things that are eating my brain.

 
1. gossip girl season two
since the tedward and i don't have television, we have to wait for our favorite tv shows to go to DVD. that's fine...i prefer it that way. we bought season 2 of gossip girl last week and i must say this: CHUCK RULES.
that is all.
 
 
2. bobby freakin flay
his cooking skills blow my mind. i have a chef crush on him.
seriously. Iron Chef? he's the best one.
his throw-downs? the bomb. (did anyone see the chicken and waffles epi?)
 
 
3. "the hunger games"
lula! convinced me to buy this young adult book for my vacation read. however, ted started reading it before i got the chance to pick it up. he said it was one of his favorite books of all time. well, i finally got a chance to start it and i must say...
UH-MAZE-ING!
everyone go buy it RIGHT now.
FYI...Katniss can kick Bella's trash...so naturally, i approve.
 
 
what's eating your brain today?

Lindsey Layton said...

The second book to Hunger Games came out yesterday: Catching Fire. I am dying to read it!

Tim and Tricia Layton said...

My husband and I LOVE Chuck Bass. He may be the skankiest one out of all of them, but, hey! He's Chuck Bass, so therefore it's ok. Bobby Flay is amazing...but I love Hunger Games even more...and Catching Fire...oh man, don't even get me started. I'm a huge nerd and read it in a day. I completely ignored my 2 year old, but he seems to be doing fine.

Erica said...

Totally off topic:
I just added you on Twitter. My username is Erica__Rose. (so you know who the creeper is!)

Erica said...

LOVE Bobby Flay! I have a crush on him too! I'll have to go buy the book. Just got done ordering The Vampire Diaries. So excited to read it. I'm reading The Time Travelers Wife right now. Good stuff.

Kristina P. said...

Chuck Bass is one bad Motherchucker.

And I used to really hate Bobby Flay. I thought he was so arrogant. Until I started watching Throwdown, and now I love him! He's adorable and always so gracious.

Natalie said...

The Hunger Games is one of my favorite books of all time. Unbelievable! I love the part with the flowers. It made me cry it was so beautiful. I can't wait to read catching fire.

I'm also thrilled to find another person without TV! Hi. I don't like paying for things I can get for free. The end.

little ms. sassy shelby said...

AH! The thing that is eating my brain is that I don't have GG season two yet. I need to watch it because I neeeeed a little Chuck and Blair action in my life.

Jenn with Two N's said...

i'm so glad someone else thinks chuck rules, because i freakin' love him! his evilness makes me smile, but then he's got this like sweet side there too...and no one sees it, but i know its there!

Curtis and Dani Welton said...

We didnt have cable until for a little over a year either :) For the first month after we got it we were glued to the TV.

Alice said...

I am in need of a new book so I guess I'll got find The Hunger Games.

The only thing eating my brain is my lame j-o-b. I wish I could get paid to read. that would be sweet.

Lauren said...

I would rather watch TV series on DVD. I sit in front of the telly and binge watch the entire series sometimes in one sitting... Even though it might sound kinda lame, I love it!

Mitch & Chelsey said...

I LOVE gossip girl. I watch it online. Totally in love with Chuck!

Meghan O said...

1. Gossip Girl is pretty dang great and so is that sly Chuck Bass. And 2. I've hearing a lot about the Hunger Games. I'm going to have to read it!

thekitchenette said...

Motherchucker! He makes the series. True story.

I can't WAIT for Season Three... 11 days and counting!

erin said...

i cant wait for the new season of gossip girl!!
and im pretty sure young and the restless is eating my brain for sure right now.

Jen said...

Gossip Girl is also eating my brain! Just finished up season 2 through netflix. My awesome brother bought me season 1 for my b-day so I am starting that again! So glad to find another Chuck fan! He seriously rocks!

Tameka said...

Hunger Games has taken over my life! I won an autographed copy on Twitter last Saturday and have been forever changed! My single mother's budget is crying for me not to buy Catching Fire and to wait for it at the library but I can feel myself caving!
Oh and PS - Bobby Flay equals sex in a chef's jacket! Thanks for stopping by! :-)

Stu and Angie Milne said...

ummm just wait for the season finale.. seriously chuck is BOMB. ps you know you can watch all the episodes online?

Devin & Ruthann said...

I too love Gossip Girl. It's pretty trashy, yes, but I still love it!

