George and Sarah breakup

Sources say that George Clooney and his girlfriend Sarah Larson who were together for about one year have decided to call it quits. They met in Las Vegas about four years ago but didn't get together until June of 2007. Sarah Larson was the first date that George Clooney had ever taken as a date to the Oscars and there were even rumors of them getting married but that never seemed to transpire.

Looks like George is going back to what he does best, being a bachelor! ( ;

Thank God it's Thursday

I have been slacking big time with my blog posts but that is because I was sick again last week and had no energy to do it. Now I am back!! Thank God it is Thursday. Thursday's are my Friday because I have Friday's off.

The season finale of LOST is on tonight and I can not wait! It is on at 9:00pm and it is a 2 hour episode. I hope it is a good one and it gives everyone some more answers!

My shoe pick of the day is a pair of shoes from "Naughty Monkey" again. I really like this line of shoes. They sell them at Marshalls, Zappos and other stores. I actually have these shoes and they look adorable with a cute black dress, black dress pants or jeans. They are on Zappos.com for $64.00 right now but I actually got mine at Marshalls awhile back for about $30. Check them out!

Shoe of the day

So my cute shoe pick of the day today are these cute heels from Victoria's Secret. They come in three different designs and I think they are absolutely adorable. They are made by "Naughty Monkey" which is a brand I really love. They always have such cute and funky styles.

I think these shoes are perfect for a cute pair of dress pants or jeans. They are on sale right now for $68.

Check them out.

David Cook wins!!!!

I am so excited that David Cook won American Idol last night. I can't even begin to tell you how ecstatic I was. I wanted to jump right on the computer last night after the show to write about it but I am sick yet again with the worst sore throat ever and I just wanted to go to bed ) :

I am so over joyed that he won though. I really didn't think he was going to win because it seemed like David Archuleta had a bigger fan base and everyone I talked to liked him better then David Cook. But when they announced the winner I think I screamed so loud the whole town of Framingham heard me!

We had to wait a whole 2 hours to find out the winner but the show was awesome. They had guest appearances from Seal, One Republic, Jordin Sparks, and Carrie Underwood. It was the worth the wait because the person that I had liked the whole show through had won.

Congratulations to David Cook!!!!

American Idol Showdown

So last night was the final showdown between David Cook and David Archuleta. They each sang three songs and I think David Cook won the whole thing fair and square. Although the judges thought differently and basically said that David Archuleta won the whole night. It pretty much seemed to me that they had their minds made up right when the show started that they thought David Archuleta was the best of the night.

I was getting extremely annoyed because David Cook did amazing as usual and they were not giving him any credit whatsoever. I think both David's are amazing BUT they are both so different and have such different styles of music. Of course a lot of the older crowd likes David Archuleta because he sings ballads and a lot of people like that but personally I like more of a rock style of music.

We will see what happens tonight. I think either way even if David Cook does not win the whole thing he will definitely go far in his career. He is so talented and I will be the first one in line to get tickets to one of his shows.

My vote is for David Cook.

Shoe obsessed

So I decided that everyday I am going to do a post about shoes. Anyone that knows me knows that I have a major shoe obsession but I am trying to finish paying off my bills so I figure if I blog about the shoes I love rather then go out and buy them then it would probably be better off for me!

So my shoe of the day are these really cute shoes by "Not Rated". They are called "Suit it up Argyle" and they come in aqua blue and brown which I absolutely love and red and brown. They are so adorable and you could wear them to work with a cute pair of dress pants or with a cute pair of jeans and a matching red or aqua shirt. They are only $46.00 and you can find them at Zappos.com which is shoe heaven for me. Check them out!

Road Rage

So I am driving to work this morning and out of nowhere comes this silver Honda Civic that merges onto the road I was on and cuts me off. The thing that annoyed me the most about this is that I have been behind this particular person before and they drive slow as molasses! So they cut me off and then drive about 10 miles per hour the whole entire way to work!! They work right down the street from my work so it's not like they are in front of me for a couple of minutes, its the whole commute!

