If You Reach For The Stars...

So I went over to Chelsey's house last night. Well, it was really afternoon/evening. I got there around 4:45. She has two kids, Rhiannon and James, and they're so freaking fun I can't even stand it. James was a little worried at first because he doesn't really know me very well. Chelsey said she thought me might have been thinking that I was a babysitter and that would mean she was leaving. Once he realized everyone was staying, he came around.

They were both fun to play with. Rhiannon kept calling me into the bedroom to watch Finding Nemo with her. I got to play with them in their room, and it was super fun. We got pizza for dinner, and as soon as her husband, Jay, left, Chelsey and I put Roseanne on. We watched that for a while. Then at 7, they put James to bed and around 7:30 Rhiannon went to sleep.

We watched Survivor at 8. I'm not really getting terribly into this season. Don't get me wrong, I love the show still, but there's nobody I'm really rooting for. Maybe as it progresses I'll find someone.

At 9, it was time for me to leave. When I got home, I was really tired from driving so much. It's not a long drive, but when you're not used to driving so much it tires you out.

I watched the first episode of ANTM last night too. So I'm only one behind on that. I don't really have any favorites on that show yet either, but we haven't seen any photo shoots yet.

I went to lunch with mom today. Bob's Fried Clams opened back up. It was really good. Lots of people, not many seats, but good food.

Not much else to say. Doing laundry and packing up tomorrow. Heading back to JSC on Sunday. Talk to ya tomorrow!

UPDATE!!!


Before I forget and it's too late:
Top 10 Guys:
Michael Johns - Go Your Own Way. Kind of shaky beginning. Pitch problems. Flat. Not so great.
Jason Castro - I Just Want to Be Your Everything. Guitar = good idea. Nice voice, a couple pitch problems here and there. Overall quite nice.
Luke Menard - Killer Queen. I always forget him. Too high for his range. Not very good. Got better toward the end.
Robbie Carrico - Hot Blooded. Better last week. Not amazing. Didn't bring it. Should still be here next week. (I was wrong.)
Danny Noriega - Superstar. Song is too low for him. A little breathy in places. Got better in the middle.
David Hernandez - Papa Was A Rolling Stone. Kinda sketchy vocally. Didn't bring it. Could have done a lot more. Good ending.
Jason Yeager - Long Train Running. Something weird at first during the verse. The refrain got better. Not amazing.
Chikeze - I Believe to My Soul. Good this week. Nice voice, not many pitch things.
David Cook - All Right Now. Curious... I don't know if rocker voice is suiting him. Not 100% terrible, but not great either. He's a good guitarist.
David Archuleta - Imagine. Such an amazing voice. He has to win. I love his interpretation. Very strong, but also mellow.

One Day More

Iliya comes home TOMORROW!! I can't tell you how excited I am. It's going to be such a good night I think, if everything goes well. This has honestly been the longest five days of my life.

I woke up at 11:00 today because I had to take my grandfather out shopping. I felt like crap. My body ached. My head ached. My stomach ached. It was bad news bears. I tried to at least eat a banana before taking him out, but I couldn't even eat a whole one.

It wasn't awful. He didn't do a whole lot of shopping, and he was in and out of Walgreen's and the bank. I talked to Iliya while Pa was in the bank, and he was all worried about Julian and Nico yelling at him for telling Julian's mother that Julian and Nico smoke. I felt bad. I just want him back so I can hug him forever.

When I got home, I ate a bagel and had some orange juice and cranberry juice. Then I went upstairs and got into bed. I started watching Top Model, but it didn't last long. After like 10 minutes, I gave up and turned off the TV and went to sleep.

I had this crazy dream about Sweeney Todd (amazing movie, go see it). It was really strange.

I wasn't impressed with dinner tonight. My mom made this roast pork meal in a crock pot, but I didn't like the potatoes or peas, so I pretty much just had some pork for dinner. I went upstairs and watched more Top Model. Can I just tell you how much I absolutely LOVE the week-long marathon of it on VH1? It's amazing. It's always on.

So I think I'll just go watch some more of it now. I don't know. We'll see. Can't wait to see my Iliya tomorrow!!!

Totally Apologize

Holy crap. I am SO sorry. I can't believe it's been so long since an update, but I guess sometimes you just get caught up in life.

Well, it's been a pretty boring couple of days anyway. I don't have to wake up for observations tomorrow. That's nice. It puts me behind a little, but oh well. It can't be helped.

I'm going out tonight. It'll be fun. I hope.

Quentin's coming over tomorrow night to watch Patch Adams. Amazing movie.

Tonight, I promise to watch Top Model and get caught up. If I have time, I'll watch Real World too. We'll see how I feel.

Well, I'm off. Till next time.

Good Morning Baltimore

Title of this entry is irrelevant.

I forgot to update yesterday! Sorry!

I did my first observation with Mrs. Bowler yesterday. The kids are strange. I thought I wouldn't know many of them because they're so much younger, but I do. Oh, well. It's still fun. She introduces me as Mr. Mulcahy. I'm not that old. Ew.

Aunt Sandy and Ashley left yesterday as well. It was sad to see them go. Aunt Sandy said she won't rat out Ashley and me to my parents. She's a cool aunt.

Did my second observation today. The kids seemed less rambunctious today. Except for her sixth grade chorus, which is currently mandatory. That's going to change soon.

Went to Boston tonight. I was supposed to meet up with Kathleen and David Landy, but he couldn't make it so it was just Kathleen and me. We had fun. Went to the Cambridge Side Galleria. Big ol' mall.

Got home and watched ANTM. That bitch Bianca wouldn't stop complaining about her haircut. It looked so much better, but she just bitched the whole time. Lame.

OK, well that's all.

Good night.

Real Update

So my hair... is red. Ish. I like it.

Traveling yesterday sucked. I hate buses. Oh, well.

I'm home. Ashley and Aunt Sandy are visiting. That's fun.

We went over to Nana and Pa's today. Good times. Ashley cut Nana's hair. I'll put some pictures below. Then Ashley dyed my hair. It came out decent if I do say so myself. I would post pictures of that, but you can't really tell in pictures. It's kind of subtle.

Finally caught ANTM tonight. Bianca is a freakin' bitch. I hate her, yet I want her to stay because I like watching her. I really like Jenah and Janet and Saliesha.

Oh, and I suppose I'll post a Video of the Week:



I promise a Talky Blog with Ashley tomorrow. Maybe tonight if we get bored.

Laters.

UPDATE:
FORGOT THE PICTURES!!

Ashley cutting Nana's hair. (This is a before picture)

Pa, Aunt Sandy, Ashley and Nana. I love that he's not paying attention.

Me, Pa, Ashley and Nana.

Ashley and Nana.

Ashley washing the dye out of my hair.

This is the after picture.

Aunt Sandy and Nana.

OK, that's all. Bye for real.

Untitled

I can't think of a title for this entry.

Yesterday's classes were not good. Nobody had their essays for theory, and we all sucked at playing our scales. Not good.

My psych class was canceled today, which normally would make me happy, but I walked all the way down the hill before I found out.

Last night was awesome. I went over to Dana and Chelsie's to watch America's Next Top Model. I don't have favorites yet. Except this one girl Sarah who is from Heath, MA. That's where Kate is from!!! I was excited. There are at least 2 girls from Mass who made the top 13. Maybe 3. I forget.

I got class soon. I don't want to go. I have to pee now.

See ya tomorrow.
