FOTW: Chris Pine

As promised, I do have an American guy this time around (although, I will add, he can do an excellent English accent and also studied acting in England).



Chris Pine

I fell in love with him when I saw him in Princess Diaries 2, and I've loved him in everything I've seen him in ever since. I mean, have you not seen the new Star Trek? How could you not be in love with the man? And yes, I even watched that terrible Just My Luck film he did with Lindsay Lohan JUST because he was in it.

Although I'm sure my dear friend would fight me for him, he'd be worth it. Honestly, he is gorgeous, and his blue eyes are amazing. ALSO, may I just add that he has an English degree?!!!! I mean hello, we were meant for each other!

So anyways, this week's FOTW is Chris Pine: absolutely dreamy and loves literature. Sounds like a match made in Heaven to me.

*Side note: I promise to do a real/personal post soon. A LOT of stuff has happened recently that I want to tell you all about, but it's also prevented me from typing it all up in a post. But, I promise it's coming... Be ready.

FOTW: Two For One-Second

Here's your 2nd FOTW for this week!

I recently saw this delightful young man (bah... umm he's only 3 years older than me!) in Thor, and it reminded me how much I loved him in the 5 minutes at the beginning of Star Trek that he was in before his character got killed off.

You know who I'm talking about:



Chris Hemsworth

Can I just tell you, it was so hard to pick from all of the amazingly sexy pictures on Google of him for that slideshow? No, seriously, they are like all really good and I just want to stare at all of them.

However, I will say, I definitely like him now in his Thor, bulkier, muscular self than in his younger, skinner "Home and Away" self (it was a TV show he was in in Australia). He looked very boyish, which isn't bad, but I definitely like him more manly and studlier.

Also, I think he is more attractive than his younger brother Liam* (who is the same age as my brother!) Although they are both cute, don't get me wrong:

*Who, as a side note, will be playing Gale in The Hunger Games movie.

But anyways, Thor was great, and I'm excited to see him in The Avengers as well. And... really anything else he's in. He is just so beautiful to look at AND he's Australian. Look... I'm sorry I have a thing for guys with accents. Next week I'll try to pick an American guy... :)

Bonus FOTW: Chris Hemsworth, way cuter than his brother Liam (and from what I can tell tons cuter than his older brother Luke), and definitely looks better beefed up.

FOTW: Two For One-First

So... I'm a total slacker and I missed my FOTW for last week. Don't get me wrong; I totally had one in mind and lined up, but I never got around to actually typing it up and getting it posted. So, lucky for you, you get 2 FOTW this week (I'll post the 2nd one a little later in the week)! I know... pretty exciting.

If you've been around me or follow me on Twitter/Tumblr, you'll know that ever since I saw X-Men: First Class that I absolutely loved it and fell even more in love with James McAvoy. But, since I've already had Mr. McAvoy as a FOTW, I decided it'd be best to give other beautiful men a chance and not have a repeat. Well, I also fell more in love with this man in X-Men: First Class:


Michael Fassbender

The X-Men movie was not the first thing I was lucky enough to see that handsome man in. No, I saw him in Jane Eyre and I LOVED his Rochester (and I've seen lots of versions of that movie):


He was also in Inglorious Basterds, but I have yet to see that movie. Before that he was in some crappy films, and in a lot of TV series and TV movies. But he is great and very sexy. Yes, he plays Magneto, the "bad guy" in X-Men, but he does a very good job. And the friendship that Magneto and Professor X have in this new X-Men (before Magneto becomes evil) is amazing and they (James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender) do such an excellent job in portraying their relationship. Also, they are incredibly cute together in interviews, and you can tell that they really are friends. (Click here for one such interview, where they interview each other.)

So, a little belated, but the first FOTW: Michael Fassbender, handsome, versatile, and did I mention that he too has an accent? :)

FOTW: 80s Edition

So, I don't know if you know this, but I have a Tumblr. It's kind of like a blog but kind of like Twitter, and I love it. I've "met" so many cool people on there and learned more about those I already knew. I like it. Don't worry, I won't be abandoning you for Tumblr, but I enjoy it. Anywhos, they have a bunch of 30-day challenges that float around on Tumblr that you can do, and being bored and in a Tumblr lull, so to speak, I decided to do one of the challenges. I picked one about movies (of course).

One of the questions (and the fact Joy Luck Club was on TV a few days ago, which I totally forgot he was in), reminded me how much I adored (and still kind of do) this man:
Andrew McCarthy

He is in one of my guilty pleasure 80s movies: Mannequin. I love it. For more explanation click here.

