Books I read this summer (2008)

(1) You've Been Warned by James Patterson -
Another new favorite! I loved the fact that the main character was a photographer; it made it really interesting to read! The storyline was kind of weird at parts but that's what I loved about it; it threw you for a loop sometimes and I loved the twists in it. Great book! You can get a summary here: You've Been Warned at Amazon.com

(2) 1st to Die by James Patterson -
I got so into this book; it was really good! The ending was great and the storyline had so many twists and turns! I'm still a little mad at the end (it was so sad!) but the book was great! You can get a summary here: 1st to Die at Amazon.com

(3) 2nd Chance by James Patterson -
I finished the second book of the Women's Murder Club series and it was another good one! The storyline was there, along with twists and turns. The books keep you guessing and I love that! You can get a summary here: 2nd Chance at Amazon.com

(4) 3rd Degree by James Patterson -
The book started off a little slow for me but it definitely picked up! I don't want to give anything away but I was surprised and sad something happened. It was an interesting twist for the series though...still a pretty good book! You can get a summary here: 3rd Degree at Amazon.com

(5) 4th of July by James Patterson -
Another great book in the series! I liked this book because it dealt with two different crimes and it was interesting to read about and see how Lindsay dealt with them. The book had some twists and turns which made it even more interesting! You can get a summary here: 4th of July at Amazon.com

Another good book! James Patterson does not let me down! The storyline was interesting and kept me guessing! You can get a summary here: The 5th Horseman at Amazon.com

(9) A Stolen Season by Steve Hamilton
I was really excited to hear Steve Hamilton had another book in the Alex McKnight series! I hadn't read one of his books in a while so I kind of forgot a few things but I'm glad I read this one!

Along Came a Spider was really good! The storyline was interesting and there were definitely some twists! You can get a summary here: Along Came a Spider at Amazon.com

(11) Kiss the Girls by James Patterson -
What can I say? Another good book! I'm definitely liking the Alex Cross series so far and this second book kept up the twists and turns, just as the first one did. I liked this book a lot because it kept you guessing the whole time! Just when you think you're right about something, there's a twist! James Patterson has done it again! You can get a summary here: Kiss the Girls at Amazon.com

(12) Jack and Jill by James Patterson -
This was a nice way to end my summer reading. Jack and Jill ended up being pretty good! It started off a little slow and sometimes I felt there were too many storylines and too many "characters" so it was a little confusing, but overall, I liked it! The ending was definitely interesting with a couple twists too. You can get a summary here: Jack and Jill at Amazon.com

David Cook wins American Idol!

I can't be disappointed that David Cook won! I loved both Davids and they both are going to sell a ton of records!! I wanted David Archuleta to win but I'm still happy David Cook won! Congrats to them both! =)

Kristi and Mark won!!!!!!

Kristi and Mark won on Dancing with the Stars tonight!!! I've loved her (and well Mark haha) since the beginning...she totally deserved it!!!!! wooooooo!!!!!!!!

Monday night TV.

Holy moly! Tonight was the Dancing with the Stars finale (with the results tomorrow) and the One Tree Hill finale...both were amazing!

Dancing with the Stars -

I loved how all three competitors had to dance the cha-cha to the same song! I thought that was really cool how Cristian started, Jason kept it going in the middle, and Kristi finished it off. I have to give props to my girl Kristi though (okay I love her partner Mark too hehe), she rocked the end of the cha-cha! As the judges said, I felt bad that Jason had to do a latin dance since we all know those aren't where he shines. Now onto the freestyles...I LOVED Kristi and Mark's freestyle...LOVED IT!!!!! Kristi did an amazing job this season and I hope she wins!! I also liked Jason and Edyta's freestyle though I thought the song was a little song. However, my favorie part of their freestyle came at the end when Edyta ripped off Jason's shirt. All I have to say is it's about damn time!! So Cristian, it kind of stinks he couldn't do "real" lifts and that hurt him. He did pretty good though for only really using one arm. Kristi won the night with a 60/60...I hope she wins tomorrow!!!!