I am trying to be better about having road rage but I will have to tell you it is very hard living in New England and not having road rage. I just don't get why someone is so quick to get in front of you but then wants to drive so slow. Is this week almost over yet?? ( ;

Go Celtics!!!

So I will have to admit that I am not too into basketball, I am more of a baseball fan myself. But I am always routing for my home teams and the Celtics played the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 7 today and it was a nail biter!

My boyfriend and his friend were watching it and I was reading a book in the other room and I heard them screaming at the t.v so I decided to go in and watch it with them. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and my heart was pounding out of my chest. I will have to say that play off games are awesome to watch even if you aren't a huge basketball fan.

The Celtics ended up winning 97-92 against the Cavaliers and now we are going to be playing the Detroit Pistons Tuesday night in Boston where the Celtics have won 14 straight games and are 8-0 in the postseason. I can't wait! It is going to be exciting. I hope the Celtics go all the way!

Allergies

Why in the world do I have to have allergies?! I don't know if anyone has them as bad as me but I am suffering big time. Yesterday was Jared's sister Jen's shower and it was a lot of fun but i felt bad because all I did the whole time was sneeze, blow my nose and itch my eyes!

I take all kinds of medicines but nothing seems to work for me so I think I might start to do shots. If anyone has any suggestions of what can work for me it would be greatly appreciated because I am sick of feeling like crapola!!

The Happening

There is a new movie coming out called "The Happening" directed by M. Night Shyamalan. It is starring Mark Wahlberg and it opens in theaters June 13th. I saw the preview for it when I went to see "What happens in Vegas" and I knew it would be a movie I would want to see. Mark Wahlberg is one of my favorite actors but on top of that the movie looks so scary and so good.

M.Night Shyamalan gained recognition when he wrote and directed "The Sixth Sense" and "Signs". Most of his movies have some kind of supernatural plot. He is also known for filming his movies in and around Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. If anyone loves scary movies like me and I think this is going to be a MUST SEE!!

If you want to see a trailer of the movie just click on one of the links above.

LOST

On this week's episode of LOST we finally found out who the Oceanic 6 were. The episode begins with Jack, Kate, baby Aaron, Hurley, Sun, & Sayid arriving back on civilization and being questioned by the media. Their families all are waiting for them when they come off of the plane except no one is there to greet Kate. While answering questions to the media, Kate tells them that baby Aaron is her biological baby. Jack mainly talks for everybody stating that the plane crashed in the water and that they were the only people to have survived the crash. There was no mention on any of the other survivors. Everyone just assumes that they all died on impact in the crash.

Sayid is reunited with the love of his life Nadia and Hurley has a welcome home party thrown for him by his mom and dad. His dad surprises him with a reconditioned Camaro that he had been working on ever since Hurley's plane went down. They were about to take it for a spin and when Hurley looks at the odometer it reads 815162342 and he freaks out and jumps out of the car and starts running away from the house.

Once back in South Korea, Sun goes to visit with her father and when her dad asks her about her pregnancy she asks him why he is pretending to care and that he (and an unnamed other person) is to blame for her husband Jin's death. She tells him that she used her Oceanic settlement to buy a huge share of his company and that he will be answering to her now.

Jack has a memorial service for his father so he could finally put closure to his death and say goodbye. At the end of the service he is approached by a woman who tells him that she was probably the last person to see Christian alive when he was in Australia and that she had a baby with him who was also on Oceanic 6. She tells Jack that her name was Claire!!! Jack puts two and two together and realizes that Claire is his sister and baby Aaron is his nephew but he does not reveal this to the woman.

Flashing back to before they all got off the island, chaos is breaking loose on the island because Sayid is trying to get everyone to the freighter because he thinks Keamy and his gang are going to kill everyone. Jack and Sayid tell everyone to get safe and they venture off to figure out what is going on and in their travels they run into Sawyer who tells them what Keamy had done and that Claire was missing.

