Barbie

Yet another unrelated post....

Anyone else remember that awesome game on Barbie.com they used to have back in the early 2000's? and then it went away in jeez 2004? maybe 2005?

You could choose the barbie, her outfit, her hair, maybe even her make-up. And then at the end it gave you the dolls little life-story? I religiously played it back then and even after it went off i would still check a few times a year for two years just to see if they brought it back but sadly they never did... i bet if they did their website views would go up and maybe even sales! it was my favorite internet game!

Other favorite games back then were elf bowling (i know, so old. but it was so funny!), and jeopardy, random floppy disc games that i wish i could remember the names of! and many nintendo games: anticipation, duck hunt, pokemon snap (i think that was name, you were hired as a photographer and had to get awesome shots of pokemon), and of course all the mario games, and diddy kong racing. and to this day i still play on my 3ds mariokart games and mario64 and well i did have marioparty and diddy kong racing ds game (but sadly there were no players for multiplayer using wi-fi, sad because it had the BEST map, the ice pyramid!)

well thats all,

Much Love,

Glee #The Quarterback

I think we can all agree last night's tribute episode was done beautifully and was absolutely heartbreaking. I for one could not stop crying. For me, it still hasn't seemed real like he's just gonna wake up and go "psych" but with this and the coronors' final autopsy really made it real and still not all the way there yet but a good step. I never felt a connection to him like thousands of people have so I don't know why I processed it in my head that way.

Burt, Carol, and Kurt's scene was one in particular that made the crying a little worse and well, be even more grateful I have my son (2 years old), and it was just a heartwrenching scene.

I was SO glad to see Coach Beiste again, I widh she was on the show every week! She is one of my favorite characters and has such a great heart, but her scenes with puck and Mr. Schue were other parts I cried more

But the 2 that were a little worse for me was especially Sue letting out her emotions to Santana (glad Glee let Jane mourn in the episode too, rather than having Sue all stony and cold). and Schue crying at the end.

I wish Rachel was in more scenes, but her scenes were beautiful, as well as her song.

My favorite songs were No Surrender sung by Puck tied with Fire and Rain by Sam & Artie, and then Santana's If I Die Young (particularly because of how she ran off and the conversation she had with Kurt).

Can I just say as soon as Puck said he didn't have the jacket I suspected Schue.

Finn/Cory will never be forgotten and my heart still goes out to his family and friends, and the Glee family.

Bravo to Glee and Fox for such a great job!

Witches Of East End 1x02 Promo 'Millicent Fenwick, R.I.P.' - This Season...

Witches of East End

Witches of East End is AMAZING, and yes, I know they have only aired the pilot so far but am eagerly counting down to the next episode on Sunday! :D I have actually tuned in to it on cable 3 times now: first premier on sunday, and them replaying it right after, and last night. It is also downloaded to my laptop! That's how awesome it is. I have never re-watched a pilot (save for re-watching series from the beginning on dvd or netflix like Gossip Girl, Vampire Diaries, etc....) and I  have never felt this passion for one or re-watched an episode so much is such a short time frame. Usually I can't stand it, I am constantly on my bf's butt about having the same show on repeat for months on end, sometimes switches it to something else we have seen a million times but even that is on constant repeat and I don't know how he does it. This show has held my complete attention the entire time for each time I have watched and well, if you saw the eye candy you would understand why even more ;)

The cast is made up of Channing Tatum's wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum (Freya), Julia Ormond (an actress I have loved for as long as I can remember, especially for playing Sabrina... in the movie Sabrina. Still held very dear to my heart and frequently watched) She plays the mother. Rachel Boston plays Freya's sister Ingrid, Rachel had a pretty hefty resume: she has starred in 500 days of summer, 7th heaven, ghosts of girlfriends past, the ex list, scoundrels, the cleaners and much more. Aunt Wendy is played my Madchen Amick who has been in a lot too! She played Duchess Beaton on Gossip Girl (shocking I know), E.R., Joey, Gilmore Girls, Dawson's Creek, Freddie, Californication, Damages, My own worst enemy, etc....  Ingrid's Friend Barb is played by Kellee Stewart who ahs been in a lot but is most famed for playing Courtney in Hot Tub Time Machine (you know, the wife who cheated on her husband, oh wait psych! Some psycho guy called me when i was really little and now I never would!)

