Wow, Madeleine Peyroux sounds alot like Ella Fitzgerald. Very nice.

No plans for the holiday. Hope you feel better!

Get well soon javabeans.

i've also been fightiing a dry cough for about a month. Can't get rid of the sucker.

Anyways, I've finally taken a day off on Saturday and although it's not a long weekend in Canada, I plan to attend a foodie festival and also catch the new Prince Caspian movie.

Hope everyone has a good one.

well if it stops raining and being all cold i am planning to go to the strawberry festival this weekend in G.G.....

but who knows, this weather is pretty crazy...one day its 100 and the next its raining with lightning and thunder :(

changing the topic a bit....i cant wait for the Hana Yori Dango movie to come out

every holiday weekend should have a bbq.......with bomb fires and beer.

i caught the first episode of iljimae and it's a lot different than i thought. the beginning episode has the exact flashy concept of hong gil dong. with the same "i'm hong gil dong" attitude, substituting hong gil dong with iljimae. though i'm not into copycat dramas, i think i might stick around for this one.

preparing myself for one hell of a memorial day! hope you feel better, java!

Hope you feel better! My theory is that if you sound worse than you feel, then you're on your way to recovery! Atleast a holiday weekend means relaxation..mostly!

I'm going to try and explore my own city a bit. How is it that we don't do that unless we have guests? I'm going to try and do it in advance. And make plans to visit sunny cali :)

Any good movies out right now, btw? Anybody have any recommendations? I heard good things about Iron Man but I don't think thats my kind of movie.

i know what you mean by sick all week. i was so sick i couldn't get out of bed last weekend, got better, and caught another strain of the cold by first graders on wednesday. and. all the meds were expired of course. i hate that! so expensive too!!

well. hope you can drink up for memorial day because i plan to recover and play by then. :))

Iron Man is really, really good.
I didn't think it was my kind of movie either. I know practically zip about Robert Downey Jr. except his rehab stints, but dang he was awesome.

It's so hot here. I'm practically washing my face every 10 minutes because I can feel the oil coagulating. eeewwww.

Have a good weekend. Hope you feel better.

I'm adding one more year in my life tomorrow! Jeez years pass by so fast! Everyone can celebrate with me tomorrow hehe.. I hope it'll be a nice day!

. . . Doc, not up for Indiana Jones?

. . . Loving the Last Friends J-drama. It has some flaws, one especially severe (cartoony characterization of the main "baddie"), and its depiction of domestic violence can be hard to watch. (Which is to say, they've gotten it right. Episode 6 really nails down the "bird in the cage" frayed shell that happens after you've been beaten again and again and again . . .) But, it has also one of the most moving love stories I've seen in years. You just ache so badly for Ruka.

. . . Loving "Third" -- the new Portishead. Actually I'm more than loving it, this is definitely my favorite record this year and its use of Kraut, electroclash, garage guitar fuzz, Elephant 6 folk, Gawd knows what, is not only original, but clarifies the broken hotel essence of Portishead's body of work. Cat Power IDM.

. . . LOVE Madeleine Peyroux. Good call, drama!

. . . not loving tornados in SoCal. I mean, that's just stupid.

. . . I found that nothing helps a fever quite like a long island iced tea. This is especially true when you don't have a fever.

hope you feel better soon, sarahbeans.

my birthday's on sunday! suffice to say i'm still probably one of the younger readers on this site (turning 16).

i've been sick this week too, though i had been taking cold prevention medicine like crazy. i ended up losing my voice just in time for a round of graduation parties where i had to make squeaky conversation with strangers. fun.

ohhh. Iron Man is SOOO good. i highly recommend that movie. i'd watch it again in the theatre. i'm gonna see prince caspian this weekend because my husband is really excited about it. :-)

i hope you feel better javabeans. i hate it when i find out my meds are expired right when i need them. there was a time when i went to three different drugstores and the meds i needed were all expired! ugh.

hope you'll get better soon!

how did u managed to keep posting? thanks for the Last scandal Ep11 recap!

when i get sick (not very often neither) i always think "i forgot it was so terrible to be sick". Therefore tell myself "should be happy when heathly and stop whining about the other stuffs like work, my boss,..."

i'm here in France, and these days all they talk about is Cannes festival. i never understood how they judge? the award goes to strange to stranger movies....
bored by all the "cultural" beat, i plan to go to the magic kingdom of mickey, eat some cotton candy, and try out the twilight zone and scream it all out. this can be a good way to evacuate all bad bugs inside!