Meanwhile Ben, Hurley, and Locke have no idea what is going on and they are traveling to the Orchid station so they can "move the island". When they arrive there, Keamy and his gang are already there so Ben comes up with a plan to get Locke inside of the Orchid. The last thing we see is Ben surrendering to Keamy.

Goodbye Syesha

I will have to say that last night's show was a tear jerker for me. I know that everyone that knows me knows that I cry very easily ( ; but i was holding back tears last night watching American Idol. It wasn't because Syesha went home but because it was just nice to see how happy the three remaining contestants were and how overwhelmed they were with happiness.

Of course when they showed David Cook's trip back home I liked that the best but when he was holding back tears that kind of broke me up a little bit. I was making poor Jared watch it with me because he was in the middle of watching the Celtics but I kept switching it back and forth between commercials. He kept calling me a dork everytime I started to almost cry. I felt a little bit better when my mom called me and told me that she thought it was a tear jerker too ( ;

So Syesha was sent home and now it is between the two David's. I can't wait to see what the final outcome is. I think it should be David Cook but you never know what can happen. They are both so talented.

American Idol

So the top 3 performed on American Idol last night. Each contestant had to sing three songs all in one hour's time. They performed one song chosen by the judges, one by the contestant, and one by the producers.

My favorite of the night was of course David Cook. He sang "First time I ever saw your face" chosen by Simon and I loved it. "Dare you to move" by Switchfoot chosen by him which I also thought was awesome and "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith chosen by the producers which I liked but I felt like the band kind of drowned him out.

David Archuleta was my second favorite. He sang "And So it Goes" by Billy Joel chosen by Paula Abdul which I thought was OK. "With You" by Chris Brown that I thought was also OK but I felt like he felt very awkward singing it and he seemed extremely awkward singing it and his last song was "Longer" by Dan Fogelberg which I actually liked a lot but I think it is only because I really like the song.

Syesha was my last pick and she sang "If I ain't got you" by Alicia Keys chosen by Randy which I thought was too big of a song choice for her. Not many people can sing like Alicia Keys. Second she sang "Fever" by Peggy Lee which I did not like at all and her last song was "Hit me up" by Gia Farrell and I wasn't too crazy about that song choice either.

I think David Cook definitely did the best last night and I think after tonight it will be between the two Davids. We will find out at 9:00pm.

Heartbroken

So the latest gossip news that I heard today that I got a kick out of was the fact that Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner made it public that he will not ever marry his long time girlfriend Holly Madison. They have been together for years now and they live together but Hugh states that “marriage isn’t a piece of his puzzle” and that “it’s not a personal thing but he just hasn’t had much luck with marriages.”

She is probably staying with him because he is extremely successful and wealthy but come on now! She could pretty much get any guy she wants and she is 28 years old! He is 82! I just can’t believe she would stay with a man for this long that is this much older then her when he flat out tells her that he will never marry her. I guess to each their own!

Galco Holsters

My Weekend

I had a really fun weekend but it went by way too fast. Friday is my day off so that is always a plus so I didn’t do that much that day. Saturday night Jared and I went out to dinner at Legal Seafood with his friend Tommy and his wife Rachel. Then we saw “What happens in Vegas” with Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz. I wasn’t sure how I was going to like the movie but I ended up loving it! I was laughing so hard at some parts I was crying!

Sunday I went to lunch in the North End with Jared and his family for lunch at Pagliuca's and then to see David Copperfield at the Opera house. Jared’s sister Jen had bought us tickets for Christmas. The food was delicious and the show was so fun. We all had wished that the show was a little bit longer since it was only an hour 1/2 but it was worth it. I had a great time.

LOST

So LOST was on last night and it was a very bizarre episode. They kept flashing back into Locke's life when he was first born to a very young mother who ended up giving him up for adoption. Richard Alpert, one of the Others who was last seen leading the others to the temple, visited Locke several times throughout his life. He was sent an invitation to a science camp which Locke refused and then years later when Locke was in the hospital recuperating from being thrown out the window by his father an orderly working there tried to convince him to take a walkabout. We have seen the orderly throughout the show and he is quite creepy.

