okay i just made a new layout but then i decided i wasn't going to use it because it's a popup and i don't want ANOTHER pop...that'll be like 3 in a row. so i'll just have to make a different layout someday. it's all good, this one's only been up like a week.

i need the new issue of premiere. my sources say josh and ewan mcgregor are on the cover. that's always good. ohhh i bet it's a black hawk down promotion thing. i'm just a little slow sometimes. i'm way excited for that movie. i just find it rather ironic that 75% of the cast in a movie about US soldiers is like british and australian. but that's alright. they can't help it that they're cooler than all the american actors that tried out for their parts.

i was just watching the people's choice awards...yay for jennifer aniston, she won something...whatever it was. well, i think i'll go watch my tape of friends for the 500th time and then go to bed. ;)

That Premiere magazine photo shoot of Josh Hartnett and Ewan McGregor was actually awesome.

1.13.02 | 3:11pm

ahhh i survived josh night. i was rather amused by SNL...especially the skit where they did the parody of george lucas talking about episode II with nsync dancing around and stuff...yeah. i thought josh did a good job. i'd freak out if I had to do that stuff with all those people staring at me. lol.

OHHH i have good news! after SNL i rewound my tape to watch it again and i went back a little too far...when i pressed play FRIENDS was on! somehow it taped!!! i don't know if my mom turned off my tv after it was over or what but it was there!!! it was like 12:30 and i was like trying not to scream like a teenybopper when i found out i could watch it. it was soooo cute!!!

well, laura has to work friday so we're just gonna go to the dance after she gets off (i think) and then go to black hawk down on saturday. i guess i can wait until saturday. ;)

i'm really frustrated because i downloaded a new mandy moore song called it's gonna be love from the a walk to remember soundtrack but that's the only one of her three new songs i can find...that doesn't make sense, if ONE is on morpheus all three should be since they all are on the same cd...i don't get it. oh well, on tuesday the cd will come out and i won't have any problem finding them.

i also downloaded a couple really cute remixes...the neptunes remix of emotion by destiny's child and an acoustic sort of thing of the coolest britney spears song ever, born to make you happy. i'll never get sick of that song.

wellll i don't have anything to do today. i did my spanish homework, go me. i need to return a couple videos. lindsey says i need to rent the story of us so i might look for that. i bet it's gone, though, because the lit of modern life or lit of conflict or lit of whatever class is watching it for some project or something.

my mom is @ the grocery store. that's always good. i like to have ohs. josh is going to be on letterman tomorrow! for positive! i was excited, his name was in the tv guide. and remy zero is the musical guest. i know a remy zero song...the smallville theme! lol. *somebody saaaaave me* sorry, i like to sing. i need to shut up but i don't have anything else to do! :(

The paragraph about trying to get a Mandy Moore song off Morpheus is basically perfect. I still love Mandy Moore, so I don't even find it as embarrassing as I probably should.

1.12.02 | 12:16am

ahhh you should see the josh cake! it's SOOO funny!

wow, sedated.net looks different. yay.

tomorrow is a happy day. my mom and i might eat lunch at the peking house. good times. i haven't had chinese in a long time.

i'm kinda tired. i had the STRANGEST dream last night! it was so long! and weird...it had legolas and phoebe from friends and the lady from the y...yeah, it was a strange one. but it was kinda fun too.

so i figure i'll go to bed pretty soon since i have nothing else to do. la la la. i need to make a new layout. i like this one but...i dunno. i just like to change stuff a lot. except my last layout cuz i lovvved that one. my dog is barking and growling for no apparent reason. she does that a lot. what can ya do?

It took me a while but I figured out "the lady from the y" is literally the lady who worked at the YMCA.

1.10.02 | 8:35pm

everyone go check out the new hostee @ sedated.net...andrea. her layout rocks, it's orlando bloom! :)

other than that bright note, i have had a nasty day. MY MOM TURNED OFF MY TV WHEN I HAD IT SET TO RECORD FRIENDS WHILE I WAS AT BATON!!!! normally i would be slightly upset, but i freaked out because i have had such a blah week and that was the ONE thing i was really looking forward to watching...and she screwed it all up. PLUS she didn't get my pictures from wal-mart like i asked.

at least tomorrow's friday. thank god. after once and again (which better have eli in it this week) laura and i are going to attempt the cake-baking...then saturday is josh night...yay for josh night! *i'm hungry and there is no food* oh well. just another icky thing about my day.

