River Trip correction

Ok I am not infallible. I am very prone to making mistakes. Mom and I will be traveling down the Kennebec River on our trip, not the Dead River. I could only find serene, official pictures so I chose this picture from someone else's rafting experience. Hopefully we don't look like the picture I posted. There is a boat somewhere in the frame, I promise. :) Wish us luck!!!!

I couldn't look away!

I avoid MTV. I think it is generally a waste of time. However, I did catch the Steve-O story a couple of days ago and it was real. He filmed his drug abuse and even the beginning of his intervention. It is dark but it is honest. It is amazing how many people knew about his habits. The cops even didn't arrest him.

Anyway- I don't normally champion this type of programming but I thought Steve-O was extremely sincere on Dancing With The Stars and now I know what he "bounced back" from. The dude shouldn't be alive.

Watch it!

Dead River trip

I have made a decision on my birthday trip! Mom is going with me to Maine. A side trip we are taking will be to the Dead River to go rafting! The brochure promises level IV and V rapids and I can't wait! We went to the Colorado River and took an 8 mile trip but this trip is a 15 mile journey and no minors can go in our raft! EXCITING!!!! Mom joked that we are 12 years older than the last time and I told her to channel her sense of adventure. (I didn't tell her that we will go on a 5 mile hike once we made it out of the drink) :)

Oh the above picture is Dead River Falls. I am certain to post some great pics in August!!

Who said it? Match the Quotes

Today, May 4th is Star Wars Day! It says so on Wikipedia so it must be true! The actual anniversary is May 25, 1977. I thought it would be fun to revisit some famous quotes. I am not a fan of the "new" movies but I included one quote from a new film. Have fun!


1. "I have a bad feeling about this."
2. "Apology accepted, Captain Needa."
3. "Mos Eisley Spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy."
4. "Do or do not. There is no try."
5. "So be it…Jedi."
6. "Only a Sith deals in absolutes."

A. Darth Vader
B. Obi-Wan Kenobi (A New Hope Episode IV)
C. Yoda
D. Obi-Wan Kenobi (Revenge of the Sith)
E. Emperor Palpatine
F. Leia, Han, C3PO, Lando Calrissian, or Luke

My Brave Mom

My mom has been threatening to cut her hair for months. SHE DID IT!!! These pics aren't the best but it is what she sent me. MY hair wasn't ever this short, but now I am tempted. She also has decided to go "au naturel" but you couldn't really tell because her hair was so long. I love her hair cut and her color although she is too young to have Granddad hair. Hopefully my genes skipped over the salt and pepper option, but as my hair is black I highly doubt it.

Amendments to the list

I have decided to have two and only two honorable mentions to my hot list. Aunt J mentioned the above scene and I couldn't agree more! Christopher Plummer as Captain von Trapp is very handsome. It's funny how one movie and make you think of another, so by serendipity I also add Yul Brynner as King Mongkut. I thoroughly enjoy The King and I whether it be the musical or the movie. Yul Brynner looks severe but very good looking too!

Top Ten!

So People Mag came out with their top 100 hot people and I thought I would share mine! The difference is, some of my top ten are the fictional characters the actors portray! Have fun and NO DROOLING!!!!

#1 COLLIN FIRTH- He is my #1 real or imagined. The smooth delivery of his voice, those penetrating eyes! Hello Mr. Darcy!!!!

#2 HAN SOLO- No imaginary hot boyfriend list is complete without the rebel Solo. I would definitely cruise into hyperdrive with Han!

#3 CHANNING TATUM- He is just gorgeous! I first saw him in "She's the Man." I can't say anymore about him without blushing. He looks really yummy in the GI Joe trailer.

#4 JAKE RYAN as played by Michael Schoeffling- Jake Ryan holds a special place in my heart. I blame him for wanting a birthday cake on a dining room table with a magical first kiss over candle light! I don't know anyone near my age who wouldn't cry if this girlish fantasy came true!

#5 MICHAEL VARTAN- He might be an unknown for some. He played Sidney Bristow's handler and love interest, Michael Vaughn. He is my sensitive pick. He is very convincing. If you haven't seen Alias, you should check it out on Netflix. He also played in "Never Been Kissed."

#6 RHETT BUTLER- Yeah so I have heard that Clark Gable in real life was kind of smelly and chain smoked and had dentures, but I would let Captain Butler save me from the Yankees even today! Rhett was a man's man! I like the idea of someone loving a strong willed woman and not a wilting flower! Not many book characters look like the actors who played them for me, but I will say that MY RHETT looks exactly like Clark Gable.

#7 SYLAR- Zachary Quinto does an excellent job playing the diabolical SYLAR on Heroes! I can almost feel the comtempt watching him blast the good guys! Zachary almost makes the list as a hot guy and character but he looks goofy in the Star Trek photos.

#8 MICHAEL CARRINGTON played by Maxwell Caulfield- Ok so laugh if you will, but Grease 2 blows Grease out of the water! I watched Grease 2 the first time probably at the age of 5. I did see #2 before the original and I must say that Michael Carrington is way hotter that Danny Zucko! When he sings "Charade"..... my oh my! A dream sequence in biker heaven is more plausible than a flying car and thats all I will say about that!

#9 TOM SELLECK- Now I can thank my mom for liking Tom Selleck. He is so handsome and very gentlemanly. He truly seems like a good person in the interviews I have read. He looks good in every role I see him play. I am not a 'stache person, but his is GRRREAT!

#10 ERIC DANE aka DR MCSTEAMY- I love Grey's Anatomy! I prefer Dr Mark Sloan over McDreamy. He is considered a rogue, which is probably why I like him better than Derek.

I hope you enjoyed my list! I have nothing important to post, all I do is work!
