My last post was about tv and this post is going to be too. What can I say...
I decided I want to start watching this show because it looks delightful and hilarious.
Glee
I wish I would have started from the beginning though because apparently in the last episode they sang Defying Gravity from Wicked!! Im gonna have to buy the seasons.

finale.
Well this season or I mean cycle of ANTM went by pretty fast. I didnt even know the first episode was on and when me and Kimi realized it we both went running into the living room to see if we had missed anything. It seems like this cycle was shorter than the others though (get it, shorties) but for real, it went by very quickly.
These are the two finalists for the cycle. If the finale is next week we should totes watch it and make some food like the good ol times.
Nicole. Her nickname was bloody eyeball when she was little- so she says. I thought she was kinda weird in the beginning but she actually takes really good pictures and she is cute and kinda goofy. I'm glad shes in the finale.
Laura. One of my favorites from the beginning. She has the cutest little southern accent and her grandma pretty much makes all of her clothes.
The only thing I dont get about this season is that they are almost making fun of the girls. For example when they are in judging and the never wear heels and they are always looking kind of scroungey. Plus their house (even though its super cute) is full of mini stuff. Idk, maybe its just me. I thought this has been a pretty good season so far though, there were some pretty cool photo shoots- cirque de solei and the under water ones but it still doesnt beat my favorite two though- the cycles with Danielle and Jacqueline.

I could listen to this song over and over again in any different language or any different style. I love it even though it tugs at my heart each time.
Plus its a classic, songs arent this precious any more. haha.

I wonder.
Interesting theory...
I wonder if these really work. I am always up for things thing make a body look good, except for drinking milk- yeah thats just mostly for cereal.
These are kinda pricey but if they arent a bunch of false advertisement they might actually be worth it.

Friday!
I think Im going to take this friday off, just for fun.
Oh Wikipedia, thank you for your most useful information on any subject matter that my mind wanders to.
The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskevidekatriaphobia. Yeah I dont even know how to say that, haha.
The actual origin of the superstition, though, appears also to be a tale in Norse mythology. Friday is named for Frigga, the free-spirited goddess of love and fertility. When Norse and Germanic tribes converted to Christianity, Frigga was banished in shame to a mountaintop and labeled a witch. It was believed that every Friday, the spiteful goddess convened a meeting with eleven other witches, plus the devil - a gathering of thirteen - and plotted ill turns of fate for the coming week. For many centuries in Scandinavia, Friday was known as "Witches' Sabbath."
The Knights Templar were a monastic military order founded in Jerusalem in 1118 C.E., whose mission was to protect Christian pilgrims during the Crusades. Over the next two centuries, the Knights Templar became extraordinarily powerful and wealthy. Threatened by that power and eager to acquire their wealth, King Philip secretly ordered the mass arrest of all the Knights Templar in France on Friday, October 13, 1307 - Friday the 13th

decor.
Well sometimes I get in these moods where I love decorating stuff. I think I have a good style when it comes to decor however I dont know if I would be able to ever decorate/design for other peoples homes. I took this class in high school and my teacher loved me (not trying to brag but she did, haha) and she said I could have a career in it. The thing is I know what I like and what I think looks good but if people came to me and were like I want these colors, I would probably be like um that doesnt work. And plus Im not a big fan of neutral colors, well I am if they are used w/ other colors. Haha. Anyways these are my recent discoveries.

i have to.
I saw this ridiculously awesome bag on UO website the other day and I have pretty much been obsessed with it ever since I saw it. Not even kidding- I have been planning outfits to wear with it. Anyways I googled heart bag and to my astonishment I found two more jewels and now I cant decide which one to get.
I love all three but I am only getting one for sure. So which one???
I am leaning more between the UO one and the Topshop one but I just dont know...
Especially if I had a cute black sparkley dress and cute heels in red maybe and some tights with the seams in the back... oh man...