This was a very Mady Gosselin moment for me. Oh the drama! Oh, and that link definitely doesn't work. Sorry to all you Orlando Bloom fans.

1.10.02 | 3:30pm

blogger's been screwed up so if my posts aren't working...grr.

why is it that i can EASILY find "it's gonna be love" by mandy moore (from a walk to remember) on morpheus but not "only hope" or "someday we'll know"??? it makes zero sense but whatever. on the bright side, those songs are both covers of songs i already know so it's not like they're brand new to me. the soundtrack comes out this tuesday...i think...yeah. i'll probably get it even though i have the majority of the songs already.

i have to go to baton again tonight. :( i don't know why but sandy decided that i need to come up on thursdays for no apparent reason. i think i'm just supposed to be teaching but she has alaina for that and i do wednesdays...so i'm confused. but whatever. i guess i'll just have to tape friends. which is sad, it's a new one tonight and i'll have to wait until tomorrow to see it.

i need to remember to have my camera when laura and i make a cake tomorrow and when we have josh night saturday. i think kelsey is coming to josh night. that'll be good fun.

tomorrow is friday! YAY! and black hawk down comes out in a week! that's rather exciting. i got a bunch of cute new icq skins the other day. which reminds me, i need to put some on a disc for laura. she has no idea how to do anything cool on her computer so i am helping her. ;)

lol i won rock paper scissors so josh night is here on saturday...my mom is going to take one look at the josh cake and think we're crazy. the josh pillows already made her slightly concerned for the mental health of laura and me.

i need some pop. AH! i just downloaded the most adorable remix of all these britney spears, mandy moore & christina aguilera songs. i'm gonna go get some sprite.

Man I was fixated on getting those Mandy Moore songs off Morpheus.

1.8.02 | 1:57pm

wow...it's been like a couple days since i blogged. i gotta get on top of things! alright...well, first i would like to say thank you to mrs. wildt for letting those of us with 6th & 7th hour off leave spanish class early today. that was nice.

i went to the video store and rented halloween: h20 for josh night. laura hasn't seen it so we figured we'd watch it before saturday night live. ;) oh, i posted a review of a beautiful mind in movie reviews...yeah.

i slept a lot yesterday, that's why i didn't blog. there better be some decent stuff on tv tonight. last night i was stuck watching like 200 episodes of cribs. i don't even really like that show. they don't have a lot of good people on there.

blah to school...still 3 more days this week. oh lovely. sedated isn't working correctly at the moment. what? okay, something weird is going on with my browser. okay maybe not. there just happens to be something wrong with all the websites i'm trying to go to. that's dumb.

oh, i found the greatest smallville site...kryptonsite.com. there's all sorts of junk there and they have all the plots for upcoming episodes and whatnot. it's a good time. ;)

I expected Kryptonsite to still be around and it is - and now reporting on Supergirl!

1.6.02 | 7:47am

la la la everybody say a big "yay" to amy for getting into AU! let's hope her ballerina-ish roommate is the coolest!

I'm actually still in touch with Amy, who was my pen pal throughout high school and college. I believe we met on an NSYNC fan email list, which I'm sure seemed super hip at the time.

1.6.02 | 7:36am

yaaay! my beloved josh message board tells me that he will be hosting saturday night live on january 12. you know how CUTE that will be? it's always fun when people you totally go on there and host and do funny things you would never expect...um. yeah. so everyone's gonna watch, right?

wow. okay i woke up @ 4 this morning. haven't actually gone back to bed. i'm on the tired side. so today i'm going to a beautiful mind with emily and i have to work on my spanish speech. gotta have it memorized...but first i need to make my poster. blah to that. i hate speeches. i have to review the lord of the flies too cuz we have a plot quiz tomorrow. the weekend went so FAST, i hate that. i'm deathly sick of school and it just keeps going and going and going. blaaaaaaah.

yesterday i went to des moines con mi madre. got all sorts of fun stuff. some clothes here and there, some fun hair stuff and whatnot...we went to a theater we've never been to to see kate & leopold. it was a fun old theater. we're trying to go to all the theaters so we can decide which one will be the best to see star wars at. sad, i know. after that we managed to keep ourselves busy for another few hours...i dunno what we were doing, but we ended up with a dvd player. which makes me happy because i've been pushing for one for...a long time. it's just not the same to watch them on the computer. ;) *yawn* i hope i can get everything done today without falling asleep!

