"Bet On It" vs. "Scream"

in HSM there was "Get'cha Head In the Game". In HSM2, it was "Bet On It", which was, by far, my favorite scene and song from the movie. In HSM3 it's "Scream" that takes the cake. These are all of Troy's (aka Zac Efron) "monologues", which of course are done in sing-song (aren't musicals the best?!). Though "Bet On It" has been my fave for the past year, HSM3 definately did deliver with "Scream", though i can't say for sure which song is my favorite yet. I go back and forth... sometimes i think the filming of "Scream" is better, and of course it would be with the bigger budget. But i just don't know if anything can top the pixie-like leaping and frolicking through the golf course that Zac delivers so well. I mean, how many guys could prance along the grass with such grace and still be so darn cool and good looking? For gazelles it may be easy, but for humans, it is quite the challenge. So I've posted both videos, neither of them HQ(give me a break here, they are from youtube), so I can weigh the pros and cons and make an educated decision on which is the better "monologue". Let's face it, the real reason i posted these has little to do with finding out which is better, and everything to do with the fact that i have a hard time getting through the ten hour work day, and a little Zefron makes it a tiny bit easier. I just didn't want to have to search youtube each time. I'm lazy, so sue me.

"Bet On It"



"Scream"


any thoughts?

yesterday was a pretty good day. i got my halloween costume in the mail, and it is gorgeous. at first i was feeling total buyer's remorse for spending so much on a costume, what with the economy being horrible like it is right now, but when i put it on last night, i couldn't help but fall in love. believe me, i will be wearing the costume long after halloween is over. it is perfect.

i also found, after two weeks of searching, the W magazine with angelina jolie on the cover. i don't like W magazine normally, it's really not my cup of tea as far as magazines go, but she is stunning, and she is such an amazing woman, so obviously i had to see the pictures and have my very own copy of the mag. inside is a thirty-something page layout all of photos shot by brad pitt (maybe you've heard of him?) and a small article attached. she is so graceful and so kind and truly, when the woman speaks i am like "HOLY CROW" because she is just so articulate and amazing. i want to be like her when i grow up.... wake up, feed the kids, give to charity, put babies down for naps, adopt babies who need homes from thrid world coutries, make out with beautiful husband who likes my body better with stretch marks from giving birth, play with adorable kids at the chateau, build a school for children in africa, make out with gorgeous husband, make dinner, give kids baths, put kids to bed, watch a little project runway on tivo, make out with most beautiful man alive, fall asleep with most beautiful man alive, get woken up two hours later by beautiful babies. sounds perfect.

also lately i have been on this old movie kick and i have been watching all these old timer movies. i watch at least one a day (after my chores and excercise are complete, thankyouverymuch). my favorites so far have been chinatown, heaven can wait, and bonnie and clyde, but only because warren beatty was such a hunkasaurus. i just finished breakfast at tiffany's last night and i have to say, it was not what i expected AT ALL. it is quite possibly the most depressing movie i have ever seen. sheesh, talk about a downer. the next movies on my netflix queue are: valley of the dolls, splendor in the grass, and reds. it's ridiculous how excited i am to watch them this weekend. it's also ridiculous how excited i am for...
the midnight showing of hsm3 which i am going to tonight. you know, i feel a sudden urge to defend myself for being such a weiner and having no life, but i do have a life, and it's a pretty good one, so i'm not gonna apologize for that.

WHY?

this should never be allowed...

yummy.

i have to say, i am obsessed with these babies. i only see them about once a week, but when i'm not with them, i think about them. they are so delicious and beautiful and i love them so much. it's weird to me that i can love someone so much that i don't even know yet. when i hold them i just want to squeeze them (don't worry, i won't) because they are so precious!! it reminds me of that part on juno when juno runs out of the abortion clinic and the little asian girl who is petitioning outside yells out: "GOD APPRECIATES YOUR MIRACLE!!" (haha oh dear). seriously it sounds so cheesy but babies are so crazy perfect, they are like mini miracles. it's crazy to think that BOTH of these humans were in nichole's stomach a month ago. WOW! what a woman!!


