Setting deadlines and to-do lists. Getting things done. One thing on the list is to finally get my butt going on organizing my tumblr blog. I've got to get in gear soon because FTP publishing is being phased out on May 1 over here at Blogger! That leaves me only a few weeks!! Anyway, comments are [finally] working over there on my tumblrnow.

I think the best part of my day today is going to be the Glee premiere tonight.

This photo is from my work Christmas party which was on Monday night, one of the many parties that I went to in the past week! Thankfully the craziness is over - there were a few too many late nights and beverages consumed! Haha.

Now I can focus on Christmas (and finishing my shopping!)!! In a week I'll be HOME! I am so, so excited to see my family and friends again, and get away from the ridiculously cold Montreal temperatures! I'll be home for over a week, so there will be lots of time to visit, unlike when I was home for Thanksgiving and had only 2 days to see as many people as possible!! There will actually be some relaxing this time!

So much has happened in the past week that I don't even know what to write about. OH! Highlight of the day today: watching Grey's Anatomy at lunch in Lynds' office and CRYING because it was so intense and emotional. Yes, yes, I cried at work watching TV. And then, of course as I'm dabbing my eyes with a tissue, one of the guys came in and saw me crying and made fun of me for the rest of the day! Hahaha. Ah man, I'm so ridiculous.

Okay, shower + bed.

Gossip Girl has gone way downhill. I mean, wtf, Hilary Duff is guest starring? Ridiculous. The only thing that keeps me watching it is the relationship between Chuck and Blair. I've always loved their chemistry and banter together. Love Blair's bitchiness and amazing outfits, but come on, it's Chuck's fucking awesome pocket squares and suspenders and coordinated outfits that really take the prize. Pocket squares are sexy. And I was finding Chuck himself rather sexy in that last episode I watched... I can't believe I just admitted to that.

I don't think I've ever mentioned before how much I love this blog: What Chuck Wore. Of course if you've never seen Gossip Girl, all will be totally lost on you. Not that I can blame you for not appreciating that golden gem of a TV show in all of its terrible rich, juvenile, snobby glory. I wonder when that show premieres again anyway?

Have I also mentioned how hot it's been here lately? Okay, only every day on my Twitter status. It's gotten up to 40 degrees for the past 5 days and I have been melting. Yes, there's me in a puddle on the floor. Not that I'm complaining! I enjoy heat, but maybe a few or 10 degrees less would be good, thanks Mother Nature.

So it looks like I might be sticking around the Frenchlands for a little longer. I've been hired to shoot a small wedding at the end of September, and another wedding might be in the works for mid-September as well. I figure they will both be great experiences and worth sticking around for. This means that right now my days are filled with frantic apartment and job hunting, as my sublet runs out at the end of August and I will need a bit of extra cashola to throw around for another month. Wish me luck. I hope to have things more or less sorted by this weekend.

I think I've finally figured out the perfect location for my fan. It's right at the open door to my balcony and is blowing the cool night breeze onto my back. Ahhhh, relief.

I love this show. I think it might rank up there in my favourites. Can't wait for season 3.

Snippets

Don't you hate it when TV shows deceive you into thinking the next episode is going to be juicy and then they all of a sudden run the "Behind the Scenes Special" that no one cares about. Okay, I'm talking about the Bachelor, and I was all set for some drama (I even left my parents' house kinda early to get home) but instead I have something else. AND, Gossip Girl is a re-run AGAIN and will be until the middle of March! Come on now, the two shows I actually watch and they're both sucking. This Monday night is poop.

I took photos in RAW mode for the first time this weekend, I can't figure out how to get them onto my computer now to edit. I have to download a plugin, but apparently I'm retarded...? And it doesn't help that Photoshop only exists on my laptop which isn't where I want to edit them! Oh the tragedy.

I think I'm going to be modeling for my cousin again this weekend.

I'm so excited that Marja had her little baby last week! (And it was a girl!!!)

I think that the Oscars are boring and how anyone could sit there and watch them for 3 hours is beyond me.

Life is a little uncertain at the moment, but that's what I want right now. I've learned a lot about myself recently, most importantly I'm trying to stop overanalyzing everything.

And did I mention how upset I am with the Bachelor and GG??

I am such a freakin' sap! I just finished watching the new Gossip Girl episode and at the end when Chuck comes out of the elevator holding some beautiful flowers for Blair and tells her he's so sorry and he's fucked up and needs her... I just started bawling. How sweet and adorable is Chuck, come on now.

I shed tears way too easily. I can be watching a movie, or a commercial and all of a sudden I'm crying, no matter if something is sad or something is cute or touching... I just become a faucet!

This makes me concerned for when I have important touching milestones in my life and how I will deal with them. I can just see myself up there on the altar on my wedding day and I'm just bawling and my tears are running my mascara and my nose is drooling and people are snapping photos and I'm just a blubbering fool. Or seeing my baby for the first time? Hello tears. And so many other moments that are only remotely touching or remotely sad... I need to know some tear prevention strategies!!

My two favourite things about tonight:

1) my new vampire book
2) the TV show "Workout"

Okay, Mandy at work is lending me the vampire series written by Stephenie Meyer, and I devoured the first book last weekend (well, it's also an easy read with giant printing, and at a level meant for teenagers), and I've just started the second book yesterday. All I have to say: who will find me a hot vampire boyfriend?! Preferably with the name Edward? Anyone?? Haha, anyway, these books make me really happy in a giddy sort of way. It's fabulous.

The second thing, this TV show called "Workout" plays every Wednesday night and it's a reality show about a gay trainer in LA who owns her own trendy fitness centre and all the trainers who work there are gay (pretty much) and the owner is hot and her girlfriend is smokin hot, and hello, can I get in on the hot lesbian fun? Haha, slightly more kidding about that one. BUT. It's a great show.

Hot vampires and hot lesbians! Can't have a much better Wednesday night than that, can you?! Hehehehe... ;)

Sex!

Haha, okay, how much do I love this show!? It is so great. I went to Laurel's after work today and she made me dinner and then we started from the beginning of season 1 and watched 5 episodes of Sex and the City. That show makes me so happy. Or maybe it's the half a bottle of wine I'm feeling right now!! I think another Sex and the City party is in order - I remember I had one 3-4 years ago but it's time for another! (I should dig up a photo of that party... of course I was Charlotte, hehe, love her.)