Whoo boy! Landmark DVD player purchasing day! Now what would I do with all my cheap movies from Hollywood Video and Hastings?

1.6.02 | 7:18am

i just posted a movie review for kate & leopold and cd reviews for no doubt, the calling, and the moulin rouge soundtrack...

(Un)fortunately said reviews are lost and gone forever.

1.4.02 | 2:24pm

mtv.com is highly interesting today. first, nick gets arrested for arguing with some lady at a club and not stopping when the cops told him too. they weren't even there for HIM, he just happened to catch their attention. poor kid. then i read "nsync films cameos for episode II." granted, they're not even speaking parts (i don't think) but STILL. now they're even trying to ruin star wars! pah to nsync.

the other story i read was about christina aguilera having a new cd expected in june. that's a long way away. do you realize that will be almost 3 years after she released her first cd? come on, that's just not nice. gosh darn it nsync is going to sing at the winter olympics too. okay, i don't have a huge problem with nsync. i really don't. it's just that they're freakin' EVERYWHERE. i'm sick of seeing their ugly little faces!!!

okay what's up with the "can't fight the moonlight" remix that's been on the radio lately? did they re-release that song for some strange reason? cuz i dunno about you but i was singing it a year ago when it was on the radio and now...it's back. except it's being played on kiss and not just 106.7. so i'm confused. maybe i'll see if there's leann rimes news at mtv.com. hmm. she's not even on the bands list. that's dumb. maybe i will try her official website. LOL she's engaged? to some guy named dean? whatever. isn't she like 12? okay not 12 but she's not that much older than me. she's...19. that's awfully young to be getting married, wouldn't you say?

okay all i've learned here is that she's engaged and she has some agreement with curb records so she can release new music soon or something. that doesn't help me much. *sigh* oh well. i guess i'll have to find my information elsewhere.

Hot 2002 celeb gossip!

1.3.02 | 10:26pm

okay my blog is being dumb and showing the old layout instead of the right background. blah. it did this last time too. i'll have to go mess with it.

More pointless updates...I guess I was concerned that my millions of viewers would try to visit my site, see things weren't quite right, and assume I was a moron whose website they should never visit again. Seems reasonable.

1.3.02 | 7:55pm

muchas gracias to amy for emailing me another 40 days and 40 nights poster. a much COOLER one too. gosh, don't i just have the bestest pen pal ever? :) i'm sure you're all just so excited to see this so...here it is:




yep. that would be it.

i'm upset, i got confused and when i read next week's tv guide i thought it was for THIS week so i thought there was a new episode of friends on. but no. oh well, next week's is new. i just caught the end of the preview...something about rachel and joey...yeah.

ooh joshhartnett.com has a lovely new layout. it hasn't been updated in like a year. okay, not that long. but it seems like a long time.

i'm rather excited for black hawk down to come out. it has all sorts of cool people. not just josh...ewan mcgregor and orlando bloom too. :) is it just me or is ewan a really weird name to say? lol they had a preview for that show on the wb...off centre or whatever...and there's some british guy named ewan...and the way the announcer guy said ewan just made me laugh. i guess i'm probably just easily amused. well, wish me a happy friday. i'm out.

Sadly, our luck ran out on this one and the image link is broken. And yes, joshhartnett.com still exists and is updated regularly. I might have just bookmarked it. Shh.

1.3.02 | 4:53pm

well, i think i've successfully gotten the layout up. there might be some mismatched pages somewhere, but i'll deal with those when i find them. i have a ton of stuff i want to update but i don't know if i'll actually do it tonight.

today i talked to emily and she *does* want to see a beautiful mind with me. and elisabeth still thinks we should go to the lord of the rings and laugh at it. since we've both seen it i figure it's alright if we laugh at it once. so depending on when she wants to do that, i may have to pull another movie-a-day weekend.

soo...on monday we have a test over the lord of the flies. lovely. and we have spanish presentations next week. i have a sales test tomorrow. as always, i'm not concerned. i'm really happy tomorrow is friday. school is so blah. at least i don't have gym tomorrow. that's always a positive.

well. i think i'm done with all the junk i have to do on the site so i'm gonna go be lazy for a bit.

