The past couple of weeks, for some reason, just wasn't in the mood to post. Guess I was in a mini-funk as all my big fun-stuff is over with. The weather is cooling here and autumn has arrived. I love autumn but the decreasing sunlight was probably a factor as well. Anyhoo, let's get on with it.

The summer of stalking of John Barrowman has ended for me.  Thanks to the generous dr_is_in, I was able to get to one more show.  Instead of a long rant about how the CBC is made of epic fail for their audience co-ordination skills, let's just say that after spending hours in line, we were among the last group to get into the studio.  We also had a guest of honour -- Lord Andrew Lloyd Weber -- who proceeded to cause John to have a laughing fit by mentioning a gerbil (don't ask).  Ended up sitting behind the judges so very few pictures.  After the show, we waited around and was able to catch John while he was leaving.  So glad the gals were able to meet him after driving all those hours.  I was able to get my magazine signed (yay) and while he did take some pictures, I didn't get the chance and I could tell he wanted to go.

I watched the last episodes of Avatar: The Last Airbender.  While the ending was no surprise, I must say that some of the animation, especially the 2 major fight scenes in the finale, was quite beautiful.  This was a great series and I'm so glad I followed the advice and gave it a chance.

No more Dr Horrible  =(  I keep reading mentions/possibility of a sequel so let's keep our fingers for that.  Act III was kinda a shocker but it's Whedon.  I shouldn't have been surprised.  I love how this series has turned so many people into NPH fans.  NPH is awesome.  I can't get "Can't Believe My Eyes" (song at the beginning of Act II) out of my head, I love it so.  When's the DVD coming out?

Made it to the Pride parade this year, yay.  onci_dium, I looked for you but couldn't find you  :(   John Barrowman was in the parade, on the Maria float with the host, Gavin, and 4-5 guys in lederhosen.  He looked like he was having lots of fun.  I was amused when both John & Gavin got soaked by water pistols.  When the parade started, I was at the beginning of the route (looking for Onci) and that's where I stayed until John's float went by.  I then proceeded to follow the float all along the route, LOL!!  Stalker-ish much?  My excuse is that I had to walk that way to get home anyway...  Going to the show for the 3rd time tomorrow night... oh my, I've become a full-fledged stalker, haven't I?

Best part -- I caught a glimpse of John's tummy when he was trying to cool down by doing that fanning yourself with your shirt thing.  Nice.

The camera gods smiled down on me cause even though my battery died after snapping 3 pictures of John, all 3 pictures turned out pretty decent  \o/

Looking at my tags list, it looks like I have a preference for actors with names starting with the letter J. :) Warning: this post is picture-heavy!

J #1 -- John Barrowman.

bauersgirl & I, for the last 2 nights, have endured what felt like hours of queue waiting for the Top 10 performance and results show. I admit that I probably spent more time looking at JB then I did at the contestants. He's so amusing to watch during the performances cause he sometimes gets really into it.

For both shows, we were seated at the opposite side of the studio from the judges. While it did give us a good view of JB, it was freakin' hard to get a decent picture! I must have taken about 100 pictures during the commercial breaks and only a handful were passable, none of them were really good.

( cut for some not-so-good john barrowman pictures )

J #2 -- Jared Padalecki.

Thanks to my f-list for all the videos, pictures & recaps of the Supanova con in Sydney. He is just as adorable as ever.

New TV Guide picture. GUH. I would apologize to those who've had this picture pop up on the f-list like a gazillion times today but I won't cause it's Jared and who could ever tire looking at a picture like that?



J #3 -- James McAvoy.

I love him best when he uses his natural Scottish accent. And I never knew he was such a funny guy! I've been watching quite a few of his interviews and the one he did on Parkinson's (UK talk show) is probably my favourite because in part 3 he and Billie Piper, talk about doing sex scenes and, well, I'm just shallow like that.

The event was the public launch of CBC's How Do You Solve a Problem Like a Maria? -- the search for the one who will portray Maria in the upcoming stage production of The Sound of Music.  The top10 finalists were there, they performed 2 songs and each did quick interview with the host.

Blah blah blah, let's get to the pictures shall we?


Oh yea, I also saw George Stroumboulopolous (I think that's right, lol) in the crowd.  I like him and his show, The Hour.

Saw John Barrowman.

Took many pictures of John Barrowman.

Stared at John Barrowman's ass.

Took picture with John Barrowman.  (oh my, he holds you tight!  I look terrible but who cares!)

Now back at the office and must do work.  Co-worker noted I was all smiley, LOL

Pictures will be uploaded tonight!

* Since my slight burning due to sitting on the patio last weekend, I have now entered the peeling phase.  EW.  And the fact that it's occurring on my forehead, not a pretty picture. 

* For those who can make it -- meet the 10 Maria finalists and the judges (i.e. John Barrowman + some other people) at the CBC building, June 17, noon.  I'm gonna try and make it.  So it'll be a 2-hour lunch, I'll work til 6.

* Where's the hot Russian ballroom dancer contestant in this season's of "So You Think You Can Dance"?  We've been blessed with Artem then Dimitry then Pasha and now no one!  It's just not right.  So far, I have no favourites and no one I dislike either.

* Went to Chinatown after work yesterday and bought some soy sauce chicken and Cantonese chow mein.  YUMMY.  And I purposely set some aside to bring for lunch today or else I would've eaten it all.

* That's all I've got.

EEEEEEEEE!!  Both bauersgirl  and I got tickets to the Maria show!!  I'm going to be in the same room as John Barrowman!!!!!  *flails*  I have to figure out how to sneak a camera in!  I need to get a picture with the Captain!!   We both got 2 tickets which means we have 2 extra so if anyone wants to stalk see JB do his judging thang, let me know.  The details: CBC Building, Toronto, Sun June 22, 6-8pm.  SOLOOOOOOOO!!!!  YOU HAVE TO COME DOWN!!!

Another example of my craziness:  I purchased a 5-star platinum ticket for the 3rd -- yes, three! -- NKOTB concert.  WHAT WAS I THINKING?!???!! LOL  The package comes with a seat in the first 10 rows, a meet-and-greet + photo op before the show and some other stuff.  Kinda expensive but cheaper than those greedy bastards at Creation.

Bear with me but one more NKOTB thing.  Footage of the boys making their video to "Summertime" is up and OMG THE CHEESINESS.  The all-white outfits = BSB's "I Want it that Way" circa 1994.  Donnie running on the beach with his shirt open is hot LULZ.  Oh boys.

In other news, I finished watching Avatar and I WANT THE LAST EPISODES NOW!!!!!  I should've stretched out my viewing and I did try to do that but it wasn't happening.  I watched a behind-the-scenes clip on YouTube which showed all the voice actors and the guy who voices Zuko looked so familiar to me but I couldn't place him.  Off to IMDB I go and OMG it's Rufio from "Hook"!!  Ruuuuufiiiiooooooo!!!!!  Awesome.

Obtained a copy of New York Minute and dear lord, how cute was Jared?!  SO.CUTE.  The dancing at the end!!  I did skip through a lot of the movie but of what I did see, MK & Ashley Olsen were kinda sorta not bad.  I still can't tell who is who though.

To those on my f-list that are off to the Dallas con this weekend -- I hate you all have LOTS of fun and take many many pictures of Jared for me, 'k?  And the other boys too!!