connor holding baby lucy.

baby lucy...

me and baby lucy. she looks more upset than she really is... i actually think that's her happy face.
me and lulu again.
this is me contemplating kidnapping. seriously, that is the most beautiful baby ever.
this is sawyer!! he is the little man of the house! i can't believe he is actually a boy! i can't wait until he starts making airplane noises and playing cars and wearing little swim trunks in the summer!! and boy underwear!! that is the cutest thing ever.
me and soy toy part 2.

he is the most astute baby. he is like a professor, seriously. hahaha i love him.
check out how concernicus he is in this picture. please note that i am not holding him, connor is. so, i can't be blamed for the obvious look of total confusiosity that is on his face.
me and ella bella. she has the best personality, seriously. she is such a good big sister and she is so fun to talk to!! she has so many ideas and stories, i love listening to her. plus her voice is the sweetest sounding thing of all time.
ethan and lucy.

perfection.

so beautiful, so lucky.
little lulu.
look at those lips... perfection!
well, i'm not going to lie and say that i didn't set this one up, but look how good ella takes direction! she is such a loving big sister. she is such a sweetheart.
she took of lucy's blanket because she wanted me to be able to see her cute little feet!! and what perfect addendums they are!!

i love my family so much, each and every one of them. sometimes, if i let myself, i can become completely consumed by the love i have for them. they are each so amazing in their own way, and an example to me of so many different things. there are times when i think that my family is so weird, that no one else possibly deals with the weirdness that we deal with, but i've never wished that i was anywhere but right where i am. i know i belong here, with these people, and i know this is where my story starts. i know i get my inspiration and encouragement from these people, i know these are the people who will show up for me, who will defend me, who will love me. i know that the people in my family are the people who've known me the longest, the people who've grown up with me, the people who saw me through my awkward stage (ok, fine... awkward stageS!) and still love me. none of us are perfect, but we fit perfectly together; through the disagreements and the annoyances, the births and the deaths, the good times, the not so good times, the bad times, the worse times, and the amazing times. i love them and i'm glad i'm one of them because if i wasn't, i'd hate them all for being so freaking good looking.

things i am excited for, part one.

ok, guys. this is not my original hope for my "excited" blog, but i am doing the best i can with my resources (i.e. i STILL don't have my own laptop, which means i am operating on my work computer OR my family's desktop which is run by demons) so just bare with me. i really had wanted to have picturesto go with this, but too bad so sad for me. that's just life. so here is my boring, low quality blog about what i am most excited for in the upcoming fall/winter season.

1. fall/winter '08 collections from the following: chanel, marc jacobs, chloe... really the list goes on. but fall fashion is my favorite of all the fashion seasons. i love fall makeup, the deep greens and plums and golds and then winter makeup with rosy red cheeks and black and silver eyes. deep reds, purples, greens and golds are my favorite as far as clothes go. it's always so fun to see the new bags that come out for the season (marc jacobs kills me every year). if i was a money saver, this is what i would save all my money for: FALL FASHIONS!

2. these sunglasses. they will be worn by me... soon.

3. fall music!! ahhhhh new albums from ben folds, rachael yamagata, and jenny lewis already have my ear drums buzzin', but over the course of the next, oh.... eight weeks or so there are going to be so many amazing things coming out. ones that i am most excited for and have marked in my harry potter day planner are: copeland, ingrid michaelson (both 10/14), brett dennen (10/21), lovedrug and snow patrol (10/28), david archuleta (11/11), david cook (11/18), the killers (11/25), and britney spears (12/2). the one i am the most excited for, however, is kanye west's new cd, titled "808's and Heartbreak". the new single, "love lockdown", is one of my current obsessions and his new cd is going to be so so amazing. i have never really been a fan of his in the past, but i am now. this cd is going to be totally different for him and i cannot wait. the release date has been moved up to november, but no set date has been released.

4. lame teen movies... high school musical 3 and twilight. i know... suuuuuper lame. but i just can't abandon my 13 year old self, she's lonely enough already. i cannot forsake her.

