Weekend Update
Ok, here's what's been going on with me!
* The job (that was "the new job" last fall) is going well, although the excitement of "the new job" has worn off, and now it's just "the job". Could be better, could be worse.
* Started Weight Watchers a couple of months ago and am down almost 20lbs. I stalk the website at work and have a stack almost a foot high of recipes that I've printed off. The roomies have never eaten so well. (although I swear my roomie is trying to sabotage me - three weeks ago she spent the entire weekend baking SIX cheesecakes, and this week she made like, 6 dozen chocolate chip cookies. Not cool)
* I've finally gotten my ass back to the pool, and a friend and I are trying yoga next. I'm looking forward to finding out how not flexible I am.
* Still in the apartment we moved into last October, but the roomies want to move. *SIGH* What a major pain in my ass that is. The apartment hunt has already begun, and I am NOT looking forward to having to pack up and move all my shit again.
* I went into mourning for about a week after the Patriots lost the Superbowl. I still can't talk about it.
* My creepy affair with Efron from last summer has ended, thankfully (though that's not to say that I'm not planning on seeing 17 Again or that I am not somewhat intrigued by Me and Orson Welles). However, my fangirl affections have been COMPLETELY AND SRSLY captured by another - and you'll find out who that is a little further down :D
Ok, now onto
Favorite Show of the moment: The Office. How deliciously uncomfortable and horrible was "Dinner Party"? (though Shameless, S1-2, on the BBC is drawing a close second. My obsession with that got me through most of the writers strike)
Favorite Upcoming Movie of the moment: Twilight - Duh. And, uh, how awesome is it that Mtv.com has "Twilight Tuesdays"? A whole day devoted to Twilight and to get my fangirl fix. (LINK UPDATE - Mtv.com BEHIND-THE-SCENES!!)
Favorite Songs of the moment:
* All Fall Down - OneRepublic
* Make This Go On Forever - Snow Patrol
* When Your Mind's Made Up - from Once
* Novacaine - Little Big Town
* Stuttering - Ben's Brother
* I've Just Seen a Face - from Across the Universe
* Get Outta My Head - My Hootie love has totally been renewed (BONUS!: Before the Heartache Rolls In
Yeah, I seem to be really into the big operatic, orchestral, all-encompassing sound right now.
Favorite Book of the moment: Atonement. Simply stunning.
Favorite Movie of the moment: The Last King of Scotland - fuh.cking.ah.maz.ing.the.end.
And that is, in large part, thanks to this man:
Mr. James McAvoy - whom I completely adore - and am kind of obsessed with. Mainly because of things like this:
This:
And this:
IN-TENSE, man.
More McAvoy Sex-on-a-stick-ness:
SO adorable.
HEE!
If you STILL aren't in love with this man, I would have you please bear witness to the Scottish Vaccuum of Charm
And just as a note, I fell in love with McAvoy WAY before the whole Atonement phenom. Have to give myself that little bit of street cred.
And yes, I realize this pretty much became a "How much do I love James McAvoy" post, and I'm comfortable with that - because he is just that. fucking. GOOD.
So, that's what's been going on with me - nothing exciting. What have you all been up to???
