Chris in the Morning and the gang...

Remember that Northern Exposure themed post I promised? Here it is:

So, early June bf and I were in Seattle to visit Sis (mine). While there, we decided to rent a car and head up to Roslyn, WA. Why Roslyn, you ask? Well, Roslyn happens to be the little town chosen to depict Cicely, Alaska in only the greatest show in the world...Northern Exposure! Now keep in mind, the show's been off the air for a decade so we didn't know what to expect.


{The view we got to enjoy on our hour long drive-gorgeous!}

Lo and behold, the town looks almost exactly as it did on the show! We found many of the famous landmarks and couldn't contain our excitement!

{Cafe Cicely-can you believe it?!}

{Sis was giggling the entire time}

{Handsome bf trying to hide his excitement}

{I failed miserably at trying to be coy}

We decided to go to the Brick for a bite to eat and I half expected to see Holling tending bar and Shelly waiting tables. Alas, we were not so lucky but we did manage to garner a few funny looks from the locals who were confused at how much younger we were compared to the usual NE fanbase.

Roslyn is an awesome town, not only do they have this rich Hollywood past, they also brew some delicious beer. What a jem, so glad we had a chance to make our way up there.

Damn these brown eyes of mine...

So, this weekend my sister was in town from Seattle. We had a wonderful time and although we did manage to do some fun things such as drink at familiar bars, go bowling and go to a concert, we somehow ended up getting take-out and watching Gilmore Girls non-stop. I forgot how much I love that show and how much I miss it. I also forgot just how gorgeous Alexis Bledel is. It is a sin to have such beautiful eyes. I also forgot how much I relate to her character, Rory. The sweet, nice girl that nobody expects to do "bad" things such as dump the nice boy for the James Dean-rebel type or to sleep with her married ex-boyfriend. This post is for all the girls out there who can also relate to Rory, remember that life is too short to always make the sweet, nice girl choices. Sometimes, we have to live a little even if it means doing something out of character.

Still the one...

I don't have cable at my apartment but somehow I manage to get TBS and BET, clearly the greatest cable channels; so you see, I am set. If you watch TBS at all, you know a couple of things never fail:

1. They like to play the same movies over and over again.

2. Family Guy, Friends and Sex and the City are always on.

3. They advertise the shit out of their shows and movies as well as TNT's shows and movies.....

Speaking of TNT, have you caught that new drama starring Timothy Hutton, Leverage that TBS has advertised obsessively? Well, I was actually delighted that TBS decided to air the pilot last night because after seeing the myriad of commercials I was happy to see that Timothy Hutton is still a hot, hot man. He still gets my heart racing....his show on the other hand-well, let's just say I don't foresee any Emmy noms any time soon.

P.S. That is the awesome Rainn Wilson's face that Mr. Hutton is covering.