Throughout the show Locke, Ben & Hurley ventured off to find the "Jacob" and the so-called cabin. They were having no luck and stopped to sleep and try again in the morning. During the night Locke had a very strange dream about Horace Goodspeed. Horace was one of the Others that died when Ben gassed the Dharma Initiative. In the dream Horace told Locke that in order to find "Jacob" he would have to find him. Locke goes back to the shallow grave that Ben brought him to awhile back with all the skelatal remains of the Others that were killed in the gassing. He found Horace's remains and when going through his shirt pocket finds the map to the cabin.

When Locke, Ben, & Hurley get to the cabin they both refuse to go with Locke into the cabin. Locke goes into the cabin very bravely and in the pitch darkness he sees a dark figure sitting in the corner of the cabin. Finally out of the darkness we see Christian (Jack's dad) sitting there. That is all well and good but Christian is supposed to be dead. We all saw his dead corpse laying in the coffin many episodes ago! To put a bigger twist on this we then see Claire sitting on the opposite side of the cabin looking very at ease and with a creepy smile on her face. She tells Locke not to worry and that she is fine with Christian. After leaving the cabin Locke tells Ben & Hurley that Christian told him he needs to "move the island".

Who knows what is going to happen now. The previews for next weeks episode look awesome and I don't think I can wait 6 more days to see it. It looks that the Oceanic 6 are going to be introduced next week. Cant wait!

Congratulations Dani!

So I just wanted to say Congratulations to Danielle!! She got engaged to her boyfriend Tony last night and I can't even begin to say how truly happy I am for her!

She is one of my best friends and I don't know anyone who deserves this more then she does. I can't wait till the wedding and to see her and Tony's relationship grow into a wonderful, happy marriage. Love you Dani!!

Ba Bye Jason Castro!

So it finally happened! Jason Castro was sent packing last night on American Idol. It was not a surprise to me that he went home but I was a little bit nervous that his teenage girl fan base was going to keep him in and send Syesha home but thank the Lord that didn't happen! I was listening to the radio this morning on the way into work and all the stations were saying how they thought Jason was overwhelmed about how far he had actually gone in the competition and that he just was so inexperienced that he couldn't take it anymore. I think that Carly Smithson should have been in his spot in the final four.

Bo Bice and Maroon 5 also performed last night. I was a huge fan of Bo Bice when he was on American Idol but I will have to say that I wasn't loving his performance last night at all. He didn't sound as good as he used to. I loved Maroon 5 though. Adam Levine has an unbelievable voice.

Next week the final 3 have to sing 3 songs each. I can't wait to see what happens!!

American Idol

I just watched American Idol and I had to write on here ASAP. Please Please Please tell me that Jason Castro is going home tonight. Jared watched the show with me for the first time tonight and could not believe how bad he was and kept saying how he couldn't believe he had even come this far. It was hard getting him to watch with me since the Red Sox and the Celtics were on but he was a good sport about it. Tonight they sang songs from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Jason Castro tried to sing a Bob Marley song and a Bob Dylan song. It was horrible.

David Cook sang "Teenage Waste Land" by the Who and "Hungry like the wolf" by Duran Duran. I thought he was awesome (of course) but "Teenage Waste land" was my favorite. He seemed a little bit distracted tonight though and I hope that doesn't ruin his chances of winning because he should win the whole thing.

Syesha sang "Proud Mary" by Tina Turner and "A change is going to come" I thought she did really good tonight. She started crying after her second song and was very emotional tonight. She is definitely a very talented girl and should definitely be in the final 3.

David Archuleta sang "Stand by me" and "Love me tender". He also did really good tonight. The judges seemed to like him the best. He is a sweetheart and soooo talented but I really think that he is too young to win the whole competition. I am very biased though because I love David Cook ( ;

We will see what happens tomorrow night at 9pm! I will be so shocked if Jason Castro is not the one to go home! It should be interesting.

Final Four

Tonight at 8pm American Idol is on with the final 4 performers! We have David Cook, David Archuleta, Syesha Mercado and Jason Castro. Who will go home tomorrow night!!!??