So yeah, I always thought Andrew McCarthy was way cute, and he's definitely not terrible looking now-a-days (see the last picture in the slideshow). In the 90s, (after his hey-day "brat pack" years in the 80s) he sure did make a lot of made for TV movies. And apparently he's been in some TV shows recently, but I haven't seen them. I still like to remember him as his 80s self. :)

FOTW: A blast from the past and a reminder of how some 80s movies will live on forever. :)

While in San Diego...

I pretty much decided that I want to get married here:

San Diego LDS Temple

And then have my reception/stay the night here:

Lodge at Torrey Pines

Lodge at Torrey Pines

Also you should watch this incredibly over-the-top video they have advertising their lodge: Click Here. (And yes, there really are kilt-wearing men that open your car, and REAL bellhops all dressed up like they are in movies with a hat and everything that take care of your luggage). (Side note: I felt super sorry for the kilted men because it was REALLY cold outside... I hope they had some covering on underneath unlike real Scottish men.)

The lodge was where my family had a luncheon after my cousin's graduation (the reason why we went to San Diego in the first place). It's famous for its golf course because it's where they had the 2008 US Open (cool, but ummm don't care about golf). It has a view of the ocean, it is beautiful, and the food was freakin' amazing. I would definitely love to get that food again (hence the wedding reception idea).

To me, I think this is a wonderful plan, except for the whole... I need to find a man to marry first. Oh and the fact that this would cost a FORTUNE, and therefore either I need to come into some money through a long lost relative or publishing a best-seller/becoming famous OR my future husband has to be rolling in some Benjamins himself.

Yeah... we'll see if my wish actually comes true. But, other than that, San Diego was beautiful and cold which I loved since when I came back to Texas it was disgustingly hot (in comparison) and I wanted to go back immediately. I actually don't think I'd mind living there either, but we'll see if that ever happens either. Here's a few other pics to enjoy:

Me at the beach on Coronado

Some beautiful plants on the University of San Diego campus

Went to the Mormon Battalion historical site (which was way fun and interactive, definitely recommend if you're in the area)

My awesome family purposefully taking an awkward family photo

FOTW: Chris O'Dowd

This week's FOTW was a last minute change. As you might have noticed, it's coming a little later in the week than normal. I didn't have a post already lined up and I was trying to think about who it should be. I had a few in mind that had come about because of recent conversations, but now I'm REALLY glad I didn't just put one of them up (they'll get on here eventually, I'm sure). Why?

Because I saw Bridesmaids last night, and not only did I laugh my butt off, but I fell in love.

First off, if you haven't seen Bridesmaids and you are a female between the ages of 20 and 70 and not morally opposed to Rated R movies, you need to go see this film. Not only is it hilarious but it is also touching and has a great message.

Second, the man who plays the main love interest is ADORABLE!!! The whole time I kept thinking, this main is cute, has an accent, and his character is just so dang precious! As soon as I came home, I looked him up on IMDB. Chris O'Dowd (the last picture is him in my favorite part in Bridesmaids):



Turns out, I've seen him before, only he had a full beard and played a bad guy (it was Gulliver's Travels, which I'm sure none of you saw. What can I say? I'm a fan of Jack Black.). He hasn't been in much stuff, at least nothing I've really seen, but he is cute. Not a hunk, but adorable nonetheless.

Now, it could be because of the character he plays in Bridesmaids, which I would like to add I was not the only one who fell in love with them in that theater because there were several women behind us that were ooh-ing and aww-ing right along with me. His character is so sweet and tries to do well and be supportive/encouraging to Kristen Wiig's character, and you just can't help but love him.

Also... did I mention he has an accent? Because he does... he's Irish!

So a little belated but well worth it, the FOTW is Chris O'Dowd.

FOTW: Lee Pace

A while ago some friends told me that I should watch Pushing Daisies mainly because it was cute and funny and because it had Kristen Chenowith in it, who I think is pretty amazing. Then my mom watched it and told me the same thing. Then I discovered it was on Netflix Instant Streaming and got really excited!

Thanks to Netflix, Pushing Daisies has turned out to be the TV show I watch while I make my cakes and the decorations for them. I don't know why this is, but it is. And, since I made some decorations this last weekend, I of course watched a few episodes of this awesome show (honestly, you should watch it too because it's cute, and I'm so sad it got canceled) and was reminded of how cute, handsome, and adorable the main character is:



Lee Pace is cute, and what I love is he isn't like GORGEOUS like a hunk, but he is very cute and handsome. I'll be honest though, I am pretty much only basing this judgement on his appearance in Pushing Daisies. I looked him up on IMDB, and I really haven't seen anything else he's been in, or if he's been in it, I can't recall his character in it (When in Rome, for example). BUT, he is going to be in Breaking Dawn (meh) and The Hobbit (WOOT!).

