Dead Like Me

I finished watching Dead Like Me last week. That was a really funny series. The movie was pretty terrible though. Anyway, one of my favorite parts of the series was when Happy Times had the emergency drill and someone had made grilled cheese with the AED defibrillator. I can't imagine that they would have made a particularly tasty sandwich but it was still funny seeing the melted cheese stuck between the paddles. I'm so sad that the series is over (yeah, I know, it's been like five years and I should get over it.) So, I need a new series to watch on DVD. Any suggestions?

My legs are tired and my eyes are broken

My mother and I walked in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life in Pottstown this weekend. It was a pretty successful event, though now I am absolutely exhausted. My legs are still sore! On a sadder note, my glasses broke on Friday. Last week, I was diagnosed with 'contact lens overwear.' (Yeah, I wore them too much.) The only glasses I had were an already broken pair from about five years ago. So my husband fixed them up for me to make them mostly wearable. Well, on Friday, the right arm snapped off. My new glasses should be arriving tomorrow. Until then, though, I can't really see well enough to finish watching Mop Girl. Forgive my slowness. I'll finish it as soon as I can! I swear!

Favorite Friday

This weekend I will be walking in the American Cancer Society Relay for Life in Pottstown, PA. Today's Favorite Friday is a video I uploaded about last year's event. If you pay close attention, right around the 0:42 mark, you can see me. I'm wearing a white chef's hat, a black apron and sunglasses. (I'm also kinda golf-clapping but let's overlook that, shall we?)

Update

Sadly, I still don't have a lot to talk about. I've been watching Mop Girl with Keiko Kitagawa. Hopefully I'll have that finished by next week. I also have the Relay for Life this weekend. Donate here, if you want to ^_^ I've been debating taking some sort of lessons again. I took tap last year and I've looked into voice or piano lessons. Unfortunately, I don't think I can afford any of them this season. I think I need to marry a rich man so I can take tons of classes and do nothing but dance and sing all day!

Memorial Day

I know it's really late but I hope everyone in the US had a good Memorial Day. For those outside the US that don't know what Memorial Day is, it's a day that we remember our fallen soldiers. It's also considered the 'beginning of summer.' Definitely one of the better federal holidays. So thank you to all of our armed forces. You are not forgotten.

JDorama review: Zettai Kareshi Special

zettaikareshi Title: Zettai Kareshi Also Known As: Absolute Boyfriend Broadcast date: 3/24/09 Genre: Romantic comedy Cast: Hayami Mokomichi, Mizushima Hiro, Aibu Saki Plot: Shortly after Riiko (Aibu) and Soshi (Mizushima) get called back from Paris to open a new store, Riiko finds that Night has been resurrected by a new Kronos Heaven employee. Will Night destroy the couple's engagement? What is good: It's nice seeing these characters come to life again. What is bad: The story was completely unnecessary. Letter rating: B- Overall: When the series ended, I felt like I needed more closure to the story. This isn't what the audience needed. While it felt like Night's character had more to him, he was used throughout the entire special. It was wonderful seeing the characters on screen and interacting again. However, it's akin to taking that last extra bite of cake. Yeah, it was tasty but now you feel nauseous.

Family Vacation

Around this time of year, I start looking at possible places to go on vacation with the family. We rarely get to travel anywhere. The Pigeon Forge hotels in Tennessee don't look too bad. It looks like there's some stuff that my daughter would be interested in. I'm not so sure about my husband but, well, too bad! No, I'm sure we can find something for him too. It would be nice to get away for awhile.