5. my netflix queue. it is filled with old movies. every single movie is from the olden days of yore. there are a few 80's movies in there, but it's mostly 60's and 70's with scattered showers of the 50's. really, i am obsessed with the 60's right now... fashion, actors, movies, the whole burro. i have been watching old movies like bonnie and clyde, one flew over the cukoo's nest, shampoo, some like it hot... i am developing MAJOR crushes on these actors!! hello, warren beatty, paul newman, robert redford, jack nicholson... HOW were these men so good looking? and HOW did they all turn out to be so wrinkly? yipes!! (i know, gravity... blah blah) and the leading ladies of that era?! julie christie, goldie hawn, faye dunaway, even barabra streisand! so beautiful. i am going to start wearing fake eyelashes everyday so i can create that "mod" look. hardy har, we all know that won't happen in this lifetime.

6. STEFAN COMES HOME!! yes, it has been two years, and NO it has not been fast. i've missed him and it's been too long. he comes home december third and the following week we take our christmas disneyland trip, which really is number 7 of what i am excited for. they make it snow in the park! ive only seen snowfall like twice in my life. fake snow or not, snowflakes are snowflakes in my book.

8. fall movies. this is the time of year where oscar buzz is created and i'm already buzzing about movies I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN! i am specifically excited for these three movies in particular, so i've put the trailers up for you to watch. go ahead and watch them over and over. that's what i do.

revolutionary road.
directed by: sam mendes.
starring: leonardo di caprio, kate winslet.
composer: thomas newman.

*this trailer is the best trailer i have seen in a long time. the editor deserves an oscar for making this movie look so fantastical. good editing along with the song that is playing in the background PLUS the acting is amazing... job well done for everyone. gold stars and high fives all around.

changeling.

starring: angelina jolie, john malkovich.

composer: clint eastwood.



the curious case of benjamin button.

MY FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME.

the other day while browsing through barnes and noble (you know how dangerous that store is for me), i found a gem in the 50% off dvd bin. this movie was my favorite as a kid, it came out in 1993 amidst the turmoil of my third grade year. i have a few distinct memories that come from my old house on ingram street, but one of the more vivid ones includes me watching UNTAMED HEART in my front room with my grandparents and my mom and being SO EMBARASSED that i was crying that i got up, went to the bathroom, sat on the toilet (the lid was down, don't worry), and started bawling my head off. i cried so hard that i needed toilet paper (for my nose) and i just remember thinking OUTLOUD "WHY?!" it's probably been about ten years since i've seen this movie, i don't know how i ever went so long, heavens knows i'll never go that long again, but i watched it last night and i cried so terribly hard, just as hard as i did the first (second, third, fourth) time, the difference now is that i was in the privacy of my own room to bawl at will. i cried during the movie, even before the end because i knew what was coming. seeing the movie reminded me how much i used to be absolutely in LOVE with christian slater. i loved him SO MUCH, in fact that when my aunt marcia was pregnant and my uncle david asked me what names i like, i said "christian for a boy". that was also in 1993 (guess what? they named him christiaan, but i don't think it was for the same reason that i chose the name). i also can't believe how i remembered freaking every line in the movie. what's weird about that is i never actually OWNED the movie growing up, i just RENTED it so often that i knew all the lines (how's that for dedication? dedication or obsession, i'm not sure?) anyways, after watching it last night, i know for certain that it is my absolute favorite movie of all time. it's one of those movies that my aunt jennie would tell me that she won't watch just because it's so sad. but i don't care. sometimes i like to be sad and cry for reasons that have nothing to do with my life, so sue me.


i had intended to write a blog about my favorite things, but i can't right now. i'm too tired and i want to nap. i owe my brother lunch for cleaning the cat boxes for me (hehe bribe central... peter piper rules all) so i have to get that done. perhaps later tonight i will blog about my current obsessions... the hills NOT included, y'all.

my current obsession.

