Dreams

Ugh. Just want to sleep. Sleep last night sucked, as I dreamed something about posting a tidbit about NASCAR on some LJ community and it becoming a giant wankfest (with lots of comments on the redneckness of NASCAR fans) and ending up on Fandom Wank. Where for some reason the mocking was of...NASCAR fans.

Dream me was very defensive I think.

Also I dreamed I was looking at my LJ user info page and there was a strike through londonhopeful's name, which meant...deleted LJ, and I was upset.

And then the alarm went off and I hit snooze. *g* But the alarm did stop the dreaming.

Parents are leaving at 2 today for Ireland for two weeks. Whee! There's much excitement in this, as my mother has never been overseas. Also...Ireland! Seriously, it's right near Wales! (Welsh heritage - go with me here.)

So You Think You Can Dance

Officially pissed off at this show. Why? Because I don't for one minute buy that anyone but Nigel is making a decision on who goes home. Bottom three? Yeah, America's vote. But his reasoning last night (on the guys - seriously, for some reason, the guys are the ones I never understand) made me want to hit the TV.

And if the final three couples aren't Benji/Donyelle, Travis/Martha and Musa/Natalie, then I'll eat my shorts (if I had shorts).

(Side note: Allison doing hip hop made me realize why I like her, but might not love her. Great dancer, amazing technique, girl next door look...and a perpetual smile at inappropriate times. Melody felt like a more powerful dancer last year, so I was willing to give her more of a benefit of the doubt, which hey, she did learn to stop smiling. Allison needs to match the mood of them music more.)

Superman Returns

Superman Returns

Because I just...man! I'm such a fangirl who has kept quiet and kept my expectations low and yet, less than a week out I'm all asquealy.

bubblesbrnaid and eliz - Next Wednesday, the 28th, either of y'all wanna go with me to see Superman Returns? I'm being good (as I'll be exhausted if I try the 10 pm on the 27th route) and going to go on the evening of the 28th. But man, it's SUPES!

(And for this I'm using my Chris as Supes icon. *floves him* No one will top him for me, but the love for the franchise will always be there.)

This afternoon shall be spent doing massive amounts of research. Great! I love getting direction at the last minute and it consists of "Well, we haven't searched for articles since...April." (Media monitoring to see if a client has been mentioned in the press.)

April? APRIL? I was hoping since maybe early June, not April!

*sigh*

I was watching a rerun of Celebrity Poker Showdown at lunch (mainly because I never did catch the end of the one with Jeff Gordon, so my opportunity was now). A sign of being too involved in a sport? I was actually rooting for Jeff over Angie Dickinson. There's something WRONG with me. Also, I also called Penn Jillette's faux pas before Jeff said anything: after Jeff won the whole thing, Penn brought him a glass of milk for his victory. My response? "But...that's for the Indy 500." Jeff's response? "I won the Indy 500?" Dear Penn, WRONG PORTION OF MOTORSPORTS.

And lastly, with just under a week to go, it's Dale Jarrett vs. Michael Waltrip in the FOX Sexiest Driver poll. (Yes, we're not looking at a Gordon v. Junior repeat like last year.) Right now we're at Mikey 52%, DJ 48%. Last week, when it started, the voting patterns had it at Mikey 86%, DJ 14%. Uh huh. The people have come back for DJ that far in one week. That's with more than 16 million votes cast. Do you know what the voting total was on DJ v. Jeffy? 80 million. Last year, the only person to come close to beating Junior (when the contest was actually advertised) was DJ, by .2% (and the vote totals were nowhere near where they are this year).

Personally? They best tell DJ live on the air and with loud fanfare. Cause you know he's going to win this. And it will RULE to see him blush and be all cute. (I wouldn't mind if Mikey won, but DJ's the hotness to me. DJ is only second to Bobby Labonte in my book, so I root for DJ every time.)