However, after some research (aka googleing and IMDB bio reading), I discovered some things about him that make me like him even more:

• He was born in Oklahoma (which is not as good as being born in TX, but it's close!)
• He grew up in Houston (see he did finally get to Texas!!!)
• The man was so good at acting he went to Julliard. JULLIARD PEOPLE!!!

So this week's FOTW is Lee Pace: mostly Texan, Julliard graduate, and all around handsome man.

The Glorious Weekend of Nothingness

Ok, I lie, it wasn't really nothingness, but it was the first weekend in a long while that I didn't have to worry  or procrastinate doing school work!

Yes, on Wednesday, I finished my first year of grad school. Pretty crazy huh?

I survived!

And now that I was done I got as much social interaction with others and doing things I like as I could:

• Wednesday night I hung out with some girlfriends until much later than I should have since I had work the next day. 
• Thursday... I don't even remember what I did, which of course means it must have been awesome and chill (I probably just chilled at home with the fam, honestly... actually now that I think about it... I think I went shopping). 
• Friday I had off and got my hair did and then went to a party and then the movies with some friends. 
• Then on Saturday I went garage-saleing with my dad, little bro and sis (which was an adventure) and then I spent the rest of the day shopping and chatting it up with one of mi amiga mayor. :)
• Sunday was... you know Sunday, but I did get to sleep in and then I spent the night making cupcake decorations for a baby shower this weekend.

I know... you're pretty jealous. Well, don't be... you could be one of these friends in the future because I'm only taking one online class this summer, so I'm going to live it up as best I can.

Who wants to party next?!

FOTW: James McAvoy

If you know me but at all, you know that I have a great affinity for a man with an accent. This week's FOTW is definitely a man with an accent, more importantly, a hot man with an accent:


When I first saw James McAvoy, it was in The Chronicles of Narnia, where I'll admit I said to myself, that is one pretty cute half man, half goat:

But, I soon forgot about him, until I saw him in Penelope, which was cute. BUT they made him have an American accent, which I was not okay with.

And then it happened. I saw him in Becoming Jane, and I fell in love. The movie itself is not a super awesome movie, but James McAvoy is pretty good. And he does so well at flirting, and they have the best near kiss ever:


Then Atonement was awesome (we'll just ignore that Wanted movie that I was so close to seeing because of him but heard terrible things about so I never saw it), and I'm super excited to see him in The Conspirator (despite him having an American accent; thanks Annaleese for telling me about that movie!) AND X-Men: First Class as Professor X.

So, this week's FOTW is James McAvoy--blue eyes, dark hair, and a Scottish accent? I'll take it!

FOTW: Zachary Levi

Clearly, I'm on a "nerd" trend as of late. Zachary Levi is best known for his role as Chuck Bartowski (aka Charles Carmichael) on the NBC TV show "Chuck" (which if you have not seen, you are missing out because the entire show is cute and charming, and full of heart, as well as love, action, and comedy :) ) (He also appeared on a TV show called "Less Than Perfect" also, but I unfortunately have not seen that show. Wonder if it's on Netflix...).



Anyway, I love Zach on "Chuck" because he is so cute and honest and nerdy. And, I'm pretty sure that his character is not far from his real-life personality (I follow him on Twitter; I can tell). As evidenced by the Star Trek pose in the slideshow, he is a HUGE nerd and he loves video games and has even created his own shirts/products/site: The Nerd Machine.

THEN it gets even better, the man can SING. Have you seen Tangled?? That's totally him singing as the voice of Flynn Rider. See:


Want to see more of him singing (because honestly who wouldn't)? No problem, click here, and here, and here.

Ahhh he's adorable. And I heart him.

This week's FOTW is Zachary Levi: He can sing, he's a nerd, he's gorgeous, he seems pretty down to Earth, and he's only 6 years older than me! (BONUS!)

Alone at the Movies

On Wednesday I decided that I would go to the movies by myself, something I'm pretty sure I have never done in my life. Somehow I always think I'll hate it or I'll look like a loser if I go alone. That and I always want to talk about the movie afterwards, and how can I do that if I went by myself?

