Currently Reading




So I was in the theater the other day seeing Star Trek(which was awesome!) and saw the trailer for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. It. Looks.Awesome. Now, I had never read Harry Potter before because it sounded weird. But now I am giving them a try. I just read the first two and they were cute, but a little young. I am about to start the third book, The Prisoner of Azkaban and everyone says it is really good. I hope it is! What do you think? Is the whole series worth reading?

Before Edward, There Was Angel

So I know that because of Twilight, vampires are everywhere. They are more popular now than they have ever been. But we mustn't forget that vampires have been around in books, tv shows, and movies for a very long time. And probably my favorite supernatural show is Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It was truly a show before its time and the creator, Joss Whedon, is a genius. Now, I love Edward Cullen. He is the perfect man. Well, not man exactly. But before Edward, there was Angel. The Vampire that fell in love with the enemy. Angel is up there on my list of amazing men, dead or alive. It is one the sweetest romances, the love between Buffy and Angel. If you haven't watched it, I beg you to! You won't regret it. Here is a very cool montage of their relationship and its pretty awesome!


P.S. The song is Porcelain by Moby and I think its pretty kick awesome!

Song: "Song For Someone" by The Frames

I never saw the movie "Once" but the soundtrack was amazing and the male lead in the movie (Glen Hansard) is a band called the Frames and they are amazing! Here is him singing a song called "Song for Someone" live. It is incredible.

Cutest Office Moment of the Season

So I love the Office, it is literally my favorite show and Jim and Pam are one of my top 5 favorite couples. Unfortunately there hasn't been a whole lot of Jim and Pam this season. However, this clip makes up for it entirely! I was laughing and crying at the same time just because I was so happy. I just had to share it with all of you!

MotherLover

So SNL was hilarious and I think Justin Timberlake is really funny and talented. This video is a follow up to their famous "Digital Short" they did a few years ago entitled "Dick in A Box." This video is a dedication to all mom. Warning:adult themes.

Boring!




So I bought The Forest of Hands and Teeth expecting a scary and interesting book but it wasn't good at all! It started out alright and there is some excitement about half way through. However getting to the middle was a chore, and after it I couldn't even finish it and I hate that! First, I couldn't wrap my head around Mary. I didn't like her for one and two she kept changing her mind on certain situations. There wasn't much character development and I didn't care very much about them. There is probably one sad scene that made me actually feel something was when everyone found out Beth had been Infected. Other than that, I did not enjoy this book. Maybe thats just me and you might love this book, but I think that this book is just a dud.


Comment me and tell me what you think of this book!

Oh Sweet Romance!

I am such a sucker for romantic movies, and right now I have an obsession with period dramas. Searching for trailers on youtube, I found this video of montages of amazing period films. It is one of the best vids I have ever seen I just had to share with you! I just watched North and South and it was AMAZING!

Tearjerker


Movie:Seven Pounds
Director:Gabriele Muccino
Cast:Will Smith, Rosario Dawson, Woody Harrelson, and many others
Stars:5!
Recently my friends and I went away to a water park for a fun weekend and we decided to watch a movie. After much consideration, we decided to watch a movie called Seven Pounds that I had heard received many great reviews. I had no idea it would be so emotional and touching, maybe even life changing. The story begins with a guy(Will Smith) who calls a telemarketer and starts yelling at him! I'm serious, that is the beginning of the movie. However as the film progresses, more and more pieces are put together. The hero of this film tries to change seven different lives and he does these amazing things for them. I know this is vague but I don't want to give anything away. All I have to say is that I bawled my eyes out. Please go see this movie and tell me what you think! Truly incredible!

5.Tiffany Blews by Fall out Boy-fun and catchy song
6. Heart of Gold by Neil Young-one of those songs that you just close your eyes and go to a happy place.
7.Nothing That You Are by Mandy Moore-great song for when boys tick you off!
8.Secret Garden by Bruce Springsteen-Not the biggest fan of "The Boss" but I love this song, so romantic and sweet.
9.More Adventerous by Rilo Kiley-amazing song. That's all I can say.

What I Am Currently Watching


So I went to Target today with my sister, who just got her license so she wanted to drive. While I was perusing the dvd section I saw that Psych season 1 and 2 were on sale for a total of $40! I was estatic! So right now I am watching season 1 and laughing hysterically. I know it's not a popular show, but it is so funny and somewhat innocent. It is just one of those feel good shows! I definitely suggest watching this show!

Let me introduce myself...

Hi! I'm Sarah! I'll tell you right up front, I am not really a very opinionated person. So why have a blog you ask? Well, I have one talent in life and that is that I know everything there is about pop culture. I don't know why. I just do. Because of that, I am obsessed with everything concerning book, music, movies, and t.v. shows, and I daily check Perezhilton.com. If you aren't into that kind of thing, you might just want to stop reading this now. But if you love to read, listen to different kinds of music, watch movies and/or t.v., maybe I can tell you what is the good stuff and the bad stuff. And please let me know of anything you might be reading or listening to, what movies you love! I love discovering new things! So thats me in a nutshell. I hope you read my blog( which obviously you are because you are reading this) and please message me anytime!
