Friday Four

What I Watched: Veronica Mars finished up its run on SOAP net this week. I really wish that show had lasted longer. But it was fun watching Kristen Bell on Heroes (although I hated her character!).
Anyway, I watched a bunch of movies this week, since most of our shows have ended. The two best ones were Inglorious Basterds and The Lincoln Lawyer. I'd never seen a Quentin Tarantino film, and I'm glad I saw this one (IB) on TV, as it spared me a lot of the language and probably some of the gore. TLL was good too, although I got confused at times, as Josh Lucas plays the DA in this movie (but is a laywer in the tv series The Firm). I would recommend them both!

What I Listened to: I was lucky enough to get the new Jon Mclaughlin CD for my birthday. If you haven't heard him before, you are really missing out! I think he has one of the most gorgeous voices in music. This album is more like his first one, in the style and tempo, which is a slight disappointment, as I really enjoyed his second, more upbeat album. He has a duet with Sara Barielles, which I previously wrote about here, as well as Xenia, who was on the first season of The Voice.

 

What I Read: I fnished up The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold this week. Haven't yet decided what to read next.

Where I Ate: I think the only time we ate out this week was Moe's after church. Oh, and we had McDonald's last Friday night... don't judge ;-)

Friday Four

What I Watched (TV): I have to admit, I really enjoyed Glee's Michael Jackson tribute episode this week.     The "Scream" recreation was pretty amazing!

What I Read: I finally finished Bossypants!
                        Haven't quite decided which of my stack of eight I will start next :-P


What I Listened to: There are two duets I'm really digging right now:
                                  Jon McLaughlin & Sara Bareilles "Summer is Over"
                                  James Morrison & Jessie J "Up"


What I Watched (movies): I rewatched 500 Days of Summer on tv this week. It wasn't quite as good as I remembered, but Zooey and JGL are just too cute together!!

And if you don't believe me, watch this video!!
