labels and love

I am so terrible behind on tv (again - you're used to it by now, right?) BUT I did manage to go see the Sex and the City movie last night! And oh how I loved it. I won't go into great detail because I don't want to ruin it for people, but I will recommend it. If you loved the series, and you loved Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha, you can't not love the movie. I laughed, I cried, I had a fabulous time.

I do however think the theater I went to got a bad copy of the movie because you could see microphones and such dangling from the ceiling every now and then. Kind of distracting and I can't believe for a moment that that would make it through final editing and out into the public. Weird. But all in all, a good time!

whew.

I opted against the two hour finale of American Idol and turned it on at 9:56pm to find out that David Cook thankfully won by a very safe margin of 12 million votes. What a relief. I sort of wondered what I missed in the previous two hours but I also am pretty sure I don't much care. I'm just glad that Archuleta kid did not win. That would have been the biggest travesty ever.

snooze

I just watched the top two perform in the American Idol finale and I must say, I love David Cook and all but this has been the most underwhelming top two ever. Seriously, kind of a snoozefest. But the judges loooooove them some David Archuleta and I DON'T GET IT.

OMG I just saw a commercial for The Mole - they're starting a new season in two weeks. HOW EXCITED AM I?!

June 2nd, 10pm. MARK YOUR CALENDARS.

david vs. david

Another cuckoo week of week and extreme chaos. I'm getting through it and furiously trying to catch up on tv at the same time. We are down to two on American Idol and it's David Cook vs. David Archuleta. I so can't stand David Archuleta and if he wins there is something very wrong in world. As scary looking as he is, David Cook must win!

I have quietly been catching up on Desperate Housewives and it's kind of great -- Susan just had a baby with Mike the Plumber who found out that Bree's husband Orson was the one who ran him over with a car. Bree confessed to the rest of the ladies that her baby is actually her daughter's baby, and Gabby is married once again to Carlos who is now blind. Lynette has a huge problem on her hands in the form of Kayla, Tom's daughter from a previous relationship. Kayla is a really messed up little girl and bad things happen. And that is pretty much your season in a wrap - tonight is the season finale which will wrap all this up into something that makes you wonder if anyone will care what happens next season. Good times.

and then there were three

I kinda don't understand how another entire week has gone by already. Especially when it was the longest. week. ever. All I can really tell you is that Jason Castro FINALLY got booted off Idol. He did a terribly awful rendition of Bob Marley's I Shot the Sheriff and really shot himself in the face in the process, it was so bad. Really, I can't see any alternative to David Cook winning.

I have to work this weekend...again. After having already worked what seems like an endless number of hours this week. So sad. I need sleep!

oh so tired

It's been a looong exhausting week for your truly and tv has eluded me. I have worked many many hours in many many days (including Saturday into the wee hours of the night) and spent so little time in my apartment that I think my DVR feels neglected.

I think Brooke White got kicked off American Idol this week. Which is very sad, only because that means David Archuleta is still there. But is also good because it means David Cook is still there too!

This morning/afternoon when I finally rolled myself out of bed I watched the final episode of this season's Big Brother, a week after the fact, to discover that Adam won, Ryan only got one vote, and all the contestants were still as obnoxious as I remember them. I really really hope next season is a better one than this turned out to be - it had hope early in the season but then just went downhill to an awful place.

I am going to try my hardest to catch back up today, since I think it's going to be yet another really long, really crazy week. Oh how I love my job!