This is for you Michelle!

Back in the day when my best friend from high school Michelle and I were walking home from school we came up with this very funny song that we made up on our walk home. I can’t even begin to tell you what we were thinking or how we came up with all the words to this bizarre song but we both still know the words and here it is!

Hannah Banana, Dilly, Slippy, Sloppy, Fightey Joshey, Ali, Mickey, Chrissie, Bethy, Erin, Slimey so f*cka youie. Meatball ice cream, exclamation point, disco boogie, poopie on the looey and you’re a mama lushi so don’t do the ah! I LIKE IT! BOHUNK! Zestfully clean! You’re not fully clean unless you’re zestfully clean! Stirb! Don’t move!!

Dexter

I don’t know if anyone has ever seen the show on Showtime called “Dexter” but it is really good. If you do not have movie channels you can watch it on Channel 4 on Sunday nights at 9pm. Last night was the 2 hour season finale of season one and it was awesome but they are playing season two on Showtime right now.

When I first started watching it I thought to myself my God this show is really bizarre but then it grew on me big time! It is about a guy named Dexter, played by Michael C. Hall, who was adopted at a very young age by a police officer. When he was growing up his dad noticed that his behavior was very strange and that he was going to end up being a serial killer so he taught his son to kill “bad people” rather then innocent people.

Dexter ends up being a forensics blood expert on the Miami Police Department and becomes obsessed with tracking the “ice truck killer” meanwhile doing killing of his own. The thing that is strange about the show is Dexter is a very likeable person even though he is a killer. You actually really grow to like him.

Check it out. It’s a great show!!

Lost

Lost was on last night and it was one of my favorite episodes so far this season. To try to make a long story short, the episode kept going from present to future with Jack & Kate. In the present Jack is very sick on the island and come to find out he needs to have his appendix taken out before it ruptures. Juliette decides to do his surgery for him and all ends up well with him. In the future it shows Jack & Kate living together with Claire's baby Aaron. We still don't know why Kate has Aaron but at the end of this episode Claire disappears into the woods starting to give us some answers as to why Aaron got off the island and she did not.

Jack is still practicing as a doctor in this episode and seems very very happy living with Kate. He ends up proposing to her and she says yes. They seem happy until Jack goes to visit Hurley in the mental hospital and is very rattled when he hears what Hurley has to say to him. Hurley seems very mentally deranged and tells Jack that he see's Charlie and that Charlie left Jack a message saying that the baby (Aaron) should not be raised by him. He also told Jack that someone would be coming to visit him soon.....

It then shows Jack dictating patient reports in his office at work and he keeps hearing a sound outside the door. He goes to check it and it is a low battery on a smoke detector but when he goes out to the lobby he see's his dad (who is dead) sitting in a chair in the waiting area. He starts to have a panic attack and when one of his co workers walks by she asks if he is ok and he turned back to the chairs and his dad was gone.

He goes home and finds Kate on the phone. When he asks who it is she behaves very strange and tells him it is a friend of hers that she met at the playground with Aaron. He doesn't question her but does not believe her and begins to drink heavily. The next night he comes home from work to find Kate not home yet. He begins drinking and waiting for her to come home. When she arrives he questions where she was but she did not want to tell him. She finally admits that she was with Sawyer because she had to do something for him. It looks like Sawyer must be one of the Oceanic 6!

Goodbye Brooke

So last night on American Idol Brooke White went home. I knew it was going to be either Brooke or Jason Castro to go home but I thought Jason Castro should've gone home before Brooke. Jason and David Archuleta were the first two that were called out on the stage and told they were safe and that is when I started to freak out because the three left standing were Syesha, Brooke White and David Cook and I kept saying Good Lord! If David Cook even gets sent home tonight I will never watch this show again!!!

I felt so bad for her when they told her she was going home. I don't think I have ever seen someone get so emotional on the show before but you can tell she is a very sensitive, emotional person. I hope she goes far after this show. She is talented and seems like a really nice person.

Good Luck Brooke!!
