Come Sail Away

I look to the sea, reflections in the waves spark my memory

Some happy, some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We live happily forever, so the story goes
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
But well try best that we can to carry on

Ed is back

I had a hard time controlling myself while watching the bachelorette last night. First off, since when did we start visiting everyones family?? It used to be just the final two, then three, now Jillian is visiting five guys families?? That's just dumb.

Second, I love Michael. Ok, he's a little ADD every now and then...ok all the time, but he's adorable and was really falling for Jillian. I think that Michael would make a good next Bachelor.

I really have no feelings for Jesse at all. Except that I think his brother is funny and he handled himself really well when she gave him the boot.


Now for Wes. I can't even look at him without triggering my gag reflex. What a scumbag. I'm glad Jake came back to squeal on him. But I'm not happy about him pulling a Jason in the hotel hallway. All I can say is that if he is one of the final two then I don't think I can watch the finale....

Psych!

I still like Kipton but was turned off by his swanky family and the whole snobby test they made Jillian take. He is my number two.

And finally, I think I screamed when I saw Ed walk through the door. He's my fav and I actually think he's too good for Jillian. And why did she make him sweat it out through the rose cerimony? If I were here I would have jumped him right there.

All in all a very gripping episode. I don't know where I'm going to get my drama fix from when it's over.

P.S. If I hear Wes's "It Aint Easy" song one more time, it's over.

Happy Birthday Shelley!

Today is my Aunt Shelley's birthday and I told my Grams that I would make the birthday cake for her party tonight. I have been looking at this Tiramisu Layer Cake for months just waiting for the opportunity to make it for someone. I'm a little nervous about how it will turn out because I used a different frosting and made a few minor changes, so I'm crossing my fingers. Oh well, if it turns out horrible at least it looked pretty right?

My cousin has also asked me to make a cake for his mom's birthday in August. I'm thinking about trying this...or maybe this.

Look back in Topanga

My obsession with all things motorcycle provoked me to post this lovely picture of Angela Linvall featured in the July 2009 issue of British Vogue.


She was also photographed with her two sons Dakota and Sebastian. How cute are they?
I like that her hippie style shows on her kids :)

Two legends

A fashion icon, tv legend, and angel...
RIP Ferrah

Whether you agreed with the way he lived his life or not, there's no denying that MJ was a musical legend. He created the moon walk and had people all over the world memorizing his songs and choreography. He will be missed.

Chase Crawford

So my sister just informed me of my lack of celebrity gossip knowledge when I confused Chase Crawford (Gossip Girl) with Zac Efron (High School Musical) who is far less attractive. I apologize. Maybe I should frequent Perez Hilton daily, as this is what my well informed older sister does

Chris Pine

I am not a fan of Star Trek or any movie that takes place in space for that matter, but he is nice to look at

Shia Labeouf

Always a fan

Adam Lambert

Seriously? And I thought we were off to a good start


Ryan Eggold & Kellan Lutz

Yes and No



Dwayne Johnson

Don't hate me
But I've always loved him


Brody Jenner

Sorry but I don't even know who you are
And you don't look that great to me



Common

When I get my own place I would really love to have a gallery wall. Should I start collecting different frame now?

Good Guys

I didn't have the opportunity to watch the bachelorette Monday night because I was busy serving 35 cent wings to the loyal patron of the 224 Varsity Club, so I watched it first thing Tuesday morning. My heart hurt for Jake as he was cut loose. He really is a genuinely nice guy. He said that he's always been stuck in the good guy category and that girls have always used the excuse that he was "too perfect". Watching Jillian break his heart made me think back to one of the "too perfect" guys that I dated a few years back. I could see Jake's face mirrored in my own former boyfriend as Jillian cut him loose. Although it seems cruel to get rid of Jake, I know how Jillian feels. Even though you know how perfect someone seems on paper....something just isn't right.

What do you thing? Do good guys always finish last?