I'm thankful every day that I don't have gym.

1.3.02 | 3:36pm

i'm attempting to put up the new layout today so if things look odd...that's why. yep.

I'm going to guess things definitely looked odd.

1.3.02 | 10:28pm

blah.

I don't even know.

1.2.02 | 8:05pm

oh my god like five people signed my guestbook in the last week! i'm excited. it's weird, a bunch of people sign it all at once then no one signs it for two months and so on.

i just got back from baton. i'm tired and hungry. i need some ohs. and i need to just sit down and not move for awhile. lol.

amy will enjoy this --- today i walked into the y for baton and matt was working and he decided it would be fun to say hi to me. he's SUCH a fruitcake, i'm telling ya. but i'm a nice person so i said hi back. i even tried to look cheery. ugh he gives me the creeps. anyway.

this weekend i have to make a poster for my spanish speech. yes, mrs. wildt thought it would be fun to give us a 100 point speech the first day back to school. you can't even imagine how happy i am that this is a short week. my mom agreed to go to kate & leopold saturday when we go to des moines. now i just have to convince someone that they need to see a beautiful mind with me friday or sunday. i'll have to take it up with emily. but now i am going to go eat before my stomach starts to consume its own tissue.

Apparently I lived off Ohs and other simple carbs.

1.2.02 | 1:36pm

i'm hungry. all i've eaten today is 3 breadsticks. it's all good.

i have baton tonight. :( boo. i almost forgot about it. i keep forgetting today is wednesday...i have to go to school 10 minutes early on wednesdays because the schedule is different but it totally slipped my mind...i was barely on time as a result, cuz i left at the same time i usually do. two of my four teachers were gone...yay. hanson is gone all week.

nicole and i took the digital cameras to get some lovely pictures for the portraits division page. hopefully at least a couple of them will work.

my contacts were being mean this morning. they kept popping out for no reason. it was upsetting me. speaking of nicole, she told me my eyes looked like watermelons. it was funny. i did some strange eyeshadow stuff today so i know what she means but the way she said it made me laugh.

well, i'm gonna go try to find some food and finish watching the wedding planner.

"Well, I'm gonna go try to find some food and finish The Wedding Planner" is basically still a standard goodbye from me.

1.1.02 | 3:29pm

hehe oooops. guess who posted the last blog twice? :)

Because it was super necessary to post this.

1.1.02 | 3:28pm

it's a good thing i slept till 11 or i would have a lot more hours to be bored. actually i've been doing okay today...went out to the video store and fun stuff like that. oh, i took ginger for a walk. this black dog was following us and she kept trying to protect me when the black dog would come and sniff my leg. it was funny because ginger doesn't look like the most menacing thing ever but she can be rather scary when you get her going.

icq won't minimize. this is bad because i can't see all of the blogger window. so if i make a mistake - i probably won't be able to see it so you're gonna have to deal with it.

i was excited, hollywood had heartbreakers on sale for $5. works for me. i've gotten so many cheap movies this week. today i saw robbie williams on cribs. i've seen it before but it's always fun to watch robbie williams. that guy cracks me up...granted, he's a little on the um...i can't even think of a word to describe it...uninhibited, crude, egotistical...lol. but somehow he manages to be like that and still seem decent. i love that song he does with kylie minogue...kids...where he's talking about sean connery and whatnot and then he's like rapping...it is the cutest thing ever. ANYWAY i'm going to go attempt to download some songs.

This checks out. Ginger was really hardcore for a fluffy little dog.

