moved here...just because.

oh what a week...

2009-04-24T11:28:00.003-04:00

This is how I've felt this week.

It hasn't been good.

I hate getting in arguments with people and everyone picks a side to be on.

I don't like feeling against people and I don't like feeling that people are against me.

But that's just how it is for right now.

ugh.

Orlando Bloom is in Durham!!

Filming a movie called Main Street. They have been filming in the area around my office and several people have seen him and even worked out in the same gym with him!

I can't wait until this movie come out! So cool for good ole D-Town!

i don't understand why...

2009-04-16T10:56:00.003-04:00

Why do people (unc fans) hate Greg Paulus SO much?? I do not get this. They use to all hate J.J. Redick, which I also didn't really understand either but he was monstrously talented (and very cute!) and I guess people don't like that very much. Is it because he plays for Duke? People LOVE to hate Duke. Yesterday one of my friends on Facebook status update was "loves to hate Greg Paulus." This person is not from North Carolina and didn't not attend UNC so why all the hating??? Maybe because he excelled in two sports and people are jealous? He was a highly recruited quarterback coming out of high school but choose to play basketball instead. Now he is considering playing a year of football at Michigan. Don't how that works but I say good for him!

I don't what anyone says,

I heart you Greg Paulus.

i love it...

when something small makes you smile the rest of the day.

I wish this would happen to me

I love this!! The Sound of Music is one of my all-time favorites. I'm pretty sure I can recite the entire movie and sing all of the songs.

Goods things on a Tuesday

2009-04-14T14:13:00.005-04:00

1. Lunches with my Mom and Carrie. I love being able to get lunch with friends during the week! It just makes the day so much better.

2. The Lonely 1 by Wilco. Sort of obsessed with this song. It's so lovely, sweet and sad.

3. Getting this email notification from- "Matt made you an administrator of the event "Viva La Mia Las Vegas Bday". Thanks Matty.

4. Carrie's book idea. She found out a little nugget of info over the weekend that would honestly be a really good book and movie. We were trying to cast the movie over lunch.

5. Thunderstorm washing away the pollen.

Okay, and I can be a testimonial!

"Ever since I started shopping at C.C House of Hotties, I have not spent a single moment alone! The selection of hotties is more vast than any I have seen before! She has all types; from tall, dark and handsome, to short, bowlegged and redheaded. I have had more male attention than I can handle, and it's all thanks to thanks to C.C extroadinary pimping skills. Thank you C. C for your tireless dedication to the finding the cure for a lonely life!"

my friends are the best!

this is from a very long facebook message between me, court and carrie.

Summer should really be almost over but it just doesn't seem to want to let go. The heat keeps following me around. Every place where we went out Saturday seemed to have no air conditioning and it was one of those nights were it's still about 80 at midnight. Then I woke up to a completely unexplained power outage on another 90 degree day- although it did come back on that afternoon. And today...well, there's no a/c in my office. My brain is melting, melting, melting.

I want an old-school camera. With actual film that has to be developed. Remember those days??

2008-09-12T09:47:00.003-04:00

Dearest Michael Phelps,

Can you please be on ALL of the TV shows that I like? Or even ones that I don't. I feel certain that you could somehow be written into Gossip Girl or Lost or 30 Rock or any show really. SNL will just not be enough...

xoxo,

April

Family History

2008-09-10T16:29:00.004-04:00

These are pictures I found on Endangered Durham of the car dealership that was owned by my family from 1893 to 1989. I was so happy to find these!! Amazing! The first one is from 1923 and the second is from the 70's.

Got to have a little tour of The Lemur Center today! They are very odd little creatures but it was an interesting way to spend the morning. My job is so fun and random sometimes.

2 Awesome things

2008-09-05T09:08:00.006-04:00

Two awesome things to start off Friday:

1. Blair and Serena from Gossip Girl are going to be doing a guest spot on 30 Rock!! This is a TV dream come true!!

2. This website has 50 covers of songs from Madonna, Michael Jackson and Prince- since they all recently turned 50. Ryan Adams does a cover of 'Like a Virgin'- love that one! Amy Winehouse and Charlotte Church covering 'Beat It'- maybe the strangest combo ever but kind of awesome. John Legend and Stephen Colbert singing the Michael Jackson song 'The Girl is Mine' is SO freaking funny. I've never heard of this song but...it's worth listening to.

UPDATE: Court-30 Rock comes back October 30!!!