i tend to be pretty quiet about my obsessions. alright, that's a lie, i know that practically everyone knows-EVERYONE knows- that i am obsessed with the jonas brothers. really, there are some obsessions that i keep on the D.L. for example, my obsession with THE HILLS. i know that there is this whole theory about the show not actually being reality t.v. but real or fake, i don't care... i love it. who doesn't want to watch pretty people (sans heidi and spencer) dress in designer clothes and worry about "important" things like, who will be at le deux tonight? you know, i have enough real things to worry about in my own life (i.e. money, schedules, jobs, time, age difference...) so sue me if i like taking a break for a half hour every monday (ok fine... for a four hour marathon) to watch other people's lives (let me clarify... other beautiful people's lives). seriously i am so entertained by whitney the question-asker, and the ridiculousness that is known as justin bobby, and how fun it is to hate spencer and heidi. and how cute are lauren and brody?! why don't they just get together already? come on!! they make the best couple and he is totally in love with her, it is the cutest thing ever. if my world were perfect, johnny depp and winona ryder would still be together, justin and britney would have never broken up, and LC and brody would just get together already! i know this show is nonsensical and the fact that i watch it may give me some minus points in certain people's books. normally i would care about losing life points, but in this case i'm willing to take one for the team (besides i have like a brazillian points so what's losing a few?)

i have included (for my benefit more than yours) some of my favorite brody/lauren moments. or, as i call them, "BRO-REN" moments (don't laugh, you know you love it).

ah, broren in vegas for brody's bday. (don't be concerned, brody isn't wearing a glove, it's just like this post-cast business that he had to wear after lauren broke his finger.) cutest exchange between the two in the episode...
B: "where's my birthday present?"
L: "i already gave you a present!"
B: "ok, fine. where's my birthday kiss?"
L: "do you want a birthday kiss?"
(insert "give-me-a-frigging-break" look here)

funniest line goes to lauren when she whispers in brody's ear "i just saw Lo's 'Britney'!!"


this episode airs after the one in vegas. lauren goes out on a date with some poor shmuck who suuuuuuucks and she ends up at home early. brody calls her to see how the date went and of course she is all like "ummm... it was fine... no sparks" and then he's like "yeah... he didn't seem like your type... what are you gonna do now?"
L: "ummmm... probably just watch a movie or something, i don't know"
B: "not by yourself?"
L: "why not?"
B: "because i'm not gonna let someone i care about sit alone after a bad date and watch a movie by themselves. i'll come over."
L: "you wanna watch with me?"
B: "what movie are you gonna watch?"
L: "does it really matter?"
B: (laughs) "guess not."

ok, well i don't know what this is from but it is just so disgustingly cute i had to include it. do you see the way he is looking at her? come on! TRUE LOVE! this season is going to be so good, i am so lamely excited for it. what's going to happen?! aaaahhhh!! no one knows! i will leave you with the words of the ever-so-intellectual justin bobby: "truth and time.... tells all".

waiters and spiders.