Now EYE CANDY: 

Ok, let's start with Killian on the right because well. I love him. He's hot, he's sexy, He is the new ian somerhalder if you can believe it! His name is Daniel DiTomaso and is new to Hollywood with only a few minor things under his belt. 

On the right we have Dash Gardiner (Killian's older brother) who is played by Eric Winter. Eric has been around for a while, anyone remember him playing Katherine Heigl's bf in The Ugly Truth? Well, he looked better in there.... Still hot! But with Killian in the picture it's like you don't even see him, and well if Killian isn't there, well you are still thinking about him... lol. 

The preview of the next episode is in next post. I am SO READY!

Hope you all tune in! You won't be disappointed! :) 

Much Love,

Once Upon a Time

The new, highly anticipated 3rd season is starting on september 29 (just five days away!) sadly, we have to wait even longer for Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, the new spin-off series. Now, i saw a few episodes last year while we were visiting my man's parents house and liked it but didn't pursue it because I had enough to watch already, and finally i have enough time on my hands and am all caught up from season 1 to now and i ADORE the show!

Now, I used to be obsessed with the spinning straw into gold part of Rumpelstiltskon's classic story as a child, but otherwise I found it creepy and well, it wasn't a favorite. But for Once Upon a Time he is my favorite character, I love all his storylines and I love Baelfire too (Bae, his son).  <3 both of them, both of their persona's are just sexy! So yeah rump is old (only find him hot as mr. gold) and bae is hot too but well, he could lose the belly....

I eagerly await hearing more of Prince Philips tale, as he is plays a character on PLL which I love, and he is crazy handsome and gotta love that accent! *sigh*

Prince Charming, he's really fantastic and romantic but he just doesn't do it for me though! I love Snow+Charming's storyline, I adore it. but I like rump's better. I love their "i will always find you" and how they are around eachother and who they are individually but still. The fascination isn't there: the need to delve in deeper to their story isn't there for me.

Hook: Well, he's a sexy, dashing pirate who has a heart he just sometime's lets his pride or selfish desires interfere. I love how he was in the Bae storylines, and even on his own. He is just perfect! (and also has a great accent) ;)

Geppetto and Pinocchio/August: These two are great, they have both had their faults, and pinocchio paid dearly (though achieved redemption and was rewarded), but still I love them.

The mad hatter is another one I love (which I was surprised at because he plays carter baizen on gossip girl, and HATED him). He has a great storyline and your heart just aches for him, looking forward to hearing more about that.

and of course the other character's are great: Jiminy, Henry, (LOVE THE DWARFS, Especially grumpy/Dreamy. He just rocks and is amazing).

The women are just fabulous on the show! None of them are weak, they are strong independant woman who are warriors; brave, the heroes of their own story. Belle is great in all her persona's but like the fairy-tale version more: her story with mulan, everything with rumple, and well her heart. I love red/ruby she is awesome, as well as snow, emma, granny, the fairies,(not crazy about sleeping beauty which i'm bummed about because that was my fave story as a kid, and it was my fave disney movie. Still hold it dear to my heart though), mulan, and regina.


This new season will introduce Ariel (and presumably Eric), along with Tinkerbelle, and well. idk who else. but I can't wait!  Henry was recently captured by Tamara and Owen and was taken to Neverland so Emma, Snow, Hook, Charming, Rumplestiltskin, and can't remember who else....  are off to Neverland! and Bae washed up in the Enchanted Forest with Prince Philip, Sleeping Beauty, and Mulan and is alive! So there are MANY exciting things in store! :)))