1.1.02 | 3:40am

yay. i just got back from laura's new year's party. it was pretty amusing. it's fun to watch tim's subtle attempts at hitting on laura. ha.

omg it's sooo cold out...i had my contacts case thingy in my purse and it was so cold that during the car ride home the solution inside FROZE! that's just crazy. but anyway.

today i went to des moines with my mom and my brother. didn't get anything, but it was something to do.

i hate staying up this late, it throws me off. i don't like being thrown off. and it's really icky that technically i have to go to school tomorrow. :( boo. i'm enjoying not having school. *surprise, surprise* no one's on icq. i don't know why i'm not tired. actually the problem is i'm so tired that i'm hyper. happens to me often. i haven't eaten in like 12 hours, i'm so hungry my stomach hurts. but there's nothing to eat so i probably won't. ;)

*yeah baby you're the right kind of wrong* emily liked moulin rouge. today i was attempting to explain the plot to m...oh my good god, nate is on icq! i am not alone in the world! as i was saying, i was trying to explain the plot to my mom because she just assumed that the whole thing was about "a whorehouse"...which it is, but not really. there IS one, but it's not the focus of the movie. yeah. brrrrr it's cold!!! :( :( :(

tonight beth poked herself in the eye and her contact popped out. it was fun. i want my twizzlers but they're upstairs where it's cold and i don't like being cold.

i got all the lord of the rings books. i was afraid i wouldn't like them just because of the way they're written but i started the hobbit and i'm doing okay with the language and whatnot. i'm already on page 17! lol it takes me a bit to get into books so that's quite the accomplishment. alright i gotta stop talking.

I can't imagine being awake at 3:40am. This is probably the last time I celebrated New Year's.

12.30.01 | 9:36am

i'm currently downloading "the bridge of khazad dum" from the fellowship of the ring. this song rocks, there's like chanting and stuff. lol.

so yeah, i don't have anything else to do while it downloads so i'm gonna blog. yahoo. my mom didn't wake me up @ 7 this morning and try to make me go to oskaloosa with her. wonder why. oh well, i'm not complaining.

yesterday i went to the mall to buy an aaron carter t-shirt...they are SO cute and i wanted like a kids' medium so it would fit me like my american eagle t-shirts i like but all they had were large and those were too big for the fit i wanted. :( i'll have to look at the sam goody @ merle hay when i go to des moines next weekend.

while i was at the mall i visited laura at work...she decided to have a new year's party and i'm supposed to be inviting people. it's hard, there's nobody around...but what can ya do.

i want to get a book but i don't know what's good. oh, i went back to hastings and got a couple more cheap movies yesterday too. oh, and i found my morpheus twin! it was so freaky, she had like the exact same songs i do. i just saw the episode of friends where joey finds his hand twin so that's the source of my terminology.

speaking of, there's a new episode of friends on next week! that makes me way happy. i'm sick of reruns. i have to wait until january 18 or something for a new episode of smallville. thankyouverymuch, winter hiatus.

but yeah, the AFI awards are on next saturday. i might watch...it's just one of the crazy awards shows that's not cool enough to be the golden globes or the oscars. so i dunno if it's worth it. you know what would be awesome...i saw someone mention this on their website and i agreed completely...if ewan mcgregor & nicole kidman performed "come what may" at one of the above mentioned award shows. it's a given nomination for best original song...and i know that at least ewan likes singing live...that would be the cutest thing ever.

ooh my song is done! da da DA da da DA...oh this is where it really gets good...the creepy chanting...hoo hoo hoo ha...lol sorry. the second time i watched the movie i was so into this song i was like bouncing around and whatnot...i had to do something since i already knew what was going to happen.

tengo hambre. i wish there was some pumpkin bread. there's certainly a lot of pumpkin bread mix but none of it is in the actual bread form at the moment. i had a strange dream about a talking panda last night. alright i'm leaving cuz now i'm just babbling and that's no fun.

I don't even know where to begin.

12.29.01 | 11:51am

hello hello. yesterday shannon called and we amused ourselves by going to the mall for a bit. my star wars calendar was 50% off so i got it. it's so cute, it has these flip animation things where you can watch jabba the hutt's ship on tatooine explode and luke & darth vader's lightsaber fight and an imperial cruiser getting shot at and a pod race...it's fun! then we went to hasting's just cuz neither of us have been there for a long time and we wanted to see what they had. they had a bunch of $6 videos so i got dick and center stage. i probably would have found more but shannon had to be home by 6 so i was feeling hurried and i couldn't look thoroughly.

today is a lovely saturday. nothing interesting going on, as usual. no clue what i'll do to entertain myself. i need to talk to laura sometime, i think she's got it in her head that she needs to have a new year's party so i should probably lend my support to her cause. i'm going to go print out my legolas pictures for my locker lol.

