

BUT THEN IT WAS AVENGED SEVENFOLD TIME.



THE MASSIVE DEATHBAT.

ALL THAT PYRO.

TONS AND TONS OF FIRE ALL OVER THE PLACE. MAJOR SWEATING.

Nightmare
Critical Acclaim
Welcome to the Family
Almost Easy
Buried Alive
So Far Away (Dedicated to The Rev's Parents who were in the crowd)
Afterlife
Chapter Four
A Little Piece of Heaven
Bat Country
Unholy Confessions
(with "Crossroads" for pit)
Beast and the Harlot [Encore]

During Critical Acclaim, hearing the Rev's vocals in the venue, Shadow's pointing to the sky and singing. every. single. word. GOD it was heartbreaking and yet provided closure for the fans. So Far Away was beautiful. Why don't I have this song on my ipod? HOW HAD THIS SONG SLIP IN THE CRACKS. I NEED A LIVE RIP STAT.

I legit had a moment with a nice guy in the crowd, during Buried Alive he sang it 1000% and I turned it to him and told him it was awesome that he was singing so hard and from there we just held hands, danced and sang to every single song. IT. WAS. AWESOME. It had been a dream to meet a guy at the show, someone who knows every single song and you just click. I was so breathless at A little Piece of Heaven. I had so much fun, a7x is an act everyone should see at least once. The riffs alone will blow anyone's mind. Seeing ZV and Gates side by side is pure MAGIC on stage.