Well, I had a coupon for a movie that would expire on Thursday, so I had to use it on Wednesday, my only available day, and since my mom decided she'd rather study and take practice tests, I went alone.

It wasn't that bad.

It helped that I went and saw what turned out to be a rather cute/good movie (Water For Elephants). But, I got a rather good seat since it was just me (something I found out when I was getting seated to be on Jimmy Fallon in New York), and the ladies next to me were pretty nice.

The movie was surprisingly good. I haven't read the book (although it was on my long list of ones I'd get to someday), and with that said, I really liked the movie (not sure how it compares though). I love Reese Witherspoon, but I am not a huge fan of Robert Pattinson. BUT, someone must have taught him how to act because he wasn't half bad. And, I've decided he definitely looks way better when he has some color in him and doesn't look like he's in pain all the time.

So, I recommend going to see Water For Elephants, and being willing to go to the movies alone. It wasn't terrible, and I might do it again. Who knows?

FOTW: Sam Huntington

I know some of you might be thinking, who the heck is Sam Huntington? I know, at first I could only recognize his face but I never really knew his name. But, once you see him, I'm pretty sure you'll know who I'm talking about:


Looks familiar, right? Still can't recall where you've seen him? Well, I'll help you out.

I first remember seeing him in a little film called Jungle 2 Jungle with Tim Allen and Martin Short:

He plays Mimi Siku!

He's also been in Sleepover (which although incredibly cheesy, I still think is adorable, but he's so cute and funny in it AND it's got Jane Lynch!!!) and in Superman Returns. He's been in various other things and TV shows (Veronica Mars, that ridiculous commercial turned TV series: Cavemen) including, most recently, Being Human on Syfy. In the TV series (which my mom discovered and told me about) he plays a werewolf who lives with a vampire and a ghost:

While I'll admit that his vampire counterpart is also very attractive, there is just something about Sam here that is just cute and kind of nerdy. His character is hilarious (more so than the vampire who always has to appear serious and brooding all the time). He just seems way more real to me, which makes me love him all the more (Team Jacob anyone?).

So this week's FOTW is Sam Huntington--a little nerdy but very funny and handsome!

I'm Super Excited for These

When I was avoiding doing homework this last weekend, I started watching movie trailers on IMDB. I am really psyched to see the following (in no particular order):

X-Men First Class:


The Green Lantern:

Thor: 

The Three Musketeers: 

The Help: 

Captain America:

And of course, HARRY POTTER!!!:

And I am slightly intrigued for the following:

Abduction: 

Cowboys & Aliens: 

Super 8: 

Larry Crowne: 

Two Words

I'm tired.

The end of this semester could not come any faster. Friday I was so tired that the following things happened:

• While in the shower that morning, I couldn't remember if I had actually washed my hair or not. (For the story click here)
• I stared at a note I had written to myself the day before for 5 minutes and still didn't know what it meant. (For the note click here)
• My flip flop broke and then I forgot my fob (what I need to get into work) in my car when I got back from lunch and was too tired and lazy to go back to get it. (For the tragic details click here)
• I didn't feel like going out and doing anything (not to mention I had homework to do), so I stayed home while my family went to the mall and declined an invitation to watch a movie with friends.

Saturday was more of the same. I stayed home and worked on stuff while my family went out. Then I got so tired of staring at my computer that I refused to do anymore work and watched Easy A on Starz on Demand with my mom and little brother while the windy storm blew our lawn furniture across our backyard and cut the power to the cable several times (we had to restart and fast forward Easy A three times).

Today was pretty good. I did nothing productive until about 10pm because I thought watching Last Cake Standing and Food Network Challenge with my family was more important.

Basically, I'm tired of having to be anti-social, and I want to be done with school, but I'll settle for the semester being over at least. 

19 more days till May 13th.

Flavor of the Week

A friend of mine has a Tumblr in which every week she admits who her secret celebrity crush is and why she likes him. Because I love reading her Tumblr so much, I decided that I'd start a little admitting myself as to who my celebrity crushes are.

New series: Flavor of the Week

Every week (whenever I darn well feel like it), I'll admit to you who I'm having a secret celebrity crush on. I'm sure there'll be a few that are pretty obvious, but I'm hoping there'll be some obscure ones that you might not have thought of or even know who they are. :)

Because I want to start out the series strong, I've decided to pick someone with whom I've had a crush on since I was little and who is pretty much awesome. It will come as no surprise because I've already shared with you my undying love for this person in a previous post.