That calendar sounds legit amazing.

12.28.01 | 9:25am

yay! cranky thinks hayden christensen should win best supporting actor @ the oscars. he WON'T because the oscars tend to be dumb sometimes. i'll be happy if he even gets nominated. but with the golden globes thing...you never know. check out my oscar watch page here if you have any interest in that sort of thing.

Man, I really was doing God's work - poor Hayden Christensen never gets the credit he's due after Attack of the Clones turned everyone against him.

12.28.01 | 9:02am

what is mallory going to do today? she's going to attempt to become motivated enough to go to wal-mart in the icky coldness and get the new no doubt cd. then i will probably watch a movie or two cuz i have nothing else to do.

yesterday the eye doctor thought it would be fun to dilate my eyes. i've never had it done before, it was kinda trippy. i don't like having huge pupils though, i look like a zombie. so anyway...that was the fun thing i did yesterday.

eventually i need to cut up the new layout for this site (moulin rouge!) and post it. but i don't really want to. i want to do something easier so i don't have to deal with that for another month or so. but i'm impaired when it comes to using my graphics program so nothing looks as cool as it should anyway.

i'm upset because there are all these no doubt songs on morpheus but they're just like clips playing over and over so close that you can't even tell so you think the song is just REALLY repetitive until you figure out what's going on. it's driving me crazy cuz it makes it really hard to find the real song. well, i'm going to go attempt to fashion an easy layout.

Firsthand frustration from those times you'd spend hours downloading a song on, um, MORPHEUS, and it would just be a clip on repeat = amazing.

12.27.01 | 11:43pm

i just got back from my second viewing of the lord of the rings. it was annoying...the first time i was really impatient and this time i wasn't so it was easier to sit through but i already knew what was going to happen so...yeah.

either way, laura and i decided legolas was the coolest and now we're going to put him in our locker.

i'm on the tired side. *and you can tell everybody this is your song...it may be quite simple but now that it's done...* WOW the people from that movie look way different without the weird hair and whatnot. seriously. not to mention this picture is huge so everyone's head is about the size of my computer screen. *we should be lovers...we can't do that...we should be lovers and that's a fact*...sorry. i like to sing.

you know something cool? the guy that is legolas is going to be in black hawk down. isn't that handy dandy? while we were waiting in line @ the theater laura and i gawked at the bhd poster for a few minutes. it's really a cool poster if you look at it long enough. yeah i'm going now.

It continues to amaze me how much I say is super random and super pointless.

12.27.01 | 10:44am

look what i found! the 40 days and 40 nights poster!



isn't it cute? of course it is.

Miraculously, this image still exists.

12.27.01 | 10:31am

ARGH! i just did this nice long blog and then my other browser window froze so i had to close them and i copied my blog so i could post it after i re-opened explorer but IT'S NOT PASTING!!!! grr.

well, let's see. i talked about my trip to des moines yesterday with my dad and how the only place he can find is the health food store and i had to use my superb sense of direction to find a best buy.

then i talked about nightwatch and how it was a total guilty pleasure that everyone should watch.

hmm. oh yeah, then i comlained about my eye appointment because i lost one of my trial contacts yesterday. i think that about covers it.

OH and i said cranky didn't like ali, which was good because i don't really want to see it anyway. yeah, that was all.

so. today i don't have a whole lot to do. until my eye appointment. i need to go to wal-mart and get my pictures. they BETTER be back by now.

i didn't know ryan phillippe was in gosford park. the things you learn at cranky's site are amazing. i wonder if cranky reviewed nightwatch. hehe i'll have to look.

i had an icky headache yesterday, i'm glad it's gone. so far anyway. i really need to go to the movie theater. see SOMETHING. there's so much junk out these days. YAY, cranky DID review nightwatch. fun! ooh he liked kate & leopold. i really wanna see that. okay, let's see what he had to say about nightwatch. okay cranky didn't review it, his faithful sidekick did. and cranky's faithful sidekick liked it! LOL that makes me feel better.

so anyway, i don't know what i'm going to do today. yeah. i'll probably watch another movie or something. have some ohs.

I'm telling you, Ohs are delicious.

I was weirdly obsessed with Cranky Critic, apparently. His website looks the same today as I remember it from 2001.