One Tree Hill -

Umm...HOLY CRAP! First off, Jamie is too cute! I loved his little mohawk! Anyways, Lucas and Peyton serious need to be together! I thought that was really cute when she told him her dream was for him to propose again! Come on Luke, get with it! Aww, Brooke is sooo cute with Angie and I felt bad that she had to give her back so soon. Gotta love Nathan and Jamie "conquering" their fears. Omg, the ending!? Are you kidding me!? I can't believe Dan got hit by a car!!!! He better not die...seriously...I like his character! And how mean was it to leave the audience wondering who Lucas called!?!? I hope he called Peyton but he could have called Lindsey (and hey, maybe he even called Brooke). Ahh sooo mean! It was a great season finale and I can't wait for season 6!

No Rest for the Wicked - my review

OMG!!!! That season finale kicked major @$$!! I still can't believe it!! Sam and Dean are the cutest brothers ever! They care so much about each other and I love the fact that Dean still makes jokes even when the situation is tough. I loved the scene where they were singing Bon Jovi in the car! I couldn't stop laughing haha but it was such a cute brother moment!! Sam was so determined to save Dean and I'm kind of glad he brought Rudy back. Even though she lies, she sort of helped? Well not really since she got possessed by Lilith...who I HATE!! Ahhhh Lilith!!! I want her dead!! Omg and Sam!? He's stronger than Lilith!! holy crap!!! Ahhh the ending was soooo sad!!!! Dean "died"...Sam crying...ahhh the emotions!!! holy crap this episode rocked!! I loved it!!! I can't believe they left it by showing Dean in "hell" (or whatever he was!!)!!! ahhh soooo mean!!! but still...amazing!! I can't wait for Season 4!!!

My favorite quotes from No Rest for the Wicked -

Dean: We've got the knife.
Bobby: And you intend to use it without me. Do I look like a ditchable prom date to you?

[Dean finally sees the Demon inside Ruby]
Dean: Oh.
Ruby: What?
Dean: Nothing. I just couldn't see you before, but you are one ugly broad.

Bobby: Well, you got just over five hours to go. You're piercing the veil, Dean, glimpsing the "b" side.
Dean: Little less New Agey, please.
Bobby: You're almost hell's bitch, so you can see hell's other bitches.
Dean: Thank you.

Dean: All I'm saying...Sammy, all I'm saying is that you're my weak spot. You are. And I'm yours.
Sam: You don't mean that. We're...we're family.
Dean: I know. And those evil sons of b-- know it, too. I mean, what we do for each other, how far we'll go, they're using it against us.
Sam: So what? We just stop looking out for each other?
Dean: No, we stop being martyrs, man. We stop spreading it for these demons. We go after Lilith our way--the way dad taught us to. And if we go down, then we go down swinging. [pause] What do you think?
Sam: I think you totally should have been jamming "Eye of the Tiger" right there.
Dean: Oh, bite me. I totally rehearsed that speech, too.

Sam: You know if this doesn't go the way we want, I want you to know that...
Dean: Nooo, no, no, no, no, no.
Sam: No what?
Dean: You're not gonna bust out the misty goodbye speech, Okay? I mean, if this is my last day on Earth, I do not want it to be socially awkward.

Dean: Hey, why don't we just make a TJ-run, you know? Some señoritas, cervesas, we could.. what's Spanish for donkey-show?
Sam: So, if we do save you, let's never do that.
Dean: Yeah.

Both Davids in the finale!

Woooo!!!!! Both David Archuleta and David Cook are gonna battle it out in the American Idol finale next week!! it's gonna be a good finale!!! I can't wait!! =)

Gotta love commericals...

They say a man should always dress for the job he wants.
So why am I dressed up like a pirate in this restaurant?
It's all because some hacker stole my identity.
Now I'm in here every evenin' servin' chowder and iced tea.
Should've gone to FreeCreditReport.com
I could've seen this comin' at me like an atom bomb.
They monitor your credit and send you email alerts,
So you don't end sellin' fish to tourists in t-shirts.