Who's up for dragon hunting?
This is what I did on Friday during work... thank you Bekky Far Far:
Bekky: I wish magic was really out there. My life would be so much cooler if I could get ahold of magic!
Vic: Hahahah! Cooler and nerdier!! But I really do wish there was magic
Bekky: we can always just pretend.... then we'll never get married.
Vic: Would we be able to make people fall in love with us though?? Oh, oh ! we can use magic to make the best weddings ever! Plus they wouldn’t even cost anything cuz magic doesn’t cost right?
Bekky: nope it sure doesn't! Oh man lets get on it Vic.... my grandma always said that every myth or legend started from an actual fact... so that means that at one point there HAD to be magic right!?!?! right!?!?!?! my grandma was also in the mental ward...... probably should have mentioned that.
Vic: I totes believe it, plus people that are in the mental ward really know what they are talking about. They aren’t jaded by everyday life’s lies.
Plus there really was dragons right??
Bekky: well I did see a national geographic special where they found toads deep in the jungle that use certain gasses and seep them out of pores that make them hover over the ground, and those gasses ended up being flammable. So they are trying to prove that if small frogs can do it then prehistoric giant animals HAD to have been able to do it. It was a really long show and I don't remember all the details but I left with the impression that they were certainly alive at one time. And plus in all the old historical (like persian and asian and babylonian) records and old temples they found drawings and stories and in the Bible they talked about the fire breathing animal too... so I think there really could have been.
Vic: I believe they exist, I mean they have to right? Hello, they aren’t that far off of what a dinosaur would be plus there is all sorts of accounts of them from different types of people in different centuries and I don’t think they would have been able to steal each others stories ya know? Didn’t the Asians talk about them too? Its too much of a coincidence for all these people to know about them. Oh and I could have sworn I saw something about that thing too! There are lots of different kinds of lizards and toads with those similarities.
Bekky: yeah there are a ton! And the thing about back in those days is that all those different civilizations didn't have telephones, emails, newspapers and they were way too far apart to travel and tell stories (I mean an Asian isn't going to go to South America or the Congo) and they all have those stories. Actually there is this new big thing where I guess some of the more isolated/less developed tribes in S. America have stories of seeing things similar to Dinosaurs, and then they ran across the same thing in Africa. Like different remote tribes in these areas that are miles and miles apart can draw the same animals that they are seeing and scientists think that they are some kind of dinosaurs!
Vic: It has to be true. I think we have done the job of our friends over at mythbusters. Because there is no way that its not true, I mean come on the evidence is overwhelming.
Bekky: I wish we could actually be on an expedition that tries to prove something like this, woudln't that be awesome?!
Vic: Lets do it for real?
Bekky: done and done. how do we get funds? Victoria maybe it's time you put your wit and charm to good use and start flirting with a millionaire so we can get money to go on this expedition.
Vic: Hhmmm ok! I’ll see what I can find, I mean who I can find. It cant be that hard to find some old man w/ lots of money willing to support two young females on a world expedition to discover dinosaurs.
Bekky: Well you just have to get all dolled up and start hanging out at some classy wine joints. You always have to be by yourself and hang out in the vicinity of the older men. Then when a younger guy comes and hits on you, you just have to say loudly that no thanks and you are waiting for someone more mature and wiser to come talk to you. THen as the younger guy walks away you tie a cherry stem in your mouth toward the direction of the old guy and he is wrapped around your finger.... I have no experience in this.
Vic: Hahaha! oh right, of course you don’t. I need to get on that cherry stem thing, I never learned how to do that and I always end up drooling on myself.
But I definitely think it’s a good idea. I can get them all drunk and then take advantage of them, in the least I can get some cash and then maybe we should start a fund for dragon exploration. This is brilliant!

Success.
I thought this weekend (and end to Halloween) was a pretty, pretty good one.
Friday night was fun because we had a nice B & B meeting and spent a little too much time at Cafe Rio. Haha, I dont think it would be normal if we went out to dinner and spent less than 2 hours there.
We got a new book to read. It sounds like its going to be a interesting read so far. I will feel really bad if it isnt though because the last was not a good start to the club.
Saturday I went to breakfast w/ my mom and sis. It was delicious and nice to just hang out with them.
A little later I met up w/ Kimi, D, and Richard. We got some good food at Taco Bell of course, haha, and spent a few hours playing Super Smash Bros on the wii.
On my way home from that rendezvous I decided I need some boots, haha. Luckily for me I saw Darlene at Gateway and we did a little shopping- Haha great minds do think alike.
Anywho... on my way home I had a few problems with my car :( Thankfully my stepdad was able to fix it now but we will see. I really hope it lasts through the winter!
So then I met up w/ Al and Ryan J. and Clif and we went to her friends Halloween party
... but I agree w/ Al- the real fun was at Ryan J.'s after (thanks for inviting me!)... when we watched Silent Hill and omg that movie is creepy. I have to admit I was kinda scared driving home and my room was really cold when I got there. Not cool. Haha. Overall this Halloween weekend/season was a success. I wish I would have been able to do more and had more opportunities to dress up but oh well... there is always the rest of the year to dress up right? I cant wait for next year though!
This song is good and creepy...
Im still deciding if I like some of their other songs.
I heard it on the English Muse blog and then looked it up and apparently it was on Gossip Girl- weird.
