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.

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!

Oops, haven’t been blogging..again! Life’s been a little crazy for me at the moment. I wanted to make sure to blog though. I love these cute new Halloween themes. I also wanted to wish anyone viewing this a Happy Halloween if you celebrate.

Anyways, it was my daughter’s birthday she’s getting so grown up *sigh*. That means I’m getting older and my B-day is coming up also. There is alot to do for my daughter this school year. Her school has a new system online where parents can keep track of their grades, homework, attendance and whatnot. It’s pretty helpful.

Has anyone seen the new Harry Potter trailer? OMG! It looks great, but it also just makes me more sad that they pushed back the release date until next year.

Again Happy Halloween everyone!

Well it seems that the damage from Hurricane Gustav could have been much worse. Thank goodness for that. Of course we still have to watch out for Fay, and Ike among others. I am trying to be thankful for things that I have instead on focusing on what I don’t. I’ve seen images on the news of devastation from Katrina, that still have not been fixed. This is aside from what happened during Gustav’s course. There are people still living in squalor, and I don’t think the government is doing enough. It’s very ironic that those who seemed to have the least to lose (as far as material possessions) were hit the hardest. Of course when you don’t have that many resources, your choices in life are more limited.

Changing gears now, I plan to blog about more cheerful things next time. I really appreciate the Hello Kitty community for giving us email and blog services free of charge. If I set up my own site, I will definately link this one to tell people about it!

On this third year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, I just wanted to remind everyone to say a little prayer for everyone that lives in the Gulf Coast. Also offer a prayer for everyone that will be in Hurricane Gustav’s path. Three years have passed since Katrina, and there are still people that aren’t living in proper conditions. It really upsets me that this is going on, and the government doesn’t seem to be doing enough. Even if you don’t know anyone who lives in that part of the country, just think if it were you or somebody that you loved. I read message boards where some people said that anyone caught in the hurricane were putting themselves in harms way because they didn’t leave. It’s not that simple. I read a majority of people that died were senior citizens who had no resources to leave. Everyone should think about these things before saying “It doesn’t relate to me”.  We should stop and take some time to care about our fellow human being in our day to day lives.

Take care everyone.

I would of enjoyed American Idol more last night had I not been surfing the net prior to watching. Someone on a message board (not here) posted David Cook wins American Idol right in the title spoiling for me and others! Very rude, but whatever. I just wish people would remember Pacific Coast time, is different and some people may have not seen the results yet. I also wish people would not put spoilers in their title posts on message boards! Alright, I am done ranting for now. I can say -YAY David Cook won Idol!! I would not have been too disappointed if little David had won. He seems like such a nice boy. He has a great voice, and I’m sure he will get a record deal as well. It’s just nice to see a rocker broke the idol mold. Speaking of that, it was also great to see Kristi win Dancing With The Stars also!
