You and I

When I find a song I love, I instantly become obsessed. Ingrid Michaelson - You and I. This is my current favorite. Such a good song. You have to listen to the whole thing... the end is the best part. I couldn't find it on YouTube to just post it right onto my profile so you'll just have to click the link to her Myspace profile.

Kristina Chen

For those of you who don't know who Kristina Chen is... you've truly been missing out. She has the most amazing internet blogs. About life, about dating, but mainly about music. She sings her heart out. Pretty dang entertaining.

Here are a few of her videos...

Ross plays the bagpipe

One of the top ten funniest moments from FRIENDS. Oh how I miss this show.

Goodbye blow dryer

So for the past couple weeks, my phone has had a really hard time adjusting to the cold weather. It has slowly been dying. Yesterday it got out of hand. The only way I was able to use my phone is if I had it up to the heater in my car, rub it on my pants to heat it up by friction, or to blow dry it. Ridiculous.

The bottom half of my phone is a touch screen that you have to touch to be able to access your contacts, to text, and to do anything else besides pushing the buttons to call someone. Which is useless because who knows phone numbers anymore. They were all saved in my phone. It drove me crazy all day at work... Robyn's last day of work might I add. You will be missed. :( So when I got done working I headed straight to Verizon. To my surprise they gave me a brand new phone and was out the door in less than 10 minutes. If only I had gone sooner!

So I'm very happy with my brand new phone. No scratches, works in the cold, doesn't have a delay after I push my buttons like my last phone did. Gotta love a fresh cell phone! The only down side was that for some reason, they weren't able to transfer my phone numbers to the new phone. It wasn't working. So I have no phone numbers! Text me your number! 703-4146.

Sushi? Me?

So last Saturday I did something I never thought I would. I tried SUSHI. I was scared to death because I hate fish. I hate raw meat. I was scared I would throw up in the middle of the restaurant in front of all of the sushi regulars.

I tried 2 different kinds. I can't remember what they were or what was in them. That was kept secret so I didn't back out of it. You're supposed to eat the entire thing at once, but I had to do a small bite just to test it out. It didn't taste TOO bad. So I put the rest of the hunk of the rice, raw meat, and whatever else into my mouth. Not the best idea. It took me a while to get it down. I chewed and chewed trying to keep it in my mouth. When it comes to food, if it has a weird or different texture that what I'm familiar with, it's a challenge. I finally got it down. Again, it wasn't BAD. Just new and something I definitely wasn't used to.

The next one had raw tuna in it? Maybe avocado too? It all happened so fast. I don't remember! It was better than the first one. This one I ate in small bites. Will I eat it again? Maybe. I was told that the next time I have it I should have the cooked chicken sushi kind they have at Happy Sumo. I like the sound of that better.

I was proud of myself. I'm glad I was pushed to try it!

You don't know me

Awesome. Love the song.

New card!

Sunset card it is. Thanks for helping me decide!

Help me choose!

I got bored and decided to make my own personalized debit card. I've uploaded my own pictures onto Zion's website but I can't choose which one I like the best. I like all 3. Take a vote and whatever one is the favorite, I'll make it!


Option #1 - Sunset at Sunset Beach












Option #2 - Laughing on Sunset Beach... about something. Or nothing.












Option #3 - Hale'iwa











Whatever card has the most votes by Sunday, 9/14 at 11:59 P.M. will be my new debit card!



This is the card that I ALMOST had narrowed down to the top 3. Sorry Karli!

Fall TV megapost!

The only reason I look forward to Fall, besides cold weather, rain, and school, is plopping down in front of the TV and enjoying some good entertainment. Most people say they hate watching TV, when it's really not true. I on the other hand, hate it. Just kidding. So many TV shows are so action packed and well done it's just like going to the movies. Only you can lay around in your PJ's while you watch on the comfort of your own couch. The new Fall shows have already started Premiering. I thought I would pass on some of my favorite shows and let you know what you're missing out on. And also, let you know what shows I'm most looking forward to!

What's on NOW!

"America’s Toughest Jobs" is a new extreme competition series that will test 13 men and women who venture out of their safe and comfortable careers and are injected into some of the most challenging, dangerous and demanding jobs on earth.

From logging high in the Washington forest to oil drilling on the Texas range, and driving icy roads to extreme fishing – each job requires guts and stamina, and the competitors will have to live up to the same standards as the pros. At the end of each episode, their new boss and co-workers will determine success or failure, and those who don't make the grade will be sent home. Upping the ante, the annual salary of each job will be thrown into the pot until the finale – where one rookie will take home the well-earned cash.

This show is awesome. I love it.

The first job was crab fishing
Second job was trucking
Third job was gold digging. (I wanna do it)
Next week is logging!

Prison Break is back. I have to admit, I
was a bit disappointed with last season.
It lacked what seasons 1 and 2 had. It
was a bit slow, and nothing seemed to
happen all season. I hope this season is
better than the last!

Starting soon!

This is one of my favorite shows. If you've never watched it before, you're definitely missing out. It'll bring a tear to your eye. It's sad to see everyone's life story and hear why they are overweight. By the season finale, it's just incredible to see how they look now and how much weight they have lost. It's crazy! I think this show is a must see. Check out the preview below!

After a hit-and-run accident left Samantha Newly (Christina Applegate) in an eight-day coma, she awoke with retrograde amnesia, which allowed her to fully function in the world but leaves her with no personal memories of her past. As she began her quest to rediscover herself, she learned that she had been a horrible person. Vain, selfish and potentially surrounded by far more enemies than friends, she made a conscious decision to improve herself moving forward with the help of her eclectic friends and family.

Emmy nominations:
*Outstanding Lead Actress In A Comedy Series - Christina Applegate
*Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series - Jean Smart

Both VERY deserving. If you've seen the show, you know they are pure genius!

I can't WAIT for this show! I have been waiting so long for Molly Shannon to come star in her own sitcom and now it's here! So excited to see how this one turns out! It looks hilarious.

"Kath & Kim," a series adapted from Australia's hit comedy of the same title, is a look into the minutiae of middle-class suburbia that digs deep into the daily lives of mother and daughter, Kath and Kim. Kath Day (Shannon) is the mom, a foxy, 40-something divorcee who finally has time for herself and her valiant search for love. Kim Day (Blair) is the daughter, a self-absorbed princess recently separated from her husband who finds consolation in stuffing her face. When Kim decides to move back home, Kath reluctantly agrees - but to Kim's chagrin, Kath is not about to cater to her every whim as she has in the past.

Last season of LOST was nothing short
of amazing. It's the best show on TV. I'm
eagerly awaiting the return of LOST next
year. No more writer strikes please!
___________________________________________________________________

The new season is going to be interesting. Changes are in store. All new audition cities, including Salt Lake! I have been wanting American Idol to come to Salt Lake for auditions because I know there will be some great talent! Utah is definitely underestimated. Of course after David Archuleta, they HAD to come to Salt Lake. The new season is also welcoming a 4th judge. Kara DioGuardi. I don't know much about her... but I've heard she's the female version of Simon. Speaks the truth. That should be good!

Remember Nick Zitzmann? He was from Salt Lake. Hopefully we find more great talent like him!

___________________________________________________________________

Looks AMAZING. I'm excited for this to finally return! It wasn't on last year due to the writer strike, so it has been since May of 2007 since it ended.





*WARNING* Spoiler Alert. If you haven't seen previous season, do not watch.

December '08 or January '09