AND

Well I'm shopping for a new car, which one's me?
A cool convertible or an SUV?
Too bad I didn't know my credit was whacked,
So I driving off the lot in a used sub-compact.
F-R-E-E, that spells "free", credit report dot com baby.
Saw their ads on my TV.
Thought about goin' but was too lazy.
Now instead of lookin' fly I'm looking fat,
My legs are sticking to the vinyl and my posse's getting laughed at.
F-R-E-E, that spells "free", credit report dot com baby....



gotta love those commericals haha ;)

Time Is On My Side - my review

Holy moly! There are no other words right now..."holy moly"says it all! Time Is On My Side was such a good episode! It had everything...it was creepy/scary, funny, exciting, and kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time!!! First off, that Doc guy was soooo creepy! Eww and when he went to take Sam's eye out, that was pretty gross (good thing Dean came! haha). I was glad to see Bela back! Wow, I can't believe she made a deal with the crossroads demon! I'm sad her time was up and she was gonna die. I would have liked to see her on the show every once in a while. It was a pretty good way for her to leave the show though! Oh man, and Dean! He's so determined to save himself...I feel so bad! The finale next week looks soooo good!!


Favorite quotes from Time Is On My Side -

Sam: Remember that thing in the paper yesterday?
Dean: "Stripper suffocates dude with thighs"?

Sam: I talked to Mr. Beetle's doctor. Turns out his incisions were sewn up with silk.
Dean: That's weird?
Sam: Yeah, nowadays it is, but silk used to be the suture of choice back in the early 19th-century. It was really problematic. Patients would get massive infections, the death rate was insane.
Dean: Good times.
Sam: Right. So, doctors, they had to do whatever they could to keep the infections from spreading. One way was maggots.
Dean: Dude, I'm eating.
Sam: It actually kind of worked because maggots, they eat the bad tissue and they leave good tissue. And get this. When they found our guy, his body cavity was stuffed full of maggots.
Dean: Dude, I'm eating!

Doctor: Didn't you read my report?
Dean: Of course we did. Oh, it was riveting, a real page-turner. Just delightful.
Doctor: You done?
Dean: I think so.
Doctor: Please, go away.
Dean: Okay.
Sam: Sure.

Doctor: Can I see your badges?
Sam: Of course. Sure. [both show badges]
Doctor: Fine. So, you're cops and morons.
Dean: Excuse me? [stammering] No, no. We're, we're very smart.

Demon: I'm telling the truth!
Dean: Oh, you are? Then let me make it up to you. [douses him in holy water] Now I'm gonna ask you one more time: Who holds my contract?!
Demon: Your mother. Yeah, she showed it to me, right before I bent her over.

Sam: According to this, Benton's picky about where he sets up his lab. He likes a dense forest, with access to a river or stream, or some kind of fresh water.
Dean: Why?
Sam: Because that's where he likes to dump the bile, the intestines, and the fecal matter. Lost your appetite yet?
[Dean stops chewing and looks at burger]
Dean: Oh baby, I can't stay mad at you [resume eating]

Rufus: There are things that you don't know about her.
Dean: Oh and you do? Right, because you know things.
Rufus: Yep.
Dean: And let me guess, you lift her fingerprint?
Rufus: Yep.
Dean: And that got you jack.
Rufus: Yep. She burned them off. Probably years ago.
Dean: Yeah, so you're right where we are.
Rufus: Nope. You do her ear?
Dean: Sorry?
Rufus: You do her ear?
Dean: Hey man I'll try anything once, but I don't know, that sounds uncomfortable.

Long Distance Call - my review

Great episode of Supernatural tonight! I loved the storyline: Sam and Dean search for a Crocotta that uses the phone and computer as a means to communicate with people. Dean gets some news from an unlikely source about a demon holding the contract to his soul, while Sam is skeptical about who called. --I felt really bad for Dean because John called and told him he could get out of the deal but it was really the Crocotta. Dean is NOT going to die...I won't let him! haha The episode was pretty funny too!


Favorite quotes from Long Distance Call -

Sam: So you two were talking a case?
Dean: No we were uh, we were actually talking about our feelings. And then our favorite boy bands. Yeah, we were talking a case.