Devin totally makes chicken and waffles! He learned it on his mission in Alabama.

Natalie Ann Ingram said...

cwtv.com....you can watch the episode every week. I love me some chuck.

I am so jealous that you get to pleasure read. I can't wait for spring of 2010 really.


I just feel like sewing. It's eating my brain. To somewhat get it out of my brain I sewed my Young women handouts for my lesson on Sunday. I just keep looking at fashion blogs and want to make the things I see.

Evan said...

Yes, "The Hunger Games" is one of the best books EVER!!! Here is my review of it: http://teenfictionforgrownups.blogspot.com/2009/08/hunger-games-by-suzanne-collins.html

The sequel to "The Hunger Games" just came out on Tuesday. Its called "Catching Fire" and you better believe I was at the bookstore when it opened...and I finished it this morning. A-MAZ-ING!!!!!

lilnelablack said...

I live for Gossip Girl even though I HATED the books. I only made it through the first 2 then I quit. BUT I LOVE CHUCK BASS!!!
I watch just for him, and of course to see what Blair is wearing : )

Marci Darling said...

Chuck Bass still makes me laugh.
But I should probably start watching that show now.
What's eating my brain is that I want every single item from modcloth.com but my paycheck simply won't allow it.

sadness.

Chris said...

Well, for startes...gossip girl now thanks to you. LOL. Gotta say, I <3 Georgina. She's pretty mcuh evil all the way...it'd probably be either Chuck or Blair...but without the love-ish things that they do to each other. ;D

and...that it's raining. And this is Cancun...and it never rains. :O

PRP said...

Eating my brain is that I have 47 minutes to myself in between one set of company leaving and another one arriving. Seriously.

Summer @ B is for Brown said...

Nancy Face said...

amy'svinylsign's said...

gosh I feel out of the loop, I haven't heard of any of those haha! oh and sorry I didn't attach the button with the last email but I did send it again so anyways thanks for all your help, your too KIND!

Ashley said...

I feel pretty out of the loop too. Right now I'm loving the Being Human series and the 3rd season of Criminal Minds. I haven't read hunger games yet but it's on my very long list of must reads.

Jayci said...

I'm glad you like Chuck Bass because he drives me up the wall. ha ha - ARGHH! So I'm glad someone likes him. :P The Hunger Games... Vampire books? I'm reading all your recs... I bought Vampire Diaries when I was at the book store last week with my mom. She told me I had to go into the young adult section alone. She strolled Mont over to somewhere more 'adult' ha ha!! I laughed so hard. I told her the Young Adult books are always the best! Most imaginative and most fun. I have no idea what this book is about (the hunger games) but I will find out!

Lauren C said...

The Office. Every season. The fact season 5 comes out on DVD Tuesday. Anddddd season 6 premieres two weeks from today.

Hello? John Krasinski? Mmmmmmhm.

Brooklyn said...

I love Chuck with his bow ties and purple outfits!! I want him to say those three words eight letters to me :)

Haley*Marie said...

I totally JUST bought that book yesterday!!! i love it SO much!

GardenofEdee said...

I'm so happy you love Chuck. I can't get enough of him =)

The Hunger Games is amazing. As is the sequel Catching Fire. I finished it last night instead of doing my piles of homework (which I had to do this morning instead). Just wait. It's amazing...

Ella Press said...

I LOVE Chuck too! And I'm almost done with season 2 :o)

I need, need, need to read that book! But it's too expensive over here (Argentina)!
I'm gonna have to save some money to buy it next month...

Amber W. said...

I'm listening to "The Hunger Games" on my iPod. I'm not very far, but I can't wait until I have a good chunk of time to just listen. It has definitely captured my attention. Love the Bobby Flay "Throwdowns." Did you see the "shrimp and grits" episode? The guy he went up against was such a sweetheart!

Lisa said...

You can watch almost everything online (including gossip girl), although a lot of networks only keep the last 2 or 3 episodes on their websites.

Molly said...

MUTUAL 2NITE!!! AWESOMENESS!

Yvonne said...

Nothing eating my brain--sad morning but GREAT afternoon.

Emily said...

Your vacation has been awesome! I love looking at all your photos! I love piers too! I think that they are just amazing...well I think I am going to have to read that book.

Anonymous said...

