Weeds Season 4 behind the scenes

I have been wondering if there have been any previews for season 4 of Weeds. So...I went on You tube to look and I found a preview and behind the scenes video. Take a look

Real World: Hollywood

Real World Season 20 has been on for about a month and a half now and it is very, and I mean very entertaining. This season alone has been so good the producers decided to make it an hour long show instead of 30 minutes like all the other seasons. There is real drama, sadness, happiness, and since it is in LA California there is also a lot of scandalousness. It comes on, on Mondays at 9pm on MTV. You can catch up to this Mondays episode at MTV.com. So far a person has gone to rehab, there has been an outrageous fight, and one guy got sent home. Watch one episode and let me know what you think.

Duty Free TV

On my three week break in Rockwall, my family and I accidentally discovered the most amazing thing. One Sunday morning we sat down to watch a tivoed Saturday Night Live from the night before, and for some reason the channel was on G4. If you aren't familiar with G4 (which we weren't), it used to be the "technology" channel and is kinda just like a channel for nerds. And it just so happened that we turned on the TV to a Ninja Warrior marathon. Ninja Warrior (or Sasuke, its Japanese title) is like an obstacle course competetion. Think MXC but sincere. It. Is. Amazing.



"your teacher failed you!"

Ninja Warrior runs on G4 as part of their "Duty Free TV" programming. Another duty free show on G4 is "Unbeatable Banzuke." Just when you thought it couldn't get any better than NW......IT DOES!



You don't even have to watch the actual show to appreciate its awesomeness. Just look at the explanation of the event:



If this is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

I have gone just about as far as I can go with this body

OMG ya'll, the trailer for Burn After Reading is amazing!!!!! Coen brothers+Brad Pitt and Malkovich=I'm pretty sure this is Heaven!

Remember Chuck E. Cheese?

I do. But I don't quite remember it like this.

WHAT IS WITH HIS SPELLING!?!?!?!?

Please do not let me ever become like this.

Bandarazzi vs. Paparazzi?

The vid "Everything" by A Cursive Memory. It's pretty amusing.

The band followed the paparazzi and snagged some time with trash celebs - minus The Office's Jenna Fischer, Elijah Wood, and Alfonso Ribeiro (Carlton from the Fresh Prince.)

And feel free to sing along: "you're my E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G."

Warning: Catchy, pop-emo band chorus alert!

Democratic Race for the Presidency

The Democratic race, unlike the Republican, has gone on for a very long while. While Barack Obama is said to have clinched the amount of delegates needed to have the official title of Democratic nominee, Hillary R. Clinton has not conceded.
It should be interesting to see if Clinton concedes in the next week. There are so many factors when there is a close race like this one. Not only are there delegates from the primary/caucus elections but there are also "Super Delegates" that need to be taken into account.
Like points, Super Delegates are worth a lot more than earned delegates; the result of primary/caucuses. Some of the "Super Delegates" have not even officially decided who they are committed to yet. I guess we will have to just wait it out and see what happens.

Here is an article from a news sight (Breitbart.com) about the AP tally(also known as Associated Press; this is one of the most reliable sources for political news and political election results).


AP tally: Obama effectively clinches nomination
Jun 3 01:40 PM US/Eastern

WASHINGTON (AP) - Barack Obama effectively clinched the Democratic presidential nomination Tuesday, based on an Associated Press tally of Convention Delegates becoming the first black candidate ever to lead his party into a fall campaign for the White House.

Campaigning on an insistent call for change, Obama outlasted former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton in a historic race that sparked record turnout in primary after primary, yet exposed deep racial divisions within the party.

The AP tally was based on public commitments from delegates as well as more than a dozen private commitments. It also included a minimum number of delegates Obama was guaranteed even if he lost the final two primaries in South Dakota and Montana later in the day.

The 46-year-old first-term senator will face Sen. John McCain if Arizona in the fall campaign to become the 44th president.

Clinton was ready to concede that her rival had amassed the delegates needed to triumph, according to officials in her campaign. These officials said the New York senator did not intend to suspend or end her candidacy in a speech Tuesday night in New York. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they had not been authorized to divulge her plans.

Obama's triumph was fashioned on prodigious fundraising, meticulous organizing and his theme of change aimed at an electorate opposed to the Iraq war and worried about the economy—all harnessed to his own innate gifts as a campaigner.

Clinton campaigned for months as the candidate of experience, a former first lady and second-term senator ready, she said, to take over on Day One.

But after a year on the trail, Obama won the kickoff Iowa Caucuses on Jan. 3, and the freshman senator became something of an overnight political phenomenon.

"We came together as Democrats, as Republicans and independents, to stand up and say we are one nation, we are one people and our time for change has come," he said that night in Des Moines.

A video produced by Will I. Am and built around Obama's "Yes, we can" rallying cry quickly went viral. It drew its one millionth hit within a few days of being posted.

As the strongest female presidential candidate in history, Clinton drew large, enthusiastic audiences. Yet Obama's were bigger still. One audience, in Dallas, famously cheered when he blew his nose on stage; a crowd of 75,000 turned out in Portland, Ore., the weekend before the state's May 20 primary.

summer '08 fashion.

summer is here.
the latest fashion styles include...
bright colors. stripes. prints. (of course there are way more than that...)
so you can have it your way this summer...pick your bright blues, pinks, yellows, your sailor stripes, or your floral prints. Actually pick all of them and mix and match!
There is no real word for what fashion is happening as we speak...but people tend to call it revival of the 80's, mixed with a bit of a hippie look--mixed with sometimes a modern touch.
see? confusing! no one even knows for sure.
anyway, suggested "must-haves" are as follows-
1. cute and/or flirty summer dress...

2. chic sandals and/or wedges!
wedges:

sandals:

3. the right shades, so you can look fierce!
shades:



4. the right bathing suit-(and oh how it is a pain to shop for bathing suits!
oh, and if you are stuck on what color to get...just go with a solid color that flatters your skin tone.)
5. the shorts/mini skirt.
shorts:

skirts:
until next time--
yours truly,
s.

Enchanted sequel?


According to an interview with MTV, Amy Adams sort of "confirms" it...

"
MTV: There are things in the real world that Delysia knows that Giselle, in "Enchanted," is only beginning to understand. What do you think she'd have to learn in the proposed sequel for "Enchanted"? She probably doesn't even know you have to have sex to have babies — she probably thinks they just magically appear.

Adams: I hope we don't explore that! That's not quite right for that audience. I don't know where they're planning to go with the sequel. The first film was discovering who she is, so we've seen that. I'd be curious to see what's next."


... Same here. I mean I love Enchanted, and I've seen it twice over the past 72 hours (I always rock the coolness scale), but is there really any plot left to "discover?" Yeah, I'd squeal if it actually did work out, but really... REALLY?

The Ting Tings.

Yep.
That's what their called. haha, I know, funny name...but they're really good! I keep hearing this song while I'm shopping for some reason. Makes me wanna dance. Actually...I think I did dance. :]





These are also good songs by The Ting Tings:

"That's Not my Name"

"Shut up and Let me Go"

With Love,