Sam: I mean, Dad? You really think it was Dad?
Dean: I don't know. Maybe.
Sam: Well, what did he sound like?
Dean: Like Oprah. It was Dad, he sounded like Dad, what do you think?

Sam: Dean, it's not Dad.
Dean: Then what is it?
Sam: A crocotta.
Dean: Is that a sandwich?

Dean: And the only one person who can get me out of this thing is me.
Sam: And me.
Dean: "And me"? What, deep revelation, having a deep moment here. That's what you come back with? "And me"?
Sam: Do you want a poem?
Dean: Moment's gone.

Dean: Is that uh, BustyAsianBeauties.com?
Stewie: No...maybe.
Dean: Word to the wise. Platinum membership--worth every penny.

Ghostfacers - my review

Okay, I was really excited for Supernatural to come back since it's been on hiatus for a month - well...Ghostfacers was an interesting episode. I'd give it an 8 out of 10. The episode was hilarious and I was glad to see Ed and Harry back. I didn't like, however, the whole Blair Witch Project thing they did with the episode. The camera was annoying to watch at some parts and it was hard to see what was going on when it was shaking so much. The humor was there though and that's why I liked it as much as I did...the concept was pretty good too I guess...not a typical Supernatural episode but still good nonetheless.

Favorite quotes from Ghostfacters -

Harry: Ed, you got to go be gay for that poor dead intern!

Ed: Here we were, thinking we were teaching you, and all this time you were teaching us... about heart, about dedication, and… about how gay love can pierce through the veil of death and save the day.

Dean: Hey, Ed, listen to me. There's some salt in my duffel. Make a circle and get inside.
Ed: Inside your duffel bag?
Dean: Inside the salt, you idiot!

Dean: Listen, you and Rambo need to get the hell outta here.
Ed: [laughs] Listen here, Chisel Chest, okay, we were here first.

Harry: You know, Corbett, we just, oh gosh, we just like to think that you're out there watching over us.
Ed: As far as we're concerned you're not an intern anymore. You have more than earned full Ghostfacer status. Plus it would be cool to have a ghost on the team.

Maggie: Ed has been obsessed with the supernatural since we were kids. Then, he meets Harry at computer camp and it's love at first geek.

Boo! Ozzy got voted off :(

Ozzy got voted off on Survivor last night! He was my favorite player! I wish he used the hidden immunity idol!...I also wish he didn't give up so easily in the immunity challenge, just for 3 stupid donuts!

HOLY CRAP!!!!!

Both Jensen and Jared answered one of my questions on the CW Connect!!!!!!!!
(my question for Jared is answered at the end of Part 1, and my question for Jensen is pretty much right smack in the middle)

Jared Part 1


Jared Part 2


Yanks4Life23519: What monster would you like to see on the show that we haven’t seen yet?

Jared: That’s a good question. Okay, Yanks4Life, there’s a really exact answer to this question. When I grew up, my dad let me watch some Movie of the Week or something called Shadow Man. It was about a guy who’s a shadow, but he commits himself to one person, and once he decides to change who he’s going to become a Shadow Man for, he then kills the person he used to be a shadow for. It’s really creepy and really scary, and I’d like to see Shadow Man. I think his name might not be Shadow Man, but that’s what I think.


Jensen Part 1&2


Yanks4Life23519: Do you enjoy shooting funny episodes or scary episodes more?

Jensen: The funny episodes are obviously, you know, those are always fun to shoot. I have a good time with those. But generally, on this show, being funny for Dean requires me to either eat a lot of food, or do some physical comedy. Which, you know, I get banged up, so I do pay the price for it. And then the scary episodes, those are fun too. Those are, I think that’s what we do, those are our bread and butter. I’d say the hardest shows are the emotional shows. Being physical in a role and doing stunts and things like that, that will beat you up physically. Might have some cuts and bumps and bruises and stuff. But when you dive into emotional scenes, it really takes a toll on you emotionally and that’s – at the end of the day you’re just drained, and so tired.

Steve got voted off :(

Steve Guttenberg got voted off tonight on Dancing with the Stars :(