shananagins in my life often come in the form of waiters. just ask anyone who has ever gone out to dinner with me. it is usually the worst with kenny and i, we seem to always get the weirdest of the weird. but last night was one for the books. samantha and i went to the cheesecake factory, and the rest, well... here it is.
i don't remember the poor guy's name, but it started off badly when he had to write down our drink order. sam was like "he isn't going to last a second at this table, he just had to write down our drink order for two waters". then he starts to tell us about the soup of the day for tuesday which is cream of mushroom. but he is giving this speech (the "tuesday cream of mushroom" speech) and he starts mumbling about how tuesdays are his favorite day b/c it's mushroom soup day or something? all i could really decipher was the word "tuesday" which he said about nine times in 23 seconds. he just started rapid firing the word "tuesday". bewildered, i was. his next favorite word was "navigate" which i could tell he thought he was so clever for using. example: "you two ladies need help navigating the menu?" or "can i assist you in some navigation of the menu", etc. at this point, sam and i are aware that our dinner experience is just going to be straight up nonsense. let me also inform you that the table behind us is discussing politics, the classic obama v. mccain duel. they are of course sorely misinformed on every topic and loud as all get out. the table in front of us is discussing filet mignon and their friend amanda, who thought filet mignon was fish! you can imagine how silly amanda is in person, can't you? there have been three birthday songs, and you know how those get me going on the worst rampage. amidst the circus, our waiter walks by with a piece of cheesecake and stops by our table and holds it in front of our faces. he crosses his legs, leans on the pillar and says "white chocolate raspberry cheesecake... our number two most requested cheesecake. just wanted to let you ladies see what you're missing so you can save room for dessert" and walks away. i wanted to die, really. are you kidding me? i couldn't even look at samantha during this fiasco. don't taunt me with another man's dessert!! when we're done eating, he packs sam's cheese pizza into a nice to-go box and then he comes back with it, and does the crossy-legs, lean-on-the pillar business and has the bag in one hand and he tries to pull out the menu and flip to the dessert page with his other hand, just one hand. so he is like, leaning and using his left hand to open this menu/book ordeal and his hand is totally twisted into this claw affair and i'm just thinking "just set down the bag!" then he gives us this speech "you know, here at cheesecake factory, we're famous, and rightly so, for one thing... and that's cheesecake" i cut him off here bc i really couldnt handle anymore at that point so i just tell him our order. we did not, much to his dismay, go with the second most requested cheesecake, we decide on the brownie sundae. i tell the wiater this and he's like "the brownie sundae cheesecake?" and i'm like "no, just the godiva brownie sundae" and he's like "the godiva brownie sundae cheesecake?" and i'm like "no, 'tis not a cheeesecake, my firend, just the regular dessert" (which he could not fathom by the way). so he brings us our dessert and sets it between the two of us and spins it all the way around- a complete 180 (or 360, i'm not really sure) just so we can get a good look at the brilliant craftsmanship of the sundae. then he proceeds to watch us take the first bite, like his face is like level with our table. i'm like "you're dismissed, thank you." then he does one of those "how is everything looking, you guys sure know how to pack away the desserts... har har har, sigh" i don't know who told waiters that it is flattering to girls to tell them how impressed they are with how much we can eat, but they were sorely misinformed. don't get me wrong, i like to impress the males, but not with my dessert eating skills.
i don't know if any of this comes across as funny or ridiculous as it was in person, but it was a straight up, classic waiter fiasco. oh, i also hope i didn't come across as rude or beastly, as i am neither. you just have to understand the situation and know that there was no way we could have taken him seriously.
the best part of the night was perhaps when samantha was attacked by a spider. it all started when we were outside her house and walking to my car and there was this huge spidey on her light pole and she was like "please come and observe the hugest spider you've ever seen" and i was like "you better kill that b/c once it is done with that pole, it is headed straight for your room and it's gonna lay eggs on your face". seriously it was a pregnant spider b/c she had like this huge bulb on her butt and i'm telling sam, that is where she holds the babies. sam decides to spare spidey's life but when i unlock my car door and my lights come on, they highlight this string of silver right in front of sams face and i am like... what the? so i'm about to tell her to step back just as she feels something on her and starts rubbing her face frantically and i am like "you just stepped into a string of spider web" and i am pretty sure that mistress spidey heard us plotting her demise, and being insanely unbalanced like she is, she shot a web out at us. i mean, clearly she knew what she was doing. i have to say, i would have done the same thing had i heard two girls plotting not only my death, but also the death of my loved ones (i.e. the baby eggs on her bulb). when i talked to sam today she said that she checked her entire body last night for spiders. is that like, instant karma for laughing at our waiter? i hope not. i don't really feel like spending my wednesday looking around for spiders droppin' eggs on me. that would really put a hitch in my giddyup.

my amazing thursday.

dear thursday,


holy crow, you were awesome today. usually i'm not a fan of you what with you being not friday and all, but you really came through this time. and now you've left me thinking, "friday who?" it all started at the first of you, thursday, in the morning when i went to cvs to get an evian, and i randomly found the rolling stone with the jonas brothers on the cover. thursday, you know i have been looking for that magazine, but due to the popularity of the jo bros, i have been unable to find a copy of it anywhere. so how excited was i when i found a random copy in a random isle at a drugstore?! good work, thursday, good work.

