Now Playing: Keith Urban - Kiss a Girl

I think I’ve been pretty late with my Summer Happy List thing, so I’ll be making a doubly long one today.

SUMMER HAPPY LIST!

1. Review classes
I called it treachery before, but I have to admit—I really did learn to like it and everything that came with it. Fast—and occasionally slow—food, my Kostka G classmates (some of them anyway), our teachers, the endless jokes.. I could go all day. Although towards the end I was itching for all of it to end, I’ll definitely miss having review classes.

2. American Idol
I’m not immune to the lure of this tremendously popular show. Somehow it is an addiction that never ceases. It always goes on like this: at the start of the season it’s just a teeny spark of interest, and then it steadily grows into an internal mania that makes me do crazy things, like make me my own Kris poster while watching at home (seriously!). And it will probably be stronger than ever after this season, which I believe is their best yet. That’s saying a lot, since I thought the David showdown last year was nothing short of phenomenal. (Of course I might be biased on both accounts, where my chosen ones ended up winning.)

3. American Idol podcasts
Since I don’t have too much people around to harass about my Idol and Kris fixation, I turn to podcasts. My favorite by far is the Kool 105.5 American Idol Fan Show. It is a gold mine of laughs. I also like AOL Television’s Something Pitchy and The Idle Review with Josh and Jen, probably because they’re also going for Kris. Will definitely continue listening to supplement my Idol experience next year.

4. American Idol blogs
I’m reading them for the very reason I download the podcasts. Really glad I did, for because of it I’ve met some of my new favorite writers—the insightful, eloquent Michael Slezak from EW, the fierce Richard Lawson from Defamer (I fell in love him in one of his earlier recaps where he called Lil Rounds a “creature” and Nathaniel Marshall a “funky gay kid with the headband”—spot on!) and the brilliant forumers at TWoP.

5. Karaoke
Now before this installment of SHL looks like a tribute to Idol, let me make it clear that this time I’m referring to real karaoke. Or videoke if that’s the better term (what the shit is the difference anyway?). Last Tuesday, Czare, Gen, Maf and I celebrated the end of review classes at Eastwood. After eating at Fazoli’s, we burned time at one of the karaoke rooms at Timezone. It really remains a mystery as to how singing bad songs (sometimes good, but mostly bad) for hours can be fun, but it totally is. We swore to return, and I’m looking forward to that.

6. Red Mango
I’m a huge yogurt nut, and here I had the best fro yo ever. It’s exquisite. Love mine with some mango, peaches and chocolate chips. I’m drooling just thinking about it.

7. The Gossip Girl season finale
I don’t want to spoil anything to those who haven’t watched it yet. Trust me, spoilers would take some of the magic away from it. If you want to see the magic I’m talking about, get your Torrent on and download now. It’s an awesome end to an awesome season.

8. Boystown
Good golly. Currently enjoying this show on ABS. Plot and practically everything else is expected and cliché, but I can’t remember watching a more handsome cast. Hello Robi and Enchong!

9. School shopping!
We’ve started last Saturday, and now it feels like summer really is fast drawing to a close. But school shopping is always a treat, me always like getting new stuff even if they are for school. Yesterday I got me this gorgeous bag from Nike. It’s a tad too small (as usual—I hardly bring home stuff from my locker) and comes in a lovely deep purple. I originally wanted it in black, but after like five years of using a neutral-colored Nike bag for school, I guessed it was time for a change.

10. Angels and Demons
Because of a very wrong spoiler from one of my review class classmates, I watched the entirety of this movie with eyes that awaited death of all the cast members. It didn’t happen. (Oops I just spoiled the whole thing. Heehee.) But it’s an amazing movie either way, very unexpected, staggeringly exciting. Leads you to wonder what kind of freakin childhood Dan Brown had to come up with something as disturbingly morbid and magnificent as this.

11. The Unicorn Club: In Love with Mandy
I’m a huge bookworm, anyone who has been to my house and seen my budding library can see that. So I’ve obviously read tons of books, but this one manages to stand out, as I’ve realized after rereading yesterday. It is off The Unicorn Club, a spin-off of the Sweet Valley series. The title sounds cheesy and mushy and whatnot, but this truly is one story I will always remember. It’s a beautiful, cinematic fairy tale about love, friendship and sacrifice. I’ve read it too many times to count but I never tire of it, and it gets me every damn time.
