All I did this weekend...

So my Dad got me the first season of Smallville for my birthday which was two months ago, and I decided to watch like 10 episodes of it this weekend. There wasn't much going on so that's how I decided to spend it.

First of all, this is one of the best shows ever! I watched like the first three seasons when they were on live but, stopped watching for one reason or another.

It's about superman before he became superman. When he was in high school. I'm a big dork I've always really like the Superman movies, tv shows (Lois and Clark... remember that?!) and comic books.

Second of all, my perfect man plays Clark Kent (Tom Welling). Just look...


Anyway, if you've never seen it... now is the time! They have 8 seasons right now. And they are all on Netflix. Go Now!

More mens

Seriously?

Come to Becky... come to Becky....

Go team USA!

An Ode to the Summer Olympics

I have been glued to my seat this entire weekend watching them. Although, I'm still in the prehistoric age with my rabbit eared antenna on my TV, NBC comes in kinda fuzzy, I still can't stop watching them.

These people have committed their life to their sport. Dedication, perseverance, extreme talent, and athleticism. Seeing their dreams become a reality is an amazing feeling.

I watched the medal ceremony in which Michael Phelps won the gold medal for swimming last night. You could see how proud of himself he was standing on the highest platform, with the national anthem playing. It was pure emotion. It was awesome!
So... here is to the Summer Olympics in Beijing! Go team USA!

Sidenote: These athletic men of our own swim team really makes the games more pleasurable to watch.


Ummm yeah....
Need I say more?

I'm so tired!

What a crazy weekend! It was fun... but very tiring. Yesterday I was so lethargic that I felt like I had been drugged or something.

Friday I got off work at noon because I felt really sick. So, I went home and slept for like 4 hours. It was great. In the evening The Guitar Hero and I went shopping for wedding clothes. He was actually really fun to shop with. He didn't mope around or drag his feet from place to place. He tried stuff on and was feeling material. I was quite impressed. At one point I think I called him a girl. He just kinda laughed it off. Then we got Pei Wei watched part of "Superbad," played some Guitar Hero (of course) and then went home. *Sidenote* I think I have some sort of addiction to that game. I'm always the one that suggests playing it. I guess I have always wanted to be a rock star or something.

Saturday was really crazy. I didn't sleep well for some reason so I was really tired. I went and weighed in at Weight Watchers and lost 0.8 lbs! Woohoo! I was really excited. A total of 4.4 lbs. Then I went to get my hair done. I showed the lady exactly what I wanted and an hour and whole can of hairspray later it was done! And gorgeous!

Not the best picture... but you get the idea.



Then I was off to the mall to get my free makeover. They lady did a number on me. She spent about 15 minutes alone on my eyes. But it turned out really cool!

The wedding was REALLY fun! They had gambling tables and a really good DJ. It was on a terrace that overlooked the downtown area. And to my great surprise the Guitar Hero could dance. Ok, not just slow dance mind you, but fast dance, swing, AND two step! I could have danced the whole night if I was given the chance. I also was the lucky one to catch the bouquet but unfortunately my forgetful self left it at the hotel. Oh well! All in all, it was a fabulous evening. Also, the whole event was taped for the reality show "Whose Wedding is it Anyway." So, look for me on tv around October. I'll keep you updated on when it will air.






Congratulations Molly and Phillip! Love you guys :-)

Quarter of life crisis and other worries

Everyone has heard of a mid-life crisis right? Well, that's nothing compared to my quarter of life crisis that I'm going through right now.

The big question is... WHAT THE F*CK am I going to do now??? Ok, so I have a college degree. Right now it seems as useless as a plastic bag caught in an updraft. (Yes, I know that is an American Beauty reference. I'm a film snob remember?) Anyway, every job I find requires 10- 15 years of experience or it's an entry level sales job which I DO NOT want!

Which has led me to several conclusions...

1) I would rather be poor and live in a box than have a sales job.
2) The job market really sucks right now.
3) The only time I am truely happy is if I am doing something that involves film making.
4) I have nothing holding me or keeping me in San Antonio anymore.

These several conclusions has lead me to another conclusion. Where is the one place in the US that is known for movies and finding your dream? HOLLYWOOD, CA! Well, I'm not entirely stupid. I'm not just going to pack my bags and hop on a plane to LA tomorrow or something. But, I'm seriously thinking about moving there.

So... I decided I should probably talk to my Uncle, who has been an actor out there for a good 30 years. Which I did tonight. Now I do have to say, I thought he would have all these amazing connections. But, when we spoke tonight he told me straight up that, while he does know a lot of people it still may be hard to find me a job. He did on the other hand say that he and my aunt would do ANYTHING they could to help me. Which really meant a lot to me. He also had some very wise words for me. Hollywood is a brutal place. He said you have to truely "have a fire in your belly" for you to become successful in that town. You have to grow another layer of thick skin, because rejection is a daily occurrence.

The question of the hour is what to do for now? Well, I definitely need to be making more money. While my car is fixed, it's still very old and it may not last much longer. Starting in November I will have to begin paying back my student loans as well as paying back my Mom all the money that she lent me while I was in school, which is actually more than I owe the government.

Anyway, this is kinda the mindset I am in right now.


What else... oh yeah! I asked The Guitar Hero to go with me to Molly's wedding. He agreed. Only if he could wear his chucks. LOL! Absolutely. :-) Now, while I am excited about this I am kind of nervous about it too. We've only been on two dates. So, I don't know them him THAT well. Plus I will be introducing him to everyone. So, guys... please be nice to him. Thanks! Also, BB will be there. Ugh... I hope he acts appropriately. Not a pretty sight when he drinks. He better not say anything. This is Molly and Phillips day... and nothing else should matter. I'm getting my hair done and I have a new dress. I can't wait to get all pretty :-)

That should be it for tonight.

Peace to all!

I forgot to post this video...

Molly was such a good bachelorette. She did everything she was asked. Even this...

Weekend Wrap- up

Friday

After work, my friend took me to pick up my car! Finally right? I was SO excited to see it. He even washed it and vacuumed it out for me! Thanks B!

Then I went home and cleaned my apartment because The Guitar Hero was going to come over later. He came over around 8:30 along with his XBox and you guessed it Guitar Hero! I think we ended up playing it for like two hours, then watched my favorite movie Back to the Future. I feel asleep for the most of it though. It was a great night in.

Saturday

I went to weight watchers in the morning. I lost 2.8 pounds this week! I have no idea how that happened! I tried to take a nap after that but I had too much to do get ready for the Bachelorette Party. We all caravaned up to Austin around 8. We made it there by 9. Checked into our hotel, and got ready to go out. We all wore a little black dress. Mourning the loss of Molly's singledom. We all looked very smoking hot!

This is what I like to call my before picture.

Molly dressed up in her Bachelorette gear!

Here is all of us in the elevator.

Erin and I while we waited for a cab.


This is my first free drink of the night at Pure. Looks pretty, right?

This is the awesome dance floor at Qua. There were sharks and sting rays swimming under us as we danced.

This is what I would like to call my after picture.



Sunday

First of all...

Sunday morning

Not so bad for having a hangover!

After eating breakfast at Trudy's... OMG! SO SO SO SO good! Steph and I went to IKEA. Ok it was my first time there... I went totally crazy. That place is so awesome! I have been looking for a new coffee table. And as soon as I walked in, I found the perfect one. Plus it was only $30!

Here's the addition to my home...





Now I'm going to go crash... only to wake up at 6:30 tomorrow! Ugh... my world keeps turning!