Yeah, Emily anonymous commenter here. Umm... I FREAKIN LOOOVE THE HUNGER GAMES!! It's my favy book behind Twilight. The sequel Catching Fire came out on Tuesday. Go buy it! I'm soo Team Gale.

I love Gossip Girl, too! Hilary Duff is guest starring in the new season. I can't wait. Chuck = awesome.

amanda leeann said...

i have a major crush on bass. i think it's the whole bad boy attitude.

the hunger games rules. i'm reading it for the second time right now! lucky for you, the second one is already out...i had to wait like, forever.

today, i have no brain. i'm going to watch tv that requires no thought [like gossip girl] or read about katniss and peeta...no thought of my own required =]

Rugergirl said...

SO WEIRD...We couldn't get TV where we lived in washington(out by the mountain) back in 2000, so we just haven't had it since.

I must say, when I first starting watching Gossip Girl( and my hubby watches it too) Lasers used to shoot out from my eyes at CHUCK I disliked him that much. But I knew there was a softer Chuck. And this season proved it. YAYAYYAYAY

Heather said...

We don't have t.v. either. I actually prefer to watch shows in a whole season, instead of waiting.

Erica &amp; Albert said...

HUNGER GAMES!! so glad to see someone else loves that book. I read it last semester and couldn't put it down, therefore reading it all in one day. And the sequel came out YESTERDAY! why it is not in my hands at this very moment is beyond me.

your taste in books rules!

Natalie said...

MY CAMERA.

i look forward to playing with it ALWAYS.

oh, and the fact that i'm starving like a child in africa. freakin' feeeeed me. om nom nom.

The Gomes Family said...

Hunger Games rule, Stephenie Meyers turned me on to it since we are BFF's. Catching Fire the sequel is out and you can get it at Walmart for 12 bucks!

Andi said...

I love Bobby Flay too!!! I think he's sort of sexy in a nerdy chef kind of a way. Love the beach pics, too ~ I grew up in Southern California and miss the beach so much! Sounds like you had a great vacation. :)

S said...

I bought my brother The Hunger Games, but he hasn't let me read it yet because he wants to read it again, but I may have to go be all sneaky and steal it from his room.

heidi lou said...

I'm with Lauren C. THE OFFICE! I can't possibly wait for the 8th when season 5 comes out...

Carbs are also eating my brain. I want them all. Lasagna, waffles, you name it, I want it to GET IN MY BELLY. oh, the death of me.

kate lines said...

so to be honest, i still don't get the hype around gossip girl?! sure, they wear cute clothes.

and i'm sorry people are lame in your classes, if we had a class together, i would let you sit by me and give you my phone number. :)

KatOfDiamonds said...

The next Hunter Games book came out Sept 1, just fyi in case no one already said it in the comments above... I heard about it from a YouTuber and was thinking about picking it up, so naturally after reading about it on your blog, I am so there!

KatOfDiamonds said...

ps. I could totally go fangirl over Ed Westwick and 2nd hand embarrass everyone. I heart him!

Tia said...

i'm still stuck on the whole "no TV" thing...

wow.

i wonder what i'd do with all my spare time?

i admire you.

and Chuck Bass EFFING RULES.

it ends tonight. said...

i love the hunger games. the end.

Kylie said...

gossip girl...love.
chuck bass...love.
bobby flay...love.
so i think i need to read that book so i can say i love that too.

Cat said...

the hunger games is my new favorite book trilogy... try reading the second book Catching Fire.. it just came out and is awesome too.

Laura said...

My most favorite book. Seriously. I just started reading Catching Fire, and I'm already in love.

Jessica said...

ooooo, I just finished The Hunger Games and I loved it. I already ordered the sequel "Catching Fire".

Lula! said...

I agree. With every single word of this. I love Chuck. I love chicken & waffles. I love The Hunger Games.

But I love you more. Welllllllll...ok, yes. I do love you more than Chuck Bass. He is fictional, after all.

Nicole said...

Gossip girl rules my world. Loves it. I am dying for Season 3.

Jennifer said...

Oh Lauren, tell me you're reading Catching Fire soon! It's amazing!! I'm almost in mourning that we have to wait a full year to read the final book! I've been pimping Hunger Games like I pimped Twilight :-) Things that I love? My newly-purchased New Moon Midnight premier tickets.
