My fav. horror flicks atm;

1- the descent
2- the cube
3- signs
4- dark water
5- house on haunted hill

Speaking of film - I saw an awesome film yesterday, Into the Wild with Emile Hirsch. What a beautiful movie, and what an amazing story, so inspiring! I also wanna live on a magic bus in the middle of nowhere. Wow, that movie will probably stay with me for a while.

I used to be so into halloween and holiday stuff, but this is the first year I don't even care. No pumpkin pies this year, and probably no horror flicks either.

About TV: Unfortunately I can't watch as much TV as I use to because of my new cheaper and slower internet connection (makes it hard to download and watch stuff online). I suppose I should take the opportunity and READ some more instead. I love reading but I haven't done it for some time now because Ive been under so much angst/stress. Atm I'm (not) reading Buddenbrooks by Thomas Mann, and I have many books in my shelf just waiting to be read. Anyways, back to TV.

- The new season of SYTYCD seems very promising and fun. I'm thinking about starting a facebook group called: A Mia Michaels routine saved my live. I love dance. Although, in my opinion, Jeanette or Kayla should have won last season.

- I love this season of TAR. I'm so rooting for the boys Sam and Dan. They are so cute and fun, and a bit weird. I love their alliance with Maria Ho and Tiffany Michelle because they are my second favorite team, mainly because I'm a poker obsessive and I like to see an all girl team do well on the race. They made a mistake by starting out lying, but they seem nice enough. I do however doubt they need the money. I also like Brian and Ericka and I would have loved to see more of Zev and Justin, they are awesome. This is the best season since season 12. My favorite seasons are 9, 10 and 12. And two legs from now they'll be in Stockholm, yay. 

- WSOP and WSOPE. Hm, I don't know what to write without sounding like a total geek. Wich I am. But. I can't believe how close Daniel Negreanu was to winning the wsope! like omg. How could he come 2nd? against Barry Schulman of all people? And I like Phil Ivey to win the main event, if he does it I'll be super impressed. It would have been even more fun if Antonio Esfandiari was at the final table also, maybe next year?

- Curb your enthusiasm is so hilarious, I love it. Last episode took the price. I mean, omg.

Right now I'm watching Sexie with Eddie Izzard. I usually watch Eddie Izzard when I'm down and need a good laugh. It never fails. Either that show or Dressed to kill or Circle. Or old episodes of WL uk or HIGNFY with Eddie. I wish I had tickets to Stripped. But I don't *sigh*, poor me.

A list of my favorite stand up comedians besides Eddie atm (I change favorites all the time):
2- Craig Ferguson
3- Paul Merton
4- Michael Ian Black
5- Dana Carvey
6- Greg Proops

I hate that my favorite improv All-stars show has been removed from YT. WHY? *cries* I truly must be obsessed if that bothers me as much as it does. I'd literary kill to see a Whose Live, Improv All-stars or Colin & Brad show live. I'm not joking.

- There's nothing better than two white guys singing jazz
- Nothing that I know of

My addictive personality made me eat a whole box of ice-creams two days ago. That made me sad. And now I'm trying not to eat so much candy and stuff this weekend. Good luck to me on that.

Melody Gardot - Baby, I'm a fool (click for vid)

I love all her music, and her life story is very inspiring.
Beautiful. ♥
 
OMG, I just saw that this season of TAR will have a leg in Stockholm, Sweden!
I never thought that would happen again. *Squees*

I've finally done it! I've seen The Half-blood Prince! Almost a week ago now.
And I loved it. I wanna see the next movie right away.
It was so sad, and angsty, and dark. Poor Albus. I really felt for him. And for Draco too. Tom Felton was really outstanding. And young Voldemort (the student) was awesome as creepy psychopath. I also liked Luna and Ginny. But I could have done without all the "love stories", it just didn't fit in for me, since the movie was so dark. But I liked it almost as much as OOTP, which is my favorite HP-movie.

I've also finally seen El Orfanato (the Orphanage), which is a very good scary movie in spanish.
Me gusta mucho, muy bien. And on a different subject, I hate that Jeanette got  eliminated from SYTYCD. She was my favorite to win it, damn it. *is angry*

Here is a random list of my favorite summer desserts.

1. Passion fruit Cheese Cake
2. French Vanilla Coffee
3. Carrot Cake
4. Pannacotta
5. Frozen Yogurt

Hasta Luego! Smell Ya Later.

I just saw yesterdays episode of AI. And this week the only performance I liked was Kris. I don't like him at all, but I adore that song (from the movie Once), and he did it really well.

Here is my qualified guess on how the competition will end (I guessed it weeks ago, and I've been right so far):
1. Adam
2. Danny
3. Kris
4. Anoop
5. Allison
6. Matt
7. Lil

My essay is coming along (I should be done in about a week or so), and the rest of my life, I'm not so sure. What will I do this summer and next fall? probably just look for jobs, and take whatever I can get.

It's summer outside! omg.
And has anyone heard the new Pet Shop Boys album? It's completely awesome sauce and danceworthy. ♥

Who does everyone like in American Idol? I like Adam and Matt. And Danny who I disliked at first is growing on me. I don't like Kris, Lil or Scott. But my biggest favorite was Norman! he was awesome! ♥

Here's a list of my favorite contestants of all time
- Taylor Hicks
- Norman Gentle
- Carrie Underwood
- Melinda Dolittle
- Clay Aiken
- Brook White
- Elliot Yamin
- I think that's it 


Bon week-end á vous!

I've been obsessed with art and books lately. I have to get some art for my walls. I'm thinking of a poster by Caravaggio or Degas. But they are quite expensive. I also have to read some books. These are on my to-read-list:

• Emily Dickinson - Selected Poems
• Sasa Stanisic - How the Soldiers Repairs the Gramophone
• Joan Didion - The Year of Magical Thinking
• Anna Gavalda - Hunting and Gathering
• Friedrich Nietzsche - The Gay Science
• Ian Buruma - Murder in Amsterdam

I wish I had some more spare time... atm I just have to focus on my master's degree. *big sigh*

I just have to rec this awesome fic called: 
Being an historical record of events surrounding the unfortunate truth-or-dare game of february the twenty-second, and consequences thereof. by: sodomquake.
It's Sirius/Remus which I don't usually read, but it's very good and very cute *nods* ♥

Here is the adress:  www.moonpants.org/txt/beinganhistoricalrecord.html

Anyway the real reason I am posting is because I want to give some of my Oscars predictions. Yay!
