Sex and the City 2

May 28th! The movie opens May 28th, and I am so excited!

I loved the first movie. I saw it twice in the theater. And of course I bought the dvd as soon as it came out. I hope #2 has just as much drama, comedy, and fashion as the first!

Word is Aidan is back. The girls take a trip to Morocco, and he appears there. Not sure why, but it is sure to be scandalous!

Unfortunately, I can't post the trailer here. Here is a link to view it on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKQ5yRFkBnE

Who's Going Home on AI

I think it's a toss up between Didi and Tim.

Didi didn't sound great, and she is probably one of few contestants who isn't showing any improvement.

Tim isn't progressing either, and his song choices are horrendous. That said, the youngsters love him.

I still want Andrew to go home. His voice is so damn annoying.

And Siobhan has absolute no fashion sense, and I would like for her to be kicked off for wearing those god awful glasses. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with looking different. She looks awful though. And I think she's just being cocky about it. Like, I am such a great singer, I can wearing hideous clothes and people will still like me. Welp, I for one am sick and tired of hearing you scream and trying to figure out just what the hell you're wearing.

I promise at some point I'll write about what I like about the contestants. It's too early for that though.

Another Tribute to the Granite State

These videos are great. I feel like I'm back at home, walking through the Mall of New Hampshire, and fighting the urge to hug people wearing Sox gear.

Here's another video, to the tune of Jay Z's "Empire State of Mind".

IT HAS ARRIVED!!!!

I finally received New Moon in the mail today!

FINALLY!!!!

When did it come out again? A month ago? Ugh, well the wait is over. Tomorrow, after I do a few things around the house and go grocery shopping, I am spending some quality time with Edward and Jacob.

Tuesday's TV

American Idol at 8pm. Usher is the mentor, and the crew will be singing r&b.

Also on tonight:

8pm 90210

9pm Melrose Place

10pm Parenthood. This is a new show. It probably started running a month or so ago. It has a lot of great actors and actresses. Check it out!

Something to Look Forward To!

Stephanie Meyer has a new book to add to the Twilight series! "The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner" will be on shelves June 5th!

TSSLOBT is 192 pages and will be available for fans for FREE on www.breetanner.com. A hard copy will also be available for $13.99, and a portion of the proceeds will go to the American Red Cross. Nice!

For anyone a little fuzzy on who this Bree character is, pull out Eclipse. Bree is one of the many newborn vampires created by Victoria. Meyers was going to include Bree's story as part of the Official Guide, but the story ended up much longer than she anticipated. So she gave us another book!

I am giddy with excitement!

(For the record, I will not be pre-ordering from Amazon. I have yet to receive New Moon! Amazon is very, very bad.)

What We're Watching Tonight

Monday is a good tv night. Here's what our dvr will be recording:

9pm - Gossip Girl and 24

10pm - Damages

A Chuckle at My Husband's Expense

Today is like Christmas for Craig. Tonight after work he's getting together with some friends for their annual Nationals season ticket draw.

Each year he rounds up a few friends and they go in on season tickets for (the worst baseball team ever) the Washington Nationals. The seats aren't half bad. We sit right behind home plate. The team is real bad though. And each year I am promised they will be better than the year before. Cause how much worse can they get?

Anyway, Craig really likes going to games. He REALLY likes going to games. So today is like Christmas to him, and he takes the whole division of tickets pretty seriously. For instance, he has been taking the metro to work. Today he thought it best to drive though. You know, because he had the box of season tickets. Also, he has thought about what he will be eating tonight during the draw--either Potbelly or Chop't. He never puts that much thought behind a meal. Never.

This is real serious stuff though. Tonight will determine how we spend the ENTIRE summer.

I really can't complain though, not this year. You see, last year we had tickets to every, single, home game. We didn't go to them all. We sold or gave away some of the tickets. Even then, we saw a whole lot of the Nationals playing really bad baseball. This year we cut down on the number of seats, so we'll have half the tickets.

Another reason I can't complain, we got great tickets to see the Sox last year, and we have great tickets to see them play the Nats this weekend. One of the advantages of being a season ticket owner is that you get first dibs on tickets to games before they go on sale to the general public. (Btw, when the Sox were in town, the stadium broke it's record for number of attendees. More people came to see a team from a different league than went to the Opening Day at the new stadium in 2008. How sad is that?)

I am sure I will have a number of stories to tell you from all our trips to Nationals Park. So I think this calls for a new label to be added to New Hampshire Avenue. I'll call it "60 Games". They won 59 games last season. I don't think it's too far fetched to think that maybe (just maybe) they can win 60 this season.

Recent Home Tours

The other day we saw a house on Constitution Avenue. The house has two units. The main part of the house has three bedrooms and a bath and half. The basement is a one bedroom rental unit. I don't really want a rental unit, but whatever. I'll look at houses with rental units in hopes that we can easily make the house into one unit.

The rental unit was the least of my worries after seeing the main house. The kitchen was teeny tiny. One, maybe two people could work in the kitchen. It was horrible. (The picture to the right somewhat resembles the kitchen we saw. The picture is probably nicer though.)

The full bath needs to be completely redone. The tiles were old. The vanity looked like the cheapest thing you could buy at Home Depot. And the shower had crazy looking glass doors with some kind of bath fitter unit.

To top it off, it doesn't have a washer and dryer. It has a washer/dryer. Huh??? Yup, one machine that performs the duties of both a washer and dryer. And there was no way you could fit conventional units. Next!

Today we saw a two-bedroom with a basement. I wasn't too excited about the address, but thought I'd give it a chance. The location did suck though. I'm not really into areas that are gentrifying. The definition of gentrify: an unsafe area that may or may not be safe in 10 years. It's certainly a gamble. I'm not willing to gamble with my safety, nor do I want to spend all day indoors. And I don't think nunchucks or a Chinese throwing star would really go with summer wardrobe. Maybe my winter, but certainly not my summer.
