John Hughes who’s famous for writing big 80’s hits such as Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club, and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off died today at the age of only 59. I love just about everything to do with the 80’s,  and I loved many of his films. It’s just so sad to see him go at such a young age.

It’s so strange how so many well known people are passing away. I didn’t blog about it here, but Farrah  Fawcett and of course Michael Jackson passing recently. My heart goes out to all their families.

Bill Clinton went to North Korea on a diplomatic trip concerning two US journalists that were being held in custody. Now the two women are free and back home with their families. Way to go Mr. Clinton!! No matter what people may feel about him, he has done a good thing this week.

It’s so wonderful that Euna Lee and Laura Ling have reunited with their loved ones. I can’t even begin to imagine what they have gone through. It was so touching to see the first pictures of them hugging their families. It was just good to see this day come.

The Harry Potter 6 movie was soo good! If you haven’t seen it yet you must go (unless you not a fan of course). It had some good humor, and of course some dark and serious moments. I don’t want to say too much, but there is a great tragedy in the film. I liked the fifth movie o.k., but I was concerned when I heard what changes the director was making. I did not have to worry. The movie was acted well, and visually stunning. I heard some theaters were having showings at 3am! I’m tired now, the film was over 2hrs, 30min.!

I just wanted to do a quick blog, because I’m soo happy that Harry Potter 6 is coming out on Wednesday This after almost a year long delay, thanks Warner Brothers. Oh well, it doesn’t matter now. The only bad thing is that I wanted to see it at an Imax theater, but that also got delayed until July 29. Some theaters are already sold out of the midnight showings! Anyways, just happy that I’m going to see it and wanted to use this Little Twin Stars theme I’m a little late since it’s a spring theme, and it’s summer now. It’s just too cute so there you go.

Wow, it’s been awhile since I posted. Just wanted to make a quick post, this new theme is soo kawaii! I want to wish all the moms out there Happy Mother’s Day!

Summer is fast approaching, so that’s always good. It will be nice to spend some time outdoors, and feel the sunshine. I’m thinking of making a personal site just for something to keep myself occupied.

So tonight is the season finale of The Celebrity Apprentice. OMG! I see that it’s going to be 3 hours (sigh). I don’t think I can take watching the whole thing. I probably just watch part of it, then go online to see who won. I’ve talked before about watching reality show, but I’m starting to lose interest. These shows tend to milk everything they can for more interest, but I think it can have the opposite effect.

I’ll try and blog again soon.

I’m writing this really late and getting ready for bed, so this will probably be really short. Oh, I actually received some comments on my last post! I was really shocked but happy about that.

Today marks one year since the untimely death of Heath Ledger. It’s just so sad to think of all the great work we’ll never see him do. It is also heartbreaking that his daughter (who looks just like her father) will not get to know him. He was so young, and maybe he had an inner sadness that most people did not know about him.

On to more lighter fare, I’ve been watching Idol these past few episodes and not that impressed. I’ve noticed that they are trying to put more emotionally charged stories into the show. Like the man who lost his wife just a few weeks before the audition was so sad. There was also the touching story about the man who puts his own needs aside to take care of his sick mother. I bet a lot of women will be calling him after this!

Hope everyone is doing well. I’m off to bed, goodnight!

I just wanted to post to say I watched in awe as we here in America watched Barack Obama take oath as our 44th President. I am not ashamed to say that I wept when it happened. I did not think at this point of my life I would see our first African-American President. I thought that I would be an old woman by the time I saw such an event. This inauguration felt different than past ones. It just felt so much more emotional and powerful than in the past. I’m sure the rest of the world was watching us as all this happened. I hope that with this new era we can set an example of what this country can do.

As the Holidays are fast approaching, I hope everyone has a happy season. This time of year can be so crazy with last minute shopping, and all the preparations. I hope that everyone takes some time to remember what is truly important, all throughout the year.

On a lighter note, Dancing With The Stars was pretty good. Like I said, this season I just wasn’t that into it. I also read online that the new season of American Idol is going to have a few changes come January. One of those changes is that they won’t show as much of the awful contestents that will not go through to following rounds. I guess that they want to focus on the more talented contestants. Noo!! I’m sure that I’m not the only one to feel that the awful contestants are one of the more entertaining aspects of the show. Oh well, we will see how it goes.

If I don’t blog again soon I hope that everyone has a Happy New Year!

So tonight is the Semi-Final round for Dancing With The Stars. I’m not as excited about it as I thought I would be. This season has just been so-so for me. There was a lack of break out performances, but there’s been the usual overflow of filler content. We shall see what happens.

Oh, I’ve been so sick the past few days. Everyone in my family got some kind of cold/virus and I was the last one to get it. This has been the worst I’ve felt in awhile. I think I’m starting to feel better, but I still don’t have much of an appetite.  I guess I’ll save having any rich food for the end of the month since Thanksgiving is coming up :).

Just wanted to write and say, yes change is coming! I usually don’t like to air my political views, but this is important. America needs new leadership that we can look up to. Obviously I’m glad Obama won, but I do have to admit McCain was very gracious in his speech. I’m actually excited about things to come, and I haven’t felt that way in awhile :).