That's right, Robert Downey, Jr., or as I like to call him: RDJ. Behold the sexiness:


Yeah, he's had some rough years, but he is so much better now, has actually fixed his life, and clearly he doesn't give a crap what you say. AND that's what I love. He admits he had a problem that he was messed up and he can joke about it now that he's better. The man is hilarious as well as handsome and a great actor. I don't care how crappy the movie is, I'm going to see it because he's in it.

I heart him, and I always will.

And so RDJ is my FOTW forever. :)

Perhaps It's For The Best

A few posts ago I mentioned how my awesome plan to graduate by May 2012 was going to have to be altered. Now that I've started thinking about it, I'm thinking it's probably okay that I wasn't able to take any classes in my program this summer. I am taking one class over the summer (a what-might-turn-boring-real-quick marketing class), and it's online! YAY!

Basically, I need a break. This semester has really got to me and I'm only 2 weeks away from the end (minus final projects/papers) and I am just dragging myself to the end. It's been fun and enlightening, yes, but it's also been a ton of work and reading and creativity. And I'm just ready to not have to be so philosophical and intellectual all the time. I love it, but sometimes you just need to read fluffy teen books. You know what I mean?

Anyway, I am ready to finish up some craft projects this summer, read my fill of cheesy fiction/fantasy books and watch all the ridiculous comedy movies I've been missing because of school. Never thought I'd say this, but Friday May 13th can't come soon enough. It'll be my lucky day. :)

I Clearly Have A Problem

After today, it has become clear to me that while I am in my car I am subconsciously a bird killer. Let me explain.

I went with my mom to Panera, and when we came out, my mom found this in the front of my car:

I don't know how it got there or when it actually happened, because it's not like I examine the front of my car every time I get in or out of my car (despite what they teach you in driving school). But, somehow I hit a small defenseless bird with my car and it got stuck.

But, if you'll recall, this isn't the first time I accidentally hit a bird with my car.

So, obviously, I am an accidental murderer of birds.

It's freakin' terrible, and I'll be honest I was more grossed out than upset about the bird (so maybe something is wrong with me!?) although I was upset about the bird too. But it gets better, I had to drive with the visible guilt evident on my car for at least 6 miles while my mom taunted me saying that other people were probably wondering why I had a bird stuck on my car, that it got sucked in after it pooped on my windshield and the like.

The worst part, though, was when my mom and I arrived at our final destination and we asked the older gentleman who was present to please remove it for me. So, he got a stick and flicked it out. Then he started swishing the stick around and all these feathers came out. Yuck.

What stinks is I just had my car washed. Now it's got bird poo, feathers, guts, and blood on it, AKA the evidence of my latest killing. Birds beware, you don't know when I'll strike next!

My Brilliant Plan is Falling Apart

I may have told some of you, but my plan for grad school was for me to be done by May 2012. The program is 33 hours long (including the final capstone class/project). I started school last August, and my goal was to finish with school as fast as I could. Here was my plan:

Take 6 credit hours (so not quite full-time for a grad student, that'd be 9 hours) for every semester except for one semester in which I'd have to brave 3 more credit hours and be a full-time student working full-time. I'd go without a break, meaning I'd take classes during the summer as well. But, it'd be okay because I'd graduate by May 2012.

That plan is now quickly falling apart.

Why? Because my program is not offering any classes this summer. I had not accounted for this, and now my plan is going to have to be this:

I'm taking one 3 hour elective class over the summer (hopefully I can get that approved since it's outside of my prescribed electives for my program), and then I'm taking a full-time student class load of 9 hours for both Fall and Spring semesters so that I can still graduate by May 2012.

In other words....

By this time next year, I might be dead.

Ok, I'm being dramatic, but I seriously am freaking out about how I'm going to be able to handle a full-time class load with working full-time. I could spread it out, but I can't tell you how bad I want to be done by next May. I have a count down already. I want... nay, NEED, to be done by then. I HAVE TO BE!!!!

Lots of people have done it right? I can do it. I CAN do it... I hope.

Crafts, Books, and My Imagination Running Away With Me

Recently, I've been on this crafting kick and I've been reading/following on Tumblr a lot of crafty blogs and crafty-type people for inspiration. I don't know why I do this to myself because we all know how I am about finishing projects that I start. But, anyway, I came across this video that explains how to make a cool invisible shelf that makes it looks like your books are floating on the wall, like so:

Pretty cool, right? So I decided I desperately needed these shelves, because not only do they look pretty sweet, but it would help me get all the piles of books that I have laying on the ground off the floor. Since the video made it look pretty easy, I figured, what the hey. Now because I did not have any big heavy books that I was willing to sacrifice, I decided to go to Half Price Books (oh how I love thee) to find some in the clearance section or there abouts that looked pretty cool that I would not care about cutting into.

