Spring Awakening

2009-03-17T17:13:00.002-04:00

I've always wondered what those random lines of Latin were, you know the ones that they sing in the background in the song, "All That's Known," off of the "Spring Awakening" soundtrack? (That's like 50,000 lame points for me)Anyway, I guess since I took a lot of Latin classes throughout my youth (and since I've retained like 30% of it...) I thought I would try to listen to the song, write down

I saw these guys on SNL and was impressed. I like.

This video is uber cute. But what is the relationship between these two characters? In other words, is it gay? I dunno. Not that anyone reads this, but if you do, what do you think?

Esteban's imaginary visit

2009-01-23T07:22:00.003-05:00

I just had a crazy dream and had to write about it. (I have crazy dreams all the time)...........The scene starts with me and John in our 'apartment.' Except it's not really our apartment, it's a different one. It looks slightly different, like the bizzaro world version. John's hanging out in the living room and I'm looking out the patio window.To my amazement, I briefly see a hot pink car,

So true

2009-01-08T15:13:00.001-05:00

John sent me this article, which is so absolutely true, I couldn't agree with it more. Check it out if you happened to see the fraudulence which was the People's Choice Awards last night. http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2009/01/the-peoples-cho.html?cid=144494436#comment-144494436

Parking Wars on A&E

2009-01-07T15:27:00.003-05:00

So there's this new show on A&E called "Parking Wars." Well, I guess it's not that new, but I just came across it, so it's new to me. Anyway, this one's pretty interesting. It's a 'real reality show' (no competitions involved, just real life encounters) that gives you many different perspectives, from the PPA (Philadelphia Parking um...Administration?) metermaid, to the clerk at the impoundment

Erica's Movie Reviews: Yes man

2009-01-02T13:25:00.003-05:00

Film: Yes ManStarring: Jim CarreyWhy is he a Jim and not a James? Anyway,B+/BErica's Thoughts:Funny, cute movie. Widely appealing. Feel good movie. Good balance of drama and comedy. Carrey is not too over the top in this one. Secretly metaphysical, yet entertaining. Rhys Darby, as "Norman," with his Michael Caine-esque looks, and Michael Scott-esque need to be a 'boss buddy', is subtlely

Erica's Movie Reviews: Slum Dog Millionaire

2009-01-02T13:08:00.006-05:00

Slum Dog Millionaire:Starring: Dev PatelA-/B+Erica's Thoughts:There was a interesting balance between misfortune and fortune in this story.Nice dance sequence during the ending credits. It was nothing special per se, but it was a nice homage to Ballywood style.The movie kept me interested the entire time. Appeals to men and women.Erica's Question:Where do the actors in the movie really come

Pictures speak a thousand words

2008-12-22T12:01:00.004-05:00

Here are some spectacular looking photos of various events around the world this year as seen on MSNBC.com Video Slideshow. What they did here was quite remarkable. Some of these photos are just insane. It makes me think, "So while this was happening...someone somehow took an amazing photo of it?" (Especially when I look at the catatrosphic disaster photos in the News section.) Anyway, here

"The Killers" still going strong

2008-11-11T10:13:00.003-05:00

I was just thinking this morning, as I was watching the new Killers video, that the Killers have continued on a lot longer than I thought. Their first album, which I have, was pretty good. The second one has that 'when you were young' song which is pretty good. their latest hit is actually pretty good and I really enjoy the music video. It has a really good dance beat (and also has a really

The following is meant for "What John Thinks."Anyway, this episode starts off sans that pseudo French-looking guy who didn't understand any of the challenges. You know the guy who was supposed to be eliminated weeks ago? Let's roll the tape (DVR) and hear Kenley's thoughts (..um i think that's her name).Kenley Collins, 25, in a nutshell: "I'm sad that Daniel is gone. He was my best friend and

2008-06-26T13:25:00.006-04:00

Yesterday, I discovered "The Flight of the Conchords" on FNMTV with their video 'All the ladies of the World'. Hilarious. It was like watching an SNL short appear on MTV as a legitimate music video. How transcendent.Apparently, these guys (Jermaine and Bret) have had a show on HBO and have toured Australia and the US as well as their homeland, New Zealand, as a parody folk duo (for a couple of

Giada's Parmesan Pop-overs Recipe

2008-02-19T14:01:00.003-05:00

I love, love, love Giada de Laurentis. I'm a HUGE fan. Anyway, today on her lovely show "Everyday Italian" (I also immensely LOVE all things Italian), she had this cute little recipe for "Parmesan Popovers." Looks easy enough to make (and I intend to try this one out).So, first you put this stuff into a blender:3 eggs3/4 cups of floursome Herbs de Provence (fancy)some fresh parsley (mmm love

Self Help Book Notes from Primerica List: Success is not an Accident

2008-02-12T07:15:00.000-05:00

So.... as a new Primerica Associate, I have to accomplish a certain set of things, one of them being reading at least 10 pages of self help books every night and every morning. Yesterday, I went to the Oviedo Library (yes, we have a library) to re-establish my library card (it was so old, it had my dad's co-signature on it, which is required when the card is issued out to a minor). While I was

A movie worth watching

2008-01-16T13:23:00.001-05:00

I didn't think the movie Once would be anything special until I saw this scene.Here, Guy teaches Girl one of his songs. If you've ever had a really good jam session with someone (If in the non-musical world, if you've ever just really naturally clicked with someone on any level), you'll know how amazing it feels to be in harmony, in tune, communicating in the same language, connecting,

Going Full Circle: 24 Hours to NYC

2007-12-27T16:26:00.000-05:00

*On the last episode of John and Erica's Adventures, John and Erica (myself) took a mini-vacation to NY. (It was exhausting...but fun!) For me, it was not only a vacation but a therapeutic trip down memory lane as well as a symbolic journey. I lived in NY until we moved away when I was twelve to Oviedo, FL (Orlando suburb). It was a huge culture shock and I really hated Florida for quite
