What's Happening: the Wii

Oh, how I love the Wii :) Check it out...

What I am attached to:

Mario Kart

What is better than the good-old classic game, just like you played on the Nintendo 64? Plus an upgrade in graphics and imagery. Oh, and don't forget that you connect with others all across the world and play live! Or, if you want, the kids down the street! I love it!! It has taken my sleep, but was well worth it.

What I hope to be attached to:

Just Dance

I have heard it's one of the best games yet...I can't wait to find out for myself :)

Happy gaming, folks.

Quote of the Week: Love

So I saw the movie "Paper Heart," expecting something great due to the trailers I have seen over and over while at work, as well as my passion for Michael Cera (the sweetheart from "Juno"), BUT, it was--in my opinion--a rather lousy film. The idea was good...the quest for defining love...and I did enjoy watching all the real-life scenarios...I was just bugged. My quote(s), nonetheless, are from it:

"We’re not a very patient society so if something goes wrong, and there’s no quick fix, they give up. If you can hang in there, it just gets better."

and

“Love is a chemical reaction in your brain versus the heart. We feel this euphoria…Somehow there is a little bit of magic in it too.”

Hmm...if you ask me, there's nothing like love :)

10 Things

My sister turned on the classic film 10 Things I Hate About You starring Heath Ledger (may his beautiful soul with perfect skin rest in peace) and Julia Stiles. My favorite line?

"I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair.

I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare.

I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind.

I hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme.

I hate it, I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie.

I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry.

I hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call.

But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all."

Kat Stratford (Julia Stiles)

Why is hate a feeling we ever have with love?

Hmm, I guess it probably isn't.

It's probably just my small, high school perspective I have on the feeling.

When I love...it will be love.

What I decided, or was reminded of, from watching the movie:

1. I will live in Seattle. I love the way people say they couldn't live there because it always rains, yet they are the ones used to a miserable down poor, not the amazing sheet of mist that gracefully falls over the state of Washington. I love the rain. I love the green. I love the fishy smell of the harbors (as nasty as that sounds, it's absolutely true.) I love Seattle.
2. I want to play my drums on a rooftop. Not just my roof, although I guess it would do, but one like Stadium High School from the film. Look at it. That would be so ideal...
3. Paintballing would be a fabulous date.
4. I just need to live life. This movie makes me happy :)
5. I'm not creative enough to come up with 10 things, thus making this a coincidental situation. Sorry.

Enjoy.

I have one question:

I am a dork--I know--but...

What is your favorite salsa?

We get a new jar every time we go to the store. Not only that, but a new flavor. I'm talking a jar a day! I eat it like I should be drinking water! It is sooo good! Anyway, if you could just answer that question for me, I would really appreciate it :) Thank you

Favorite Scene

I saw (500) Days of Summer starring the spectacular Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. This movie is so great! It's not an ordinary "love" story, as the narrator says at the beginning. In fact, it makes the audience face the reality of relationships; they're not all meant to be. I definitely recommend it for a cute fix of a good film.

The following scene is my favorite! He's head over heels for this girl, and I am sure we can all relate with the splendid skip he has in his step. That's how I felt today...it's been a GOOD day!! Enjoy:

Quote of the Week

As I briefly mentioned before, Grey's Anatomy is my absolute favorite television show! I live off of it. I crave it during the day, and need my fix of it as soon as I get home. I have become personally attached to all the characters, and, secretly, dream of my life being somewhat like it, with a few more moral standards. My life goes on because of Grey's Anatomy :)

"Communication. It's the first thing we really learn in life. Funny thing is, once we grow up, learn our words and really start talking the harder it becomes to know what to say. Or how to ask for what we really need."

-Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy

Hm...perhaps I will do an ode to Grey's Anatomy? Sounds like a plan...

I Wish

I wish I lived during this era:



How happy :)

Quote of the Week

Once again, from my top show:

"In general, lines are there for a reason. For security, for clarity. If you choose to cross the line, you pretty much do so at your own risk. So why is it that the bigger the line, the greater the temptation to cross it? We cant help ourselves. When we see a line we want to cross it. Maybe it’s the thrill of the unfamiliar, a sort of personal dare. The only problem is once that you’ve crossed, it’s almost impossible to go back. But, if you do manage to make it back across the line, you find safety in numbers."

-Meredith, Grey's Anatomy, Break on Through

Quote of the Week

"Wonders are many, and none is more wonderful than man."

-Sophacles

Quote of the Week

From my absolute favorite television show at the moment, and in the season of giving:

"Everyday we get to give the gift of life. It can be painful, it can be terrifying, but in the end it's worth it. Every time...Maybe the gifts are not as dramatic as what happens in the operating room, maybe the gift is to try and make a simple apology, maybe it's to understand another person's point of view, maybe it's to hold a secret for a friend. The joy supposedly is in the giving, so when the joy is gone, when the giving starts to feel more like a burden, that's when you stop. But if you're like most people I know, you give till it hurts, and then you give some more."

-Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy, Season 5