Then I came across these lovely beauties:

Awesome right? Perfect for looking nice on the wall since the spine is really all I care about. Well, if you've never heard of Half Price Books, it's a used bookstore that buys and sells (at half price) used books. It is a real treasure trove and I love going there because 1. it's cheap and 2. it's got books and 3. I always find some pretty cool/unique stuff. I love going there just to see what I can find when I have no particular book I'm looking for, like for this project, for example.

Anyway, as I started looking through these red books to see how much they were ($6) and which ones I wanted (I couldn't buy all of them at $6 each!), I noticed that many of them had an inscription on the inside cover (another thing I love about looking through used books). Then I noticed it was all the same inscription over the period of 3 years and for various holidays:

They are all for "Mom" from "Neal" and sometimes from "Neal and Sally." It dates back from the mom's birthday in 1969 to Valentine's Day of 1971. Out of the 12 books in the collection available at Half Price books, only 4 of them did not have an inscription. Despite the lack of an inscription on 4 of them, I feel it's safe to assume that it was an entire set once owned by "Mom" and given to her from "Neal" (and a few from "Sally"). But, here's where my imagination ran away with me.

As I started thinking more and more about the inscription and why this whole set would be at Half Price Books, it made me kind of sad. I'm guessing Neal was the son (I know pretty crazy guess, huh?), and this woman either loved book collections, Newsweek, art, or art museums. In the hopes to get a great gift that he could spread out in several gifts (I'm sure they were expensive, since I just saw that the set is going for $135 on eBay.), Neal decided to get his mom this set of books to show his mom all of these great places and the art contained inside them since most likely she would not be able to go to these far off exotic art museums.

I'm also guessing that Sally was a sister. My mom thought that perhaps she was Neal's wife or girlfriend, but because Sally only shows up in two inscriptions: that for Christmas 1969 and June 14, 1970, I think I'll stick with my sister assumption. I'm curious, however, about the June 14, 1970 inscription, since it's the only specific date in the set. Is that "Mom's" birthday? An anniversary of marriage? Death? Why is this date so significant? The details are too few that I can't venture a guess on this one.

And finally, why did this entire beautiful collection wind up at the Half Price Books in McKinney, TX. Sadly, I think that "Mom" is no longer with us, and as "Neal" was forced to go through all of the things that once belonged to his mother, he couldn't bare to keep this book collection. Maybe they were too heavy, a waste of space, he felt he'd never have a use for them, or maybe they reminded him too much of his mother and all of the occasions and memories he had of her receiving each book and her reaction as she opened the present. Knowing he and the books might be better off in a new home, he sold them, along with others, I'm sure, to Half Price books.

Where a few have just become my new bookshelves...

Spring Break--Evening Edition

This week is my very first spring break in my entire college career, and sadly it means nothing. I always thought spring breaks were cool, party-filled, friend-filled extravaganzas... perhaps I was misinformed. Or maybe it's because I'm a lame-o and still have to work. Spring breaks just don't mean the same thing when you're working a full-time job without a whole lot of vacation time.

While at BYU, I never got a spring break (although I didn't complain about it... too much... because we got out at the end of April). Now that I have one... not only do I have to work, but I have tons of homework to do. Dang graduate degrees!

Anyway, despite the fact that I'm working all week (although I do get Friday off, so yay!), I'm trying to make the most of my evenings without class:

Tonight I went to the dollar theater with a few friends and saw The Fighter. While I wouldn't say it was the best movie, it made me heart Mark Wahlberg even more (yes, I'll admit... I have a secret crush on Marky Mark). Side note: If you go to see it in the hopes that you'll see Christian Bale and his handsome physique (which does not get me up in the morning, mind you), you will be sorely disappointed.

Tomorrow I'm planning on catching up on some homework (I got to one of these days) and some Hulu and Netflix.

Wednesday night I'm going with a few friends to see The Adjustment Bureau. I don't care what anyone says about it, I'm going solely to see Matt Damon (another secret crush of mine).

Thursday and Friday are still tentative, but I'm sure it'll be something cool and exciting.

Saturday I'll have book club and that is always fun, since I hear we are having tons of various cupcakes. :)

So, even though it's been 6 years since I've had a real full-fledged spring break, this year will just have to be the evening edition.