Yeah I know what you mean...I'm not sick but I'm recovering from the shock and pain from having my wisdom tooth taken out.....there's like a big gap.....
Anyways hope you'll get better soon! On the bright side: We'll soon re-charge over the weekend. ^^

I hope you feel better javabeans! And Happy Sweet 16 #12!

Oh yes, Indiana Jones! I might go check that out if they're not all full. My brother and I are Narnia fans, so Prince Caspian might be on the list but the first one wasn't that great...I guess our imagination is usually better. Mostly I don't like adaptations of my favorite books. Except the new Chocolate Factory. Johnny Depp was just so awesome and eccentric and weird that it was a whole new experience, not an adaptation. Loved that.

Aww, hope you get better soon. Pollen allergy came back with force today, but that's all right as it seemed to have been taking a vacation since last week so I could actually concentrate on studying and didn't have too much trouble during my first 3 exams :P Only one more left! Hopefully the pollen allergy will take another vacation then or I'll have to go get some medicine for it... pollen this year seems worse than previous years~ *sighs*

@kotatsulove: happy birthday in advance! I've got a friend who also has her birthday on sunday XD That's the reason why we're throwing her a birthday party 2morrow (as she'll be celebrating with her relatives on sunday) so that's the only fun thing I'll be doing this week-end :) Had originally planned to reformat my comp, but I just did that it's done and over with ^^ I just hope I remembered to back up everything important...

When's memorial day? And memorial day for what? It's nothing I'm familiar with... ^^;;

thanks for the birthday wishes!

and memorial day is a day of remembrance for those who have died in the military...therefore we barbecue. and drink.

hi, I know i suppose to ask this question on FAQ section, but since sonific is gone now, I wonder how can you put your music on your blog through zshare? I try to follow the instruction, but it doesn't work. [audio ....ended with.mp3]

Please help, i'm just really desperate.

Thanks

Stressed...stupid boyfriend problems.

Get well soon javabeans!

:( i must have infected everyone on this blog.. sorry to hear so many ppl are sick..
i've been under the weather on & off for months & have been finding out it's a chronic condition.. & the sudden rainstorm yesterday complete with thunder & lightning (very strange weather for socal) did me in.. i'm drugged on cold medicine & painkillers & spent the entire day sleeping.. but midterms and finals are coming up in the next few weeks so i don't have any hopes of doing anything fun even if & when i recover.. but lots of memorial weekend, happy birthday & get well wishes to everyone! ;)

blame it on the weather... it was raining and cold only 60 in arizona, imagine if it's been 100 b4. ugh! hope u all feel better soon...

hmmm, maybe indiana jones..not sure if it's good after 18 years? they should find a younger actor and make this movie continually like the 007 with different actors...off course its hard to find anyone as good as harison ford, who can act like him...?!!

i have yet to see indiana jones! so excited tho!

there are some great movies out in the box office lately! prince caspian was great. many actors were drool-worthy. (personal fave = skandar keynes!)
iron man was terrific as well. so testosterone-y but amazing amazing amazing.

ah i just got better too although my stomach is still incredibly weak
drink drink drink!

I hope you are feeling better today javabeans... get well!

What's up with everyone being sick or just got better from being sick? It's interesting to read that ~20 people (out of 30) have been sick in the past week.

For me, I don't really celebrate memorial weekend...just shop and spend time with family. Oh yeah, I just graduated so it was fun to have a little celebration for that.

nice! I'm in NYC right now and loving every moment (well, not really but).. lol. but it's pretty fun/really fun.

so much walking!!! i miss "beign lazy"

I became addicted to Kdramas and Ksongs recently - I think your blogpage had some thing to do with it, javabeans! :) Anyways, I just spend the last two days catching upon Unstoppble Marriage (the sitcom) - it was a really long week and didnt' have time to watch it all week (was having withdrawls)! SUCH A GOOD SHOW!!!!!! Anyone else addicted to this as I am? :) I'll be so sad when it's over......... :(

Anyways, hope you are feeling better javabeans!
