Just love how I can update my Blogger, Wordpress & Livejournal simultaneously from my iPhone.
In case you're wondering, yes, I am bored. I'm updating my blogs in bed, about to go to sleep. I'm such a nerd.
OK, off to dreamland to rendezvous with one (or all) of the following:
David Tennant
Orlando Bloom
James McAvoy
Hugh Dancy
Damian Lewis
Ioan Gruffudd
the Fiennes brothers

The one where I'm about to burst from so much excitement.
It has finally happened! One of my favourite bands from the '80s, Level 42, are coming to the US shores for a series of shows in mid-July! Needless to say, I'm absolutely excited about this. It's been 20+ years since they were last in the States, and in my case, I have not seen them live at all, so this is quite the news! I hope they hit LA. I'm sure they will. But regardless, I will fly anywhere in the country to see them.

The one where I wonder about Vegas.
I think I'm the only person I know that doesn't consider Vegas as a place to go to when I want to get away. It wouldn't be my first choice as a holiday spot. I've done the clubbing thing, I've done the shows, the buffets. I mean, what else is there to do? Maybe a once-a-year trip is feasible for me, but to go more than once in a year? I can't imagine myself doing it, nor wanting to, really, unless I have a valid reason to go. I don't know. I suppose Vegas just isn't my thing.
The one where I saw a hobbit, a pirate/commodore, and Shakespeare.
Went to PaleyFest 2010 last night, for the "Flash Forward" panel at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills. Not surprisingly, I got there late. What else is new? I left work later than I wanted to. Then, it seemed like all of Los Angeles decided to be on the freeway at the same time I was. I was driving about 2 miles per hour as soon as I got on the 10 Freeway. Really, people? Really?!
It took forever, but I finally got there. Found Sherry & Mox. Panel was fun. Jack Davenport (Commodore Norrington in "Pirates of the Caribbean") and Dominic Monaghan (Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck in "The Lord of the Rings") were such cut-ups! They were cracking jokes, left and right. I had totally forgotten how funny Jack Davenport could be. Which reminds me, I should start wathing "Coupling" again. John Cho was surprisingly charming, and Joseph Fiennes ("Shakespeare in Love"), is, well, FINE. There were lots of talk about kangaroo poo, grabbing asses, porn names and Jack doing 9,000 sit-ups for his shirtless flash-forward scenes. Seems like a fun group of people. Sherry refrained herself from screaming at the sight of Joe (she's in love with him), and I had to restrain myself from running down the aisle and jumping into the laps of both Jack & Dom.
Didn't get to meet any of the cast. I wanted to, but I didn't want to elbow my way through the crowds. Just as well, because I would've made a complete fool of myself, especially with Dom Monaghan. My hobbit-love runs deep. I would soooo embarrass myself.
Here are a couple of pics I took from last night.

The one where my nose and upper lip are sore.
I've been sick for the past few days. It started on Friday night, and it quickly progressed to the point where I was running a fever and was all stuffed up Sunday morning. I still have the colds, but no fever anymore, thank God! My co-worker/nurse said it's probably a combination of my allergies and an actual cold. Anyway, my nose is sooo red and raw from blowing snot out (sorry, TMI) and so is my upper lip, it's actually cracked. I'm a rotten sickie. I act like a defiant 3-year-old when I'm sick. I need a vacation from this cold. I'm totally over it. OVER, I say!
As a result of my sickness/allergies/whatevertheheckitisthatimsufferingfrom, my taste-buds have been completely out of whack. I cannot appreciate the taste of food, nor know what I actually want to eat. My appetite hasn't been that great. The only time I ate really well was last Sunday night, at my niece's 8th birthday celebration, only because they have beef kaldereta on the menu. That was the only thing that my taste-buds actually enjoyed, especially because it was slightly on the spicy side, which I like my kaldereta to be, every single time. So, I was happy. :)
OSCARS: I thought Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin did a great job, but they didn't get much air time. Their opening shtick was enjoyable. "There's that DAMN Helen Mirren" said Steve. Alec corrected him and said, "it's DAME Helen Mirren". I almost peed my pants. Neil Patrick Harris was a surprise! He did the opening number, where the host usually sings about the nominees, et al. He's adorable. :) I wish I'd seen him play Mark in "RENT" on Broadway, eons ago.
The LXD (Legion of Extraordinary Dancers) danced to/interpreted the nominated songs. That was amazing! I love, LOVE them! I found out the name of the main guy who always does the crazy solo isolations ("robotic moves" for non-dancers out there). His name is Madd Chadd (Chadd Smith). Yes, I'm crushing, BIG TIME. Deal with it. Catch the online series coming out in May 2010. It's Heroes-meets-Flashdance. EPIC. Oh, and Harry Shum, Jr. is part of it. Yes, Michael Chang in "Glee". So, Gleeks out there, check out The LXD series.
Loved that Mo'Nique won. Haven't seen the movie, "Precious" yet, but will queue that on my Netflix once I reactivate my account. Kate Winslet was gorgeous as ever. Have I mentioned how much I love Colin Firth?! If I haven't yet, consider it mentioned. Tom Ford is one gorgeous man. I'm not sure if this is true, but I read a tweet that said Ryan Seacrest asked Tom Ford who he was wearing. I commented that I hope RS was kidding, otherwise... DUH! Who would you think Tom Ford, the designer, would wear? I just thought that was funny. I wouldn't put it past Ryan at all though. OK, enough of my Oscar commentary.
Oh yes, I turned 35 approximately a month ago (2/11). It seems 35 is/will be a significant year for me. I've noticed that people I know are venturing into different things and adventures. I keep asking the Lord if I'm next. My mom and I have been talking about a lot of things lately. I'm surprised that my mom and I on the same page this time. I don't know. She and I are doing a lot of praying and listening. As long as God's will prevails, that's all that matters.