needless to say, i was one happy child to have the jonas brothers in my tiny little hands. you got a little crazy in the middle there, thursday. i mean, i had four hair appointments, all with little children who start school next week, and i had to take connor on a tour of mountain view's campus to map out a route for all of his classes. and come on, thurs (may i call you thurs?) it got a little hot in the middle of the day. and really, walking around my former high school campus in 110 degree weather is not exactly how i'd like to spend my afternoon "off". (can you blame me?) and then d.w. and i went to nordy's to find nichole's unborn twins a shower gift. and find them one, we did, thursday. the shirts i picked out were particularly good looking. i'm pretty excited about that. and remember that sale at the gap, thurs? where i found those adorable dresses for erika and noelle? i was feeling pretty good by then. little did i know that you had something even better for me. here's where it gets crazy, thursday. i am in the INFANT section of nordstrom's, you know, not because i am looking for an infant but because i am shopping for a gift for an infant (just wanted to clear that up, didn't want anyone to think i was an infant bargain hunter), and i see a set up of cds. most of them are kids' tunes i.e. sesame street, or baby lullabies, there is even a miley cyrus cd, which i thought was a bit tacky for the infant section, thursday. but then, out of the corner of my eyebills, i see... and you'll never beilieve this, thursday, because even i had to rub my eyes and do a double take, but i saw the new, yet-to-be-released JONAS BROTHERS C.D. ok, i know what you're thinking, b/c i thought the same thing, too. it must be a mistake. but guess what... it wasn't. nordstrom's actually MADE A MISTAKE and put their shipment of the cd, titled "A LITTLE BIT LONGER" out a week early! their bad, but my good, because i snagged one of them real speedy quick before anyone could realize the serious error on nordy's part. the crazy thing is, just that morning i had gone to the jonas brothers' web site to try and pre-order the cd, but i was unable to because i missed the cutoff by ONE DAY. you had to pre-order your cd by august 6th in order to get it by august 12th. here is the photo of the cd at nordy's... right next to elmo sings the blues or some madness like that.
thursday, i was so excited!!!! i really was feeling like i was stealing or something on account of the fact that this wasn't supposed to be out for another five days! i couldn't even believe that i found it, and in the infant section no less. how lucky could one girl be?! well... i went to the disney store on my way out of the mall and they had these posters there that they were giving out to promote the release of the jo bros cd. and i grabbed one, and look at what it said on the bottom. i took a picture of it especially because i thought it was so funny, thursday. and partly because i thought i was so clever, finding the cd early and all.
you see that, thursday?! right there at the bottom it says "IN STORES 8/12/08" and i, by some magical miracle, got mine early!! what a lucky lady i am!! i couldn't stop smiling, really. and it sounds silly, but this made me so super happy, happier than anything has made me in a while. while i was at the disney store, guess what? i begged and pleaded with d.w. to please please pre-order camp rock so that we could get the free school folders that came with it. and she did! finally!! and she also bought me a tap dancing wall-e to keep on my nightstand. she bought me the wall-e toy b/c she knows how much i love wall-e and she also knows how similar wall-e and i are, what with our love of musicals, and love of collecting things, and the way we both have binocular eyes. we are two of a kind, wall-e and i.
here is the final picture, thurs, and the best one of all... ME with my official early copy of the JONAS BROTHERS cd "A LITTLE BIT LONGER". and i love it, thursday, i really do.

i didn't include my face because i took that picture after i got home from target, where i got caught (quite literally) in a rain storm. so i was soaked clear through my dress. it was a mess, thursday. oh, and one more thing... remember how last night when i was laying in bed and almost almost asleep? well it was almost friday at that point because it was so late but you managed to throw one more surprise in there before you were over, and it was pretty great. it's something that sunday, monday, tuesday, AND wednesday weren't capable of doing. i got a text message from michael. that was a nice touch, thursday. well played. see you next week.

love, gabrielle.
