So, obviously, things are now better.

Life has picked back up to normal.  Things are going well now and I'm choosing not to dwell on the past few weeks, just move on.

A few things that I've been thinking about/looking forward to:

TV! I still love it!  Even if it is the crappy summer season!
- SYTYCD:  I never used to care about dance at all until I started watching this show a few years ago.  Now I love it.  I don't have the remotest bit of talent for it, but it's quite beautiful to watch.  This season has been AWESOME to have the all-stars back.  I love Mark and Twitch, always have.  But anytime they dance with someone, I can't help but watch them. And I'm loving Anya and Pasha, too, but they were before my SYTYCD-time.  Oh and Neil and Dominic, too.  But mainly Mark and Twitch.  And Kathryn, because I think she and Legacy are SO CUTE.  Did you see how he was crying after her performance with Billy?  I don't think he was crying for Billy...  As far as current dancers, I'm really sad Alex is gone.  There is no question he would've won it.  He was amazing, versatile, and was starting to develop that connection with the audience.  Did anyone else think it was weird how much Kent freaked out over him leaving and how Alex called out Kent alone by name?  Also, Ashley is growing on me.  I downloaded the song from her dance because it was so beautiful.  I think her dance was the best one from last week.  I also liked Kent and Lauren's pair dance, it was sweet.

- The LXD: Also dance related, this one is going to be epic!  It just came out with the first two episodes last week on Hulu.com and it's amazing.  There are about 10 episodes this season, they are releasing one a week for the rest of the summer.  They've already got season 2 filmed and are working on season 3.  The show is about superheroes who use dance kinda like Jedi's use the force.  The first season just gives glimpses of each main character's background story, and it has more you can explore about each character online.  Season 2 is going to introduce the story/showdown with the bad guys.  The cinematography, the settings, the scene-framing, the music, everything is AMAZING.  I love this show so much, plus it's got unbelievable dancers and so much potential!  I can't wait for season 2!  They are apparently using different themes for each episode, like western, film noir, etc.

- This week White Collar and my favorite show ever, PSYCH!, come back.  Also, a new show on USA I'm really excited about premieres, called Covert Affairs.  If you want a light, easy-to-process, sexy, suspense show, watch White Collar.  If you want variety, drama, pop-culture references, and SO MUCH HUMOR, watch Psych.  I'll let you know what I think of Covert Affairs, but it's produced by the Bourne people, so I have high hopes!

Movies!
- I can't remember what I've seen since I last posted.  The only new thing I can remember is Knight and Day. It was cute enough.  The chemistry between Cruise and Diaz wasn't believable at all.  I didn't want to punch Diaz in the face though, and I usually do when watching her movies.  It was a cute enough movie with only some stupid points.
- OH, TWILIGHT.  I kinda forgot about it.  How bad a fan am I?  I'm kinda getting over my vampire-love phase.  I was never really into vampires in the first place.  Now that Eclipse is out, which is my favorite, I've almost lost all interest.  I've only seen Eclipse once, and the other two I saw multiple times in theaters...  It's starting to lose its magic.  I think it's also because I am so ANTI-JACOB and that whole story-line, that any promotion of his character or inclusion of him in the plot makes me angry.  I don't even want to think about the imprinting thing in the next book.  That's going to be uber-creepy.
- I still need to see The Karate Kid, The Last Airbender, and I can't wait for Inception!

Family Weekend, Yay!
- My whole family is getting together this weekend and I have Saturday off to join them!
- I'm fairly certain our whole weekend will be hanging around the house playing with Charlie and talking horribly about that bitch.  She has it coming.

Grad School
- So I found the perfect school and department and program!  Yay!  But it costs $39,000 alone in tuition every year! NOOOOOOOOOOO! Damnit, why does this happen!
- The program is and MA in Heritage Management from the Archaeology Department at Boston University.  It looks amazing.  I hope there's some way it can work out.  I'll probably be emailing the chair of the department to get some more information this week.
- GRE will be coming up soon.  I haven't set a date to take it yet, but likely in a couple of months.

New Phone!
- Less than a month until we are eligible for upgrades at Sprint.  I can not wait.  I think I'm going to rip my current phone in two when I get my new one.
- As for a new phone, I REALLY REALLY want an HTC Evo 4G.  I don't really care if the battery life isn't that great, the rest of the phone is awesome!

Ok, that's all I can really think of right now.
