Happy Thanksgiving~!!!!

I am so thankful this year because...

of all the HUDDY that has been on House!!!

Today I watched new House spoiler promos for next week's episode of House... and might I just say.... I am thankful that the writer's continue to do it the "Housian" way. Nothing is linear, cookie cut, or straightforward. It's House!

Oh yeah, and family and friends. Since very few read my blog, I'll actually personally give a shout out to them-- Kelsey, Jordyn, Alyssa, Rod, and my Cal buddies, Alice, Rachelle, and Holly!

TV shows

Man, The Office is NOT funny anymore. WTH writers?! I used to think The Office was the best scripted comedy show. Now, it is at an all time low. I will keep watching though.

30 Rock- I started watching this for some actual laughs, since The Office was failing to deliver. Good show. I can see why Alec Baldwin, Tina Fey, and the show are wining awards. Humor is a bit goofy, but overall a funny show.

Friday Night Lights- GAHH I want to watch!! should I wait till it premieres on NBC Jan '09? NO, the question is, CAN I wait?? SO HAPPY that S3 is solid like S1 :) ERIC AND TAMI TAYLOR FTW :)

House- KILL 13!!!!! SHE IS THE WEAK LINK. I HATE HERRRRR!!!!!!!!!!! K, in all seriousness, obviously S5 is not like S1-3. The tone and structure is a bit different with the addition of the 3 new doctors. They have been exploring the characters a bit more this season, which sounded great on paper, but doesn't turn out great when YOU DON'T CARE about the characters that are being written about. Honestly, I couldn't care about the dull, flat, boring, vapid, bitchy "doctor" that is 13. Writers keep shoving her down our throats. GAH! I think it says a lot about a character when a lot of people want her to DIE! I hope Huntington's takes her away fast. Oh yeah, and Foreman... okay, I never liked him. But I respected him as a DOCTOR. Even though hes extremely stubborn and his standing up to House got annoying sometimes, he was a good doctor. Now, he has been reduced to a wallflower that contributes nothing except "eye rolls" and "eyebrow raises." Same w/ cam and chase- they are pretty much nonexistent characters, which is a shame, because they were much better doctors, had much better chemistry, and were much more interesting characters that you gradually got to know. But the writers made a decision, so what can I do...
On the other hand, House, Wilson, and Cuddy, are still wonderful. Such great characters played by such brilliant actors. House is a brilliant show. Sometimes I feel I am too critical-- that the newbies aren't THAT bad. But that is only bc I love it so much :)

PS HUDDY FTW

GOBAMA!!!

Last weekend was amazing!!! Jessica and I went up to Stanford to visit good ole Alyssa. The commute up there took much longer than we expected, however, because we just missed the bart when we got to the station. So we had to wait another 20 min, then another 20 min between transfers, 40 min for the Cal Train, and 30 minutes for the bus. That's is 2 hours longer than it should have taken. We left at 9:50 and got there at around 2. Oh yeah, because it was raining a lot, we basically couldn't do anything there, but stay in Alyssa's dorm! haha but its cool, it was a fun adventure. Stanford has a really pretty campus and it's nice to walk on flat ground! But everyone knows Cal is a much cooler place, and I know Alyssa feels the same deep down! Hah! Oh yeah, the trip back was also a bit of a disastor, because we were stranded at the Palo Alto station for over 2 hours in the rain!!! hahaha. But anyways, we got back for the Jason Mraz concert.



The concert was AMAZING!!! Jason Mraz is 100 times better live (if that's possible). Omg it was awesome. We were such fangirls, screaming, yelling, spazzing. I bet we annoying the people around us, but who the hell cares!!! If It Kills Me, Beautiful Mess, Live High, Lucky are my favorite songs of his new album!!

OMG!!! I am so elated that Obama won! His victory speech was AMAZING. IF you haven't seen it, you MUST. I have never been so inspired by a public figure before and I have never been so optimistic about a politician. It was a well fought fight. Obama ran a brilliant campaign. McCain, sorry to say, is really not what the country needs right now. We do not need an extension of the Bush administration and an economic policy a la Hoover. We have already re-gained legitimacy and favor around the world.

Anyways, what better place to celebrate such a historic victory than at Berkeley!! After Obama's speech, 100s maybe 1000s of people raced out to the streets of Cal celebrating his win. It was THE best night I've ever had here. There was so much euphoria and emotion. HUGE crowds of people running through the streets, cars honking, people chanting in unity, music, dancing, and just ultimate civic pride. I will never forget that night. And I am so happy that I got to experience it at Berkeley.

haha, Alice randomly found this video on Youtube. See if you can spot me!!! (Hint: I'm wearing a white shirt) :)
